AW: exception with automatic formbean population

Hi Emmanuel,

The reason of the error is: XML names cannot contain the character "(".

One solution would be to replace the Map with a List. Check out the
strutscx-demo.war for an respective example. - Maybe there are other
solutions, too. But keep in mind: StrutsCXStandardDocumentBuilder will
try to make XML elements out of the Request's parameter names.

Hope this is of help for you.

Regards,

Berny

Betreff: [Strutscx-user] exception with automatic formbean population

Hi All,
 
I use a formbean that retrieves information passed in a form, like this
:
 
public class InfoFormBean extends StrutsCXValidatorForm {
...
    private final Map values = new HashMap();

    public void setValue(String key, Object value) {
        logger.debug("key:"+key);
        values.put(key, value);
    }

    public Object getValue(String key) {
        
        return values.get(key);
    }
...
}
 
##and my form looks like :
<form ...>
<input name="value(key1)" 
        type="text" />
<input name="value(prop1)" 
        type="text" /> ...
</form>
 
 
##The formbean is populated alright. The associated action is called and
execute is code also.
##But after the action executes its forward to another page, I get the
following exception :
 
2004-01-10 22:04:02,158 DEBUG - [StrutsCXStandardDocumentBuilder]
CONSTRUCT request Parameter: action = UPDATE
2004-01-10 22:04:02,158 DEBUG - [StrutsCXStandardDocumentBuilder]
CONSTRUCT request Parameter: value(key1) = townname
MonitorFilter::Error: The name "value(key2)" is not legal for JDOM/XML
elements: XML names cannot contain the character "(".
MonitorFilter::A web application object caused an exception
MonitorFilter::org.jdom.IllegalNameException: The name "value(key2)" is
not legal for JDOM/XML elements: XML names cannot contain the character
"(".
        at org.jdom.Element.setName(Element.java:217)
        at org.jdom.Element.<init>(Element.java:145)
        at org.jdom.Element.<init>(Element.java:158)
        etc....
 
##I tried to reset the formbean before doing the forward, but the error
is exactly the same.
I do not need this information (value(key2)) anymore at that time. 
How could I get rid of that ?
 
Thanks in advance.
Emmanuel
