The 5 things I can think a newbie would do so validation doesn't work: 1. no tld for struts html at the top of the JSP or not using html:text 2. no input=thejsp in the action mapping 3. validation isn't implemented right (or set to false or something) 4. Incorrect form bean type (especially if using struts validator) or no bean 5. Likes to annoy others just for fun
I can't think of any other pitfalls. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Robair [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 5:06 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: How to repopulate Form which has html elements with samename 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.
