use a textField and say hidden="true"I'm new to dbforms and would like some advice on the "best" way to handle a multiple screen registration form
These are the steps I need to accomplish
1) Present a Student registration form, with name, age, etc. Student also needs to enter his National ID Number 2) Compute a student_id based on the National Id and other criteria, this student_id value is part of the 'student' table. 3) Goto screen 2, 'parent' input screen. This table has student_id as a foreign key. The field should be seeded with the correct value and not be visible.
My questions are 1 whats the best way to handle #2 ?, a preInsert intererceptor ?, or some jsp on the page that catches the 'commit' action (how ??)
Yes, exactly.
...
this.setValue(table, fieldValues, "student_id", "2345243542(or whatever the value is)");
...
2 how Do I pre-populate form #2 with some values from form #1.
How about a parent/child form
Put the subform in the body of the main form and use parentField="student_id" childField="student_id"
Otherwise you can tuck things in the session and pull them out for your page.
Thanks in advance,
Neal Katz
