Yes, I am looking at that. Have you used that?

Did you already look at the ScopedModelDriven<E> approach?

Thanks eric for the information.
I was looking for interceptor based approach where struts would handle putting model in the session, retrieving from the session, removing from session at the end of wizard. Scope interceptor provides similar thing, but this does not work with modeldriven actions.

I have done it with and without jQuery, but find that the jQuery form
wizard plug-in [1] is by far the easiest. In short, you create a div each
to represent each step and add class="step" to the div, and you're pretty
much done as far as the wizard coding is considered. The plug-in handles
breaking the form into multiple wizard steps. Then the wizard pages look
like 1 big form to Struts 2 when the last page is submitted (the plug-in
handles making the last page a submit). Validations can be handled via the
validation plug-in. You probably want a paranoid validation step at the
action level. If there is an error there, that the jQuery validation
didn't catch, then there was probably some outside manipulation (if you
did validations correctly) and a generic error message, outside of the
wizard, would be acceptable and probably never seen by the average user.

If you don't use jQuery, then just store the object you're dealing with
(model) in the session and iteratively update it at the end of each wizard
step. If there is more than just the one model object, then store a DTO in
the session and call that your model. That's essentially how I did it
anyway, without going into every gory detail which I don't really have
time for.

I haven't had a need for it. It just sounded like the best case for your scenario (I think).

Hi Maurizio,

I never touched the default value of that constant. The default must be
".action" I guess.
Well it's not a big deal breaker for now and like you said if it's not
related to the adv. wildcards
we should find the culprit very soon. My guess is, that somewhere in the
application I still use
the old-style parameter handling. So maybe that's the problem.

Hi everyone,

concerning the usage of the AutocompleterTag from the struts2-jquery plugin:

instead of returning just the autocomplete values (I'm returning just
a few results to be shown), I'd like to return additional data (the
total number of matches) to give a feedback to the user that there are
more results available and that the search can be refined (if this is
the case).

AFAIK, the AutocompleterTag expects a JSON result with a list (with
the possible values) on its root, so I cannot send both the results
and the additional data.

I could make an other AJAX request to get this additional data, but
I'd like to do this in a single request (so I don't have to store
anything in the session). Does anyone knows if this is possible?

Thanks in advance,
Bruno
