Why do you have to put the html in the resource file for header and footer?
You can use include directive instead.

Subject: html:messages Design issue: mixing data and presentation


 Hi,
 A great thing with Struts is the error validation
 capabilities. However, the use of html:errors/, or
 lately html:messages, poses a problem that I found
 not to be a very good design (though it is slightly
 better in the messages tag).

 What I don't like is, in order to get any presentation
 formatting on the header and footer, you need to enter
 html in the resources and therefore mixing up data and
 presentation.

 An example where this apply is that we have an i18n
 utility where the administrator for each country can
 translate all messages from a default language into
 their local language and for the messages headers and
 footers they have to see the html as well.

 Has anyone thought of this before?

Re: Another questions about checkboxes

2002-01-02 Thread Julius

In the reset method of the form class check what kind of action is accessing
it and only reset the form whenever neccessary. You can do this by setting a
hidden form field html:hidden property=action value=whatever in your
jsp file and add the coresponding attribute in your form class.

Good luck!


 Hi,

 I have a form that has a Boolean property that in the form reset method is
 reset to false.
 This form is used over two pages. In the first page there is a checkbox
that
 the user can select to modify this Boolean property. This page is
submitted
 to an action class that just forwards to the second page. In the second
page
 I display the checkbox value. After the second page the form is submitted
to
 another action to process.

 The problem. In the first page the checkbox works correctly. In the second
 page, which is a summary page of selections on the first page, the form
 values are shown correctly. When the second page gets submitted to the
last
 action class, the checkbox is reset to false and that is the value that
the
 action class gets.

 I know that the second page, even though it only displays the values shown
 in the first page, is calling the reset method of the form. I need the
reset
 method to set the Boolean to false because the user might go back a page
and
 uncheck the checkbox.

 Does anyone have any experience of using checkboxes when the form goes
over
 multiple pages? Any ideas on how I can fix this.

 Thanks a lot of any help.

 Alex
