StrutsQuickStart4

Data editing and full-blown CRUD application

Now when we know how to view and delete an employee, let us add the missing parts: creation, update and saving of modified employee data.

The EmployeeAction class handles "create", "view", "edit", "duplicate", "save", "delete" and "close" events, this is how it is configured:

{{{<action path = "/employeesListCRUD"

• type = "actions.EmployeesListAction">

• <forward name = "render" path = "/jspstruts4/employees.jsp"/>

</action>

<action path = "/employeeActionCRUD"

• type = "actions.EmployeeAction" name = "crudform" scope = "request" validate = "false" parameter = "create,view,edit,duplicate,save=validateAndSave,delete,close">

• <forward name = "renderedit" path = "/jspstruts4/employee-edit.jsp"/> <forward name = "renderpreview" path = "/jspstruts4/employee-view.jsp"/> <forward name = "finished" path = "/employeesListCRUD.do" redirect = "true"/>

</action>}}}
