<form class = "col l12 s12">
<div class = "row">
<div class="input-field col l6 s6">
<input id="firstName" type="text" class="validate">
<label for="firstName">First Name</label>
</div>
</div>
</form>
I want to apply Struts2 on the above code to get the value of firstName. How should i do that?

In the above jsp code, i wish to get the field values and i want to be able to assign them to the following actionClass:
public class registerAction {
private String firstName, lastName, username;
public String execute(){
return "";
}
}
but i dont know how to apply the struts prefix to the jsp form which is using materialize css input fields.
Here is the code for struts.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.3//EN"
"http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.3.dtd">
<struts>
<constant name="struts.devMode" value="true"/>
<package name="helloWorld" extends="struts-default">
<action name="hello" class = "com.bugManager.registerAction" method="execute">
<result name="success">helloWorld.jsp</result>
</action>
</package>
</struts>
Ok, i did it on my own. If someone wants to use materializecss form tags in struts2 do the following:
1. Add this line into the struts.xml
<constant name="struts.ui.theme" value="simple" />
my updated and working struts.xml
<struts>
<constant name="struts.devMode" value="true"/>
<constant name="struts.ui.theme" value="simple" /> <!-- this is the line which helps in applying materializecss's styling to the form elements -->
<package name="com.bugManager" extends="struts-default">
<action name="register" class = "com.bugManager.registerAction" method="execute">
<result name="success">helloWorld.jsp</result>
</action>
</package>
</struts>
my helloWorld.jsp: (any redirection page, i made this page to test out if the values are being mapped and stored correctly)
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello World Strut</title>
</head>
<body>
Hello from <s:property value = "firstName"/> <s:property value = "lastName"/> <s:property value = "username"/> <s:property value = "password"/>
<s:property value="email"/>
</body>
</html>
2. Then change
Form tags
<form></form> to <s:form></s:form>
any text or email input tags to
<s:textfield />
password fields to
<s:password />
submit can remain the same.
Check out the example form code given below
<s:form class = "col l12 s12" action = "register">
<div class = "row">
<div class="input-field col l6 s6">
<s:textfield name = "firstName" id="firstName" type="text" class="validate"/>
<label for="firstName">First Name</label>
</div>
<div class="input-field col l6 s6">
<s:textfield name = "lastName" id="lastName" type="text" class="validate"/>
<label for="lastName">Last Name</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class = "row">
<div class="input-field col l12 s12">
<s:textfield name = "username" id="username" type="text" class="validate"/>
<label for="username">Username</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class = "row">
<div class="input-field col s6">
<s:password name = "password" id="password" type="password" class="validate"/>
<label for="password">Enter password</label>
</div>
<div class = 'input-field col s6'>
<s:password name = "password" id="repeatPassword" type="password" class="validate"/>
<label for="repeatPassword">Repeat password</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="input-field col s12">
<s:textfield name = "email" id="email" type="email"/>
<label for="email">Email</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class = "row formButtons">
<button class="btn waves-effect waves-light right submitButton purple accent-4" type="submit" name="submit">Submit</button>
<a href = 'index.jsp' class = 'btn waves-effect waves-dark right cancelButton purple accent-1'>Cancel</a>
</div>
</s:form>
Take a look at all the struts form tags here: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/struts_2/struts_form_tags.htm
I hope this helps everyone who is trying to implement materializecss in Struts2!
