When creating a multipage validating form wizard, it can often be inconvient if the user makes an error on the 6th page and is taken all the way to page 1 to notify the user of the error. This happens because the input attribute on an action-mapping can only be a single page. The following would be an idea to get around this:
Make it a standard that pages in a multipage form have a forward name using "input" as the prefix and the page number as a suffix. Then, if the page attribute is being used and a validation fails, the user is returned to the "input" + getPage() rather than the mapping.getInput(). This will take the user back to the 6th page rather than all the way to the beginning in the above example. Thoughts? Dan p.s. I am definitely going to implement something homegrown for the time being. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Daniel Allen, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mojavelinux.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "If you are going to play the game of trial and error, don't be surprised when the results are revealing. -- me" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
