Question

I have 2 Action classes : LoadingFormAction.java and FormValidationAction.java. In the first one, I create the functions which help in uploading data from an Excel file, and in the second I need to validate the loaded data according to the other fields values. LoadingFormAction.java control the view Form.jsp and FormValidationAction.java the view FormValidation.jsp. My question is : How to evaluate the attributes of the first action and use them in the second Action?? Is it obligatory to pass it as a session parameter? Thank you a lot.

Answer 1

<action name="LoadingFormActionName" class="com.test.LoadingFormAction">
    <result name="success" type="redirectAction">
        <param name="actionName">FormValidationActionName</param>
        <param name="yourProperty">${yourProperty}</param>
    </result>
</action> 

Where yourProperty is the parameter of your LoadingFormAction class which you want to pass
to FormValidationAction class. You need to declare getter/setter for this variable in both the classes. Also, LoadingFormActionNameand FormValidationActionName are the corresponding action names.
