RE: changing "action" for a form dynamically

[Andrew Hill <an...@gridnode.com>]

This has nothing to do with the action attribute per se, but rather the sad
fact that you cannot 'nest' jsp tags in that manner.

You will need to use an ugly scriptlet in place of that nice clean
bean:write tag to render the attribute value to the page.

Subject: changing "action" for a form dynamically


Hi,


how can i cange the "action" attrbute of the html:form tag
dynamically, so that the path that to which the form will be submitted
changes everytime the JSP is brought up

if i do something like this in my action class


if (((ReviewTeamForm)form).getCommand()!=null)
  request.setAttribute("performAction", "/reviewTeam");
 else
  request.setAttribute("performAction", "/editReviewTeam");

then in the jsp i do
<html:form name="someform" type =
"com.sasken.erp.sdlc.action.ReviewTeamForm" action ="<bean:write
name='performAction' />" >

this does not work

any help help willbe appreciated

It's been added to contrib (but not committed yet that I can tell).  You 
can find it as an attachment to bug ... Well, I'll quote David :-) :

You'll have to rename it to struts-el.tar.gz.  Bugzilla will want to 
name it as a CGI file.

I keep seeing references to this struts-el in the list.
While Im not using JSPs myself I wouldnt mind taking a look at what features
it provides.
Where does one get it from?

Or use the newly-contributed struts-el taglib.  You can get rid of the
RTE (what I think Andrew was calling a scriplet) and use an
EL-expression to refer to the name of your form once you're using struts-el.
