RE: Extending Action Mapping

[Benedict, Paul C]

If your setter (for setIgnore?) does not have the same type as its getter,
it is probably ignored. The JavaBean spec is really strict with its
requirement for properties.

By the way, "LaserActionMapping" is the coolest action classname I've ever
seen. If there was an award for these things, I think you would win :o)

Subject: Extending Action Mapping


Hi all, I am trying to extend the ActionMapping Class with my own,
LaserActionMapping.  I have a List that I want to populate with
MessageResource keys,.  I have the configuration below, and my class. 
The setter is never being called, does anyone have any suggestions?




<action path="/otherparties"
type="com.llic.web.action.OtherPartiesAction" parameter="method"
input="newBusiness/OtherPartiesTab.jsp" name="otherPartiesForm"
scope="request" validate="true"
                className="com.llic.web.action.LaserActionMapping" >
                        <set-property property="ignore"
value="annuity.button.next"/>
                        <set-property property="ignore"
value="annuity.button.previous"/>
                        <set-property property="ignore"
value="annuity.defaultmethod"/>
                        <set-property property="ignore"
value="annuity.reloadmethod"/>
                        
                        <forward name="load"
path="newBusiness/OtherPartiesTab.jsp"/>
                        <forward name="next"
path="newBusiness/OtherPartiesTab.jsp"/>
                        <forward name="addnewparty"
path="newBusiness/OtherPartiesTab.jsp"/>
                        <forward name="removeparty"
path="newBusiness/OtherPartiesTab.jsp"/>
                        <forward name="updatechanges"
path="newBusiness/OtherPartiesTab.jsp"/>
                        <forward name="loadParty"
path="newBusiness/OtherPartiesTab.jsp"/>
                        
                </action>
