Struts logic:iterate + html:link

[Remi Malessa]

Hi.
I spend whole night working on a piece of code.

It suppose to Iterate through a bean. The Bean is ArrayList and name in the request scope is eventsList.It holds objects of EventBean.
The Iteration works fine. But the problems start when I'm trying to pass a parameter "eventId", to the DispatchAction by the html:link.

I don't receive the parameter (null).

Here is the piece of .jsp code:

.
.
.
<logic:iterate id="event" name="eventsList" indexId="cnt">
<tr>
<!-- link to the event detail -->

<!-- Event time/date -->
<td><bean:write name="event" property="eventStart" /></td>
<!-- Event name -->
<td><bean:write name="event" property="gameName" /></td>
<!-- link to join the event -->
<th><html:link href="EventDetails.do?command=details"
paramId="Id" paramName="event" paramProperty="eventId">details</html:link></th>
</tr>
</logic:iterate>
.
.
.
Here is mapping for this action
<action path="/EventDetails"
type="uk.ac.aber.rmm03.gamescalendar.controller.EventDisplayDispatchAction"
scope="request"
validate="false"
parameter="command">
<forward name="displayEvent" path="/WEB-INF/secured/displayevent.jsp" />
</action>

And piece of code from the EventDisplayDispatchAction

.
.
.
public class EventDisplayDispatchAction extends DispatchAction {

public ActionForward details(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException {

int gameId = 0;
System.out.println("AAA" + request.getParameter("Id"));
gameId = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("Id"));
.
.
.

It fails on "System.out.println("AAA" + request.getParameter("Id"));"

And gives me:
"java.lang.NumberFormatException: null
java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Unknown Source)
java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Unknown Source)
uk.ac.aber.rmm03.gamescalendar.controller.EventDisplayDispatchAction.details(EventDisplayDispatchAction.java:32)
.
.
."

I would much appreciate some help.

Cheers

I can see the result in the address field "http://192.168.0.2:8080/games-calendar-struts/EventDetails.do?command=details&Id=2" So it look like its passing the parameter . . .

For anyone who'll come across situation like this.
If you are extending DispatchAction class put redirect="false" in the action mapping . . .
