I'm a newbie to Struts, and I know this is probably a very basic question, but I'm getting REALLY confused with all the books and documentation I have read. So, I'm asking some guidance here... I don't need all the details, but I need some help to start.
I'm trying to make a page that, when opened (via a menu, or something like that) displays a table with the contents of an ArrayList that comes from the logic layer. Also, I would like to have some links and checkboxes on each row of the table. Suppose I want this:
Name | Description | Edit | Delete ---------------------------------------------- Item 1 | Some thing | Edit me | <delete checkbox> Item 2 | Some thing | Edit me | <delete checkbox> Item 3 | Some thing | Edit me | <delete checkbox> ...
The "edit me" could be a link or button to another page that shows more details about that entry, and allows the user to edit it.
My questions are:
1) How can I pass the ArrayList to the JSP page? I tried to fill in the ActionForm of the page *before* opening the page (using the Action that forwards to the page) but that does not work, because the form was not yet created (it comes as null). What's the right way to do this?
2) How can I get back the checkboxes, text fields that eventually exist on the table, and know what "Edit me" link the user clicked? I mean, Forms as static objects relating to their properties... so there is not a "row1", "row2", etc property on the Form object. How can I get all the data back?
Again, i just need a push in the right direction, I do not need any detailed stuff, although links to examples would be welcome.
Yours
