Your original question was on how to survive without the name-attribute in the <html:form> tag.
The answer is that the later versions of taglib/struts dont allow you to use the same Action-class on different ActionForms by changing the name-attribute (since it has been removed). You are now forced to have a mapping for every combination of ActionForm/Action. Since I dont know how your ActionForm-classes looks like I cant give you exact help. But wouldnt it be possible to share a ActionForm-class for the edit/delete/search/create Actions? > Yes, the flow is like this: > > My struts config has this action for the search page: > > <action path="/actionClient" > type="com.medina.web.action.ActionClientAction" > name="actionClientForm" > scope="session" > input="/searchClient.jsp"> > <forward name="edit" path="/editClient.jsp"/> > <forward name="delete" path="/deleteClient.jsp"/> > </action> > > This sends the actionclientForm to the actionclientaction class. > > This class goes to the db gets the information then forwards > to editClient.jsp which has the action mapped: > > <action path="/updateClient" > > > > > type="com.medina.web.action.UpdateClientAction" > > > > > name="createClientForm" > > > > > scope="session" > > So when I tried to re cast it it threw a class cast because I > was trying to cast actionClientForm to createClientForm. > > The bean named createCleintForm is of class createClientForm > which is mapped in the form beans of config.xml. > > Does the same still apply? > > Thanks > > -----Original Message----- > From: Ekberg Mats KONSULT [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 29 September 2005 11:02 > To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' > Subject: SV: prepopulating jsp page > > Ok, so you have a different formbean coming in to this action: > > > > > > <action path="/updateClient" > > > > > type="com.medina.web.action.UpdateClientAction" > > > > > name="createClientForm" > > > > > scope="session" > > The bean named createClientForm is NOT of class CreateClientForm? > > If you have a bean class other than the one mapped to the > executing action > that you want to populate and later display in the > success-form, then you > have to: > > 1 create the bean > 2 populate it > 3 put it in page/request/session scope > 4 return from action > 5 in jsp, get the bean from the scope you put it in > > > > -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- > > Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Skickat: den 29 september 2005 11:55 > > Till: user@struts.apache.org > > Ämne: RE: prepopulating jsp page > > > > I cannot do the following > > > > CreateClientForm updateForm = (CreateClientForm)actionForm; > > > > Because the action is called from a search page and has a > > different form coming in.
