I have to edit some data in the form.
So I have to load the text fields in the form with
some data values from a Database Table Record.
Can I do tht initializing the bean object and give it
to struts to display the values ?
Yes, though the answer comes from BeanUtils, not Struts itself. In your
Action, before the JSP is displayed, (after you retrieve the bean with the
database values,) you can call
BeanUtils.copyProperties( destination, origin );
to copy the values over. If the property names match, and both objects
conform to the JavaBeans spec (mostly for naming the get/set methods) then
it will just work. If not, you may have to give BeanUtils some hints about
what you want it to do.
If you search the archives for 'propulate form bean' you should find some
good info. Also take a look at the mailreader-example app (in the 'webapps'
directory of the 1.2.7 distribution) which has an example of pre-populating
the form bean in EditRegistrationAction.
