html:link and form

[Brian Voss]

I'm trying to submit a form with a text box in it via html:link. I have put the onklick="this.form.submit()(sorry about onklick it made me do it!) in the link but the form bean setter isn't getting called. It worked about two to three time (which I can't explain) but now it's not calling it again. What have I done wrong?

JSP:

  
 
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/jstl-c" prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/jstl-x" prefix="x" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/jstl-fmt" prefix="fmt" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-bean-el" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-logic-el" prefix="logic" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-html-el" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-html" prefix="html-rt" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-tiles" prefix="tiles" %>
 
<jsp:useBean id="requestParamHelper" scope="page" class="com.vartec.netsup.weblib.helper.RequestParamHelper"/>
<c:if test="${!empty sessionScope.EDITCOMPANY}">
<c:set var="aCompany" value="${sessionScope.EDITCOMPANY}"/>
<table width="90%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" bordercolor="#E6E6E6" bgcolor="Silver">
<tr bgcolor="#3E467E">
 
  <td>Old Company Name</td>
  <td>New Company Name</td>
  <td>Actions</td>
      </tr>
       
 
          <c:set target="${requestParamHelper}" property="oid" value="${aCompany.oidAsLong}"/>
          <td><c :-o	 ut value="${aCompany.name}"/></td> 
         <html:form action="/company/save" method="GET">
              <td><html:text property="newCompanyName" size="width:150px" maxlength="16" styleClass="formtextfield" value="${aCompany.name}"/></td> 
      
                   <td><html:link action="/company/save" name="requestParamHelper" property="map" onklick="this.form.submit();">
                    <html:img page="/images/save.gif" alt="Save Company" styleClass="detailsicon"/>
                </html:link>
                </html:form>
                
                
                      <html:link action="/company/delete" name="requestParamHelper" property="map" 
                   onklick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this company?');">
                  <html:img page="/images/delete.gif" alt="Delete Company" styleClass="detailsicon"/>
                  </html:link></td>
 
</table>
</c:if>
 

Form:

  
/*
 * Created on Jul 1, 2004
 
 */
package com.vartec.corporate.web.form.company;
 
import com.vartec.netsup.weblib.form.BaseActionForm;
 
/**

 */
public class SaveCompanyForm extends BaseActionForm
{
  private String newCompanyName;
  
/**
 * @return
 */
public String getNewCompanyName()
{
System.err.println("get new name");
return newCompanyName;
}
 
/**
 * @param string
 */
public void setNewCompanyName(String string)
{
newCompanyName = string;
System.err.println("set new name");
}
 
}

struts config:

 
 <form-bean name="saveCompanyForm" type="com.vartec.corporate.web.form.company.SaveCompanyForm"/>
 
    <action path="/company/save"
          type="com.vartec.corporate.web.action.company.SaveCompanyAction"
           name="saveCompanyForm"
            scope="session" validate="false">
      <forward name="success" path=".search.company" redirect="false" />
    </action>
