Re: Attributes Initialization

Thu, 06 Jan 2005 16:41:53 -0800

1. From what I see here you redirect from index.jsp to submit.do.
2. The submit.do action is defined to have validation.
3.*My guess* is that validation fails, and you are returned to your input page (input="submit.jsp") and the execute method is *not* executed
4. You submit a form from submit.jsp to submit.do, validation succeeds, execute() executes normally

To fix this you would need a new action which has validation turned off (if i remember correctly, unless there is some other way to do it)
eg

        <action path="/submit" 
                type="segev.SubmitAction" 
                input="/submit.jsp" 
                name="submitForm"
                scope="request" 
                validate="true">
        <forward name="success" path="/submit.jsp"/>
        <forward name="failure" path="/submit.jsp"/>
       </action>
and

        <action path="/submitInit" 
                type="segev.SubmitAction" 
                name="submitForm"
                scope="request">
        <forward name="success" path="/submit.jsp"/>
        <forward name="failure" path="/submit.jsp"/>
       </action>
index.jsp should change to
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-logic" prefix="logic" %>
<logic:redirect forward="submitInit"/>

Wendy,
 
I know that the method is not executed, because I put a 'print' statement as the first line in the method.  The 'print' statement does not appear initially in Tomcat.  It does appear only after submitting the form.
 
I also added a no-arg constructor for the action class.  It is used only after a form has been submitted.

index.jsp redirect to 'submit', which is defined as a global forward as
    
'submit.do'.

If you're redirecting to submit.do, given the configuration you've posted,
SubmitAction should be executing.

What do you have in execute()? Why do you think it _isn't_ executing? The
thing is... typically, the execute method does whatever it needs to do, then
calls mapping.getInputForward(). If execute isn't executing, how are you
ever getting to your form?

Here's a guess: in SubmitAction.execute(), you're putting things in the
request, then *redirecting* to your form. If so, the browser will make a
new request for the redirect, and the things you put in the original one
will be lost.

I'd have to see SubmitAction.java and whether there is anything interesting
in the log files in order to offer any further guesses.

  
I can define it as 'submit.jsp', but there is no difference in behavior.
    

No, that's definitely not going to fix it. Everything needs to go through
an action, which you seem to be doing.
