Using link to populate form bean

[Howard Miller <me...@howardmiller.co.uk>]

Hi,

How doI use a series of links to populate a form bean in Struts?

e.g., in a cgi I could do

<a href="next.cgi?param=1">Option1</a>
<a href="next.cgi?param=2">Option2</a>
<a href="next.cgi?param=3">Option3</a>

and I would just have to get the value of 'param' and that would be 
that. But how do I get the value of param into a form bean, as if I'd 
done it with a form and used radio buttons.

Re: Using link to populate form bean

[Danny Mui <da...@muibros.com>]

formbeans and stuff populate from the request (either using get/posts). 
 using querystrings is simiar to a form get so beanutils.populate() 
looks for a method called setParam(...whatever datatype not too sure...) 
and puts 1, 2, or 3 into it.

So if  the action specified contains a formbean definition, the reset() 
method is called then it is populated with the request parameters, in 
this case param.

hope that helped :)
