I am trying to write small login application in struts 2.Session is b eing created successfully.In welcome.jsp "logout" option is given.On logout control will be redirected to Logout.jsp.
My problem is after logout session variables are destroyed but pages are storing in browser cache.If click back button of browser i am able to see welcome.jsp.
For clearing cache "ClearCacheInterceptor" is used.I don't understand where i am making mistake.
Instead of clearing browser every time is there any to overcome this prooblem ? Is my approach correct ? Please suggest me.
Login.jsp

Well that's a very common issue and this is with respect to your browser cache issue rather than struts2 or any other framework at all.
we have face same problem since when you hit the back button of browser the request is not being send to the server rather it is being serves from the browser cache.you will only notice things when you try to do some work and it will come up with error that you are no longer being logged in.
though you can use certain header like no-cache etc but they are being obeyed by the browser is not certain.
only workaround to this problem as per my understanding is to use https (secure browsing) for your work and than use the header (no-cache. cache-expiry etc) since when you browse application under secure mode these header will be followed by the server and browser.
i hope this will try to give you an idea, just to check redirect to https protocol when your logout and it will solve your problem

In struts.xml file I don't want to use/extend struts-default package. Although, when I include params interceptor entry along with modelDriven interceptor in struts.xml, problem solves. What is the reason behind this. Can any one guide me?
You have a property in the action class that needs initialize prior to the action execution. You can do it in many ways.
The way you have chosen relies on modelDriven interceptor which is running before your action is executed. It invokes getModel() to push it on top of the valueStack. So, your entity property is being initialized. If you remove this interceptor you will get NullPointerException when the action is executed.
If your Entity is a simple POJO that you can instantiate yourself then simply do it inline instead of in getModel().
private Entity en = new Entity();
#Override
public Entity getModel() {
System.out.println("inside model driven....");
return en;
}
Next part is about params interceptor. It uses OGNL to populate a top object that is a model if you have used modelDriven interceptor prior params interceptor.
Living it along with your action allows to initialize some properties you reference in the execute().
For example t1 should be initialized.
I have this index.jsp:
<%# page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%# taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags"%>

<h2>Simple Iterator</h2>
<ol>
<s:iterator value="comboMeals">

</ol>
<h2>Iterator with IteratorStatus</h2>
<table>
<s:iterator value="comboMeals" status="comboMealsStatus">

</s:elseif>

</s:else>
</tr>
</s:iterator>
</table>
</body>
</html>
This is my Java Class:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;
public class IteratorKFCAction extends ActionSupport{
private List<String> comboMeals;
public List<String> getComboMeals() {
return comboMeals;
}
public void setComboMeals(List<String> comboMeals) {
this.comboMeals = comboMeals;
}
public String execute() {
comboMeals = new ArrayList<String>();
comboMeals.add("Snack Plate");
comboMeals.add("Dinner Plate");
comboMeals.add("Colonel Chicken Rice Combo");
comboMeals.add("Colonel Burger");
comboMeals.add("O.R. Fillet Burger");
comboMeals.add("Zinger Burger");
return SUCCESS;
}
}
My idea was call directly the action that fill the index page, so i put this line inside head tags of index.jsp
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;URL='start.do'">
But with with this fix, i get that the page enter in a "refresh loop". Is there any way to call directly from the code the action, in this way I don't have to set it manually via URL in the browser.
I've tried also a second solution adding to the body of index.jsp this code:
<s:action name="iteratorKFCAction" executeResult="true" />
where iteratorKFCAction is the action specified in struts.xml that recall the IteratorKFCAction. In this case the action loop.
The main purpose of Struts2 (and all other MVC frameworks) is to route the URL to an Action (the Controller) that prepare data (in your case comboMeals) and determine a result (in your case always SUCCESS) that is mapped to a template (the View), in your case index.jsp
In your struts.xml you should have something like
<action name="start.do" class="com.xxx.IteratorKFCAction">
<result name="SUCCESS">/WEB-INF/.../index.jsp</result>
</action>
I have a requirement where passing parameters from one action to another action with No sessions using: Here is my code, I am trying to use scope-interceptor.
here is my code I am not sure what am I doing wrong but I am not able to get the results.

so we are instantiating session object in each and every other action
right?
Not at all, we are just retrieving it from the ServletActionContext.
How to put in session
ServletActionContext.getContext().getSession().put("softuser", someUserObject);
How to retrieve from session
ServletActionContext.getContext().getSession().get("softuser");

Your action needs to return JSON, as described on the Ajax and JavaScript Recipes page. (Link to previous version due to a wiki export issue). Nutshell: use the JSON plugin.
<action name="fruits" class="mypack.FruitsAction" method="display">
<result type="json">
<param name="root">fruits</param>
</result>
</action>
Note that I'm explicitly setting the "root" element to your list of fruits. I'm also eliminating the redundancy in the name of the list of fruits; it's a list of fruits–its name should be fruits.
Lastly, the Dojo plugin has been deprecated for at least a couple of years now, for a variety of reasons. I'd strongly consider using something like the Struts 2 jQuery Plugin or simply using raw Dojo if you have a need for Dojo explicitly.
Thanks to Dave Newton, i have below solution to my issue.
i modified the code to use JSON along with autocompleter and
included struts2-json-plugin-2.3.8.jar in WEB-INF/lib.
providing modified code below:

FruitsAction.java
package mypack;

import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;
public class FruitsAction extends ActionSupport{
Map<String,String> fruits;
public Map<String, String> getFruits() {
fruits=new HashMap<String,String>();
fruits.put("apples", "ap");
fruits.put("oranges", "or");
fruits.put("mangoes", "ma");
return fruits;
}
public void setFruits(Map<String, String> fruits) {
this.fruits = fruits;
}
}
Follwing is the solution using jquery plugin instead of dojo plugin.
(Replaced dojo plugin with struts2-jquery-plugin-3.6.0.jar in WEB-INF/lib
in Eclipse.)

fruitNames=null;
}
return SUCCESS;
}
public String[] getFruitNames() {
return fruitNames;
}
public void setTerm(String term) {
this.term = term;
}
}
in FruitsAction.java, the string 'term' is what we type into the autocompleter.
the action gets invoked everytime we type in a new letter.
i referred the following urls for the above solution.

i need file upload in strurts 2 and store it to server location,i used by googles no use, can anybody give better idea. advance thanks
To google, it might help to check what you type: it's "struts2", no "strurts"
Anyway, you dont need to google, the official docs are enough
http://struts.apache.org/2.2.1/docs/file-upload-interceptor.html
http://struts.apache.org/2.2.1/docs/handling-file-uploads.html
http://cwiki.apache.org/WW/file-upload.html
Here is whole code of struts2 file upload.
Action file (fileupload.java)
package com.tutorialspoint.struts2;
import java.io.File;
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
import java.io.IOException;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;
public class uploadFile extends ActionSupport{
private File myFile;
private String myFileContentType;
private String myFileFileName;
private String destPath;
public String execute()
{
/* Copy file to a safe location */
destPath = "C:/apache-tomcat-6.0.33/work/";
try{
System.out.println("Src File name: " + myFile);
System.out.println("Dst File name: " + myFileFileName);
File destFile = new File(destPath, myFileFileName);
FileUtils.copyFile(myFile, destFile);
}catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
return ERROR;
}
return SUCCESS;
}
public File getMyFile() {
return myFile;
}
public void setMyFile(File myFile) {
this.myFile = myFile;
}
public String getMyFileContentType() {
return myFileContentType;
}
public void setMyFileContentType(String myFileContentType) {
this.myFileContentType = myFileContentType;
}
public String getMyFileFileName() {
return myFileFileName;
}
public void setMyFileFileName(String myFileFileName) {
this.myFileFileName = myFileFileName;
}
}
