I'm running into some problems trying to get my struts forms to behave as I
would like them to via actions for passing data around for a common task
we'll be using for different data-sets. Let me explain.
I have a form that contains 3 collections where-in each collection is
dependant upon the prior collection's selections:
Collection #1 - Catalogs To Search
Collection #2 - Major Categories To Search based on Catalogs Selected
Collection #3 - SubCategories to Search based on Major Categories Selected
Now, the concept here is that when the user selects a choose button in this
form for collection #1, a popup window opens where a query is executed to
retreive the available list of catalogs.
What has to be passed to this popup window is:
- Current form's selections in collection #1 (catalogs)
- A filter clause
This popup would execute an action that calls a function to retreive the
resultset filtered by the filter clause. This action would also set the
request-scope form's selectedItems string array to those set in the
calling form and then forward to my jsp where the user can uncheck any
prior selections, clear all selections, etc.
Once they're done, they'll hit the return button which passes the form
data to a final action that examines the selected values and passes the
selection ids back to the original form and closes the popup window.
The popup window uses a custom form which extends ActionForm like the
following:
public final class CheckBoxLVBForm extends ActionForm
{
private String filter;
private String[] selectedItems;
private LabelValueBean items;
...
}
If you need more details, please ask but I have a deadline by Monday and this
is the "core" part of how this application is to function. If there is a much
simpler approach, please let me know ... whatever works at this point is what
is needed. Functional is key here :-/
Thanks in advance!
Chris
