I have used ModelDriven in my Action class, previously it was working fine, now it has stopped working.
When I used <s:debug> tag of Struts in my JSP I found following result:
Struts ValueStack Debug:
I'm accessing values in my JSP page as :
<s:property value="categoryName"/>
<s:property value="categoryId"/> // I typed here
working fine, If I accessed them as :
<s:property value="category.categoryName"/>
<s:property value="category.categoryId"/>
My questions are :
- Why I'm getting properties 2 times ?
- How to avoid them getting multiple times ?
- I have saw many people suggesting to avoid
ModelDriven, why ?
Update:
Actually I'm getting properties 3 times, I forgot to highlight 3rd one. Please look at my
Actionclass.I have not defined separate properties of
Modelclass in my action, highlighted by 1, how to set these properties ?Is anything, I'm doing wrong when implementing
ModelDriven?
Here is my model in CategoryAction:
public class CategoryAction extends ActionSupport implements ModelDriven<Category>,
Preparable, SessionAware, ServletRequestAware, ServletContextAware {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private Category category;
private Category [] categories;
private ServletContext servletContext;
private Map<String, Object> session;
private ServletRequest request;
@Override
public Category getModel() {
return this.category;
}
@Override
public void prepare() throws Exception {
this.category = new Category();
if( this.jmain == null )
this.jmain = new Jmain();
}
public void prepareCrudCategory() throws Exception {
this.categoryService = new CategoryService();
}
@Override
public String execute() throws Exception {
System.out.println("----------CategoryAction#execute()-----------");
if( this.category.getCategoryId() == 0)
this.category = this.jmain.getCategory( 1 ); //Get Main Category
else
this.category = this.jmain.getCategory( this.category.getCategoryId() );
System.out.println(this.category.toString());
return super.execute();
}
public Category getCategory() {
return category;
}
public void setCategory(Category category) {
this.category = category;
}
public Category[] getCategories() {
return categories;
}
public void setCategories(Category[] categories) {
this.categories = categories;
}
}
Update 2:
This is my JSP code snippet:
<form action="add-category" id="id-add-id-entry-form" name="addIdEntry" method="post">
<input type="hidden" id="opType" name="opType" value='<s:property value="opType"/>'>

<s:actionmessage />
</h3>
</s:if>
<s:if test="hasActionErrors()">

How I got ValueStack Contents Using Debug Tag:
After using <s:debug/>, I got [debug] link on clicking it, following values are shown :
