Hi there!
Thanks for a swift reply.
Actually, re-defining the root is what I applied as a work-around.
So in my struts.xml I have this (to fix setting the parameters on the
action):
<interceptor-ref name="json">
<param name="root">action</param>
</interceptor-ref>
and also for each json action type I have this (to set the action fields
for json response) :
<result type="json">
<param name="root">action</param>
</result>
Note, I'm using 'action' as the root. I found this in the code:
http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.apache.struts.xwork/xwork-core/2.3.16.3/com/opensymphony/xwork2/DefaultActionInvocation.java?av=f
see code for
public void
<http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.apache.struts.xwork/xwork-core/2.3.16.3/com/opensymphony/xwork2/DefaultActionInvocation.java?av=f#>init
<http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.apache.struts.xwork/xwork-core/2.3.16.3/com/opensymphony/xwork2/ActionInvocation.java#ActionInvocation.init%28com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionProxy%29>(ActionProxy
<http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.apache.struts.xwork/xwork-core/2.3.16.3/com/opensymphony/xwork2/ActionProxy.java#ActionProxy>
proxy) method, line 401:
if (pushAction) {
stack.push(action);
contextMap.put("action", action);
}
As you can see, the "action" key is hard coded and specified nowhere in the
official struts 2 doc. So it's kind of dangerous to rely on this key, since
it might change in the future without notification.
Is there a cleaner way to redefine the root, as you've suggested?
Thanks!
