Multiple calls to struts2 action

[kooper Sivan]

Hi,

My project uses struts2 with spring and Jpa on Hibernate.
On debugging the application i've seen that the action class is being invoked twice.
Am unable to figure out why this occurs.
Is it something to do with the transaction?
Any suggestions on why this is happening.

Thanks,
Kooper

whatever the frameworks you integrate with struts 2 action class never execute twice until and unless you redirect to the same action again.

Hi Mohan,

Thanks for your reply.
Could you please elaborate more on this.
I was unable to understand what exactly you meant by redirecting to the same action class..

Thanks,

post your struts.xml configuration file. For your reference follow the link http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11/docs/redirect-action-result.html

sure please find below
<package name="xxxxxx" namespace="/" extends="struts-default"> <action name="forwardManageUsersAction" class="com.xxxxxx.ui.web.actions.ManageUsersAction" method="doForward"> <result name="success">/jsp/manageUsers.jsp</result> </action> </package> <package name="example" extends="json-default"> <!-- action name="fetchUsersBasedOnSelectCriteriaAction" class="com.xxxxxx.ui.web.actions.ManageUsersAction" method="fetchUsersBasedOnSelectCriteria"> <result type="json" /> </action--> </package>

the above action is invoked when a link is clicked for the first time to load the page "manageUsers.jsp" with values from DB.
the action which returns JSON has been commented for the timebeing.

public String doForward(){
		fetchAllUserType();
		fetchCities();
		fetchZone();
		getManagerialUsers();
		return SUCCESS;
	}
	public void fetchAllUserType(){
//		managerialUserType = processingDelegate.fetchAllUserType();
//	}
//	
//	public void fetchZone(){
//		zoneList = processingDelegate.fetchZone();
//	}
//	
//	public void fetchCities(){
//		cityList = processingDelegate.fetchAllCities();
//	}

the above method is invoked by the action, the subsequent methods within populate data at runtime, but the the method is getting invoked twice, even after the processing is over the first time.
