http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6051 Provide access to pageContext from Action or ActionForm [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |WONTFIX ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-01-27 04:20 ------- In general, it is not possible to do this -- PageContext only exists during the execution of a JSP page, not a servlet. The standard design pattern is for an Action to store beans needed by the presentation layer JSP pages as request attributes or session attributes, which then become visible to the JSP page (when you forward to it) as request-scope or session-scope beans. ActionForm instances should be designed to be independent of their environment -- their only reason to exist is to store the state of the last inputs from the user somewhere on the server. If you find yourself needing references to other request or session scope beans, you are probably trying to put too much logic in them. Note that ActionForm beans *do* have access to application-scope data, because you can call getServlet().getServletContext().getAttribute() to access them. This is useful, for example, in the validate() method of a form bean, in order to access a dynamically created bean that defines the valid values for a particular property. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
