I think the struts-example webapp has an example of using
BeanUtils.copyProperties to copy values from a bean into the form.
Search the archives for 'prepopulate' and you should find some examples.
In a nutshell, you need to set the properties of the form bean before
you forward to the JSP, (then avoid setting them again when the form is
submitted, otherwise you'll overwrite the user input).
I have this...
private void prepopulateForm( ... )
{
// copy properties from the DTO to the form
if ( form != null && contact != null ) {
DynaActionForm dvForm = (DynaActionForm) form;
BeanUtils.copyProperties( dvForm, contact );
//manually deal with prospectName since it's called
prospectNameOrId on the form
dvForm.set( "prospectNameOrId", contact.getProspectName() );
}
}
