Re: initializing properties for Actions

[Frank Maritato]

Carl,

That didn't work, but thanks anyway. I also tried changing the data type for 
passwordDisabled to a String and have the normal get/set methods but that didn't 
seem to change the outcome either.

I think the real problem is that it is trying to call setPasswordDisabled on
org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping instead of my LoginAction class. Not sure 
if this is a known "you can't do that" or a known bug or whatever (I'm using 
struts 1.1.0). I was unable to find any info on this topic either in the 
archives or on jakarta.apache.org.

I'm not sure that this will solve your pb, but I think you should use

public boolean isPasswordDisabled() {
     return passwordDisabled;
}
instead of getPasswordDisabled.

Hi,

I'm trying to pass some initialization parameters to an Action and I'm 
having some trouble. What I want is to be able to tell my LoginAction 
not to validate passwords for development systems. Here is what I have 
right now followed by the error I get on startup:

struts-config.xml:
<action
  path="/login"
  type="action.LoginAction"
  scope="request"
  name="loginForm"
  validate="false"
  input="/login/login.jsp"
  >
  <set-property property="passwordDisabled" value="true" />
</action>
LoginAction.java:
  public boolean passwordDisabled = false;
  public boolean getPasswordDisabled() {
    return passwordDisabled;
  }
  public void setPasswordDisabled(boolean aValue) {
    passwordDisabled = aValue;
  }
error log:

It looks like it is trying to set the passwordDisabled property in the 
ActionMapping class instead of the LoginAction class. wtf? I can't 
find any examples anywhere that set parameters on actions, but 
according to the dtd, it is valid. Any help is appreciated.
