RE: Visually Developing Struts Pages

[Bill Willis]

Just to clarify, Aadithya is talking about the JSP support in
ObjectAssembler. It basically helps you insert and validate the use of
Struts tags. The support for Struts, Tiles, and Validator configurations
is *much* more extensive at this point. It also automates the packaging
of your JSPs, Struts components, and all related Struts configurations
in a WAR.

Is there a great need for WYSIWYG JSP editing? It looks like Macromedia
doesn't currently offer this. Does any other company out there do this?

Bill

I don't know how much help this is to you, but ObjectVenture does
provide a "GUI" for Struts; however in the demo that I played with, it
was little more than wizard-based adding of form elements and
properties; the real meat and potatoes work was still hand coding. For
us, we basically have a someone draft up the page in homesite /
dreamweaver and then we just throw in the form elements as we see fit (
if they're advanced enough, we can even have them write up the form
elements ) . we do the maintenance of the config file via James Holmes'
excellent Struts Console.

ObjectVenture's home page is ( unsurprisingly ) :

ObjectAssembler 2.5 Pro is now available:

http://www.objectventure.com/objectassembler.html

New Struts features in this release:

 - Full support for Tiles definitions
 - Full support for Validator 1.0 configurations
 - Jump from any element in our visual editor to its associated XML
 - Two-way development. Changes made to XML are immediately reflected in
the visual editor and vice versa
 - Two additional component types: Struts Exception and Validator
(allows the implementation of Validator rules). For each of these
components that are created, their use is automated in the Struts,
Tiles, and Validator configuration editor
 - Updated all Struts support to the latest 1.1 builds.

ObjectAssembler doesn't just help you generate configuration files. It
is a component-based Struts development environment that assists you in
building both Struts components and configuration files. It also
automates the process of packaging them in a WAR and generating the WAR
itself.

ObjectAssembler is currently supported in Jbuilder, Netbeans, Sun ONE
Studio, and as a standalone IDE. We are working on the next supported
IDE (the most popular requests being IDEA and Eclipse).

I invite you to take ObjectAssembler for a spin. The User Manual, which
is provided with the installation, explains how to make use of
ObjectAssembler's Struts support. We also have some simple Struts
Viewlets available here if you aren't quite up to downloading yet:

Hi all,

   I am using Silverstream version 3.7.3 and in searching the mail

Tomcat and Weblogic (in regards to the struts-example app), and they
were both version problems.
   I tried to find the fix for this in the mail archive but was
unsuccessful.  I downloaded the nightly build from 20020904 and deployed
the struts-example.war successfully.  However when I try to access the
app I am getting the following exception.

javax.servlet.ServletException: 
 
I took a look at the struts-config.xml file and the 
 element is there and appears okay.

Has anyone had this same problem with this version of the nightly build.

Have you done a clean recompile? In other words, have you wiped out all

Hi Tiago,

"... I don't understand why IDE like Jbuilder don't come with support
for frameworks like struts. In version 8 or 9 maybe there will be
integration with JSF, by then JSF 2 will be out..."

That support already exists. Try ObjectAssembler, Struts Console, etc.
Remember that most IDEs will give you okay support for ten zillion
different things but rarely deep support for anything. Try one of the
Struts tools that plugs into JBuilder and other IDEs seamlessly and get
deep, intelligent support for Struts. You won't have to wait around for
mediocre Struts support. :-)

Hi Fabian,

You should definitely try ObjectAssembler:
http://www.objectventure.com/products/objectassembler.html.

It integrates tightly with JBuilder (and other IDEs) and provides
two-way tools for building Struts components and configurations. The
Standard version, which offers web and Struts 1.1 development, is FREE.
I encourage you to take a look at the User Manual before getting started
and to visit the support forum (http://support.objectventure.net) if you
have any questions or comments.

We could provide installers in the future that do not include a JRE (used

RE: Anyone want a tool to validate a struts war file?

[Bill Willis]

Hi everyone,

I would like to hear much more about what you would find valuable in tools
that automate Struts development. We have a tool called ObjectAssembler that
supports Struts in the following ways:

 - Visual creation, importing, and editing of Struts components (Actions,
ActionForms, Plugins, etc.). You can also edit the code and the two views
will synch up.
 - Visual creation, importing, and editing of Struts configurations
 - Automated generation of associated XML files, and packaging with
accessory files in the WAR
 - Real-time validation of your Struts configurations as you work

Similar functionality is available for WARs, EARs, and EJB JARs. Importing
whole assemblies is not yet supported but would not be difficult for us to
provide. Once imported (assembly descriptor, components, and accessory
files), the real-time validation would then passively display any warnings
or errors with any possible corrective actions as it does now.

The web development edition (which includes Struts functionality) is free of
charge for anyone to use. Version 2.0, which supports Struts 1.1, will be
released next month (JBuilder and Netbeans/Forte editions). Anyone who is
interested in seeing a beta before then should contact me directly. I think
I can speak for all Struts tools providers in saying that you should
regularly mention what features you would find valuable. Feel free to dream
all you want - perhaps some of them will become a reality sooner than you
think!

By the way, would anyone be interested in the same kind of support for
Validator, Tiles, etc.?

Actually, what I would find more interesting is a "struts aware" tool that
lets you load/mount a war file.
Then the tool/module would rip through it and produce all my documentation

As well as produce a "recommended.htm" that lists common mistakes and/or

RE: Multi Device application with STRUTS

[Bill Willis]

Hello Manuel,

We have a product called Roaming Wireless Framework, which is based on
Struts. It has device detection capabilities built in (WAP, I-Mode, PQA,
HTML, etc.) - all you need to do is set a property (called 'device') on a
forward to make it device sensitive (see below). It also has a set of device
generic and device specific tags that you can use to control the view and
data sources.

Subject: TR: Multi Device application with STRUTS


Hello,

First : I am a French developper, so I apologize for my poor English !

Our society decided to use STRUTS because of it’s MVC approach !

Our applications have to be accessed by differents customers devices.
Each customer device supports different languages ( html, vdxml, WML,
etc...)

What’s on ?

STRUTS having not intrisinc customer device notion, we are thinking about
two ways
for making STRUTS have a customer device notion.


Method 1 :


Upgrading ourself STRUTS to implement a device detection ( This info could
be retrieved in
the fisrt customer header request ).
This approach would mean that all the specific device code ( Views,
Forms,... ) should be selected
automaticly by forwards functions, and generally by all the STRUTS functions
expecting
a parameter like path=”example.jsp” or any page indication parameter
 input=”MyForm” in the case of an input action).

Example :
The first application page is “index.jsp”

In struts-config.xml we define this action :




There is no “welcome.jsp” but two pages named respectivly “welcome_A.jsp”
and contains html code,
and “welcome_B.jsp” which contains WML code.

A Customer Device accept html ( Netscape browser )
B Customer Device accept wml ( WAP )

The “index.jsp” which is the common page could detect customer device and
sets the Device Value to A or B.
“index.jsp” contains a link wich page=“welcome.do”

So we start !

When the customer selects the link “welcome.do”, STRUTS action called
forward could return “welcome_A.jsp”,
assuming current device is A.

We are here speaking of suffixed pages with A and B. We could  use the same
pages names but in different directories like that :
“A/welcome.jsp” for A Device ( html )
“B/welcome.jsp” for B Device.( WML )


Method 2 :

Making two applications, the fisrt for A Customer Devices and the second for
B Customer Devices, and force them to share ( if we can do so ! )
the ressources that are not Device specific.






Questions :


Am I Wrong ? ( because none of these methods should be applied or there is a
simple way )

Best way ?


Thank you all for your answers,


Manuel Vilar,

Hi Ted,

I joined the Struts Mailing List yesterday and have already learned some
valuable information.  I have seen Tiles refered to in several different
posts and am wondering where I can find out more information about it (I
couldn't find a Contrib folder, but wasn't sure where to look for it).  If
you or someone else could point me in the right direction, I would
appreciate it.

Thanks,

Karen

The Tiles version (in the Contrib folder) can be integrated with the
Action forwards, eliminating places where another physical file might
otherwise be needed. This uses a XML configuration file, which is very
"Struts-like".

CSS can be used along with JSP templates.

Other than that, I would say a CUI is a CUI, and you could compare each
on its own merits.

What other interface rendering utilities did you have in mind?
