Andy,
Following what you want to do. This may not be exact as I don't use a
dispatcher, I don't think.
jsp with edit button (In our case, we use a link with image (user.jsp).
<html:link
action="/user/preUpdateUser?userID=${userForm.userID}"><html:img
pageKey="images.updateIcon" border="0"/></html:link>
dispatcher? (struts-user-config.xml)
<action path="/user/preUpdateUser"
type="*scs.reaction.struts.user.actions.user.PreUpdateUserAction*"
name="userForm"
input="/user/preUpdateUser"
scope="request"
validate="false"
>
<forward name="success"
path="/user/user/preUpdateUser.jsp"/>
</action>
loadObject
scs.reaction.struts.user.actions.user.PreUpdateUserAction
editObject
/user/user/preUpdateUser.jsp
In jsp
<html:form action="/user/updateUser" method="post">
store in db
<action path="/user/updateUser"
type="scs.reaction.struts.user.actions.user.UpdateUserAction"
name="userForm"
input="/user/preUpdateUser"
scope="request"
validate="true"
>
<forward name="closeWindow"
path="/user/user/updateUser.jsp"/>
<forward name="retry" path="/user/user/preUpdateUser.jsp"/>
<forward name="success" path="/user/searchForUser"
redirect="yes"/>
</action>
re-display updatedObject
/user/user/updateUser.jsp

Hi Eric,
your point 2. in my application is a button on a previous page (i have
several buttons)
The button is evaluated by an EventActionDispatcher and the according
execute() forwards
to the action to fill the bean.
public ActionForward editObject(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception {
return mapping.findForward("loadObject");
}
the loadObject action loads data from database and forwards to
'displayObject' action with jsp to
show the object. But i found now way to configure struts-config for
'loadObject'
jsp page -> button 'edit' pressed -> dispatcher -> editObject() -> ok up to
this step
-> forward to 'loadObject' how to do this?????
-> forward to jsp page to display object is ok and works
I hope my problem is clear now.
I can not understand why no sample with this daily problem exists, every
application needs it.
Regards, Andy

I'm not sure I understand what's wrong with this:
1. The load object from database is in the action's execute.
<action path="/prepareProfileEditScreen"
type="struts.actions.prepareProfileAction"
name="struts.forms.profileFormBean">
<forward name="success" path="profileEdit.jsp"/>
</action>
2. The menu choice is: Edit My Profile (for example), which invokes the
action from #1
public ActionForward execute( <signature> ) throws ...
{
String userId = request.getParameter("userId");
UserProfile up = service.getProfile( userId );
BeanUtils.copyProperties( form, up );
return "success";
}
3. The user ends up on the profileEdit.jsp page with the data filled into
the form bean.

how can i forward to an action without input (jsp) ?
I'm not sure what you're asking. What do you want the user to be able to
do?
In general, any URL that maps to an Action will execute the action,
whether or not there is any 'input' (request parameters from the form
having been submitted, or in the URL itself.)

Hi Wendy,
i have an action 'load object from database', on execute() the form bean
is filled with values from database. On success i want to forward to the
jsp
to
display the object. The user can change the values and submit the jsp, the
according 'save action' stores the changed object to database. This is the
typicall way to populate and fill a form bean before the according jsp is
shown.
But i don't find a way to forward to my 'load object from database' action
because
this action has no input (no jsp) and the forward attribute of <action>
wants
a jsp. What i need is <forward name='success' action='load object from
data'>
instead of <forward name='success' path=/xyz.jsp>
Regards Andy
