Hello,
I have a form, which has an attached bean. I am doing validation, so I have
good data going to my action.
In the action, I take the bean with good data, and hand it to a DTO object
which updates the database with the new user supplied information. What can I
do in the Action if my DTO object returns false (Could not update database
because of some condition). I know I can find a mapping and send it somewhere,
but the user just filled out a large form, and I would like to send them back
to the form, where the data is, and show them a message there. I tried using
the Failure (see below) but when it goes to the newUser.jsp page it is blank.
The data they just entered is not there.
I know how to do this in a ActionForm, but how in an Action?
Here is my action mapping:
<action path="/newUser-submit"
type="com.ddi.dealer.action.admin.CreateNewUserAction"
name="newuserbean"
scope="request"
input="/jsp/admin/newUser.jsp"
validate="true">
<forward name="Success" path="/jsp/admin/mainAdmin.jsp" />
<forward name="Failure" path="/jsp/admin/newUser.jsp" />
</action>
Here is the action piece.
BeanUtils.copyProperties(usersbean, userbo);
boolean recordInsert = userbo.insertNewUser();
if (recordInsert) {
actionforward = mapping.findForward("Failure");
} else {
actionforward = mapping.findForward("Success");
}
return actionforward;
I just would like to be able to return them to their form where they just
entered all the data, and let them try again.
Thanks,
Scott
