How to trigger the specific controller action using a button?
- by Eugene
I'm creating a simple training project. I've implemented a controller method, which deletes an item from the list. The method is looking like this:
@Controller
@RequestMapping(value = "/topic")
public class TopicController {
@Autowired
private TopicService service;
...
@RequestMapping(value = "/deleteComment/{commentId}", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String deleteComment(@PathVariable int commentId, BindingResult result, Model model){
Comment deletedComment = commentService.findCommentByID(commentId);
if (deletedComment != null) {
commentService.deleteComment(deletedComment);
}
return "refresh:";
}
}
This method is called from the button-tag, which is looking in the following way:
_form> _button formaction = "../deleteComment/1" formmethod = "post">delete_/button> _/form>
Sorry, but in the form tag I've changed all the '<' characters with the '_', because the tag was invisible. In my project the form-tag is looking like a cliuckable button. But there is a serious problem: controller's method is never triggered. How can I trigger it, using a button-tag?
P.S. the call is performed from the page with URI http://localhost:8080/simpleblog/topic/details/2 and controller's URI is the http://localhost:8080/simpleblog/topic/deleteComment/2
