Re: using html:link taglibs to call an ActionForm bean from a link

[Adam Hardy]

Hi Mehran,
if you use html-el taglib and the JSTL taglibs, you can set a variable 
from the formbean like this, where sectionForm is the name of my 
formbean in struts-config.xml:

<c:set value="${sectionForm.url}" var="url"/>
<c:set value="${sectionForm.title}" var="title"/>
and then reference it with EL in the link and combine your parameter 
with the querystring:

<html-el:link href="${url}?page=viewcontactlist">
  <c:out value="${title}" default="error"/>
</html-el:link>
If you used the JSTL link taglib then you could use nested parameters 
which is even funkier, but there are unfortunately other normal HTML 
attributes to <a> that <c:link> won't let you use.

Hi,

Does anyone know how to use the html:link taglibs to call an ActionForm bean from a 
link?
I also want to pass a param called 'page' to the link and set it's value to be 
'viewcontactlist'.
This is my ActionForm bean:

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.strus.action.*;
public final class ContactForm extends ActionForm {

      // page parameter from the CDS menu

      private String pageName =null;
      public String getPageName(){
            return (this.pageName);
      }
      public void setPageName(String pageName){
            this.pageName = pageName;
      }
}
I have done the below in my JSP page but it does not seem to be working...

<html:link href="/ContactForm" paramId="page" paramName="ContactForm" 
paramProperty="viewcontactlist">
</html:link>
