Struts service facade
Im new in Struts, in fact im pretty new in Java, but i have programmed for
Coldfusion, C#/VB and Flex. Im trying to connect to a J2EE server with
Struts on it using Flex. Flex is able to call a java component on the server
and execute a method and then serialize the result and deserialize it in an
Actionscript(scripting language of flex) object. In my imaginary app Flex
will provide the View, so im trying to find a way to enable Struts to serve
just a result without a JSP or HTML page, i just want the result. Oh god
this is confusing....

Oh, *that* plugin. Sorry. I thought you were talking about the contents of
the link you had just posted, rather than the S2 plugin. I also assumed the
original poster was talking about S1 rather than S2, but it could have been
either. The class I mentioned will work for S1.

Well, you can use the plugin to "send the data back", using a "json"
result, instead of writing to the OutputStream directly, like Joe
mentioned. The plugin has a helper class to write to an stream, or build
an string from an object also. I recently added an interceptor, to
populate an action from a request containing a JSON string.

It does, and you don't need a plugin. If you just want to get data back from
the server, you can send JSON and use ActionScript's 'eval' function to turn
that into a data structure, just like you would in JavaScript.
For rendering beans or other Java object into JSON, you might want to take a
look at some code that Don wrote that's sitting in the Struts sandbox. See:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/struts/sandbox/trunk/flow/src/java/org/apache/struts/flow/json/JSONSerializer.java
I wrote a more generalised and extensible JSON renderer at my day job, but
I'd need to get permission before I could post that.

I have never used Flex, but it seems like it plays nicely with JSON:
http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mesh/archives/2006/03/one_of_the_litt.html
You can use the JSON plugin to serialize your actions into JSON. If you
post this question on the user list, you'll probably get more answers

What do you mean by "just the result?" If your Flex app is calling Struts,
then it needs some kind of data back. Are you saying that you want the
result to be ActionScript, kind of like a JSON result? Or XML?
In the general case, if a Struts action writes data to the Servlet response,
then it should return null. But often, an easier way to do something like a
simple XML or JSON result is to use a JSP with a content type other than
text/html. Automatic serialization of a POJO to JSON or XML is probably
more elegant, but for a quick solution, you can render that stuff in a JSP
-- in any case, better than writing directly to the output stream, which I'd
generally only want to do with downloads or other binary data.
I don't know if this helps at all...

Well in that article in the
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/struts_05.html page number 5 the
author says that we could create some kind of service facade to solve the
problem, my question is how can i do that in Struts?

Well, sort of. If you just ignore all the fancy bits of Flex, you can use
the loadXML API to make a request to a servlet and send back JSON wrapped in
minimal XML. Then 'eval' the JSON, and you have your response in an
ActionScript data structure.

Hi,
First, this is probably not a question for the dev list, but rather
for the user list (http://struts.apache.org/mail.html#subscribing)
I haven't done much with Flex, but I'm familiar enough with the
technology to hopefully shed some light on your situation. Struts is
designed to serve HTTP requests. I don't think Flex is designed out
of the box to use HTTP to transfer the serialized objects you need.
Basically, Struts, and the servlet container that it runs in, just
sends HTTP responses. By default, Flex uses a different protocol.
As such, you probably want to check out the Flex HTTPService, which
looks like it is designed to make use of HTTP responses, which a
Struts app will serve, within Flex.

Re: Struts service facade
Posted by Martin Cooper <ma...@apache.org>.
First, this is really a question for the User list. This list is for
discussion of the development of Struts itself. Please follow up on that
list rather than here.
Second, you haven't actually said whether you're trying to use Struts 1 or
Struts 2. Joe has provided the answer for S1; Musachy has provided the
answer for S2. If you read a little bit more of the corresponding
documentation, you will see that either way, the solution to your problem is
simple.

Sorry, may be i am unable to explain what i want to do, so i will enter in
some details. What i understand is that when a request to a Struts-enabled
app, the request is passed to the controller, the controller then create
some kind of object based on the request and then send that to the "handler"
then the handler do whatever it should and then send a result
(forwardsomehing is called) back to the controller which at the end render a
page. What i want to do its avoiding the controller render that page, and
just sent back "the result", for example an object, a bean to be consumed by
flex...Just like if you were calling a function, since Flex is able to
serialize java objects and deserialize them into actionscript objects. I
mean, im trying to enable Struts to serve to different clients, for example
Flex or an applet...
