[SOLVED] How to get data from JSP to Action class by id instead of property in Struts 2?

How to get data from JSP to Action class by id instead of property in Struts 2?

I am doing on Java Struts 2 framework.

Normally, I can get data from my JSP through the get set method in Form.java (action class). Below is my example :

In main.jsp file:

<html:text property="campaignName" size="50" maxlength="50" />

Thus, I can get this textbox name by getter and setter methods in the action class, the below is code from

mainForm.java :

private String campaignName = null;

public String getCampaignName() {
    return campaignName;
}

public void setCampaignName(String campaignName) {
    this.campaignName = campaignName;
}

However, because of I want to use jQuery to do something, I no longer use <html:text> as text box, but I use <input type="text" id="datepicker" />.

Because of without property attribute inside this text box, I cant get the value from this text box. I have tried to add property="something" inside the text box also, but get set method in mainForm.java is return null.

I would like to ask, how can I get the value by this text box?

Solution

<s:textfield name="campaignName" size="50" maxlength="50" />

<input type="text" name="campaignName" size="50" maxlength="50" />

The name need to be matched with the field name
