Re: Action question

[Ted Husted]

The set-properties feature is built into the Digester, so you won't see it the Struts code. These properties are loaded at the same time as the explicit properties.

That is where I first thought, but looking through the ActionMapping and ActionConfig classes I do not see where you can set the dynamic, declarative properties that get set with the set-property element. I say this because the DTD declares that the action element can contain zero or more set-property elements that I assume you can setup and populate in your Action subclass bean. Am I mistaken or is this a forward looking feature? I see where it is done with the datasource element.

Wouldn't those properties be set on the ActionMapping object, not the
Action? That should be created before the Action object.

I would have to disagree because it looks like the RequestProcessor
loads a new Action if it does not exist in the actions HashMap. Yet,
when I follow the loading of the class down to the RequestUtils class I
see it creating a new instance but do not see it populating that
instance with the dynamic properties that could be in setup using the
set-property element. I see the use of BeanUtils.populate() for loading
the datasources, but fail to see where the dynamic properties of the
action is getting loaded. Is this feature not implemented yet?

This is a question best asked on the USER list.

Though, the answer is that the ActionServlet loads everything.

I am a newbie to the source base and was wondering what class loads

the Action class with is properties defined in the action element as
well as the dynamic properties defined in the set-property element that
would be a child of the action element.
