yes, somewhat (not xml, but json). i modified the rest showcase. in
particular, i modified, orders-editNew.jsp. i modified the form the
look like this:
<s:form method="post" action="%{#request.contextPath}/orders.json">
the original line was:
<s:form method="post" action="%{#request.contextPath}/orders">
i believe the place to return XML/JSON is in the method create().
// POST /orders
public HttpHeaders create() {
ordersService.save(model);
addActionMessage("New order created successfully");
return new DefaultHttpHeaders("success")
.setLocationId(model.getId());
}
this method returns a new HttpHeaders object signalling "success", and
in this showcase, "success" gets map back to index() which is GET
/orders (shows all the orders). but these are not response output (as
in request/response).
the struts2-rest-plugin tutorial goes to explain the mapping of GET,
POST, PUT, DELETE to default controller methods
(http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/rest-plugin.html). however, it is
not clear to me, what i can return for the method. in fact, it seems
that a result of type HttpHeaders or String can be returned (the
difference is explained, and very helpful).
when i used the struts2-json-plugin, all i remember doing was adding
@ParentPackage(value="json-default") to the action class + adding
@Action { ... @Result(...,type="json",params={"root","myPojo"}) } to
the method. automagically, myPojo was serialized to JSON.
i'm wondering if it's even possible to do the same with struts2 +
convention + rest ?
before using the struts2-json-plugin, my action would extend
ActionSupport and implement ServletRequestAware and
ServletResponseAware. i would then simply use ServletOutputStream to
write the JSON/XML stuff directly. it's not elegant, but i might
kludge an approach like this one.
