org.apache.struts2.components.URL

public class URL
extends ContextBean

This tag is used to create a URL.

You can use the <param> tag inside the body to provide additional request parameters. If the value of a param is an Array or an Iterable all the values will be added to the URL.

NOTE:

By default request parameters will be separated using escaped ampersands (i.e., &amp;). This is necessary for XHTML compliance, however, when using the URL generated by this tag with the <s:property> tag, the escapeAmp attribute should be used to disable ampersand escaping.

NOTE:

When includeParams is 'all' or 'get', the parameter defined in a <param> tag will take precedence over any params included due to the includeParams attribute. For example, in Example 3 below, if there is a id parameter in the url where the page this tag is included like http://<host>:<port>/<context>/editUser.action?id=3333&name=John the generated url will be http://<host>:<port>/<context>/editUser.action?id=22&name=John because the parameter defined in the param tag will take precedence.

• action (String) - (value or action choose either one, if both exist value takes precedence) action's name (alias)
• value (String) - (value or action choose either one, if both exist value takes precedence) the url itself
• scheme (String) - http scheme (http, https) defaults to the scheme this request is in
• namespace - action's namespace
• method (String) - action's method name, defaults to 'execute'
• encode (Boolean) - url encode the generated url. Defaults to 'true'.
• includeParams (String) - The includeParams attribute may have the value 'none', 'get' or 'all'. Defaults to 'none'. none - include no parameters in the URL (default) get - include only GET parameters in the URL all - include both GET and POST parameters in the URL
• includeContext (Boolean) - Specifies whether to include the web app context path. Defaults to 'true'.
• escapeAmp (Boolean) - Specifies whether to escape ampersand (&) to (&amp;) or not. Defaults to 'true'.
• portletMode (String) - The resulting portlet mode.
• windowState (String) - The resulting portlet window state.
• portletUrlType (String) - Specifies if this should be a portlet render or action URL.
• forceAddSchemeHostAndPort (Boolean) - Specifies whether to force the addition of scheme, host and port or not.

Examples

 

 <-- Example 1 -->
 <s:url value="editGadget.action">
     <s:param name="id" value="%{selected}" />
 </s:url>

 <-- Example 2 -->
 <s:url action="editGadget">
     <s:param name="id" value="%{selected}" />
 </s:url>

 <-- Example 3-->
 <s:url includeParams="get">
     <s:param name="id" value="%{'22'}" />
 </s:url>
