Hi, Allen... I have a similar question: when you say create the action form and put it into request scope... I suppose you refer to the same ActionForm that will be used when, say, saving that prepopulated form again (the changes you've made). Right? Then, what I'm not really sure is this: should I put that object with any key I want, use an specific key or do I have to use a particular Class / Method for doing so?
Thanx, Freddy. -----Mensaje original----- De: Fogleson, Allen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: lunes, 04 de octubre de 2004 22:13 Para: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Asunto: RE: input form Anna, What I would do is start with an action (lets call it PopulateCreateAction) that gets the collection from the DB, creates a new ActionForm and populates that action form with the collections. I would place that in the request scope and then do a standard action forward to the create.jsp. You should then come into create.jsp with the form prefilled and everything works normally from there. :) Al -----Original Message----- From: Anna Kerekes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 3:58 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: input form Hello, I have a jsp (create.jsp), a form-bean (CreateMessageForm.java), and an action (CreateMessageAction.java). Currently, the user inputs their info into create.jsp, hits 'submit', and the action gets the info from the form-bean and does stuff with it. Instead, I would like to get some information( collections) from a database and populate "create.jsp" with them. So I would like to: - get a collection from the database - put this collection into the request - populate create.jsp from the request object - let the user edit the form (including the pre-populated parts) - hit submit - CreateMessageAction gets info from form-bean and does stuff... Do I have to write a separate Action class for putting the collection (from database) into the request object? Or can I somehow incorporate this into my current CreateMessageAction class ? please help, Anna Kerekes --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
