Hi,
I need to do something that looks very simple to me :
- a form with a select list
- the data in the list comes from database
- when submitting the form, I want to validate datas. If it doesn't
validate, I display the form again
I configured two actions :
- An "init" action, that loads data from the database and redirects to the
JSP page
- A "submit" action, that validates datas and writes data in the database
<package name="absences" namespace="/absences" extends="struts-default">
<action name="initCreerDemandeAbsence"
class="creerDemandeAbsenceAction" method="init">
<result
name="success">/jsp/absences/creerDemandeAbsence.jsp</result>
</action>
<action name="submitCreerDemandeAbsence"
class="creerDemandeAbsenceAction">
<interceptor-ref name="defaultStack" />
<result
name="input">/absences/initCreerDemandeAbsence.action</result>
<result
name="success">/jsp/absences/confirmerCreationDemandeAbsence.jsp</result>
</action>
</package>
</struts>
My action class extends ActionSupport and contains variables and the
following methods :
public String init() throws Exception {
this.motifs = getServiceAbsence().getAllMotifsAbsence();
return SUCCESS;
}
public String execute() throws Exception {
demandeAbsence.setMatriculeAuteur(SecurityContextHolder.getContext
().getAuthentication().getName());
demandeAbsence.setVisa(VisaDemande.VISA_ATTENTE.getValue());
demandeAbsence.setLignes(new
VOLigneDemandeAbsence[]{getLigneDemandeAbsence()});
demandeAbsence = getServiceAbsence().createDemande(demandeAbsence);
return SUCCESS;
}
And my JSP page is as following :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED] contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"
%>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED] prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Demande d'absence</title>
<s:head theme="ajax" />
</head>
<body>
<s:actionerror />
<s:form action="submitCreerDemandeAbsence" id="form1" validate="false"
method="post">
<s:datetimepicker
name="demandeAbsence.dateDemande"
label="Date de la demande"
required="true"
requiredposition="left"
displayFormat="dd/MM/yyyy"
/>
....
<s:select
name="ligneDemandeAbsence.motif"
label="Motif"
list="motifs"
listKey="nom"
listValue="nom"
headerKey=""
headerValue="--- Sélectionnez un motif ---"
required="true"
requiredposition="left"
/>
....
<s:submit
type="button"
theme="xhtml"
/>
</s:form>
</body>
</html>
But it doesn't work this way : when there are validation errors, I have a
404 HTTP error when trying to redirect to "initCreerDemandeAbsence" action
(I need to do this to have the select list datas loaded from database).
In fact it works only when I set a JSP page as result ...
Anyone knows how to set an action as an input result rather than a JSP page
?
And are there better practices to do what I want ?
Thanks in advance
Olivier
