Displaying data in a struts form

[email protected] · March 11th, 2007, 10:30 PM

I have built an application very similar to the Employee example in the book. However, the data does not display in the JSP page.

My JSP page looks like this

Code:

<logic:iterate id="record" name="searchrecords">
              <tr>
                  <td width="95"><input name="submit" type="Badge Num" /> </td>
                <td width="115" class="style2"><bean:write name="record" property="ar_empno"/></td>

My strut-config looks like this

Code:

<action path="/searchList" 
            type="com.cta.acctTerm.web.action.SearchListAction"
            name="recordSearchFormBean"
            parameter="operation"
            scope="request">
              <forward name="back" path="/recordsearch.jsp"/>            
              <forward name="success" path="/searchList.jsp"/>
              <forward name="failure" path="/error.jsp"/>
        </action>

My Action looks like this

Code:

public ActionForward add(ActionMapping mapping, 
            ActionForm form,
            HttpServletRequest request,
            HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
            modelFacade = new ModelDAOFacade();
            RecordSearchFormBean saveBean = (RecordSearchFormBean)form;
            String ar_empno = saveBean.getar_empno();

            ArrayList searchrecords = new ArrayList();//modelFacade.recordSearchLast(ar_last);
            AccountRecord record = new AccountRecord();
            record.setar_empno("9999");
            record.setar_first("TEST");
            searchrecords.add(record);

            request.setAttribute("searchrecords",  searchrecords);

            return(mapping.findForward("success"));
    }

However, my data does not display. I am sure the searchrecords data is being populated into the request.

Any ideas will be much appreciated.

On another note, is there a working version of the code that we can deploy as an example? I have tried for over a week to get this to work and am beginning to wonder if the book missed out on some information.

Thanks in advance for any information.

You just send me the jsp page so that i can
understand what method ur using to populate
data in jsp.

in the action class method ur setting the values to some object like record, those values are not set to the form object
do one thing
1.create an attribute in the form class like
AccountRecord record = null;
create setter and getter method for it.
2. the record object in action class set to this setter method in the form , then u can populate the data in jsp page.
