How to retrive values from <s:select> tag which is populated with data from the database in struts2.

[Jyothsna Panchagnula]

Hi all,

I am populating countries list to a <s:select> tag in JSP during the page load.
The class using which I am populating countries contains all the getters and setters for the page.

My Question is how to retireve the form values once the use clicks on submit button.
ie do I need to write another class again with all the getters and setters ?

I am not able to crack this,
Can anyone please help me out?

My struts.xml file

 
<action name="UserRegistration" class="com.test.server.controller.LoadRegistration">
			<result name="input">Registration.jsp</result>
			<result>/RegistrationConfirmation.jsp</result>
        </action>
  

My jsp

 
<s:form action="UserRegistration" method="post"  required="true" validate="true">
		<table>			
<tr>
				    <td/>
					<td><!-- <bean:message key="prompt.login.registration.firstName"/> --></td>
					<td><s:textfield name="firstName" label="FirstName"  key="firstName" required="true"/></td>
				</tr>
				<tr>
				    <td/>
					<td><!-- <bean:message key="prompt.login.registration.lastName"/> --></td> 
					<td><s:textfield  name="lastName" label="LastName" required="true"/></td>
				</tr>
				<tr>
				   <td/>
					<td><!-- <bean:message key="prompt.login.registration.emailId"/> --></td>
					<td><s:textfield name="emailId" label="EmailId" required="true"/></td>
				</tr>
				<tr>
				   <td/>
					<td><!-- <bean:message key="prompt.login.registration.password"/> --></td>
					<td><s:password name="password" maxlength="10" label="Password" required="true"/></td>
				</tr>
				<tr>
				   <td/>
					<td><!-- <bean:message key="prompt.login.registration.confirmPassword"/> --></td>
					<td><s:password name="confirmPassword" maxlength="10" label="ConfirmPassword" required="true"/></td>
				</tr>
				
				<tr>
					 <td/>
					<td><!-- <bean:message key="prompt.login.registration.country"/> --></td>
					<td> <s:textfield id="zipcode" name="zipcode" label="ZipCode"/>
					
					</td>
				</tr>
</s:form>
   

My Action class

 
public class UserRegistration extends ActionSupport{
	 private List countryList=null;
		public String execute() throws Exception {
	        //setMessage(getText(MESSAGE));
			TestDaoImpl daoImpl = new TestDaoImpl();
			setCountryList((List)daoImpl.populateCountry());
			setIndustryList((List)daoImpl.populateIndustry());
			System.out.println("country list size :"+countryList.size());			
			System.out.println("Industry list size :"+industryList.size());
			return INPUT;
	    }

		
		private List industryList = null; 
		private String comments = null;
		
		public void setCountryList(List countryList)
		{
			this.countryList= countryList;
		}
		
		public List getCountryList()
		{
			return countryList;
		}
		
		

Can any one please help me out?

thanks,

Hi,

No matter which action you called just remember which action you called that have getter or setter of get the value of your variable.

like if you declare in Jsp <s:select name="country" .... />

then your called action contains country getter and setter method at your action.

Other wise you have to use old java method.

request.getparameter("country").

that also gives you value of your select combo box.
