The struts 2 jQuery plugin has a built in publish/subscribe framework.
If you define your own publish and subscribe event (for example on a grid) the subscribed function will be called every time the event is published. For details please see (Struts 2 jQuery Subscribe is called more than once)
To prevent this, there is a isSubscribed method which can be used.
For a grid as:
<sjg:grid id="gridtable"
onBeforeTopics="before_grid_load" >
The JS will be:
$.subscribe('before_grid_load', function(event, data) {
if ( $('#gridtable').isSubscribed('before_grid_load') ){
return ;
}
//go on with function
}
The problem is that the $('#gridtable').isSubscribed('before_grid_load') returns false every time!
The function isSubscribed is applied on the element $('#gridtable') but subscribed to the $(document). I have tested with the last element and it didn't work to me. But tried with the first element and it worked.
Script:
<head>
<link href="<s:url value="/css/template_styles.css"/>" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
<sj:head />
<title>jQuery Grid</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
console.log("Before subscribe");
$("#gridtable").subscribe("beforeTopic", function(topic, data) {
console.log('Topic: '+data, topic);
if ( $("#gridtable").isSubscribed("beforeTopic") ){
console.log('Subscribed: '+data, topic);
return;
}
//go on with function
console.log('Not subscribed: '+data, topic);
});
console.log("After subscribe");
});
</script>
</head>
For grid:
<sjg:grid id="gridtable"
onBeforeTopics="beforeTopic" >
