[Pooja Priya]

Hi

My home page look like this

welcome to home page

EmpFirstname EmpDetails button

when i go for Empfirstname button , i want to display data from database at data comes here place. similarly for another button. is it possible with struts. Iam new to struts. i think i have to use either javascript or lookupdispatch actions. I know how to do this work in different JSP page but i don't know how to display in a single page.

Yes it is possible.

Have a form bean which consists of all properties that are necessary to display employee information.

Once request for particular employee is requested, fetch the data from database and set in the appropriate Formbean and display in the Jsp.

</action-mappings>
<message-resources parameter="com.avox.struts.ApplicationResources" />
</struts-config>

here is my JSP

Firstname:
<html:text property="empfname" value='<bean:write name="ButtonForm" property="empfname"/>' />

<html:form action="/DetailsAction">
<TABLE border="0" width="60%">
<TR><TD >
<html:submit property="method">
<bean:message key="button.address"/>
</html:submit>
</TD>
<TD>
<html:submit property="method">
<bean:message key="button.disgnation"/>
</html:submit>
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
</html:form>
</center>
Children Addresses:
<CENTER><br><br>

<table border="1" width="60%" rules="none">
<logic:empty name="DetailsForm" property="address" >
<tr>
<td> NO Children Address Available</td>
</tr>
</logic:empty>
<logic:notEmpty name="DetailsForm" property="address" >
<logic:iterate name="DetailsForm" property="address" id="address" >
<tr>
<td><bean:write name="address" property="address" /></td>
</tr>
</logic:iterate>
</logic:notEmpty>
</table>

</CENTER>
</body>
</html:html>



In details jsp, first i have to display firstname . below that message 2 buttons for address and disgnation below that there is a table to dispaly dat about that 2 buttons...I think u can understand my workflow. iam able to display first name at top when i click address button iam getting error can't find bean ButtonsForm ..i know why this error accured bcoz i have given forward path to Details.jsp so it is trying to execute top that is from first name(ButtonsForm)..

Struts tag cannot be nested

Moreover whenever you are not submitting any data, dont go for submit better have a link for it.

Whenever address link is clicked pass the employee id thru form bean and in your model fetch the appropriate employee address.

Do the same for employee desgination

[Hema lata]

try this...

set a flag on each button click.
Then use if condition to check which button clicked and display respective results in same page accordingly.
