My aim is to get a session Attribute called as "userinfo" in the ActionForm.
In the ActionForm i have methods called getAddress,getAddress1,getAddress2.
These are all addresses of this person. So what i want to do is, if all
the info is already present in the db, i want to pre-populate it.If not
the user should beable to fill out the form.
In my getAddress() method i want to do something like this
public Address getAddress(){
Userinfo userinfo = session.getAttribute("userinfo");
Person p = userinfo.getPerson();
Address addr = p.getAddress("Appl Home Address");
if(addr!=null)
return addr
else
return new Address()
}
similarly
public Address getAddress1(){
Userinfo userinfo = session.getAttribute("userinfo");
Person p = userinfo.getPerson();
Address addr = p.getAddress("Work Address");
if(addr!=null)
return addr
else
return new Address()
}
This is the reason why i need to access the session Attribute
--Thank you
