Hi ,

Iam working on an application with struts architecture and I have JSPs(JSTL) to generate the UI Screens. I have a select option box which retrieves data during "onchange" event. During this the entire page is refreshed. I would Like to implement this request through AJAX/DWR.
Can anyone help me in configuring them with struts.

Thanks.

You start by creating Java classes and methods that do what you want to do and registering them in the dwr.xml file. One thing I have found is that it's better not to use Action classes to interact with DWR. Just write a regular Java class.

Once you've done this, just have your onchange event call the DWR function that's generated to call your server-side Java. You then use the Document Object Model (DOM) and javaScript to make whatever changes to the document you need to make based on the data returned from the DWR function.

If you have specific questions about this process, let us know.

i think still you need to give mappings for dwr servlet in web.xml file...append below lines in your web.xml file

Hi,

Thank you for the suggestions. I downloaded th dwr.jar and added to the classpath, also updated dwr.xml for the class to be used. And updated web.xml for dwr mappings.
Also in my JSP included the script and invoked the method.

When I execute my program I get the following exception :

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/directwebremoting/annotations/AnnotationsConfigurator (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0)

Am I getting this due to some version conflict..?
Please help.

You get this error message when all or part of your application is compiled with JDK 1.5, and the server you're running on doesn't support JDK 1.5. This could be either your code or the DWR jar file.

Either upgrade to a server that does support JDK 1.5, or recompile everything for JDK 1.4 compatibility. I'm not sure whether the dwr.jar file requires JDK1.5. If it does, and you can't upgrade to a JDK 1.5 server, I'd suggest you look at getting an earlier version of DWR that is compatible with JDK 1.4.
