struts2 jquery tag select not loading data

Question

I am trying to use tag to render my list in Struts2 jsp.

At the same location I have used a tag as well

Data is getting populated

Answer 1

Solved.

May this be of some help to others,

All I had to do was change the web.xml as below:

 <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>
  <session-config>

Earlier I had set the filter as

  <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>*.action</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>
  <session-config>

So the struts2-jquery tag could not find the corresponding .js files

Solution: change from <url-pattern>*.action</url-pattern> to <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> Thus, please be sure to check the web.xml for such anomalies which often go overlooked as in my case.

You don't need to load jQuery twice, different versions might conflict with each other. This code is wrong

<script src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/jq/jquery-1.8.2.min.js"
    type="text/javascript"></script>

<script src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/jq/functions.js"
    type="text/javascript"></script>

The sj:select tag should work if your action returns JSON, but it uses old notation. Change it to

<s:url var="remoteurl" action="sample2"/> 
<sj:select 
    href="%{#remoteurl}" 
    id="echo" 
    name="echo" 
    list="languageList" 
    emptyOption="true" 
    headerKey="-1" 
    headerValue="Please Select a Language"
/> 

Check that jquery, json plugins are on the class path and taglibs worked.
