Can you take the request parameter and populate a hidden form field
with it? Mixing request params with form fields
has caused me grief more than once.

Hello,
I have a jsp (foo.jsp) that displays information about a certain
foo. I have defined a LoadFooAction, that prepares the foo object and
the SubmitFooAction, that is called when I want to change the
appearance of foo in foo.jsp [suppose that foo is a list of bars and
that I want to change the order of bars (by name, by date etc)].
In struts-config.xml I have defined the following:
<action path="/loadFoo" type="LoadFooAction" name="FooForm">
<forward name="success" path="/foo.jsp"/>
</action>
<action path="/submitFoo" type="SubmitFoo" name="FooForm">
<forward name="reload" path="/loadFoo.do" redirect="true"/>
</action>
In order to identify which foo to load, I have added a parameter in
loadFoo, called id, ie
http://my.foo.site/loadFoo.do&id=23
The problem is that when I press submit in foo.jsp, the execute
method in SubmitFooAction redirects the browser to
http://my.foo.site/loadFoo.do, loosing the id parameter from the url.
I can store either foo or "id=23" to session and retrieve them from
there when the id parameter is not present, but what happens when the
session expires and the user presses refresh or if the user decides to
bookmark the page? I end up with a loadFoo.do without any information
about which foo to display.
Has any of you dealt with this problem before? The only thing that I
can think of is to redirect the user to a different (perhaps error)
page when no info is available, but I would really like to be able to
do something better than that.
Thanks in advance,
Antonis
