EventDispatchAction 学习

EventDispatchAction作用：

用于处理多个提交动作的EventDispatchAction类。这个类也是DispatchAction的子类，它在使用上要比LookupDispatchAction类容易的多。EventDispatchAction类的基本原理是通过<action>元素的parameter属性指定多个动作，中间用逗号（,）分隔。每个动作实际上就是<html:submit>标签的property属性值。这样EventDispatchAction类就可以根据每个<html:submit>标签的属性值来确定用户按的是哪个提交按钮了。

 

【第1步】实现EventDispatchAction的子类

         public ActionForward doBar(ActionMapping mapping,
                                                             ActionForm form,

                 return (mapping.findForward( "success"));

        }

}

 

有两个方法：doFoo和doBar，分别用来处理property属性值为“doFoo”和“doBar”的<html:submit>标签提交的请求动作

 

　　【第2步】配置EventDispatchAction类

<action path= "/eventAction-default"    
                                type= "org.apache.struts.webapp.dispatch.EventDispatchActionExample"
                                parameter= "doFoo,bar=doBar,default=doBar"
                                name= "testForm"
                                scope= "request">
                        <forward name= "success" path= "/eventAction.jsp"/>
                </action>

 

parameter="doFoo,bar=doBar,default=doBar"

如果submit标签不提供property 或者提供了property值，在Action中找不到相关的方法对应时，会提交的default标记的doBar方法中

【第3步】实现有多个提交按钮的JSP页面

                 <html:form action= "eventAction-default" style= "display:inline">
                            <html:submit property= "doFoo"><bean:message key= "button.foo.label" /></html:submit>
                    </html:form>
                             
                    <html:form action= "eventAction-default" style= "display:inline">
                     <input type= "hidden" name= "Method" value= "doBar" />
                            <html:submit><bean:message key= "button.bar.label" /></html:submit>
                    </html:form>
                             
                    <html:form action= "eventAction-default" style= "display:inline">
                            <html:submit><bean:message key= "button.default.label" /></html:submit>
                    </html:form>

 

 

运行结果：

 <html:submit><bean:message key="button.default.label" /></html:submit>，会执行default 指向的方法。如果没有default，会报

ServletException: Request[/eventAction-submit] does not contain handler parameter.

2.如果在配置文件中有相关的方法声明比如parameter="missingMethod"，但是在Action java文件中却没有missingMethod()方法的实现，会报

NoSuchMethodException: Action[/eventAction-error] does not contain specified method (check logs)

3. 也不能在配置文件总使用方法名execcute 。否则：

ServletException: Do not use 'execute' or 'perform' with DispatchAction.

4.如果忘记了在配置文件中，为Action设置parameter属性，会报：

ServletException: DispatchMapping[/eventAction-noparam] does not define a handler property
