I am using Struts 2 <s:checkbox /> in my form processing, along with AngularJS and jQuery. Before submitting, I need validation and until now we do this in the project:
When we press Submit button, this function is called:
$scope.processForm('myForm', '<s:url value="/form/validate.action" />', '<s:url value="/form/save.action" />');
,where processForm(formId, validateUrl, submitUrl) is a funtion defined by us:
$scope.processForm = function(form, validateUrl, submitUrl) {
window.scroll(0,0);
ProccessFormService.processStandarForm(form, validateUrl, submitUrl);
};
And furthermore, we have processStandarForm() defined in a global service:
angular.module('ourApp').controller('myFormCtrl', function($scope, $modal, ProccessFormService) {
...
}
In service:
(function() {
angular.module('ourApp').factory('ProccessFormService', ['$http', function($http) {
processStandarForm: function(form, validateUrl, submitUrl) {
this.processForm(form, validateUrl, submitUrl);
},
processForm: function(form, validateUrl, submitUrl, success) {
if ((typeof form) == 'string') {
form = document.getElementById(form);
}
var data = this.form2Object(form);
var ctrl = this;
if (data) {
if (validateUrl) {
$http({
method : 'POST',
url : validateUrl,
data : $.param(data), // pass in data as strings
headers : { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' } // set the headers so angular passing info as form data (not request payload)
}).success(function() {
if (!success) {
form.action = submitUrl;
form.submit();
} else {
ctrl.submitAjaxForm(submitUrl, data, success)
}
});
} else if (submitUrl) {
if (!success) {
form.action = submitUrl;
form.submit();
} else {
this.submitAjaxForm(submitUrl, data, success)
}
}
}
},
}
Basically, we are submitting twice the form, firstly for validation, then for submitting.
What I don't understand, is that if I debug in action class, in the function of validate(), the boolean value of <s:checkbox /> is always true, but in submit() function, boolean values are submitted correctly, according to they are checked/not checked. Checkboxs are like this:
<div class="col-sm-12 form-checkbox">
<s:checkbox name="myForm.married" ng-model="checkboxModel" value="<s:property value='%{myForm.married}'/>" ng-change="submitCheckbox();" ng-init="checkboxModel= %{myForm.married}" theme="simple" ng-disabled="anotherFunction()" />
</div>
I understand that, the value submitted is fieldValue="xxx" in <s:checkbox />, and by default is true. So I did this to change the fieldValue of every checkbox before the page is loaded. Although all the script are executed, nothing changed. I still get all true in validation.
$(document).ready(function(){
$( "input:checkbox" ).each(function(){
var checkbox = $(this);
var checked = checkbox.prop("checked");//sera false/true
if (checked == true){
checkbox.prop("fieldValue", "true");
} else {
checkbox.prop("fieldValue", "false");
}
});
});
So, how can I get right boolean values not only in submitting, but also in validation?? Is the Angular service wrongly written?? I really doubt that but I am not able to figure out the question. Please help and thanks.
