Hi,
Its a good idea to use just form.getAttribute than use request.getparameter..I think 
that is major advantage with struts...You should no longer be using this syntax.The 
form should be a complete container as far as actions are concerned.The advantage is 
that just by looking at the form you should know what all data is required if the form 
is properly documents.That is one of the reasons I do not like using 
request.getParameter as it sort of smells of the magic key approach,there .

But I don't think you can remove parameters from the request as there is no such 
method there..Nor you can add parameters to a request.
the only thing I can think of is to do a code review and include it in the coding 
guidelines.


HTH.

Shirish

Subject: Mandatory use of form rather than request object


Hello All,

I did some code reviews recently for my project being done on struts.

I found that most people still do a request.getAttribute("NAME") kind of
code even when the name is a property of the form object and is available in
the form object.

My question is should the use of form be mandatory. If yes, how it can be
enforced. Is there quick way I can remove all the params/attributes from the
request object once the corresponding values have been set in the form
object?

Thanks in advance for your advise.

Regards,
Abhishek.
