Description

If I use a button tag in a form to cancel and the action of that button points to an action that doesn't declare a form bean, I get a RuntimeException for every field in the form. The exceptions seem harmless, but I would rather not have the exception or have a single, specific exception.

I will attach the stack trace that I got using the following code:

— in the JSP
<netui:button type="submit" value="submit"/>
<netui:button action="cancel" type="submit" value="cancel"/>
</netui:form></p>
—

— in the controller
@Jpf.SimpleAction( name="cancel", returnAction="newProductCancel" )
}
—

The obvious work-around (and probably correct use of the cancel action in this case) work fine, so this isn't recorded as a bug against Beehive.

— the 'correct' controller code
@Jpf.Action(
forwards=

{ @Jpf.Forward(name="success", returnAction="newProductCancel") }

,
useFormBean="newProductForm"
)
protected Forward cancel( NewProductForm newProductForm ) {
return new Forward( "success" );
}
