Class StrutsLinkTool
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable
The StrutsLinkTool extends the standard LinkTool
to add methods
for working with Struts' Actions and Forwards:
- translate logical names (Struts forwards, actions ) to URI references, see
methods
setAction(java.lang.String)
andsetForward(java.lang.String)
Template example(s): <a href="$link.action.update">update something</a> #set( $base = $link.forward.MyPage.anchor('view') ) <a href="$base.param('select','this')">view this</a> <a href="$base.param('select','that')">view that</a> Toolbox configuration: <tools> <toolbox scope="request"> <tool class="org.apache.velocity.tools.struts.StrutsLinkTool"/> </toolbox> </tools>
This tool may only be used in the request scope.

configure
Description copied from class:SafeConfig
Does the actual configuration. This is protected, so subclasses may share the same ValueParser and call configure at any time, while preventing templates from doing so when configure(Map) is locked. -
get
This exists to enable a simplified syntax for using this tool in a template. Now, users can do
$link.action.saveFoo
instead of$link.setAction('saveFoo')
and$link.forward.profile
instead of$link.setForward('profile')
. Neat, eh? :)- Since:
- VelocityTools 1.3
-
setAction
Returns a copy of the link with the given action name converted into a server-relative URI reference. This method does not check if the specified action really is defined. This method will overwrite any previous URI reference settings but will copy the query string.
- Parameters:
action
- an action path as defined in struts-config.xml- Returns:
- a new instance of StrutsLinkTool
-
setForward
Returns a copy of the link with the given global or local forward name converted into a server-relative URI reference. If the parameter does not map to an existing global forward name,
null
is returned. This method will overwrite any previous URI reference settings but will copy the query string.- Parameters:
forward
- a forward name as defined in struts-config.xml in either global-forwards or in the currently executing action mapping.- Returns:
- a new instance of StrutsLinkTool
