Spring can be integrated into Struts actions to take advantage of seamless bean findings, here is how:
Step 1:
Create a BaseAction class and extend this class to create struts actions.
BaseAction.java (add spring-webmvc-struts.jar to web-inf/lib)
import org.springframework.web.struts.DispatchActionSupport;
public class BaseAction extends DispatchActionSupport {
protected Object getBean(String name) {
return getWebApplicationContext().getBean(name);
}
}
Step 2: Action class sample:
BalanceAction.java
public class BalanceAction extends BaseAction {
@Override
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception {
try {
BeanService handle = (BeanService)getBean("BeanName");
handle.businessMethod();
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Cannot find the bean...");
}
return mapping.findForward("success");
}
}
