Migrate Struts 1 EventDispatchAction to Struts 2
May I know what is the best way to migrate Struts 1 EventDispatchAction to
Struts 2?
The following is my struts-config.xml where displaying form and submitting
form is using the same action name but execute different methods in the
action.
<action path="/*_add"
type="org.springframework.web.struts.DelegatingActionProxy"
name="{1}Form"
attribute="{1}AddForm"
parameter="insert, default=showForm"
scope="request"
validate="false">
<forward name="input" path=".{1}.add"/>
<forward name="success" path="/{1}_add.do" redirect="true"/>
<forward name="cancel" path="/welcome.do" redirect="true"/>
</action>
How do I convert it to Struts 2 mapping?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,
Boon Leng

This is effectively possible 'out of the box' in S2. Just use the
'method' attribute on a s:submit tag, for example, to control dispatch.

Hi,
What I want to achieve is to migrate "EventDispatchAction", which means the
methods will be called base on event, not base on request. Single action
name can dispatch to multiple methods base on event triggered.
And I would like to know is there anyway I can configure it in the action
mapping? or I need to handle the event dispatch inside the action class?
Thanks.

Hi,
you can have a action mapping like this.
<action name="sample_{*}" method="{1}" ...>
and in your action class have 2 method according to you example
public String add1() {
// your logic
return SUCCESS;
}
public String add2() {
// your logic
return SUCCESS;
}
if a call like this
eg: /sample_add1.action the method add1 one will be called
you can get more infromation from the below link
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/action-configuration.html#ActionConfiguration-WildcardMethod
Thanks,
Nuwan

Re: Migrate Struts 1 EventDispatchAction to Struts 2

Hi,
I would like to know is there any class in struts 2 which is equivalent to
EventDispatchAction?
So that I can convert the following:
<action path="/sample_add" parameter="insert, default=showForm" ...>
to something like this:
<action name="sample_add" method="insert, default=showForm" ...>
and struts 2 will call the method showForm() by default and call insert()
when button is clicked.
Currently I have to dispatch the method inside my action class if I
maintaining the same action name.
public String execute() throws Exception {
if (insert) {
return insert();
} else {
return showForm();
}
}
or slip the mapping into 2 actions:
<action name="sample_add1" method="showForm" ...>
...
<action name="sample_add2" method="insert" ...>

Boon Leng

What do you specifically need help with? Struts2 supports wildcard
action paths, dispatch to different methods in an action and
parameterized results (equivalent to the forwards in your S1 config). Is
there something in particular you're having trouble with?
