How to index the JSP page for different pages

Hi All,

I am using Struts 1.1 and I have the following requirement. The scenario is, for example I have a customer page. In my application, based on the user selection, I have to allow the user to enter maximum of 10 customers. When the user finish with the page one and click on "continue", then I have to show the same page to ask for the next customer information. I don't want to create
Customer1.jsp
Customer2.jsp
.
.
.
Customer10.jsp.

In that case, I would like to index the pages by using one Customer.jsp file, to identify the different customer information.

Any Idea would be appreciated !!!

Thanks in advance !!!

Shan,
If each customer page has the same format, you have no problem. Just keep track of the current page number in the session.

Shanmugam,

Could you please do our eyes a favor and modify your display name to use mixed case rather than all uppercase? It's rather jarring.

thanks!

Hi Jeanne,

Thank you for your reply, I want to use only one Customer.jsp for all the pages. How do I keep the different numbers in the session.

Thanks,

Well obviously you have your action process the pages one at a time as they are submitted.
By this I mean, you gather the information from the Action form, and save it into a variable somewhere. List of customer objects? Maybe in session scope?
When the page gets submitted again, you just add the records onto the end of your existing list.

Do you have to go back and edit the customers already entered?

Hi Stefans,

Thanks for your reply. Yes I have to go back and edit the customer details some times. For example, assume I have completed 7 customer pages, but I want to edit the the 3rd customer page. I would click on the "Customer 3" tab and directly go there and edit and save the information.

In that case, how do I tell the session, that I am editing the 3 customer ?

Thanks,
Shan

Is Anbody having any idea ?

Thanks in Advance

You can have the LoadAction take the customer number as parameter. On your jsp page, pass the customer number to your SaveAction. On success, the SaveAction should increment the customer number, and forward to the Load Action. The tabs on the top can call LoadAction and pass the correct customer number
