Ok. But can you please tell me whats wrong with the following code.
Struts.xml:
<action name="contact!*" method="{1}"
class="org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.struts2.contact.Contact">
<result name="input" type="tiles">.Contact</result>
</action>
velocity-page:
<form id="contactForm" name="contactForm" onsubmit="return true;"
action="/roller-weblogger/roller-ui/contact/contact!save.rol" method="post">
<table class="formtable">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="label"><label
for="username">Username</label></td>
<td class="field"><input name="bean.user" size="30"
maxlength="48" value="" id="contact_bean_user" type="text">
</td>
<td class="description">Username</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="label"><label for="blog">Blog</label></td>
<td class="field"><input name="bean.blog" size="30"
maxlength="48" value="" id="contact_bean_blog" type="text"></td>
<td class="description">Blog</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<br>
<br>
<div class="control">
<input type="submit" id="contact_save" name="save"
value="Save"/>
</div>
</form>
Contact.java
public class Contact extends UIAction {
private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(Contact.class);
// a bean to store our form data
private ContactBean bean = new ContactBean();
public Contact() {
this.actionName = "Contact";
this.pageTitle = "contact.title.contact";
log.info("Testing 1");
}
public String execute() {
log.info("Execute contact");
return INPUT;
}
/**
* Save form info
*/
public String save() {
ContactBean cb = getBean();
String user = cb.getUser();
String blog = cb.getBlog();
log.info(user + " "+blog);
log.info("Testing 2");
return INPUT;
}
public ContactBean getBean() {
return bean;
}
public void setBean(ContactBean bean) {
this.bean = bean;
}
}
ContactBean.java
public class ContactBean {
private String blog = null;
private String user = null;
public String getUser() {
return user
}
public void setUser(String user) {
this.user = user;
}
public String getBlog() {
return blog
}
public void setBlog(String blog) {
this.blog = blog;
}
}
I only get "Testing 1" in the log and if I include "save()" in the end of
"public Contact()" I get "StandardWrapperValve:invoke - Servlet.service()
for servlet default threw exception java.lang.NullPointerException at
org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.struts2.contact.ContactBean.getUser". Would
be really appreciated If you could tell me if I have made some obvious
error.
