I am trying to use the Struts2 jquery plugin for ajax requests on some of my forms, but I am having an issue with the response to the page. The struts action is validated and executed properly, but when jquery gets a response, it sets the response as the HTML of the entire page... It is putting the response in the correct place, but it is not responding with the right thing at all... Here is the jsp form:
<%@ tag language="java" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@ taglib uri='http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core' prefix='c'%>
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="sj" uri="/struts-jquery-tags"%>
<div class="columnbox">
<h2>Contact Us</h2>
<div id="contact">
<s:form id="contact_form" action="contact" method="post" cssClass="clearfix">
<label for="contact_user">Username / In-game name:</label>
<input type="text" id="contact_user" name="contactBean.username" class="field"
data-enter-click="sendbutton" maxlength="16" size="16" />
<div id="contact_response" class="response">
</div>
<sj:submit
formIds="contact_form"
id="sendbutton"
targets="contact_response"
value="Send"
button="true"
/>
</s:form>
</div>
</div>
And here is a snipit of the contactAction class:
public class ContactAction extends ActionSupport {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -5484167219440627408L;
private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(ContactAction.class);
private ContactBean contactBean;
@Override
public String execute() throws Exception {
log.info("TEST 4");
//Do email stuff
addActionMessage(Constants.EMAIL_SENT);
log.info(this.getActionMessages());
return Action.SUCCESS;
}
@Override
public void validate() {
System.out.println("TEST");
log.info("TEST 2");
//do validation
if (contactBean == null) {
addActionError("");
}
else if (contactBean.getUsername() == null || contactBean.getUsername().isEmpty()) {
addActionError(Constants.NO_USERNAME);
}
log.info(this.getActionErrors());
}
public ContactBean getContactBean() {
return contactBean;
}
public void setContactBean(ContactBean contactBean) {
this.contactBean = contactBean;
}
}
I am pretty sure that the tag is exactly how it should be. The request is being sent properly, and the response is being recieved. This looks like a problem with the jquery ... Thanks for your help
