Using Spring 2
I have 2
JSP pages both have SimpleFormControllers behind them -
public class LoginController extends SimpleFormController{
....
public class ListReturnsController extends SimpleFormController{
....
what I want to do is when the Login button is pressed on login.jsp control passes to listreturns.jsp and methods like ListReturnsController's referenceData() get called to prepopulate it etc... BEFORE the actual listreturns.jsp is displayed?
I thought this would very simple but as a newbie it's not to be!
So basically my login.jsp looks like this -
<form:form method="POST" action="login.htm" commandName="login">
...
<input type="submit" name="_login" value="Login" />
In LoginController - onSubmit() I'm doing this -
protected ModelAndView onSubmit(HttpServletRequest request, ..........) throws Exception
{
......
if (WebUtils.hasSubmitParameter(request, "_cancel"))
{
return new ModelAndView("listreturns");
}
......
but listreturns.jsp is opened WITHOUT referenceData() being called!
Can anyone help? - I know it's bound to be sonething stupid I'm doing/not doing but just can't see it at the moment?
my config file looks like this -
<beans>
<bean id="loginController"
class="uk.gov.ea.gor.controller.LoginController">
<property name="formView" value="login" />
<property name="successView" value="listreturns" />
</bean>
<bean id="listReturnsController"
class="uk.gov.ea.gor.controller.ListReturnsController">
<property name="formView" value="listreturns" />
<property name="successView" value="changepassword" />
</bean>
<bean id="changePasswordController"
class="uk.gov.ea.gor.controller.ChangePasswordController">
<property name="formView" value="changepassword" />
<property name="successView" value="listreturns" />
</bean>
<bean id="urlMapping"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
<property name="mappings">
<props>
<prop key="/login.htm">loginController</prop>
<prop key="/listreturns.htm">listReturnsController</prop>
<prop key="/changepasssword.htm">changePasswordController</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="viewClass">
<value>org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView</value>
</property>
<property name="prefix">
<value>/WEB-INF/jsp/</value>
</property>
<property name="suffix">
<value>.jsp</value>
</property>
</bean>
</beans>
thanks in advance & hope I've explained this properly!
