Struts2.0.9
Has anyone successfully formatted a number 5557777 into 555-7777.


MyAction.properties: format.telephone={0,number,###-####}
   
My.jsp:  <s:action name="myaction"/>
   <s:text name="format.telephone">
     <s:param name="value" value="myTeleValue"/>
   </s:text>

The only output rendered to the jsp page after numerous attempts is the
string "format.telephone".

Thanks

Hi all,

I was testing an master-detail screen with <s:datetimepicker>

When I update the struts version to 2.1.1 a give this message:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/struts2/views/jsp/ui/DateTimePickerTag
at org.apache.jsp.cre_jsp._jspx_meth_s_005fdatetimepicker_005f0(*
cre_jsp.java:466*)

at org.apache.jsp.cre_jsp._jspService(*cre_jsp.java:105*)
at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(*HttpJspBase.java:70*)

I search this class tag at package struts2-core and don´t find it.

The ajax tags was moved to another package or plugin?
Is there an release notes to 2.1.1?

My interceptor is being called, but it appears that
com.opensymphony.xwork2.interceptor.ExceptionMappingInterceptor is still
being called before my interceptor, despite having my interceptor declared
first in the stack. As you can tell my interceptor is handed the "error"
result rather than catching the exception.

The only way I was able to get it to work is by changing the 'exception'
interceptor definition in struts-default.xml to point to my class. As a side
note, is there a way to override struts-default.xml? I tried setting the
property
struts.configuration.files=my-struts-default.xml,struts-plugin.xml,struts.xml
and overriding the 'exception' interceptor in my-struts-default.xml, but the
struts-default.xml was still being loaded. So I ended up checking out the
struts2 source, editing struts-default.xml and packaging it myself, which is
kind of a pain.

I have have tried both Struts 2.0.11 and 2.1.1 <http://2.1.1./>, also tried
it as a regular app and a portlet app and I get the same behavior.

Thanks,
Parker

Thanks for your help I had an "ah ha" moment. I know I read that the stack
gets passed through twice, once down the stack and then back up but I had
forgotten that. That was my problem. The exception was being thrown on the
way back up the stack and being caught by the default
ExceptionMappingInterceptor since it was lower in the stack.

I did as you suggested and defined my own default stack, replacing the
exception interceptor with mine. Works great now.

Thanks again for the help.

I'm trying to override one of three interceptor parameters in an action specific config using method #2 described in
http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11.1/docs/interceptors.html#Interceptors-InterceptorParameterOverriding. Unfortunately the other two parameters that I'm not overriding are not being taken from the default stack definition and are ending up as null on the interceptor. Before I open a Jira bug (or enhancement request), I thought I'd make sure a) this isn't user error b) the expected behavior is "my" expected behavior (i.e. bug vs. enhancement). Below is a sample action config showing what I'm attempting...

<package name="packageA"...>
  <interceptors>
    <interceptor name="myInterceptor" class="..."/>
    <interceptor-stack name="myStack">
       <interceptor-ref name="defaultStack"/>        
       <interceptor-ref name="myInterceptor">
          <param name="paramA">defaultValueA</param>
          <param name="paramB">defaultValueB</param>
          <param name="paramC">defaultValueC</param>
       </interceptor-ref>
    </interceptor-stack>
</package>

With the following action config, the "myInterceptor" interceptor's paramA & paramB are null and not "defaultValueA" and "defaultValueB" as expected/desired.

<package name="packageB" extends="packageA"...>
  <action name="myAction" class="myActionClass">
    <interceptor-ref name="myStack">
       <param name="myInterceptor.paramC">actionSpecificValue</param>
    </interceptor-ref>
  </action>
</package>

Thanks,
Jon

You can pass a query string to the popup window. Here is an example.

<a
href="javascript:popup('printOrder.do?orderNumber=${order.workOrderNumber}',
600, 600, true);">

And then in the popup window to get the orderNumber param passed in above:

<c:if test="${not empty param.orderNumber}">
Reference Number: ${param.orderNumber}
</c:if>

You might want to change the href to # and put the window.open code in the
onclick event but other than that this will work fine. In this case order
Is a request attribute for this action.
