logic:iterate in struts

hi,

I have a strtus application in which the model is returning an array (str[][]). the action is creating an object of this model & storing the array in the request.attribute.

Display obj[][]=new Display();
request.setAttribute("obj",obj);
map.findForward("success");

in the jsp i am getting this request attribute

String[][] hello= (String[][])(request.getAttribute("obj"));

i want to use logic:iterate to iterate through this array & display the values in the array.

Please help. its urgent.

Regards
Betsy

HI all
can anyone help me with the below problem ??

Sorry, I do not have any great ideas for you. Is this line of code correct?

Display obj[][]=new Display();

It does not look valid to me and it does not seem to match up with the rest of the code. You are getting a two-dimensional array of Strings? I cannot think how to use the logic:iterate tag for that. You might be about to use javascript.

Like Brent, I'm having a hard time making sense of your code. However, I can tell you how to use <logic:iterate> with a two-dimentional String array.

If you code this in your Action:

String[][] rowsAndCols = {{"A1", "A2", "A3"}, {"B1", "B2", "B3"}, {"C1", "C2", "C3"}};
request.setAttribute("rowsAndCols", rowsAndCols);

And this in your JSP:

<logic:iterate id="row" name="rowsAndCols">
<logic:iterate id="col" name="row">
<bean:write name="col" />
</logic:iterate>
</logic:iterate>

You'll get this:

A1 A2 A3 B1 B2 B3 C1 C2 C3

hi
i tried the above code and got the following

Please help

Betsy,

Before I posted the above code, I tried it in a test application and it ran exactly as I outlined.

Can you show us your code?

hi

please find the code below.
<%@ page language="java" contentType='text/html; charset=UTF-8' %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tags/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tags/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>

<html>
<body>
<br><br><br>
<table border="1" align="center">
<tr bgcolor="#D1CBD8">
<th><bean:message key="app.server"/></th>
<th><bean:message key="app.status"/></th>
<th><bean:message key="app.filesize"/></th>
<th><bean:message key="app.timestamp"/></th>
</tr>

<%
String[][] hello= (String[][])(request.getAttribute("obj"));
%>

<logic:iterate id="row" name="hello" scope="request">
<logic:iterate id="col" name="row" scope="request">
<bean:write name="col" />
</logic:iterate>
</logic:iterate>

</body>
</html>

This is in the jsp
and in the servlet, i have set the attribute value. Please give me the solution

Change

<logic:iterate id="row" name="hello" scope="request">

to

<logic:iterate id="row" name="obj" scope="request">

The "hello" variable is not in any scope, so you can't use it in a <logic:iterate> tag unless you first put it in a scope, for example:

<% request.setAttribute("hello", hello); %>

Note: this will not work unless "obj" actually is of type String[][].

hi
\i have changed hello to obj

<logic:iterate id="row" name="obj" scope="request">
<logic:iterate id="col" name="row">
<bean:write name="col" />
</logic:iterate>
</logic:iterate>

</body>
</html>

but still i am getting the same error!

The only explanation I can think of is that "obj" must not be of type String[][].

The code that you gave us in your first post:

Display obj[][]=new Display();

Is not valid Java code, and will not compile. Can you show us the code for your Display class?

//package strut;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionError;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors;
import org.apache.struts.action.Action;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;

import com.DTO;
import com.Display;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.HashMap;

public class ControlAction extends Action{

/**
* @param args
*/
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)throws Exception {
String path = ((getterssetters) form).getPath();
String filename = ((getterssetters) form).getFilename();
if ( path == "" ) {
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR,new ActionError("pathvalue",path));
// Report any errors we have discovered
if (!errors.isEmpty()) {
saveErrors(req, errors);
}
}
if (filename==""){
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR,new ActionError("filenamevalue",filename));
if (!errors.isEmpty()) {
saveErrors(req, errors);
}
}
System.out.println("in controlActiopm"+path);
Display object = new Display(path,filename);
String[][] str = object.getDetails();
//req.setAttribute("value",str);
// req.setAttribute("server",array);
// DTO value=object.getDetails();
//HttpSession session = req.getSession();
req.setAttribute("obj", str);
return mapping.findForward("success");
}
}

Try this:

<logic:iterate id="row" name="obj" scope="request">
<logic:notEmpty name="row >
<logic:iterate id="col" name="row">
<logic:notEmpty name="col">
<bean:write name="col" />
</logic:notEmpty>
</logic:iterate>
</logic:notEmpty>
</logic:iterate>
