Yeah, I pretty much checked everything that I can think off, including what you previously listed.
The following is what I have:
public class CatalogAction extends MultiAction {
private static final String SHOW_CATEGORY = "showCategory";
private CatalogService catalogService;
private CategoryService categoryService;
public CatalogAction () {
super();
}
public void setCatalogService (CatalogService catalogService) {
this.catalogService = catalogService;
}
public void setCategoryService (CategoryService categoryService) {
this.categoryService = categoryService;
}
// 1. If the eventId is showCategory
// a. Retrieve the category id from request
// b. Retrieve the category and its' subcategories
// c. Test whether this category has any products.
// 1. if so store within request context the category's subcategories and products and set eventId to showCategoriesAndProducts
// 2. else store the category's subcategories within the request context and set eventId to showOnlyCategories
public Event getCategory (RequestContext context) throws Exception {
if (context.getSourceEvent().getId().equals(SHOW_CATE GORY)) {
Long id = Long.valueOf(context.getSourceEvent().getParameter ("id").toString());
if (id != null) {
Category category = categoryService.getCategory(id);
}
}
return result("showOnlyCategories");
}
