I have a class FindEditorData.java. I want to pass a
vairable 'username' to this class for some processing.
This class is invoked from a JSP:
<html:form action="/find/Category">
<html:submit>View Articles</html:submit>
and the value of the 'username' is obtained this way:
String username = request.getRemoteUser();
Due to my limited knowledge in Struts, I cannot
figure out what to do. Let me explain the problem:
1. This class has this method:
public Object execute() throws Exception { ... }
I do not make this class extends HttpServlet or
extends Action. I cannot nest a method inside a
doGet/doPost or the Action's excute().
2. The action mapping in the struts-config.xml is this
way:
<action
roles="editor"
path="/find/Category"
type="org.apache.struts.scaffold.ProcessAction"
parameter="org.XYZ.article.FindEditorData"
name="articleForm"
validate="false">
<forward
name="success"
path=".article.Result"/>
</action>
I am stuck because I do not know how to pass
'username' to the FindEditorData.java. I cannot
state:
String username = request.getRemoteUser();
or
String username = (String)session.getAttribute(
"EditorName" );
because the FindEditorData is not a servlet and
does not extend Action.
I cannot pass a hidden variable from the JSP because I
do not know how to retrieve the value of a hidden
variable in a Java class.
Need clever ideas. Please help.
