are there requirements for Struts setters beyond variable name matching?
- by slk
I have a model-driven Struts Web action:
public class ModelDrivenAction<T extends Object> implements ModelDriven<T>, Preparable {
protected Long id;
protected T model;
@Override
public void prepare() {}
public void setId(Long id) { this.id = id; }
@Override
public T getModel() { return model; }
public void setModel(T model) { this.model = model; }
}
I have another action which is not currently model-driven:
public class OtherAction implements Preparable {
private ModelObj modelObj;
private Long modelId;
@Override
public void prepare() { modelObj = repoService.retrieveModelById(modelId); }
public void setModelId(Long modelId) { this.modelId = modelId; }
}
I wish to make it so, and would like to avoid having to track down all the instances in JavaScript where the action is passed a "modelId" parameter instead of "id" if at all possible. I thought this might work, so either modelId or id could be passed in:
public class OtherAction extends ModelDrivenAction<ModelObj> {
@Override
public void prepare() { model = repoService.retrieveModelById(id); }
public void setModelId(Long modelId) { this.id = modelId; }
}
However, server/path/to/other!method?modelId=123 is failing to set id. I thought so long as a setter matched a parameter name the Struts interceptor would call it on action invocation. Am I missing something here?
