I use Struts 2 Framework and i want to pass a parameter in my action like this localhost:8080/MyApp/ModifierMessage.action?id=9. In my jsp page i have the following text with the action:
Modifier
Someone could help me to add dynamic id to my action ?
Use <s:url> and <s:a> tags. For example is your dynamic id is called dynamic_id:
<s:url var="myUrl" action="ModifierMessage.action" namespace="/OCC">
<s:param name="id">%{dynamic_id}</s:param>
</s:url>
<%-- The link --%>
<s:a href=%{#myUrl}>Modifier</s:a>
public class MyAction extends ActionSupport {
private int id;
public String execute() {
...
this.id = 123;
return SUCCESS;
}
public int getId() { return this.id; }
public void setId(int id) { this.id = id; }
...
}
In the above code if it returns SUCCESS then the browser will be forwarded to
/<app-prefix>/myNamespace/otherAction.action?id=123

I have a pojo class as below:
public class HelpBean {
private String title;
public String getTitle(){
return title;
}
public void setTitle(String title){
this.title = title;
}
}
An action class as follows:
public class MyAction implements Action {
private HelpBean bean;
//other fields
public HelpBean getBean() {
return bean;
}
public void setBean(HelpBean bean) {
this.bean = bean;
}
}
In my jsp page, I am trying to check for below condition:
<s:if test=%{!bean.getTitle().trim().contains("bad_title")}>
//execute good code
</s:if>
I also tried below, but this one also doesn't work:
<s:if test=%{bean.getTitle().trim().contains("bad_title") == false}>
//execute good code
</s:if>
Not sharing the xml, as routing and everything works fine. I only have problem checking if my title does not contains "bad_title".
There are many different titles so I can't compare for contains() here, hence checking for !contains()
What am I missing here? Can someone pls point out. Before down voting, please explain if something is missed.
IMO the check should be
<s:if test="%{!bean.getTitle().trim().contains('bad_title')}">
I want to pass a session value as a hidden form value to an action class.
I have seen several examples but nothing worked for me; I get a null in the action.
Update.jsp:
<s:hidden name="name" value="%{#session.sname}" />
<s:property value="#session.sname"></s:property>//works fine and printing username
User name is stored in session. I want to send this name to action class but I am unable to send.
UpdateAction.java:
public class UpdateAction extends ActionSupport {
String name;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public string execute() {
System.out.println("Username"+name);//getting null value
}
}
You should try:
<s:hidden value="%{#session['sname']}" name="aName"></s:hidden>
jsp content:
<s:checkboxlist list="list" name="values"/>
action content:
public List<Foo> getList() {
return list;
}
public String[] getValues() {
return values;
}
public void setValues(String[] values) {
this.values = values;
}
class Foo:
private String code;
public String getCode() {
return code;
}
public String toString() {
return code;
}
When I put breakpoint at getValues() method, I clearly see it's being called with some values there. But that values don't appear to be selected on a page.
What am I missing here?
I found a solution. I've added
<s:checkboxlist list="list" name="values" listKey="code" listValue="code />
to jsp and it all started working after that. It generates the same html, but it seems that despite rendering correctly, that properties are required by struts to check what values should be set. And there is no emphasis on that in struts docs.
EDIT:
It seems that only this is actually requited for this thing to work:
<s:checkboxlist list="list" name="values" listKey="code"/>
Hey guys I'm having some problems with a project that I'm doing :/
I have this code
public class ListaAlumnoAction {
private List<Alumno> alumnos;
public String execute(){
String camino="success";
EntityManager em= Utilitario.getInstance().getEntityManager();
Query query=em.createQuery("Select o From Alumno o");
alumnos=query.getResultList();
return camino;
}
public List<Alumno> getAlumnos() {
return alumnos;
}
public void setAlumnos(List<Alumno> alumnos) {
this.alumnos = alumnos;
}
}
This method gives me a list of students. But in this case I just want 1 student, searching by code for example or by name and last name. The thing is I don't know what kind of tools use for this purpose.
Thanks in advanced.
For searching the student by specified input criteria, you are in need of passing the required input from the page to the action class. And need to modify the query which will search the student record by mentioned name or last name or desired input.
For example, assume student name is the input criteria
To pass the student name from the page:
<s:form>
......
<s:textfield name="studentName" label="Student Name"></s:textfield>
<s:submit value="Search" name="submit" action="ListaAlumnoAction"/>
......
</s:form>
Here the studentName will be the input for search operation and ListaAlumnoAction is action which will fired when Search button clicked.
To get the Student Name in the Action Class:
public class ListaAlumnoAction {
private List<Alumno> alumnos;
/* Please note both the text filed name in the page and attribute should be same "studentName" */
private String studentName;
public String execute(){
String camino="success";
EntityManager em= Utilitario.getInstance().getEntityManager();
// "name" variable will hold the studentName
String name = getStudentName();
// Modify the query, by passing the name if it is not null
Query query=em.createQuery("Select o From Alumno o");
alumnos=query.getResultList();
return camino;
}
public List<Alumno> getAlumnos() {
return alumnos;
}
public void setAlumnos(List<Alumno> alumnos) {
this.alumnos = alumnos;
}
// getter and setter for the studentName
public String getStudentName(){
return studentName;
}
public void setStudentName(String studentName){
this.studentName = studentName;
}
}
I am facing a problem in Struts2, In my sample application I have Array of objects (Say person name) , I need to display these names as a editable text fields , I am using Iterators for this , I am successful in diaplying, But When I cange the same value and submit the form. I am getting the entire array which holds null value.
Say for Exaple in my form bean I have a property
Name [] names;
In my JSP I have the iterator as
If there are 3 names then I can get these names on the UI if I can initialized them with some dummy value but when I edit and sumbit, then "names" array is not getting updated. Please help me in this regard
In Struts2, when you need to repopulate the list of bean items, you need to refer them through indices. Please refer the example below:
Bean class:
public class Person {
private int id;
private String name;
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
Action class:
public class PersonAction extends ActionSupport {
private List<Person> persons;
public List<Person> getPersons() {
return persons;
}
public void setPersons(List<Person> persons) {
this.persons = persons;
}
//Initial Load method
#Override
public String execute() {
persons = new ArrayList<Person>();
int alpha = 65;
for(int i = 0; i < 3 ; i++) {
Person person = new Person();
person.setId(i);
person.setName(String.valueOf((char)alpha++));
persons.add(person);
}
return SUCCESS;
}
//Function that handles the form submit
public String updatePerson() {
for(Person person : persons) {
System.out.println(person.getId() + ":" + person.getName());
}
return SUCCESS;
}
}
Page:
<s:form action="doUpdate">
<s:iterator value="persons" status="stat" var="person">
<s:textfield value="%{#person.name}" name="persons[%{#stat.count}].name"/><br/>
</s:iterator>
<s:submit value="Submit"/>
</s:form>
When you submit the above form, the url would look like doUpdate?persons[0].name=A1&persons[1].name=B1&persons[2].name=C1. Similarly if you need to update id of the first person object, you will append persons[0].id=3 to the url using form. In the <s:textfield value="%{#person.name}" name="persons[%{#stat.count}].name"/>, you tell that the predefined value is person's name, for each object. The name attribute is to set the rendered html input element; the name which will be referenced in the url when the form is submitted. You will get a clear idea if you look into the generated html.
Use the iterator tag of struts2, if list is not empty then use :
<s:iterator value="names" status="namesStatus">
<s:property/><br/>
</s:iterator>
