Rendering of large and/or complex HTML tables in IE and Netscape can be pretty CPU-intensive for a short time. We noticed a short CPU spike every time that page was loaded - I at first assumed it was the action/business-logic/JSP-population that was responsible, but the minute we changed the output to send XML to Flash instead of HTML to browser, the spike totally disappeared. It probably doesn't hurt that JDOM is lightning quick for outputting documents to a stream (small ones, at least) - I don't know how fast or slow the code is that Jasper generates from JSP (but I do know that it is ugly ;-).

Re: Flash+Struts how?
Mark Galbreath wrote: Only a weenie programmer would use Flash with Struts[...] Nice attitude. I hope I misunderstood that reply... Anyway, to answer the original inquiry: A part of the UI of our app is a flash movie, and we chose to integrate it using XML. The Flash sends requests to our struts actions (they look like any other URL to Flash), but these particular actions return XML instead of HTML. The Flash parses the XML and applies it to the UI appropriately. Works quite well and with no noticeable CPU usage on the client - a problem we had with the previous, complicated HTML interface for this part of the app. There is also a relatively new feature of Flash MX that provides integration between Flash and J2EE apps without using XML in between. Although I haven't looked at it in detail, I bet it can be used with Struts as well as "ordinary" servlets.

How to: different actions, different form beans (ActionForms), sameJSP
If this is an "already asked/answered" please forgive and point me to the FAQ, tutorial, or previous message that discusses it. I've searched jGuru and browsed the tips at husted.com without luck. I have two actions, each with its own form bean/ActionForm, that both need to forward to the same JSP. That content of that JSP can then submit to a third action. Action1, which uses a form bean of type FormBean1 does one kind of search. Action2, using FormBean2, does a different kind of search. FormBean2 extends FormBean1. There is one JSP that displays the results of either type of search (iterates over a result object that is stored in FormBean). The JSP also has a form on it that submits to Action3, which also uses FormBean1. How can I set it up so that both of these actions can forward to the JSP? Action2 can set the results object and forward to the JSP, but the JSP is expecting to use FormBean1, so it doesn't see the data that Action2 stored in FormBean2. Here's what I configured it like, without luck: type="com.jibe.Action1" name="form1" scope="session"> path="/jsp/results.jsp" /> type="com.jibe.Action2" name="form2" scope="session"> path="/jsp/results.jsp" /> When results.jsp is processing after coming from Action2, it doesn't find any results in the bean.

Knowing where you came from
In an Action, is there a way to determine if the request is coming from a
forward from another Action or from an "external" request? I've thought about
storing in the session the last known request object and then comparing against
it every time any of my actions perform() get called to see if the current
request is the same as the last "known" request. But this feels clunky.
Are there any other ways to know where the request is coming from?

An alternative to modifying the Struts source is to simply subclass
ActionServlet and override the initMapping() method with the version from James'
patch above. You can specify your subclass in the web.xml file instead of
ActionServlet and then the comma-separated feature will work.

The strategy I recommend for getting over the fact that org.* packges are in so many different API's is to create a new VAJ Project named "XML Base" and put in there the following packages: org.w3c.dom org.xml.sax org.xml.sax.ext org.xml.sax.helpers I have several versions of this Project, each with different versions of DOM and/or SAX in it (right now, I have loaded version "DOM Level 2, SAX 2" which I imported from JAXP 1.1). I also created a new version of the IBM XML Parser Project and removed the non-IBM specific packages from it (is has only com.ibm.xml.* in it now). Actaully, I later created an XML4J Project to replace the IBM one. I created a JAXP project, and imported the javax.xml.* packages into it. I also have a Xerces Project, with is mostly just the org.apache.xerces packages (also one or two packages like org.apache.xml and org.apache.wml.*). I also have a similar Crimson Project, with just org.apache.crimson.*. The pattern is to separate the VAJ Projects along product or API lines, so that they can co-exist in your VAJ workspace and it is easier to switch between them. It aggravates me to no end that IBM chose to put the org.xml stuff in their parser Project, because a lot of VAJ newbies don't yet understand the separation of Projects as I have described. IBM sets a bad example. HTH, Eric -- Eric Rizzo VAJ Frequently Asked Questions at http://www.jguru.com/faq/VAJ

Actually, there is. From the HTML Tags documentation: [if no collection attribute is specified] "The collection of values actually selected depends on the presence or absence of the name and property attributes. The following combinations are allowed: * Only name is specified - The value of this attribute is the name of a JSP bean in some scope that is the collection. * Only property is specified - The value of this attribute is the name of a property of the ActionForm bean associated with our form, which will return the collection. * Both name and property are specified - The value of the name attribute identifies a JSP bean in some scope. The value of the property attribute is the name of some property of that bean which will return the collection."

It has been a futile effort, but I was holding out hope that Tiles might be able to help me. From what is said above, it looks like Tiles won't help either (?) Here's an example of what I want to do: All pages in the app should have a common layout/basic feel, so I want to use a template that contains things like the .css includes, the page title, the tag, etc. This template will put up some "headers" followed by some content. For many pages, the content is a form with a set of buttons at the botton. There are a limited number of forms that are shared among all the pages, but every page has different buttons to put at the bottom. So it would be good to use a template for each kind of form, and have the calling page just the buttons it wants on the form. Problem is, the calling page is already in a and I can't another . Would Tiles be able to solve this particular problem, or is there another way I've overlooked? If not, this seems to me like a serious hole in capability, since this kind of pattern can't be uncommon.
