Included below is info from the jsp, form class, and config file. Any
advice? I'm stuck. I've got a fix, but its really
terrible(embarrassing, but it works).
Here's the relevant JSP code(start.jsp):
<html:form action="/export">
<html:select property="customer" size="1">
<html:options property="customers" labelName="value"
labelProperty="key"/>
</html:select>
<P>
<html:submit property="addButton" value="Export"/>
</html:form>
ExportForm(ActionForm):
public Hashtable getCustomers(){
....
Hashtable hash = new Hashtable();
ResultSet rset = statement.executeQuery("select name, id from table");
while(rset.next()){
hash.put(rset.getString("name"), rset.getString("id"));
}
.....
return hash;
}
struts-config.xml:
<form-beans>
<!-- Export Form -->
<form-bean name="exportForm"
type="com.foo.ui.struts.form.ExportForm"/>
</form-beans>
<global-forwards>
<forward name="export" path="/content/start.jsp"/>
</global-forwards>
<action-mappings>
<!-- Export Action -->
<action path="/export" input="/content/start.jsp"
name="exportForm" scope="request"
type="com.foo.ui.struts.action.ExportAction">
<forward name="manager" path="/content/start.jsp"/>
</action>
</action-mappings>
