Subject: Struts and Data/Presentation Separation

Hello all,

 

We are considering employing a solution that would enable us to store
data
in an XML format, and use XSL to format the data into various document
types
- html, text, pdf, etc.  We intend to have a transformation engine
located
within our web application, and when a request is made for a resource
the
associated XML is transformed for the response to the client.  A caching
mechanism is something we would likely employ to increase performance.

 

Can anyone assist us with the following?

 

1.  Are there any suggestions or best practices on how to implement
this
within the Struts framework?
2.  Would it make sense to use a product like Resin?  If so what are
the
benefits and drawbacks of doing so?
3.  Are there any suggestions for creating form based HTML pages to
manage the content of the xml docs?

 

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

What does your Application.properties file look at?

Subject: Validator Framework, WHAT's UP 


 I'm using the 1.1 validator framework. I have activated the validator 
pluging correctly, because I can see the validations
from the validation.xml file being displayed on the output from the 
app-server. I know that the validations themselves are working as per 
the validations that I set up in validation.xml, because when I enter in 
unwanted data. I get returned to the page that I was currently entering 
in data into. That's all fine. But, I'm not gettting any error messages 
displayed in my JSP, even though I'm including the 
tag. Someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong.


Thanks in advance.

Focus Question?

2004-05-23 Thread bensifuentes
Currently, I have a function defined within my DynaValidatorForm which
checks the elements of the form and returns the first element which contains data so 
that I can place a focus call on the field like so:
#=
# Code snip 
#=
// Check if a field has content in it
private boolean hasContent(String id) {
return StringUtilities.hasContent((String) get(id));
}

// Retrun the first field with data in it
public String getFirstSearchedField() {
if (hasContent(LAST_NAME)) {
return LAST_NAME;
}

if (hasContent(FIRST_NAME)) {
return FIRST_NAME;
}

.
.  // more of the same
.

// Default is last name
return LAST_NAME;
}

=

I would like to do this same type of thing for every form generically.  Is there any 
way
in struts to retrieve a container of elements defined for the form. It seems to me the 
problem would be determining the order.

There needs to be a sort order for the items that should match what the
user see's from the jsp. How would one accomplish this?

We use the tabindex with our tags within our jsp. 

I was wondering if we can get access to it from the form? That would help determine 
the display order of the elements if it were available. 

Anyone know how to accomplish this?

Hi Paraman!

Maybe I'm wrong, but if I remember right, it sets the property of the ActionMapping.

struts-validator - Using constants in property attribute

2004-05-23 Thread Axel Groß
Hi there!

Got a small problem with the constants in the validation.xml, which I
couldn't solve using the docs and google.

What I do is using the validator for indexed properties and using javascript
to jump to the right field, if somebody clicks on the errormessage.


validation.xml:
 
systemcurrentProfile[0]
..
 

this works fine (it validates currentProfile[0]), BUT 
the validator stores the error messages under ${system} and not under
currentProfile[0], which I think is not the right thing.
And I need to get currentProfile[0], as I need to jump the field...

Anyway, is there a way to tell the validator to store it under another name
or kind of switching substituting constants on??

Sure I could just stop using the constant there, but I'd loose in
maintenance.

Looking forward to suggestions,
thanks
Axel
