Pass selected value from a select tag to an action using Struts2 and Dojo - ajax

I'm trying to pass the selected value of a select tag to an action through ajax when the onchange event is triggered but, for some reason, the action receives the parameter as null.
Here is the code of the jsp:
<%#taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<%#taglib prefix="sx" uri="/struts-dojo-tags" %>
<div id="navegacion_proyectos">
<s:select name="id_proyecto_actual" id="proyecto_actual_select" list="proyectos" listValue="titulo_proyecto" listKey="id_proyecto"/>
<s:url id="cambiar_proyecto_actual_url" value="/cambiar_proyecto_actual.action" />
<sx:bind sources="proyecto_actual_select" events="onchange" href="%{cambiar_proyecto_actual_url}" />
</div>
And here is the code of the action:
public class BLProyecto extends ActionSupport {
private String id_proyecto_actual;
public String cambiarProyectoActual() {
Map sesion = ActionContext.getContext().getSession();
sesion.put("proyecto_actual", id_proyecto_actual);
return SUCCESS;
}
public String getId_proyecto_actual() {
return id_proyecto_actual;
}
public void setId_proyecto_actual(String id_proyecto_actual) {
this.id_proyecto_actual = id_proyecto_actual;
}
}
I'm debbuging the code and the id_proyecto_actual parameter is shown as null. What do you think is the problem?

Thank you all, i found the answer. Instead of following an url when the event is triggered, i just submit a form. Like this:
<%#taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<%#taglib prefix="sx" uri="/struts-dojo-tags" %>
<div id="navegacion_proyectos">
<s:form id="cambiar_proyecto_actual_form" action="cambiar_proyecto_actual">
<s:select name="id_proyecto_actual" id="proyecto_actual_select" list="proyectos" listValue="titulo_proyecto" listKey="id_proyecto"/>
</s:form>
<sx:bind sources="proyecto_actual_select" formId="cambiar_proyecto_actual_form" targets="pantalla_principal" events="onchange" />
</div>

Spring MVC + DisplayTag + Checkbox

I have to integrate in a SpringMVC form a set of fields and a List handled by a Display:table .
In the display table I have to view a column of checkboxes where the information about if this is checked or not is passed by the controller. I have to manipulate this checkboxes and pass them to another controller to store that data inside a DB.
I'm simulating this situation creating a SpringMVC controller that set me inside the Model some data :
package it.test.displaytag.controller;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import it.test.displaytag.model.Bean;
import it.test.displaytag.model.Interno;
#org.springframework.stereotype.Controller
public class Controller {
#RequestMapping(value = "index.htm")
public String home(Model model) {
Bean bean = new Bean();
bean.setCognome("Cognome");
bean.setNome("Nome");
ArrayList<Interno> list = new ArrayList<Interno>();
for(int i=0;i<50;i++) {
Interno asd = new Interno();
asd.setIdCheck(i);
if (i%2==0) {
asd.setIsEnabled(Boolean.TRUE);
}
list.add(asd);
}
bean.setInterno(list);
model.addAttribute("displayTagForm", bean);
return "index";
}
}
The JSP is :
<%# taglib prefix="display" uri="http://displaytag.sf.net" %>
<%# taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%# taglib prefix="spring" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags"%>
<%# taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form"%>
<%
org.displaytag.decorator.CheckboxTableDecorator decorator = new org.displaytag.decorator.CheckboxTableDecorator();
decorator.setId("idCheck");
decorator.setFieldName("_chk");
pageContext.setAttribute("checkboxDecorator", decorator);
%>
<html>
<body>
<form:form name="displayTagForm" action="/salva" modelAttribute="displayTagForm" method="POST">
Form di test per testare la paginazione nelle Displaytag.
<br><br>
Nome : <form:input path="nome" />
<br><form:input path = "cognome" />
<br><br>
Tabella
<br><center>
<display:table name="displayTagForm.interno" uid="bean" decorator = "checkboxDecorator"
pagesize="10" >
<display:column property="idCheck" />
<display:column property = "checkbox" />
</display:table>
</center>
</form:form>
</body>
</html>
The JSP is correctly showing the informations inside the fields "nome" and "cognome" but is not showing if the checkbox is selected or not ( passed with a flag isEnabled in the bean ) . I've not understood how to do this trick.
After that, i Have to handle the pagination and the sort of the display:table, because I think that if I write something in that 2 textboxes nome and cognome and I click one of the link to go to another page, I lose the informations that i've written in the textboxes and I lose the information about the value of the checkbox clicked or not.
How can I handle this situation ?

Simple search in Spring MVC

I'm new to Spring MVC, and I'm trying to do a simple search.
Here's my Controller and View. How do I make the search to actually work?
The findTeamByName is already implemented from a interface and the Teams are already populated in memory.
Thank you in advance guys!
#Controller
public class SearchController {
#Autowired
SuperPlayerService sp;
#RequestMapping(value="/search")
public ModelAndView Search(#RequestParam(value = "searchTerm", required = false)
String pSearchTerm, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView("search");
mav.addObject("searchTerm", pSearchTerm);
mav.addObject("searchResult", sp.findTeamByName(pSearchTerm));
return mav;
}
}
JSP:
<%# page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%# taglib prefix="t" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" %>
<%# taglib uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" prefix="form" %>
<t:MasterTag>
<jsp:attribute name="pageTitle"><c:out value="Search"/></jsp:attribute>
<jsp:attribute name="currentMenuName"><c:out value="Search"/></jsp:attribute>
<jsp:body>
<div class="row">
<div class="small-3 columns">
<input type="text" id="txt" name="searchString">
</div>
<div class="small-5 columns end">
<button id="button-id" type="submit">Search Teams</button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div>
${searchTerm}
</div>
</div>
you can return your values i.e in a ModelAndView
#RequestMapping(value="/search/{searchTerm}")
public ModelAndView Search(#PathVariable("searchTerm") String pSearchTerm) {
ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView("search");
mav.addObject("searchTerm", pSearchTerm);
mav.addObject("searchResult", sp.findTeamByName(pSearchTerm));
return mav;
}
This field can be accessed in your search.jsp by ${searchTerm}
EDIT:
if you want so search like: search?searchTerm=java then you can do it with:
#RequestMapping(value="/search")
public ModelAndView Search(#RequestParam(value = "searchTerm", required = false) String pSearchTerm, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView("search");
mav.addObject("searchTerm", pSearchTerm);
mav.addObject("searchResult", sp.findTeamByName(pSearchTerm));
return mav;
}
Spring MVC Controller method can accept a wide range of arguments and one of them is org.springframework.ui.Model.
You can add values to the Model which will become available in your JSP at requestScope.
In your case, your Java code would look like this
#RequestMapping(value = "/search")
public String Search(#RequestParam("searchString") String searchString, Model model) {
if(searchString != null){
Object searchResult = sp.findTeamByName(searchString);
model.addAttribute("searchResult", searchResult);
}
return "search";
}
In your JSP, you could then access the result as usual object in requestScope like ${searchResult}
Your JSP needs to look like:
<%# page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%# taglib prefix="t" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" %>
<t:MasterTag>
<jsp:attribute name="pageTitle"><c:out value="Search"/></jsp:attribute>
<jsp:attribute name="currentMenuName"><c:out value="Search"/></jsp:attribute>
<jsp:body>
<div></div>
<div class="row">
<form method="get" action="/search">
<div class="small-3 columns">
<input type="text" id ="txt" name="searchString" >
</div>
<div class="small-5 columns end">
<button id="button-id" type="submit">Search Teams</button>
</div>
<div>
${player.superTeam}
</div>
</form>
</div>
And your controller would be:
#Controller
public class SearchController {
#Autowired
SuperPlayerService sp;
#RequestMapping(value = "/search")
public String Search(#RequestParam("searchString") String searchString) {
if(searchString != null){
sp.findTeamByName(searchString);
}
return "search";
}
}

Property not found on java.lang.String, For Object array list in custom Tag

I am trying to build a menu at runtime depending on the server call in JSP.
The model that represents the menu is given below:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class MenuItem {
public String menuText;
public List<MenuItem> subMenuItems=new ArrayList<MenuItem>();
public MenuItem(String menuText) {
super();
this.menuText = menuText;
this.subMenuItems = new ArrayList<MenuItem>();
}
public MenuItem(){
}
public MenuItem(String menuText, List<MenuItem> subMenuItems) {
super();
this.menuText = menuText;
this.subMenuItems = subMenuItems;
}
// #Override
// public String toString() {
// // TODO Auto-generated method stub
// StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
// for (MenuItem menuItem : getSubMenuItems()) {
// buffer.append(menuItem.toString());
// }
// return (" Menu --->" + getMenuText() + buffer.toString());
//
// }
public String getMenuText() {
return menuText;
}
public void setMenuText(String menuText) {
this.menuText = menuText;
}
public List<MenuItem> getSubMenuItems() {
return subMenuItems;
}
public void setSubMenuItems(List<MenuItem> subMenuItems) {
this.subMenuItems = subMenuItems;
}
}
For the above model we pass the sample menu from the controller:
List<MenuItem> menuMainList = new ArrayList<MenuItem>();
List<MenuItem> submenus = new ArrayList<MenuItem>();
MenuItem item1= new MenuItem();
item1.setMenuText("****");
submenus.add(item1);
MenuItem item2 = new MenuItem();
item2.setMenuText("SampleMenu");
item2.setSubMenuItems(submenus);
menuMainList.add(item2);
System.out.println(menuMainList);
model.addAttribute("menuItem", menuMainList);
On the JSP Page we try to do the following:
<c:forEach items="${menuItem}" begin="0" var="menuListItem">
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${empty menuListItem.subMenuItems}">
<div>
<c:out value="${menuListItem.menuText}" />
</div>
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<div>
<span><c:out value="${menuListItem.menuText}" /></span>
<div style="width: 150px;">
<cobTags:menuDivItem menuList="${menuListItem.subMenuItems}"></cobTags:menuDivItem>
</div>
</div>
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
</c:forEach>
And the custom tag being:
<%# tag language="java" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%# attribute name="menuList" required="true"%>
<%# taglib tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" prefix="cobTags"%>
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
<c:forEach items="${menuList}" begin="0" var="menuListItem">
<div>
<cobTags:drawMenuItem menuItem="${menuListItem}"></cobTags:drawMenuItem>
<c:out value="${menuListItem}" />
</div>
</c:forEach>
And
<%# tag language="java" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%# attribute name="menuItem" type="com.sample.bean.MenuItem"
required="true"%>
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
<div style="color: red;">
<c:out value="${menuItem.menuText}" />
</div>
When I execute the following code, I am getting the error:
Cannot convert [com.sample.bean.MenuItem#547ca73] of type class
java.lang.String to class com.sample.bean.MenuItem
I am not getting why the model's toString method is getting called when I pass the object to the custom tag.?
Any pointers?
Declaring the type of the argument should fix the problem:
<%# attribute name="menuList" required="true" type="java.util.Collection" %>

Spring MVC: Url path appending when posting the form

i am new to spring mvc. i created a simple login application. but in my case the first time the for posting url and calling controller method correctly. in second time it's appending path with one more time of controller. first time post:
//localhost:8090/springmvc/account/login secong time in same page: //localhost:8090/springmvc/account/account/login. how do i fix this redirecting problem?
this my controller page:
#Controller
#RequestMapping("account")
public class AccountController {
AccountService service = new AccountService();
#RequestMapping(value = "account/default", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView RegisterUser() {
return new ModelAndView("/Account/Index","command",new User());
}
#RequestMapping(value = "/registeruser", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView RegisterUser(User user) {
user.setMessage(service.Register(user));
return new ModelAndView("/Account/Index", "command", user);
}
#RequestMapping(value = "/register", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView RegisterUer(User user) {
user.setMessage(service.Register(user));
return new ModelAndView("/Account/create", "command", user);
}
#RequestMapping(value = "/login", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView LoginUser(User user, ModelMap model) {
String msg = service.isAuthendicated(user) ? "Logged in" : "Failed";
user.setMessage(msg);
return new ModelAndView("/Account/Index", "command", user);
}
}
this my jsp page:
<%#taglib uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags" prefix="spring"%>
<%#taglib uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" prefix="form"%>
<%#taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
<%#taglib prefix="t" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags"%>
<t:genericpage>
<jsp:body>
<h2>Login</h2>
<div>
${command.message} </div>
Register
<form:form action="account/login" method="post">

<form:input path="username" />
</div>
<div>
<form:input path="password" />
</div>
<input type="submit" value="Login">
</form:form>
</jsp:body>
</t:genericpage>
i used the tag library for common page:
<%#tag description="Master Page" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

Depending on which version of Spring you're using, here are some options:
Spring 3.1 and lower OR Spring 3.2.3 and higher
You should have your urls/actions root-relative specific to your context path.
<form:form action="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/account/login" method="post">
Note: Spring 3.2.3 introduced servletRelativeAction but I've never used it.
Spring 3.2
Don't do anything, context path is prepended - this was actually a breaking change and eventually rolled back.
<form:form action="/account/login" method="post">
//will produce action="/springmvc/account/login"
Start your form action with a /.
<form:form action="/account/login" method="post">
By not doing it, you're telling the browser to append the action to the already existing URL on the address bar.
And where you have such links directly in HTML (by not using Spring's form:form), try to use c:url to properly construct the URL including the context path etc. This takes a lot of pain away from building proper relative URLs.
Register
Use ../ to get URL of your current context root:
<form:form action="../account/login" method="post">
from here
I tried with the spring tag bysetting only the relative path, it appends automatically the context path like:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<%# taglib prefix="spring" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags"%>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<!-- ... -->
<spring:url value="/account/login" var="loginUrl" />
<form:form action="${loginUrl}" method="post">
The context path is set in application.properties as bellow:
server.servlet.contextPath=/MyApp
In the jsp page, it produces:
<a class="nav-link" href="/MyApp/account/login"> <i class="fas fa-play"></i> <span>Click here</span></a>

jQuery client side validation not working with MVC 3 MvcContrib.FluentHtml

Using MVC 3 RTM and MvcContrib/FluentHtml version 3.0.51.0, I can't get the jQuery client side validation to work. Server side validation works fine, and returns showing the correct validation summary, etc. But the form post always tries to hit the server-side post controller action when it should have stopped on the client side to display the validation error.
Any ideas of what I'm missing? Could the latest version of MvcContrib/FluentHtml be incompatible with jQuery client validation?
Here's my code:
Web.config has:
<add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true"/>
<add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true"/>
Site.Master page has:
<script src="<%= Url.Content("~/Assets/JavaScript/jquery-1.4.4.min.js")%>" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="<%= Url.Content("~/Assets/JavaScript/jquery-ui-1.8.7.min.js")%>" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="<%= Url.Content("~/Assets/JavaScript/jquery.validate.min.js")%>" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="<%= Url.Content("~/Assets/JavaScript/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js")%>" type="text/javascript"></script>
View page inherits from MvcContrib's ModelViewPage:
Here's the view page:
<%# Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master"
Inherits="ModelViewPage<MaintainReferralAgencyDetailVM>" %>
<%# Import Namespace="OASIS3G.Controllers" %>
<%# Import Namespace="OASIS3G.ViewModels" %>
<%# Import Namespace="JCDCHelper.Extension"%>
<%# Import Namespace="MvcContrib.FluentHtml" %>
<%# Import Namespace="System.Web.Mvc" %>
<%# Import Namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<% using (Html.BeginForm()) %>
<% { %>
<h1>Referral Agency Detail</h1>
<%= Html.ValidationSummary(false) %>
<table class="NoBorder">
<tr>
<td class="NoBorder SubmitFormLeftColumn"><span class="required">* </span>Zip Code:</td>
<td class="NoBorder"><%= this.TextBox(x => x.ReferralAgency.ContactInformation.Zipcode) %> Example: 99999 or 999990000
<%= Html.ValidationMessageFor(x=>x.ReferralAgency.ContactInformation.Zipcode) %>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
<% } %>
</asp:Content>
Here's the controller post action:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult MaintainReferralAgencyDetail(MaintainReferralAgencyDetailVM userInputs)
{
// I shouldn't reach this when I submit the form with a blank Zipcode, but I do:
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
Here's the entity object with the Required field:
[Serializable]
public class ContactInformationEO
{
public virtual Int64 AddressId { get; set; }
[Required]
public virtual string Zipcode { get; set; }
I figured it out, it's definitely MvcContrib messing it up. I originally thought MvcContrib wasn't a factor because when I had changed from MvcContrib's ModelViewPage to Mvc.ViewPage, I switched the "this.TextBox" to "Html.TextBox", it still didn't work. However, I just discovered that I need to switch the control to "Html.EditorFor" instead of "Html.TextBox".
I've googled for a few minutes and it doesnt look like MvcContrib version 3.0.51.0 supports jquery client-side validation with any equivalent of EditorFor, so I'll have to just rip it out and use the native MVC controls.
You can see an article with a complete solution of my approach here: automatically-validate-and-format-data-with-asp-net-mvc-and-jquery
Just ran headlong into this problem, looks like Scott Kirkland has a solution.
