Thanks James, now all the other stuff that I read about reset makes
sense. I had been assuming that since I don't have a reset function
for my form that I didn't need it.
Now I'm having issues with my nested forms. Does anyone have a
recommendation on how to deal with them?
This is what I've done:
<... snip from reset method ...>
if (thePage == 2) {
if (map.containsKey("dfcAPInd")) map.put("dfcAPInd", Boolean.FALSE);
subformReset("projectTypes", map, actionMapping,
httpServletRequest);
<... end snip from reset method ...>
<... snip subformReset method ...>
private void subformReset(String key, Map map,
ActionMapping actionMapping, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
httpServletRequest) {
if (map.containsKey(key)) {
ArrayList list = (ArrayList)map.get(key);
Iterator it = list.iterator();
DynaValidatorSimpleXrefForm widgetFormBean;
while (it.hasNext()) {
widgetFormBean = (DynaValidatorSimpleXrefForm)it.next();
widgetFormBean.reset(actionMapping, httpServletRequest);
}
}
}
<... end snip subformReset method ...>
The reset method in the nested form only resets a couple of
checkboxes. But now I get validation errors. The validation on the
nested forms is as follows:
<... snip validation ...>
<form name="SimpleXrefForm">
<field property="isSelected" depends="requiredif">
<arg0 key="xref.isSelected"/>
<var>
<var-name>field[0]</var-name>
<var-value>comments</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>fieldTest[0]</var-name>
<var-value>NOTNULL</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>field[1]</var-name>
<var-value>BMGS</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>fieldTest[1]</var-name>
<var-value>NOTNULL</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>field[2]</var-name>
<var-value>ADDL</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>fieldTest[2]</var-name>
<var-value>NOTNULL</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>fieldJoin</var-name>
<var-value>OR</var-value>
</var>
</field>
</form>
<... end snip validation ...>
It is like all the nested forms throw an error if they haven't been
filled out at all. So if I have 10 projectTypes and I check off 3 of
them, I get 7 errors.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance, J
