A few things, Wendy. I think you are on the right track. I had two
difficulties.
I solved one with the -*- and the @ as a stop gap solution. I
customarily use the property value of the html image button to pass
the method with myMethod.method. This will not work with
LazyValidatorForm. So, I changed that to [EMAIL PROTECTED], having
decided that I would rather have a char ('@') then a String ("-*'-")
in place of the original char ('.'). This solved that problem. The
utility classes have never had a problem with that until
LazyValidatorForm.
The second one probably does have something to do with how I am
"farming" the values. Prior to using LazyValidatorForm, I have some
values in the form as related to <html:form> and some not. E.g. I
have a combination of <input type='hidden'> for example and
<html:hidden>. I have noticed that I am not getting any values in my
Actions from my ActionForms by my normal, Struts 1.1, coding when I
used LazyValidatorForm. All those values are blank, even the ones
with <html:text> etc.
Why would that be? It must be that I have to recode farming all
values for LazyValidatorForm? I wish I had an ActionForm class that
would allow me to have parametr name/values without getters and
setters in the ActionForm but without other requirements. Apparently
LazyValidatorForm has other requirements which I must learn?
I guess I am going to have to open up the documentation war and learn
about LazyValidatorForm and maybe rewrite something similiar? Maybe
not too. I just don't want to change all my code to do this simple
thing.
