I have a "list" of articles to be retrieved from the
database and displayed.
The first time I display the list, I simply sort the
list by posting date and descending order (without
providing a form) when I query the database.
Thereafter, users are offered opportunities on top of
the table of the list to choose 'sort' criteria from a
drop down menu and to choose 'order', which is either
ascending or descending, with a GO button. That is to
say, the same action (ListArticles) is called with a
'form' consisting of two menus.
In my Java class that extends Action, I did the
following:
String sort = request.getParameter( "sort" );
String order = request.getParameter( "order" );
if ( sort.length() == 0 ) sort = "PostDate";
if ( order.length()== 0 ) order = "DESC";
I do not know how to handle the name attribute of the
<action .... /> tag in the struts-config.xml.
Those are the same action. There is actually an empty
form the first time the action is called. And there
is a form consisting of two menus the second time the
action is called.
I need your instructions and help.
