Hi there,
I am having a problem, trying to embed one ValidatorForm inside of another
--- specifically this is the situation:
I have a class InstitutionForm and a class DnaForm -- I am trying to do the
following
public class InstitutionForm extends ValidatorForm {
private DnaForm dnaForm;
private String institution_name;
public String getInstitution_name() {
return institution_name;
}
public void setInstitution_name(String institution_name) {
this.institution_name = institution_name;
}
public DnaForm getDnaForm() {
return dnaForm;
}
public void setDnaForm(DnaForm dnaForm) {
this.dnaForm = dnaForm;
}
}
public class DnaForm extends ValidatorForm {
private String first_name;
public String getFirst_name() {
return first_name;
}
public void setFirst_name(String first_name) {
this.first_name = first_name;
}
}
In my JSP, I have the following:
<html:form action="/processRequestAccess" method="POST">
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td><bean:message key="institution-name" /></td>
<td><html:text property="institution_name" /></td>
<td><bean:message key="title" /></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><bean:message key="address1" /></td>
<td></td>
<td><bean:message key="first-name" /></td>
<td><html:text property="dnaForm.first_name" /></td> <!-- DOESN'T LIKE THIS
-->
</tr>
............
.............
</html:form>
the rendered JSP produces this:
12:25:33,653 INFO [TilesRequestProcessor] Tiles definition factory found for
request processor ''.
12:25:36,567 ERROR [[jsp]] Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception

I am using JBoss 4.x
It is obvious, that the jsp rendering does not 'like' the
dnaForm.first_name--- is there a decent way of embedding these
Validatorform, one inside of
the other,
or should I just do a InstutionForm extends DnaForm instead??
Thanks, Alex.
