[S2] Checkboxes
I am having a difficult time getting checkboxes to work in the following
scenario and am not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help or guidance
would be greatly appreciated.
I have table which displays several rows. In the first column of each
row, I have a check box to select that row. I am keeping track of user
selections so when they return to the page, the checkboxes are
prepopulated with their previous selections.
My Action contains the following:
public Long[] getSelectedContracts()
{
return setSelectedContracts.toArray(new Long[0]);
} // end getSelectedContracts
/**
* This setter takes the provided String[] of selected contract
ids.
*/
public void setSelectedContracts(Long[] palngSelectedContracts)
{
setSelectedContracts.addAll(Arrays.asList(palngSelectedContracts));
} // end setSelectedContracts
My JSP contains the following:
<s:checkbox name="selectedContracts"
fieldValue="${contract.npcContractId}"/>

RE: Action call not calling action method

Sorry for the late response. I had to work on something else. I am
still having an issue with this.
I did not change any attributes in my struts-default.xml. Here is a
part of my struts.xml file:
<struts>
<package name="default" extends="struts-default">
<default-interceptor-ref name="paramsPrepareParamsStack"/>
<!-- Menu -->
<action name="Menu" class="action.MenuAction" method="list">
<result name="success">/jsp/include/menu.jsp</result>
<interceptor-ref name="paramsPrepareParamsStack"/>
</action>
...

Subject: Action call not calling action method
Hello everyone, I am having a really strange issue. In my application I
have a menu bar and a main content area. The menu bar and main content
area are populated separately using an Ajax call to their respective
action methods. They are automatically called/populated when I log into
my application. So when I log in, the main content area and menu bar
are successfully displayed.
When I first log into my application, everything gets loaded properly
and the appropriate action methods are called. However when I try to
call my menu action again, it does not call my action method. For
example, if my action call looks like this:
getUrl("MenuAction!list.action")
and my Menu Action class looks like this:
public class MenuAction extends ActionSupport implements Preparable {
public void prepare() throws Exception {
log.debug("in prepare");
}
public String doList() {
log.debug("doList");
return SUCCESS;
}
}
It enters my 'prepare()' method but does not enter my doList() method.
But on the first initial call, it does enter doList(). It seems like I
can only 'get into' the doList() method once. I even entered the action
call manually in my browser address bar but it still only enters my
prepare() method.
Here is the really strange part... on my development machine, everything
works perfectly. All the methods get called successfully. The above
only happens when I access it from a different computer. Any ideas? I've
been trying to figure this out for days.

RE: [S2] Checkboxes
Posted by "Hoying, Ken" <Ke...@PremierInc.com>.
Thanks, Dave!
This got me moving in the right direction. For future reference, I
ended using the checkboxlist tag inside of my loop and set the list
attribute to a single value so I would only get the one option. This
seems to have solved my issue.
Thanks,
Ken

I would consider using a modified version of the checkboxlist tag if
it's just a matter of the rendered HTML you're having an issue with.

A single checkbox, AFAIK, only expects to check a
single value, not an array or collection.
I would consider using a modified version of the
checkboxlist tag if it's just a matter of the rendered
HTML you're having an issue with.

Thank you for the response.
I had looked at the example, but it really appears to only push the
checkbox results to the action. I am not sure that it would repopulate
the checkbox with the values.
I do not believe that checkbox list is going to work for me as it does
not give me control on where to put the checkboxes. I need one in each
row.
It appears that my understanding of how the checkbox works is not
correct.
I am expecting that the checkbox control will call the
getSelectedContracts() method and see if any of these values in the
array it returns matches the value specified in the fieldValue attribute
specified in the checkbox tag. If there is a match then check the box,
if not don't check it. However, all of my checkboxes are always being
selected no matter what.
I am also expecting that when submitting the form,
setSelectedContracts() will be called with an array of the values that
were selected. This does appear to be working with one caveat. If
nothing is selected then I get the error: Invalid field value for field
"selectedContracts".
This obviously does not work the way I thought and I was hoping someone
could maybe explain how it does work as I am really struggling on
gaining an understanding of this tag and its usage.
Thanks in advance,
Ken

Hi Ken-
struts.xml has this definition of EmployeeAction where results populate
editEmployee.jsp
<action name="delete"
class="org.apache.struts2.showcase.action.EmployeeAction"
method="delete">
<result name="error">/empmanager/editEmployee.jsp</result>
<result
type="redirect">edit-${currentEmployee.empId}.action</result>
</action>
looking at the results jsp
/empmanager/editEmployee.jsp has a checkbox defined as <s:checkbox
fieldValue="true" label="Married"
name="currentEmployee.married"/>
The EmployeeAction is defined as
package org.apache.struts2.showcase.action;
public class EmployeeAction extends AbstractCRUDAction implements
Preparable { private Employee currentEmployee;
whereas Employee is defined as
package org.apache.struts2.showcase.model;
public class Employee implements IdEntity {
private boolean married; //checkbox
so the individual checkbox works fine for setting booleans
http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11/docs/checkbox.html
For handling a list of checkboxes you may want to implement with
checkboxlist?

Subject: [S2] Checkboxes
I am having a difficult time getting checkboxes to work in the following
scenario and am not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help or guidance
would be greatly appreciated.
I have table which displays several rows. In the first column of each
row, I have a check box to select that row. I am keeping track of user
selections so when they return to the page, the checkboxes are
prepopulated with their previous selections.
My Action contains the following:
public Long[] getSelectedContracts()
{
return setSelectedContracts.toArray(new Long[0]); } // end
getSelectedContracts
/**
* This setter takes the provided String[] of selected contract ids.
*/
public void setSelectedContracts(Long[] palngSelectedContracts)
{
setSelectedContracts.addAll(Arrays.asList(palngSelectedContracts));
} // end setSelectedContracts
My JSP contains the following:
<s:checkbox name="selectedContracts"
fieldValue="${contract.npcContractId}"/>
