when i submit my form to the action, the action maps my form to a DynaActionForm and binds the values.
now, along with my form, i actually do submit something called PID (page id) which is the current page at time of submission. therefore, my dyna form will have the page id for which i need to load navigational information. however, because I am forced to use a tile definition or JSP in the input parameter of the action for when the validation fails, i am unable to load page attributes for that pid from my backend navigation system and this is breaking my view. now you might say that all i need to do is load the page attributes from the jsp because it will be in the dyna form when i get to the view after failure, but now we are talking about breaking the whole point of MVC as i would need to call my backend. can anybody see what i am getting at here? > -----Original Message----- > From: Adrian Kaminski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 17 September 2004 13:33 > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: Re: DynaActionForm and previous request attributes (no answer > found in archives for similar problems) > > > > managing a request attribute in the session by setting it > and then making sure we pop it out at the view is messing and > defies the semantic use of the request scope. > > > > that's why it is bad practice. > > > Don't shoot me if I'm wrong but HTTP is stateless so without any of: > cookie, session, browser politeness (HTTP referer), hidden field with > url, server won't be know where you come from (and in request scope > you will won't have any information where user was before clicking > Submit) ... > > Regards, > Adrian > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > <FONT SIZE=1 FACE="VERDANA,ARIAL" COLOR=BLUE> ------------------------------------------------------- QAS Ltd.
