I am using two tags.Both of them have same name, but different Id
<s:doubleselect id="countryId1" name="country" list="countriesMap.keySet()" doubleId="cityId1" doubleName="city" doubleList="countriesMap.get(top)" />
<s:doubleselect id="countryId2" name="country" list="countriesMap.keySet()" doubleId="cityId2" doubleName="city" doubleList="countriesMap.get(top)" />
In Action I tried to get
country String[] countryArray = ServletRequest.getParameterValues("country");
But I am getting countryArray = null
. I looked at the page code and found such situation
<select name="country" id="countryId1" onchange="countryId1Redirect(this.options.selectedIndex)">
<option value="USA">USA</option>
<option value="Germany">Germany</option>
</select>
I selected value USA, but there is no selected='selected'
property.
How can I put selected values from each <select name...
into Array?
To get a list of values from elements with the same name, create getters and setters matching the name; for example:
public class MyAction extends ActionSupport {
private List<String> countries;
private List<String> cities;
public String execute() {
if (getCountry() != null && getCity() != null) {
for (int i = 0; i < getCountry().size(); i++) {
System.out.println("country"+(i+1)+"="+getCountry().get(i));
System.out.println("city"+(i+1)+"="+getCity().get(i));
}
}
return SUCCESS;
}
// setCountry matches country
public void setCountry(List<String> countries) {
this.countries = countries;
}
public List<String> getCountry() {
return countries;
}
// setCity matches city
public void setCity(List<String> cities) {
this.cities = cities;
}
public List<String> getCity() {
return cities;
}
}
I believe you can use String[]
instead of List<String>
if you like.
I don't have a way to test this at the moment, but you can use the index property of the status variable to get the iteration index, possibly something like this:
<s:iterator value="country" status="stat">
<s:property /> <!-- the country -->
<br />
<s:property value="#city[#stat.index]" /> <!-- the city corresponding to the current country -->
<br />
<br />
</s:iterator>
