RE RE: Action BEFORE a page is constructed?

[Peter Spießbach <p_...@gmx.de>]

Hello,
I did not get it.

Rather than directly forwarding to /order I now forward to /prepareorder. Is
this right?
However, it looks that I still have an error, because the forwarding from
one action
to another does not work - and even give any helping error message:

After the jsp in action tag 1 is submitting its control to the action
defined in 
action tag one it should call the action in action tag 2. But nothing
happens.
Can you help me?

1       <action  path="/SperrenIntro" 
                 name="SperrenIntroForm"
                
type="de.bankverlag.www.kivi.control.action.SperrenIntroAction"
                 scope="request"
                 input="/SperrenIntro.jsp"
                 validate="false">
            <forward  name="ok"     
path="/SperrenFirstLevelSupportSuchkriterienPre"/>
        </action>

2       <action  path="/SperrenFirstLevelSupportSuchkriterienPre" 
                
type="de.bankverlag.www.kivi.control.action.SperrenFirstLevelSupportSuchkriterienPreAction">
		 <forward  name="success"      
path="/SperrenFirstLevelSupportSuchkriterien.jsp"/>
        </action>

3        <action  path="/SperrenFirstLevelSupportSuchkriterien" 
                 name="SperrenFirstLevelSupportSuchkriterienForm"
                
type="de.bankverlag.www.kivi.control.action.SperrenFirstLevelSupportSuchkriterienAction"
                 scope="request"
                 input="/SperrenFirstLevelSupportSuchkriterien.jsp"
                 validate="true">
            <forward  name="ok"      
path="/SperrenFirstLevelSupportTrefferliste.jsp"/>
        </action>

previous message for history

<action path="/prepareorder" type="sandwich.web.order.PrepareOrderAction">
                <forward  name="success" path="/order.jsp"/>
</action>

If you want to do some preparations before you create the form  you can make
a new actionclass without a form class.

<action path="/prepareorder" type="sandwich.web.order.PrepareOrderAction">
                <forward  name="success" path="/order.jsp"/>
</action>

Now when you want to call you new screen you first call this action wich is
not linked to a form, when this action succeeds, you can call you jsp page,
wich has a form in it.  To fill this form you make an instance of this forms
form class and fill it using the set methods.  After this you put this form
into the session scope.  Like this
request.getSession().setAttribute("orderForm",orderForm);

Now you form will be filled in when it is shown on the screen.
