How to use DispatcherListener in Struts 2

问题

There is a interface DispatcherListener in Struts2. The docs says

"A interface to tag those that want to execute code on the init and destroy of a Dispatcher."

But how to use this interface. If I create a class that implements this interface, how should I configure it to Struts2?

回答1:

When a Dispatcher is instantiated, it could send to the listener notification when it's initialized or destroyed. The reference and code samples are from here.

The simple usage is to instantiate a bean by the container via bean tag and add themselves in the init method and remove themselves when destroyed like it did by the ClasspathConfigurationProvider.

The code is raw just for to show you the idea

struts.xml:

<bean type="com.opensymphony.xwork2.config.PackageProvider" name="myBean" class="jspbean.struts.MyBean" />

MyBean.java:

public class MyBean implements ConfigurationProvider, DispatcherListener {
  public MyBean() {
    System.out.println("!!! MyBean !!!");
  }

  @Override
  public void dispatcherInitialized(Dispatcher du) {
    System.out.println("!!! dispatcherInitialized !!!");
  }

  @Override
  public void dispatcherDestroyed(Dispatcher du) {
    System.out.println("!!! dispatcherDestroyed !!!");
  }

  @Override
  public void destroy() {
    System.out.println("!!! destroy !!!");
    Dispatcher.removeDispatcherListener(this);
  }

  @Override
  public void init(Configuration configuration) throws ConfigurationException {
    System.out.println("!!! init !!!");
    Dispatcher.addDispatcherListener(this);
  }

  @Override
  public boolean needsReload() {
    return false;
  }

  @Override
  public void loadPackages() throws ConfigurationException {

  }

  @Override
  public void register(ContainerBuilder builder, LocatableProperties props) throws ConfigurationException {

  }
}

The output:

15:27:50  INFO (org.apache.struts2.spring.StrutsSpringObjectFactory:42) - ... initialized Struts-Spring integration successfully
!!! MyBean !!!
!!! init !!!

回答2:

If you are using Spring then you can create bean of your listener and in constructor add it to dispatcherListeners list.

public YourDispatcherListener () {
  Dispatcher.addDispatcherListener(this);
}

Another solution is to create ServletContextListener which creates your dispatcher listener and adds it to list.
