Question

How do I insert an OGNL variable into a Jquery/Javascript statement?

Within a .jsp I have;

$.subscribe("selectRow", function(event,data) {         
    $("#DetailsDiv")
        .html("Loading ...")
        .load("edit-service-definition-input","functionId=" + %{functionId} + "&serviceId=" + event.originalEvent.id);
});

where the backing action has a getter and setter for the attribute functionId. However, when this function is called, "%{functionId}" is passed as a string rather than the value of getFunctionId()

OGNL can only be evaluated by Struts2 tags, not free-form in a JSP like JSP EL. So, change %{functionId} to:

${functionId}

or:

<s:property value="%{functionId}"/>
