#{jsAction} Tag to support the object binding

[Ma Fai (gmail.com)]

The #{jsAction} tag is work well. If the controller method bind multi
basic object like String, Integer.

But it do not work for the object binding.

Controller
[code]

public static void save(Dummy dummy)

[/code]

View Template
[code]

#{jsAction @Dummies.save(':dummy.name', ':dummy.pwd')/}

[/code]

Then I have to create another method

Controller
[code]
public static void save(String name, String pwd)
Dummy dummy = new Dummy(name, pwd);
[/code]

It's somewhat boring, if the object have a lot of attributes. Any best
practice to handle this case?
I also found that, the id of the '<input type='text' ...' is not
allowed in HTML.
May be that's the reason for jsAction tag limitation.

I guess that your save() action is called with a POST Ajax request? If
so you don't have to pass all values into the URL path. You can add
them to the request body.

Hi Guillaume:

Yes, I use the post method. Nearly same like the play framework
example.
Only the load method change to ajax.post

[code]
var listAction = #{jsAction @list(':search', ':size', ':page') /}
$('#result').load(listAction({search: 'x', size: '10', page: '1'}),
function()

[/code]

Sorry, I can not understand 'add them to the request body' meaning.
May you give me some hints?

Thanks again.

The #jsAction will generate the URL to post the request to (path +
queryString). But a POST request also has a body.

Typically with jQuery you will make the POST call this way:

var postURL = #{jsAction @Dummies.save() /}
$.post(postURL(), { name: "John", time: "2pm" } );

Thanks. I got your point.

But it raise another issue.

Because, the name of the input has be 'person.name'. I try to use
'person\\.name' or 'person\.name'. Both of them do not work in JQuery.
The normal 'person.name' also caused the javascript error.

$.post(postURL(), { person.name: "John", person.time: "2pm" } );

Try with:

{"person.name":"John", "person.time": "2pm"}
