Struts validating with beta2 not working

["Kwabla, Bens" <BK...@brockhaus-ag.de>]

Hi All!

I had the client-side validation working under struts version before the
beta 2. Now my application has been migrated to the beta 2 of struts. Since
then, my client-side validation is no longer working. I understand the
validating logic has been adopted into commons. Can some tell me what is
happening?

Betreff: RE: Re: OptionsCollection


Hi,
There are many ways of doing this.So first is as the collection is being 
displayed on screen,make it an attribute of form and popolate it in action
on 
form.So in jsp u will access like a form attribute.

But the problem with this approach is If u get an error and forward back the

user to same jsp, u loose the collection data as u are directly going to the

screen.So the solution could be have a generic action which will be called
in 
case of errors and the action will populate form with list before forwarding
it 
to same jsp.

Else U can have lazy in itialising forms.i.e forms getList emthod itself
will 
call service to get data if list is null.And then in this case ,u can just
use 
an epty action class which does nothing but forwarsd to "success" which is
the 
origicnal jsp.But this action will be mapped with the Original actions form
so 
that the form will use its auto population mechanism to get the list..But i 
dont like this approach ..just not a good design i think.But very
conveninent.


Hope this helps,
Regards,
Shirish

Okay... But a drop down menu is screen data.

And a list of companies is something that will be used more than once.

So I have a normal class in my model layer

ListCompanies

In my UserAction

(ListCompanies).getCompanies();

But this Action's primary job is to return a list of users (which it does).

As the list is screen data i should be defining this in my form bean? This
is something thats being confusing me for weeks. If i've a bunch of
collections how can i make them available to iterate tags and select menus,
without using useBean (sorry silly design constraint, but beyond my
control).

Hopefully I'm just being silly, i could really do with some pointers as
where i'm missing the point.

Cheers mark
