Let me rephrase my question. I have a table which looks like this.. example <table width="300" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1"> <tr> <th>Name</th> <th>Sex</th> </tr> <tr> <td><html:text property="name" /></td> <td><html:select property="sex" > <html:option value=""> </html:option> <html:option value="M" >Male</html:option> <html:option value="F" >Female</html:option> </html:select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><html:text property="name" /></td> <td><html:select property="sex" > <html:option value=""> </html:option> <html:option value=""> </html:option> <html:option value="M" >Male</html:option> <html:option value="F" >Female</html:option> </html:select> </td> </tr> </table>
So when I add data like Sashi Male Sushma FEMALE now I submit the form, and say there are some validation errors how can I build the table with the above values retrieving from the Form Bean .My form bean has the following methods public String[] getName(){ return name; } public void setName(String[] newName){ name = newName; } public String[] getSex(){ return sex; } public void setSex(String[] newSex){ sex = newSex; } The values are getting stored in the array, but to get them back and build my table is what is not clear to me.. <logic:iterate > may do the job but how to use it?? Hope I am clear now >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/05/03 11:15AM >>> doesn't the form do this automatically? if validation fails, i think the standard behavior is to return the user to the page just as they left it -- preferably with the appropriate error message....i know there are multiple ways to do the validation (and i'm not using the best way), but one way is to have a method like the one below in you form bean. If any of the following conditions are met, the user is returned to the page with the form populated. Hope this helps. -nathan public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) { ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors(); if (this.isBlankString(oldpassword)) { errors.add("oldpassword",new ActionError("error.required.oldpassword")); } if (this.isBlankString(newpassword1)) { errors.add("newpassword1", new ActionError("error.required.newpassword1")); } if (this.isBlankString(newpassword2)) { errors.add("newpassword2", new ActionError("error.required.newpassword2")); } // Test to see if the new passwords are the same. if (!newpassword1.equals(newpassword2)) { errors.add("newpassword1", new ActionError("error.passwordmatch")); } return errors; } On Thursday, June 5, 2003, at 09:59 AM, Sashi Ravipati wrote: > Hi > > I am a newbie to struts... > > I have a dynamic table which has a <html:text > and a <html:select> . > The user cliks on a add button and enter values in each row of the > table and submits the form. > > How can I repopulate the valuse if validation fails. > > Can some body give a working exapmle of the Action Form that is > required for this kind of requirement. > > I found this in Ted Husted site but had no clue as what he is trying > to do, What is RESULT etc > — > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > ------------------- > <TABLE><html:form action="/item/StoreCategory"> > <logic:iterate name="RESULT" property="iterator" id="row"> > <TR> > <TH>name</TH> > <TH>category</TH> > </TR> > <TR> > <TD><bean:write name="row" property="name"/></TD> > <TD><%-- REMEMBER TO SPECIFY THE ITERATE ID AS THE NAME --%> > <html:select name="row" property="category"> > <html:option value="ART">Art</html:option> > <html:option value="AUT">Automotive</html:option> > <%-- ... --%> > </html:select> > <%-- REMEMBER TO SPECIFY THE ITERATE ID AS THE NAME --%> > <html:hidden name="row" property="key"/> > </TD> > </TR> > </logic:iterate> > <TR> > <TD colspan="2" align="right"> > <html:submit/> > </TD> > </TR> > </html:form> > </TABLE> > — > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > ----------------- > ============================= Nathan Pitts Programmer Analyst Texas Animal Health Commission ============================= --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
