RE: Textarea and Wrap
The HTML 4.01 specification says that in textareas "user agents may wrap visible text lines to keep long lines visible without the need for scrolling." Unfortunately, many user agents, including Netscape 4.7, won't actually do this with an additional "wrap" property. This is on the TODO list for 1.1. When implemented, this would certainly be an optional property, and if the developer did not specify "wrap=soft" or "wrap=hard", then a wrap propertly would not be included. I agree that it is unfortunate that we have to accomodate the vagriances of browser implementations, but it is my understanding that Struts is suppose to be a framework for deploying real-world applications. In practice, I would not be able to ship a Web application that used a text area without wrapping through Netscape 4.x, since there would too many user requests to add the feature. (I forgot the wrap property on a comment form once, and, as usual, learned the hard way.) How would Opera be adversly affected by Struts providing an optional wrap property? *** REPLY SEPARATOR *** On 2/6/2001 at 9:26 AM Michael Gerdau wrote: [wrap for textarea] I realize that "wrap" isn't part of the official spec, but it is supported by both IE and Netscape.

Installation notes for other servlet containers
We now have notes for Orion, Tomcat, Resin, and Weblogic. Similar instructons for other containers, like Enhydra, JBoss, JRun, and Websphere, and whatever else anyone is using, would be very much appreciated. If you know that Struts won't work with a container, and have a good explanation as to the specific problem, we should include that too.

RE: Textarea and Wrap
+1 Is it also worth thinking in general about a mechanism to allow custom tag properties conditionally. It is fairly easy to detect the user agent (browser), and based on that information different properties could be written out. If we can figure out a clean syntax, it's a lot cleaner than doing big JSP 'if' blocks to account for browser differences (which are sometimes unfortunately a fact of life). -Original Message- From: Ted Husted [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: February 6, 2001 7:33 AM To: Struts Dev Subject: RE: Textarea and Wrap Here's a related idea: Should all the Struts HTML tags have an option for adding custom properties as-is?

I noticed some odd behaviour initially. Excerpts of a reply to another user: == The only issue I've had is a rather odd "feature" of WLS. The initial deployment did the standard expansion of the .war into the normal subdirectory structure. I ran the demo tested that it all ran o.k., worked on some other apps, and had to reboot. When my system came back up, the subdirectory structure was gone! Moreover, the app still ran! WLS apparently can, and does, run the application directly from the .war. Why, I don't know - I just expect that I can defeat this behaviour by manually expanding the application. The implications of this were that 1) the system ran like molassas - nothing stayed compiled when I bounced the server, and this server runs like poop on my laptop; and 2) the standard database .xml file didn't get saved, so there was no persistent data storage. I don't expect a problem fixing this. Oh, and the server doesn't seem to pick up the changes to .JSPs very well (o.k., not at all), but that's no doubt some parameter I can tweak. == I've since communicated with the BEA guys about the latter matter, and they've only succeeded in pointing out the same settings that are detailed in the on-line manuals (which didn't help). However, having satisfied myself that I can deploy Struts to run on WLS 6, I'm comfortable developing on Tomcat. If so, I'll rework the package so that we can apply these for several of the containers (Tomcat 3.1+, Resin, and WLS 6.0+), and then focus on the exceptions (Orion, WLS51 SP8, et cetera). Anyone with notes on using a container with Apache is also welcome to contribute those. *** REPLY SEPARATOR ***
