DWR support for struts

[cghimanshu]

Hi ,

I want to use dwr with struts.
I follow the following procedure.

Step 1:Add the dwr servlet entries in web.xml

<servlet>
          <servlet-name>dwr-invoker</servlet-name>
          <display-name>DWR Servlet</display-name>
          <servlet-class>org.directwebremoting.servlet.DwrServlet</servlet-class>
          <init-param>
             <param-name>debug</param-name>
             <param-value>true</param-value>
          </init-param>
          <load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup>
        </servlet>
       
        <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>dwr-invoker</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/dwr/*</url-pattern>
        </servlet-mapping>

also added for struts servlet

 <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>

so that it get initialize first.

Step 2: create the simple jsp page with name Login.jsp

<%@taglib prefix="html" uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld"%>
<script type='text/javascript' src='../dwr/engine.js'> </script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='../dwr/util.js'> </script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='../dwr/interface/login.js'> </script>

<html:form action="LoginForm" method="post">
Username <html:text property="username onchange="hello()"/>
Reply:
Password <html:password property="password"/>
<html:submit></html:submit>
        <html:reset></html:reset>
</html:form>

Step 3: create the Struts Form with name Loginform in the package com.dwr

package com.dwr;

import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;

public class LoginForm extends ActionForm {

        private String username;
        private String password;
       
        public String sayHello(String name)
    {
        return "Hello, you have entered the value: " + name;
    }

//Along getters and setters for username, password

Step 4: create the javascript code with the name login.js

function hello(){
var name = dwr.util.getValue("username");
  LoginForm.sayHello(name, function(data) {
    dwr.util.setValue("usernameReply", data);
  });
}

Step 5: create the dwr.xml with the following entries
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE dwr PUBLIC
    "-//GetAhead Limited//DTD Direct Web Remoting 2.0//EN"
    "http://getahead.org/dwr/dwr20.dtd">

<dwr>
  <allow>

    <convert converter="bean" match="com.dwr.LoginForm"/>
    <create creator="struts" javascript=" com.dwr.LoginForm">
       
      <include method="sayHello"/>
    </create>

</allow>
</dwr>

Step 6: Add the following entries in Struts-config.xml

<form-beans>
                <form-bean name="LoginForm" type="com.dwr.LoginForm"/>
</form-beans>

</action-mappings>
  <action path="/LoginForm" parameter=" Login.jsp"    type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"/>
</action-mappings>

But still I am getting errors in the creation of form bean.
Can anyone guide me for the integration of Struts with dwr while taking all steps to be followed.

Please read the action mapping as below:

</action-mappings>
  <action path="/LoginForm"  name="LoginForm" parameter=" Login.jsp"    type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"/>
</action-mappings>

But I am unable to get the class for LoginForm in my dwr
