RE: form bean population confusion
Thanks for the reply.
1. Looks like I got into the problem, because of 3 pages.
I have defined action mappings as:
action1 ==> no ActionForm
action2 ==> takes a DynaValidatorForm (form1) for all the user data u
received in jsp1
action3 ==> called when jsp2 submission and displays jsp3
2. Is it correct to take the form name for the action3 as "form2".
Action1 is invoked ==> there is no form attached to it. it's fine.
Action2 is invoked ==> form1 is populated with input data for search at RUN
TIME (seen in debug in mode action class). But when coming on page2 display,
it is empty.
In jsp2, I used
<html:form action="/action 3">
<html:text property="lastName">
.....
</html:form>,
3. I didn't specify name attribute in <hml:text> and <html:form>tags. Does
this cause any problem?
I saw page2 view source as:
<form name="form2" method="post" action="/contextRoot/action3.do">
<input type="text" name="lastName" value="">
<input type="text" name="firstName" value="">
<input type="text" name="address" value="">
<input type="text" name="zip" value="">
</form>

RE: form bean population confusion
Posted by croffman rhenv <my...@hotmail.com>.
This approach I 've implemented with a sample of 3 pages, worked great. But
after getting into this problem, things have changed a little bit and design
team concluded to have one form bean for multiple pages, which in turn not
got into the problem again.
Your inputs were helpful. Thank You.

Before forwarding the request to jsp2 in action2, u need to
set the data either in session or in request as an attribute.
In the form of some bean.
Then use following in jsp2
<html:form action="/action 3" >
<html:text property="lastName" name="beanName" />
....
</html:form>
where "beanName" is the name by which u have set the attribute in
session or in request.
