Hmm. That does sound rather odd! Like you say, should not be like that. :-(
Only thing I can thing of here is: Is it the same session? (grasping at straws now!) Try println/logging the sessionId from the action and see if its still the same as first time through. -----Original Message----- From: Betty Koon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 27 February 2004 15:39 To: 'Struts Users Mailing List'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Problem with loss form (session scope) I am sorry. I only have 1 action map to this form. So, I guess the name doesn't matter in this case. Basically, what I am saying is the first time I hit this action, the form constrctor will get called but the 2nd time the action get called, this shouldn't happen, but it does. Yes, that's what I am planning to do next, download the source code and stepped through it. -Betty -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2004 11:18 PM To: Struts Subject: RE: Problem with loss form (session scope) Ah, but you didnt actually answer my question. Is it the same name for the form in both actions mappings, and do both these action mappings specify the scope to be session? My suspicion is that the problem is that struts is trying to find the form under a different key in the second action - but is this second action actually the same action as the first or different as I am assuming? btw: have you gone and looked at the struts source code for the request processor and request utils class to see what it is actually doing? (Tracing through with a debugger can be quite enlightening). One of the common attitudes in open source is that the source is the best reference and I certainly found this the case when I was first learning struts :-) -----Original Message----- From: Betty Koon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 27 February 2004 15:10 To: 'Struts Users Mailing List'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Problem with loss form (session scope) I specify my own name in the struts config. In my action, I just grabbed the action form from the execute method. And I am assumming struts fw get that from session for me in this case, rather than creating a new one for this request since my form is in session scope. Is this right assumption? -Betty -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2004 10:59 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Problem with loss form (session scope) What attribute did you set the form to be stored under? If none will default to form name. You are storing under same attribute key yes? Both actions mapping also defined the scope to be session? -----Original Message----- From: Betty Koon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 27 February 2004 14:51 To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Problem with loss form (session scope) In struts config's action definition, I set up the action to use a form in session scope. What I found out was, somehow the form constructor get called the 2nd time the action get called. To my understanding, if you set up the form in session, the form will only get created once. Any idea? -Betty -----Original Message----- From: Niall Pemberton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2004 9:06 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Problem with loss form (session scope) Without seeing your jsp/struts-config.xml/action its a bit of a guessing game. I'm a bit confused by you saying "...at this point, I set up this form bean as session scope". To me this implies your getting a form not in session scope (i.e. request) and saving it yourself in session scope. If that is the case - then maybe thats your problem - if the struts-config.xml says its request, thats where struts will look for it and, if it doesn't exist, it'll set a new one up in request scope (even if you already have one under the same name in session). If I've got it wrong, then maybe you could explain further. I'm also not clear whether your finding out your form has been 'wiped' as soon as you get into your action and before you "set it up as session scope" or after that when you get to your detail screen. Could you clarify that as well please.
