My angle on this is to only load the data from the database when the user is submitted a request to "read" data. If they are submitting an "update" action, I don't load the data from the database. -----Original Message----- From: Matt E [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2003 12:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Form Bean Help?
Hello All, I'm running into a little problem, maybe someone can help me fix it. My application is driven by filling out web forms. At one point, A user can click the "Save Form" button, which writes the form information to a Database. When the user visits the page again, the action builds a DTO that contains all the information they had filled out and puts it in the session scope, then forwards to the JSP page that has the form on it. I had been using the value property of the struts-html tags to fill in the data, but I've noticed that when the user hits submit, if there is a validation error, they are pushed back to the page, and the data they had enetered is replaced with what was in the DTO (which is now old data). I've also run into the problem of filling in things like radio buttons, based on what was in the DTO. It seems to me that what I want to do is not pass along the DTO with the action, but fill out parts of the Form Bean before forwarding to the page that displays it, at which point I could remove the value properties of the html tags, and have everything work. My question is, how can I do this from the action? Or do I want to attack this problem in another way? Thanks! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
