DynaForms and EL (dynabean.map not working)
Hi there.
I have a form that uses org.apache.struts.validator.LazyValidatorForm.
When I pre-populate this form before displaying it, I use code like
the following in the action:
final DynaBean dynaForm = (DynaBean)form;
dynaForm.set("displayName", "test");
In my JSP, I have a <html:text> element that looks like this:
<html:text property="displayName" size="25" />
The value 'test' is populated as expected.
Now I want to change this from a <html:text> to just hard output (via
<c:out>) if some boolean is true:
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${param.function == 'displayEdit'}">
<html:text property="displayName" size="25" />
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<c:out value="${dynabean.map.displayName} />
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
I can't seem to get the <c:out> to render anything using the
dynabean.map.prop value as described in the guide. What am I doing
wrong?
I'm using Struts 1.2.7 on Tomcat 5.5 with JSTL 1.1.2
My includes are:
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html-el.tld" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/c.tld" prefix="c" %>

What name did you use to pass this form from action to jsp?

Figured it out.
dynabean.map.prop
should be
<dynabean>.map.<prop>
Where <dynabean> is the name of your form from struts-config.
You can't actually use 'dynabean'.

I was under the impression that the form bean itself is a 'gimmie' and
does not explicitly need to be set in the request scope (or any other
scope for that matter).
For example, the
<html:text property="displayName" size="25" />
tag works without needing the 'name' property, so somehow the
<html:text> tag knows to look in the form bean in this case. I could
do something like you mention, but this page seems to indicate that I
can use ${dynabean.map.prop}
http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/building_controller.html#dyna_action_form_classes
I even changed it back to org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm just
to make sure it's not a LazyValidatorForm issue, but I still got
nothing. Both implement org.apache.commons.beanutils.DynaBean so it
should work in both cases (I think).

You should try using the name you're using for the form when you pass
it from your action to your JSP.

If you're using request.setAttribute("displayForm", dynaForm); then try
<c:out value="${displayForm.map.displayName} />
