Re: Using Frames in Struts
Hello Jacob,
Thanx for the reply.
I will explain you the whole app. flow
1) The user selects an option on a page from where the request is forwarded
to a action class.
2) In the action class a hashtable of Categories is loaded and is forwarded
to the a Frameset that contains 2 frames one which shows 2 select box and
the 2 frame displays the result on selecting a item in the second select
box.
3) Now the user is asked to select a category on selecting a category a the
request is forwarded via a javascript to a categoryAction class.
4) In CategoryAction class all the assortments for the selected Category are
loaded and the request is forwarded to a the same main frame which contains
the 2 frames.
5) On selection of the assortment the request is forwarded to
AssortmentAction via javascript where all the sub Assortments are selected
and the result have to be displayed in the second frame.
Please Guide me with it.
the javascript code::
unction ChangeCategory()
{
document.categoriesForm.submit();
}
function ChangeAssortment()
{
assortmentForm.target=main;
document.assortmentForm.submit();
}

RE: Using Frames within STRUTS
Hi Devon, Thanks for your reply. I think that my understanding of the framework is sparse as I dont understand how this works. I have an app which collects insurance quote information. We are using an EJB to store the information as it is collected from the user on multiple screens. My starting point is /editQuoteSummary which looks up the EJB and populates the quotesummaryForm with default user data using the class com.libertymutual.lit.pca.EditQuoteSummaryAction. In my original version I then had the 'success' forwarding to a PCATable.jsp file (rather than PCAFrame.jsp as is shown below) which had 2 jsp includes(PCANavigation.jsp and PCAQuoteSummary.jsp), the latter of which had the definition for the form html:form action=/saveQuoteSummary.do. This seemed to work OK. !-- Edit quote summary -- actionpath=/editQuoteSummary type=com.libertymutual.lit.pca.EditQuoteSummaryAction name=quotesummaryForm scope=request validate=false forward name=failure path=/mainMenu.jsp/ forward name=success path=/PCAFrame.jsp/ /action !-- Save quote summary -- actionpath=/saveQuoteSummary type=com.libertymutual.lit.pca.SaveQuoteSummaryAction name=quotesummaryForm scope=request validate=false forward name=failure path=/PCAQuoteSum.jsp/ forward name=success path=/editPropertyQuestions.do/ /action Our user then wished to implement frames. So I changed the PCATable.jsp to a frames implementation (PCAFrame.jsp). However when I access the PCAFrame.jsp I get the following error in the frame asscociated with PCAQuoteSummary.jsp: Error 500 An error has occured while processing request:http://localhost/PCAWebAppEJB2/PCAQuoteSummary.jsp Message: Server caught unhandled exception from servlet [jsp]: Cannot find bean quotesummaryForm in scope request Can you see what I am doing wrong ?

For example, if I have a form within a JSP page (form.jsp) and that page is presented to the user within a frame (frame.jsp), how should I associate the ActionForm to the form.jsp within the struts-config.xml file. I want the app to navigate to the frame.jsp page but cannot associate the ActionBean to this jsp as it does not have a form tag. Is there a recommended solution ? Not sure I fully understand but here goes... When form.jsp starts generating the HTML for the form, it will look for an ActionForm from which it can get default values. The name it will use to look for this bean is defined in the struts-config.xml under the Action to which you will be submitting the form. So the ActionForm name is associated with the Action that receives it rather than the JSP that generates it. So the fact that the JSP that generates it is wrapped inside a frame isn't really an issue. There are at least two other possible problems, though: 1) If you want the previous Action to preload the ActionForm with some information (from a database, for example) you can do this by making your own ActionForm bean, filling it in, and then saving it in the session scope under the name which is declared in the Action that will receive it. It will then be found automatically when form.jsp generates the HTML. 2) If you choose to automatically validate the ActionForm, you need to specify the input page so that Struts can automatically send you back there in case of an error. I don't have experience with this but you should be able to specify your frame.jsp file as the input source. When it then renders form.jsp within, this inner page will still find the ActionForm in the context if it were the highest level page. Does that help? Devon
RE: Using Frames within STRUTS
Change the 'success' forward back to PCATable.jsp. To use frames, all you have to do is change your starting point, which should now be PCAFrames.jsp. In your PCAFrames.jsp, make sure you have a frameset that links to /editQuoteSummary, and not PCATables.jsp.

When it then renders form.jsp within, this inner page will still find the ActionForm in the context if it were the highest level page. Does that help? Devon
RE: Using Frames within STRUTS
I would like to make use of frames within my STRUTS application but am unsure how the framework handles frames. For example, if I have a form within a JSP page (form.jsp) and that page is presented to the user within a frame (frame.jsp), how should I associate the ActionForm to the form.jsp within the struts-config.xml file. I want the app to navigate to the frame.jsp page but cannot associate the ActionBean to this jsp as it does not have a form tag. Is there a recommended solution ? Not sure I fully understand but here goes... When form.jsp starts generating the HTML for the form, it will look for an ActionForm from which it can get default values. The name it will use to look for this bean is defined in the struts-config.xml under the Action to which you will be submitting the form. So the ActionForm name is associated with the Action that receives it rather than the JSP that generates it. So the fact that the JSP that generates it is wrapped inside a frame isn't really an issue. There are at least two other possible problems, though: 1) If you want the previous Action to preload the ActionForm with some information (from a database, for example) you can do this by making your own ActionForm bean, filling it in, and then saving it in the session scope under the name which is declared in the Action that will receive it. It will then be found automatically when form.jsp generates the HTML. 2) If you choose to automatically validate the ActionForm, you need to specify the input page so that Struts can automatically send you back there in case of an error. I don't have experience with this but you should be able to specify your frame.jsp file as the input source. When it then renders form.jsp within, this inner page will still find the ActionForm in the context if it were the highest level page. Does that help? Devon
