Mutating bean properties set by bean:define

2002-01-09 Thread Mitesh Mehta

I think bean:define has a gap in its functionality which needs to be filled.

PROBLEM/GAP:
With bean:define I can define a String on a context as below which is not
possible with jsp:useBean.  jsp:useBean requires the String to be part of
another JavaBean (both name and property are required).



But now if I want to modify the value of "foo" to be "frodo" in the same JSP
page, I cannot use bean:define again (see USAGE NOTE at
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/struts-bean.html#define).  I cannot use
jsp:setProperty either because I cannot refer to the "foo" with a "name" and
"property" combination.

PROPOSED SOLUTION:
If bean:define allowed a "mustCreate" attribute (default value would be
"true" for backward compatibility) it could be set to "false" in such cases
thereby telling the DefineTei to not export the "foo" variable while the
DefineTag can still set/modify the value.

I know that a single line of Java scriptlet can be used to achieve this but
I am trying to avoid that by exclusively using tags.

I am posting it on the user's list first for a sanity check.  If there are
no counter-arguments, I will post it to the dev list and/or submit a patch.

Thanks,

Multiple Struts App Support

Title: Multiple Struts App Support





Craig,


Have you decided anything about the multi-app support you talked about earlier for 1.1?  Specifically, are you planning on using the framework available from Sukachevin, Stoehr [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] at  http://users.erols.com/sukachevin/struts/multi-struts-1.0-src.zip as a starting point or are you planning to roll your own?

Does Winterfeldt's validation framework support dependencies between fields in a given form i.e. validation of field2 should be done only if field1 exists or is a certain value?

CVS directory structure

2001-03-30 Thread Mitesh Mehta
Title: CVS directory structure





I am trying to figure out the CVS directory structure for a large multi-component web application.


I know that the Servlet/JSP specs prescribe a certain directory structure that is used to build war files.  I am interested in knowing if any of you have added to that structure or have any advise or pointers based on your own experience.

Thanks,
