Hi.
I apologize for this probably really stupid question, but I was not able to
find a suitable answer anywhere, yet...
In my user management I want to provide a way that the users can change
their address (they are already stored in a database). Thus I need a form
with the old address as initial values.
In other words: There is a session variable "UserId". How can the form bean
that is used by "edituser.jsp" access this userid to adjust it's initial
values.
I can write >>name = "peter";<< in the constructor of my EditUserForm class.
But I want that the name is taken from a database depending on the UserId of
the session.
public void reset(ActionMapping mapping,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request) seems not to be executed.
Is something like that the right way:
public class EditUserForm extends ActionForm {
protected boolean initialized = false;
protected String name;
String getName() {
if ( !initialized ) doInitialize();
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public void doInitialize() {
name = get Name from Database... (but how can I access the
sessionvariables here?)
initialized = true;
}
}
Is there a new instance of EditUserForm created each time a user accesses
the page?
Dominic
