I am using Struts 1.1 deployed in Tomcat 4.1 running under JDK 1.3.
I have a contact form I am building. It will get the user's email from
an object called a UserInfoBean, which is not an ActionForm subclass,
but does follow the JavaBean paradigm. It simply holds user info such
as first name, last name, etc. Since it isn't associated with any
particular form, I didn't make it subclass ActionForm. So my first
question is, is this the correct pattern to follow?
Secondly, in my ContactSupportAction class (subclass of struts
Action), I attempt to retrieve this bean from the session and call
it's getEmail() method. However, the result of (UserInfoBean)
request.getAttribute("userInfoBean"); returns a NULL reference. I
don't understand why this is happening.
I create this bean in a class called GetUserInfoAction, which gets
fired right after a user logs in succesfully. The GetUserInfoAction
will create a UserInfoBean and place it in the session under the name
"userInfoBean". The GetUserInfoAction will forward the user to the
home.jsp. In this page I have some <bean:write> tags which reference
information in the "userInfoBean" object. And this information
displays just find. So I know the bean gets created and succesfully
stored in the session.
So how come I am not able to find a reference to this object when I
attempt to retrieve from the session in my ContactSupportAction class?
