Really F'Struts'trated!!!

[Donny]

Hello all ...

I've been stuck with this problem for quite some time now.. I have
a form, say personal.jsp . It has a couple of <html:text> fields ...
I populated the fields from the database using the forms reset()
method.

The "success" page is the personal.jsp itself. The changes i make
are reflected in the database, but when the form comes back.. it still
has the old values which were originally shown the first time i
populated it from the database.

I was assuming that the forms reset() method is called every time
the form is reloaded.. What is the 'Struts' way to do this?

Thanks in advance for your help ...

I'm pretty sure the reset() method is only called when the page is created,
though someone here might correct that.

Given what you want to do, you should either move the database access to
the getFieldName() methods, or call the reset() explicitly when you're
about to forward to the "success" page.

(But YMMV -- I'm still pretty new to Struts too)

Hi,

no, the reset() method is called everytime the jsp is reloaded. I have
proved that on my application with the logger.
