Hi, I've tried browsing and searching the mail archives on how to implement this but have not turned up anything useful.
I've written a Struts-based webapp (coupled with EJB) and am applying some finishing touches to it. I have a number of forums that, upon submission, will lead to another page. This other page, however, is a result of a dynamic lookup which the action servlet populates, and a requirement for this page to be generated is a certain request identifier. To clarify this, say I have two simple objects called Merchant and Items, of which Merchant can sell one or more items. If I display the merchant's page, I get to see a list of items sold by this particular merchant. Now the merchant's page has a link that says "Create new Item", which contains a form that, when submitted, will go to the merchant's page now showing an updated list with the new item. However, for the merchant page to be displayed (which is handled by the action servlet), it would need to know the merchant's id. Is there a way to do more flexible (conditional/parametric) customization of the action forwards? Or what is the proper, if any, way of implementing this? I have several pages with similar dependencies (due to the OO/relational design), and it can get very tiring to have to navigate deeper into a hierarchy just to repeat an action. In trying to follow MVC, I try to route all requests through controller servlets, so the webapp has very little direct links to JSP pages. These controller servlets, however, need certain information in generating certain pages (in the case above, a merchant's id to display information about that merchant). Help on the matter is greatly appreciated. These are minor things which I'd like to cover prior to releasing our web app. Thanks. :) Gino Ledesma // Programmer's Excuse #4: You can't use that version on your system. ===== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
