JSP support in WebWork is very easy: by default action-default.xml configures the Dispatcher Result as the default result (see Result Types). This means any JSP 1.2+ container can work with WebWork 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 action.xml:
...
Where name is a property on your action. That's it!
Servlet / JSP Scoped Objects
The following are ways to obtained Application scope attributes, Session scope attributes, Request scope attributes, Request parameters and SAF framework Context scope parameters:-
Application Scope Attribute
Assuming there's an attribute with name 'myApplicationAttribute' in the Application scope.
Code Block |
---|
<saf:property value="%{#application.myApplicationAttribute}" /> |
Session Scope Attribute
Assuming there's an attribute with name 'mySessionAttribute' in the Session scope.
Code Block |
---|
<saf:property value="%{#session.mySessionAttribute}" /> |
Request Scope Attribute
Assuming there's an attribute with name 'myRequestAttribute' in the Request scope.
Code Block |
---|
<saf:property value="%{#request.myRequestAttribute}" /> |
Request Parameter
Assuming there's a request parameter myParameter (eg. http://host/myApp/myAction.action?myParameter=one).
Code Block |
---|
<saf:property value="%{#parameters.myParameter}" /> |
SAF Context Scope Parameter
Assuming there's a parameter with the name myContextParam in SAF context.
Code Block |
---|
<saf:property value="%{#myContextParam}" /> |
Tag Support
See the JSP Tags documentation for information on how to use the generic Tags provided by WebWorkthe framework.
Exposing the ValueStack
There are a couple of ways to obtain access to ValueStack from JSPs.
