ActionForm vs. Value Bean

[Marcus Biel <Ma...@bmw.de>]

If you got Data records from a database -
have they got to be saved in an ActionForm, or in a value bean ???

I guess they have to be saved in a value bean,
because ActionForm just take request parameters.

If so, what about the action mapping ?
name="ValueBean" instead of name="ActionForm" ?

thanks in advance.


cya,

Well, deffinitly not in a Form bean.

The way I do it is to put the value bean in the request scope, and then 
use it from the view.

ie. request.setAttribute("nameConstant",valueBean);

Then the value bean is available to all the JSP tags.

Does this help?
