MG>Not a Struts Interceptor as Lukasz had mentioned<br>
MG>If you are absolutely convinced that you want to use Angular instead of
jquery<br>
MG>1) get Struts2-Jquery Showcase working from
https://code.google.com/p/struts2-jquery/<br>
MG>2)replace all jquery*.js with angular*.js in all of the source code<br>
MG>3)replace your default jquery library calls such as ajax calls for
$.ajax(.......) with $http.get('./struts.action');<br>
MG>the failure you are experiencing is parsing the Javascript on the client
side<br>
MG>remember to build out your struts action call and querystring before calling
$http.get<br>
MG>/struts.action?parm1=arg1,parm2=arg2<br>
MG>If on the other hand if you have struts.multipart.parser=jakarta in
struts.properties or default.properties<br>
MG>then your action is using method=POSR so call $http.post(./struts.action)
instead
MG>build out the parameters to pass in with <hidden> fields e.g. <s:hidden
name="fu" value="bar"/><br>
MG>put parameters in JSON format e.g. "string".toJSON();
MG>place JSON params into second argument to http.post e.g.
[{fu:'bar'},{fu2:'bar2'}]<br>
MG>if onsuccess method returns JSON coming back from server you can parse JSON
with data=JSON.parse(response)<br>
MG>JSON library is available in standard jquery-<version>.js<br>
MG>get yourself a browser like Chrome enable JavaScript console (CTL SHIFT J)
click on Sources pause on Caught Exceptions<br>
MG>you will see which calls are failing<br>
