How do I do this, input field retains value

[ashish kulkarni]

Hi,
I have one jsp page with 2 text fields, I am using
DynaValidatorForm,
I have an action form where in i call an program to
update the database with these vaues.
and reloads the same jsp
Now the problem is
1> I have defined the 2 text fields as following
<html:text property="input1" size="15" maxlength="8"
/>
<html:text property="input2" size="15" maxlength="8"
/>
When there is some error, i get the error message and
also the retain the values entered by the user in
these fields.
But the values are also retained even if those are
updated in data base??
so how can i avoid reloading of these values when
there is no error

Hi Ashish,
In your action class after performing your business logic, you can add the following code to make the fields on the form empty.
if(form instanceof DynaForm)
{
DynaForm f=(DynaForm)form;
f.setInput1("");
f.setInput2("");
}
setInput1 and setInput2 methods reflects the variable and methods defined in actionform class.
I hope you find this info useful.
Loke.

Hi,
I think following code might be helpfull to you.
// Remove the obsolete form bean
if (mapping.getAttribute() != null) {
if ("request".equals(mapping.getScope()))
request.removeAttribute(mapping.getAttribute());
else
session.removeAttribute(mapping.getAttribute());
}
this is the code used to invalidate/reset the form-bean. complete code is avalibale in struts-exampls Action.
