Kindly remove it.

here is the struts-config.xml code
<struts-config>
<form-beans>
<form-bean name="ref name of form bean demoform" type="demopack.DemoForm"/>
<form-beans>
<action-mappings>
<action path="/demo" name="demoform" type="demopack.DemoAction">
<forward name="success" path="/result.jsp"/>
</action-mappings>
</struts-config>

In the third psrs for this page:-
<code>The ActionServlet (commad) passes the parameterized class to Action Form using the execute() method.<code>

it passes to 'Action' class by calling its 'execute()' method not 'ActionForm'class

I have a doubt "is action class thread safe" and y we get errors like cant retrive action mapping for particular action

Posted by Srikar G on Wednesday, 08.8.07 @ 11:34am | #22917

Hi,
I really like too much your tutorial, is really complete.

And I will appreciate you could help me with a doubt.

How do you set a request scope attribute in the action class that the forwarded jsp receives without any problem.

I'm doing this:
return ActionForward("/success.jsp", true);
and I doesn't work, the only way is when I set to false the redirect flag, but in this case, user gets the strut at the end, not the page and I need to be the simple page.

Thank you very much

Posted by Frank on Friday, 07.20.07 @ 10:23am | #21608

hi,
wts the behavior of execute(). To where the control goes if we call super.execute() in our action class.

hello sir
iam a beginner in struts . what i want to know is there a seperate action class for every html form in the application?
because there is only one central action class in a strurts application , how does the control from different html forms go to the same action class, and how does the action class know from which html form the request parameters were generated and how to process the data.

Another cool thing about Action classes is that you can create a "super" action do to processing for every request. Or better yet, extend Struts RequestProcessor.

This site is very useful for beginers.

My problem is, I am not able to validate the password(having Special characters) entered by user.
I am using Struts and form is created in tag.
I tried to put CDATA around submit button as well putting filter in Action file to convert the Special characters like "&" in "&".
But it did not help me, plz suggest something on it.

This is very useful. However I'm having a slight problem in my testing, hope someone is interested enough to solve or pass on the enlightment.

I have written a test code. Wrote the java class, correct paths, correct action-mapping, and it works fine on my localhost! However, when I deploy it to my online web-server, it says page not found when calling countries.do. ?

Have I missed something? I have Tomcat 5.5.17 on localhost and 5.5.20 on Online server. Any input from anyone would be MUCH APPRECIATED. I have been stuck on this problem for a week. Thank.

how to check the page from the navigation to view the list.It is throwing an error that bean is not found to show the lists .am using logic:iterator to show the list page.

Hi Nikhil,Gpatton,
Thank you very much for replying.
I m using tomcat5.9 andI could't find any servlet.jar in my /tomcat/common/lib directory.so for compiling the java files,i downloaded j2ee sdk/1.4 and declared the j2ee sdk/lib/j2ee.jar & /web-inf/lib/struts.jar in classpath.
and now the path to JAVA_HOME variable is the jdk directory inside j2ee sdk.
The application is running now.

Shilpa.

i have 4 to 5 search fileds in my jsp when i click on submit it should generate the report its fine...
when no searh is found it should go back to jsp and display no search found can u give me code wat to write in action class and jsp.....

Posted by roja on Friday, 01.5.07 @ 23:14pm | #2731

Hi Shilpa,
I had the same problem e.g.
package javax.servlet.http does not exist etc.

You need to add servlet.jar and the struts.jar to your classpath . The names of the jars vary but you'll find the servlet jar in tomcat /common/lib
and I found struts in /WEB-INF/lib/struts-core-1.3.5.jar

Hope this helps,
Geraldine

Posted by gpatton on Friday, 01.5.07 @ 22:58pm | #2729

Hi shilpa,

It is not possible to compile java programs that uses servlet classes with out seting the class path of server that you are using for servlet.

if you are using tomcat server,you can set classpath as shown
set classpath=.;C:\Program Files\tomcat\common\lib\servlet.jar

Thanks ,
Nikhil

Posted by Nikhil V G on Friday, 01.5.07 @ 12:20pm | #2673

hai shilpa ,

You should set the classpath of java servlet.jar .Otherwise u cant use servlet classess in ur program.If you are using tomcat server
set the classpath as shown below

set classpath=.;C:\Program Files\tomcat\common\lib\servlet.jar

From this page Action Class is specified to be a part of Model, but in real sense the Action Class is a part of Controller because it controls the flow of the action from the controller to the execution of the logic. The connections to the database is done by the business objects class throught a helper class taking care of the DML.

Conflict..

From the introduction...
Controller: Controller is intermediary between Model and View. Controller is responsible for receiving the request from client. Once request is received from client it executes the appropriate business logic from the Model and then produce the output to the user using the View component. ActionServlet, Action, ActionForm and struts-config.xml are the part of Controller.

From this page..
What is Action Class?
The Action Class is part of the Model and is a wrapper around the business logic.
