Hi, I am trying to implement antonio lagnada's html buttons 'pattern' (http://j2ee.lagnada.com/struts/html-buttons.htm) with DynaValidatorForms however I am have problems in the Action form when I try to interrogate the getters to find which button has been pressed.
I am fairly new to struts so I may have interpreted how to implement this 'pattern' with DynaValidatorForms incorrectly, and would really appreciate some direction. here is where my problem lies ... I have my action 'AddTrainer' as follows ... public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response){ ActionForward forward = mapping.getInputForward(); AddTrainerForm addTrainerForm = (AddTrainerForm) form; String foo = (String)addTrainerForm.get("buttons.submit.name"); ---snip---- At this point it stack dumps because property buttons.submit.name doesn't exist. I have toyed with the idea of creating it as a form-property but I don't think that this is right. I understand that when submit is pressed ---snip---- <html:submit property="buttons.submit.name">Submit</html:submit> ---snip---- It will carry out a getButtons().getSubmit().setName("Submit") But how do I interrogate that setter when I am using dynamic forms? Here is the other bits of pertiment code ... strus-config.xml ---snip---- <form-beans> <form-bean name="addTrainerForm" type="com.struts.addtrainer.AddTrainerForm"> <form-property name="tnrId" type="java.lang.String"/> <form-property name="tnrFirstname" type="java.lang.String"/> <form-property name="tnrSurname" type="java.lang.String"/> </form-bean> </form-beans> ---snip---- <action path="/addTrainer" input="/jsp/addTrainer.jsp" name="addTrainerForm" scope="request" validate="true" type="com.struts.addtrainer.AddTrainer"> <forward name="addtrainer.cancel" path="/app/homePageSetup"/> <forward name="addtrainer.success" path="/app/trainerDetailSetup"/> </action> ---snip---- Created HtmlButton class as per example in url metioned above Created AddTrainerButtons as per example in url mentioned above {ExampleButtons.java} Modified my AddTrainerForm as follows ... public class AddTrainerForm extends DynaValidatorForm private AddTrainerButtons m_buttons = null; ---snip---- public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) { ActionServlet servlet = super.getServlet(); m_buttons = new AddTrainerButtons(); } ---snip---- public AddTrainerButtons getButtons() { return m_buttons; } } public void setButtons(AddTrainerButtons buttons) { m_buttons = buttons; } ---snip---- thanks to anybody and everybody who may be able to help my understanding of this! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
