Hello everyone.
I am new to Struts2, and I like what I see so far. I want to use it for all my
web programming.
I have a question, and I hope I don't sound too foolish for asking it.
I created a login screen, which has two fields, "id" and "password". I fill
those fields, press the "Login" button, and it goes to the "LoginAction" class,
which validates everything, and I return "success". This invokes
"userDisplay.jsp" which writes the user's information out to the screen.
When the userDisplay screen appeared, I saw the field descriptions but I didn't
see any data. It seems like the getter methods for the fields are not being
called in the "UserDisplayAction" class. When I add the getter methods to the
"LoginAction" class, the data appears.
It seems to me that the "LoginAction" class is still in control. So in theory,
if I have an action class that invokes (via a pick list or a series of buttons)
a way of displaying a dozen different tables by routing to a dozen different
jsp files, that action class will need getter methods for every field in every
one of these tables? Am I reading this right?
I hope one of the experts can clear this up for me.
Thanks in advance,
Dennis Atkinson
