It's really hard to determine a 100% accurate answer to this question.
There isn't really enough context. However, I will say a couple of things.
1. There is a BindingAndValidation LifecyclePhase where all binding
occurs. Depending on how your Contact property is being used, refer to
Jeppe's response.
2. You don't have to worry about it if you go the following route. Instead
of keeping a separate contactId property, just use the Contact contactId
(assuming its called that).
<s:hidden name="contact.contactId" />
And then just have your getters and setters for Contact.
3. I generally try not to put any business logic in my getters. I either
do that in the resolution or in a method marked with @After or @Before. So
for your situation I would do this:
@After(stages = {LifecycleStage.bindingAndValidation})
public void populateContact() {
if (contact.contactId != null ) {
contactDao.read(contact.getContactId());
}
}
You can further improve that by specificying specific events you want this
to trigger on if need be like so:
@After(on = {"save", "list"}stages = {LifecycleStage.bindingAndValidation})
public void populateContact() {
if (contact.contactId != null ) {
contactDao.read(contact.getContactId());
}
}
where "save" and "list" are event methods in your action bean.
