Re: How do you mimic the 'a href' functionality in Struts?

[Joe Germuska]

The "action" attribute of the html:link tag and the "path" attribute 
of the action element should be identical.

Note that  the value of the "paramName" attribute ("viewcontactlist" 
in your example)  is not a string literal, but rather the name of a 
bean in some scope (page, request, session, or application) which 
will be looked up and converted to a string as the value of the 
parameter.  In your case, since you specify paramScope="request", the 
tag will specifically call "request.getAttribute("viewcontactlist")" 
to get the value.

No, "contacts" is the URL that the browser asks for to invoke your
"ContactAction" class. "ContactForm" is the FormBean (explicitly defined
elsewhere in the struts-config.xml file) that will be passed to the
ContactAction class. Therefore, ContactForm should be the form bean used by
the form in viewcontactlist.jsp.

At first encounter, the distinctions between the various link
destination attributes can be a little confusing -- but you probably
don't want to use href in this case.

If you have a specific action mapping called "/ContactForm" then you
should use 'action="/ContactForm"'  You would generally only want to
use "href" when you were linking outside of your web application --
the other three provide dynamic URL rewriting to prepend the
application context path so that you can deploy the same web app
under different context paths without having to change your JSPs...
(Other tags like html:img provide similar rewriting...)

The below is copied from the docs for this tag:

The base URL for this hyperlink is calculated based on which of the
following attributes you specify (you must specify exactly one of
them):

* forward - Use the value of this attribute as the name of a global
ActionForward to be looked up, and use the
application-relative or context-relative URI found there.

* action - Use the value of this attribute as the name of a Action to
be looked up, and use the application-relative or context-relative
URI found there.

* href - Use the value of this attribute unchanged.

* page - Use the value of this attribute as a application-relative
URI, and generate a server-relative URI by
including the context path and application prefix.

In general, you use the  tag

http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/struts-html.html#link


For the destination of the link, it takes one of four attributes:
forward, action, href, or page.

The mechanism for specifying a single parameter for the link uses
these attributes: paramId, paramName, paramProperty, paramScope

The value of paramId is the request parameter name.  In your HTML
sample, then, this would be "page", although in your ActionForm, this
would probably be "pageName".  (You probably want those to be
consistent with each other.)

You can specify the value for the parameter with the appropriate
combination of paramName, paramProperty, and paramScope, with
semantics analogous to "name", "property", and "scope" in the various
bean tags.

If you need to specify multiple parameters, this is done with a map
whose keys are parameter names and whose values are the values to be
put in the URL.  See the docs for more details.


However, I'm guessing from your example link that you'd pass the same
parameter in the link every time -- that is, you'd always want the
text "Contact List" linked to the same URL.  In this case, the better
Struts "way to do it" would be to define different action mappings
for each of the various parameters you would pass.  This leaves you a
lot of future flexibility about how the functionality is provided.
If necessary, you could write a separate Struts Action class for each
mapping, or you could use one action for several mappings and use an
action mapping "parameter" to dispatch execution to a
parameter-specific method inside the action.

Hope this helps.

Yes.

Your href attribute can point to a JavaScript function that sets some hidden form 
variables then submits the form. It would look something like this:


function submitFunctionForYou(lType) {
document.yerForm.elements["page"].value = lType;
}

that i have to create a global forward for any tiles i want to access using 
a href and then pass the global id to a temporary action in order to view my

definition which sounds like a very round about way to achieve this.

Any ideas guys??

sorry I accidently hit  on the last reply and it
sent the email somehow (some weird combination of
keystrokes).

What I wanted to finish was the action...

 
   
 

this probably doesn't answer your question the way you
want is my guess.  

you can always call this from another action

Re: [Tiles Beginner Question] Href & Tile Definitions

[Sandeep Takhar]

I think you don't want to create an action to handle
the tiles reference right?

If not, then you can simply create a global action
that forwards to "display" say..

[Tiles Beginner Question] Href & Tile Definitions

[Pat Quinn]

I've successfully got tiles up and running... I do understand how i can use 
a tile definition as a struts forward for my actions but i'm looking to 
redirect to a tile definition using a href link. E.g.

I have the following tile definition:





I have tried the following but it doesn't work (i.e. passing the tile id as 
a parameter to the ForwardAction):



I guess what i'm really asking is there a predefined Action which will take 
my tile Id and forward to this view

Its not that i'm lazy as i could write one if i need too but this would mean 
that i have to create a global forward for any tiles i want to access using 
a href and then pass the global id to a temporary action in order to view my 
definition which sounds like a very round about way to achieve this.

Any ideas guys??

Thanks. Nice tip.
By the way, is there any other way to put a bean property in a "value"
attribute of an input of a HTML form?
I mean, supposing that I have a "orgview" bean, is there a better way to 
do
this (which of course doesn't work):

"/>

in order to put the orgview's "id" property value in the "value" attribute 
of
the html:text tag?
Must I put a  tag before and then use a scriplet inside the
"value" attribute? This is tiresome if if I have several HTML inputs in a 
form...

Thanks again,

Antonio Santos

href to perform an action

[Mohan Radhakrishnan]

Hi,
I have a doubt related to this and the html-img tag.


  


I am refreshing some data in the session scope when the user hits the
"reload" button.
I am planning to use html-img tag if it really helps. The "href" shown above
already reloads the current page.
I am using a simple "NoDataForm" as advised.

 How can I both reload the current page throught javascript and refresh the
session variable throught an action?
Will html-img help here?

bye,
Mohan

you have to add an input attribute to your action definition that points to 
the jsp that has your form on it.  Struts needs to know where to forward to

RE: href to perform an action

[Cindy Horn at SF x4874]

This is the error I have in the log:

<[WebAppServletContext(852414,vcsc,/vcsc)] action:   No input form, but
validation returned errors> 

Where is this validation taking place?

500 is an internal server error.

Can you check your log files and try to find more detail or even a stack
trace?

RE: href to perform an action

[David Graham]

The generated link must look like:

link

If you have that link and it still doesn't work, it's likely to be your 
Action class.  Try substituting your action for the struts ForwardAction and 
see what happens.

a debug line and this is not showing up.  It's behaving as though it can

I have debugging lines in my Action class and those are not getting

Does the action class not accept a GET?

You might want to checkout  tag. Using that tag, you need to 
use
attributes page="/vcsc/shipmentTracking.do". You can even pass parameters

RE: href to perform an action

[James Mitchell]

No, if #1 is your application name (i.e. you deployed vcsc.war) and #2 is
correctly defined in your struts-config, then all should be fine (btw. case
matters)

First, that should technically work, assuming that that is the correct
relative path to the action.  Make sure you have the correct path being
defined.  (As a hint, when you click the link and get a 404, look at what is
in the address bar at that point.  I have found that the webapp base is
usually lost if you do an HREF such as this.)

Second, though, I would recommend using the  tag for things such as
this.  Used in conjunction with global-forwards for your actions, this
relieves you of having to worry about keeping the web-app base, and it also
gives a lot of flexibility with the creation of the queryString.  Examples are
in the users guide, though I would be happy to provide you with some more, if
you need.

RE: base href (html:base) tag

[Anand Belaguly]

Both approaches work fine, in fact we had a discussion about using
Both.

Actually the BASE tag just works fine, the same view may be generated by

Any action and the JSP URL will get masked by the one from where
The jsp is called(forwarded action). Base tag supports all the other
Reference links(like stylesheets,images etc etc) on the page, and it 
is already available (we don't Need to re-desing/re-write anything).

Subject: base href (html:base) tag


Hi -

I'm a bit of a newbie to Struts so I hope you can bear with me.

I'm one of several developers working on a struts framework Registration
project for my company. We are currently having an internal debate as to
how to set up application contexts and asset pathing in our JSP pages
for this and future projects we are slated to build.

The Java Architect on the project believes we should use the
 tag in our JSPs. That way we can set the context (or
pathing) via the taglib. This would help for transferring files between
our Dev and Production environments, for example.

A few of the web developers believe that we should set a J2EE directive
which maps all requests to the application context we set. That way, we
can set the pathing to be whatever we want without being constrained by
what the Base Href is.

By using , I assume that we will be adding a BASE HREF tag
to the top of every JSP page. I think this is odd. I never set a BASE
HREF tag unless I want to view the page completely out of context (like
on my desktop). Moreover, who really uses BASE HREF on every JSP page? I
almost never see it in the source code of sites I visit. It just strikes
me as odd and an unusual practice.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Building a dynamic list of html (href) links from a Map

[Karim Saloojee]

Hi

I am trying to build a dynamic list of links (href's) from a map that has
been created in my Action class and put into the request for the JSP.

My map looks something like this:
key: Log On
Value: /logon.do
key: Display Users
value: /displayusers.do

Is there a way to use the  tag to build these links so that I
would get something like:
Log On 
Display Users

Is this possible or should I just use plain HTML to build the list of links?

Hi
I am waiting for the solution for my problem for someone and seems no one is 
responding to it.I dunno know why this is happening.I would highly appreciate if 
someone could help me solve my problem. here i am stating my problem once again.

I am having an issue with  tag of struts. I think I don't know how to use 
it.
Actually I have a java script fucntion which looks like this
function launchEdit(field, accField, relation, newType)
{
currentField = document.editForm.field;
currentAccField = document.editForm.accField;
isRelation = relation;
var url = 
'LoadObject.do?parent=true&action=Edit&type='+newType+'&accNum='+accField.value;
window.open(url,'CreateNew','height=500,width=550,resizable=1,scrollbars=1');
}
And it needs to be called by passing the parameters that would also be dynamic for me 
(which will change everytime we call it.)

Can Someone throw some light on this issue as to how we achieve this functionality .

RE: Question on forwarding/redirecting/href usage...

[Alex Paransky]

I looked at html:link, and it seems to require using a Map class to pass
parameters to the link.  Seems like a lot of setup, and scriplet code (which
I am not crazy about) just to generate
/school/maintenance.jsp?schoolId=223&context=ready.  Is there an easier way
to do this?

Here is how I imagine the code would look like with the current STRUTS
html:link tag:




<%
Map map = new HashMap();
map.put("schoolId", schoolId);
map.put("context", contextMode);
%>



I would rather see syntax like this:


  
  


The map, is a good feature, but it's TOO dynamic in this case.  I could
create my own tag, but I thought I would ask around before re-inventing the
wheel.

Thanks.

RE: Linking HREF with Action

Is it not possible to not use a form at all?

Section 1.3 of the user guide says:  "At a minimum, a mapping must specify (1) a
request path and (2) the object type to act upon the request.".

However when I try leaving off the form name in config file, and in html:form

I can obviously get around it by just using the regular html  tag, but
would like to keep everything consistant (the reason I don't need a form, is
that my action creates performs a download).

what you will then use out of the mapping in the config file is only the
action, and just ignore the actionform.

Hi all,

I just wanted to know if it's possible to define an Action in the Struts
config XML file that would be called from an HTML link (html:link tag) that
IS NOT within a form ?
I tried but it seems that the framework needs an ActionForm bean associated
with each Action.

Any idea, comments ?

Thanks for your help.

If you are not define form for some action then reference to
ActionForm in perform() method for this action will be null. And you
can use html:link in any place of the JSP, not only in forms.

Reaching Action class from Href Link

[John M. Corro]

I've recently begun working with Struts and am looking to create a scenario
where a user can click on a link and trigger some event in an Action class
(ie the clicking of a link would be the same as clicking a form's submit
button).  My understanding is that within Struts forms submit by the post
method by default so I don't know if the only way to reach an Action class
is by an actual form.  Any one have any insight?

RE: Reaching Action class from Href Link

[Fletcher, Ken]

I haven't played around with paramID, paramName and paramProperty in the tag
yet (still experimenting).  However, I have been able to get the bean to
show up on the forwarded JSP by putting it in the HttpSession (from the
action class) and then have the JSP access the properties in regular
fashion:



Does anyone else have a more elegant solution to this?

Re: Reaching Action class from Href Link

[Martin Cooper]

Yes, that's correct. Using extension mapping with Struts, and ".do" in 
particular, is just a Struts convention. I suspect that most people are 
probably following that convention, but it is not a requirement. You are 
free to use a different extension, such as ".act" or ".cmd" or whatever, or 
to use path mapping, if you want.

As you point out, changing the mapping method or the extension after the 
project is in development may have repercussions, so it's a decision you 
really want to make up front, and stick with.

Re: Reaching Action class from Href Link

[Martin Cooper]

If you use the Struts  tag, the value of the 'action' attribute 
is used to look up the corresponding action mapping, and Struts will append 
the ".do" if you are using extension mapping for your servlet.

If you use the Struts  tag with the 'href' attribute, then that 
value is taken literally. You have a bit more flexibility if you use the 
'forward' or 'page' attributes with this tag.

RE: Reaching Action class from Href Link

[Greg Maletic]

I don't believe I can use this approach because my original JSP has many
links that all lead to the EditProduct action, but each link specifies a
different productId, corresponding to a different product.  I need to wait
until the user clicks on a specific product before I can populate the bean,
and I need to have my action called to do this, which is the source of the
problem.  My action isn't being called at all--it's just going directly to
the next JSP.

After finding out that it wasn't calling my action class, my next question
was:  how does the ActionServlet know what JSP to go to?  The answer is it's
using the "input" tag on the "editProduct" action mapping, and jumping
directly to that.  The Struts docs imply that "input" is only used when a
ActionForm.validate() method returns ActionErrors, but apparently it's not
true:  it's being jumped to in lieu of calling my action.

What have other people experienced when using the "input" tag?

Thanks.

I haven't played around with paramID, paramName and paramProperty in the tag
yet (still experimenting).  However, I have been able to get the bean to
show up on the forwarded JSP by putting it in the HttpSession (from the
action class) and then have the JSP access the properties in regular
fashion:



Does anyone else have a more elegant solution to this?

In my JSP, I've got:


My link goes here



In my struts-config.xml file, I've got:

...


...






What I'm finding is that my EditProduct action isn't being called at all.
I'm wanting EditProduct in this case to prepopulate the form bean with data
so it will display for editing on the next JSP.  Because of this problem, no
data is being written into the form bean, so my form comes up blank when I
want it to be pre-filled with data.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Sorry about the last message. It didn't work due to a spelling mistake on 
my part.  The  tag seems to work as expected.

Thanks again,

Re: HREF link question

[Rick Horowitz]

Hi Craig,

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work.  I tried 
two different approaches: with the  tag and without it, and I 
get the same result in both cases:

 I code the following link:

 Introduction

 The html source (in the browser, Netscape 4.6.1 or IE 4.72) shows:

 When I use the  tag:

 http://localhost:8080/backup/jsp/prodinfo/prod-info.jsp";>   in the 
HTML head section, and

 The link is generated as:

 Introduction    as the href link

 When I mouse over the link in the browser, the status line at the 
bottom of the browser window displays:

 http://localhost:8080/backup/jsp/prodinfo/prod-info.jsp

 When I click the link, I get the following in the browser window:

 Not Found (404)
 Original request: /backup/jsp/prodinfo/prodinfo.jsp

 Not found request: /backup/jsp/prodinfo/prodinfo.jsp

Am I doing something wrong?  Must be, since you use this approach all the 
time.  Thanks again for your help.  It is greatly appreciated.

Struts does this automatically for you.

I have found it best to use context-relative URLs starting with a
"/" character throughout my applications, rather than trying to use
relative links -- for the reasons that you are probably familiar with.  To
do that for links, use the "page" attribute to specify the destination --
Struts will prepend the context path of the current application for you,
so that the browser always goes the right place.  For example, you might
code:

It works either way, but remember that links directly from one page to
another bypasses the controller -- and therefore bypasses the stuff that
the controller servlet does for you.

See the  tag for a way to do this automatically.

However, whether you create it yourself or not, the  element affects
only relative hyperlinks.  If you follow my suggestion above (always use
context-relative links), you won't need it.

HREF link question

[Rick Horowitz]

Hi,

I'm trying to use href links with Struts templates, and can't figure out 
how to make my href links work properly.  [Templates seem to work just 
fine, otherwise.]... my compliments.

1. I want to use Struts  tags so that to automatically do URL 
session encoding.

2. I want to use absolute URLs to make coding of urls more robust. For 
example, if I have a directory structure of JSPs:
 jsp
 jsp/prodinfo
 jsp/faq
  ...I want to be able to code the url something like... 
jsp/faq/faq1.jsp or jsp/prodinfo/info1.jsp, in case I change the directory 
structure, rather than using relative links, e.g. ../faq/faq1.jsp.

3. For the portion of the website that I'm currently working on, I am 
creating href links from one JSP to other JSPs.  [For other portions of the 
website, I will be using an MVC architecture, hence forwarding from a 
servlet to a JSP and vice versa.]

4. I have tried various approaches to using the  tag in the 
HTML  section of my Struts template file, not using a base tag, and 
have tried using the following to set the html base:
 http://";
 +request.getServerName() +":"
 +request.getServerPort()
 +request.getContextPath() %>/" >
  Although the latter works with regular  tags, it does not 
seem to work with  Struts tags.

I have tried a variety of combinations of these base tags with a variety of 
combinations of url encodings, but cannot seem to get them to work -- 
except with regular  tags using the
 http://";
 +request.getServerName() +":"
 +request.getServerPort()
 +request.getContextPath() %>/" >
 base tag setting.

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help,
