Actionform 's property

["Zhang, Larry (L.)" <lz...@ford.com>]

Say I have an action form 

MyForm extends ActionForm {
 List employeeList;
 //set/getter follows...
}

Suppose in my action class's execute method, 
I populated employeeList from database, and do
myForm.setEmployeeList(List someData);

Now in my Jsp, how to get this value and assign this value to a java
script variable?

Such as:

In my jsp:

<% List iWantToGetThisList = ??? %>

I know one way is that in the action's execute method, I put the
employeeList in the request using request.setAttribute("employeeList",
employeeList); but I don't want to do this way...

Well the way you dont wish to use would be the normal way to do it :)

The form will be available in the request or session (depending on where you
put the form) scope from the jsp under the form's name.  So
${formName.employeeList} is the list from a JSTL perspective.  From
scriptlet, either:

=((full.package.name.MyForm)request.getAttribute("formName")).getElmployeeLi
st();
or
=((full.package.name.MyForm)session.getAttribute("formName")).getElmployeeLi
st();
