Reference to ActionForm in jsp

[Chetan Lakshmeshwar]

Hi,

A very basic question.
If I have to display to the user the data entered by him when he clicks the back button then how do I reference the form variable in the jsp.

I need to refer the form variable because i want to display the text boxes etc with values entered by the user.

Regards,
Chetan

One way would be like this -

in struts-config.xml file set the <forward path="action path of nextform">. Here I am assuming that you are extending your class with ActionForm. so before the next page is displayed, the validate() method will be called , where you can set form values from HttpServletRequest parameter.

other way can be -

using request.getAttribute() method in second jsp form in struts tag.

Chetan,

I'm trying to respond to your PM but you have your account set not to receive PM's. My preferred method would be to email you to discuss this, but you don't have an email address associated with yout account either. If you would, please send me an email and we'll discuss the issue raised in your PM.

Thanks,
