Please help!
Background
==========
I have a class that extends the new
MappingDispatchAction
class
. This class has two methods, namely getCustomer and
updateCustomer.
The corresponding mapping for each method are below:
<action path="/getCustomer"
type="com.fujimitsu.cargo.gen.CustomerAction"
name="cargoForm"
scope="request"
validate="false"
input=".customerDef.jsp"
parameter="getCustomer">
<forward name="success" path=".customerDef.jsp" />
</action>
<action path="/updateCustomer"
type="com.fujimitsu.cargo.gen.CustomerAction"
name="cargoForm" scope="request"
validate="true"
input=".customerDef.jsp"
parameter="updateCustomer">
<forward name="success" path=".customerDef.jsp" />
</action>
my jsp has three buttons, namelygetCustomer,
updateCustomer and cancel.
My question:
============
1. In my JSP, what what should be the value of the
ACTION attribute of html:form
i.e. <html:form action="??????????"> (i.e. which
mapping should be specified here)?
2. what should the code of the button for excuting
a. getCustomer and updateCustomer method be?
i.e. <html:submit ???????????????
b. cancel be i.e. <html:cancel ???????????????
Thank you.
Thanks for your response, I have rephrased my question
as above.
