In the plugin XML file via bean and constant configs:

<bean name="rest"
   type="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.ActionMapper"
   class="org.apache.struts2.rest.RestActionMapper" />

and

<constant name="struts.mapper.class" value="rest" />

Dave

That's what I expected to find but instead found this:

<struts>
  <bean type="com.opensymphony.xwork2.UnknownHandler"
class="org.apache.struts2.codebehind.CodebehindUnknownHandler" />
  <bean type="com.opensymphony.xwork2.config.PackageProvider"
name="codebehind" class="org.apache.struts2.config.ClasspathPackageProvider"
/>

  <constant name="struts.codebehind.pathPrefix" value="/"/>
  <constant name="struts.codebehind.defaultPackage"
value="codebehind-default"/>
  <constant name="struts.mapper.alwaysSelectFullNamespace" value="true" />

  <package name="codebehind-default" extends="struts-default">
  </package>  
</struts>

Are you looking at the source in
/struts-2.1.2/src/plugins/rest/src/main/java?

No, I had been looking in trunk.

S2.1.2, however, doesn't differ from trunk w.r.t. the action mapper (see appended diff). The config file wouldn't be in the Java directory, either; config files are in the resource directory--not sure what you're looking at.

Scott,

The CodebehindUnknownHandler sort of does the work of the action mapper.
Think of it this way, instead of throwing a 404, the request is handled
by CodebehindUnknownHandler which will find the action/result using it's
own semantics. This allows regular struts.xml configuration at the same
time as Codebehind conventions.

With all those scriptlets, mixing of taglib and RT expression values,
and the relevant Java code not included, it's a little difficult to see
exactly what you're attempting.

I'm assuming MyFormBean.duration's type is a custom enumeration with
with a getLabel() method, and that you want to use the label associated
with each enum value as both the label and value of the select options?
but you're using the enum value directly in the html:select?

It looks like it would be a lot cleaner and easier to handle the
conversion to and from enum values in your action, and let the form bean
and JSP deal with a simple list of Strings.

i'm just trying to get the duration from the FormBean, compare it with the
other possible values from the Enum type and show only certain values as
options of the combo

Any Ajax library will let you accomplish that pretty easily, but you
said 'something based on tags,' so I assume you are looking for a JSP
tag library rather than a Javascript library?

I haven't used it, but maybe Java Web Parts [1] or Ajax Tags [2] would
have what you need? Or try googling for suggestions:

http://www.google.com/search?q=%27Struts+1%27+Ajax+taglib

[1] http://javawebparts.sourceforge.net/
[2] http://struts.sourceforge.net/ajaxtags/index.html

L.

FYI, AjaxTags hasn't been supported or developed in a couple of years
(the AjaxTags Laurie refers to here I mean... there's a whole AjaxTags
project separate from this that's still very much alive).

AjaxTags evolved into the AjaxParts Taglib, or APT for short, which is a
component of Java Web Parts (JWP), as Laurie mentioned. If you (or
anyone else) goes down this path I STRONGLY suggest NOT using AjaxTags
at struts.sourceforge.net because it won't be supported (by me as the
original author at least... others may decide to).

APT on the other hand is 100% supported, has a decent community (not the
largest, but quite helpful and I'm proud to say, from all evidence,
quite happy with the product) and is still actively being developed
(although the pace has definitely slowed of late). Also note that it is
completely framework-agnostic (use it with S1, S2, or virtually any
other JSP-based framework) and is immensely more powerful and flexiible
than AjaxTags ever was.

To be sure, do an Export of the WAR file and verify the jar file is in
WEB-INF/lib.

That's not really what he's asking. He's asking if the request is being
made NOW, with the app in the current state. I assume you're using
Firebug. If you're not, fix that. You can see from that whether it
made the request or not, and what data was sent, not to mention any
response that was sent back.

So it is not in the J2EE modeule dependencies. Right-click your
project, and click in "J2EE Module Dependencies" and make sure the
json plugin jar is selected.

Folks, this type of nested resource is how a Rails REST url work and its
awesome. So easy to configure and so easy to use with things like

  link_to :chapter_path(@(protected))

That will make the /book/book.getId()/chapter/chapter.getId() url.  There
is no doubt that providing nested resources would make the REST
implementation in Struts2 better.

You are looking at the url from right to left. The first resource has a
parameter of id, and then for each level up the tree you get object_id for
the parameter.  

So if I post a get for /book/1/section/2/chapter/12 I would get the
following parameters sent to the ChapterContoller: (id = 12, section_id = 2,
book_id = 1).

In apps with a REST design I only really need to know the parent in the url
when I am creating a child. So to use the book example,
(/chapters/new?parent_id=1). Once my chapter is created it is forever
connected to the book with id 1. After I create a chapter I can reference
it directly by its id (/chapter/22) and if I want the book I can do a
chapter.getBook() once I look up the chapter in the controller. I don't
really have many situations where something doesn't have a unique id and has
to be looked up with a combo of parent_id and child
number?position?whatever?

I don't think its useful to argue about what a "true" RESTful URL looks
like.

Yeah, I use this feature heavily to support URIs matching Mike's
requirement.

in struts.xml
<bean type="com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.PatternMatcher"

class="com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.NamedVariablePatternMatcher"/>

in *actions.*.ChapterContoller.java

public class ChapterController implements ModelDriven<Chapter> {

private void setBookId(Long id) {...}
private void setId(Long id) { ..}
private Chapter getModel() {...}

public HttpHeaders show() {
  model = bookService.lookupChapter(bookid, id);
  if (model != null) {
   return new DefaultHttpHeaders("show");
  } else {
   return new DefaultHttpHeaders("error");
  }
}
public HttpHeaders index() {...}
}

and

Thank you for the reply.
I tried your solution and the action is invoked..the problem is that,using
the standard html anchor, the parameters are not passed to my action.

Did you check the result of s:url? Either the URL was not constructed
correctly (the parameters weren't appended in the query string) or
something went wrong applying the parameters when the request was made.

Determine where it failed, and that will tell you where to focus on
debugging further.

Ok. I will check this..
Anyway, with the s:a struts anchor, the url parameters are correctly
passed.

Hi,

I need a little hint how I can achieve the following...
Right now I got a page with a <sx:tree ...> where the user can browse
categories. When a node is clicked a <div id="documentList" ...> loads
another page with a listing of documents in that category. (Just like in
the showcase example but with a little more information in the div)
Every document(-link) should notify another topic that forces a third
<div id="documentContent" ..."> in the page to show the content of the
document.

And thats where my problem occurs. In the document list I got the
following link for every document

<sx:a notifyTopics="documentSelected"><s:property value="Name" /></sx:a>

Where should I place the code? In the page where the tree and the divs
are, or in the page that is loaded after selecting a node?

  dojo.event.topic.subscribe("documentSelected", function
documentSelected(node) {
     alert(node);    
  });

And maybe more important - I derived the subscribe code from the
nodeSelected example - is it correct that this function has also just
one parameter???

Any help apreciated!

Regards
Jan Froehlich

I don't think it really matters where you put the code (topic
subscription), but it will be easier to put it in the main page that
has the tree.

Hi Musachy,

thanks for that hint, I tried both, but if you say that it doesn't matter I might have another problem - it worked with neither solution.

Do you think that
<sx:a notifyTopics="documentSelected"><s:property value="Name" /></sx:a>
should be enough to trigger that topic update??

Thanks in advance!

Jan Froehlich

Well, now I see something I missed before. notifyTopics are triggered
when an "ajax" request is done, which is not the case here (there is
no href), so I think the topics won't be triggered in that case. One
of the many things you can do is:

<a onclick="dojo.event.topic.publish('documentSelected'); return false">....

You are not really taking advantage of the functionality of the <sx:a
tag, so you can use a regular anchor for that part.

"Hey you! Would you help me to carry the stone?" Pink Floyd

Perfect, that solves most of the problems I had.
Thank you!!!
- but one thing is finally left. ;)

When I subscribe to a topic with something like
dojo.event.topic.subscribe("documentSelected", function documentSelected(doc) {
 alert(doc);
});
then doc is a object. What kind of object is that, when I notify the topic from a common <a ...> tag?

Kind regards
Jan

More than one year later, I have the exact same problem.

If the original poster has found a solution, or if anyone else knows how to
solve this issue, I'd be very glad!

I have tried Action Chaining the result:
@Result(name="input",type=ActionChainResult.class,value="product" ,params=
{"method","getOne"}),

However, Struts will try to find the "input" result of the chained action
(product), and will never reach the method.

I'm trying to add a tooltip to an s:a tag. I couldn't get the tooltip
attribute to work so now I am trying to get a tooltip via an onmouseover
Javascript. The Javascript code works and I get my tooltip but the text
in the tooltip I want when I create the s:a tag.

Here is my code:

<s:iterator value="codes">
  <s:a href="#" onmouseover="ddrivetip('${codeDescription}', 300)"
onmouseout="hideddrivetip()">
    <s:property value="code"/>
  </s:a>
</s:iterator>


My problem is the ${codeDescription} in the onmouseover attribute.

The compiler is giving me this error:

"According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute
onmouseover does not accept any expressions"

How do I get the value of the field codeDescription to print into my
onmouseover script?

Thanks in advance,
James

Hi,

Try

<s:iterator value="codes">
<s:a href="#" onmouseover="ddrivetip('%{codeDescription}', 300)"
onmouseout="hideddrivetip()">
  <s:property value="code"/>
</s:a>
</s:iterator>

Thank you!

I don't really know if you can change this default, but here is a workaround:

Write a custom interceptor that each time your action result is LIST,
you change it to SUCCESS.

This way you could leave your result tags untouched. However, right
now I could not imagine the value of doing that.

I guessed it's not modifiable but I figured I'd ask to make sure.

I like the work-around, hadn't thought of it. I'd probably use it if the default
result name was going to be configurable in the future (guess there's a patch
waiting to be coded there).

For now though I just hard coded the name attribute on all my results, not big
deal.

The reason I asked is that I'm building the example app based on a struts-based
package, so I was aiming for the ideal.

Thanks
Adam
