Re: How to get the property value in action

[Nuwan Chandrasoma]

Hi,

You have to write your own ActionMapping implementation like below.

eg:-

public class MyOwnActionMapping extends ActionMapping{
    
    private String myProperty;
    
    /** Creates a new instance of MyOwnActionMapping */
    public MyOwnActionMapping() {
    }

    public String getMyProperty() {
        return myProperty;
    }

    public void setMyProperty(String myProperty) {
        this.myProperty = myProperty;
    }
    
}

and then in your struts config you have to specify that your using your own 
ActionMappping implementation

    <action-mappings type="com.myapp.struts.MyOwnActionMapping">

        <action input="/welcomeStruts.jsp" name="TestForm" path="/myaction" 
scope="request" type="com.myapp.struts.MyAction" validate="false">
            <set-property property="myProperty" value="This is cool"/>
            <forward name="success" path="/index.jsp"/>
            <forward name="failed" path="/welcomeStruts.jsp"/>
        </action>
    </action-mappings>

In you your action class you have to do something like this.

    public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm  form,
            HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws Exception {
        
        MyOwnActionMapping mapping2 = (MyOwnActionMapping)mapping;
        
        System.out.println("My property in action 
is:"+mapping2.getMyProperty()); 
               
        return mapping.findForward(FAILED);
        
    }

Thanks,

Nuwan.

  I like the first approach since I am not using struts 1.3. However it doesn't 
work. 

  What do you mean by "your own ActionMapping implementation"?

    Hi,

    below code is that you have used your own ActionMapping implementation, but 
    if you have used struts 1.3 you can use the method getProperty() in 
    ActionMapping class. for eg:

    mappnig.getProperty("myProperty");

    Thanks,

    Nuwan.
