form properties and with collection
Hi,
What is the best way of setting a Java Collection which holds Java
Objects
as a property of the form, and retrieving the Object and it's properties
on a JSP?
I've tried it as such but have not been successful:
In my action, I have created a list called "myList" which holds objects
of type "myClass".
"myClass" has an attribute "name" and a getter method "getName". In the
action I set the list
as a property of a DynaValidatorForm:
form.set("availableNamesList", myList );
In struts-config:
<form-bean name="newNameForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property name="selectedName" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="availableNamesList" type="java.util.List"/>
</form-bean>
In the JSP:
<html:form action="/addNewName" >
<html:select property="selectedName" size="5" multiple="false">
<html:options collection="availableNamesList"
property="name" />
</html:select>
</html:form>
This results in the error: [ServletException in:/jsp/newName.jsp] Cannot
find bean under name availableNamesList'
If I put the list in session scope in my action with:
request_.getSession().setAttribute("availableNamesList", myList);
this works fine.
I'd like to avoid having to put the list in session scope and I don't
understand why just setting the list
as a property of the form doesn't work.
Any help/guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
SB

IIRC, <html:optionsCollection> plays even nicer with LabelValue because of the
defaults for the "label" and "value" attributes. In other words, I think
Robert's example is equivalent to:
<html:select property="myProperty">
<html:optionsCollection name="myOptions"/>
</html:select>

Good. I'm glad you got it working.
I tend to use the <html:optionsCollection .../> and populate my collection
with LabelValue beans. It keeps things uncomplicated and simple.
I end up with code like this in my .jsp:
<html:select property="myProperty">
<html:optionsCollection name="myOptions" label="label" value="value"/>
</html:select>

Re: form properties and with collection
Posted by Sonam Belbase <So...@morganstanley.com>.
It's working now.
I added a <bean:define> to define the bean which represents my collection of
objects. I believe this is required in order to find the bean specified by the
value
of the collection attribute in the <html:options collection> tag.
Thanks for your help Robert.

If you continue to forward, it shouldn't. But if you redirect anywhere
in the chain, then that data is gone.
Double check your attribute name spelling in your code and config file.
That's tripped me up before.

Re: form properties and with collection

Robert,
In my action, on success I forward the request to a tiles definition called
content.addNewName, which in return calls another definition. Could the
data be lost because of this?
<action path="/journalSetType"
type="com.msdw.libra.ae.actions.selectNewName"
name="newNameForm"
scope="request">
<forward name="success" path="content.addNewName"/>
</action>

RE: form properties and with collection
Posted by Robert Taylor <rt...@mulework.com>.
Make sure you aren't redirecting the request, but rather forwarding.
If you redirect (which I suspect your are doing) and the form is
in the request scope, then you will lose all data set in the form.
