Bud god forbid, I can't even begin to imagine how to build anything with struts. I have scoured the documentation and find them to be lacking the tutorial-like quality that idiots like me require. Can anyone recommend any online references? I have done the tutorial in the HP trailmap. Can't seem to find anything else. Ordered a book, but it will not be here for a while as it is not yet published, I just learned. Arggghhh.

Struts-config.xml
I hope someone can provide me a sample struts-config.xml snippet for my workflow stated as below: 1. A form is displayed to the user. The form has some fields with defaults values (i.e. current date etc) and blank fields 2. The form has the following actions permitted: SAVE (update/insert), DELETE and RESET 3. When the user SAVES, a form validate might restrict the save, a validation in the action class might restrict the save, database exception might restrict the save, or the save is successful. In all these cases, the user is displayed the same form with data entered by the user with a notification of the success or failure of the action at the top of the form. 4. When the user DELETES, on error the same form is displayed with the error on top. if successful, a blank form is displayed with a message on top informing the user that the delete was successful 5. When the user RESETS, a blank form is displayed with no messages on top of the form.

RE: Struts-config.xml
Thanks Ted, I checked the URL and I am doing something similar using
JavaScript. I have a question..
My forwards is as below
forward
name=update
path=/do/prospect/Store/
forward
name=reset
path=/do/prospect/Store/
forward
name=delete
path=/do/prospect/Store/
pls note all forwards are same
I do the following for a delete action now
if(action.equals(delete) success)
form.reset();
return mapping.findForward(request.getParameter(forward));
another scenario
if(action.equals(insert){
int success = data.insert(); //something similar
if(Constants.SUCCESSFUL)
errors.add(new
ActionError(error.save.successful));
else if (Constants.DATBABASE_ERROR)
errors.add(new
ActionError(error.save.databaseerror));
else if (Constants.GENERAL_ERROR)
errors.add(new
ActionError(error.save.systemerror));
}
return mapping.findForward(request.getParameter(forward));
Is there a better way?
Thanks.

A good trick here is to use a generic routing or relay action, so you
don't have to hardcode some type of switch into the Action. It's just one
line in the perform method:
return mapping.findForward(request.getParameter(forward));
This can be used any number of times in a Struts application, just by
changing the form bean and the local forwards in its mapping.
action
path=/prospect/Submit
type=org.apache.scaffold.http.RelayAction
name=prospectForm
scope=request
validate=false
forward
name=update
path=/do/prospect/Store/
forward
name=cancel
path=/do/prospect/Current/

What you are really asking is how to have different buttons fire
different actions.
There are several approach to this. The JavaScript approach is described
here:
http://jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=543699
There is also the new org.apache.struts.actions.LookupDispatchAction in
the nightly build.
Also in the contrib folder of the nightly build, there is a package
called scaffold with another standard Action,
org.apache.scaffold.http.FindForwardAction (my personal favorite).

RE: Creating reports in PDF format
Both the options iText and FOP does not work so well for creating large PDF files. You will end up with getting an Out of memory error. These option are good if you want to create a few pages. If this is not the case you should look into the various third party tools available. -Original Message- From: Jin Bal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 5:00 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Creating reports in PDF format There's a fairly obscure but useful japanese package called keisuken that contains an excel reader/writer - Original Message - From: Ajay Chitre [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Struts Users Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2001 7:20 PM Subject: RE: Creating reports in PDF format Thank you both - Fang Robert - for the info. I will look at both options - iText FOP. Looks like if I want to use FOP, I will have to create the report using XSL, right? How about Excel? In the past I have used a product called Bridge2Java from IBM to create a report in the Excel format. But as far as I know it only works on Windows based servers. My current web app is deployed on Unix box, so I don't think I can use Bridge2Java. I know this is probably going to sound stupid, but I have to ask - Is there a platform independent product that will allow me to create a report in Excel format? Once the report is created on the server I can let the user download it via browser. Has anybody done anything like this? Thanks again! -- Original Message -- Depends upon how complex the report will be. I have done some of this kind of transformation before. One API is iText, which you can find from http://www.lowagie.com/iText/. My experience with iText is that it has some bugs to deal with table if the table needs to span several pages. Other than that, it is pretty good. Also from Apache XML project, you can find FOP. FOP allows you to transform a XML-based document, normally *.fo file, into a PDF file.
