Re: prepopulate a DynaActionForm

[Adam Hardy]

That's a total hack! You should get a form bean from struts. Works for me.

Theoretically you are going to have the same problem when you submit to 
do a save. If you don't have a form bean, then you won't have any data.

Thanks...

i try to populate the form using PropertyUtils.copyProperties(form, myBean);
but form is null.
dynamic=true is from EasyStruts plgin tool for Eclipse...I remove it and still get a 
null form
no i'm not using validating parameter.
I browsed the list archive and found some tips, there is a wayout 
i'll do :
if (form == null)
{
	form = RequestUtils.createActionForm(...)
}

Have you got any exceptions logged or on the console?

Where did you get the dynamic="true" attribute from? I don't use it, & 
don't need it. What does it do?

Have you got the validating parameter set in web.xml for the action servlet?

<init-param>
       <param-name>validating</param-name>
       <param-value>true</param-value>
     </init-param>
Hope that helps.

Hi,

I am using struts 1.1,
I want to prepopulate a DynaActionForm but my Action receive a null form:
my DynaActionForm configuration looks like :
<form-bean dynamic="true" name="pbxUserForm" 
type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm">
           <form-property name="email" type="java.lang.String" />
           .....
</form-bean>
and the Action config:

          <action
           name="pbxUserForm"
           path="/users/showuser"
           scope="request"
           type="com.webapp.action.PopulateUserAction"
           validate="false">
           <forward name="next" path="/users/user.jsp" />
       </action>
in PopulateUserAction execute method i receive a null form ?

If i use an ActionForm instead of DynaActionForm the form is NOT null ?

Is there some extra setting i need.

Thank you
