Hello,
I have been using struts 2.0.9 to build my application. In all of my
JSPs I would like to display a welcome page involving a user name. I already
have an action to get/set this value so I would like to do the following in
a JSP included in all of my other JSPs:
<s:action name="UserInfo!getInfo" namespace="/user" executeResult="false"
id="userInfo"/>
Welcome, <s:property value="userpref.displayName"/>
However, this doesn't seem to work. My action is called and executes
properly, but the property tag does not produce a value. Through some
stepping through of struts classes, I see that actions called via the action
tag are placed in the value stack context and not pushed onto the stack.
When extracting values, the context map is queried with the full "
userpref.displayName" string, i.e. the dot notation is not honored as it is
when finding a value in the stack.
Is there any way to do this nicely? Or should I re-factor my actions so that
a super class of all my actions performs the user name lookup and exposes it
through a getter? Then I would use the main (?) action and not have the
action tag in the JSP.
