Loading data in an Action with XMLForm
Hi all,
I'm trying to make all the forms on
www.superlinksoftware.com/cocoon/samples/bringmethis/ support a "modify"
mode. In order to do that I need to let the user enter his name and
password, submit, and then retrieve the rest of the data and populate it
into the next page's form. I've been trying to do this by putting a
call to getForm().setValue("/street","123 cherry tree lane") in the call
to public Map perform(); but that doesn't seem to be working. Nor does
((UserBean)getForm().getModel()).setStreet("123 cherry tree lane").
So how do I populate data in the next form during the process of the
previous?
Thank you kindly,
-Andy

Sounds like the form is in the Request scope and in your case Session scope
would be more convenient.
Let me know if this helped.
If not, send me the code of your action.
