Hi Matt,

I was finally able to get this to work. It took a while for me to realize the hard coded forwards in BaseAction. this was after I created a new action class just for the lookup. once that was working I decided to try and add the functionality to the original action. so. to doit, I turned on QBE in the DAO. added a new forward to BaseAction called lkup. created a lkupInventoryType.jsp based on the edit and leaving only the lookup fields and added a lkup and find method to the Action and a
Lookup button to the list.

I guess it would be nice to have search functionality built in during appgen. however, once you get past the "real newbie" stage it's not that hard to do. :)

Thanx a bunch
Fred

I don't believe there's a tutorial. However, with the code in the DAO,
it shouldn't be too difficult. Just populate the object in your
Controller (from your form) and then pass it down to your DAO layer.
Worst case, you can just use request.getParameter() to populate your
object manually. Getting it working is the most important, making it
clean is secondary IMO. ;-)

Sorry about that.

I guess the question is this.
is there a write up on how to implement the Query By Example. i.e. front
ending the list with a search form and have the DaoHibernate class use
the QBE API using the criteria specified on the search form.

Thanx
Fred
