Couldn't retrieve value from Struts bean

["Choon Chern, Lim" <me...@rocketmail.com>]

Hello,

I'm currently using Struts and Velocity, where the vm
file gets the Struts ActionForm to populate the form
fields.

I have a macro as below:-

#macro( datetime $var )
	<input type="text" name="${var}Date"
value="$form.bean.${var}Date" /> 
#end

I made a call in my HTML as below:-

#datetime(visit)

The associated form bean for this page contains a
String field called "visitDate".

When the macro resolves, I'm seeing this:-

<input type="text" name="visitDate"
value="org.meteoric.FrmVisit@32f76519.visitDate" />

It doesn't resolve the value part.

So, I tried hardcoding it this way to test:-

<input type="text" name="visitDate"
value="$form.bean.visitDate" /> 

... and it retrieves the date from the bean and
display properly in the value property.

How do I fix my macro to achieve my desired result?

Thanks.

Mike

You can't construct a reference like that.  Try

#macro( datetime $var $ref)
       <input type="text" name="$var" value="$ref" />
#end

with a call

#datetime("visitDate" $form.bean.visitDate )
