I normally use the same *type* of action form before and after my jsp
pages, but what if the jsp submits to an action that uses a different type
of action form, but contains a few of the same fields that I'd like to use
in that second action? Can I retrieve the submitted values (coming from
one action form type) to use in an action with a different action form
type?
Too confusing? :-)
If I have ...
SetupActionA, using its ActionformA, to display A.jsp
and ...
SetupActionB, using its ActionformB, to display B.jsp
Now say that my A.jsp contains a form that submits to SetupActionB.
If the ActionformA and the ActionformB contain a few identical fields, is
it correct that the parameters submitted from A.jsp can be retrieved and
used by my ActionformB in the SetupActionB?
public class SetupActionA extends Action {
public ActionForward execute(...) throws Exception {
ActionformA formA = (ActionformA) form;
formA.setMyID(someID);
formA.setMyName(someName);
... etc
}
}
public class SetupActionB extends Action {
public ActionForward execute(...) throws Exception {
ActionformB formB = (ActionformB) form;
formB.setMyID(*** get this from the A.jsp parameters ***);
formA.setMyName(*** get this from the A.jsp parameters ***);
... etc
}
}
My tests so far have been unsuccessful, especially for <html:hidden> field
values. I know that I can use request.getParameter("myID"), for values
submitted by the html form, but this does not seem to work for
<html:hidden> fields.
I think I am getting tripped up by an elementary Struts concept
(ActionForm instances?), but my brain seems to be up against a brick wall
at the moment.
Thanks for any clarification.
