java.lang.Object org.apache.velocity.tools.struts.FormTool
@DefaultKey(value="form") @ValidScope(value="request") public class FormTool
View tool to work with HTML forms in Struts.
Struts has support to parse incoming HTTP requests and populate a Java bean with the submitted request parameters. The same Java bean is used to populate forms with initial values. Additionally, a hook allows the application developer to include automatic form validation code.
FormTool provides miscellaneous methods to work with forms and form bean in the context of Struts applications.
Template example(s): <input type="hidden" name="$form.tokenName" value="$form.token"> <input type="submit" name="$form.cancelName" value="Cancel"> Toolbox configuration: <tools> <toolbox scope="request"> <tool class="org.apache.velocity.tools.struts.FormTool"/> </toolbox> </tools>
This tool may only be used in the request scope.

- if the param is not a ViewContextpublic org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm getBean()
Returns the form bean associated with this action mapping.
This is a convenience method. The form bean is automatically available in the Velocity context under the name defined in the Struts configuration.
If the form bean is used repeatedly, it is recommended to create a local variable referencing the bean rather than calling getBean() multiple times.
Example: #set ($defaults = $form.bean) <input type="text" name="username" value="$defaults.username">
