Convention Plugin and Action Chaining
Hi all,
This question concerns the Convention Plugin, specifically in regards to
Action Chaining.
I am using Struts 2.1.6
I have the following package structure.
com.company.web.actions.administrators.GetAction
(/administrators/get)
com.company.web.actions.administrators.SaveAction
(/administrators/save)
After SaveAction.execute(), I wanted to use action chaining and forward
to GetAction.execute().
I was able to get this to work via annotations in my SaveAction class. The
execute() method returns ActionSupport.SUCCESS.
@Results({
@Result(name=ActionSupport.*SUCCESS*, type="chain", location="get")
})
However, it seems through the examples, that annotations may not be required
for simple action chaining.
Can we return an action name, effectively chainining the actions together?
I had attempted returning "get" in my SaveAction.execute(), thinking that it
would action chain GetAction.
The result was forwarded to my /WEB-INF/content/administrators/get.jsp, but
never actually ran GetAction.execute() .
Any idea as to what my SaveAction.execute() method should return to
accomplish simple action chaining without the annotation above?
Thank you in advance.

If the result is "get" and the source action is target is "save", then
the "target" action has to be "save-get" (yours is "get").

Thanks Musachy for your prompt response.
Makes total sense.
However, I now tried the following based on your reply....
GetAction.execute() returns ActionSupport.SUCCESS.
forwards to....
get-success.jsp (renamed get.jsp, so that it would not be found in the
instance below)
SaveAction.execute() returns "get" (in hopes of chaining GetAction)
However, after SaveAction.execute(), I get an exception stating that the
result "get" is not found.
"No result defined for action com.company.web.actions.SaveAction and result
get"
Note that, both of these guys are in the same package, and therefore in the
same namespace.
Through the config-browser, I did verify that "get" is not one of the listed
result types not found.

Re: Convention Plugin and Action Chaining

The problem in your case, is that Convention tries to find
"get-get.jsp" and then tries "get.jsp", which it will find, so it will
never chain to the action, but rather dispatch to the jsp. Chaining
only works when no result is found.

Yes, you can chain actions if they are in the same package:
