In the Struts/JSP world there is Tiles. Tiles is a JSP Taglib and could be
described as a templating system or document assembler. You might be
able to get some ideas from it for use in Velocity. It seems quite
popular and successful within the Struts community.
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/dev_tiles.html

I also liked the article "UI design with Tiles and Struts" at
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-01-2002/jw-0104-tilestrut.html
It's JSP-focused and therefore not directly applicable to Velocity,
but it nicely present the various concepts to eliminate redudancy
in web pages by using templates.

It would be really great to have something like Tiles for Velocity.
That would be a cool contribution...

RE: Velocity-Tools / Struts

2002-02-19 Thread Matt Ho 

We've been using Struts/Velocity for some time now and we find it to be
an extremely well matched combination.  One of the main advantages of
Velocity is that the syntax is incredibly easy.  I can explain it to a
designer who has never seen it before and expect them to be useful
within an hour.

One of the nicest things it enforces is the separation of presentation
layer and business logic.  It removes the desire to "fix" problems but
just putting a small change into the JSP via scriptlets.  It also makes
the code a _lot_ more readable which also reduces the development time.

2002-01-22 Thread Martin Farrell 

hi

i have been looking at velocity periodically for a few months now, and
although i understand what it is trying to do (define a clearer separation
between controller and view) i felt that its big disadvantage was that it
introduced another language/syntax for a developer/designer to learn. In
view of this i decided to stay with struts, and occasionally resort to using
java scriptlets in my applications !-)

i would be interested in hearing other peoples opinions on this issue,
especially since struts can now integrate with velocity. i may be persuaded
to use velocity in my applications

thanks 

Martin

Re: Velocity-Tools / Struts

2002-01-22 Thread Arron 

Do you mean, serve a form in Velocity and have Struts interpret it?...

 From what I know (FWIK? :) Velocity is more of a "view" system. You can 
use Velocity and Struts at the same time, using Velocity as the "view" 
system in the Struts MVC paradigm.

They're alsmost complementary in a way, and a few people are putting 
some effort into getting them married in an elegant fashion.

Other mails in this list have focused on resources for this, so have a 
search around.

Re: Velocity-Tools / Struts

2002-01-22 Thread Will Spies/Towers Perrin 




I mean your example *displays* an array. Let's say I change your example
and instead of displaying an array I want to *edit* all elements in the
array and post the results up to struts. Here is a JSP struts example of
what we do:



  
 Employee Id 
 Client Id 
 Work Zip Code 
 Mail code 
 Delete 
  
  <%EmploymentForm empForm=(EmploymentForm)request.getAttribute
("employmentForm");%>
  <%for (int i=0; i < empForm.getData().getRows().length;i++) {%>
  

  


  


  


  


  

  
  <%}%>
  
 
 
 
 
 
  




  


    





We go outside the struts tags here because in the 1.0 version the iterate
tag does not do this properly ( but the struts engine does ). Note in the
above how elements are generated as index ( [n] ) elements. The
ActionForm's would contain indexed properties in order for this to work.


What would the velocity equivalent of the above look  like?

You mean like creating HTML output from the content of an array?

That's quite simple. Assuming you have a 'user' object with 'orders'
associated
with the session, the template might look like this:


#foreach ($order in $session.user.orders)
  
$order.nbr
$order.text
$order.amount
  
#end


...would create a table of all orders. Were are going to add more doc and
examples. For now you find more info on the Velocity home page at

You mean like creating HTML output from the content of an array?

That's quite simple. Assuming you have a 'user' object with 'orders' associated
with the session, the template might look like this:


#foreach ($order in $session.user.orders)
  
$order.nbr
$order.text
$order.amount
  
#end


...would create a table of all orders. Were are going to add more doc and
examples. For now you find more info on the Velocity home page at 
jakarta.apache.org/velocity/

It would be real helpful if this example include posting an array. Is this
even doable with velstruts?

It hasn't made it into the release yet, but the code is already working
and seems mature. It's just a matter of making the Struts elements
available as standard objects that Velocity can see.

Really ~very~ cool. You can download the sample application WAR here.

Re: Velocity-Tools / Struts

2002-01-21 Thread Will Spies/Towers Perrin 



On a hunch, I change the following JARs from

velocity-tools-struts0.1.jar
velocity-tools-view-0.3.jar
velocity-1.3.dev.jar

to

velocity-tools-struts0-1.jar
velocity-tools-view-0-3.jar
velocity-1-3-dev.jar

and it deployed. WebLogic must look for *.jar The other dots messed up it's
scan.

Will,
I just downloaded the .war as well and tested it on a Tomcat 4.01
installation. Everything works flawlessly. The class that it's
complaining about is included in WEB-INF/lib/velocity-tools-view-0.3.jar

What is special about WebLogic 6.1SP2 that it cannot find this class?
Would it find the class if it's not contained in a jar? Maybe try to
unwrap velocity-tools-view-0.3.jar below WEB-INF/classes/

If anything about web development is difficult then it's these deployment
issues...
