Instantiating and Using DynaValidatorActionForm
I have a case where I need to pre-populate a DynaValidatorActionForm in a
setup action, display the form, the process the users input. I'm using the
following to instantiate the DynaValidatorActionForm:
ModuleConfig mc = (ModuleConfig)
request.getAttribute(Globals.MODULE_KEY);
FormBeanConfig fbc = mc.findFormBeanConfig("UserDetail");
DynaActionFormClass dafc =
DynaActionFormClass.createDynaActionFormClass(fbc);
How to I set the values for the <form-property> fields under the form bean?
I've tried to use BeanUtils.copyProperties, nothing seems to be getting set
(nothing shows up on the JSP). Also, in what scope do I set the
instantiated bean? request or session?
TIA!

Jerry, allow Struts to create the form bean for you, then
all you have to do is populate the form in your setup action.
DynaBean theForm = (DynaBean) form;
theForm.set("someProperty", someValue);
or use BeanUtils.
MyDTO dto = // get DTO
Map description = BeanUtils.describe(dto);
BeanUtils.populate(theForm, description);
Make sure the DTO properties match the form properties.
