I'm following "Struts 2 in Action" book and under the first chapter of that book, there is a sample basic application to be developed. I tried to follow it and the action class is not calling properly. But I can view the success result JSP page. When I use the debug mode and try to debug the execute method of the action class, it is not calling. I'm using struts-2.3.15.1 libraries to develop this application.
My Action class is below :
package manning.chapterTwo;
import org.apache.struts2.config.Result;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;
#Result(name="SUCCESS", value="/chapterTwo/HelloWorld.jsp" )
public class AnnotatedHelloWorldAction extends ActionSupport{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private static final String GREETING = "Hello ";
public String execute() {
setCustomGreeting( GREETING + getName() );
return "SUCCESS";
}
private String name;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
private String customGreeting;
public String getCustomGreeting()
{
return customGreeting;
}
public void setCustomGreeting( String customGreeting ){
this.customGreeting = customGreeting;
}
}
JSP Page to get the Input looks like below (NameCollector.jsp) :
<%# page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
<%# taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Name Collector</title>
</head>
<body>
<hr>
<h4>Enter your name so that we can customize a greeting just for you!</h4>
<s:form action="annotatedHelloWorld">
<s:textfield name="name" label="Your name"/>
<s:submit/>
</s:form>
<hr>
</body>
</html>
Output JSP :
<%# page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
<%# taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>HelloWorld</title>
</head>
<body>
<hr>
<h3>Custom Greeting Page</h3>
<h4><s:property value="customGreeting"/></h4>
<hr>
</body>
</html>

How to resolve it?
You should add an action annotation to the action class or method
#ParentPackage("chapterTwo");
#Action(value="HelloWorld", results=#Result(name="SUCCESS", value="/chapterTwo/HelloWorld.jsp" ))
public class AnnotatedHelloWorldAction extends ActionSupport {
Supposed the author either using conventions to map your action or added the action annotation in the errata. Also added the parent package annotation to which the action belongs to. And don't forget to add struts2-convention-plugin to the library set, because it's missed in the examples.

In your jsp file form action, Replace
<form action="ServletValues.java" method="get">
With
<form action="TwitterServlet" method="get">
Since in your web.xml your servlet mapping pattern is TwitterServlet for the Servlet class that you intend to call.
Also in your servlet you are just printing to System.out while you should write into the reponse stream using
response.getOutputStream().write("---Tweet---"+status2.getText());
so that it shows up in the response
Change your form action to:
<form action="/TwitterServlet" method="get">
your servlet url is /TwitterServlet as you have defined

When I link to /hello-world I see only "This is message" text but there is no value of ${message}. Also the console doesn't show message by System.out.println(). Hence, HelloWorldAction doesn't call. What do I do wrong?
P.S. I'm using struts2-convention-plugin-2.3.16.3.
After plugging of log4j and viewing of logs this trouble was solved. There wasn't asm libraries at my classpath.
I'm currently working on a school project. We have to do a small market website in Java.
I've a small problem. I have an Index.jsp where i want to include a servlet (RandomArticle.jsp). This servlet have a .jsp and a .java and just shuffle a collection and return names.
When I display index.jsp, the html of RandomArticle.jsp is well displayed (so the include is correct) but the returned name are "null".
Here is some code:
Index.jsp (in WebContent of eclipse)
<%# page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Market</title>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h1>market 2013</h1>
<h2>Bievenue </h2>
</header>
<nav>
<% String include = "/WEB-INF/RandomArticle.jsp"; %>
<jsp:include page='<%=include%>' />
</nav>
</body>
</html>
RandomArticle.jsp (in WEB-INF):
<h1>Liste des produits EpiMarket</h1>
<%
String productName1 = (String) request.getAttribute("productName1");
String productName2 = (String) request.getAttribute("productName2");
String productName3 = (String) request.getAttribute("productName3");
%>
<p>Acheter <% out.println(productName1); %></p>

return (((AbstractProduct) allProducts.get(index)).getName());
}
public void doGet( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response ) throws ServletException, IOException{
ADAO<AbstractProduct> dao = new DAOProduit();
allProducts = ((DAOProduit) dao).getAll();
Collections.shuffle(allProducts);
request.setAttribute("productName1", getProductName(0));
request.setAttribute("productName2", getProductName(1));
request.setAttribute("productName3", getProductName(2));
this.getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher( "/WEB-INF/RandomArticle.jsp" ).forward( request, response );
}
}
I think that the .java is never called, but I don't understand why.
Thanks for your time.

I have a simple JSP project, which has 3 classes, controllers and DAO's
I can Login but when I click on my buttons, I just can't get the Parameters from the form.
Lemme show the code, and maybe You'll figure it out:
package school.controller;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher;
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import school.dao.StudentDAO;
import school.model.Student;
public class StudentController extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private static String UPDATE = "/student.jsp";
private static String VIEW_COURSES = "CourseController";
private static String VIEW_GRADES = "GradeController";
private StudentDAO dao;
public StudentController() {
dao = new StudentDAO();
}
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
String forward = "";
String action = request.getParameter("name");
if (action.equalsIgnoreCase("update")) {
forward = UPDATE;
Student student = (Student) request.getAttribute("student");
request.setAttribute("student", student);
} else if (action.equalsIgnoreCase("viewgrades")) {
forward = VIEW_GRADES;
Student student = (Student) request.getAttribute("student");
request.setAttribute("student", student);
} else if (action.equalsIgnoreCase("viewcourses")) {
forward = VIEW_COURSES;
Student student = (Student) request.getAttribute("student");
request.setAttribute("student", student);
}
RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher(forward);
view.forward(request, response);
}
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
doGet(request, response);
}
}

You're confusing attributes and parameters.
Parameters are String values sent by the browser. They're accessed using the getParameterXxx() family of methods.
Attributes are data that you can add to a request (or session, or servlet context), or any type, in order to get them backlater. You typically add an attribute to the request in a servlet (for example, the information about the logged in user) in order to get back this attribute in the JSP and display the information.
In your code, the only place where you get a parameter is commented out. And you're trying to get a parameter named "hidden", although none of the form has an input field with than name. It's the name attribute of an input field that is submitted by the browser, and not its id attribute.
Also, you should use GET rather than POST for actions which consist in getting or reading things.
The reason you don't get any values is that the attribute "name" in the form, indeed is just the name of the form and isn't sent at all.
To actually send data, you need to provide some in the innerHTML of the form. Like this (not the best solution, but should you get running):
<form method="GET" action="StudentController" name="formName">
<input type="hidden" name="viewgrades" value="show" />
<input type="submit" value="View My Grades" />
</form>
After this you can read the sent data "viewgrades=show" (parameter=value) in your Java-class.
Also, btw, you shouldn't use "h3" as a paragraph ("p") or section. It is intended to be a headline.
We're working on our first JSF project, and we have some problems. We are making the login functionality, and when we hit the login button, it throws:
an IllegalArgumentException - null
source
a NullPointerException -
Servlet.service() for servlet [Faces
Servlet] in context with path
[/jsf-blank] threw exception
Do you have any idea why it's not working? Please enlighten us.

You're intermixing JSF 1.x and JSF 2.x approaches. Maybe you're reading from an outdated book/tutorial which is targeted on JSF 1.x while the IDE is autogenerating JSF 2.x stuff?
JSF 2.0 doesn't support JSP by default anymore. The legacy JSP has been succeeded by Facelets which offers far more superior templating capabilities. Although you can configure JSF 2.0 to use the vintage JSP again, I strongly recommend to not do so. Rather rewrite login.jsp to login.xhtml:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Login</title>
</head>
<body>
<h:form>
Username: <h:inputText value="#{userBean.username}" />
<br />
Password: <h:inputText value="#{userBean.password}" />
<br />
<h:commandButton value="Login" action="#{userBean.getNextPage}" />
</h:form>
</body>
Unrelated to the problem, with JSF 2.0 you can also get rid of the whole faces-config.xml as you currently have. Add the following javax.faces.bean annotations to the User class:
#ManagedBean(name="userBean")
#RequestScoped
public class User {
// ...
}
With the new implicit navigation, the outcome will be by default treated as filename of the view. You've already done it fine, so you don't need those navigation rules at all.
