I just committed changes to the template:put tag and the template tld. The
tag
works exactly like it did before, but now you can put direct content in the
body
of the put tag.

If the put tag has body content:

1. You can't have a content attribute. (the tag body is the content)
2. You can't specify direct='false'. (tag body content is printed directly)

The tag will throw an exception if either of those conditions are violated.

 Hi,

 For a trial, we modified the template code so that a template:put tag
with
 NO "content" attribute took its content from the tag body.  A
template:put
 with a "content" attribute took its content by including the file named by
 the content attribute.  This did away with the "direct" attribute
entirely.

 The only small issue was what if you had both content attribute and tag
 body.  An exception could be thrown.  We just ignore the body, making it
 clear in the documentation that this is what happens.

 We can send our code if that would help.

 We found the template:ExtPut tag extension provided by Oleg V Alexeev
very
 useful. Is there a plan to incorporate it into Struts 1.0 ?

Subject:  Templating Mechanism

After reading the User Guide, I am not sure if Struts does have a Templating
Mechanism or not.
By that I mean one (or 2 or 3) that defines the basic structure of the site
in 3 (for example) parts : a header, the left panel and a body.  This
template will always be the jsp:forward and have two jsp:include to include
the two static (for example) header and left panes pages and one jsp:include
that would get a parameter from the request to now which page to include.
Something similar to the PetStore example.

I like that because it push a lot of DIV or LAYER HTML code in only the
template page.

Is it possible ?

I just updated the documentation on the website http://jakarta.apache.org/struts
