Hi guys,
I'm currently looking into ease of development of using AngularJS with
Struts2.
I'm wondering what is the best practice in general
ie. AngularJS with $resource or $http, Struts2 with what plugin ?
Is the REST + convention plugin a must to support AngularJS's RESTful
nature ?
I'm currently using Struts2 with no REST plugin and notice that if I do
something like this
CustomerService.save($scope.newCustomer);
In Chrome's Developer tools, Content-Type:application/json;charset=UTF-8
and data is a JSON string but it's in the Request Payload
Normally it's Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded and data is in
Form Data
I have
private Customer customer;
in my Action class and the approriate getter and setter, but they are not
called by the framework
I understand that I can get the data via http request's inputstream, but
then I have to transfer the data to my Customer object manually (I use
Gson) and I think that will bypass all my interceptors, especially
validation.
Did a bit of research on the internet and it seems that using the REST
plugin should work, but it needs a bit of modification on the AngularJS
part ($http interceptor ?)
Struts2 won't populate my Customer object with this (which is normal plain
AngularJS)
{name:"abc",address:"abc"}
Have to change to
{customer:{name:"abc",address:"abc"}}
