Field Detail

HANDLERPARAM_PREFIX

public static final java.lang.String HANDLERPARAM_PREFIX

In order to make the form-to-handler parameter transfer easier, we prefix all user-specified FORM element names with HANDLERPARAM_PREFIX the HTML output. This lets us differentiate user-defined FormHandler parameters from Form parameters. The submit handler must then use MapUtil.requestToMap() to strip them before executing the handler itself.

FORM_VALUES_CARRIER

public static final java.lang.String FORM_VALUES_CARRIER

The submit servlet may decide to store a FormInfo with user-entered form values in the Session. It should use this name, and this class checks for it to pre-fill fields from a previous form submit.

If set to 'handler' in output element, the handler plugin is called even on first invocation (no submit). The plugin can then place values into its parameter map, and these are seen by subsequent Form elements. (Store a value in the plugin with the same key as an input element, and the value will be visible in the initial form.)
