Question

I just got help with the following Struts2 form in my JSP. No values are being displayed. Can anyone help?

<s:iterator value="bulletins">
    <s:if test="approved == false">
        <s:form action="ApproveBulletin" method="post">
            <table>
                <tr>
                    <td colspan="2"><b>From:</b> <s:property value="name" /></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td colspan="2"><b>Subject:</b> <s:property value="subject" /></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td colspan="2"><b>Date:</b> <s:property value="date" /> <br>
                    </td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td colspan="2"><s:property value="note" />
                        <s:hidden name="id" value="id" /></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td><s:submit type="button" value="approve" label="Approve"
                        action="ApproveBuletin" /></td>
                    <td><s:submit type="button" value="deny" label="Deny"
                        action="DenyBulletin" /></td>
                </tr>
            </table>
            <br />
        </s:form>
    </s:if>
</s:iterator>

This is the code from my action class that passes my iterator to my JSP.

public String execute() {
    BulletinDAO bulletinDAOInstance = new BulletinDAO();

    List<Bulletin> bulletins = bulletinDAOInstance.getAllBulletins();
    if (bulletins != null) {
        HttpSession session = (HttpSession) request.getSession();
        session.setAttribute("bulletins", bulletins.iterator());
        return "success";
    }

    return "failure";
}

Here is the code I used to finally get the id variable to render in the hidden tag. It didn’t need much.

<s:hidden name="id" value="%{id}" /></td>
