the "dynamic namespace assignment" ListPeopleAction example
package org.apache.struts2.showcase.person;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;
import org.apache.struts2.convention.annotation.ParentPackage;
import org.apache.struts2.convention.annotation.Result;
@ParentPackage("person")
@Namespace(value="listPerson") //theoretically this should change namespace
from /person to /listPerson
@Results({
@Result(name="list", location="list-people.action", type="redirect"),
@Result(name="input", location = "list-people.action", type="redirect"),
@Result(name="success", location = "listPerson.jsp", type="redirect")
//produces No result defined for action
org.apache.struts2.showcase.person.NewPersonAction and result input
//com.opensymphony.xwork2.DefaultActionInvocation.executeResult(DefaultActionInvocation.java:375)
//@Result(name="input", location="/person/editPerson.jsp"),
})
public class ListPeopleAction extends ActionSupport {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 3608017189783645371L;
PersonManager personManager;
List people = new ArrayList();
public void setPersonManager(PersonManager personManager) {
this.personManager = personManager;
}
public String execute() {
people.addAll(personManager.getPeople());
return SUCCESS;
}
public List getPeople() {
return people;
}
public int getPeopleCount() {
return people.size();
}
}
theoretically listPerson namespace is supposed to replace default assigment of
'person' so lets take a look at behavior once struts-showcase webapp is loaded:
http://localhost:8080/struts2-apps/person
I see the original 2 menu options:
1) Create a new Person
2) List all persons
I want to see if the /listPerson is assigned is working so I click on 2)List
all persons and the dispatcher takes me to
http://localhost:8080/struts2-apps/person/listPeople.action
listPeople.action is correct because @Result(name="input", location =
"list-people.action", type="redirect")
but the dynamic re-assigment of namespace /person to listPerson has not taken
plac
I then correct address bar
http://localhost:8080/struts2-apps/listPerson/listPeople.action
and am displayed 404 by dispatcher
2 possible courses of action
1)redact @Namespace since it doesnt invoke JDKProxy to redirect namespace
'person' to 'listPerson'
2)is there a way to change xwork ObjectFactory to not use ProxyObjectFactory or
CGLIB but the JDK Proxy change:
<xwork>
<bean type="com.opensymphony.xwork2.ObjectFactory" name="default"
class="com.opensymphony.xwork2.ProxyObjectFactory" />
to a factory which will implement JDK Proxy e.g:
// Implement interface
Class<?> clazz = Class.forName("Namespace");
Object listenerInstance = Proxy.newProxyInstance(clazz.getClassLoader(),
new Class<?>[]{clazz}, new InvocationHandler() {
@Override
public Object invoke(Object proxy, Method method, Object[] args) throws
Throwable {
if(method.getName().equals("onReceive")){
System.out.println("ARGS: " + (Integer)args[0] + ", " +
(Integer)args[1]);
return 1;
}
else return -1;
}
});
Thoughts?
