I use multiple forms successfully in my sample application that I did in the
Wrox Pro JSP 2nd Edition book. There is one per entry in the HTML table.
--- snip: from showshoppingcart.jsp ----
<html:form action="/checkout.do">
<html:hidden property="action" value="update" />
<html:hidden property="<%= Constants.TITLE_ID %>"
value="<%= String.valueOf(titleId) %>" />
<table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0">
<tr>
<td>
<bean:define id="quantity" name="cartItem" property="quantity"/>
<html:text property="quantity"
value="<%= String.valueOf(quantity) %>"
size="5" maxlength="5"/>
</td>
<td>
<html:submit>
<bean:message key="button.update"/>
</html:submit>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</html:form>
--- snip: from showshoppingcart.jsp ----
I iterate over a collection of items in the shopping cart and display the
table. NOTE, each form has it's own submit button and that I use a hidden
variable to tell which form was submitted.
Here is the struts-config.xml file entry:
--- snip: from struts-config.xml file ----
<!-- Process checkout request -->
<action path="/checkout"
type="com.wrox.pjsp2.struts.shopping.CheckoutAction"
name="checkoutForm"
scope="request"
validate="false">
<forward name="success" path="/shoppingcart.jsp"/>
</action>
--- snip: from struts-config.xml file ----
Hopes this helps...
Source code from my chapter example can be downloaded from:
http://www.newparticles.com/struts
There is a new version being placed on the site that is based on the CVS
snapshot from December. It's in the read me. I will be updating this in
the next month or so to be current with CVS.
Thanks,
