Unable Submit Form Value to Action when running struts-portlet in OracleAS

Question

Hi,I have develop a portlet using struts & pdk, after that deploy it by OC4J and register the
provider at Oracle Application Server 10g 10.1.2.2.
However the formbean value is unable passing to action after clicking submit button,this problem
doesn't comeout when i run my code as stand alone application.
here is my application code:
1. Action Class:
public class ZoneAction
  extends DispatchAction
  public ActionForward display(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
                               HttpServletRequest request,
                               HttpServletResponse response)
    throws IOException, ServletException
    ZoneHibernate zh = new ZoneHibernate();
    List list = zh.retrieveAllZone();
    ZoneForms zf = new ZoneForms();
    ZoneForm blankForm = new ZoneForm();
    list.add(blankForm);
    zf.setZoneForms(list);
    request.setAttribute("zoneForms", zf);
    return mapping.findForward("success");
2.Provider.xml:
<provider class="oracle.portal.provider.v2.DefaultProviderDefinition">
   <session>true</session>
   <passAllUrlParams>true</passAllUrlParams>
   <portlet class="oracle.portal.provider.v2.DefaultPortletDefinition">
      <id>1</id>
      <name>irmsPortlet</name>
      <title>iRMS Portlet</title>
      <description></description>
      <timeout>40</timeout>
      <showEditToPublic>false</showEditToPublic>
      <hasAbout>false</hasAbout>
      <showEdit>false</showEdit>
      <hasHelp>false</hasHelp>
      <showEditDefault>false</showEditDefault>
      <showDetails>false</showDetails>
      <renderer class="oracle.portal.provider.v2.render.RenderManager">
         <renderContainer>true</renderContainer>
         <renderCustomize>true</renderCustomize>
         <autoRedirect>true</autoRedirect>
         <contentType>text/html</contentType>
         <showPage class="oracle.portal.provider.v2.render.http.StrutsRenderer">
         <defaultAction>/jsp/zone_maintenance.jsp</defaultAction>
         </showPage>
      </renderer>
   </portlet>
</provider>
3. Action Mapping in struts-cofig.xml:
  <action-mappings>
    <action path="/ZoneMaintenance"
            type="my.com.irms.action.ZoneAction"
            name="zoneForms"
            scope="request"
            parameter="action"
            input="/jsp/zone_maintenance.jsp">
      <forward name="success" path="/jsp/zone_maintenance.jsp"/>
    </action>
  </action-mappings>
4.jsp:
<pdk-html:form action="/ZoneMaintenance.do">
-div id="action"-<pdk-html:hidden name="zoneForms" property="action"/>-/div-
<logic:notEmpty name="zoneForms" property="zoneForms">
<table border="1">
<thead>
            <tr>
                <th><bean:message key="zone.zone"/></th>
                <th><bean:message key="zone.disc"/></th>
           </tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<logic:iterate id="zone" name="zoneForms" property="zoneForms" indexId="i">
            <tr id="tr${i}">   
                <td>
                  <pdk-html:hidden name="zoneForms"
                                  property="zoneForms[${i}].rowStatus" value=""/>
                  <pdk-html:hidden name="zoneForms" property="zoneForms[${i}].id"/>
                  <input type="checkbox" onclick="update()">
                </td>
                <td><pdk-html:text name="zoneForms"
                                       property="zoneForms[${i}].zone" size="10"       
                                       onchange="rowDataChanged('tb1',${i})"/></td>
                <td><pdk-html:text name="zoneForms"
                                       property="zoneForms[${i}].disc" size="30" 
                                       onchange="rowDataChanged('tb1',${i})"/></td>
            </tr>
</logic:iterate>
</tbody>
</table>
<input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="submitForm('save')"/>
</logic:notEmpty>
<input type="button" value="Display" onclick="submitForm('display')"/>
</pdk-html:form>
5.javascript for submitForm():
  function submitForm(param)
        document.getElementById("action")
       .getElementsByTagName("input")[0].value = param;
        document.forms[0].submit();

Can anyone help me? thanks.

Answer 1

It is probably easier to do with with a standard tag than the <html:button> tag, as it means you can nest the
<input type="button" name="more" value="more" onclick="setID(<bean:write name="bloodbankList" property="id"/>)"/>or maybe like this:
<bean:define id="bbId" name="bloodbankList" property="id"/>
<html:button property="More" value="More" style="color: #00007D; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 2pt; background-color: #6B719C; border: 2 solid #00007D"   onclick="<%= "setID(" + id + ");" %>" />Cheers,
