Hi Stuart. I noticed a couple of things in your code samples:
*Is there any info in Turbine.log?
*Have you by any chance implemented org.apache.turbine.om.Retrievable in
your target object? This is an easy thing to miss and will keep Intake from
initializing.
*I think you should have mapToObject="Customer" instead of
mapToObject="customer" in your intake.xml group declaration. Java cares
about capitalization, and Customer is not the same class as customer.
(These last two should make the #set ($customerGroup =
$intake.Customerentry.mapTo($customer)) work anyways)
*In your action class, you call group.getProperties(customer). I think that
you actually want group.setProperties(customer). If you read the JavaDoc
for org.apache.turbine.services.intake.model.Group, it indicates that
getProperties populates the form field from the object, while
setProperties() sets the object properties from the form field. And you
want to populate the object in the action, not the form field.
*Your action contains the line:
Group group = intake.get("Group", IntakeTool.DEFAULT_KEY);
which should be:
Group group = intake.get("Customerentry", IntakeTool.DEFAULT_KEY);
*One last thing, I have never been successful with the .Default syntax.
Instead, I set the querykey to something like "new", and put the query key
in a hidden form field which is picked up in the action class and used in
intake.get("groupname",querykey).
I just created a Common Intake Problems page in the wiki. Please add to it
as you get your instance working!
Good luck,
Chris
