editing rows

[Balkan Guler <ce...@gmail.com>]

Hello

There are some tables in database and I have to transfer them to the web 
pages.
Also they can be deleted and edited.
I am using Struts.
I populate a list of objects from tables.
And put this list in a formbean
and list them in a web page as below:

<logic:iterate id="omenu" name="operForm" property="operMenus">
<tr>
<td> <bean:write name="omenu" property ="description"/></td>
<td> <bean:write name="omenu" property ="action"/></td>
</tr>
</logic:iterate>
I want to make all rows editable therefore I am thinking of puting a 
button(edit) at the end of all rows and if clicked show all details in text 
boxes in a new popup.

the question is how can I recognize the clicked row and populate them in a 
new window?

or are there any other approaches?

You'll need to include a row ID (preferably the primary key column from the 
database, but anything that uniquely identifies the row is fine) as a 
property in your form bean to use in the URL the 'edit' link submits. If 
your table is already wrapped in a form, you can just add a button (or an 
input of type 'submit') on each row, using the row ID as the request 
parameter value for the button. If not, you can either add a wrapping form, 
add a separate form on each row. Alternatively, use a link instead of a 
button, which will work whether you have forms on the page or not.
