Hopefully I'm not beating the group down with this question. I've seen several posts
that discuss "Wizard" functionality which makes use of the same form-bean across
multiple pages. I think I understand how that works and can make it work in my
application provided I'm starting w/o existing data.
If I bring existing data into my "Wizard" I get page 1 data, but not subsequent pages.
The run down:
I call "fetch.do" ( FetchAssetAction)
- go to the database and retrieve asset info and place in AssetForm
- put AssetForm in the Session
- forward to first page of "Wizard"
* data for first page is there
All pages of the "Wizard" post to "edit.do" (EditAssetAction)
- EditAssetAction determines next ActionForward
<action path="/edit"
type="org.eyecontact.asset.action.EditAssetAction"
name="AssetForm"
scope="session">
</action>
<action path="/fetch"
type="org.eyecontact.asset.action.FetchAssetAction"
name="AssetForm"
scope="session">
</action>
When I post from the first "Wizard" page the AssetForm gets reinitialized with the
data contained on the first "Wizard" page. I lose the data stored in the form for
subsequent "Wizard" pages.
I think I'm missing a fundamental design element that I hope someone can help me with.
Thanks in advance.
