Hmm. I use the same combo. I found at some point I could jsut do
public class MyAction extends ActionSupport { private MyInjectedService service etc etc But I have started doing: public class MyAction extends ActionSupport { @Autowired private MyInjectedService service I am not sure if that alters the way Struts2/Spring does it. But it does make it a bit clearer to read. -----Original Message----- From: Jake Vang [mailto:vangj...@googlemail.com] Sent: 13 May 2010 10:23 To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: spring, struts2, convention plugin, how to "wire" an action class i am using struts 2.1.8.1 and the convention plugin. i am also using spring for dependency injections (DI). my question is if it is possible to to use struts2 + convention plugin with spring for DI on my Action classes? i have searched the internet but only seen examples using struts 1 + spring for DI on Action classes. the convention plugin makes life simpler (no XML), but also, partially because of little documentation, makes it uneasy to do certain things. i wonder if this is part of the reason why DI on Action classes using spring + struts is not obvious for me. Here's a simple code. This is my action class. public class SpringWiringAction extends ActionSupport { private String message = "no dependency injection"; @Action(value="/spring-wiring") public String springWiring() { return SUCCESS; } public String getMessage() { return message; } public void setMessage(String message) { this.message = message; } } My "view" or the JSP page corresponding to the Action is: /webapp/WEB-INF/content/spring-wiring-success.jsp. <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%> <%...@taglib uri="/struts-tags" prefix="s" %> <html> <head><title>Test Spring Wiring</title</head> <body> <s:property value="message"/> </body> </html> My web.xml is setup according to http://struts.apache.org/2.0.14/docs/struts-2-spring-2-jpa-ajax.html. My spring XML file (/webapp/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml) is defined as following. ... <bean id="placeholderConfig" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfi gurer"> <property name="location" value="WEB-INF/applicationContext.properties"/> </bean> ... <bean name="/spring-wiring" class="com.me.actions.SpringWiringAction"> <property name="message" value="${message}"/> </bean> My /webapp/WEB-INF/applicationContext.properties file then has this content. message=dependency inject success when i start up tomcat 6, everything starts up correctly and there are no complaints. however, when i go to http://localhost/webapp/spring-wiring, the message that gets displayed is "no dependency injection". is there something that i am missing using spring + struts2 (with the convention plugin) to use DI on Actions? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org
