Can you set parameters in <s:submit> using <s:param> in the tag body?

[edwin dela rosa]

Hi,

I was trying to use the <s:submit> and invoke it with *some *parameters
using <s:param>.

i.e.,

*<s:submit ...>
  <s:param ../>
  <s:param ../>
  <s:param ../>
</submit>*

However, the parameters don't seem to be getting through to the
HttpServletRequest object
when interrogated inside the Action.

I know I can use the <s:url> instead, but I preferred the <s:submit>.

I'm implementing ServletRequestAware interface, by the way.

Thanks.

No, that's not supported.  It would have to append the parameters to the
query string or create post parameters after the specific submit button
is pressed. That would need to be implemented using a javascript
listener attached to the click or submit event.  It's a nice idea though.

Are these parameters static?  If they are you could set them up in
struts config and get the submit button to direct to a specific action
mapping with these parameters defined.

Cheers,

Could you use s:hidden on the form to store your params?

I should add that the action and method attributes of <submit> work by
appending the action or method value into the name/value of the <input>
for the submit button. The selected submit button's name/value are one
of the submitted form's parameters.  Embedding an arbitrary number of
params into the name/value of the submit would not be as elegant.

Thanks for your reply Jeromy.

I've read Mark's Struts 2 Cookbook and it gave me good ideas.

What I just did was the following:

   - Create an action in the struts.xml
   - Used that particular action in the <s:submit> tag
   - In the struts.xml, I've set some dynamic parameters along with the
   action definition

Everything went like charm.

Cheers!
Eduardo
