Struts里的Html:Cancel标签是在Form中经常运用的一个标签,主要功能就是cancel当前Form,一般写法如下: =========================== <html:cancel> <bean:message key="createuser.cancelbutton"/> </html:cancel> =========================== 这个标签将生成如下的HTML代码: <input type="submit" name="org.apache.struts.taglib.html.CANCEL" value="返回" onclick="bCancel=true;"> bCancel=true是一段javascript,bCancel是在使用Struts的Validator时,Struts自动为我们加的一段Javascript代码里的一个变量 这段Javascript简略摘要如下: =========================== <script type="text/javascript" language="Javascript1.1"> <!-- Begin var bCancel = false; function validateCreateUserForm(form) { if (bCancel) return true; else return validateMaxLength(form) && validateRequired(form) && validateMinLength(form); } =========================== 由上可以看到,这个bCancel=true时,Javascript将自动将表单提交(return true),也就是说,假如我们在后台Action的代码里没有对这个Cancel动作写特定代码的话,这个Cancel标签产生的效果和submit按钮产生的动作完全一致!!(因为这个按钮的type也等于submit)这一点需要非常的注重!所以,一般来说,我们在Action类的execute方法里面会加上如下的一段代码来处理这个Cancel动作: =========================== // Was this transaction cancelled? if (isCancelled(request)) { return (mapping.findForward("createusersUCcess")); } =========================== 有了以上的代码,Cancel动作就有了相应的处理代码,转到相关的页面了。本来事情已经解决,但本着对Struts源码研究的精神,我们还需要对以上代码研究一下 OK,让我们来看一下isCancelled这个方法在什么地方被定义了,内容是什么? 首先发现,这个方法被定义在Action类里面,代码如下: =========================== /** * <p>Returns <code>true</code> if the current form's cancel button was * pressed. This method will check if the <code>Globals.CANCEL_KEY</code> * request attribute has been set, which normally occurs if the cancel * button generated by <strong>CancelTag</strong> was pressed by the user * in the current request. If <code>true</code>, validation performed * by an <strong>ActionForm</strong>'s <code>validate()</code> method * will have been skipped by the controller servlet.</p> * * @param request The servlet request we are processing * @see org.apache.struts.taglib.html.CancelTag */ protected boolean isCancelled(HttpServletRequest request) { return (request.getAttribute(Globals.CANCEL_KEY) != null); } =========================== 原来是在request对象中查找Globals.CANCEL_KEY这个key值是否绑定了一个对象,假如是,那么就代表按下Cancel按钮后, Struts会在request对象中绑定一个对象,并以这个key值来命名那Struts是在什么地方绑定了这个对象呢?很自然的,让我们从头找起从ActionServlet的process方法开始找起,历经多次方法调用,终于找到了根源,原来是在RequestProcessor.java中,代码如下: =========================== /** * <p>Process an <code>HttpServletRequest</code> and create the * corresponding <code>HttpServletResponse</code>.</p> * * @param request The servlet request we are processing * @param response The servlet response we are creating * * @exception IOException if an input/output error occurs * @exception ServletException if a processing exception occurs */ public void process(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException { //省略代码若干 // Process any ActionForm bean related to this request ActionForm form = processActionForm(request, response, mapping); //答案就在这个processPopulate方法中 processPopulate(request, response, form, mapping); if (!processValidate(request, response, form, mapping)) { return; } /** * Populate the properties of the specified ActionForm instance from * the request parameters included with this request. In addition, * request attribute <code>Globals.CANCEL_KEY</code> will be set if * the request was submitted with a button created by * <code>CancelTag</code>. * * @param request The servlet request we are processing * @param response The servlet response we are creating * @param form The ActionForm instance we are populating * @param mapping The ActionMapping we are using * * @exception ServletException if thrown by RequestUtils.populate() */ protected void processPopulate(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, ActionForm form, ActionMapping mapping) throws ServletException { if (form == null) { return; } // Populate the bean properties of this ActionForm instance if (log.isDebugEnabled()) { log.debug(" Populating bean properties from this request"); } form.setServlet(this.servlet); form.reset(mapping, request); if (mapping.getMultipartClass() != null) { request.setAttribute(Globals.MULTIPART_KEY, mapping.getMultipartClass()); } RequestUtils.populate(form, mapping.getPrefix(), mapping.getSuffix(), request); // Set the cancellation request attribute if appropriate if ((request.getParameter(Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY) != null) (request.getParameter(Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY_X) != null)) { request.setAttribute(Globals.CANCEL_KEY, Boolean.TRUE); } } =========================== OK,看最后几行代码,Struts从request中取得Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY这个参数,假如这个参数不为空,那么他就将TRUE这个对象以Globals.CANCEL_KEY为key值,放到了request对象中至于这个Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY这个值是什么,现在都可以猜到了,显然就是html:Cancel这个标签生成的HTML代码中,Cancel这个按钮的名称嘛!查了一下,果然是: <input type="submit" name="org.apache.struts.taglib.html.CANCEL" value="返回" onclick="bCancel=true;"> 而Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY这个值就是org.apache.struts.taglib.html.CANCEL
