Stripes | JSTL: Can't access bean variable

[Em Aiy]

We are using Stripes framework with JSTL in front end. Now there is a class which is mapped as

package project.ui;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

import project.beans.Employer;
import project.beans.Package;
import project.beans.Worker;
import project.finance.packages.PackageManager;
import project.util.Utils;

import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.ActionBean;
import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.ActionBeanContext;
import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.DefaultHandler;
import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.RedirectResolution;
import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.Resolution;
import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.UrlBinding;

@UrlBinding("/buypackages.action")
public class BuyPackages implements ActionBean{
	private Logger            	logger;
	private ActionBeanContext 	beanContext;
	private Employer			employer;
	private	PackageManager		packageManager;
	private	String				packageName;
	
	public String getPackageName() {
		return packageName;
	}

	public void setPackageName(String packageName) {
		this.packageName = packageName;
	}

	public BuyPackages (){
		packageName = "hello haaldasd";
		logger = Logger.getLogger(this.getClass());
	}
	
	@Override
	public ActionBeanContext getContext() {
		return beanContext;
	}

	@Override
	public void setContext(ActionBeanContext beanContext) {
		this.beanContext = beanContext;
		if (beanContext.getRequest().getSession().getAttribute("employer") == null) {
			logger.info("No employer logged in...will redirect to login page");
		} else
			employer = (Employer) getSession().getAttribute("employer");
	}
	
	@DefaultHandler
	public Resolution showPackages(){
		if (null == employer) {
			return new RedirectResolution("/login.jsp?");
		}
		return new RedirectResolution("/jobPayment.jsp");
	}
	
	private HttpSession getSession() {
		return beanContext.getRequest().getSession();
	}
	
	public List<Package> getPackages (){
		return PackageManager.getOfferedPackage();
	}
	
	@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
	public Package getSuitablePackage (){
		Map<Integer, Worker> workerCart = (Map<Integer, Worker>) Utils.getSessionObject("workerCart", beanContext);
		return packageManager.getSuitablePackage(workerCart.size());
	}


}

eventually i want to access the packageManager list on the jobPayment.jsp page. but i am not able to do it. I don't know the reason. I am trying to digg into stripes framework but the deadline is short. my ulitame goal is to

show the list of packages in radio form and then submit the selected package to the particular class. Can someone please help me here?

here is the jsp file

<stripes:form beanclass="project.ui.BuyPackages">
	<div class="span-16">

		<!-- EN: h3 Tell them more about your job! /h3  -->
		<!-- Job Information for selected candidates -->
		<div id="phoneInputs" class="standard roundedBox leftSearch wufoo topLabel">
		<fmt:message key="job.info.header"/>
		
		<!-- i want to show the list here but whatever i tried is either brining null or not know value -->
	
		<br/>
		<br/>
		<br/>
		</div>
		</div>
	</stripes:form>

The problem is that you are doing a RedirectResolution in your DefaultHandler method which means this particular action bean will no longer be available in the request. You need to use a ForwardResolution and then you can access your packages via ${actionBean.packages}.

thanks - that really helped. but now some weird thing is taking time.

I have did the "ForwardResolution" from actionclass one to .. "jobPayment.jsp". Where the packages are being rendered properly (thanks to you)

and I have added following for there

	<stripes:form beanclass="project.ui.BuyPackages" />
	<div class="span-16">

		<!-- EN: h3 Tell them more about your job! /h3  -->
		<!-- Job Information for selected candidates -->
		<fmt:message key="job.info.header"/>
		<c:forEach var="package" items="${actionBean.availablePackages}">
			<span>
				<stripes:radio id="${package.id}"
					name="selectedPackage"
					class="field radio" value="true"/>
					<label class="choice" for="${actionBean.selectedPackage}">
						<fmt:message key="package.text">
							<fmt:param value="${package.credits}"/>
							<fmt:param value="${package.price}"/>
						</fmt:message>
					</label> 
			</span>
		</c:forEach>
		</div>
	
		<stripes:submit name="save" id="continue" value="save"/>

This thing is being rendered accordingly. but when i click on save button, it does not go to the Action class. i.e i can't have control back to the java class for further processing

the java class is same like i posted earlier with this added method
[code]
public Resolution save() {
System.out.println("----------");
System.out.println(selectedPackage);
System.out.println(packageName);
return new RedirectResolution("/login.jsp");
}
