Struts 2 Push Tag pushes the values to top of the stack. Once the push tag pushes the values, then those fields can be easily accessed without the bean references. Lets see the below example for how to use the push tag.
1. Action Class and Bean
Struts2HelloWorldAction.java
package javabeat.net.struts2;
public class Struts2HelloWorldAction {
private String userName;
public String getUserName() {
return userName;
}
public void setUserName(String userName) {
this.userName = userName;
}
public String execute(){
return "success";
}
}
UserDetails.java
package javabeat.net.struts2;
public class UserDetails {
private String name;
private String city;
public UserDetails(){}
public UserDetails(String... args){
this.name = args[0];
this.city = args[1];
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getCity() {
return city;
}
public void setCity(String city) {
this.city = city;
}
}
