Populate Form from DAO
Struts 2 allows us to automatically populate our forms if we name our
fields correctly, which is wonderful.
My actions usually go something like this
execute () {
MyObject o = myDAO.getRecord(id);
member1 = o.getMember1();
member2 = o.getMember2();
}
MyObject is a JO for hold a row in the database. I like the fact that
I can name my form field 'member1' and it the interceptor will set and
get from my Action. I dont like having to set up each member variable
in the action with the members my class. Is it possible to somehow
have Struts automatically populate an Java Object rather then the
Action? I thought I remember reading about this before but I'm not
sure. It's not a big deal, and I know I can use OGNL to access the
value, but I wanted the convience of mapping a fieldName to my custom
object. Is this possible?
Thank you,
Rich

If the beans match, you could probably use commons-beanutils, but
IIRC, you'll incur a performance penalty.
http://commons.apache.org/beanutils/apidocs/org/apache/commons/beanutils/BeanUtils.html#copyProperties(java.lang.Object,%20java.lang.Object)
By doing it explicitly though, you allow yourself the room to change
your business/TO/etc. objects without the need to update your UI.

Yes,
I know I can do it this way. I'm just being lazy.
I want:
<s:textfield name="member1"/>
To automatically get/set MyObject.getMeember1() rather then it
automatically setting it in the Action and then having me create the
Object and populate it with values.

Did you try :
MyObject theObject;
(geter and setter on theObject)
execute () {
theObject = myDAO.getRecord(id);
}
And in the JSP : <s:property value="theObject.member1"/>
