With struts,when using a Form, I'd like to be able to have the form "pre-load" records prior to the form being displayed. Actually, more than just that, I'd like to have a form that can be entered in 3 different possible states:
- Insert state (in which case the form is empty) - Edit/View state (in which I "preload" the rows from the database) - Delete state (in which I "preload" the row from the database but have the fields disabled). The validation() method is great because it contains a reference to the request object but I notice there is no "init()" or "preload()" method that comes with the form that I could "check/set a state and pre-load a row from the database" so that my getters would know to use the record. By writting a constructor for the the form, I don't have access to the request object. How can this be done? Is there a way to force the struts framework to call a method on my form object (to load/initialize values) prior to the form being displayed? thanks, Theron -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
