Hiya,
Just started using maverick. Luv it. Gotta slight problem and feeling I'm going mad. I
think I've got it wrong about how you extend controllers. I have this app I'm
building, and have a problem where the setters for form variables are not being
called. I just know I'm doing something wrong, but can't see where, and I've re-read
the manual supplied (thankyou guys) and studied the 'pig' with no luck. I've got
cut-down code below and would love any help people can give me:
classes:
public class ControllerErrorable extends ThrowawayBean2
{
... hasErrors, getErrors etc...
}
public class Menu extends ControllerErrorable
{
...setters and getters for some menu stuff...
protected String perform()
throws Exception
{
super.perform();
...other stuff
}
}
public class Calculator extends Menu
{
...setters and getters for special calculations...
...and also:
public void setTerm(String value)
{
System.out.println("Hey! How come I'm not being called?");
this.term = stringToDouble(value);
}
protected String perform()
throws Exception
{
super.perform();
...other stuff
}
}
maverick.xml:
<command name="calculator">
<controller class="com.dcg.ctl.Calculator" />
<view name="success" path="tools/calculator.jsp">
<transform path="outerPageWrapper.jsp"/>
</view>
</command>
tools/calculator.jsp:
<form blah blah>
...other input...
<input
type="text"
name="term"
size="4"
maxlength="4"
value="<c:out value="${model.longTerm}"/>" />
...submit...
</form>
I must be doing something seriously wrong here, because when I call 'calculator.m',
the tools/calculator.jsp runs ok. I fill in a value for the input field 'term', and
click submit. The 'Menu' class appears to have it's setters and it's perform() called
fine. What doesn't seem to be happening is the call to setTerm(String value) within
the Calculator controller.
I iterated over the Request and get this:
(iterating over the request parameters)
12:48:23,579 INFO [STDOUT] [product] == [bnpl]
12:48:23,579 INFO [STDOUT] [period] == [0]
12:48:23,579 INFO [STDOUT] [amount] == [0]
12:48:23,579 INFO [STDOUT] [action] == [obq]
12:48:23,579 INFO [STDOUT] [deposit] == []
12:48:23,589 INFO [STDOUT] [term] == [36] <<===
12:48:23,589 INFO [STDOUT] [apr] == []
(then called getAction() and getTerm() deliberately within perform() within the
Calculator class)
12:48:23,579 INFO [STDOUT] action==[obq]
12:48:23,579 INFO [STDOUT] term==[0.0] <<==
So 'term' is being sent through. I'm stumped and feeling a tad dim. Can anyone help?
