Hi All, I've gone through the samples and archives and still am having trouble getting return values from an Action.
I followed the sample code for a simple action: public class GSLoginAction extends AbstractAction { public Map act (Redirector redirector, SourceResolver resolver, Map objectModel, String source, Parameters params) { String strUserID; String strPwd; String strPlayerID = ""; Request request = ObjectModelHelper.getRequest(objectModel); strUserID = request.getParameter("userID"); strPwd = request.getParameter("pwd"); // do something with the request parameters here and set strPlayerID sitemapParams.put("playerID", strPlayerID); request.setAttribute("playerID", strPlayerID); if (// the right thing happened) { return sitemapParams; }else { return(null); } } It is defined in the sitemap under <map:actions>, pointing to the correct class file. The action is called from this pipeline fragment, which is attached to the "ACTION" button of a form with two text boxes, "userID" and "pwd". <map:match pattern="login"> <map:act type="gs-login"> <map:parameter name="use-request-parameters" value="true"/> <map:parameter name="userID" value="{1}"/> <map:parameter name="pwd" value="{2}"/> <map:redirect-to uri="summary"> <map:parameter name="playerID" value="{playerID}"/> </map:redirect-to> </map:act> <map:redirect-to uri="gs"/> </map:match> I know that the action is running, and the parameters are passed in, because of some debugging I did in the Java code. I seem to be getting something back, becuase if I enter correct values on the form, redirect to "summary" does happen. Otherwise it goes to "gs". <map:match pattern="summary"> <map:generate src="gs.xml"/> <map:transform src="gs.xsl"> <map:parameter name="use-request-parameters" value="true"/> <map:parameter name="pagename" value="summary"/> <map:parameter name="playerID" value="{1}"/> </map:transform> <map:transform src="default-html.xsl"/> <map:serialize type="html"/> </map:match> The problem is that "playedID" is not being passed to "summary". Do I simply have a syntax error in working with the parameter, or is it more complicated than that?
