RE: Progamatically setting values of FORM elements
From the responses, I am guessing there is not a way to do this with only the Servlet API? I am not currently using struts and learning to use them, implementing them at this time, I think would be too much of a headache. I'll have to find an alternate solution that fits into our own framework.

RE: Progamatically setting values of FORM elements
No concept of HTML. But it does have concept of parameters. When you submit a form, the form contents are placed in a parameter. (in ServletRequest) There is no way that I know of to do the reverse, set those parameters on the response and it will apply to the form elements. The browser stores the element values somewhere, just thought it might have been floating around somewhere I could get it. I thought someone would know something I did not. -Original Message- From: Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 30, 2004 3:43 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Progamatically setting values of FORM elements Hi, No, the Servlet API has no concept of HTML.

Re: Progamatically setting values of FORM elements
Well it's not part of the servlet spec and certainly should not be IMHO. What you can do is to create a bean which sets those parameters from the request, and pass it to the resulting JSP page. Then in the JSP page you use getter methods (or EL variables) to populate those parameters. This is usually used when there're errors in the submitted form and I'd assume you're going to use it with the same purpose. Various web application frameworks like struts or webwork/xwork will do this automatically for you. (I'm using webwork/xwork right now and IMHO it's much less complicated and more elegant than struts.) If you're using your home grown framework, you can at least borrow ideas from those other frameworks ... On 7/30/2004 1:13 PM, Luc Foisy wrote: No concept of HTML.

Re: Progamatically setting values of FORM elements
Try Sun's Studio Creator (Rave). It's all graphical. You don't have to learn anything, and it does all for you. All you have to do is drag and drop those check box into a page and you're done. It bases on Java Server Faces, and the creator of this technology I believe is the same one how previously created Struts. So it's like Struts, but better. I tried both Struts and this, and I love the JSF right away. Luc Foisy wrote: Is there any way I can have my java set the values of FORM elements.
