I have a multi-record display grid and I want the user to be able to click a button to Edit a record. Since the page also handles Loading the records, and navigation to two other places, I was using the EventDispatchAction.I tried mapping: event_edit{?}=Edit, but the Edit method is never invoked. It appears that the getMethodName in eventActionDispatcher must match a request parameter exactly. I thought from reading somewhere that Struts allowed Wildcards in Parameter entries, but I guess this doesn't apply in this case.
Umm, you are right - wildcards are not supported for action events. I suppose this should be fixed to align event handling with other types of parameters. In the meantime, could you provide more information about your page, maybe you don't really need wildcards.
I cannot use Javascript to perform the function of supplying a hidden id# to a hidden field because the form must work both with or without JS enabled.
If you don't use Javascript, how do you supply id of an item to edit? Do you have one button for the whole grid, or does each row has a button? If you use one button, please explain how do you employ one button without using Javascript, how do you select item to edit. Without Javascript your task can be easily resolved with one button/link per row in grid. Links look nicer in grid rows than buttons ;-) If you use buttons, the simplest way is to define each row as an HTML form. If you use links, you need to build these links so an item id is added as parameter.
