Repopulation IS a freebie. The examples that come with struts are right (generally). The first thing to do is understand every tag in the examples' struts-config.xml. Easier said than done, but maybe this will help: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01060.html
In any case, you do not need to 'rebuild' a form, simply forward back to the .jsp page where the error happened. If the 'input' parameter of the <action> is set, this should happen automatically if validation is on. -Kevin --- sjones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Repopulating Fields. > > I keep hearing that this is a freebie in struts but > i have note seen it work > on > my app yet. i just stuff what i want to repopulate > with in the session (for > now). > > It would be nice if someone could post what "setup > write" IS. so we can > check > if we have something set up "WRONG". > > After all, WSAD 5 came with struts preloaded so how > can it be setup wrong? > > > > "Sashi Ravipati" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in > message > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > 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 11:30AM >>> > > > > Sounds like you might be missing > input="theform.jsp" in your action > > where > > theform.jsp is the name of your JSP you want to > have come back with the > > errors.
