Example 14 36. Action that retrieves XML data from an action form (continued)

import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;

import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;

import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;

import com.oroad.stxx.action.Action;

import com.oroad.stxx.xform.JDOMForm;

public class SaveUserAction extends Action {

    public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,

                                 ActionForm form,

                                 HttpServletRequest request,

                                 HttpServletResponse response)

            throws Exception {

        List usersList = (List) getServlet().getServletContext( ).getAttribute("users");

        JDOMForm jdomForm = (JDOMForm) form;

        String firstName = jdomForm.getValue("/user/name/firstname");

        String lastName  = jdomForm.getValue("/user/name/lastname");

        String email     = jdomForm.getValue("/user/email");

        usersList.add(new User(firstName, lastName, email));

        return mapping.findForward("success");

    }

}

The sample application shown in this recipe represents a fraction of the capabilities

of STXX. STXX supports validation, XForms, SOAP, FOP, and Velocity just to name

a few. If you have a site that relies heavily on XML based data, and needs to render

that data in a number of formats, STXX may be what you need.

full functionality of STXX.

The StrutsCX project (http://it.cappuccinonet.com/strutscx) is another popular Struts 

XSL integration framework.
