[smartweb-user] [Smartweb-user] How to use DynaActionForm with nested beans

[Pino C. <gco...@gm...>]

Hy all,

while using valorize or populate Action method I noticed it doesn't
valorizes/populates nested bean's properties.


I try to report an example using registry module :
For I.e :
Person is composed by a  Name so..how can i populate/valorize its properties
?

I use a <formbean> in struts.xml defined in this way :
<form-bean name="contactForm" 
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
	<form-property name="id" type="java.lang.String"/>
	<form-property name="firstname" type="java.lang.String"/>
	<form-property name="lastname" type="java.lang.String" />
        <form-property name="age" type="java.lang.String" />
</form-bean>
				
.....
.....
PersonAction 

public String select(ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response, ActionMapping mapping) throws ActionException
{
         String id = request.getParameter("id");
         Person customer;
         if (id != null && !id.equals("0")) {
            customer = (Person)
net.smartlab.web.registry.Domain.getInstance().findEntry(id);
            super.populate(form, customer, Locale.ITALY);
	    //I would like to avoid this part of code
            //DynaActionForm dform = (DynaActionForm) form;
            //if (customer.getName() != null) {
		//dform.set("firstname", customer.getName().getFirstname());
		//dform.set("lastname", customer.getName().getLastname());
	    //}
            ......
}

I would like to avoid commented code ,delegating super.populate to do it. 
Is it possible?
There some method that I don't know ?

Waiting for replay...
Thanks
