Problem: Struts provides
ActionMessages/ActionErrors |
classes for maintaining a stack of error message to be reported, which can be used with JSP tags like <html: error> to show these message to the user. The problem starts when you have to report different category/severity of message in a different manner. There are two aspects of this problem
category/Severity |
Struts
ActionErrors |
class comes very handy in resolving the first issue of stacking messages of different category. To throw error messages of different category use an interface to define all the different category of message like FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO etc. Then in the Action or
ActionForm |
class you can use
errors.add("Message.FATAL", new ActionError("....")); errors.add("Message.ERROR", new ActionError("....")); errors.add("Message.WARN", new ActionError("....")); errors.add("Message.INFO", new ActionError("....")); saveErrors(request,errors); |
Then in the JSP page you can recognize them by
<logic:messagePresent property="<%=Action.ERROR_KEY%>"> <html:messages property="<%=Action.ERROR_KEY%>" id="error"> showError('<bean:write name="error"/>'); // JavaScript Function </html:messages> </logic:messagePresent> |
