Re: New professional STRUTS website
Beautiful site! I haven't been through it all yet, but a very impressive web application. As Martin Cooper asked, I would also be interested in what aspects of Struts you found most useful, what you felt was missing, whether you did one large page or tiled, etc. I am curious how you implemented shared functionality such as uploading of images or their editing. Did you duplicate the actions, somehow parameterize your JSPs, etc? Thank you for sharing your site. Frederick N.

I would be happy to provide more detail into any questions anyone may have in terms of the STRUTS implimentation or other solutions for the build. I have been reading this list for a long time and working on this project for a very long time hoping to expose STRUTS as a fantastic framework for implimenting proffessional MVC based web applications.

Nested set-property elements
I've read the several excellent messages describing deriving classes from ActionMapping and using the set-property element in struts-config.xml. One in particular was: http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg08755.html What I would like to do is have a sequence of elements nested in the action element which in turn have a sequence of elements. This should become a property of a type such as an ArrayList of an ArrayList in the derived ActionMapping class. It appears that the set-property is limited to simple (name,value) pairs, although the set-property DTD definition does specify a id attribute. Is that true? Is what I am trying to do possible with set-property? Or am I actually going to have to modify the struts-config_1_1.dtd? Are there any other alternatives? Thank you. Frederick N.

Ultradev CTLX question
If you are in Dreamweaver Ultradev LiveData mode and make a change, then Ultradev tries to upload the JSP and directly invoke it on the server. But an ActionForm does not exist, so you will end up with null reference exceptions trying to look up the Bean in the request attributes. What you really want to do is have Ultradev invoke your Action class which then gets the data and creates your ActionForm. Am I missing something here? Is there a way to tell Ultradev about (and to use) the Action's forward name in the struts-config.xml file? Thank you. Frederick N. Brier Sr. Software Engineer Multideck Corporation
Classpath problem
Help me understand something. commons-beanutils.jar, commons-collections.jar, commons-digester.jar, struts.jar are placed in my .war files WEB-INF/lib directory. Everything is fine. I additionally copy them into my JVM's classpath (in JBoss by copying them into the jboss/lib/ext directory) and my Action and Form classes generate java.lang.ClassNotFound exceptions. Having them in just jboss/lib/ext and not the WEB-INF/lib also generates a java.lang.ClassNotFound exception. Why? Why does Struts care about where the .jar files are in the classpath? My reason for wanting to do this was most of my .war files were going to be built on top of Struts. There are also base utility classes that inherited from org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm and org.apache.struts.action.Action that most of my classes were going to inherit from. They were going to go in a .jar file that were deployed to /jboss/lib/ext. It didn't seem appropriate to have them all in each .war file. Thank you. Fred.
