struts2 with ajax: howto return a value to div?

[Peter Primrose]

Hi
Trying to use AJAX with struts2. I'm 'paraphrasing' an example from the apache site.

The objective is to return a simple value (field name=data) to a dvi ('myID')

I did this:

* JSP *
~~~~~~~

  
 
<s:head theme="ajax"/>
<div id='myID' style="border: 1px solid yellow;">here is my ajax exmp</div>
<s:form
        id='theForm2'
        cssStyle="border: 1px solid green;"
        action='testing_testAjax1'
        method='post'
        theme="ajax">
 
    <input type='text' name='data' value='Struts User'>
 
    <s:submit value="doIt" theme="ajax" targets="myID"/>
 
</s:form>
 
  

when the user clicks the doIt the action, testAjax1, is executed (showing the 'data' the user has input)


* ACTION *
~~~~~~~~~~

public String testAjax1()
{
System.out.println("say something: "+data);
return "t2";
}

and routed to AjaxResult3.jsp:

*XML*
~~~~~~

    
        <action name="testing_*"  method="{1}" class="ajax.TestingAction">
                        <result name="t1" type="tiles">testJx</result>
                        <result name="t2">/pages/test/AjaxResult3.jsp</result>
            <interceptor-ref name="user"/>
        </action>

OUTPUT: The result, AjaxResult3.jsp, comes in a NEW page with the 'data' value the user has provided

"AjaxResult3.jsp"
-----------------

    
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
 
<%
    request.setAttribute("decorator", "none");
    response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.1
    response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.0
    response.setDateHeader ("Expires", 0); //prevents caching at the proxy server
%>
 
 
The value you entered was: <s  :-P	  roperty value="data"/><br/>

My question is how to have the result get to myID and not to a new page?
Thanks
