having read the tip about ImageButtonBean, i decided to give it a go
with one of my forms. i added the relevant properties and accessor
methods to my form [actually to a superclass of my form] (shown below)
and changed the properties of each button in the associated jsp (i'm
using several <html:image> elements) to "cancel", "ok", and "reset".
when i click any of the buttons, even tho "ok.x=24" and "ok.y=15" are
being passed as request parameters, the form population is failing to
set the associated attributes on the various ImageButtonBean objects.
below i've included relevant trace data.
i certainly wasn't expecting to see "Target bean = false". i waded
through the BeanUtils source code, but i got lost in the
PropertyDescriptor mess. anyway, i'm betting i got something simple
wrong in the struts layer.
i thought there might have been an introspection problem since the form
bean that's instantiated by struts is actually a subclass of SpiderForm,
but i copied and pasted the attributes and methods into the subclass and
got the same result- no go.
any ideas where i might have flubbed? thanks!
