I think this list is great, and now that I'm slowly getting struts -- this week has been much better than last, I'm able to see it's power. I still haven't played with DynaAction forms, but if they can reduce the proliferation of forms classes I seem to have now.. more power to struts. Thank you (and to the rest of the list) for the patience w/ which you answer -- it makes the list and struts itself valuable. I normally wouldn't say this, but the author posted about whether or not a form's fields would be filled before validate() is called. My reaction was the same initially as several others on this list.. i.e. hmm.. hasn't he read the manual? I then recalled my frustrations in those early days w/ struts (just a few days back).. and I remember being unclear about several things. "what does the 'struts' framework do behind your back to make your life easy for you" would be a great topic in the documentation.. it sort of says that .. but that information is mixed in w/discussions about MVC2, and then other details .. so a 'just what the code does in 1.1b2' section would be great. Thankfully, I finally got my source debugger to work with it, so I've been setting breakpoints and learning. struts is actually quite simple -- once you see what it's doing. Just a suggestion. ps. when things work .. people don't ask such questions. It's when you read about bean:define or nested:text and then try it, and it throws an exception that shakes your mental models, that you need to map, cross-check your understanding with reality again.

Bravo Mr Smart man... It is much easier for you to just ignore the question, instead of attack people .. and everyone will be happy .. -Original Message- From: James Childers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 13 February 2003 20:42 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: validate() method is ActionForm I think I can safely say that that is the dumbest question I have ever seen on this list.

i agree that he should have read the manual and he should have searched the web and blah... but by the same measure, you could ignore his question if it irritated you. sometimes i have asked questions here and not gotten any responses. i don't know whether my questions are dumb or just off the wall. but attacking people like this, you are going to deter people from asking questions, which is what, i suppose, this forum is for. i can assure you there are things you don't know and might ask that someone somewhere out there might consider to be completely absurd and off the wall. having said that, i still think we should all try to read the API before posing questions. let's all keep up the good work. -Original Message- From: James Mitchell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2003 3:50 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: validate() method is ActionForm Normally someone might say "now now, that's not how we treat newbies".but it won't be me this time. How is it that you managed to be working on a struts application, and subscribed to this list, and ask THAT kind of question without (at least) opening a browser and searching the web or reading the user guide...or.ORrunning the examples that ship with the distribution Dude, here's your sign! -- James Mitchell - Original Message - From: "James Childers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2003 3:42 PM Subject: RE: validate() method is ActionForm I think I can safely say that that is the dumbest question I have ever seen on this list.
