Re: Is there a recommended User Help Framework?
Something that was compatible with Mozilla might be cool. http://www.mozilla.org/projects/help-viewer/ The Digester could be used to turn RDF files into JavaBeans, as is done with the Struts config. Ideally, there could be a core package that could be used with any Java web app and then an optional package that adapts it to Struts. The core could live in the commons, like the Validator. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY US -- Developing Java Web Applications with Struts -- Tel: +1 585 737-3463 -- Web: http://husted.com/about/services Ken Fitzpatrick wrote: Is there a recommended Help System Framework for Struts applications?

Re: Is there a recommended User Help Framework?
Reading the Mozilla article and not being familiar with RDF/XML, I found it difficult to grasp what the framework actually is. Would you correct any of my following assumptions if they're wrong, please? Any help text would appear in a pop-up window much like a normal browser window with sidebars for a table of contents, an index, a search for that help app. The help app would consist of a directory of RDF/XML files (or would it be one only?) but I'm not sure where they would be - local to the browser for Mozilla probably, but what about other help apps? Any help text item would have an ID that identifies a node in a RDF/XML file. This ID can be used from the index, the TOC or context-sensitively. The help text is in HTML form in a file(s?) presumably on the server and the RDF/XML specifies an anchor tag in the HTML to display. I didn't get your (Ted's) reference to javabeans.

That's a pretty good idea. Let me know if you would like any help.

RE: Is there a recommended User Help Framework?
Include me too if you need help. Some ideas: 1. This could include search capabilities. 2. Context sensitive help? 3. ??
