Re: starting request processing after setting bean properties

[Imam, Asim, CFCTR]

Mary,

I do something like this

In the loginBean, I have a method isDataMissing() which checks if username,
password are not null, if something is missing I just return a string saying
what was missing or if not missing I return something like "ok" (you can
also use boolean, I do it this way because in my other query screens I
actually return back the fields that were missing)

so in ur JSP, before you call authenticate(), call isDataMissing() and if it
returns OK then call authenticate else (in my case) I display the fields
that are missing...


<% if (loginBean.isDataMissing().equalsIgnoreCase("ok")){
        // Nothing is missing
        //call authenticate()
        loginBean.authenticate();
        }
       else{
        // display an Error Message...
        }
%>

Hope it helps

Subject: starting request processing after setting bean properties


Hello,

What is the appropriate way to invoke request processing on a jsp after all
the bean
properties have been set?

For example:

class LoginBean
{
   String username;     // mapped to input on jsp
   String passwd;       // mapped to input on jsp
   String success;      // mapped to some value in jsp
   public void setUsername(String _username)  {...}
   public void setPasswd(String _passwd)  {...}
   public void authenticate()  { // check username and passwd against db }
};

How would one go about specifying the invocation the authenticate() in the
jsp so that it is done after usename and passwd are set from the parameters
in the request?

Thanks,
-Mary
