how to write json/xml output using struts 2 and rest + convention plugin
i've downloaded the demo apps for struts 2 v2.3.5 SNAPSHOT for today.
i am trying to understand and study the rest struts2-rest-showcase
webapp.
in the rest showcase, the OrdersController class has the following method.
public String editNew() {
model = new Order();
return "editNew";
}
the user is taken to orders-editNew.jsp. on this page, the form posts
to: action="%{#request.contextPath}/orders". the action to handle this
form is as follows.
public HttpHeaders create() {
ordersService.save(model);
addActionMessage("New order created successfully");
return new DefaultHttpHeaders("success").setLocationId(model.getId());
}
at this point, the user is taken to orders-index.jsp. however, i do
not want to take the user to this page. i instead want to write a
JSON/XML message back saying something (just like the action message)
to indicate success/failure. how do i do this?
i imagine my client application posting data to: /orders/new
and then receiving some JSON message:
{ "results" : "New order created successfully" }
any help is appreciated.

may be for full rest showcase
you can checkout from our svn in yama.java.net
full crud, bootstrap and spring hibernate. coee of our nurdoo.org
you can take alook our rest security implementation also there
feedback welcome for all

Re: how to write json/xml output using struts 2 and rest + convention plugin
Posted by Jane Wayne <ja...@gmail.com>.
yes, somewhat (not xml, but json). i modified the rest showcase. in
particular, i modified, orders-editNew.jsp. i modified the form the
look like this:
<s:form method="post" action="%{#request.contextPath}/orders.json">
the original line was:
<s:form method="post" action="%{#request.contextPath}/orders">
i believe the place to return XML/JSON is in the method create().
// POST /orders
public HttpHeaders create() {
ordersService.save(model);
addActionMessage("New order created successfully");
return new DefaultHttpHeaders("success")
.setLocationId(model.getId());
}
this method returns a new HttpHeaders object signalling "success", and
in this showcase, "success" gets map back to index() which is GET
/orders (shows all the orders). but these are not response output (as
in request/response).
the struts2-rest-plugin tutorial goes to explain the mapping of GET,
POST, PUT, DELETE to default controller methods
(http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/rest-plugin.html). however, it is
not clear to me, what i can return for the method. in fact, it seems
that a result of type HttpHeaders or String can be returned (the
difference is explained, and very helpful).
when i used the struts2-json-plugin, all i remember doing was adding
@ParentPackage(value="json-default") to the action class + adding
@Action { ... @Result(...,type="json",params={"root","myPojo"}) } to
the method. automagically, myPojo was serialized to JSON.
i'm wondering if it's even possible to do the same with struts2 +
convention + rest ?
before using the struts2-json-plugin, my action would extend
ActionSupport and implement ServletRequestAware and
ServletResponseAware. i would then simply use ServletOutputStream to
write the JSON/XML stuff directly. it's not elegant, but i might
kludge an approach like this one.

Did you try to add .xml suffix to request action ?

1. looks interesting. could you show an example or do you have one
illustrating how to write JSON back?
2. i'm not sure what to do with the online app?

Re: how to write json/xml output using struts 2 and rest + convention plugin
Posted by Frans Thamura <fr...@meruvian.org>.
hi all esp jane
let me summarize all our work here.
1. S2 REST Plugins
we modify the default S2 REST Plugin, so we dont need SMD anymore,
just use @Action and @Resut with type, and you can get full REST ,
PUT, GET, DELETE, POST.
@Action(name = "/list", method = HttpMethod.GET) -> for REST GET
take a look the plugins.
http://java.net/projects/s2restplugins/pages/Home
2. Yama
We use S2 + REST plugin (no. 1 above), and use Spring + Hibernate, call it Yama.
http://yama.java.net/
this is a project template to start create a CRUD using S2 with REST
approach, output can JSON or XML.
see my yama run on Azure. http://yama7.cloudapp.net/yama/
and our yama-showcase also in the SVN, and this is the demo. run on
Stackato (OpenSTack and Cloud Foundry integration ).
http://yama-showcases.atisicloud.net/home
user admin, password admin.
the key in yama, is DefaultPersistance and several "aware" , take a
look inside Spring Context to understand it.
3. Nurdoo
We create nurdoo , as a real case implementation using yama.
all opensourced under Apache license. enjoy. we create a lot of apps
based on yama.

jane
the way our rest model is not using smd which you can get in s2 default
rest plugins
please visit our s2restplugins.java.net
may be this plugins and small wiki can explain more.
the category has extended from default persistanc. you must see the spring
injection that handle this

Re: how to write json/xml output using struts 2 and rest + convention plugin
Posted by Jane Wayne <ja...@gmail.com>.
frans,
i'm looking at http://java.net/projects/nurdoo/sources/nurdoo-web-svn/content/trunk/src/main/java/org/nurdoo/prayers/actions/CategoryAction.java?rev=3.
could you please point me specifically to how you guys output JSON/XML
back to the client?
let me see if i got this right. you guys use s2 + rest + convention to
accomplish the restful features. then, you guys used freemarker to
output content? where's the code/ability to swap between JSON/XML for
output?

Posted by Jane Wayne <ja...@gmail.com>.
not really/entirely what i'm looking for. the struts2-json-plugin
supports json. but what about xml? i need the flexibility to alter
between the two for the client/consumer of the rest services.

Re: how to write json/xml output using struts 2 and rest + convention plugin

I'm not familiar with this application but simply look at the
documentation for the struts2-json-plugin, you can specify a json
result and you can specify include and exclude parameters (so you just
return the part(s) of your Action you want). In this way you could
define a new map, put a key of "results" with a value of "New order
created successfully" and return it quite easily. If the struts2
document is insufficient there are plenty of examples also on
StackOverflow, so take a look there too (Including many annotation
based examples).
