Struts2 Data Tags

8. Property Tag (Data Tag) Example

The property tag is a generic tag that is used to get the property of a value, which will default to the top of the stack if none is specified. Add the following code snippet into the struts.xml file.

struts.xml

<action name=”propertyTag”
class=”net.javajazzup.propertyTag”>
<result>/pages/dataTags/propertyTag.jsp
</result>
</action>

Create an action class as shown:

propertyTag.java

package net.javajazzup;
import
com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;
public class propertyTag extends
ActionSupport {
public String execute() throws Exception{
return SUCCESS;
}
}

Create a bean class “companyName” as shown:

companyName.java

package net.javajazzup;
public class companyName {
private String name;
public void setName(String name){
this.name =name ;
}
public String getName(){
return name;
}
}

 

Create a jsp using the tags.
<s:property value=”%{name}” /> it prints
the result of myBean’s getMyBeanProperty()
method.
<s:property value=”name” default=”Default
Value” /> it prints the result of
companyName’s getName() method and if it
is null, print ‘a default value’ instead.

propertyTag.jsp

<%@ taglib prefix=”s” uri=”/struts-tags” %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Property Tag Example</title>
