Hi All,

I am newbie to Struts.

I am writing a simple application, in which in the JSP page, if I use
bean in scripplet it works fine. For example <%=
courseBean.getCourseName%> works fine and gives me result.

If I replace this pice of code with bean write or html: text nothing
comes.

I have tried putting bean in session, used bean:define tag but nothing
works.

Here is my example code

Struts Config File

   <action path="/modifyCourse"
type="com.nyiso.lc.admin.ModifyCourseAction"  name="courseFormBean"
scope="request">
     <forward name="success" path="/public-html/modifyCourse.jsp" />
   </action>

JSP Code  - modifyCourse.jsp

<%@ page import="com.nyiso.lc.admin.LCConstants,
com.nyiso.lc.admin.CourseTypeBean,
com.nyiso.lc.admin.CourseBean,com.nyiso.lc.silverln.LCDAO,
java.util.ArrayList" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<%@ include file = "header.html" %>
<%@ include file = "menu.jsp" %>

<table>
    <tr>
        <td class="title2"><BR>Course Editor</td>
    </tr>
</table>

<bean:define id="courseBean1" name="courseBean" toScope="session"
type="com.nyiso.lc.CourseBean"//>

<html:form action="maintainCourse.do?action=<%=LCDAO.UPDATE_STP%>"
focus="courseName" >

        <TABLE CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" BORDER="0">
        <TR>
            <TD CLASS="paragraphbold" ALIGN="Right">Course Name</TD>
            <TD CLASS="paragraph">
            <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="courseID" SIZE="30" CLASS="paragraph"
value="">

                <html:text property="courseName" size="30" maxlength="100"/>
                <bean:write name="courseBean1" property="courseName"/>
                <bean:write name="courseBean1" property="CourseName"/>
            </TD>
        </TR>
</html:form>
<%@ include file = "footer.html" %>

public class ModifyCourseAction extends Action {
 public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
                              ActionForm form,
                              HttpServletRequest request,
                              HttpServletResponse response)
     throws Exception {

    HttpSession session = request.getSession();

    CourseFormBean courseFormBean = (CourseFormBean) form;

   if(session.getAttribute(Constants.DATA_SOURCE) == null){
        SilverDB mySilverDB = new SilverDB();
        session.setAttribute(Constants.DATA_SOURCE, mySilverDB);
    }
   CourseTypeDAO courseTypeDAO = new CourseTypeDAO(request);
   ArrayList arrCourseTypeBean =
(ArrayList)courseTypeDAO.hydrate(LCDAO.SELECT_ALL_STP, null);
   request.setAttribute(LCConstants.ARRAY_COURSE_TYPE_BEAN,
arrCourseTypeBean);

   CourseDAO courseDAO = new CourseDAO(request);
   CourseBean courseBean =  (CourseBean)
courseDAO.hydrate(LCDAO.SELECT_SINGLE_STP, courseFormBean);
   session.setAttribute("courseBean", courseBean);

   return (mapping.findForward(LCConstants.ACTION_SUCCESS));
 }
}

I don't know why my course Bean using tags is empty and if I use
request.getAttribute and then use coursebean.get..., gives me value.

What am I missing.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Jill.
