What is the best way to trigger multiple actions from a single form in Struts 1?

Seeking assistance on how to call multiple actions from a single JSP without using ajax. I have attempted various methods, but they don't meet the standards. Can you provide guidance on calling multiple actions without ajax?

<html:form action="inspathNew" name="personInsuranceForm" method="post" scope="request">
    <a id="addPatientButton" class="ovalbutton" href="javascript:void(0);"> 
      <span>
          <html:button property="addPatient" onclick="javascript:AddPatient();" /> 
     </span>
    </a> 
  </html>

function AddPatient() {
    var jobIdVal = document.forms[0].jobId.value;
    var batchId = document.forms[0].batchId.value;
    var batchCode = document.forms[0].batchCode.value;
    var batchCount = document.forms[0].batchCount.value;
    var epiCount = document.forms[0].epiCount.value;
    var docNum = document.forms[0].docNum.value;
    var entryDate = document.forms[0].entryDate.value;
    var admitDate = document.forms[0].admitDate.value;
    var disDate = document.forms[0].disDate.value;
    var epiMode = document.forms[0].epiMode.value;
    var episodeId = document.forms[0].episodeIdVal.value;
    var epiCntVal = document.forms[0].epiCntVal.value;
    var epiDRN = document.forms[0].epiDRN.value;
    var batchScanStatus = document.forms[0].batchScanStatus.value;
    // bug #1569
    var patLastName = document.forms[0].plname.value.toUpperCase();
    var patFirstName = document.forms[0].pfname.value.toUpperCase();
    var patSSN = document.forms[0].pssn.value;
    var PatMrn = document.forms[0].mrn.value;
    //bug 2304 c#90
<%  String emrEpisodeId = request.getParameter("emrEpisodeId");
    if (emrEpisodeId != null && emrEpisodeId.length() > 0) {%>
        // to create new person from emrEpisode detail
        window.location.href = "<%=request.getContextPath()%>/action/personInfoNew?action=<%=com.abc.dataentry.person.action.PersonAction.ACTION_CREATE_PERSON_FROM_EMR%>&<%=com.abc.dataentry.person.action.PersonAction.PARAM_EMR_EPISODE_ID%>=" + <%=emrEpisodeId%> + "&<%=com.abc.dataentry.person.action.PersonAction.PARAM_JOB_ID%>="+ document.forms[0]['jobId'].value+"&patFirstName="+patFirstName+"&patLastName="+patLastName+"&patSSN="+patSSN;
<%  } else {%> 
        var url = "<%=request.getContextPath()%>/action/personInfoNew?action=newPatient&episodeId=<%=request.getParameter("episodeId")%>&name=<%=request.getParameter("name")%>&patientId=<%=request.getParameter("patientId")%>&jobId="+jobIdVal+"&batchId="+batchId+"&batchCode="+batchCode+"&batchCount="+batchCount+"&epiCount="+epiCount+"&epiMode="+epiMode+"&episodeIdVal="+episodeId+"&epiCntVal="+epiCntVal;
        //bug # 2598 - view only person info
        var viewMode = "<%=IConstants.PARAM_VIEWMODE%>=<%=IConstants.MODE_VIEWONLY%>";
        if(${showPageEditableMode}){
            viewMode = "<%=IConstants.PARAM_VIEWMODE%>=<%=IConstants.MODE_EDITABLE%>";
        }
        window.location.href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/action/personInfoNew?"+viewMode+"&action=newPatient&episodeId=<%=request.getParameter("episodeId")%>&name=<%=request.getParameter("name")%>&patientId=<%=request.getParameter("patientId")%>&jobId="+jobIdVal+"&batchId="+batchId+"&batchCode="+batchCode+"&batchCount="+batchCount+"&epiCount="+epiCount+"&docNum="+docNum+"&entryDate="+entryDate+"&admitDate="+admitDate+"&disDate="+disDate+"&epiMode="+epiMode+"&episodeIdVal="+episodeId+"&epiCntVal="+epiCntVal+"&batchScanStatus="+batchScanStatus+"&epiDRN="+epiDRN+"&patFirstName="+patFirstName+"&patLastName="+patLastName+"&patSSN="+patSSN+"&mrnValue="+PatMrn;
<%  }%>
}

Additionally, looking for information on how to call another action using windows.href.

NOTE: Parameters should be passed through URL. Please advise accordingly.

Answer №1

There's a better way to handle this situation because web browsers don't work like that.

If you attempt a form submission and then leave the page, the outcome is uncertain; the submission may have begun or not at all.

This seems to be more of an XY problem: what is your ultimate goal?

If you simply want to go through the processing steps of multiple actions upon form submission, it is advisable to extract the logic from the actions themselves and create a new endpoint that calls the logic for each action.

In the provided code snippet, it appears that you are not calling two actions but rather one depending on the presence of an episode ID, making the question unclear.

On a separate note, avoid cramming too much logic into the view layer as it can lead to issues, especially in a legacy system with outdated frameworks and code style/naming conventions.

To avoid future complications, consider breaking up JSPs to extract business logic, utilizing different JSPs and templates for various use-cases, implementing API/JSON endpoints on the backend, incorporating Ajax or components like React or Vue.
