status messages in html:link tag

2005-03-31 Thread Fumo, Vince
I want to implement a status message on a rollover for some of my links. I
was considering doing something like:

html:link href=http://www.google.com; target=_blank
onmouseover=window.status='Go go google';return true

which works fine. 

However, what I really want to do is pull the status message from my struts
message-resources bundle for I18N. The only way I can think to do this is to
use a scriptlet like :

html:link href=http://www.google.com; target=_blank 
onmouseover=window.status='% getMessage(message.key);%';return true

2 questions...

1) is this the best way to do this?
2) if so, what can I use in the scriptlet (the getMessage() is fictional) to
access the message?

Thanks for your patience..

Off the top of my head, you could try something like this -

bean:define id=rollOverText type=java.lang.Stringbean:message
key=my.key //bean:define
html:link href=http://www.google.com; target=_blank
onmouseover=window.status='%=rollOverText%'; return true;...

2005-03-31 Thread Fumo, Vince
ok follow-up and I'm sure this one will take 2 seconds to answer.. 

part 1) is there a JSTL way to do the bean:define? 
part 2) What does it mean when the status message from the below code by Bob
comes out as a literal (i.e.. %=rollOverText%) instead of the string it
represents? I've checked the scriptlet outside of the tag and it outputs
correctly. I'm thinking that the html:link tag isn't pre-processing the
scriptlet?

RE: Struts + Spring or Struts versus Spring

2005-03-30 Thread Fumo, Vince
Don't know if it's appropriate to do this, but I am adding my 2c as well.
I've been using Spring and Hibernate with Struts for some time now and have
found it to be excellent. If you are the book type, there is a very good
book on Spring from Apress titled Pro Spring that covers the entire
framework quite well.

In short, what Ted said.

More elaborately, I've been using Spring with a 
lot of Struts web apps, and I'm very happy with 
the combination.  Spring does a whole lot more 
than Struts ever wanted to do, and you can use as 
much or as little of it as you like.

And even though Spring MVC exists as a 
self-contained webapp framework, they also have 
some nice Struts-specific support, including base 
Action classes which are aware of Spring and 
going as far as an alternate RequestProcessor 
which supports using Spring as an Action factory 
where the Actions it creates are wired with 
references to your business expert 
collaborators.

http://www.springframework.org/docs/api_1.2/org/springframework/web/struts/p
ackage-summary.html

The Spring WebFlow project also looks promising. 
This too comes with some Struts support.

Spring is a large project with several components. The Spring Core
works just fine with Struts. You can use it to instantiate your
business objects from Struts Actions.

Aside from Spring Core, the Spring project also includes a Spring MVC
component. Spring MVC does overlap with Struts. Spring MVC is a fine
framework. Use whichever one works best for you.

Yes, Struts + Spring + hibernate (or iBATIS) is an excellent approach.

  replaces the action servlet and has his own Controller. What do you

  Spring is compatible with Struts?, is better Struts than Spring? is

using fmt:message with Tiles and Struts

2005-03-25 Thread Fumo, Vince
I am building a Struts Web application and I'm using Tiles for the first
time. I have it all set up and working nicely. My problem comes in the fact
that I want to use a standard messages.resources file for my page titles. 

For example

home.title=Main Home Page
info.title=Intro Page

etc.

I am used to setting the bundle at the top of the page like:

fmt:setBundle basename=messages/

and then directly accessing keys as follows:

fmt:message key=home.title/

however I am now using tiles so what I had hoped was to use a tiles
attribute to pass the key :

  definition name=.home extends=.baseDef
put name=titleKey  value=title.home /
  /definition

and then use the key in the tile like:

fmt:message key=${titleKey}/

however, nothing I've tried has worked (including just trying the
fmt:message tag w/o using Tiles like :
c:set var=titleKey value=home.title/) . 

For some reason, the fmt:message tag refuses to accept expression values. 

Can anyone offer me a best practice on how to handle this? Or at least solve
my problem?

RE: using fmt:message with Tiles and Struts

2005-03-25 Thread Fumo, Vince
That was close to the first way I went about it. I did the following:

tiles:useAttribute name=titleKey scope=page/

and then I was able to access the key just fine ( I did a test of c:out
value=${titleKey} / and got home.title), proving that the problem
wasn't in the way I was using the tiles attribute. 

For some reason, when I plugged in :

fmt:message key=${titleKey}/

I got the usual ???${titleKey}??? message from the fmt:message tag

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong somewhere. I even tried just doing the
following as a test:

c:set var=titleKey value=home.title/
fmt:message key=${titleKey}/
fmt:message key=home.title/

and I got the following:

???${titleKey}???
Main Home Page

You need to import the Tiles attribute before you reference it:

I'm assuming you mean the jar? It's just the usual jstl.jar and the tld is
fmt.tld

hnm.. I just looked at the tld and I've got class names like :

tag
description
Maps key to localized message and performs parametric replacement
/description
namemessage/name
tag-classorg.apache.taglibs.standard.tag.rt.fmt.MessageTag/tag-class


I'm assuming now that I somehow am using the wrong tld.. if I am, can you

Ah. Yes, that's the problem... The tag is the rt version (run time) which
does not accept expressions. 

JSTL comes with 2 sets of tags. One el (expression-language) and the other
rt (runtime), which allows scriplets to be entered into tags.

Download them here:
