Struts Calling Action on page load

I am new to STRUTS and to this mailing list, so please be patient with me.

What I am trying, is to call an action on jsp load. I guess I need a javasript function which calls an action and 'onload' in my body.

function callAction{

... calling myAction.do

}

<body onload="callAction();" ... >

Can somebody help me with this issue?

thank you

Solution

  • You need to call your action like this if you want to navigate to another page,

    function callAction() {
    window.location = "navigation.do?parameter=showNavigation";
}

    else if you want to call the same page (without loading another page), you need to use ajax like this. Here i used jQuery ajax

    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js">
                                                                    </script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
    $.ajax({
        url : "navigation.do?parameter=showNavigation",
        type : "POST",
        success : function(data) {
            alert(data);
        }
    });
});
</script>

    Hope this helps.
