You can set the scope of the bean in your action mappings in the struts-config.xml. See below:
<action path="/action/saveOptions"
type="com.foo.SaveOptionsAction"
input="/action/options.jsp"
name="form"
scope="session"
validate="true">
<forward name="somePage" path="/foo/somepage.jsp"/>
</action>

Subject: ActionForm validation
Hi,
I am trying to use my ActionForm object to perform simple validations.
If validation fails, I think the controller servlet will forward control
bake to the input form with whatever the user has entered. For example,
8 characters is required for a field, but user just entered 4
characters. Those 4 characters should be in the input text field in the
input form, but it gave me a blank field.
I use struts taglib. It looks like this in a input form:
.......
<html:form name="ipForm" action="ip.do"
type="net.covalent.........IPForm">
<html:text property="ip"
........
where "ip" is a variable field in IPForm class
I was wondering if the scope of ActionForm bean is "request" or
"session". In struts user guide, section 3.3.1, it reads "It (HTML
<form> element) also associates all of the fields within the form with a
session scoped FormBean that is stored uner the key ..." So, where can
I set the scope the the ActionForm bean?
Thanks,
-Sue
