Matthew - I'm forwarding your question to the developers list in hopes of getting a more knowledgeable answer (I haven't worked with or helped develop the latest release).
Matt -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2003 12:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CP: Display taglib I posted this comment to your blog, but the formatting is kind of message up ---> I was looking through the release of displaytag-1.0-b1. I'm curious if there is a simplier way of creating an "Actions" column without creating a Decorator that hard codes the links. Re: public String getLink2() { ListObject lObject= (ListObject)getObject(); int lId= lObject.getId(); return "<a href=\"details.jsp?id=" + lId + "&action=view\">View</a> | " + "<a href=\"details.jsp?id=" + lId + "&action=edit\">Edit</a> | " + "<a href=\"details.jsp?id=" + lId + "&action=delete\">Delete</a>"; } Could you achieve more flexiblity with creating an "Actions" column type that takes an href list like this code? Or something else that allows you to put some type of expression in? name="hreflist" value="edit,edit.jsp;delete,delete.jsp" Example from --> http://www.sutternow.com/CodeStuff/jsp/grids/gridtest.jsp 1:<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"; %> 2:<%@ taglib prefix="x" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/xml"; %> 3:<%@ page import="com.sutternow.xmlSelect"%> 4:<% 5: xmlSelect objXML = new xmlSelect(); 6: objXML.setJndiname("java:comp/env/jdbc/sutterdb"); 7: objXML.setQuery("select * from Customers"); 8:%> 9:<c:import url="/includes/xslt/sortablegrid.xslt" var='xslt'/> 10:<x:transform xslt="${xslt}"> 11:<x:param name="hreflist" value="edit,edit.jsp;delete,delete.jsp"/> 12:<%=objXML.getXml().toString().trim()%> 13:</x:transform> I know this code is a different animal, but I think it's a pretty severe anti-pattern to have your links hard-coded in a decorator class. Thoughts???
