Hello,
I need to put up a "Confirmation Screen" in between my input jsp and my
success jsp.

byproduct.action -> byproduct-input.jsp
byproduct-input.jsp -> confirm.jsp
(If yes...)
confirm.jsp -> byproduct.action
byproduct.action -> byproduct-success.action

Is there a Struts 2 way to carry the input parameters across the confirm.jsp
so the second call to byproduct.action has access to them?

I've looked at the ChainInterceptor and ActionChaining and have a feeling
the solution resides there, but could use a little help. I hope I was clear
enough... :)

Thanks!

The short answer is no, not without intervention from you. You will need
to arrange yourself for the data submitted from byproduct-input.jsp to
be carried over so that it's available to byproduct.action.

Two ways to do that are:

1) place an action between byproduct-input.jsp and confirm.jsp which
saves the submitted data into an object stored in the session, then
retrieve that object in byproduct-success.action

2) place hidden fields in confirm.jsp that correspond to the inputs in
byproduct-input.jsp, populating them from the request parameters. Make
sure that confirm.jsp calls byproduct.action using a form submit (not
just a link) so that the data in the hidden inputs gets sent.

You should probably be submitting byproduct-input.jsp to an action
anyway, so that you can perform validation and/or expose any additional
data that confirm.jsp might need but, other than that, the main thing
affecting which approach you choose is whether you want to use or avoid
the session.

HTH,

L.

I ended up solving the problem using an Interceptor and saving the parameter
Map to the session.

session.setAttribute("input_params", request.getParameterMap();

Then in my action I implemented SessionAware and utililized BeanUtils from
Jakarta Commons to re-populate the properties in my action class.

this.setRequestMap((Map)this.getSession().get("input_parms"));
BeanUtils.populate(this, this.getRequestMap();

Thank you for your help.

Noted, although the <s:action...> [1] and <s:url...>[2] tag documentation
does list the "namespace" attribute. I've added a task to add explicit
examples.

Correct, appending the prefix to <s:action...>, which already assumes you're
referring to an action, wouldn't work.

Well, no, "href" is for a URL, not an action, and the docs explicitly build
the URL with <s:url...>

I haven't seen that; do you have "devMode" turned on? Under what
circumstances do you get an empty browser?

[2] http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/url.html

Cool the docs would make life easier for us poor saps.

I don't think I was clear about what I am seeing. If I have an action tag in
my page like this...

<div>
<s:action name="/some-namespace/myAction" executeResult="true"/>
</div>

And a struts.xml file that defines a package with the namespace
'some-namespace' that contains an action called myAction I see no call to
the target action (I am debugging and have a breakpoint in my action). I
simply get a blank space in my output. However if I past a full url in my
browser e.g. http://x.y.org/myApp/some-namespace/myAction.action all is
well.

Weird.

Actuallt it not clear to how I might build a link to an action in a namespace
if...

/namespace/myAction doesn't work.

What AM I doing wrong?

Yeah, that's a little weird. If you turn up the logging is there anything on
the console? I mean, clearly it'll work w/ the proper use of the "namespace"
attribute etc. but something on the console might be handy if it isn't
already there.

Not using the "namespace" attribute.

Dave

http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11/docs/action.html

Did you try <s:action namespace="/some-namespace" action="myAction"
executeResult="true"/>? If the namespace of the action that renders this
page is also some-namespace you should be able to leave out the
namespace attribute, too, and just use action="myAction".

laurie,

I have examples of one page in a namespace invoking action in the same
namespace and now I know how to call across to it from my root it all looks
good.

My problem is that I want to use actions in the target namespace from my
root namespace as simple links.

so I think (being a bit of a struts 2 novice) that something like...

<div>
<a: href="some-namespace/do.action"/>other-domain
</div>

might not be reasonable.

I might also want to pass the url to some Javascript to invoke a call for
some JSON or god forfend some XML. e.g.

<s:url namespace="some-namespace" name="do" var="theURL"/>
onClick="call('<s:property name="theURL">')"

In fact I have tried this and I get the same behaviour as the div example. A
console.debug the value of the param shows a partial url in the form
"/some-namespace/do.action". But I get nothing.

However when I click such a link I get no activity at all. I have breakpoint
in first the interceptor (acegi security as it happens) but there is no call
and looking at the browser source it shows no content in the div (firefox on
linux btw).

Its just plain odd. I am gonna have to do some more looking. I just know I
am doing something wrong here and when I fing myself sniffing networks I'm
certain.

Still if I had a life I probably wouldn't care. The earch goes on:-P

Cheers,
Paul B

"anning"?

Did you get the #request issue worked out? I probably missed your followup.

d.

The problem is that you're rendering the form before you've stored
anything under #session['guide']. I assume when you say you want to
'bind the form to the object' your Ajax request places in the session,
you mean you want to populate the form fields with data from that object?

That can't work automagically, since the form is just part of the page
in the browser and has no knowledge of what might be happening to the
session over on the server.

There are a couple of approaches you can consider to get this working:

1) instead of rendering the form as part of the initial page load,
render it as the result of the Ajax request that loads the data. On the
client-side, take that response and render it directly.

2) return the data itself as the result of the Ajax request (in XML or
JSON format probably). On the client-side, take that response and use it
to populate the form you already have.

The key is that the form will not get populated with data just because
you made data available after the fact. You either must render the form
after the data is available, or perform additional processing to 'push'
the data into the form.

Laurie,

Thanks for your reply. You have nailed the problem!

It seems like the 2nd solution is the more elegant one. Are there any
reference implementations or examples you could point me to that might
show me how to populate the form using JSON data?

Subject: Re: Help with (1...N) Editing using Ajax?

The problem is that you're rendering the form before you've stored
anything under #session['guide']. I assume when you say you want to
'bind the form to the object' your Ajax request places in the session,
you mean you want to populate the form fields with data from that
object?

That can't work automagically, since the form is just part of the page
in the browser and has no knowledge of what might be happening to the
session over on the server.

There are a couple of approaches you can consider to get this working:

1) instead of rendering the form as part of the initial page load,
render it as the result of the Ajax request that loads the data. On the
client-side, take that response and render it directly.

2) return the data itself as the result of the Ajax request (in XML or
JSON format probably). On the client-side, take that response and use it

to populate the form you already have.

The key is that the form will not get populated with data just because
you made data available after the fact. You either must render the form
after the data is available, or perform additional processing to 'push'
the data into the form.

This is in no way the case.

What is disallowed in 2.0.11 is el expressions as struts tag attributes.

For completeness: you could also re-work your action to implement
SessionAware instead of using ActionContext.getContext().getSession().
Unit testing would then simply involve calling setSession() on the
action under test. The SessionAware interface exists, in part, to make
testing easier by decoupling your actions from their execution context.

I am using RAD 7.0 and targeting WebSphere 6.1 using JDK 5.0.  I
recently moved from RAD 6.0 and WAS 5.1. I removed Struts 1.1 and
Tiles 1.1 from the project facets, and then added the JARS for Apache
Tiles 2.05 and Struts 1.38 (and DisplayTag 1.1.1).

Can I use Tiles 2.05 and Struts 1.38 together?

Also, if I can, should I change this:

<tiles:insert attribute="header">
<tiles:put name="title" beanName="title" beanScope="tile" />
<tiles:put name="formDescription" beanName="formDescription"
beanScope="tile" />
<tiles:put name="formInstructions" beanName="formInstructions"
beanScope="tile" />
</tiles:insert>

to this:

<tiles:insertAttribute name="header">
<tiles:putAttribute name="title" value="${tile.title}" />
<tiles:putAttribute name="formDescription"
value="${title.formDescription}" />
<tiles:putAttribute name="formInstructions"
value="${title.formInstructions}" />
</tiles:insertAttribute>

?

I'm confused because there's only 2 of the beanXXX thigns instead of
all 3.

Yes, as long as you don't use integration code, such as forward to a
Tiles definition. There is a Struts 1/Tiles 2 plugin in the SVN trunk
for the future Struts 1.4 but we really don't know when it will be
released.

Hey all,

I don't know if tags/etc. don't come through because of my Yahoo account,
something in the list handler, or what.

Do other people have huge issues with tags dropping out (even when viewing
source) and all that? It's really frustrating.

Thanks,
Dave

At my GMail account it works perfectly.
<try>
<text>Hello</text>
<question>How do you see it?</question>
</try>

Ciao

The weird thing is that *sometimes* it works fine. Like my tags always seem
to come through, yours did now (including my paste of your email), and so on.

I guess it's a client thing and/or people are sending HTML email, etc. Total
PITA.

Thanks,
Dave

If the beans match, you could probably use commons-beanutils, but
IIRC, you'll incur a performance penalty.

http://commons.apache.org/beanutils/apidocs/org/apache/commons/beanutils/BeanUtils.html#copyProperties(java.lang.Object,%20java.lang.Object)

By doing it explicitly though, you allow yourself the room to change
your business/TO/etc. objects without the need to update your UI.

I dont like having to set up each member variable in the action with the members my class. Is it possible to somehow have Struts automatically populate an Java Object rather then the Action? I thought I remember reading about this before but I'm not sure. It's not a big deal, and I know I can use OGNL to access the value, but I wanted the convience of mapping a fieldName to my custom object. Is this possible?

Hi all,

I can't seem to get a simple Ajax based look ahead search to work. I am
trying to use AjaxTags 1.3 (http://ajaxtags.sourceforge.net/) in my
Struts2 application. What is the correct response to return? I am also
using Tiles2.

If I write the response directly to the output stream, that's what
displays in my browser (obviously it's the response from the server) --
if I return the result, Struts complains that the mapping is not
correct.

Here's what I have:

My form looks like this:

<form>
Search Question Text: <input id="questionText" name="questionText"
type="text" size="30" class="form-autocomplete" />
</form>

<ajax:autocomplete
baseUrl="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/question/get-term.action"
source="questionText"
target="questionText"
parameters="qt={questionText}"
className="autocomplete"
indicator="throbbing"
minimumCharacters="1" />

My Action looks like this:

public class QuestionAction extends BaseAction implements
ModelDriven<Question>, Preparable, ServletRequestAware,
ServletResponseAware {

 ...  

 public String getSearchTerm() throws Exception{

   System.out.println("**** Question Search Term:" + qt);
   List<Question> results=
questionService.getQuestions(qt);
   AjaxXmlBuilder builder= new AjaxXmlBuilder();
   builder.addItems(results, "questionType", "text");
   System.out.println("**** Question Search Result:" +
builder.toString());
   
    response.setContentType("text/xml");
    response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
    ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
    out.print(builder.toString());
    out.close();
   
   return SUCCESS;
 }


My struts mapping:

 <package name="question" extends="base-pkg"
namespace="/question">
   <action name="get-term" method="getSearchTerm"
class="...QuestionAction">
     <result name="success"
type="tiles">question.panel</result>
   </action>
 </package>

The struts 2 Ajax documentation seems manic and dated. It seems the S2
Ajax implementation is tied closely to sitemesh, which I am not using.

If anyone can help me get this going I would definitely be interested in
participating in the project updating the documentation.

If you're writing directly to the stream I doubt you'd even want to return
anything other than a null from the action, no? What is the "question.panel"
tile?

SiteMesh? The Ajax implementation isn't tied to SiteMesh at all.

Dated? Much of the S2 Ajax documentation is for S2.1, which isn't even
released yet. If anything, it's pre-dated.

Dave

Dave,

Thanks for the reply. I guess I should have said freemarker instead of
sitemesh...? At any rate, when the docs don't match the release, it's a
bad thing.

I shouldn't need to do any of this should I? Can you point me at a
simple, minimalist example of the <s:autocompleter> tag?
