Struts2中的ModelDriven运用

一、在什么情况下需要使用ModelDriven

---

比如有以下User实体类

public class User {
    private int id;
    private String username;
    private String password;
    private int age;
    private String address;
    public String getUsername() {
       return username;
    }
    public void setUsername(String username) {
       this.username = username;
    }
    public String getPassword() {
       return password;
    }
    public void setPassword(String password) {
       this.password = password;
    }
    public int getAge() {
       return age;
    }
    public void setAge(int age) {
       this.age = age;
    }
    public String getAddress() {
       return address;
    }
    public void setAddress(String address) {
       this.address = address;
    }
    public int getId() {
       return id;
    }
    public void setId(int id) {
       this.id = id;
    }
} 

假如现在要实现添加User的功能，刚学strust2的时候我们都是现在action中定义相应属性的get、set方法以设置跟获取相应的值。但是这无疑十分麻烦，当属性十分多的时候，显得代码十分臃肿。
如下为UserAction

Class UserAction{
    private int id;
    private String username;
    private String password;
    private int age;
    private String address;
    public String getUsername() {
       return username;
    }
    public void setUsername(String username) {
       this.username = username;
    }
    public String getPassword() {
       return password;
    }
    public void setPassword(String password) {
       this.password = password;
    }
    public int getAge() {
       return age;
    }
    public void setAge(int age) {
       this.age = age;
    }
    public String getAddress() {
       return address;
    }
    public void setAddress(String address) {
       this.address = address;
    }
    public int getId() {
       return id;
    }
    public void setId(int id) {
       this.id = id;
    }

    public String add(){
        User user = new User();
        user.setId(id);
        user.setUsername(username);
        user.setPassword(password);
        user.setAge(age);
        user.setAddress(address);

        new UserManager().addUser(user);

        return "success";
    }
}

增加User用户的add.jsp页面

 <form action="test/user.action" method="post">
     <input type="hidden" name="method:add">
     username:<input type="text" name="username"> <br/>
     password:<input type="text" name="password"> <br/>
     age:<input type="text" name="age"> <br/>
     address:<input type="text" name="address"> <br/>
     <input type="submit" name="submit" value="添加用户">
 </form>

可以看到，在action类里面又要重复写一次在user实体类里面的get、set方法。

二、如何使用ModelDriven来减少action中不必要的get、set方法

public class UserAction implements ModelDriven{

    private User user;

    public Object getModel() {
       if(user == null){
           user = new User();
       }
       return user;
    }

    public String add(){

       new UserManager().addUser(user);

       return "success";
    }

    public User getUser() {
       return user;
    }

    public void setUser(User user) {
       this.user = user;
    }
}

这样就可以减少很多重复的代码
