Ajax虽是“旧酒装新瓶”，但其威力着实不小。近两年来可谓红透半边天，它之所以能为大众接受，其中一个很大的原因就是提高了用户浏览体验，能更逼真的模拟出GUI界面。好了，Ajax的益处就说到这里，下面让我们看下Grails是如何帮助我们方便地应用Ajax的:
如果您对下面说设计的内容有点不解，那么您可以先看一下 Groovy轻松入门——Grails实战基础篇，然后开始我们的Ajax之旅。
1, 在命令行中输入：“grails create-app AjaxDemo”（注意：不带引号“”）创建一个Grails project，我将它命名为AjaxDemo：

2，“cd AjaxDemo”，进入AjaxDemo目录，输入“grails create-domain-class User”，创建一个域类User：
D:\Temp\grails_apps\AjaxDemo>grails create-domain-class UserWelcome to Grails 0.5 - http://grails.org/

4，修改AjaxDemo\grails-app\controllers\UserController.groovy的内容为：
class UserController {
def index = { redirect(action:list,params:params) }// the delete, save and update actions only
// accept POST requests
def allowedMethods = [delete: ' POST ' ,
save: ' POST ' ,
update: ' POST ' ] def list = {
if ( ! params.max)params.max = 10
[ userList: User.list( params ) ]
} def show = {
[ user : User.get( params.id ) ]
} def delete = {
def user = User.get( params.id )
if (user) {
user.delete()
flash.message = " User ${params.id} deleted. "
redirect(action:list)
}
else {
flash.message = " User not found with id ${params.id} "
redirect(action:list)
}
} def edit = {
def user = User.get( params.id ) if ( ! user) {
flash.message = " User not found with id ${params.id} "
redirect(action:list)
}
else {
return [ user : user ]
}
} def update = {
def user = User.get( params.id )
if (user) {
user.properties = params
if (user.save()) {
redirect(action:show,id:user.id)
}
else {
render(view: ' edit ' ,model:[user:user])
}
}
else {
flash.message = " User not found with id ${params.id} "
redirect(action:edit,id:params.id)
}
} def create = {
def user = new User()
user.properties = params
return [ ' user ' :user]
} def save = {
def user = new User()
user.properties = params
if (user.save()) {
redirect(action:show,id:user.id)
}
else {
render(view: ' create ' ,model:[user:user])
}
} // 自己添加的Closure ajax定义
def ajax = {}
// 自己添加的Closure sayHello定义
def sayHello = {
render " [${new Date()}] Hello, ${params.name} "
} }
|
添加sayHello闭包的目的很明显，因为客户端需要调用。那为什么还要添加ajax这个闭包呢？其实添加 ajax 这个闭包的目的是使
http://localhost:8080/AjaxDemo/user/ ajax 这个请求合法化，否则会发生404错误，找不到页面：
HTTP ERROR: 404
Not Found
RequestURI=/AjaxDemo/user/ajax
Powered by Jetty://
所以被客户端请求的 每个 gsp页面，都需要在相应的Controller中添加以gsp文件名为变量名的Closure，如上面的ajax.gsp和ajax = {}所示，其中Closure中可以添加相关代码，我们这里仅仅是做Ajax的演示，所以就不需要代码
5，在AjaxDemo\grails-app\views\user目录下，新建ajax.gsp，用来演示remoteLink的用法，内容为：
< g:javascript library ="prototype" />
< div id ="hello" > Content will be displayed here </ div >
< g:remoteLink action ="sayHello" params ="[name:'BlueSUN']" update ="hello" >Say Hello </ g:remoteLink >
|
params表示要传递的参数，而update表示返回结果显示的地方，注意update="hello"中的hello对应于div的id，表示结果将显示于div所在处。
点击链接后的界面：
[Fri May 11 17:46:47 CST 2007] Hello, BlueSUN
Say Hello
6，修改AjaxDemo\grails-app\views\user\ ajax.gsp，演示formRemote的用法，内容为：
<g:javascript library="prototype" /> <div id="hello">Content will be displayed here</div>
<div id="error"></div><g:remoteLink action="sayHello" params="[name:'BlueSUN']" update="hello">Say Hello</g:remoteLink> <hr /> <g:formRemote name="test" url="[controller:'user',action:'sayHello']" update="[success:'hello',failure:'error']">
<input type="text" name="name" value="BlueSUN" />
<input type="submit" value="Say Hello" />
</g:formRemote >
|
原本用params传递的参数，现在可以以form的形式传递了，将想传递的内容输入name的textfield中即可。
默认值我设为BlueSUN，现在我将值改为terry，点击Say Hello按钮，结果如下：
[Fri May 11 18:16:17 CST 2007] Hello, terry
Say Hello
7，修改AjaxDemo\grails-app\views\user\ ajax.gsp和AjaxDemo\grails-app\controllers\UserController.groovy，演示remoteField的用法：
ajax.gsp:
<g:javascript library="prototype" />
<div id="hello">Content will be displayed here</div>
<div id="error"></div>
<g:remoteLink action="sayHello" params="[name:'BlueSUN']" update="hello">Say Hello</g:remoteLink> <hr /> <g:formRemote name="test" url="[controller:'user',action:'sayHello']" update="[success:'hello',failure:'error']">
<input type="text" name="name" value="BlueSUN" />
<input type="submit" value="Say Hello" />
</g:formRemote > <hr /> <g:remoteField action="sayHello2" update="hello" name="name" value="" /> UserController.groovy:
class UserController {
def index = { redirect(action:list,params:params) } // the delete, save and update actions only
// accept POST requests
def allowedMethods = [delete:'POST',
save:'POST',
update:'POST'] def list = {
if(!params.max)params.max = 10
[ userList: User.list( params ) ]
} def show = {
[ user : User.get( params.id ) ]
} def delete = {
def user = User.get( params.id )
if(user) {
user.delete()
flash.message = "User ${params.id} deleted."
redirect(action:list)
}
else {
flash.message = "User not found with id ${params.id}"
redirect(action:list)
}
} def edit = {
def user = User.get( params.id ) if(!user) {
flash.message = "User not found with id ${params.id}"
redirect(action:list)
}
else {
return [ user : user ]
}
} def update = {
def user = User.get( params.id )
if(user) {
user.properties = params
if(user.save()) {
redirect(action:show,id:user.id)
}
else {
render(view:'edit',model:[user:user])
}
}
else {
flash.message = "User not found with id ${params.id}"
redirect(action:edit,id:params.id)
}
} def create = {
def user = new User()
user.properties = params
return ['user':user]
} def save = {
def user = new User()
user.properties = params
if(user.save()) {
redirect(action:show,id:user.id)
}
else {
render(view:'create',model:[user:user])
}
} // 自己添加的Closure ajax定义
def ajax = {}
// 自己添加的Closure sayHello定义
def sayHello = {
render "[${new Date()}] Hello, ${params.name}"
}
// 自己添加的Closure sayHello2定义
def sayHello2 = {
render "[${new Date()}] Hello, ${params.value}"
} }
|
由于 用remoteField传递过来的参数名为value，又为了保留以前的演示，所以再定义一个sayHello2闭包，注意是params.value而非params.name
输入“BlueSUN” ，请注意输入时页面的相应更新效果，结果界面：
输入到一半，即输入“Blue”
[Fri May 11 18:34:03 CST 2007] Hello, Blue
Say Hello
紧接着输入“SUN”
[Fri May 11 18:32:42 CST 2007] Hello, BlueSUN
Say Hello
8，修改AjaxDemo\grails-app\views\user\ ajax.gsp，演示remoteFunction的用法，内容为：
<g:javascript library="prototype" />
<div id="hello">Content will be displayed here</div>
<div id="error"></div>
<g:remoteLink action="sayHello" params="[name:'BlueSUN']" update="hello">Say Hello</g:remoteLink> <hr /> <g:formRemote name="test" url="[controller:'user',action:'sayHello']" update="[success:'hello',failure:'error']">
<input type="text" name="name" value="BlueSUN" />
<input type="submit" value="Say Hello" />
</g:formRemote > <hr /> <g:remoteField action="sayHello2" update="hello" name="name" value="" /> <hr /> <button onClick="${remoteFunction(action:'sayHello', update:[success:'hello', failure:'error'], params:'\'name=\' + \'BlueSUN\'')}"> Say Hello</button>
|
点击Say Hello按钮后，结果页面：
[Fri May 11 18:48:37 CST 2007] Hello, BlueSUN
Say Hello Say Hello |
9，Grails也可以利用Ajax异步显示Server端返回的页面，新建页面AjaxDemo\grails-app\views\user\result.gsp:
< html >
< head >
< meta http-equiv ="Content-Type" content ="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
< meta name ="layout" content ="main" />
< title > Result Page </ title >
</ head >
< body >
< div class ="nav" >
< span class ="menuButton" > < a href ="${createLinkTo(dir:'')}" > Home </ a ></ span >
</ div >
< div class ="body" >
< h1 > ${name} </ h1 >
</ div >
</ body >
</ html > |
修改AjaxDemo\grails-app\controllers\UserController.groovy:
class UserController {
def index = { redirect(action:list,params:params) }// the delete, save and update actions only
// accept POST requests
def allowedMethods = [delete: ' POST ' ,
save: ' POST ' ,
update: ' POST ' ] def list = {
if ( ! params.max)params.max = 10
[ userList: User.list( params ) ]
} def show = {
[ user : User.get( params.id ) ]
} def delete = {
def user = User.get( params.id )
if (user) {
user.delete()
flash.message = " User ${params.id} deleted. "
redirect(action:list)
}
else {
flash.message = " User not found with id ${params.id} "
redirect(action:list)
}
} def edit = {
def user = User.get( params.id ) if ( ! user) {
flash.message = " User not found with id ${params.id} "
redirect(action:list)
}
else {
return [ user : user ]
}
} def update = {
def user = User.get( params.id )
if (user) {
user.properties = params
if (user.save()) {
redirect(action:show,id:user.id)
}
else {
render(view: ' edit ' ,model:[user:user])
}
}
else {
flash.message = " User not found with id ${params.id} "
redirect(action:edit,id:params.id)
}
} def create = {
def user = new User()
user.properties = params
return [ ' user ' :user]
} def save = {
def user = new User()
user.properties = params
if (user.save()) {
redirect(action:show,id:user.id)
}
else {
render(view: ' create ' ,model:[user:user])
}
} // 自己添加的Closure ajax定义
def ajax = {}
// 自己添加的Closure sayHello定义
def sayHello = {
render " [${new Date()}] Hello, ${params.name} "
}
// 自己添加的Closure sayHello2定义
def sayHello2 = {
render " [${new Date()}] Hello, ${params.value} "
}
// 自己添加的Closure displayResultPage定义
def displayResultPage = {
render(view: ' result ' , model:[name:params.name])
}
} |
修改AjaxDemo\grails-app\views\user\ajax.gsp:
< g:javascript library ="prototype" />
< div id ="hello" > Content will be displayed here </ div >
< div id ="error" ></ div >
< g:remoteLink action ="sayHello" params ="[name:'BlueSUN']" update ="hello" > Say Hello </ g:remoteLink > < hr /> < g:formRemote name ="test" url ="[controller:'user',action:'sayHello']" update ="[success:'hello',failure:'error']" >
< input type ="text" name ="name" value ="BlueSUN" />
< input type ="submit" value ="Say Hello" />
</ g:formRemote > < hr /> < g:remoteField action ="sayHello2" update ="hello" name ="name" value ="" /> < hr /> < button onClick ="${remoteFunction(action:'sayHello', update:[success:'hello', failure:'error'], params:'\'name=\' + \'BlueSUN\'')}" > Say Hello </ button > < hr /> < g:formRemote name ="test" url ="[controller:'user',action:'displayResultPage']" update ="[success:'hello',failure:'error']" >
< input type ="text" name ="name" value ="BlueSUN" />
< input type ="submit" value ="Say Hello" />
</ g:formRemote > |
输入“terry”，点击Say Hello按钮，结果页面（样式的丢失是因为在ajax.gsp中没有声明css，目的是抓重点，抛开一切琐碎的内容）：
最后要提醒大家一点，如果要使用中文，请将中文写在AjaxDemo\grails-app\i18n\messages_zh_CN.properties中，然后用<g:message code="key" />来显示。
