There are various option you can use for Ajax Calling .
like dwr ,Json ,jQuery..

but there is one more option to call action without using it.

Call a Javascript method on change event of dropdown and submit your form there.

Hey Vic, sorry for the late reply, was stuck on something else..... look at the below code.. it should work... (I have not tested it.. please test it)



you can use "actionName!methodName.action" in the URL to go to "methodName" method.

Hi,

I Am working on struts 2 to be deployed on IBM portal server. Need to use ajax. when a textfield is populated an action has to be invoked. based on the result a dropdown has to be enabled or disabled. I have tried the other samples provided in the thread but with no result. Need help asap. Thanks in advance.
