Multiple Submit Buttons problem in Struts2

Trying to work with multiple submit buttons within a single form in struts2 application but not able to work. here is the jsp code i am using

<tr>
<td class="button"><input type="submit" value="Import"
        name="destinationImport" class="button"></td>
    <td class="button"><input type="submit" value="Export"
        name="destinationExport" class="button"></td>
</tr>

here is the java part

private boolean destinationImport;
private boolean destinationExport;
//and the respective setters and getters

but i am sure is that Struts2 type convertor is having problem converting the String value to boolean do any one have idea how to achieve this

Thanks in advance

Solution

  • Methods : getDestinationExport / setDestinationExport should deal with String, since your values: "Export" and "Import" aren't convertible directly to boolean type. If you need convert it by internal rule, place corresponding code inside setDestinationExport. Something like that:

     public void setDestinationExport(String arg){
     destinationExport = "Export".equals(arg);
     destinationImport = "Import".equals(arg);
 }
