Re: Using the Restful2ActionMapper

[mraible <ma...@raibledesigns.com>]

I'm trying to change from using the old-style URLs to Restful2ActionMapper.
Here's what I've added to struts.xml:

    <bean name="struts2"
type="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.ActionMapper"
class="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.CompositeActionMapper"/>
    <constant name="struts.mapper.composite"
value="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.DefaultActionMapper,org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.Restful2ActionMapper"/>

I have a UserAction that does CRUD (below).

And the following action definitions:

        <!-- List of Users -->
        <action name="users" class="userAction" method="list">
            <result name="success">userList.jsp</result>
            <result name="input">userList.jsp</result>
        </action>

        <!-- Edit User -->
        <action name="editUser" class="userAction" method="edit">
            <result name="success">userForm.jsp</result>
            <result name="input">userList.jsp</result>
        </action>

        <!-- Save User -->
        <action name="saveUser" class="userAction">
            <result name="cancel" type="redirect">users.html</result>
            <result name="delete" type="redirect">users.html</result>
            <result name="input">userForm.jsp</result>
            <result name="success"
type="chain">saveUserWithValidation</result>
        </action>

        <action name="saveUserWithValidation" class="userAction"
method="save">
            <result name="input">userForm.jsp</result>
            <result name="success" type="redirect">users.html</result>
        </action>

Is it possible to change to something like the following?

  <action name="user/*" className="userAction">
    {0}
    ...
  </action>

If so, I'm guessing I need to change some method names (i.e. the default
method for /user would be index, so I should change list() to index()) and
some result names (edit goes to "edit", save goes to "save", index goes to
"success")?

Thanks,

Matt

What do you want your URLs to be for the various actions?
If you really just want the view to look restful, you don't need to muck 
with the ActionMapper at all:

/user/bob.html to view bob

<package name="viewUser" namespace="/user" extends="struts-default">
   <action name="*" class="userAction" method="view">
       <param name="username">{1}</param>
       <result name="success">/WEB-INF/pages/viewUser.jsp</result>
       <result name="badID">/404.jsp</result>
   </action>
</package>

Presumably if you set slashesInActions you can do this without a 
separate package.
