Java Forum / General / April 2007how to iterate through a map in struts
hi, i am confused about iterating through a map in struts. i hav a form bean LoginForm.and a getter mathod getID(),which returns the values of a map if passed the key as parameter....my code.. /*public String getId(String key) { return (String)mapelements(key); } public Object mapelements(String key) { Map x=new HashMap(); x.put("1","vaisahk"); x.put("2","jovin"); x.put("3","praveen"); x.put("4","subhash"); return x.get(key); } */ now i want to print this in the jsp page where i am fowarding from here.. this is my action code.. LoginForm obj=(LoginForm)form; sess=obj.getUser(); HttpSession session=req.getSession(); session.setAttribute("usersession",form); and in the forwarded jsp page i want to print the values of the map.... please help.... > "vyshu" <vysh...@gmail.com> wrote: > i hav a form bean LoginForm.and a getter mathod getID(),which returns [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > and in the forwarded jsp page i want to print the values of the > map.... Why not set the 'id' in the session scope rather than setting the entire form? > HttpSession session=req.getSession(); > session.setAttribute("usersession",form); Instead of the above try this session.setAttribute("userId",form.getId(key)); In jsp, use JSTL to get the Id like this ${userId} Would this make it simpler? By the way to access mapelements() method you would need to provide a getter method. -- Ck http://www.gfour.net hi, thank you for your reply...but i am very new to struts for understanding the exact thing..... i will try to explain you what i hav understood so far.. from the bigining....... in the application what i am trying to build...there is be a login form which accepts the user id and password....i hav written the formbean...its LoginForm which has the setter and getter methods of the form properties.... now i want to extract customer id's from the database and display it in the next jsp page.... for that actually i was trying with the demo values....... if in the same LoginForm i assign the getter method for the map will it give any errors.....lots of confusions!!!!!!! it would be really helpful if u can explain me the entire stuff from assigning the values to the map....writing the getter and setter methods...and displaying it in the form using..a select option!!.... .......plz help.. > hi, > thank you for your reply...but i am very new to struts for [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > methods...and displaying it in the form using..a select option!!.... > .......plz help.. and on the process i was just trying to just display the values on the jsp page... i just declared a getId() method in the LoginForm which returns a string value if passed the key..... assigned the complete bean to a session...and callled in the jsp page....... for(int i=1;i<3;i++) { String nam="id("+i+")";%> <html:text name="usersession" property="<%=nam%>"/> <%}%> it displayed can i do something similar in the other case also,where i want the data's inside a select........ .......................?????????? thanks, vysh >> hi, >> thank you for your reply...but i am very new to struts for [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > thanks, > vysh Just a side note, not to answer your particular question but to help you get better answers and help everyone else to better understand your questions. When you post in English there are grammar rules (conventions) to make the post more readable. A sentence begins with an upper-case letter and ends with a single period, not a series of ellipses. More than one question mark or exclamation point in a row is redundant. The word "I" is spelled with an upper-case letter. The word "you" is spelled with three letters. The word "please" does not have a "z" in it and is spelled with six letters. There should be two spaces between sentences. When you post code it should be indented similarly to the Sun Java coding conventions. It also helps to post an SSCCE. The way you posted your messages the sentences are all run together; there is no white space or change of letter case to aid readability.

I will definitly try to make my questions more readable in future. Thankyou for your suggestions. thanks, vysh > hi, > i am confused about iterating through a map in struts.

Here's an example using Struts tags. <bean:define name="myRequestScopedBean" property="theMap" id="myMap"/> <logic:iterate id="mapEntry" name="myMap" > <bean:write name="mapEntry" property="key"/> <bean:write name="mapEntry" property="value"/> </logic:iterate> > > hi, > > i am confused about iterating through a map in struts. [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > > - Show quoted text - hi, Thank you for your suggestions.but i have some questions. <bean:define name="myRequestScopedBean" property="theMap" id="myMap"/> here we are defining the bean in request scope and the map name,which is there inside it..am i right? <logic:iterate id="mapEntry" name="myMap" > here what is this "myMap"? is it just the id of the myRequestScopedbean? > <bean:write name="mapEntry" property="key"/> <bean:write here mapEntry points to the id of the iterate tag....but what is the property key?, and also what is the value of the next line. my doubt is that,do we have to write the getter methods for "theMap","key","value"... can you please give me the methods of the form bean.... thanks, vysh. > > > hi, > > > i am confused about iterating through a map in struts. [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] > here we are defining the bean in request scope and the map name,which > is there inside it..am i right? Actually we are finding the bean in request scope. If it's not there,an exception will be thrown. The bean (form bean or whatever) has a property named "theMap" which is a java.util.Map with id="myMap" we are just giving this map a local (to the jsp) name so we can refer to it later in the logic:iterate tag > <logic:iterate id="mapEntry" name="myMap" > > here what is this "myMap"? is it just the id of the > myRequestScopedbean? not the id of myRequestScopedBean, but the id of the Map contained in myRequestScopedBean. > > <bean:write name="mapEntry" property="key"/> <bean:write > here mapEntry points to the id of the iterate tag....but what is the [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > thanks, > vysh. if theMap is a java.util.Map, the Struts tag will take care of accessing the keys and values of the Map for you. You must literally use property="key" and property="value". You do not have to write any getters and setters other than those in the form bean for "theMap". These will be in standard bean format - getTheMap and setTheMap. > > > "vyshu" <vysh...@gmail.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 77 lines] > > - Show quoted text - thanks. but for the methods getTheMap and setTheMap what shoul be the parameter and the return values. public Map getTheMap() { return this.theMap; } public void setTheMap(Map newMap) { this.theMap=newMap; } is it so?. thanks, vysh Cheers!!!!!!!!!!! i got it!!!! Thank you so much for helping me. vysh. > > hi, > > i am confused about iterating through a map in struts. [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > name="mapEntry" property="value"/> > </logic:iterate> Vyshu, Just elaborating above example for better understanding. <bean:define name="myRequestScopedBean" property="theMap" id="myMap"/> 1. myRequestScopedBean- is the bean class(DTO/VO's) in which you will be decalaring your HashMap as property. 2. theMap- is the name of HashMap, like private HashMap theMap in the bean class, which you will be populating in Action/impl classes. 3. myMap- is just a reference variable with which this HashMap will be refered within this scope. <logic:iterate id="mapEntry" name="myMap" > Now as you have hashmap reference so you iterate over it, giving it a id for next scope in which you loop/iterated within the entry and get its keys and values printed out. -Chandan > > "vyshu" <vysh...@gmail.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 59 lines] > > - Show quoted text - hi, thanks, ok,i will try to explain what i understood. In my form bean itself i will declare the HashMap. //***************************************************** public class LoginForm extends ActionForm { private HashMap themap; } //********************************** Now let me assign the entire form to a request scope in my Action class. ActionForm form; LoginForm object=(LoginForm)form; request.setAttribute("myRequestScopedBean",form); //********************************************** Now can you explain what and all getter methods i need for acessing the values of the map, and also where to write it. and I want to display the values of the map as the options of a select tag!.. waiting for your reply. thanks, vysh. > > hi, > > i am confused about iterating through a map in struts. [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > > - Show quoted text - hi, now when i am trying with the same code what you have given,its throwing an exception "Cannot find bean: "mapEntry" in any scope".why it is so? thanks, vysh.
