How to map fields and Actions

[zooxmusic]

Hi again,
I have another probably simple challenge that I need help on. I am now starting to utilitze the AbstractAction in java. I now am thinking if I have a DlgInput of some sort, how do I get the data that was typed in to the action? Or do I take care of that elsewhere? I was thinking something like a FormData class that will hold the filds I need and then somehow map those to the fields on the DlgInput but I am unsure of how that would work and maybe it won't. Any help would be appreciated.

You could use the putValue(String key, Object value) method of the Action interface to pass the data into the Action implementation. This can then be retrieved in the ActionListener using the getValue(String key) method. Some keys are already defined in the Action class, but you could define your own.

Sorry Tim,
I actually wrote it for a collegue and I actually think it is very related to what Ed is trying to do in the next post. I haven't been working on this so I apologize. I will find out and let you know.
