Hhmm, need to revise my action classes quick! ;) Fighter I got it some how right or I wasn't chaining my Actions for prepopulation after all...;) (I know that at least I tried) Come to think again I think I might have chosen a root of invoking a combination of business commands form a single action. (no chain!)
But I like the option <2> on Jing's reply. Never thought of that! :) --Alen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Siva" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Alen Ribic" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2003 4:25 PM Subject: Re: Why not to use Action chaining ? > Dear Alen, the following link says strus doed not support action chaining..... > > http://www.scioworks.net/devnews/strutsDistilled/updates/update-030424/actio nChain.html > > Siva > > > Alen Ribic wrote: > > > Well reading the FAQ from what I understand you should be doing the > > following. > > > > You should have access to your necessary business methods from pretty much > > any struts action you build. > > This means that you should be able to carry out all necessary business > > commands for a particular action hence no chaining would be required to > > other actions. > > > > I however have been using chaining in my current system. > > I have actions that carry out unique tasks and when chained they populate my > > form with all I need! > > > > Anyway, I'm too new to Struts hence am not to sure what exactly is the right > > way to doing certain things. ;) > > > > --Alen > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Siva" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2003 12:14 PM > > Subject: Re: Why not to use Action chaining ? > > > > > Thanks Alen, > > > > > > Ted Husted (Struts in Action) says that the action chaining in the dark > > side > > > of Struts. > > > > > > The problem he mentioned is that > > > > > > "when the second action is being invoked, the form is being 'repopulated' > > > with the initial form values that the form had when it was passed to the > > > first action " > > > > > > Since I am new to struts, I am not able to grasp it clearly.
