U r first Q ,I dont know ...But abt 2nd may be i have some suggestion form my experience with struts .. >>>2. What is the standard way to pass data from Action objects to the JSP (view)? Should the data be sent as a) Session properties, b) Some bean objects, or c) Data members of the Action object?
GEnerally u should try to avoid using session variables.So the standard way is to pass the data in request scope.So if the data u want to use in jsp is attribute of the formBean,then as the form bean is available to the jsp , u can use it there...I think this keeps the design clean as the form bean actually represents the form data..So u dont have to look at the action class to see what u are trying to put on jsp..The form bean is the place... -----Original Message----- From: suresh.addagalla [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2002 12:02 PM To: struts-user Subject: Validator (newbie) Hi, I have a couple of basic questions. 1. If we use ActionForm, the ActionServlet first executes the validate() method before calling execute() on the corresponding Action. If I switch from ActionForms to Struts Validator (that is, use ValidatorForm instead of ActionForm), do things work the same way? Is it that in this case also, ActionServlet calls the validate() just before calling the execute()? 2. What is the standard way to pass data from Action objects to the JSP (view)?
