I'm not really sure how to design this, so I'm just playing around. And now I've broken it.
What I need: ContactForm/contact.jsp has a text field, user types in a a name ResolveNameAction talks to the database, gets a list of names resolution.jsp presents the names-- as an html form w/ radio buttons & submit button [Then I have to get back, but that's another thread.] I started with ResolveNameAction forwarding to resolution.jsp which had a normal html form tag: <form action="/dev/editContact.do"> Then I thought, "Hey! I'm using Struts! This should be <html:form>!" Which didn't work until I made a ResolutionForm to go with it. And now I've got a problem since unless I make the form in resolution.jsp have action="/resolveName", the form can't find its "form bean". I don't think I *need* a ResolutionForm bean. This is not a form with validation, it just needs to be there so the user can pick one [or none] of the names. So is it verboten to have plain-old html forms in a Struts app? -- Wendy Smoak Applications Systems Analyst, Sr. Arizona State University PA Information Resources Management
