Thanks to all of you. I'll try your suggestions and let you know. Nadia -----Original Message----- From: Fogleson, Allen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 3:47 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: <bean:write> within <html:text>, how to use?
Optionally, What I have often done with DTO's is populate the action form from the DTO and place the action form in the appropriate scope for use by the page. Assuming that almost everything is a call to an action you can do this in the action class just prior to forwarding to the view. It gets rid of the <bean:write...> calls. I personally think this is the cleanest way to do this. Al -----Original Message----- From: David G.

Nadia, Since you're talking DTO and not an input form bean, I recommend putting your myBeanName object in the "request" scope using the method request.saveAttribute() to store it. You should then be able to access it using html:text and the name="myBeanName" parameter a bit like this: <html:text name="myBeanName" property="id" /> Without the name="myBeanName", the html:text defaults to using the default bean for the Action. Since you already have one, that is why I suggested putting the DTO in the request scope.

OK. I obviously don't know enough to use the tags properly even though I've been playing with struts for a week or two. My biggest problems are with the presentation. The bean myBeanName is the DTO object and not an action form so it's not specified in the struts-config.xml. The action form for this screen is configured in struts-config.xml. Now what is the right way to do things? Can I fill out my action form with data? What do I need to do in my jsp to display the data then? Or I need to declare my DTO bean in struts-config? I apologize if the questions are absolutely dumb :) NK -----Original Message----- From: Ricardo Andres Quintero [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 2:14 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: <bean:write> within <html:text>, how to use? Hello Nadia I dont know why you use <html:text name="somename" value= ' <bean:write name="myBeanName" property="id"/> ' /> instead of use <html:text name="myBeanName" property="id" /> did u configure myBeanName in the struts-congig.xml? does the action of the html:form use the bean-form myBeanName?
