Using Struts/JSP template from within a class/batch process
We have a need to generate a run of HTML files, like a letter or print batch. We also need to be able to (in real time), generate said reports/letters. Our infrastructure is Struts, so my lean is to create a struts page with a JSP template for the on-demand letters and reports. The question is what to do about the batch, then? I can picture ways to do this such as doing an HTTP request and hitting the action, retrieving the HTML and sending that to the printwriter. I was wondering, though, if anyone had done something similar and had come up with a more elegant solution. The coder that came before me actually started this part of the project by generating HTML from a Java class. Now I'm taking over for his work and being told to do the on-demand side. I would like to get the generated HTML out of this monster class with a giant stringbuffer and have one JSP template handle the formatting. I just can't come up with the proper way for the batch process/java class to make use of said template.

RE: [S1] The proper way to define taglibs in a jsp file
Nevermind. I figured it out. It's a WAS problem. You have to use the full URI in the Web.xml if you want to use it on the JSP page in the taglib declaration. So like this. http://struts.apache.org/tags-bean /WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld Preston -Original Message- From: Crawford, Preston [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 23, 2007 10:33 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: [S1] The proper way to define taglibs in a jsp file This is really strange. So it works if I reference the taglibs as defined in the web.xml (i.e. define /bean in the web.xml and then declare the taglib in the JSP referring to that uri).

Ah, thank you very much. I have never had to use those. I went straight from Struts 1.1 to other frameworks, now I'm back on Struts, so I must have missed that phase or else wasn't doing configuration at the time. I suppose that means I don't need anything in the struts-el directory, then. Including jstl.jar as it would be natively part of the container. I'll have to try that out.

That's my impression, the part about not being able to find it locally. Part of what I was thinking of doing is not having the tld's locally available.

I'm not sure that that's what the URI really does; they *look* like URLs but I think they're just look-up values to find the corresponding TLD.

[S1] The proper way to define taglibs in a jsp file
So I'm helping my company clean up some JSP files, things like that and I'm seeing declarations like this. <%@ taglib uri="/bean" prefix="bean" %> <%@ taglib uri="/html" prefix="html" %> Now I know there is a way to do these same declarations (we're on struts 1.2.9) without actually having to install the TLDs into our build process. I've been Googling to figure out the "right" way, but I'm finding different URLs. So I thought I'd ask if someone knew what the proper way to declare these ways or point me in the direction of a site for 1.2.9 so that perhaps I could make these declarations without having to declare the URI in web.xml, etc. Preston CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

RE: Does struts 1.2.x or 1.3.x support the attribute "autocomplet e" f or forms?
Thanks for the information. I think I will stick with Struts 1.1 for now,
then. We have the opportunity at some point on a later project to perhaps do
a Struts 2 migration. I think it's probably wiser to implement the
Javascript way of handling this for now and save the Struts migration
(sometimes you only get one shot at these every X amount of years) for
giving Struts 2 a look if it fits our needs.

No its not supported in any version - Struts only supports attributes that
are in the HTML 4 spec and has a policy of not adding non standard
attributes.
> #2 - If so, which version?
The tags were refactored in Struts 1.2.7 to make creating custom
implementations and adding additional attributes easier. So if you are going
to upgrade then this would be your only option. If you want to do this in
the form tag then something like the following:
public MyFormTag extends FormTag {
protected void renderOtherAttributes(StringBuffer results) {
renderAttribute(results, "autocomplete", "off");
}
}
In the other form "input" tags the equivalent method is
prepareOtherAttributes()
For notes on upgrading and the issues you'll face then there are upgrade
notes on the wiki:

I'm working on a project that uses Struts 1.1. So I have a few questions. #1 - Is autocomplete supported in later version of Struts 1? #2 - If so, which version? I know there are ways to do this with JavaScript. Trapping the enter keydown, etc. and doing a submit. I'm doing that currently. The problem is that I'm trying to avoid attaching the onkeydown event to the body, as many examples have you do, because doing this means that even if you're not inside the form you can just hit enter and submit the form. So you have to attach the onkeydown event to every form field or else somehow check to see if the event was fired by a form element. I'm just trying to support this functionality (enter key submits the form while in the form, but doesn't save any of the fields' data) with minimal headache. It's starting to look like going to autocomplete=off might be better, thus my question.
