没有struts之前,使用servlet,最常用的是doGet,doPost,service方法,如果有些经验的程序员会合理的使用这三个方法:如在用户发出get的请求时,将用户请求在doGet方法中处理,用户发出post请求时,将用户的请求用doPost请求处理,必要时加上service方法去处理那些在一个servlet中必须执行的请求,用户的请求大体也就这三类,但是如果细分,一个“编辑”,“删除”,“查看”等操作都是doGet的范围,当然也可以都写到serice方法中或doPost中处理,这样为了区分这些请求,我们通常都要在程序中加入一个判断的参数,如:operate,然后在程序中判断 if operate.equals("update")....,if operate.equals("del")....,if operate.equals("view")....等,实际上这只是个简单的逻辑,如果业务更加复杂,你可能写更多的类时operate的参数,这样就造成程序中有若干if..else if...else if .., 即便你有非常好的编码规范,整齐的缩进,这个程序也相当难维护;而用到struts时,你又可能把这些参数都写到execute方法中;
那么最好的方法 还是将这些逻辑分开处理,如果执行“编辑”操作的时候调用“编辑”对应的方法,执行“删除”的时候调用“删除”对应的方法...将是比较理想的结果,
为了实现这个应用要求,struts引入DispatchAction ,这样你在struts-config.xml文件的action元素中增加parameter属性即可实现这个功能:
<action
path="/saveUser"
type="org.appfuse.webapp.action.UserAction"
name="userForm"
scope="request"
input="edit"
parameter
="method"
unknown="false"
validate="false"
>
<forward
name="list"
path="/WEB-INF/pages/userList.jsp"
redirect="false"
/>
<forward
name="edit"
path="/WEB-INF/pages/userForm.jsp"
redirect="false"
/>
</action>
package org.appfuse.webapp.action; import ... public final class UserAction extends BaseAction { public ActionForward add(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { ... } public ActionForward cancel(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { ... } public ActionForward delete(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { ... } public ActionForward edit(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { ... } public ActionForward save(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { ... } public ActionForward search(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { ... } public ActionForward unspecified(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { ... } private void sendNewUserEmail(HttpServletRequest request, UserForm userForm) throws Exception { ... } }
