http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31365 Add initValue attribute to html:radio tags Summary: Add initValue attribute to html:radio tags Product: Struts Version: 1.2.4 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Custom Tags AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would like to propose the addition of a "initValue" attribute to a radio tag in the Struts HTML taglib which would override the value of the bean "property" for the purposes of initialising the form-bean value. An example of why this is required is as follows: you have two actions, a view action and a business action. A JSP form page targets the business action and has a set of radio options that determines which fields are available and are also parameters of the business logic. The radio buttons are 'hot' and a JavaScript refresh statically calls another, view action which re-renders the page when the radio buttons values are altered. Effectively, the radio buttons are fields for both actions. The problem is without the ability to set the initial value in the radio buttons and override the normal method of selecting which radio option is selected, there is now way to reliably set the properties for the form-bean of the primary, business action form bean. You can set the values of the radio buttons in the request scope from the view action and read them in the reset() method of the business action form bean, but the reset() method is only called when the form-bean is retired after the action has been executed. Hence, it is not callde afetr refreshing the page using the javascript. What I propose is a initValue parameter to be used as so: <html:radio property="searchType" value="flight" initValue="${viewForm.searchType}" /> <html:radio property="searchType" value="car" initValue="${viewForm.searchType}" /> For the purposes of initialising the values of the form the initValue is used to check if the radio button is checked except where the form is returned to due to errors executing the form data through the business action. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
