While it's not needed to write a wrapper class, you do need a java snippet.
Something along the lines of this:

<%
Object object = pageContext.findAttribute("annot instance name");
SearchText searchText = 
object.getClass().getAnnotation(SearchText.class);
String name = searchText == null ? null : searchText.name();
%>

[Stripes-users] Accessing annotations directly from JSP/EL

[Ross Sargant]

Hi There,
  I apologize in advance as this is not strictly a stripes related question
but I've searched online and can't seem to find an answer.

I'm playing around with using annotations to drive some reusable tags which
generate search forms in my applications. I want to markup fields in a
search request bean with annotations that specify a few options to the tag.
An instance of a search request bean will be passed to the tag and it will
spit out a search form for me.

I think I'm running in to problems because instances of annotations are not
actually java beans.
As an example if the annotation is defined as
*
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.FIELD)
public @interface SearchText{
String name();
String description();
}*

I can't access the "name" value from EL using "${.name}".

Any suggestions for work arounds?  Is it really necessary to write bean
style wrapper classes just to get this to work? I had a thought of dumping
out all the annotation data into a  map so I could at least
get to it from EL however that requires reflecting on the annotation class
itself to get the map keys and just seems to crazy.

Hi

Yes I understand : I hate to write Java code, so I'm Groovy-ing whenever I
can as well :)

If you use maven, you have almost nothing to do in order to integrate groovy
compilation : there's the gmaven plugin that does it all. It hooks in the
maven lifecycle to do the mixed java/groovy compilation for you. I'm using
it a lot, works great overall.

You just need to define the dep to groovy and configure gmaven plugin, like
this :

Hi Freddy and Remi

Thanks alot for the article, Freddy.
Will try it out :)

I am looking into this to see if we can use the syntactically sugar from
Groovy. I understand what you are saying, Remi and I guess there might be
more to it than just compile the action bean with Groovy. But anyway, we
will play with it a little and see what happens.

Thanks alot

Hi guys

I have read something about using Stripes and Groovy together and have seen
some references around the web, but I can't seem to find a How-to somewhere.
There is a reference to an article on DZone by Freddy, but it points to
nowhere.
Can anybody help?

We have a stripes group in linkedIn. This is suitable for things like:


   - job postings
   - non-technical discussions
   - various notifications
   - Examples of what has been built with stripes


http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1266127&mostPopular=

I've just switched
it to be open so that it will be indexed by search engines

99 members so far.

There is a job board there. Let me know if you need help posting a job.
