I have the follow scenerio that I am trying to code for. 1. I have a JSP with a form. This page ios called "sales.jsp". 2. The form has a select box in it that displays a list of products. The page grabs the products list Bean from the Request. There are also additional fields in the form. 3. The list of products is retrieved with a call to our service layer in the Action for the JSP page. This Action is called "sales.do". 4. The submit button for the form submits the data on the form to "salesAdjust.do". 5. The salesAdjust.do Action has an ActionForm associated to it called "salesForm". This form has a validate method for validating the input. If the validate fails, controls is forwarded back to the sales.jsp page. Therefore, sales.jsp is the "input" property for the salesAdjust.do Action. 6. The problem I am having is that if the ActionForm failes validation, then the sales.jsp page gets an error becaue it can not find the bean in the Request for the products list. Should I build this bean in my validate and place it in the request at the beginning of validate? If validate fails, there is no other opportunity to build the products list and get it into the Request. 7. I typically uses Actions to retrieves and build beans and then add them to the request for the jsp to access. Is this an acceptable practice also?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pat Young __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
