Alright, so here are a few suggestions.
1. You want to submit the form and have Stripes update the select
statements:
With this approach you need to track a desired state filter. so you need a
hidden field with this info. in the onchange event for each state select
you simply update the hidden fields value. Here is how I did it:
<html>
<head>
<title>State Select</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeDesiredStateFilter(state) {
document.getElementById('desiredStateFilter').value = state;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<s:form beanclass="com.pnp.web.action.StateSelectActionBean">
<s:select name="stateFilterTop" id="stateFilterTop"
onchange="changeDesiredStateFilter(1);">
<s:options-collection collection="${actionBean.states}"/>
</s:select>
<hr/>
<hr/>
<s:select name="stateFilterBottom" id="stateFilterBottom"
onchange="changeDesiredStateFilter(2);">
<s:options-collection collection="${actionBean.states}"/>
</s:select>
<br/>
<s:submit name="search" value="Search"/>
<s:hidden name="desiredStateFilter" value="1" id="desiredStateFilter" />
</s:form>
</body>
</html>
The next problem is getting the 2 select elements to be the same. I was
able to achieve it this way:
public class StateSelectActionBean extends BaseActionBean {
private static final Integer TOP = 1;
private static final Integer BOTTOM = 2;
private List<String> states;
private String stateFilterTop;
private String stateFilterBottom;
private Integer desiredStateFilter;
private String actualStateFilter;
// removed getters and setters to save space
@After(on = {"display", "search"}, stages =
{LifecycleStage.BindingAndValidation})
public void initLists() {
states = new ArrayList<String>();
states.add("KS");
states.add("MO");
states.add("OK");
states.add("NE");
}
@After(on = {"search"}, stages = {LifecycleStage.BindingAndValidation})
public void checkFilter() {
if (desiredStateFilter.equals(TOP)) {
setStateFilterBottom(stateFilterTop);
actualStateFilter = stateFilterTop;
} else {
setStateFilterTop(stateFilterBottom);
actualStateFilter = stateFilterBottom;
}
}
@DontValidate
@DefaultHandler
public Resolution display() {
return new ForwardResolution("/WEB-INF/jsp/state_select.jsp");
}
public Resolution search() {
//TODO use actionStateFilter to perform your search
return new RedirectResolution(StateSelectActionBean.class)
.addParameter("stateFilterBottom", stateFilterBottom)
.addParameter("stateFilterTop", stateFilterTop);
}
}
I had to use a redirect because of how the population strategy works in
Stripes. If you are able to change it app wide then you can still do a
forward and it will work as expected. Otherwise you would need to append
your search results to the redirect as well. This could be kind of messy.
But doable.
2. Simply use JavaScript to do the brunt of the work.
Have a hidden field that stores the desired filter. Use JavaScript so that
when one of the select elements changes it modifies the other one to be the
same. Then they submit the same results. But all you care about is the
desired state that you wrote to the hidden field.
Either way, you need javascript and I would personally opt for option #2 as
it is the simplest.
