I have a .jsp page in which I have four buttons named submit, add, update and delete:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <%@taglib uri="/struts-tags" prefix="s" %> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <title>Insert title here</title> </head> <body> <s:form action="User" > <s:submit /> <s:submit action="addUser" value="Add" /> <s:submit action="updateUser" value="Update" /> <s:submit action="deleteUser" value="Delete" /> </s:form> </body> </html>
In each view, it is redirected to the action class, as indicated in my struts.xml file, like:
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN" "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd"> <struts> <package name="default" extends="struts-default"> <action name="User" class="vaannila.UserAction"> <result name="success">/success.jsp</result> </action> <action name="addUser" method="add" class="vaannila.UserAction"> <result name="success">/success.jsp</result> </action> <action name="updateUser" method="update" class="vaannila.UserAction"> <result name="success">/success.jsp</result> </action> <action name="deleteUser" method="delete" class="vaannila.UserAction"> <result name="success">/success.jsp</result> </action> </package> </struts>
and finally to the corresponding action class method:
package vaannila; import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport; public class UserAction extends ActionSupport{ private String message; public String execute() { System.out.println("Inside execute method"); message = "Inside execute method"; return SUCCESS; } public String add() { System.out.println("Inside add method"); message = "Inside add method"; return SUCCESS; } public String update() { message = "Inside update method"; return SUCCESS; } public String delete() { message = "Inside delete method"; return SUCCESS; } public String getMessage() { return message; } public void setMessage(String message) { this.message = message; } }
When I click the submit button, it goes to the execute method, which is fine. But when I click the Add button or any other button again, it redirects to the execute method instead of the add method. What am I doing wrong? Waiting for your answers. thanks in advance
