I would use seperate mappings. That is what I have always done. However you shouldn't consider this as carte blanche to chain loads of actions together - that is considered a sign of MVC framework violation.

Hi Adam,

Well, I tried to use a mapping as an input value but this has a catch.

As a matter of fact, I use the same Action and Action Form class for each page in a workflow. I have a Page field on my Actionform class. The value assigned to it simply helps me to select the next ActionForward.

Now, when I set the same ActionMapping as the input directive, I need a way to set my page field so that, I will be redirected just to my previous action. Do you have any recommendations?

Otherwise, I will have to define a seperate mapping for each workflow page , which I hope will solve the problem.

Hi Leyla, working out a strategy for your lists can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. In my mappings I point my 'input' back to the appropriate mapping that will execute an action where I sort out the lists I need.

Nobody has an idea on the subject?

This should be a problem for anyone that codes, select one and continue type web apps.

Subject: Struts form validation: DAO and multipages



Hi,


I have a multipage transaction. On the first page, inside the Action class , I bind a DAO list to request. This is listed on the second page. When I submit the formed page, if the next ActionForm.validate fails, it automatically returns to the previos page. (As defined in the sturts_config.xml form_bean/input directive.) Since my DAO list does not exist in the newly formed request I see nothing.

Is there a way to reexecute my previous ActionMapping when a fom validation fails. (for a multipage app.) Or can anyone reccomend a way to handle multipage apps. (Storing DAO in the session seem inefficient, since there may be lots of such cases.)

Regards,

Leyla
