I have following situation in code:
Action class:
@NameSpace("/")
public class MyAction extends ActionSupport implements ModelDriven<Car> {
private Car car = new Cart();
@Override
public Car getModel() {
return car;
}
@Action(value = "pageAction", results = {name = SUCCESS, location = "myPage", type="tiles"})
public String showPage() {
return SUCCESS;
}
@Action(value = "formSubmitAction", results = {name = SUCCESS, location = "results.jsp"})
public String formSubmitAction() {
System.out.println(car);
// everything has default values (nulls)
return SUCCESS;
}
}
View for myPage location:
<s:form
namespace="/"
action="pageAction"
method="post" >
<s:push value="model">
<s:textfield name="color" />
<s:textfield name="manufacturer" />
<sj:submit
href="formSubmitAction"
targets="output" />
</s:push>
</s:form>
<div id="output"></div>
results.jsp:
renders empty content into div#output
<s:property value="%{model}" />
<s:property value="%{model.color}" />
<s:property value="%{model.manufacturer}" />
I wonder why is that happening? Model data is not updated after submit.
I'm using struts2-jquery submit tag.
When I'm using simple form submit without Ajax the model is being updated, but I want to load data asynchronously with Ajax.
How can I achieve that?
The solution is to add ID to form
and to sj:submit
tag. But I don't know why submit tag inside form wasn't working properly. The correct code is below:
<s:form
id="formId"
namespace="/"
action="pageAction"
method="post" >
<s:push value="model">
<s:textfield name="color" />
<s:textfield name="manufacturer" />
<sj:submit
formIds="formId"
href="formSubmitAction"
targets="output" />
</s:push>
</s:form>
EDIT
As it turns out you only have to add ID to form
, and everything works :)
