To answer this question, let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:
Option A) Overriding the populate method of the ActionForm - This option is incorrect. In Struts 1.1, the populate
method of the ActionForm
is used to populate the form properties with the request parameters. However, this method is not used to change how Struts populates a form.
Option B) Overriding the processPopulate method of the Request Processor - This option is correct. In Struts 1.1, you can change how Struts populates a form by overriding the processPopulate
method of the Request Processor. The Request Processor is responsible for populating the form properties with the request parameters, and by overriding this method, you can customize the population logic.
Option C) Overriding the populateBean method of the ActionMapping - This option is incorrect. The populateBean
method of the ActionMapping
class is not used to change how Struts populates a form in Struts 1.1.
Option D) None - This option is incorrect. As mentioned above, in Struts 1.1, you can change how Struts populates a form by overriding the processPopulate
method of the Request Processor.
The correct answer is B) Overriding the processPopulate method of the Request Processor. This option is correct because it allows you to customize how Struts populates a form in Struts 1.1.
