Have 2 actions: -PopulateFormAction -ProcessFormAction
When the user clicks to edit the Monitor, invoke, PopulateFormAction. When the user submits invalid data (invoke ProcessFormAction), the request should forward back to the input defined in the struts-config file. All the form data still resides in the request and should therefore be rendered again (without hitting the database). robert > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Mattox [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 11:55 AM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: How to populate a form with data and then have the > DynaValidatorForm validate it afterwards > > > I defined a tile like this: > > <definition name="monitor.urlmonitor.edit.form" > path="/monitors/monitor_urlmonitor_edit_form.jsp" > controllerUrl="/getMonitor.do" > > > </definition> > > Basically my getMonitor action gets the monitor from the database and then > the JSP displays the information in a form so the user can edit > it.
