Question

I wonder whether i can use 1 action to load data and update it?

It mean i have a page call about.jsp, manager will click a link to access this page. after redirect into this page, this page load content of about and update content if user edited data but two tasks can be use 1 action.

my i dea is, user use a action call AboutAction to load data to about.jsp page, after end user edited data on about.jsp and click submit, it will send data to AboutAction and update it?

Can i do that? and how?

First thing What you asked is one of the beauty of Struts2

xml :

<action name="AboutAction" class="AboutAction" method="load">
  <result>showMe.jsp</result>
  <result name="input">about.jsp</result>
</action>
<action name="AboutAction" class="AboutAction" method="update">
  <result>showMe.jsp</result>
  <result name="input">editsuccess.jsp</result>
</action>

Action :

  public String load(){
     //logic to load
    return SUCCESS;
  }

  public String update(){
     //logic to update
    return SUCCESS;
  }
