one form in struts should take attention the following:
first, you should have an bean extends org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm,(how to
write this bean you can refrence http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/) here,
we assume the name of the bean is test.UserForm;
second, you should declare the form name in the nest of tag <action-mappings> and
</action-mappings>
for example
<action-mappings>
<action path="/regist" type="net.jspcn.guestbook.LeaveWordAction"
name="leavewordform" scope="request" input="/guestbook/index.jsp" />
<action path="/overview" forward="/guestbook/hello.jsp" />
<action path="/failed" forward="/guestbook/wuwu.jsp" />
<action path="/display" type="net.jspcn.guestbook.Display"
name="userf" scope="request" input="/guestbook/index.jsp" />
</action-mappings>
third, you should specify the type of the form name in the nest of tag <form-beans> and
</form-beans>
for example
<form-beans>
<form-bean name="leavewordform" type="net.jspcn.guestbook.LeaveWordForm">
</form-bean>
</form-beans>
you must take care whether the form name is same in <ation> and <form-bean>,struts request
consistency
fourth,in the .jsp(view part) file, if you use struts tag ,the form action should be
assigned with the path property in the <action> tag
for example
<html:form action="regist.cool" focus="name"
onsubmit="return validateLeavewordform(this);">
fifth,if u wanna focus the cursor in the specified text field ,you .jsp file syntax should
like this
<html:form action="regist.cool" focus="name"
here ,name is the text field name
sixth, if u wanna validate the input with javascript,you .jsp file syntax should like this
onsubmit="return validateLeavewordform(this);"
form name leavewordform,captalize the first word,so it's Leavewordform
then with the prefix validate and suffix (this);
not only this u need to call the javascript validate
this following code is also need
<html:javascript formName="leavewordform" dynamicJavascript="true"
staticJavascript="false"/>
formName is the form name in <form-bean> tag
it also need validator-rules.xml and validation.xml file support
use can reference reference
