ActionMessage is not working

[selvi family]

Hi,

This is my execute() method in Action class.

public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws java.io.IOException, javax.servlet.ServletException
{
UseMeBean ub=new UseMeBean();
request.setAttribute("ubean",ub);
System.out.println("Inside Use action");
boolean flag = ub.doCheck(request);
ActionMessages messages = new ActionMessages();
if(flag)
{
ActionMessage msg = new ActionMessage("message1", "data.use");
messages.add(ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE, msg);
System.out.println("Inside Use Action if " +messages);
saveMessages(request,messages);
return mapping.findForward("use");
}
else
{
ActionMessage msg = new ActionMessage("message1", "data.no");
messages.add(ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE, msg);
System.out.println("Inside Use Action else " +messages);
saveMessages(request,messages);
return mapping.findForward("nouse");
}

to get the value of the message i used <html:messages> in my forward JSP either Use.jsp or NoUse.jsp

this is the code:
<html:messages id="msg" message="true">
<bean:write name="msg"/>

But no message is displayed...

Other text in JSPs are displayed properly except the message.

In my ApplicationResources.properties I gave entry like

data.use=<p class="body">Using Message is Successful</p>
data.no=<p class="body">Using Message is NOT Successful</p>

I am able to use other resources specified in ApplicationResources .So its not a problem with ApplicationResources.

Problem is with <html:messages> tag or in my Action class..
pls tell me where I went wrong...

Hi,

Try this :
in Action class

ActionMessages messages = new ActionMessages() ;
if(flag)
{
ActionMessage msg = new ActionMessage("data.use") ;
messages.add("message1",msg) ;
saveMessages(request,messages) ;
return mapping.findForward("use");
}

in jsp

<html:messages id="message1" message="true">
   <bean:write name="message1">
</html:messages>

And verify scope="request" for action in struts-config.xml.
I hope its working.

Hi Cendy,

I tried this but its not working...I dont get ActionMessage in my JSP.

code in Action Class:

ActionMessage msg = new ActionMessage("data.use");
messages.add("message1", msg);
saveMessages(request,messages);
return mapping.findForward("use");

In JSP:
<html:messages id="message1" message="true">
<bean:write name="message1"/>
</html:messages>

In struts-config.xml:

Hi,

I don't understand why its not working.
Could you try to code saveMessages(session,messages) in your Action class and scope="session" in struts-config ?
Tell me if its working better.

hi ,

I tried HttpSession with saveMessages()

saveMessages(HttpSession session,messages);

I got 2 errors while compiling the Action Class.
myTest/struts/UseAction.java:30: ')' expected
saveMessages(HttpSession session,messages);
^
myTest/struts/UseAction.java:30: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : variable HttpSession
location: class myTest.struts.UseAction
saveMessages(HttpSession session,messages);


^
I have included

import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;

still got the above error..Not able to compile Action class ..

pls tell me what could be the problem...

Hi,

Code this in your Action class :

HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
