YUI Plugin - parameters in Action are not set

[Jan Rosendahl <ja...@gmx.de>]

Hi,

I try to use the yui:autocompleter (struts2yuiplugin-0.1-ALPHA-7.jar + 
jsonplugin-0.33.jar )
Problem: The parameters in my Action class are not set ( by the params 
interceptor ).
Maybe I have to put the params to the action-URL myself ?

short extract of my JSP is this:
..
<%@ taglib prefix="yui" uri="/struts-yui-tags" %>
<yui:head autocompleter="true" />
..
<s:form
        id="productChoiceForm"
        action="ProductList"        
        >                
        <div class="yui-skin-sam" >            
            <s:hidden id="categoryNo"  name="categoryNo" />
            <s:url id="productListUrl" namespace="/ajax" 
action="ProductList" includeParams='none' />                                
            <yui:autocompleter id="product" name="product" 
href="%{#productListUrl}" containerCssStyle="width:100px" />            
        </div>   
        <s:submit type="input" cssClass="mySubmitButton"/>
</s:form> 
...

( I changed the 'includeParams' parameter without any effect )

struts.xml has this action:

<package name="ajax" namespace="/ajax" extends="json-default">   
        <action name="ProductList" class="my.classpath.ajax.ProductList">
            <result type="json">
                <param name="root">options</param>
            </result>
        </action>               
    </package>

and the action has parameters+getter/setter for 
product,productKey,categoryNo
but none of these parameters is initialized before the 'execute' method 
is called (
with the 'getOptions' method it's the same thing ).

Any suggestion ( or may be a working example ) is appreciated ...

Re: YUI Plugin - parameters in Action are not set

[Jan Rosendahl <ja...@gmx.de>]

I've found some issues. Writing about this will solve the whole thing  :-)

1)
the argument sent to the action is named 'query' (hard coded) while I
assumed it would be taken from the 'name' 
( -> product in my case.  (<yui:autocompleter ..name="product"..) )

That would be nice to be mentioned in the documentation
( at http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/S2PLUGINS/YUI+Plugin )

So now I added set/getQuery to my action which took
me one step further.

But still the parameters are not set automatically. so I
2)
put the params into the autocompleter's href

But here is one problem : the URL is not built correctly

<s:url id="productListUrl"
    namespace="/ajax"
    action="ProductList"
    includeParams='none'>
        <s:param name="categoryNo" value="%{categoryNo}" />
        <%--ProductList?category=9?query=1 (? instead of : between 
category and query) --%>
</s:url>

Category is e.g. '9' and I get the URL:  
'.../ProductList?category=9?query=1'
So I get 'category== '9?query=1' and query is not set anymore. So when the
URL is built it's assumed that there are no other parameters.

As for now in the getter for my category I will parse and split it myself
because I have to go on with my project - and wait for this to be fixed
or for someone who explains what's wrong here ..

comments are still welcome...
