Tag form

Define An Input Form

Renders an HTML <form> element whose contents are described by the body content of this tag. The form implicitly interacts with the specified request scope or session scope bean to populate the input fields with the current property values from the bean.

The form bean is located, and created if necessary, based on the form bean specification for the associated ActionMapping.

The URL to which this form will be submitted. This value is also used to select the ActionMapping we are assumed to be processing, from which we can identify the appropriate form bean and scope. If a value is not provided, the original URI (servletPath) for the request is used.

If you are using extension mapping for selecting the controller servlet, this value should be equal to the path attribute of the corresponding <action> element, optionally followed by the correct extension suffix.

If you are using path mapping to select the controller servlet, this value should be exactly equal to the path attribute of the corresponding <action> element.
