Struts 1: How to access Struts form data in JavaScript

[Omi Kir]

Hi.

I need to access Struts form data in my JavaScript via JSP. Plese let me know if there is any standard way to do this.

I also need to access the request variables (set via request.setAttribute(..,..)) in my JSP which are set in Struts form. I am open to use Struts tags or Scriplets but I prefer to use standard Struts Tags in my JSP.

Please suggest me a standard procedure to achieve both.

Thank you.

Yes. You write out JavaScript variables containing the data in your JSP. For example:
var myData = '<bean:write name="commaDelmitedListOfData" />';

I also need to access the request variables (set via request.setAttribute(..,..)) in my JSP which are set in Struts form. I am open to use Struts tags or Scriplets but I prefer to use standard Struts Tags in my JSP.

What kind of variables? If they are strings you can use bean efine. Otherwise, you can use jsp:useBean. Scriptlets should be a last resort for new code.
