Re: load data from db into form

[Jiri Chaloupka]

Yes, nested tags, I must look at ...
so now I have it without nested, form definition is now without it.
but still I got

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No destination bean specified
        at org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils.copyProperties(BeanUtils.java:220)
        at 
cz.chalu.struts.modules.completeregister.LoadDataAction.execute(LoadDataAction.java:32)
What is missing? I my action class (execute method) I have:

public ActionForward execute(...){
LoadDataService service = new LoadDataService();
ComplRegisterDTO registerDTO = service.loadUser(request);
BeanUtils.copyProperties(form, registerDTO);
return null;
}
If I understand well, in BeanUtils.copyProperties I copy data from DTO 
into form defined in execute method?
Or something other is wrong?

Thanks

Okay assuming the following..

<form-bean name="registerFull" 
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
             <form-property name="id" type="java.lang.Integer" />
           <form-property name="fullname" type="java.lang.String" />
            <form-property name="notify" type="java.lang.Integer" />
</form-bean>

..

<html:text property="fullname" />
<html:text property="id" />
<html:text property="notify />
or if you are nesting you bean which in that case i wouldn't (too short).

<form-property name="mybean" 
type="cz.chalu.struts.modules.completeregister.ComplRegisterDTO">

Then assuming that fullname, id, and notify are all properties of 
ComplRegisterDTO.

<html:text property="mybean.fullname" />
<html:text property="mybean.id" />
<html:text property="mybean.notify" />
Cheers Mark
