Can a a href be made to function as a 'submit'

[Au-Yeung, Stella H]

Hi:
Can a a href be made to function as a 'submit' and upon submission, all
the formBean properties are remembered in the Action class that handles it. 
When  I try to use just the a href I can't get the formBean properties to
be remembered.   But I can't change my list of a href as submit buttons
because I need to pass arguments on each of the a href. 
Here's an example of what I try to do on my JSP page:
When the user clicks a link to see a picture of an item, this JSP will be
replaced by another JSP with the picture.  So before I leave this page, I
must save the Personal information and the item list in a temporary
location so when I return to this page, those values will be repopulated.
But my problem is, clicking the a href link will not carry over he
formBean properties to the Action class for me to save.   'Submit' will but
I can't change those a href to 'submit' because I need to pass the item
index (0,1,2 etc.) through each a href to the Action class. 

Personal information:

List of items in your shopping cart:
ABC tennis racket   1   a href link to see a picture and pass the
index of this item to the Action class
Wilson tennis ball  5   a href link to see a picture and pass the
index of this item to he Action class
XYZ tenis shirt 2  a href link to see a picture and pass
the index of this item to he Action class
 
I appreciate any suggestion.

Sure, all you need is a bit of JavaScript that submits your form tag.
The 'myForm' form is representative:

form name=myForm
input type=text name=someField1/
input type=text name=someField2/
/form

a href=javascript:submitForm();Click/a

And finally, the function:

script language=JavaScript
function submitForm() {
  document.myForm.submit();
}
/script

That should do it.

RE: Can a a href be made to function as a 'submit'

[Au-Yeung, Stella H]

But each of my a href is within a html:iterate indexId=index  .
tag and it passes the index to the next page base on which item in the list
the user clicks.   How can I do that with what you suggested?

My current a href:
a href=app/Order/DisplayPictureRequest.exec?partIdx=%=index%
  img src=images/icoClick.gif/anbsp;

Thanks!

Re: Can a a href be made to function as a 'submit'

[Nick Heudecker]

Assuming I know what you're talking about, this is also pretty easy to address:

The form is hidden, with one hidden field.  It doesn't have to be hidden,
certainly.
form name=myForm
input type=hidden name=partIdx/
/form

The link calls the JavaScript function, passing in the current parameter.
a href=javascript:submitForm('%=index%');Click/a

The function will set the value of the form field and call submit.
script language=JavaScript
function submitForm(indexVal) {
  document.myForm.partIdx.value = indexVal;
  document.myForm.submit();
}
/script

Thanks Nick...I completelu forgot you can 'dynamically' change form fields
value such as 'document.myForm.partIdx.value'.  What you suggested should
work.

converting a href with variable target into html:link

[Ricky Purnomo]

I am converting a pure JSP page into Struts, and am having problem
converting links which calls a javascript and has dynamically specified
target. The particular line is below:

a href=javascript:if (confirm('Do you want to delete this event?'))
location = 'delete.jsp?e=%= EventId %' class=eventheaderlinkDelete/a

My current converted line reads:

a href=javascript:if (confirm('Do you want to delete this event?'))
location = '/EventDelete.do?e=bean:write name=EventForm
property=eventId/' class=eventheaderlink

but I cannot find an equivalent using html:link, problem being I cannot
add the closing single quote back (or more generally stated, I cannot have
constant+variable+constant in the link). My attempt:

html:link href=javascript:if (confirm('Do you want to delete this
event?')) location = '/EventDelete.do paramId=e paramName=EventForm
paramProperty=eventId styleClass=eventheaderlink

is missing the last ' and causes error.

So is there a way to do this in html:link?

And is there a need to convert all a to html:link in the first place?
Because I am also having problem converting

a href=mailto:%= htmlescape(contactemail) % class=eventemaillink%=
htmlescape(evcontactemail) %/a

into html:link, since there is no paramId that I can specify, and using
paramId always automatically add a ? to the created link.


Thanks in advance on any pointers,
Ricky Purnomo

Re: converting a href with variable target into html:link

[hgosper]

I like to avoid putting javascript logic in the JSP tag itself (although 
you can usually do it if you get the syntax right).

I usually pull the script out of the tag like this:

script
function deleteEvent()
{
if (confirm('Do you want to delete this event?'))
{
location = '/EventDelete.do?e=' + 
document.all(eventId).value;
}

}
/script

html-el:form name=eventForm

html-el:hidden property=eventId 
value=${requestScope.eventForm.eventId}/

html-el:link href=javascript:deleteEvent();  styleClass=eventheaderlink/

/html-el:form


I know that's a bit different to what you are doing but that is how I 
would do it and your javascript is nice and clear (you can even put it in 
a separate file).

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

[Mehran Zonouzi]

Hi,

I have the following link in my JSP page:

td width=130a href=/servlets/blotter/Contact?page=viewcontactlist 
target=rightframe class=linkboldContact List/a/td

I want to mimic the above using Struts JSP tags(I don't want to use a SUBMIT button). 
However, I want to call my ActionForm class instead of the servlet and I would like to 
set the value of the param 'page' to 'viewcontactlist' for my ActionForm class so that 
my Action class can use it.

Is it possible to do this?


Here is my ActionForm implementation:

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.strus.action.*;

public final class ContactForm extends ActionForm {

  // page parameter from the CDS menu

  private String pageName =null;
  public String getPageName(){
return (this.pageName);
  }

  public void setPageName(String pageName){
this.pageName = pageName;
  }
}

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:

script type=text/javascript
function submitFunctionForYou(lType) {
document.yerForm.elements[page].value = lType;
}
/script

td
html:form action=/yerAction
html:hidden property=page /
/html:form
a href=submitFunctionForYou('viewcontactlist'); return true;Contact 
List/a
/td

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

[Joe Germuska]

In general, you use the html:link 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.

Joe

Yes I am going to pass the same param to the link every time.

This is what I have replaced the link with.
I am not too sure if I should be using the href
property to call my ActionForm class.

html:link href=ContactForm paramId=page paramName=viewcontactlist

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.

Hi,

I have the following link in my JSP page:

td width=130a
href=/servlets/blotter/Contact?page=viewcontactlist
target=rightframe class=linkboldContact List/a/td

I want to mimic the above using Struts JSP tags(I don't want to use
a SUBMIT button). However, I want to call my ActionForm class
instead of the servlet and I would like to set the value of the
param 'page' to 'viewcontactlist' for my ActionForm class so that my
Action class can use it.

Is it possible to do this?


Here is my ActionForm implementation:

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.strus.action.*;

public final class ContactForm extends ActionForm {

   // page parameter from the CDS menu

   private String pageName =null;
   public String getPageName(){
   }

   public void setPageName(String pageName){
   }
}

At first encounter, the distinctions between the various link

should use 'action=/ContactForm'  You would generally only want to

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.

Does the name I use for action i.e ContactForm have to tie in with what I use in the

html:link action=/ContactForm paramId=page paramName=viewcontactlist

i.e.
Do I need to put ContactForm instead of 'contacts' for path...

 action path=/contacts

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.

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.

what is the better to use, use c:url or html-el:link? Or it is

And one more queestion:
I have object with application persistency (over all sessions), and for

(array list) and maybe store it in session.

Now I do:

Hallo,
how I can do something as this:
html:link action=${menuItem.link} c:out value=${menuItem.name}  /

I tried page (in manual I read that it canbe created dynamicaly, but it 
does not), action, href...

it is still generated as

a href=/apl/${menuItem.doHome/a
instead of 
/apl/Index.do

I know I can do
a href=c:out value=${menuItem.link}
but it does not add application prefix :(

If you've the choice use JSTL..  If you're using the expression

because there's no el. and after reading the faces stuff, i'm sold on

Although I'm not JSTL's biggest fan it does have a certain elegance of

Validator using A href instead of html:submit

[Poon, Johnny]

Hi,

I'm using trying to use ValidatorActionForm and tile, but the submit button
is outside of the  form on a different JSP, therefore, I need to submit my
form indirectly using a link and javascript (see code below).  Neither the
client-side javascript nor the server-side validation get called.  But if I
hardcode a submit button WITHIN the form, the javascript will get called.

So, does this mean that validator will not work with
document.forms[0].submit(); ?  Is there a workaround this?  I'm sure there
are someone out there doing similar thing.

Thanks!

JP



My action form:

 html:form action=/enterAppInfo1
onsubmit=validateEnterAppInfo1(this);
  html:errors /nbsp;
  html:select property=primAddrState
onchange='runSelectOnChange();'
 html:optionsCollection label=label value=value name=...
property=... /
  /html:select
 /html:form

 html:javascript formName=enterAppInfo1 /


 !-- Assuming one form per page, in the end of
doSomethingBeforeSubmit(...), I'm calling: --

RE: Validator using A href instead of html:submit

[Sandeep Takhar]

What is the javascript created by the custom tag when
looking at the source?

I think you shouldn't need to call:
validateEnterAppInfo1(this)

but what happens if you do?

maybe there is more than one form?  Is the form being
submitted and the data is in the form?

sorry I can't help any more than that.

RE: Validator using A href instead of html:submit

[Poon, Johnny]

Sandeep,

The validateEnterAppInfo1(form) method gets called with the submit button
hardcode w/i the html:form.  

If I remove the validateEnterAppInfo1(this) call, no javascript validation
will take place, while the server-side validation still works.

There is always going to be only one form per page, so using
document.forms[0].submit() should be ok.

When this form pass validation the data is submitted.


This is part of the generated javascripts:

script type=text/javascript language=Javascript1.1 

!-- Begin 

 var bCancel = false; 

function validateEnterAppInfo1(form) {

if (bCancel) 
  return true; 
else 
   return validateRequired(form); 
   } 

function required () { 
 this.aa = new Array(primAddrState, Please select your state of
residence to continue., new Function (varName,  return
this[varName];));
} 

function validateRequired(form) {
var isValid = true;
var focusField = null;
var i = 0;
var fields = new Array();
oRequired = new required();
for (x in oRequired) {
var field = form[oRequired[x][0]];

if (field.type == 'text' ||
field.type == 'textarea' ||
field.type == 'file' ||
field.type == 'select-one' ||
field.type == 'radio' ||
field.type == 'password') {

var value = '';
// get field's value
if (field.type ==
select-one) {
var si =
field.selectedIndex;
if (si = 0) {
value =
field.options[si].value;
}
} else {
value = field.value;
}

if (value == '') {

if (i == 0) {
focusField = field;
}
fields[i++] = oRequired[x][1];
isValid = false;
}
}
}
if (fields.length  0) {
   focusField.focus();
   alert(fields.join('\n'));
}
return isValid;
}

function required () { 
   this.aa = new Array(primAddrState, Please select your state of
residence to continue., new Function (varName,  return
this[varName];));
}

What is the javascript created by the custom tag when
looking at the source?

I think you shouldn't need to call:
validateEnterAppInfo1(this)

but what happens if you do?

maybe there is more than one form?  Is the form being
submitted and the data is in the form?

sorry I can't help any more than that.

RE: Validator using A href instead of html:submit

[Sandeep Takhar]

It seems to me like it should work.

I have used submit() on forms and it will go to the
action element of the form tag.  So this is just html
specs here.

Don't know why the validation is not being called. 
There should be some onSubmit= somewhere in the form
tag probably...

html:link/ w/out a href??

[Ben Anderson]

I have a form with 2 buttons.  I know I can handle this ok using the 
dispatch property.  But, what I'd rather do (so I don't have to put ugly 
query strings in my links) is use javascript.  What I'm wondering is, if 
there's a way to get action - link resolution that the html:link/ tag 
gives me without the a href=

code file=linker.jsp
   html
   head
   script type=text/javascript
 function clicked(){
  var link = html:link value=action/to/do/;
   // this won't work since the value in link is actually 
a href=action_to_do.jsp
   window.open( link );

Thanks,
Ben Anderson

Why not give the buttons a name and submit to a
process action.  This action checks the name and
forwards to the appropriate place..

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..

 action path=/home
scope=request

 type=org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction
validate=false
 /action

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

What I wanted to finish was the action...

 action path=/home
scope=request

 type=com.xxx.xxx.FowardAction
validate=false
   forward
name=display  path=my.home/
 /action

this probably doesn't answer your question the way you

you can always call this from another action

forward name=home path=/Home.do/

how to put a bean:write in a href=

[António Santos]

Hi all,

Maybe this is a simple question, but I'm stuck with this:
How can I set a href in a html:link tag with a string concatenated with a
bean:write...?
I mean, I want to do something like this:

html:link href=getorg.do?id=bean:write name=orglist
property=id/bean:write name=orglist property=id//html:link

Of course, this doesn't work.

I want href to have the string getorg.do?id= concatenated with the output
from bean:write name=orglist property=id/

I suppose this must be done with a scriptlet. By the way, the orglist bean
comes from a logic:iterate over a vector of Beans (named orglistview).

Anyone?

Thanks,

Antonio Santos

2 possibilities without using scriplets:

Of course, this doesn't work.

I want href to have the string getorg.do?id= concatenated with the output
from bean:write name=orglist property=id/

I suppose this must be done with a scriptlet. By the way, the orglist bean
comes from a logic:iterate over a vector of Beans (named orglistview).

Anyone?

Re: RE: how to put a bean:write in a href=

[António Santos]

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): 

html:text property=id value=bean:write name=orgview property=id//

in order to put the orgview's id property value in the value attribute of
the html:text tag?
Must I put a bean:define 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

I thought this was an easy question, as I said in my first post when I 
iterate and print a list of hyperlinks the link gets appended to the 
link of my webapp (http://localhost:8080/linkapp) instead of just being 
an independant link. any suggestions would be appreciated.

href to perform an action

[Cindy Horn at SF x4874]

I have a jsp with a list of shipment data where hrefs are defined on the
equipment keys.  I would like the client to click on the link to drill down
from the list to a detailed jsp.  If I do the following:

a href=/vcsc/shipmentTracking.do?equipmentNumber=MATU33445

I get a 404 url not found.  How do I get the link to go to the
shipmentTracking Action?  Do I need to create a form on the jsp and use the
onClick javascript to set the action of the form?

Thanks in advance,

Cindy

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 html:link 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: href to perform an action

[David Graham]

The generated link must look like:

a href=/context/shipmentTracking.do?param1=value1link/a

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.

RE: href to perform an action

[David Graham]

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 
when there are errors.  Validation is done in the ActionForm.validate() 
method.  See the users guide for details.

href to perform an action

[Mohan Radhakrishnan]

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

a href=javascript:window.location.reload(true)
  img name=img1 src=images/img1.gif width=38 height=34 border=0
alt=
/a

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

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
html:base/ 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 html:base/, 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,

Dylan MacDonald

dynamic href variable

[Christian Pich]

How do I populate the href attribute in the html:link tag?
I have the following code with a bean 'score' that contains
the url I want to put in the hyperlink tag.

html:link href=xxx target=_new
bean:write name=score property=url/
/html:link

where xxx should be the same as the body of this (Bean:write )
how can I populate the href with the dynamic content?
Obviously, you cannot put the bean:write ... tag into it.


By the way: it would be really helpful if we created example pages
for the major tags and their usages. Somehow the documentation works
only for people who know this fairly well. A lot of the questions could 
be avoided!

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 html:link tag to build these links so that I
would get something like:
a href=/myapp/logon.doLog On/a br
a href=/myapp/displayusers.doDisplay Users/a

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

TIA,
Karim

i am using the bean:include tag to insert different content in a

the complete path (http://.../.../;). The doc says that it will be
like it is. But if i want to use a local file then the whole url is
used and if i connect from external via dyndns the resource was not
found.

Any ideas ?

HREF issue

[Sidhartha Jain]

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 html:link 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=trueaction=Edittype='+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 .
I would be highly thankful to you.

Thanks in Advance
Sidhartha

I've used the following style and it's worked
could probably streamline it a bit with a

  window.open( , CreateNew,
height=500,width=550,resizable=1,scrollbars=1 );
}
/SCRIPT

html:link

I am having an issue with html:link 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=trueaction=Edittype='+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 .
I would be highly thankful to you.

Thanks in Advance
Sidhartha

Question on forwarding/redirecting/href usage...

[Alex Paransky]

When I use ActionForward I supply it the Context-relative URI to which
control should be forwarded.  However, when I want to use a href=... I
cannot use the Context-relative URI.  Thus my returnTo= backlink works
correctly if I use it with the ActionForward, but fails to work when used
with a href tag.

Is there a BEAN/TAG/METHOD that would convert a Context-relative URI to
something that I can use with an anchor tag?  I guess I could always call
request.getContext() and prepend that to the URI, however, this will only
work if the URI is context-relative.  In case URI is page-relative, no such
append is needed.  Is there something in JSP/Servlet/Struts that would do
these checks for me?

Thanks.

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=223context=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:

bean:define id=schoolId name=school property=id/
bean:define id=contextMode name=school property=context/

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

html:link href=/school/maintenance.jsp name=map /

I would rather see syntax like this:

html:link href=/school/maintenance.jsp
  html:linkParam id=schoolId name=school property=id/
  html:linkParam id=context name=school property=context/
/html

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.

Solved: Access to localized messages to build an href

[Jim Tomlinson]

Got around it by using the actual locale:

  %@ page import=org.apache.struts.action.Action %

  bean:define id=locale name=%=Action.LOCALE_KEY%
type=java.util.Locale/

  a href=%=refstart + locale.toString() + /refend.html%Click here
  /a

I still haven't answered my original question, but it's now moot.

Re: converting A HREF to submit...

[Trever M. Shick]

With standard html you can do this:

input type=hidden name=action value=default
a href= onClick=myForm.action.value='link1';myForm.submit()

This way, the submitted form will now have a NV pair of action=link1
as well as the rest of the form values.

html:link href to external URL in a

Hi

This may be in the FAQ/archive but I can't find it!

If I have a dynamically generated external URL available in the
request/session object, e.g. http://www.banana.com;, how do I write a
html:link href tag such that the link takes the user to that external
URL? (Without using scriptlets?)

I effectively want to do: html:link href=bean:write name=abcd property
=xyz/
bean:write name=abcd property=xyz/
/html:link

but can't do nested tags.

How do I dynamically populate the content of the href attribute?

You can do this by just coding the link in with an HTML anchor tag as
folows:

/a

or use an expression

html:link href=%=abcd.getXyz()%

Re: inconsistency between html:link href=... and html:form action=...

[Fyodor Golos]

John,

My apologies - I did not express myself clearly in the first email. I
would like to provide GLOBAL FORWARD, not ACTION NAME
in html:form action=... field.

The real reason I am bringing this question up is the Use Global
Forwards for all entry points to applications Struts pattern
described by Ted Husted at
http://husted.com/about/scaffolding/catalog.htm. I am trying to stick to
that pattern and use only
global forwards on my JSP pages.

Am I on the right track? Can anyone share their preferred way of using
forwards vs. actions on JSP pages and within actions
themselves?

Maybe I misunderstood what you said...

The action path specified in html:form action=.. is already a
logical
path which is defined in action path=.. in the struts-config.xml.

According to documentation, html:link href=... takes either a name

of a global forward, an arbitrary href, or a context-rooted page URL.
On
the other hand, html:form action=... only allows one type: a URL
to
which the form should be submitted.

Is it unreasonable to expect somewhat consistent behavior between the
two? I would love to specify a global action name as form action
field.
That way my JSP pages NEVER reference physical locations but logical
action names only.

Linking HREF with Action

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 ?

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.

RE: Linking HREF with Action

[dhay]

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
tag, I get an error.

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

Cheers for any help,

Dave

In that case you can just use any old actionformobject and asssociate it,
what you will then use out of the mapping in the config file is only the
action, and just ignore the actionform.

Point of clarification other interested newbies, using a form's 'action'
value as the link's 'href' value will not work - the reason mine wasn't
working.  For instance,

form action=SomeAction

may work, where as

a href=SomeAction~~~/a or html:link href=SomeAction~~~/html:link

will not.

 Using the struts html:form tag will set the method to POST by default.
This
 won't prevent you from using the link as you describe though.  The service
 methods of an HttpServlet doPost() and doGet() will accomplish essentially
 the same goal (often doGet() will just call doPost() ).  In the case of
the
 struts ActionServlet, both of these methods call process().  So you can
use
 a query string to pass your parameters (or extra path info if you wish).

 So, that was a little long-winded way of saying that your link can look
 like:
 a href=/someContext/someAction.do?param1=fooparam2=barparam3=bazLINK
 TEXT/a

 Hope this helps!!

 Subject: Reaching Action class from Href Link


 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

[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.

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:
jsp:useBean id=info class=logon.InfoForm scope=session /
jsp:getProperty name=info property=someInfo /

Does anyone else have a more elegant solution to this?

Subject: RE: Reaching Action class from Href Link


In my JSP, I've got:

html:link href=editProduct.do paramId=productId paramName=product
paramProperty=ID
iMy link goes here/i
/html:link


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

...
form-bean name=productForm
type=com.zerog.u2d.web.struts.product.ProductForm/

...
action path=/editProduct
type=com.zerog.u2d.web.struts.product.EditProduct
name=productForm
input=/devportal/template.jsp?page=PRODUCT
validate=true

forward name=next path=/devportal/template.jsp?page=PRODUCT/
/action



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!

Thanks to John and Ken for the assistance.

Point of clarification other interested newbies, using a form's 'action'
value as the link's 'href' value will not work - the reason mine wasn't
working.  For instance,

form action=SomeAction

may work, where as

a href=SomeAction~~~/a or html:link href=SomeAction~~~/html:link

 Using the struts html:form tag will set the method to POST by default.
This
 won't prevent you from using the link as you describe though.  The service
 methods of an HttpServlet doPost() and doGet() will accomplish essentially
 the same goal (often doGet() will just call doPost() ).  In the case of

RE: Reaching Action class from Href Link

[Greg Maletic]

Now I'm really confused!  Your original problem was that you wanted to have
a link forward to an action.  Your clarification shows how to do it from a
form (form action=SomeAction), but then you say that using a link or
href will not work.  That doesn't seem to solve your original problem, does
it?

Please let me know what I'm missing here, because I'm having this problem as
well.

Thanks!

 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

[Martin Cooper]

If you use the Struts html:form 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 html:link 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

[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.

Ken clarified my point - that in a form's 'action' you don't need to tack
the '.do' extension to the end of the action mapping (ie
action=SomeAction).  In a link's 'href' value you do need to tack on the
'do' extension (ie the value changes to href=SomeAction.do).

I believe this comes w/ a caveat as the '.do' extension can be changed.  By
default the extension is '.do' in the web.xml file.  I haven't tried this,
but I would imagine if you changed the extension in the web.xml file, you'd
have to also reflect the change in your links.

 Subject: Reaching Action class from Href Link


 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: HREF link question - oops!

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

Thanks again,

Rick

Hi Craig,

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

 I code the following link:

 html:link 
 page=/jsp/prodinfo/prodinfo.jspIntroduction/html:link

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

 When I use the html:base/ tag:

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

 The link is generated as:

 a 
 href=/backup/jsp/prodinfo/prodinfo.jspIntroduction/aas 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.

  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.
 

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:

 html:link page=/jsp/faq/faq1.jspTo the FAQ/html:link

  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.]
 

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.


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

See the html:base/ tag for a way to do this automatically.

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

  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 a href tags using the
   BASE HREF=%= http://;
   +request.getServerName() +:
   +request.getServerPort()
   +request.getContextPath() %/ 
   base tag setting.
 
  Thank you in advance to anyone who can help,
