Re: DynaActionForm question

Nice...

So the attribute attribute lets you override the the attribute name 
when the setAttribute method is called, rather than using the default 
form name.

Thanks Mark

hi,

attribute:
Name of the request-scope or session-scope attribute that
is used to access our ActionForm bean, if it is other than
the bean's specified "name". Optional if "name" is specified,
else not valid.
if you have something like this:

        <action path="/foo"
          type="com.my.BeanForm"
          attribute="foo"
          name="form2"
          input="/input.jsp"
          scope="request"
          validate="true">
and:
<form-bean name="form2"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
 <form-property name="property1" type="java.lang.String"/>
</form-bean>
your FormBean "form" of type:DynaValidatorForm
is named as "foo"
request.getAttribute("foo");
or
request.getSession().getAttribute("foo");

Not sure if its deprecated but i always use

<action path="/foo" name="myForm" ..

rather than attribute which i don't know anything about.

        </form-bean>
                        <action
                                path="/remoteParam"
        
type="com.mckesson.eig.actions.RemoteParameterAction">
                                attribute="searchForm"
                                scope="session"
                                validate="false">
                        </action>
	Based on the following struts documentation this should have
worked?
        <action path="/editRegistration"
        
type="org.apache.struts.webapp.example.EditRegistrationAction"
                 attribute="registrationForm"
                 scope="request"
                 validate="false">
              <forward name="success  path="/registration.jsp"/>
            </action>
        
        When the /editRegistration action is invoked, a registrationForm
is
created and added to the request, but its validate method is not
called. The
default value of the validate attribute is true, so if you do not want

an
action to trigger form validation, you need to remember to add this
attribute and set it to false.
	So now when I print off the session values when the action is
fired
these attributes are the only ones that exists:

	[02 Jan 2004 13:40:58,699] [RemoteParameterAction] Scope:
session
	[02 Jan 2004 13:40:58,699] [RemoteParameterAction] searchForm
must be
null in session
        [02 Jan 2004 13:40:58,709] [RemoteParameterAction] name:
SWIM_USER
        [02 Jan 2004 13:40:58,779] [RemoteParameterAction] name:
SWIM_FACILITY
        [02 Jan 2004 13:40:58,789] [RemoteParameterAction] name:
SESSION_MANAGER
        [02 Jan 2004 13:40:58,789] [RemoteParameterAction] name:
SWIM_MRN
        [02 Jan 2004 13:40:58,789] [RemoteParameterAction] name:
org.apache.struts.action.LOCALE
        [02 Jan 2004 13:40:58,789] [RemoteParameterAction] Our Form is
null........
        [02 Jan 2004 13:40:58,789] [RemoteParameterAction] Controller
contains Mrn: [032599]
    I was expecting to see a searchForm in the session based on the
documentation also that the form would not be null that was passed to
execute.
