I've got an object in my form that contains various string properties.
When I want to print it in my JSP form I could do it with
<c:out value="${form.company.address}" />
which works perfectly.
Now I want to create an HTML input field. But when I write
<html:text property="company.address" />
I get an error saying
Caused by: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: No getter method for property company.address of bean org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN
Do you know how I can create an HTML input field with my company's address?
My bean's got the necessary corresponding getters and setters.
The correct way of translating this:
<c:out value="${UFForm.company.address}" />
to Struts is,
<html:text name="UFForm" property="company.address">
It means that there's a request with name UFForm
with a bean that contains a method getCompany()
(which I'm assuming returns a Company
object) and that in turns has a getAddress()
getter (if you understand what I mean). In a nutshell, the bean from request/session UFForm
, the TagLib is accessing getCompany().getAddress()
;
PS Hope that getAddress()
doesn't return a null else <html:text />
will throw an exception.
Edit To explain what I did above:
public class Company implements Serializable {
private String address;
//Setter
public void setAddress(String address) {
this.address = address;
}
//Getter
public String getAddress() { return this.address; }
}
public class UFForm implements Serializable {
private Company company;
public void setCompany(Company company) {
this.company = company;
}
public void getCompany() {
if (this.company == null) {
setCompany(new Company());
}
return this.company;
}
}
What I did above in <html:text />
is equivalent to
UFForm ufForm = ....;
String property = ufForm.getCompany().getAddress();
