Hello All, I thought I would be slick an attempt to cache the Collections used to populate my forms drop down list boxes instead of hitting the database every time (The values may change daily).
The problem is that the inherited "servlet" variable and the "getServlet" method only return a reference to the ActionServlet when calling the "reset" and "validate" methods. (The same holds true for the action classes. A valid ActionServlet instance is only returned when performing the action). All other times, these references are null. Is there another way of getting a ServletContext reference in the ActionForm class? Could anyone suggest some strategies for caching the collections used for generating drop down list boxes? Regards, Joshua This is what I found... ------------------------------------------------ Creating TestForm..... servlet member variable is NULL getServlet() is NULL >>>CALLING RESET!! servlet member variable is OK getServlet() is OK >>>CALLING VALIDATE!! servlet member variable is OK getServlet() is OK Creating TestAction servlet member variable is NULL getServlet() is NULL Performing TestAction... servlet member variable is OK getServlet() is OK This communication, including attachments, is for the exclusive use of addressee and may contain proprietary, confidential or privileged information.
