Why Chain over Action?

Subject line says it all. I've been contemplating this topic. The best answer I can give here is that in Struts 1.3, you really don't have to ever deal with an Action class at all - use ChainAction as an entry point into your chains. But how would you model a real world application using the

RE: Lists within lists issue

Prabdoh, You are much better off using JSTL so you can write something like: html:textarea property=${form.object[i].subobject[j].property/ Once you go JSTL, you never go back :-) Which makes the nested object tags obsolete. Paul --- Deshmukh, Prabodh (P.) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Looks

Re: Passing an array of fields to ActionForm

Arrays (and collections for that matter) are just single objects with an unknown size. You can just specify a property to be a String[] and then a c:forEach loop to print out whatever you want. __ Yahoo! FareChase: Search multiple travel sites

Commons Validator 1.2

Re: Question on http://displaytag.sourceforge.net/

Rick, I am using it now. There's a big 1.1 release plan, but I think with only one or two guys working on it, it will take years to release -- even longer than the 18 month Struts release cycle :-) Anyway, they have paging built-in for 1.1, but in the mean time, use the ValueLiist tag which is

Re: Default values for Multiple Select

Natalie, Your question isn't clear If you're dealing with multiple checkboxes, the property backing them should be a String[] so you can capture all the values selected. If you're dealing with multiple options of a radio group, only one option will ever be selected. Paul

Can someone save me from insanity? Questionable... But I get the following error in tomcat: javax.servlet.ServletException: Request[/mywizard1] does not contain handler parameter named 'method'. Do you have a method named 'method'? It should look like the typical Struts execute method.

Custom Struts code or 1.2.8?

Does anyone ever run any custom versions of Struts or the Commons library? The reason I ask is because the bug that I need fix (it is now fixed) in Commons Validator isn't released for the Struts 1.2.x branch, but most likely will be released with Struts 1.3 Well I don't like using release 1

Re: Why I Hate Struts Modules

Frank, I didn't know this. I thought the only way to chunk up the Struts config was to define modules, because only one XML could be specified. well now that I know I can have one (default) module that contain all my configurations, I am chucking the modules. :-) Paul --- Frank W. Zammetti

Why I Hate Struts Modules

Great subject line, isn't it? :) OK. I've been doing Struts for like 2-3 years now, and Struts Modules I loved for awhile but now I absolutely can't stand them First off, my initial appeal to modules was to split up the configuration files so different developers can work on the project

Re: When is Struts 1.2.8 and 1.3 coming out?

Ted, I saw javadoc changes that say @since 1.2.8. Will that code be ported to 1.3? See, I'd really like a 1.2.8 that fixes the URL validator bug. That's a big priority for me. Paul __ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005

When is Struts 1.2.8 and 1.3 coming out?

I see code for 1.2.8 and code for 1.3. Will anyone be releasing these soon? I look forward to 1.3 but it doesn't seem to exist on the Struts page as a downloadable kind of moving slow. I am just a patient waiter and eager for any version to make it out. Paul

DAOs in service methods

Is Struts Dying?

The subject line asks it all. Is it true? I hope we see a version 1.2.8 and a 1.3 soon, but I am sorry to see all the innovation going into Spring (YEAH!) and Shale (YAWN!), with no one really wanting to continue growing the classic framework. Is it viable to evolve Struts Classic into Shale,

[OT] DAO Pattern in Struts

Hi guys, I have some ideas for some enhancements for Struts. I am glad we are moving along with 1.2.x and 1.3, but are we allowed to have discussion about the revolution of it too? I like to think that Ted Husted's Struts Jericho could get going soon. We have Shale (although I think JSF is not
