Do I really need to install JRE1.2, struts.jar, etc.. on the distribution machine in order to use struts 1.0?

2001-01-22 Thread Hay Tran

I know for sure that I would need to install struts.jar, etc.. and jdk1.2 on
my development  machine in order to use struts1.0

However, when we release the final product to the customer, we only plan to
release the generated serverlet classes to the customer without the orignal
jsp pages.
We would like to release the our product with the followings:
Tomcat Server 3.2
JRE 1.1.8
and our product sepcific .war files that contains only the generated
serverlet classes, leaving out the struts.lib, etc.. classes.

However, according to the instruction on struts home page (included below),
in seemed like the our plan above is no feasible.

Anyone have any comments or suggestion on the above would be much
appreciated.


To use Struts in your own application, you will need to follow these steps:

 Copy the file lib/struts.jar from the Struts
distribution into the WEB-INF/lib directory of your web
 application.
 Copy the all of the files that match
lib/struts*.tld from the Struts distribution into the WEB-INF
 directory of your web application.
 Modify the WEB-INF/web.xml file for your web
application to include a  element to define the
 controller servlet, and a  element
to establish which request URIs are mapped to this
 servlet. Use the WEB-INF/web.xml file from the
Struts example application for a detailed example of the
 required syntax.

Re: Looking for Struts Tutorial

1. Does any one know the definite (or best guessed) release date for Struts
1.0?

2. If 1.0 will not be released by June/2001 time frame, is what are the
risks in using one of the nightly build of Struts1.0?

3. Which of the nightly build is the most stable one to use?

-Thanks.






Re: How can I use a java variable that was defined in the enclosing template tag?

2000-12-21 Thread Hay Tran

Thanks Cedric for your help.

Does template:put can actually put an object other than String?
That is:
<% AClass aObject = new AClass(); %>
...

...

And, then, how are we going to get the boject back?

I guess that's where your proposal to extend the template tag comes in.

In any rate,  I have a work around for now, which is to use the
request.setAttribute(...) and request.getAttribute(...)
to pass and retrieve objects between those files involved in the template.

It is not convenient, but, I guess that's what I have to do at the moment.

Again, many thanks for your help.

How can I use a java variable that was defined in the enclosing template tag?

2000-12-20 Thread Hay Tran



Here is an example:
// Here is the code segment for the enclosing tag, 
the template:insert ...
.
<%
    String strToBeUsedByPageA = 
"Hello";
%>
 

    

 
 
// Here is the code segment for the enclosed file, 
PageA

The enclosing tag defined the strToBeUsedByPageA 
variable that is being displayed here:<%=strToBeUsedByPageA 
%>
...
 
 
// I get the error msg saying 
strToBeUsedByPageA  is not define.
 
Thanks for any help I can get.
