    Hi,

    Not sure if the message on the contact form went through…

    First, wanted to say that you’ve done amazing work with the struts2jquery plugin.
    Second, wanted to ask how can I make it support UTF8…
    Let’s say I have an ajax button

    Using a label…and the label value is not on English..what can I do?
    Also data coming back in ajax is not displayed in UTF8.

    Thanks,
    Ron.

      UTF-8 has nothing to do with the plugin.

      add following code at the top of your JSP and your
      result should be in UTF-8 charcter set.

      < %@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

    Hi,

    I am using struts2 jQuery plugin in my web application. I am using your subscribe plugin for event subscription.I am facing an issue, the methods are subscribed multiple times. I have read the documentation as well as the code of the plugin,a variable “multiple” is being used to avoid the scenario. But i could not find a way to set this variable in order to prevent event to be subscribed multiple times with the same topic.

    Hi

    Strut2 JQuery Plugin 3.3.0 works like a charm on a Netbeans 6.9.1 project. And I am very happy with the same JQuery Grid Plugin it is fast and elegant. Thank you very much. I used both in a uni assignment.

    As Netbeans is the required platform for my project and I realized it does not give struts2 functionality (JSP not binding to session beans) though amazingly JQuery plugin works even without struts2 support. I loaded a struts 2 plugin from NB home.

    I don’t really know if you would be able to show any light on my issue that after Strut2 plugin installation the project will not run. Following error returned.

    org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The Struts dispatcher cannot be found. This is usually caused by using Struts tags without the associated filter.

    To get the project to work I need either one of plugins to remove it seems there have a version clash or something.

    Best Regards
    Tony

      Hi Tony,

      I never hered about trouble with Netbeans and any Struts2 Plugins.
      Which Struts2 Version do you use in your project? Is it a Maven Project?

    Hi Johannes,

    Thanks very much for your reply but I am sorry could not come to the site early as we were madly busy on the project.

    Netbeans v6.9.1 or v7.1.1 plain no Maven project used. Struts2 for Netbeans got working only after related plugin/s (2 versions 6.x, 7.x) were installed from Netbeans home. Using Glassfish 2.2 as application server.

    It appears the issue was extra 2 spaces in struts_plugin.xml contained in all 3 jar files (jquery, jason, jquery grid).
    I edited the jar files and removed these two spaces and all worked perfectly. The deployment error was quite descriptive but I am new to Java and got panic somehow worked it out :)).

    Thanks again.

    Best Regards
    Tony

    Hello,
    I was wondering if you help me to customize sj:submit.
    I want to modify sj:submit in order to dispatch each result returning from a struts action to a different sj:div.
    Many thanks,
    M.

    Hi, I am using the plugin in my struts2 plugin but I am stuck at one point. I am displaying all columns of a table in grid. The primary key is set to editable=”false”, but the rest of the columns are displayed with editable=”true”. When I am doing inline edit, I get this primary key. But when I am performing edit in modal form, the primary key is not posted to the server. Secondly, I have some columns which are initially hidden, but I need them to be displayed in the modal form. I tried specifying in the edit rules as hidden:false, editable:true. But it did not work.

    options_manufacturerName1700.emptyoption = true;
    options_manufacturerName1700.headerkey = “-1”;
    options_manufacturerName1700.headervalue = “Select Global Manufacturer”;

    Hi,
    I finally got basic the Struts2 Jquery tree with checkboxes working after lot of issues. Now my requirement is this :
    1. Jquery tree with checkboxes.
    2. checkbox for some nodes should be disabled.
    3. Irrespective of whether the node is disabled, I need a link to open a popup, at each node, to display additional information.
    4. when I click on this link, the corresponding checkbox should NOT get selected.
    5. if possible, need to be able to add comments for each node item, which can be saved to the database.

    Please could you let me know if this is possible and if yes, please guide me on how to go about this problem either usingStruts2-Jquery or plain jquery .

    Thank you,
    Radhika
