If I write in my jsp page <bean:write name="sourceDate"/> the correct
string
is shown in the HTML output. So I'm sure that the value for sourceDate is
correctly handed over to the jsp page.
Is there a way to easily fix this?
The property in an html:text tag is expecting a sourceDate property in
whatever type of ActionForm you're using, not a scoped attribute.
So this means instead of:
request.setAttribute("sourceDate", srcDate);
I should use:
MyForm myForm = (MyForm) form; // ActionForm form in the constructor
myForm.setSourceDate(srcDate);
Yes, exactly.
But I guess that I have to tell the jsp page about the form in the
struts-config.xml. At the moment the relevant parts in the struts-config
look as follows:
<form-bean name="docForm" type="org.contineo.forms.DocForm"/>
...
<action path="/EditDoc"
type="org.contineo.actions.documan.document.EditDocAction">
<forward name="editdoc"
path="/pages/editDoc.jsp"
redirect="false"/>
...
<action input="/EditDoc.do"
name="docForm"
path="/ChangeDoc"
type="org.contineo.actions.documan.document.ChangeDocAction"
validate="false"/>
The second step already works, I can access the form content in
ChangeDocAction.
Assuming editDoc.jsp contains an html:form tag which submits to
/EditDoc, you don't need any additional configuration to use the form in
editDoc.jsp. The html:form tag will automatically create a scripting
variable 'docForm'.
However, to pre-populate the form bean in EditDocAction, you do need the
extra configuration: you need to tell Struts to provide the form bean to
the action. To do that, just add 'name="docForm"' in the /EditDoc
mapping, just as you did for the /ChangeDoc mapping.
You can then use the code you wrote above to initialise the form.
