THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
...
If an action class implements the interface com.opensymphony.xwork2.ModelDriven then it needs to return an object from the getModel() method. Struts will then populate the fields of this object with the request parameters, and this object will be placed on top of the stack once the action is executed. Validation will also be performed on this model object, instead of the action. Please read about VisitorFieldValidator Annotation which can help you validate model's fields.
Interceptor
To use ModelDriven actions, make sure that the Model Driven Interceptor is applied to your action. This interceptor is part of the default interceptor stack defaultStack so it is applied to all actions by default.

Action class:
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
public class ModelDrivenAction implements ModelDriven {
public String execute() throws Exception {
return SUCCESS;
}
public Object getModel() {
return new Gangster();
}
}

Gangster class (model):
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|

public class Gangster implements Serializable {
private String name;
private int age;
private String description;
private boolean bustedBefore;
public int getAge() {
return age;
}
public void setAge(int age) {
this.age = age;
}
public boolean isBustedBefore() {
return bustedBefore;
}
public void setBustedBefore(boolean bustedBefore) {
this.bustedBefore = bustedBefore;
}
public String getDescription() {
return description;
}
public void setDescription(String description) {
this.description = description;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
