Hi,
Our prepopulation works like this.
protected void prepopulate( HttpServletRequest request, String name
){
ReportForm form = null;
form = ( ReportForm )request.getSession().getAttribute(
"reportForm" );
if( form == null) {
form = new ReportForm();
setSelectedOptions( request, name, form );
request.getSession().setAttribute( "reportForm", form );
} else {
setSelectedOptions( request, name, form );
}
}
/* Should be actually some type of direct copy or something */
protected void setSelectedOptions( HttpServletRequest request,
String name,
ReportForm form ){
LabelValueBean bean =
( LabelValueBean )((( ArrayList )request.getSession().
getAttribute( name )).get( 0 ));
ArrayList preselectedFilter = new ArrayList();
preselectedFilter.add( bean.getValue() );
logger_.debug( "Setting the first value as [" + bean.getValue()
+
"," +
bean.getLabel() + "] for " + name );
if ( "applicationOptions".equals( name ) ) {
form.setApplications( ( String[] )
preselectedFilter.toArray( new String[0] ) );
}
else if ( "departmentOptions".equals( name ) ) {
form.setDepartments( ( String[] )
preselectedFilter.toArray( new String[0] ) );
}
else if ( "divisionOptions".equals( name ) ) {
form.setDivisions( ( String[] )
preselectedFilter.toArray( new String[0] ) );
}
}

Subject: prepopulate a form with values
Can I instantiate a form, populate it with values and then place it in
request scope and have my jsp use that form to use those values as the
default. ie if I have a Collection that I am displaying with an <options>
tag can I populate the form with the value that should be selected, place
the form on the request and have the tag select the appropriate option?
thanks in advance
Matt
