Problem: Control is not going to Action
I am able to see only blank page after clicking on Search for Employees
Here is my welcome.jsp
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-bean" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-html" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-logic" prefix="logic" %>
<html:html locale="true">
<head>
<title><bean:message key="welcome.title"/></title>
<html:base/>
</head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<html:link forward="searchlink">Search for Employees</html:link>
<logic:notPresent name="org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE" scope="application">
ERROR: Application resources not loaded -- check servlet container
logs for error messages.
</logic:notPresent>
<h3><bean:message key="welcome.heading"/></h3>
<bean:message key="welcome.message"/>
</body>
</html:html>
Here is my action
public class SearchAction extends Action{
public ActionForward execute(
ActionForm form,
ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response){
SearchForm sForm =(SearchForm)form;
System.out.println("inside aciton class");
EmployeeSearchService service = new EmployeeSearchService();
ArrayList results = new ArrayList();
System.out.println("inside action class");
if(sForm.getName()!=null || sForm.getSsNum()!=null){
System.out.println("inside action class and if block");
String name=sForm.getName();
System.out.println("inside action class value of name "+name);
String ssNum=sForm.getSsNum();
System.out.println("inside action class value of ssNum "+ssNum);
if(name!=null && name.trim().length()>0){
results = service.searchByName(name);
} else{
results = service.searchBySsNum(ssNum);
}
sForm.setResults(results);
}
return mapping.findForward("success");
}
}
Here is my Form
package com.jamesholmes.struts;
import java.util.List;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
public class SearchForm extends ActionForm{
private String name;
private String ssNum;
private List results;
public SearchForm(){
System.out.println("inside SearchForm");
}
public List getResults() {
return results;
}
public void setResults(List results) {
this.results = results;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getSsNum() {
return ssNum;
}
public void setSsNum(String ssNum) {
this.ssNum = ssNum;
}
}
