Re: Parameters to Actions

[Mark Lowe]

I'd also have a look at

org.apache.struts.actions.DispatchAction

as it caters for your situation...

public class MyAction extends DispatchAction {

//instead of execute you use the parameter defined in config

  public final ActionForward confirmDelete(
ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)

  throws Exception {

  }
}
//struts-config.xml


//jsp

RE: Parameters to Actions

[Valery Jacot]

When you pass a parameter like you did in your url, use the method
getParameter() of the request...
It will return you a string...

And if you don't want to have a NullPointerException, do your if like this :

String action = request.getParameter("action");
if("confirmDelete".equals(action)){}

Bye..

No need for that either since the superclass constructor is implicitly called.

RE: Passing parameters to Actions

[Brandon Goodin]

It is done automagically upon startup of your application. When struts
processes it's config (struts-config.xml) it generates ActionMapping
instances for each . When you specify your extended ActionMapping in
the className attribute of  struts will populate the related
property or properties of that class. Your extended Action mapping must have
matching getter/setter properties that match you property="" value (i.e.
 relates to public
setAProperty(String aValue){};)

One of the issues you might run into is that you cant easily change the
properties during runtime. If you make role changes to the Action you will
have to reboot the webapp. This is usually not a major deal.

RE: Passing parameters to Actions

[Jarnot Voytek Contr AU HQ/SC]

It may be easier for you to extend RequestProcessor and override
processRoles(...) and perform your own authorization there.  I started down
that road, but didn't like the effect of return false from processRoles, so
we always return true and do the real role checking in our base action class
(mapping.getRoleNames() gives us the value of the roles attribute) so that
we can return mapping.getInputForward() when the role check fails...

RE: Passing parameters to Actions

[Derek Richardson]

parameter is also used for ForwardAction. Actually, any action can access its 
parameter using mapping.getParameter() and use it however it wants. We do this in 
several actions.

>From the ActionConfig javadoc:

parameter

protected java.lang.String parameter
General purpose configuration parameter that can be used to pass extra iunformation to 
the Action instance selected by this Action. Struts does not itself use this value in 
any way. 

However, Sloan, you ar right that it is limited to passing one parameter and that the 
parameter's intended use is unclear if it is simply called "parameter". Brandon's 
solution to subclass ActionMapping is probably the best (only reasonable?) alternative.

parameter is only used for dispatch actions. If you want to set properties
for an action... you can extend the ActionMapping class and use the
set-property in an action element while specifying the className attribute
of the action element.

RE: Passing parameters to Actions

[James Mitchell]

Have looked at extending ActionConfig?

You could add a field for assigning roles.  
If you wanted to allow more than one, it would let you do:






 


The rest is really up to you.  Just giving you some ideas.

RE: How to pass parameters to actions ? action.do?variable=value

[Klaus Bucka-Lassen]

Hi Maris

Yes, you can pass parameters in different ways:

1) The most straight forward way is the one that you
   suggested:
   
 Touch me!
   

2) You can also use the  tag, which is easy
   if you only want to pass one parameter (see paramId,
   paramName & paramProperty). For multiple parameters
   you'll have to define a property on your action-form 
   (something like a 'getParameters' method) that
   returns a Map consisting of the key-value pairs you
   want to pass.

3) If you want buttons instead of links use hidden
   fields to pass parameters [use the 'method'
   attribute to specify whether you want to use POST
   (default) or GET]

I don't think it makes sense to talk about using the POST method in context with links 
- these always resolve to a GET-request.

Hope that helps & with regards,

hello

I need to create links with different parameters. Can I pass them
directly to actions ?

like this action.do?variable=value

Does the Struts servlet do POST and GET ?
