上一篇博客主要是讲解ActionServlet中的一个方法processActionForm，当我们在截取字符串，再根据字符串取得ActionMapping之后，我们就要用利用ActionMapping来创建ActionForm，并且把ActionForm放到request或session中管理。获得ActionForm之后，我们就要将ActionForm中的数据放到Mapping中，以便实例化Action。在Struts中有一个方法是专门把ActionForm的数据放到Mapping的，这个方法就是processPopulate。今天我们就来详细来看看这个方法。
首先这个方法主要的功能是将表单数据放到Map中，并且将Map的值根据ActionForm类型转换好后设置到ActionForm中。
这个方法具体的流程是首先执行ActionForm中的reset方法进行重置，然后得到表单中所有输入域的name名称，再调用request.getParameterValues(),根据name名称得到相应的值，最后将表单中的数据全部放到一个map中，map的key为表单输入域的名称，map的value为表单输入域的值（字符串数组），接下来调用一个第三方组件BeanUtils，将Map中的值，根据ActionForm中的类型先转换好，再调用ActionForm中的setter方法设置到ActionForm上。
下面咱们来跟随源代码来看看这个方法的实现过程.首先还是和以前博客一样设置断点，进入process方法，找到processPopulate方法：
进入这个方法，看到这个方法的实现源代码：
protectedvoid processPopulate(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response,
ActionForm form,
ActionMapping mapping)
throws ServletException {
if (form == null) {
return;
}
// Populate the bean properties of this ActionForm instance
if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
log.debug(" Populating bean properties from this request");
}
form.setServlet(this.servlet);
form.reset(mapping, request);
if (mapping.getMultipartClass() != null) {
request.setAttribute(Globals.MULTIPART_KEY,
mapping.getMultipartClass());
}
RequestUtils.populate(form, mapping.getPrefix(), mapping.getSuffix(),
request);
// Set the cancellation request attribute if appropriate
if ((request.getParameter(Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY) != null) ||
(request.getParameter(Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY_X) != null)) {
request.setAttribute(Globals.CANCEL_KEY, Boolean.TRUE);
}
}
其中，form.reset(mapping, request);这个方法就是讲form重置，作用是使ActionForm中的值恢复初始状态。
下面RequestUtils.populate(form, mapping.getPrefix(), mapping.getSuffix()这个方法就是要完成填充map和转换类型等操作的，具体实现：
publicstaticvoid populate(
Object bean,
String prefix,
String suffix,
HttpServletRequest request)
throws ServletException {
// Build a list of relevant request parameters from this request
HashMap properties = new HashMap();
// Iterator of parameter names
Enumeration names = null;
// Map for multipart parameters
Map multipartParameters = null;
String contentType = request.getContentType();
String method = request.getMethod();
boolean isMultipart = false;
if (bean instanceof ActionForm) {
((ActionForm) bean).setMultipartRequestHandler(null);
}
MultipartRequestHandler multipartHandler = null;
if ((contentType != null)
&& (contentType.startsWith("multipart/form-data"))
&& (method.equalsIgnoreCase("POST"))) {
// Get the ActionServletWrapper from the form bean
ActionServletWrapper servlet;
if (bean instanceof ActionForm) {
servlet = ((ActionForm) bean).getServletWrapper();
} else {
thrownew ServletException(
"bean that's supposed to be "
+ "populated from a multipart request is not of type "
+ "\"org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm\", but type "
+ "\""
+ bean.getClass().getName()
+ "\"");
}
// Obtain a MultipartRequestHandler
multipartHandler = getMultipartHandler(request);
if (multipartHandler != null) {
isMultipart = true;
// Set servlet and mapping info
servlet.setServletFor(multipartHandler);
multipartHandler.setMapping(
(ActionMapping) request.getAttribute(Globals.MAPPING_KEY));
// Initialize multipart request class handler
multipartHandler.handleRequest(request);
//stop here if the maximum length has been exceeded
Boolean maxLengthExceeded =
(Boolean) request.getAttribute(
MultipartRequestHandler.ATTRIBUTE_MAX_LENGTH_EXCEEDED);
if ((maxLengthExceeded != null) && (maxLengthExceeded.booleanValue())) {
((ActionForm) bean).setMultipartRequestHandler(multipartHandler);
return;
}
//retrieve form values and put into properties
multipartParameters = getAllParametersForMultipartRequest(
request, multipartHandler);
names = Collections.enumeration(multipartParameters.keySet());
}
}
if (!isMultipart) {
names = request.getParameterNames();
}
while (names.hasMoreElements()) {
String name = (String) names.nextElement();
String stripped = name;
if (prefix != null) {
if (!stripped.startsWith(prefix)) {
continue;
}
stripped = stripped.substring(prefix.length());
}
if (suffix != null) {
if (!stripped.endsWith(suffix)) {
continue;
}
stripped = stripped.substring(0, stripped.length() - suffix.length());
}
Object parameterValue = null;
if (isMultipart) {
parameterValue = multipartParameters.get(name);
} else {
parameterValue = request.getParameterValues(name);
}
// Populate parameters, except "standard" struts attributes
// such as 'org.apache.struts.action.CANCEL'
if (!(stripped.startsWith("org.apache.struts."))) {
properties.put(stripped, parameterValue);
}
}
// Set the corresponding properties of our bean
try {
BeanUtils.populate(bean, properties);
} catch(Exception e) {
thrownew ServletException("BeanUtils.populate", e);
} finally {
if (multipartHandler != null) {
// Set the multipart request handler for our ActionForm.
// If the bean isn't an ActionForm, an exception would have been
// thrown earlier, so it's safe to assume that our bean is
// in fact an ActionForm.
((ActionForm) bean).setMultipartRequestHandler(multipartHandler);
}
}
}
这段实现的前半部分是关于上传的代码，因为咱们这个实例不和上传有关，所以直接忽略，直接到
if (!isMultipart) {
names = request.getParameterNames();
}这段代码，这段代码主要是获得表单的所有名称，之后通过下面这段代码：
while (names.hasMoreElements()) {
String name = (String) names.nextElement();
String stripped = name;
if (prefix != null) {
if (!stripped.startsWith(prefix)) {
continue;
}
stripped = stripped.substring(prefix.length());
}
if (suffix != null) {
if (!stripped.endsWith(suffix)) {
continue;
}
stripped = stripped.substring(0, stripped.length() - suffix.length());
}
Object parameterValue = null;
if (isMultipart) {
parameterValue = multipartParameters.get(name);
} else {
parameterValue = request.getParameterValues(name);
}
// Populate parameters, except "standard" struts attributes
// such as 'org.apache.struts.action.CANCEL'
if (!(stripped.startsWith("org.apache.struts."))) {
properties.put(stripped, parameterValue);
}
}遍历名称，并且通过parameterValue = request.getParameterValues(name);获得名称对应的value值，之后通过
if (!(stripped.startsWith("org.apache.struts."))) {
properties.put(stripped, parameterValue);
}
将名称作为key值，讲名称的value值作为value值添加到map中，到此为止，我们就讲表单数据添加到了map中。
随后，调用第三方的组件来实现类型转换：
try {
BeanUtils.populate(bean, properties);
} catch(Exception e) {
thrownew ServletException("BeanUtils.populate", e);
} finally {
if (multipartHandler != null) {
// Set the multipart request handler for our ActionForm.
// If the bean isn't an ActionForm, an exception would have been
// thrown earlier, so it's safe to assume that our bean is
// in fact an ActionForm.
((ActionForm) bean).setMultipartRequestHandler(multipartHandler);
}
}这个方法会遍历ActionForm的值的类型，并且讲Map中的值的类型改为和ActionForm对应的类型。
到这里processPopulate的方法就实现完毕，实现了这个方法有什么用处呢？敬请等待下一篇博文！
