Re: How do I get a form's name within ?

[Erik Hatcher]

Ok, I understand now... yes, thats a flaw in my LabelTag of course and it should take into account the form bean on the page, not the action mapping.

Let me know if you beat me to a fix. I don't have situations where this has caused an NPE for me (yet), but would like to make sure its robust enough for others to use.

Matt - that seems like a reasonable change to me, although maybe its
even more robust to find the parent form tag and call the getBeanName()
method there?

I haven't had a chance to try the change to see how it affects my
project yet though.

I'm confused on why your ActionForward action doesn't have a form bean
associated with it though. How does the <html:form> tag know what form
to use then?

My ActionForward is thus:

<action
path="/userProfile"
type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
parameter="userProfile"/>

So there is not formBean on it - I suppose I could add one - but the form
where I'm getting the NPE *does* have a mapping with a formBean. Here's my form:

<html:form action="editUser" focus="firstName"
styleId="userForm" onsubmit="return validateUserForm(this)">

And the action-mapping for it:

<action
path="/editUser"
type="org.appfuse.webapp.action.UserAction"
name="userForm"
scope="session"
input="mainMenu"
parameter="action"
unknown="false"
validate="false"

I realize - what the heck are you using session scope for?? - but I think
people might use this in the real-world, and it'd be cool if the LabelTag
allowed for it.

Hope this helps to explain my problem better.
