Second example about loading second selectbox by reloadTopic does not work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create one selectbox that would be fired by some publisher

<sj:select id="secondSelect" reloadTopics="firstSelectChanged"
src="secondSelect.action"/>

"Fired when firstSelectChanged is pulished"

2. Debug actions to see if src is being called. Mine is not. It's calling
the page action, not the src parameter action.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: right action called and select box filled with options
See: First Page Action called and no select box filled

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
struts2-jquery-plugin 1.0.3
Firefox 3.5
struts 2.1.6
java 1.6.13

Please provide any additional information below.

Another example with problems:

1. Same as before.

2. Create a method in first action to answer type text/html to send an json
string: {"key":"value"}

3. select box is filled with just one line with the string (Expected: many
options in select box)

I've fixed some problems associated with this sample.
- I've updated the sample on the home page to include the 'elementId' attribute 
on
the secondSelect (required to submit the firstSelect's value) and i've added the
'name' attribute to the first select (required to submit the name/value request
parameter for the first select).
-I've also updated the source and downloads (new version 1.0.3.1) to fix an 
issue in
which the SelectTag was not rendering the elementId attribute properly although 
I'm
not sure if that's what you were running into.

I'm can't find any issues with the json string filling the select boxes. are 
you sure
you're retuning a proper json object string. I'm using the json result 
available in
the struts2-json-plugin. My action config for the select box src actions looks
something like:

{{{
         <action name="firstSelect" class="com.apposit.blank.control.SelectAction"> 
            <result type="json" name="success">
                <param name="root">firstSelectList</param>
            </result>
            <result type="httpheader" name="error">
                <param name="error">500</param>
                <param name="errorMessage">${message}</param>
            </result>
         </action>

        <action name="secondSelect" class="com.apposit.blank.control.SelectAction" > 
            <result type="json" name="success">
                <param name="root">secondSelectList</param>
            </result>
            <result type="httpheader" name="error">
                <param name="error">500</param>
                <param name="errorMessage">${message}</param>
            </result>
         </action>
}}}

For my tester sample, 'firstSelectList' and 'secondSelectList' are simple
List<Integer> fields of the SelectAction. The SelectAction action also declares 
a
'firstSelect' with setter to receive the updated value of the first select field
(used to determine new list value for second select box).

The jsp page code looks like this:

<div> 
         First Select:<sj:select id="firstSelect" name="firstSelect"
onChangeTopics="firstSelectChanged" src="firstSelect.action"/>
        </div>
        <div>
         Second Select:<sj:select id="secondSelect" reloadTopics="firstSelectChanged"
src="secondSelect.action" elementIds="firstSelect"/>
        </div>

If you're still having problems perhaps you could send me some sample code or I 
could
send you a simple sample I'm using...

Found the solution, here is the code:

public class SelectAction {

    private Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
    private String firstSelect;

    public Map<String, String> getMap() {
        return map;
    }
    public void setMap(Map<String, String> value){
        map = value;
    }   
    public void setFirstSelect(String firstSelect) {
        this.firstSelect = firstSelect;
    }

        public String getFirstSelect(){
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            map.put(String.valueOf(i), String.valueOf(i));
        }
        return Action.SUCCESS;
    }

    public String getSecondSelect(){
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            map.put(String.valueOf(i), firstSelect + " - " + String.valueOf(i));
        }
        return Action.SUCCESS;
    }
}

Hi, 

I have problems to adapt this sample to my code. Here is what I'd like to do :
http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/1560b8227e55521e#

My struts.xml file doesn't accept this syntax :

<action name="firstSelect" class="com.apposit.blank.control.SelectAction"> 
            <result type="json" name="success">
                <param name="root">firstSelectList</param>
            </result>
            <result type="httpheader" name="error">
                <param name="error">500</param>
                <param name="errorMessage">${message}</param>
            </result>
         </action>

An idea on how to proceed ?
