Uday> When user clicks "Add Employee" button on a page, need to display
employee.jsp to the user with the department dropdown list pre-populated. Was
wondering what about be a good approach. Also, would like to use the same jsp for
editing an employee. User would click a href link with employee name, which can pass a
query parameter (employee id). Was planning on writing a RetrieveEmployeeAction class.
But, need to discuss various options avialable for dealing these situations.
First of all, questions specific to Struts should probably go to the
"struts-user" list.
I'll answer the easy question :) .
Pre-populating a dropdown is done with the "html:select" and "html:options"
tags, where the latter is in the body of the former. The latter specifies the
items that go into the list, and the former specifies both the currently
selected items from the list, and the request parameter that will be sent with
the currently specified items.
If you want simple examples of this, inspect the "struts-exercise-taglib"
application, which is part of the Struts distribution. The "html-select.jsp"
page shows several examples of these tags in action.
