iFrame and struts

[Krupa Eng]

Hi,

I have a jsp which contains a iFrame. Using javascript I want to change the src of the iframe to a struts action. How can I do that.

I was able to assign a jsp to the src from javascript, but how can I make the control go to my struts action which can then forward it to the jsp?

Thanks,

A struts action can be called from anywhere by including the ".do" suffix. This calls the struts action servlet, which in turn calls the action class. So, in answer to your question, simply have your javascript change the source of the iframe to "myAction.do"

Hi guys

WHile using the IFrame and call the struts action make sure "/" should not be use..

Here is the code where i used .. pls go through this..

In JSP page : -

<iframe style="width:380px; height:150px; border: groove;" frameborder="1" id="eventinfo" src="viewEventBasicView.do" >

</iframe>

in struts config

<action path="/viewEventBasicView"
type="com.micros.portal.backOffice.forecasting.MyForecastBasicViewEventBasicDispatchAction"
scope="request"
name="MyForecastBasicViewEventForm"
validate="false">
<forward name="showbasicevent"
path="/WEB-INF/backOffice/forecasting/myForecastBasicViewEventInfo.jsp"
contextRelative="true" />

</action>

=============
<form-bean name ="MyForecastBasicViewEventForm"
type = "com.micros.portal.backOffice.forecasting.MyForecastBasicViewEventForm"/>

you should use url rewriting for the src attribute:

src='<html:rewrite action="viewEventBasicView"/>'
