[Stripes-users] need some help to write a prepopulated form

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Hi Stripe users,

I need some help from more experienced Stripe users please, I just started
my first project and became stuck on that simple problem:
I want to write a form to read from and write into a database.
So I started with to prepopulate a field but do not understand the correct
Stripe-way to do it.
Instead of a prepopulation I got an override of my input, so I am quite
confused.
I want to have a field populated before it is shown to the user and then
save the new input (as everybody expects it).
What do I miss? How should I change the code beollow?
Thank you in advance!

Here is my code:

PersonActionBean:
-----------------
public class PersonActionBean implements ActionBean {
 	private String person;
	private ActionBeanContext context;

	@Before void init() {
		person = "test";
	}

	@DefaultHandler
	public Resolution show() {
		return new ForwardResolution("/show.jsp");
	}

	public Resolution save() {
		return new ForwardResolution("/save.jsp");
	}

	@Override
	public ActionBeanContext getContext() {
		return context;
	}

	@Override
	public void setContext(ActionBeanContext context) {
		this.context = context;
	}

	public String getPerson() {
		return person;
	}

	public void setPerson(String person) {
		this.person = person;
	}
}

show.jsp:
---------
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="stripes" ...%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC>
<html>
<head></head>
</body>
	<stripes:form beanclass="test.PersonActionBean">
	<stripes:text name="person"  value="${actionBean.person}" />
 	<stripes:submit name="save" value="Save" />
	<stripes:errors />
	</stripes:form>
<body>
</html>

save.jsp:
---------
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="stripes" ...%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p>person: ${actionBean.person}</p>
</body>
</html>
