Struts 2 datetimepicker Example

Struts » on Oct 25, 2011 { 17 Comments } By Sivateja

Let us see how to work with this datetimepicker in struts 2, actually no need to add any external jar files to work with this,  some of us may think we need to add some Ajax related jars bla bla…,  let me clear

jars required

  • commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
  • freemarker-2.3.8.jar
  • ognl-2.6.11.jar
  • struts2-core-2.0.11.jar
  • xwork-2.0.4.jar

Let us see one example, files required

  • index.jsp
  • success.jsp
  • web.xml
  • struts.xml
  • LogingEx.java

Directory Structure

index.jsp

<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>

  <head>
  <s:head theme="ajax" debug="true"/>
  </head>
  <body>

 <s:form action="resultAction">

 <s:datetimepicker label="Select From" name="toDate" displayFormat="MM-dd-yy" required="true" />
 <s:datetimepicker label="Select To" name="fromDate" displayFormat="MM-dd-yy" required="true" />
 <s:datetimepicker label="Select Other" name="otherDate" displayFormat="MM-dd-yy" required="true" />
 <s:submit value="Click" align="center" />

 </s:form>

 Entered to date:  <s:property value="toDate"/><br>
 Entered from date:  <s:property value="fromDate"/><br>
 Entered other date:  <s:property value="otherDate"/><br>

LogingEx.java

package java4s;
import java.util.Date;
public class LogingEx{
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    private Date toDate;
    private Date fromDate;
    private Date otherDate;

    public Date getToDate() {
        return toDate;
    }
    public void setToDate(Date toDate) {
        this.toDate = toDate;
    }

    public Date getFromDate() {
        return fromDate;
    }
    public void setFromDate(Date fromDate) {
        this.fromDate = fromDate;
    }

    public Date getOtherDate() {
        return otherDate;
    }
    public void setOtherDate(Date otherDate) {
        this.otherDate = otherDate;
    }

      public String execute(){
      return "success";
      }

    hi,
    i am using date picker in struts 2 . i have to print error message when one try to give from date is greater than to date.

  2. Java4s says:

    @Abhishek

    You can get this by using XML Validations.

    But i will prefer jQuery validations for these type of tasks 🙂 as easy and less time taking, try this too.

  3. Veera says:

    How to validate the datetimepisker in struts 2….? and How to store this value to database….? Whenever i try to validate using requiredstring and date then give any value in appropriate form, the value is null, mean the validation show “date is required”.Sometimes i try remove validation and store the value to database, the value is store successfully but not store appropriate value, whenever i try to store different value but always store “null”….Please help anyone…..

    Can the datepicker be used with tiles?

  5. nagappa says:

    @BETTER VALIDATIONS
    With Jquery we can only do client-side validations and using xml files we are doing server-side validations but is ia better do both validations as many people can edit html with firebug and can click on submit
