Hello friends I have an EditStudent.jsp page in which I have a form. Before the form tag I get a request attribute called 'listIndex'. But, when my validate() method fails on field validation it returns back to the above mentioned jsp page with an appropriate message. That is o.k. - the problem is that this causes the removal of the request attribute that was originally set by the EditStudentAction.
So what I do now in the jsp page is something like this: <% int listIndex = 0; If (request.getAttribute("index") != null){ listIndex = request.getAttribute("index"); }else{ If (request.getParameter("myIndex") != null){ listIndex = request.getParameter("myIndex"); } %> And then under the <html:form> I have an hidden input like: <INPUT type="hidden" name="myIndex" value=<% =listIndex%> When the validate{} fails the - getParameter("myIndex") - enables me to restore my request attribute via the hidden parameter. Do you know a nicer way to do it?
