Thanks Jim, that works for the initial validation. Thank you. However, if you look at my code below you'll see I have a reset button on the page. When I press this I want the form to repopulate like it does on initial entry. However, the validation is kicking in.
If I have bad values on the form I cannot reset the page. What can I do in this case?

It's not the action class... it's in the struts-config file. validation="false" I believe is what you want for the pre-population to work without validation. > > > > Can anybody show me how to initialise the form correctly. > Here is my Action > class > > > > Thanks > > Donie > > > > > > import java.util.Locale; > > import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; > > import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; > > import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession; > > import org.apache.log4j.Category; > > import org.apache.struts.action.Action; > > import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm; > > import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward; > > import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping; > > import org.apache.struts.util.MessageResources; > > import org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils; > > > > import com.tecnomen.mms.sm.backend.*; > > > > public final class ContentAdaptationFormMainAction extends Action > > { > > static Category log = > Category.getInstance(ContentAdaptationFormMainAction.class.getName()); > > public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping > mapping,ActionForm form, > HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) > throws Exception > > { > > Locale locale = > getLocale(request); > > MessageResources > messages = > getResources(request); > > HttpSession session = > request.getSession(); > > ActionForward forward = > mapping.findForward("success"); //default > > > > // Get the data for > oSystemContentAdaptation > > > ContentAdaptationService service > = new ContentAdaptationService(); > > > ContentAdaptationForm theForm = > (ContentAdaptationForm) form; > > > ContentAdaptationDTO caDTO; > > > > > > > int buttonSelect = > theForm.getSelected(); > > > > switch(buttonSelect) > > { > > case > ContentAdaptationForm.SUBMIT_BUTTON: > > > log.info("Submit CA form"); > > > > > // Create new data object for this form > > > caDTO = new ContentAdaptationDTO(); > > > BeanUtils.copyProperties(caDTO, theForm ); > > > service.setContentAdaptation(caDTO); > > > forward = new ActionForward(mapping.findForward("submit")); > > > break; > > > > case > ContentAdaptationForm.CANCEL_BUTTON: > > > log.info("Cancel CA form"); > > > forward = new ActionForward(mapping.findForward("cancel")); > > > break; > > case > ContentAdaptationForm.RESET_BUTTON: > > > log.info("Reset CA form"); > > > default: > > > // Populate the form > > > caDTO = new ContentAdaptationDTO(); > > > caDTO = service.getContentAdaptation(); > > > BeanUtils.copyProperties( theForm, caDTO ); > > > break; > > } > > return forward; > > } > > } > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
