Exception :
Description: The requested resource /Strut2Examples/checkMethods/updateCRUD is not available. How to call the namespace based action from normal HTML for with Struts2. It works with Struts2 Forms. Please help me to understand.
HTML :
<s:form namespace="/checkMethods" action="executeCRUD" >
<s:submit label="execute" value="execute" />
</s:form>
<form name="normalForm" id="normalForm">
<input type="button" value="update" onclick="submitForm()"/>
</form>
Java Script :
<script type="text/javascript">
function submitForm()
{
var myForm = document.getElementById("normalForm");
myForm.action="checkMethods/updateCRUD";
myForm.submit();
}
</script>
If you want to use HTML form tag you should build the URL using the action name and namespace attributes of the url tag. For example
<form action="<s:url namespace="/checkMethods" action="deleteCRUD"/>" method="POST">
The same concern the JavaScript code where you could mix url tag. Like this
myForm.action='<s:url namespace="/checkMethods" action="deleteCRUD"/>';
Actually if you define the action attribute of the form you don't need to construct the URL in the event handler function. Just do submit() .
You should take url tag seriously, because for example you have constructed URL in the action attribute that lacks context path and slash and errors like that you did can't count.

(Oups.. Sorry for my english :) )
In my web application, Struts2 is used as the main Servlet dispatcher and filter. But For some reasons, i have a custom filter and a custom servlet used for a specific url "/book".
But I have some commons jsp... i had some issues when the custom Servlet should display my request attributes in the JSP because of the struts tags (implemented before). So i changed these tag by the jstl taglibs and it works now.
But... In one JSP, the main (lol)... I have a search form.. This JSP is included in several JSPs and could be called by Struts and the custom Servlet..
With only Struts the tag was "< s:form>.." and when the form was submitted, all sended values was kept in the input... But now, because of the custom Servlet i use a simple html form which is calling the struts action "search.do".
As source code is below:
<form method="post" action="<c:out value="${contextPath}"/>/search.do" name="search" id="search">
<input type="text" id="search_searchWord" value="" maxlength="200" size="100" name="searchWord">
<div align="right">
<input type="submit" value="Ok" name="searchButton" id="search">
</div>
<select id="search_searchCrit" name="searchCrit">
<option value="0">Crit1</option>
<option value="1">Crit2</option>
<option value="2">Crit3</option>
</select>
</form>
My problem is the search word and the selected option are refreshed after the submit. I need to keep them !
Is there a way to use the struts taglibs with a Standard Servlet ?
Or Do you have another solution to keep the submitted information ?
Thanks all !
take each field value from the input field and write js function to fill each field in jsp source code of your page.
function selectedValue(){
var value =<%=request.getParameter("searchCrit")%>;
if(value !=null)
{
document.getElementById('search_searchCrit').innerHTML=value;
}
}
I found a solution with the help of #java_seeker.
In my Struts action, i got the request through this way :
HttpServletRequest request = ServletActionContext.getRequest();
request.setAttribute("searchWord", this.getSearchWord());
There is two different way to do this, see: http://www.mkyong.com/struts2/how-to-get-the-httpservletrequest-in-struts-2/
The attribute is setted in each method (in the action) that could refresh the page.
Then, i just recovered and set the attribute from the request as a variable with a jstl tag and display it as the value of my html input:
<c:set var="searchWord" value='<%=request.getAttribute("searchWord") %>' />
<input type="text" id="search_searchWor" value='<c:out value="${searchWord}" />' name="searchWord">
For the , i just used an <c:choose><c:when test=""></c:when><c:otherwise><c:otherwise></c:choose> to set the selected choice.
Now all value are always displayed. Maybe it's not the very good way to display share the same JSP between a standard servlet and a Struts action, but it works. I'm open to try a better solution if you have one! Thanks all!
im newbie in Jquery , i want to do a placeholder in jsf , something like this : http://niklaskoehler.de/demos/vordefinierter-text/ . I've the next code :
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var $ = jQuery;
var Element = "#email";
var InputText = "Placeholder demo";
$(Element).val(InputText);
alert("sup bro"); //this alert works
$(Element).bind('focus',function(){
$(this).addClass('focus');
if($(this).val()==InputText){
$(this).val('');
}
}).bind('blur',function(){
if($(this).val()==""){
$(this).val(InputText);
$(this).removeClass('focus');
}
});
});
</script>
</head>
And this is my form :
<h:form>
<div class="form-item">
<h:inputText id="email" title="Email" value="#{UserAction.email}"/>
</div>
</h:form>
And nothing happen with the input , what is wrong in my code?
jQuery doesn't work with JSF component tree in server side. Instead, it works with HTML DOM tree in client side. In case of JSF, you should instead be looking at JSF-generated HTML output while writing jQuery. As you're encountering rather unpredictable HTML element IDs like pbGfb9435b3_2d720d_2d478d_2d8183_2d657b3839216b_j_id1:j_idt5:email, you're likely running a JSF portlet instead of servlet. The pgXxx ID prefix occurs on portlets only.
As a word of advice, don't select non-unique elements by ID. Select by class name instead.
E.g.
<h:inputText ... styleClass="email" />
with
var selector = ".email";
var inputText = "Placeholder demo";
$(selector).val(inputText);
(I took the liberty to fix poor variable names; they should not start with uppercase and the CSS selector is not an element)

Sark,
Execute your web page and viewsource for same.
Whatever ID you will find for your <input type='text' id='something'
add the same id to your Jquery
var Element = "#something";
I am trying to find a way to invoke a piece of java code within the JSP using HTML form
<form method="get" action="invokeMe()">
<input type="submit" value="click to submit" />
</form>
<%
private void invokeMe(){
out.println("He invoked me. I am happy!");
}
%>
the above code is within the JSP. I want this run the scriptlet upon submit
I know the code looks very bad, but I just want to grasp the concept... and how to go about it.
thanks
You can use Ajax to submit form to servlet and evaluate java code, but stay on the same window.
<form method="get" action="invokeMe()" id="submit">
<input type="submit" value="click to submit" />
</form>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#submit").submit(function(event) {
$.ajax({
type : "POST",
url : "your servlet here(for example: DeleteUser)",
data : "id=" + id,
success : function() {
alert("message");
}
});
$('#submit').submit(); // if you want to submit form
});
});
</script>
Sorry,not possible.
Jsp lies on server side and html plays on client side unless without making a request you cannot do this :)
you cannot write a java method in scriptlet. Because at compilation time code in scriptlet becomes part of service method. Hence method within a method is wrong.
How ever you can write java methods within init tag and can call from scriptlet like below code.
<form method="get" action="">
<input type="submit" value="click to submit" />
</form>
<%
invokeMe();
%>
<%!
private void invokeMe(){
out.println("He invoked me. I am happy!");
}
%>
Not possible.
When the form is submitted, it sends a request to the server. You have 2 options:
Have the server perform the desired action when the it receives the request sent by the form
or
Use Javascript to perform the desired action on the client:
<form name="frm1" action="submit" onsubmit="invokeMe()"
...
</form>
<script>
function invokeMe()
{
alert("He invoked me. I am happy!")
}
</script>
You can't do this since JSP rendering happens on server-side and client would never receive the Java code (ie. the invokeMe() function) in the returned HTML. It wouldn't know what to do with Java code at runtime, anyway!
What's more, <form> tag doesn't invoke functions, it sends an HTTP form to the URL specified in action attribute.
In my jsp page, there is link as follows.
<s:url var="editReqDetails" action="editReqDetails">
<s:param name="siteID" value="siteId"/>
</s:url>
when I click on that link, browser URL is
http://localhost:7101/legal/editReqDetails?siteID=99
like above.(The parameter shows in the URL.)
I want to know how to hide above highlighted part(the parameter) from the url.
If you can use javascript you could do this
<s:a href="#" onclick="window.location.href='%{editReqDetails}'">Edit Details</s:a>
This way you "hide" the url from the user. Though I'm not sure what the big problem is. If the user is malicious he can easily look in the source and get the values.
No, you can't use this. You pass parameter with http GET method that is default used in s:url tag and you want to get http POST method behavior. See the usage of struts url and choose one http GET or POST method.
You can do this:
<form id="edit-form" action="editReqDetails" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="siteID" value="siteId" />
</form>
Then:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#your-link").click(function(e) {
$("#edit-form").submit();
});
});
</script>
%{#request.contextPath} doesn't work inside an s:a tag in Struts2. (Struts 2.2.1 to be specific.) Is there a way to make it work? It works in other Struts2 tags.
Here are two lines in a JSP file in a Struts 2 project whose context path is "/websites":
<s:a href="%{#request.contextPath}/clickme" theme="simple">Click here.</s:a>
<s:form method="post" action="%{#request.contextPath}/submitme" theme="simple"></s:form>
And here is the output:
Click here.
<form id="submitme" name="submitme" action="/websites/submitme" method="post"></form>
Notice that the context path is left off the anchor but is included in the form.
P.S. I can't use ${#pageContext.request.contextPath} here because ${} isn't allowed in Struts2 tags. Besides, I'm trying to be consistent. And I also try generally to avoid ${} since it does not auto-escape the output.
Thanks!
This should work:
<s:set id="contextPath" value="#request.get('javax.servlet.forward.context_path')" />
<s:a href="%{contextPath}/clickme" theme="simple">Click here.</s:a>
However, you're not supposed to do this. When you need an url, use the <s:url> tag:
<%-- Without specifying an action --%>
<s:url id="myUrl" value="clickme" />
<s:a href="%{myUrl}" theme="simple">Click here.</s:a>
<%-- With an action --%>
<s:url id="myUrl" action="clickme" />
<s:a href="%{myUrl}" theme="simple">Click here.</s:a>
By the way, you don't need a context path for the action attribute of a form:
<s:form method="post" action="submitme" theme="simple"></s:form>
Does Struts 2 support EL?
You can use ${request.contextPath} if it does....
