passing request param from struts.xml

[Giovanni Azua]

Hi all,

I would like to pass a different request parameter to the same JSP
depending on the Action e.g.

Schedule PERMANENT job => set request parameter to 'permanent' =>
Display ScheduleJobForm JSP
Schedule ONE-TIME job => set request parameter to 'onetime' => Display
ScheduleJobForm JSP

I would like to pass a "frequency" parameter to a jsp that looks like:

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags"%>
<s:form action="ScheduleJob.action" method="post" theme="%{currentTheme}">
*<s:hidden name="frequency" value="%{#request.frequency}" />*
<s:submit value="Schedule" align="center"/>
</s:form>

My question is how to place this frequency in the request from the
struts.xml?

I have tried the following but does not work ...

****************************************************************************
struts.xml
****************************************************************************
<action name="OneTimeJobFormDisplay"
class="scheduler.ScheduleJobFormDisplayAction">
<result name="input" type="tiles">
<param name="actionName">webui.oneTimeJobForm</param>
*<param name="frequency">ONETIME</param>*
</result>
</action>

<action name="PermanentJobFormDisplay"
class="scheduler.ScheduleJobFormDisplayAction">
<result name="input" type="tiles">
<param name="actionName">webui.permanentJobForm</param>
*<param name="frequency">PERMANENT</param>*
</result>
</action>
****************************************************************************

TIA,
regards,
Giovanni

Why does it have to be in the request? If it's a
normal Action property you can access it directly
without using the request; your struts config would
look the same, you'd provide a getter and setter in
the action, and your JSP would refer to it without the
"#request." prefix.
