struts question

[Alan]

Hi everybody:
I don´t understand a lot of things about Struts, for example, I have a jsp:

Code:

 <shtml:form method="post" action="/listRequirements.do?format=jsp">

I know that when I submit will go to the listRequirementsAction, after that I receive in listRequirementsForm the parameters.

I see in jsp this:

Code:

<a class="common_link" title="<bean:message key='listRequirements.update'/>" href="/item/loadRequirement.do;jsessionid=<%= session.getId()%>?target=work_on_requirement&id=<bean:write name="data" property="id"/>" ><bean:write name="data" property="id"/></a>

that is a link and I understand that call this link and it execute loadRequirementAction , the doubt is:
If I don´t submit is there another way to assign the parameters to the form???

thank you

.... if you use queryString, you pass like this, so you can obtain the parameters, in other case you have to do a submit.
good luck

Use a hidden field in the jsp form.

Code:

<html:hidden property="hiddenfield" value="whatever"/>

make sure that variable hiddenfield is in your ActionForm.
Then submit the form with a submit button. In the struts.config you have the
forward go to the /loadRequirement action.
