Resuming half filled form

[Govinda Gopala]

Hi

i want to achieve this

there is a really big form so user has an option of filling it up later

while he is trying to fill it up ,data which he filled earlier should be prepopulated

only after filling it up completely it should be saved in the database

where and how to save this temporary data

Can you elaborate on the below,


" there is a really big form so user has an option of filling it up later

How many Screens (i.e., JSP) you provide for user to enter the data ?

Is it like a WIZARD type ?

i.e., SCREEN 1 --> SCREEN 2 -->...... --> FINAL SCREEN with SUBMIT button ??

[Govinda Gopala]

yeah exactly

there are going to be lot of JSPs

Screen1--->screen2--->screen3---->finally save button

but there will be save draft button which will save the data entered by the user
into a temp location not into Database

so that when he resumes ,data entered by him previously will be displayed

If you are trying to develop wizard like functionality than there is already an interceptor in struts2 refer the link Scope Interceptor http://struts.apache.org/2.0.14/docs/scope-interceptor.html

There is now conversation plugin for Struts2 that achieve wizard style form http://code.google.com/p/struts2-conversation/
