I've tried it with the latest nightly build. And it works fine.

Thanks.

[tiles] tiles:insert not working for relative path

[Volker Krebs]

Hello,

I've just updated our system from struts-1.1b2 to struts-1.1rc1.
It seems that  only works for an absolute Path now.

is working while

is not working.
MyJSP.jsp is in the same Directory the other JSP is.
Can anyone confirm that ? I didn't find a bug entry for that.
Or has something changed in RC1 ?
Thanks.

Hi,

ActionForm Instance when using DynaBean

[Volker Krebs]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the new DynaActionForm.
It's really good, and makes your Application
even more dynamic.

But I don't know how to make a new
Instance of an ActionForm in my Action.
I can't find the appropiate methode in
ApplicationConfig or elsewhere.

For me this is necessary when an Action is
called without a formBean. The ActionForm
Parameter is null in this case. With 'normal' form Beans this
is no Problem, I can find the class name and
use Class.forName() to get an Instance, but how
to do it with DynaBeans ?

What I'm missing is something like a
ActionForm Action.getFormBeanInstace() method.

thanks

Volker

Hi,


take a look at the format Attribute from .

You have to download the nightly Build, it's not in Struts 1.01.

We have the same propblem in our Application, and it can only
be solved with a proper workflow mechanism.
At the moment we use a session variable that has to be
set before invoking an action, which stores the name of the
page where we came from.
Or we pass the name of the calling action
as a parameter, so that we know where to get back.
But this is all workarround, you need a workflow framework here.

search for 'action chaining' in the struts-user list at
http://www.mail-archive.com and you'll find among others
this:

Re: Passing variables with the tag, how do I do this?

Hi,

I've read this in the struts examples that come with the source code.
<%
   java.util.HashMap newValues = new java.util.HashMap();
   newValues.put("para1", "value1");
   newValues.put("para2", bean1.getAttribute1();
   pageContext.setAttribute("paras", newValues);
%>

   


You put all your parameters in a hashmap an pass it to the
 tag.

I would prefer something like this:

   
   


but this is still not in the stuts source, I guess.

Re: action chaining without resetting action forms

Hello Ted,

I've finally managed to test it. I had to integrated
in the newest nightly build, because we are using
some new tags. But after that it worked fine in our Application.

It still has to be integrated in the ActionServlet for
tiles (ActionComponentServlet), and the invokeAction method
has to become public.

I would appreciate if this would be committed.

thanks,

Sorry, but with your patched struts.jar my Application
won't deploy.
NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/struts/action/ActionMessages
I'm using Tomcat 3.2.3 on Win2000.
Also I had to make the invokeAction Method public.

But the solution Paul Devine suggested:
return action2.perform(  );
is almost what I wanted to do. (Pass a diffrent formBean with my
action).

I'm intrested, can you please post a patched JAR.
We are doing some Action chaning in our application.

In our Application this works fine. If I forward from one Action 

to another Action,

the form Bean is still known in the second Action.
But this might be, because both Actions use the same FormBean
in their struts-config name tag as default FormBean.

Multiple Parameters for html:link

[Volker Krebs]

Hello,

I've read about a custom tag where I can pass multiple
Parameters to the html:link tag without using HashMap.

http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org/msg01695.html

Are there any plans including it in struts ?
I think its quite usefull.

Is there a newer version which can handle
<:img> <:property> <:name> ?

Thanks

Volker
