Form Action not resolving

[Rahul]

From my login page, after successful login, i have a search page.
On sucessful login I do

newTemplate = getHtmlTemplate("search");

to get the search page.

On the search page I am doing something like this

<form name="search" action="[!V 'SUBMISSION:FORM:search'/]"
method="get">
<span[!V 'MARK:criteria'][!/V]>Search Criteria</span>
<input type="text" name="search" value="${v PARAM:search}${/v}" /><br /
><br />

<input type="submit" value="Search" /><br />

</form>

the problem is action is not resloving to search action.
On clicking the search button i get something like this

http://localhost:8080/rife-jumpstart/[!V%20'SUBMISSION:FORM:search'/]?search=

Some enlightment needed.... :) considering the fact that i am a newbie
to this stuff

For forms to be auto-generated, you need to have a submission bean
registered with that element or you have to call generateForm
explicitly. See the docs here: http://rifers.org/wiki/display/RIFE/Forms

thanks Geert for your reply.... taking the first option that you
suggested
of registering the submission bean with that element.. i tried it with

<submission name="search">
<bean name="search" classname="hotelbooking.elements.SearchCriteria"/
>
<!-- <param name="search"/>-->
</submission>

defined under that element.

I am getting this error:-

com.uwyn.rife.engine.exceptions.EngineException: The template value
'SUBMISSION:PARAMS:search'
nor 'SUBMISSION:PARAMSJS:search'are not present.
Replacement of the template value 'SUBMISSION:FORM:search' alone is
not sufficient.


Talking about the second option of using generateForm

In my login class just after successful authentication I tried with

generateForm(newTemplate, user);

i still get the same thing

http://localhost:8080/rife-jumpstart/[!V%20'SUBMISSION:FORM:search'/]?search=

:(

That error message says exactly what you need to do, you need to
include those value tags so that RIFE can generate the hidden form
parameters it needs.

yes, but where exactly and how i can include those value tags?

[Geert Bevin]

Anywhere within the <form> ... </form> tags, they will be replaced
with hidden params. Just add them as value tags in the template.

[Rahul]

Yes Geert , I got it working.

Here comes another issue.. :)

I am fetching records from db and displaying those on the template
like this:-

<td><r:v name="name"/></td>
<td><r:v name="address"/></td>
<td><r:v name="description"/></td>
<td><a href="show?id=${v hotel_id/}">View Hotel</a></td>
<td><a href="edit?id=${v hotel_id/}">Edit Hotel</a></td>
<td><a href="delete?id=${v hotel_id/}">Delete Hotel</a></td>

Here i am passing the hotel_id to perform the desired action like
viewing the hotel for that particular hotel_id or edit or delete.

I am not getting as to where i need to these actions show, edit or
delete
for that matter. Or may be my approach is wrong.

Please guide me through this.
