Simply put I have a need for a configurable form that can have any mixture of fields on it including, specifically, file uploads.
Seems to me that the DynaActionForm would be the way to go about this, however, they're defined in struts-config. Clearly, struts already has all of the code to convert an HTML request in to a DynaActionForm, so I'd rather not reinvent that wheel if possible. Now it seems to me that I should be able to simply instantiate my own DynaActionForm that has all of the properties that coincedently looks like the form that's being submitted. Has anyone done something like this? I've been playing with trying to instatiate an DynaActionForm using some "hand made" FormPropertyConfig's, and then calling DynaFormAction.initialize(FormConfigBean), but I'm getting some null pointer exceptions, so I'm obviously missing something. I'd also like to intercept the form creation process to make the DynaActionForm on the fly during the request pipeline and, ideally, stuff the form in the Request scope where it belongs. Right now I have to stuff it in to the Session using an Action before the page is displayed, but obviously this won't work if there is the potential for more than one form to exist. So, anyway, has anyone tried to leverage the Struts pipeline to create "on the fly" DynaActionForms so you could leverage all of the built in Struts facilities? Has anyone ever successfully created a DynaActionForm directly rather than using the struts-config file? Thanx!
