[Opensource] How to retrieve session variables in ActionForm object

[Wise, Malcolm]

Vinod,

There are two basic ways to achieve this.  Either obtain the Collection
containing the data for the <html:options> from the session in the Struts
Action class (or Expresso Controller), and populate a Collection variable on
the ActionForm associated with the Action class.  If you are using struts
<html:form> tags then the jsp that you forward to can access the field from
the ActionForm in the <html:options> tag.  Alternatively, you can  access
the session variable in the jsp directly in the <html:options> tag.
For details on the various methods you can use, go to

HTH,
Malc

How to get objects stored in session object in objects extended from
ActionForm class [ in struts framework].

I need to build a <html:options> list in a jsp page, which has a
corresponding ActionForm object
and within that object I need to access some object already stored in
session object.

As per my knowledge we do not have access to Request or Session object
within ActionForm object.

Please help me.

Regards,
Vinod
