Hey Michael, ActionMapping is a subclass of ActionConfig, right? So if you use a similar construct for your mapping as for your form config, it *might* work (caveat: superficial API scan only; no testing). It's just a question of where in your food chain you do it (inside your Action class execute() method, perhaps).
Of course, that would defeat the declarativity (is that a word?) of an ActionMapping... I imagine Mr. McClanahan will weigh in on this at some point ;-) My 1.25 (inflation-beridden) cents, Curtis "Michael McGrady" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > At 12:57 PM 8/6/2004, you wrote: > >The problem would with Java in this case, since form is passed in..... > > > >you could do something like > > BeanUtils.copyProperties( form, > > DynamicActionFormFactory.createBlankForm( blah blah); > >and that might work better. > > > public class DynamicActionFormFactory { > public static ActionForm createBlankForm(String name, String type, > String[] fields) { > ActionForm form = null; > FormBeanConfig config = null; > FormPropertyConfig prop = null; > config = new FormBeanConfig(); > config.setName(name); > config.setType(type); > if (fields != null) { > for (int i=0; i<fields.length; i++) { > prop = new FormPropertyConfig(); > prop.setName(fields[i]); > prop.setType("java.lang.String"); > prop.setInitial(""); > prop.freeze(); > config.addFormPropertyConfig(prop); > } > } > config.freeze(); > try { > form = (ActionForm) > DynaActionFormClass.createDynaActionFormClass(config).newInstance(); > } catch (Exception e) { > StdOut.log("log.error",new ChainedException(e,"Exception creating > blank form: " + e.getMessage())); > } > return form; > } > } > > What about the ActionMapping? > > Michael McGrady > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
