maybe you are right... What I'm trying to do is:
I have some data which I'm displaying on a jsp page. This particular bit of work relates to editing a value being displayed on a table. When I click on the <html:link> i retrieve the row number which I'm trying to edit, pass it to the EditAction class, which then retrieves that row's data from the result set, and sets the attributes (as defined in struts-config.xml) which I want to display. this Action then sets the mapping.findForward to that same page, so that I can then, edit the row. Initially I was doing all the work in the jsp file, but there was a lot of source code in there, so I decided to set some attributes using an Action class and then forwarding to the same page to display those values, ready for editing. This, of course, is also more appropriate, as it's a bad idea to have lots of Java code in the jsp page, and I have generally been keeping the Data access stuff at the back end (in the action classes and the data access classes). Once those values are shown, the user can edit them, and clicking on the OK button triggers another submit, which this time will once again set the attributes (I'm using DynaActionForm as my form) and then the back end updates the result set. All of this worked, until I decided to use attributes to send the data 'the other way'. Does the data only flow one way? I've been experiment with this all day and it does seem to work (well, it does set/retrieve the data correctly), the only problem is avoiding the form being submited on and on... I think I do understand the MVC architecture, what I'm not very good at is Javascript... -----Original Message----- From: Paul McCulloch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 24 February 2004 18:06 To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: ActionForward and onLoad() I'm a bit confused by what you are trying to do. > I have a jsp page which I need to retrieve some values at > onLoad time, i.e.: > <body onload="javascript:getValues();"> If you need to retrieve values then do that in the Action and put them somewhere (e.g. a request scope attribute) so that you can access them in your jsp. It *sounds* like you could do with reading up on the basics of MVC in a web environment..
