Dynamic value for html:form action attribute

[Bailey, Shane C.]

 

So what was the outcome of the discussion which pertained to having

 

<html:form action="<%=someStrVar%>" >

 

I can't get the following to work and it would be nice for form reuse. So I
do something like this:

 

add_update_user.jsp:

<tiles:useAttribute name="nextAction" />

<html:form action="<%=nextAction%>" method="post" >

...

</html:form>

 

 

tiles-def.xml:

  <definition name="doc.addUser" extends="doc.reusableBody">

              <put name="title"  value="ABC UM - Add New User" />

              <put name="module"  value="User Management" />

              <put name="submodule"  value="Add New User" />

              <put name="menu"   value="/WEB-INF/view/usermgmt/menu.jsp" />

              <put name="body"
value="/WEB-INF/view/usermgmt/add_update_user.jsp" />

              <put name="nextAction"   value="/addUser" />

  </definition>

 

  <definition name="doc.updateUser" extends="doc.reusableBody">

              <put name="title"  value="ABC UM - Update User" />

              <put name="module"  value="User Management" />

              <put name="submodule"  value="Update User" />

              <put name="menu"   value="/WEB-INF/view/usermgmt/menu.jsp" />

              <put name="body"
value="/WEB-INF/view/usermgmt/add_update_user.jsp" />

              <put name="nextAction"   value="/updateUser" />

  </definition>
