Thanks for your help
The problem is that the setter for setButtonCreate never gets called in
the form bean even if I have a value set.
I have now found a workround for this problem, as follows:
In the action execute
...
if (isButton( request, "buttonCreate" ) ) {
LOG.debug( "createReport" );
serviceRequest( form );
forward=mapping.findForward(
IConstants.SUCCESS_KEY );
} else {
// No buttons pressed
// Fill in all the data needed for the view
// in the ActionForm.
initialiseForm( (ReportForm) form );
forward=mapping.findForward(
IConstants.SUCCESS_KEY );
}
'''
And new method...
public boolean isButton( HttpServletRequest request, String name ) {
// True if the request parameter name is not null
boolean state = (request.getParameter( name ) != null);
if (state) LOG.debug( "Button "+name+" pressed." );
return state;
}
This basically reads the parameter directly from the request, bypassing
struts, it's a bit manual, but that's fine by me because it works.
Cheers.
