RE: prepopulating jsp page

Again doing this I think will throw a class cast exception.

localvariable = (CreateClientForm)form

I already have the form beans elements in my config.xml

In your struts-config.xml, add a
<form-beans> section
    <form-bean name="createClientForm
type="com.medina.web.forms.CreateClientForm" />
</form-beans>

Then in your action,
if (form != null)
{
   localvariable = (CreateClientForm)form
}
now you can build your form bean properties as localvariable.set metods.

Subject: prepopulating jsp page


Hi,

I am trying to pre-populate my JSP page with the values returned from
the database when a user edits a client. I have just recently upgraded
to Struts download 1.2.4.

This is what I did before which worked:

In my action class I created the form  then populated it with the values
from the DB.

CreateClientForm updateForm = new CreateClientForm();


My struts config sent the response to the jsp page where I displayed the
values as follows

<html:form action="/updateClient"
  name="createClientForm"
  type="com.medina.web.forms.CreateClientForm">

However in this new download the html tag library does not have a tag
for name.  Thus I cannot add the name tag to the html:form tag.

So my jsp now looks ike this:

<html:form action="/updateClient">

and my struts config.xml :

<action path="/updateClient"
        type="com.medina.web.action.UpdateClientAction"
        name="createClientForm"
        scope="session"
        parameter="update"
        input="/editClient.jsp">
        <forward name="failure" path="/jsp/failure.jsp"/>
        <forward name="success" path="/jsp/success.jsp"/>
    </action>

Can anyone please advise what I need to do to get these values into the
jsp page as it appears empty.  How do I get around this name tag?

Thanks
