Doubt in Form Bean population

[Hemanth Pallavajula]

hi Friends,

I have a doubt in regard to population of data into form beans by Struts. I know that Struts internally uses request.getParameter() to get the value of a parameter. What I am trying to do is that, I am putting the two attributes as part of the query string. Thse attributes data needs to get populated in the form bean. Is this possible..?

I tried and I am getting NULL values.

Here is the code in the JSP:-

 
<form name="frmTest" action="<%=actionPath%>TestAction2.do?name=ABC">
<input type="Submit" value="Submit Form"/>
</form>

The code within the Action class is:-

 
if (bean.getId() != null) {
System.out.println("bean.getId() = " + bean.getId());
}
else {
System.out.println("bean.getId() is NULL");
if (request.getParameter("id") != null) {
    System.out.println("Parameter ID = " + request.getParameter("id"));
}
}
 
if (bean.getName() != null) {
System.out.println("bean.getName() = " + bean.getName());
}
else {
System.out.println("bean.getName() is NULL");
if (request.getParameter("name") != null) {
    System.out.println(
    "Parameter Name = " + request.getParameter("name"));
}
}
 
Enumeration enum = request.getParameterNames();
System.out.println("Parameter Names : ");
while(enum.hasMoreElements()) {
System.out.print(enum.nextElement().toString());
}
 

The output is:-
bean.getId() is NULL
bean.getName() is NULL
Parameter Names :


Please help me in this regard.
