Get single value from a row with displaytag and struts 2

[Álex Basoa <ax...@gmail.com>]

i have a table wich works perfect made with struts 2 and displaytag

        <display:table name="session.listaNotificaciones" excludedParams="*"
                   requestURI="navegarNuevoEnvio.action" class="tablacoin"
                   summary="Listado de Notificaciones" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0"
                   uid="listaContatosTable">


        <display:column title="Estado" sortProperty="estado_Nue"
                                sortable="false"
headerClass="sortable" defaultorder="descending"
                                style="width:12% ;color:red">

                    <s:property

value="%{@registradores.utiles.enumerados.EstadoTramite@convertirTexto(#attr.listaContatosTable.estado_Nue)}"
/>

                </display:column>


        <display:column title="Archivo"  headerClass="sortable"
sortable="false" defaultorder="descending"
                        style="width:12% ;color:black">
            <s:hidden key="estado"
value="%{#attr.listaContatosTable.estado_Nue}" />
            <s:submit id="botonNotificacion" value="Notificación"
                      cssClass="boton"
onclick="enviarA('descargarDocumentoNotificacionAcuse.action')"/>
        </display:column>

The problem is that i have declared in the action

    private String estado;

And i get all values from estado_Nue, but i only need the value wich i have
"clicked"

Thx for all your help

RE: Get single value from a row with displaytag and struts 2

["CRANFORD, CHRIS" <Ch...@setech.com>]

Looking back there was one slight typo in my example:

<display:table name="notifications" uid="tableListUid">
  <display:column>
    <s:form action="acknowledgeDocumentNotification">
      <s:hidden name="documentId" value="%{#attr.tableListUid.documentId}"/>
      <s:submit key="button.submit"/>
    </s:form>
  </display:column>
</display:table>

The above addresses the typo where documentId is a property on the bean that represents a row within the notifications list.

why not access

?

RE: Get single value from a row with displaytag and struts 2

["CRANFORD, CHRIS" <Ch...@setech.com>]

It sounds to me like you're submitting the row object rather than the ID of the object for which you want to operation upon.

The following example should work:

<display:table name="notifications" uid="tableListUid">
  <display:column>
    <s:form action="acknowledgeDocumentNotification">
      <s:hidden name="documentId" value="%{#tableListUid.documentId}"/>
      <s:submit key="button.submit"/>
    </s:form>
  </display:column>
</display:table>

The above code gets the document id from the uid specified and uses it as a hidden value in the form submission. There are other neat way to avoid having a form per row, but this is simple enough.

Your acknowledgeDocumentNotification action should then only receive the documentId parameter with the row's document id as the only input value.

Thanks,
Chris

hi,

not sure if i understand what the problem is. You get all items of a list posted when you submit your form? How does the html look like? What form elements are generated by display?
