RE: Struts text field 'value' attribute set from another ActionForm?

[Ben Anderson]

if you use the struts-el tag libraries you can try this:
<html-el:text name="someForm" property="someProperty" 
value="${otherForm.map.yourProp"/>

I've heard that it's best to avoid putting scriptlet/java code in my jsp 
pages.
It is, but you're specific problem isn't pertaining to scriptlet vs. 
non-scriplet.  That is solved with expression language.

It'd probably be easier if you combined these 2 forms.  Remember, you don't 
need to have different forms for every page.  You can even have one big form 
for the entire application.

Subject: Struts text field 'value' attribute set from another ActionForm?
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2004 09:54:56 -0500
I have a web form such as:

<strutshtml:form action="/someAction" enctype="multipart/form-data">
   <strutshtml:text name="someForm" property="someProperty" size="10" 
value="???"/>
</strutshtml:form>

How can I set a default value for the text field, where the value I want is 
in a different session scoped ActionForm than the one named in the 
<strutshtml:text> tag? The only way I've been able to do it is saving a 
value as a session attribute and retrieving it with a scriptlet, like this:

   <strutshtml:text name="someForm" property="someProperty" size="10" 
value="<%= (String)session.getAttribute("sessionAttributeValue") %>"/>

This approach works, but should I need to use a scriptlet and 
sessionAttributes to do this? I've heard that it's best to avoid putting 
scriptlet/java code in my jsp pages. What I'd like to do is reference the 
value in the existing session scoped ActionForm, such as:

   <strutshtml:text name="someForm" property="someProperty" size="10" 
value=otherSessionScopedForm.someProperty/>

Can something like this be done?
