JSP support in WebWork is very easy: by default webworkThe default configuration (struts-default.xml) configures the Dispatcher Result as the default result (see Result Types). This means any , which works well with JavaServer Pages. Any JSP 1.2+ container can work with WebWork Struts 2 JSP tags immediately.

Getting Started

Because JSP support occurs through the Dispatcher Result, which is the default result type, you don't need to specify the type attribute when configuration xworkconfiguring struts.xml:

Code Block
xml
xml
<action name="test" class="com.acme.TestAction">
    <result name="success">test-success.jsp</result>
</action>

Then in test-success.jsp:

Code Block
xml
xml

<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>

<html>
<head>
    <title>Hello</title>
</head>
<body>

Hello, <ww<s:property value="name"/>

</body>
</html>

Where name is a property on your action. That's it!

Servlet / JSP Scoped Objects

The following are ways to obtain Application scope attributes, Session scope attributes, Request scope attributes, Request parameters and framework Context scope parameters:-

Application Scope Attribute

Assuming there's an attribute with name 'myApplicationAttribute' in the Application scope.

Code Block

<s:property value="%{#application.myApplicationAttribute}" />

Session Scope Attribute

Assuming there's an attribute with name 'mySessionAttribute' in the Session scope.

Code Block

<s:property value="%{#session.mySessionAttribute}" />

Request Scope Attribute

Assuming there's an attribute with name 'myRequestAttribute' in the Request scope.

Code Block

<s:property value="%{#request.myRequestAttribute}" />

Request Parameter

Assuming there's a request parameter myParameter (e.g. http://host/myApp/myAction.action?myParameter=one).

Code Block

<s:property value="%{#parameters.myParameter}" />

Context Scope Parameter

Assuming there's a parameter with the name myContextParam in our context.

Code Block

<s:property value="%{#myContextParam}" />

Tag Support

See the JSP Tags documentation for information on how to use the generic Struts Tags provided by WebWork. the framework.
