RE: Displaying an in-progress page while navigating from one page to another
I had problems doing this as gifs stop animating after a submit at least in IE the only env i tested. (assuming you submit to your action on first page and gif is located on same page and you go directly to destination page. what i ended up doing is finding an applet for my animation and using dynamic html to display the applet when the user clicks the submit button. the applet continues to animate until the page comes back from the submit and looks like a progress bar. -jm -Original Message- From: Prasad, Kamakshya [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2004 11:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Displaying an in-progress page while navigating from one page to another Hi All, In our system we have some pages which take lot of time to process because of the complicated back end logic. So, sometimes the navigation from one page to another page is very slow. What our client wants is to show an intermediate revolving gif with some informative text in it before the next page loads. What I heard that it's possible to put some links in header of HTML which can show an intermediate page before the next page loads. Could anyone let me know about HTML head option? We are using struts framework for our web tier. So I want to know if there are any options in struts to do so.

I'll keep my eyes out for that. I agree it sounds kind of vendor specific, but... How did your team get around that? Or are they still battling there? I'm curious, how did your portlets invoke the Struts actions?? Did you write a central (controller?) portlet, and have config files indicate which action it should call??

This rumbling is approaching more quickly than I fear Struts 2.0 (which I'm very excited about) is. I am wondering if anyone else has already dealt with this issue. I'd like to be able to re-use my existing forms, actions, and JSP pages to render the portlets as much as possible. It seems like there should be a fairly thin layer on top of struts that adapts the portlet environment to struts (or vice-versa). At kind of a low level, it seems that having a portlet's processAction method delegate to a specific struts action should be easy to do. Capturing the actionForward from it in the request scope so that the portlet's render method could simply include that page (forwards apparently "non-deterministic" according to the spec) also seems relatively trivial. There would have to be an obvious refactoring of the JSP pages to use the portlet tag's "actionURL" to generate action URLs for forms. So, who has converted a Struts based app to a portlet presentation method?? What were you able to reuse? What worked and what didn't?? What would you do differently if you had to do it over again? Obviously, I'd like to minimize refactoring (perhaps building adapters) and maximize reuse. :-) And when Struts 2.0 DOES come out, hopefully I've done nothing to preclude myself from returning to the fold, but that's kind of a low priority. Could a custom RequestProcessor that also implemented the Portlet interface do the job?? I just honestly don't know, and am hoping to leverage some communal experience.

RE: One Action class but more than one functionality
In our base action classes we have elected not to implement the execute method making them abstract actions instead. this way you can include protected methods in these classes to do validation and call them when needed. implementing exeucte method in base class seems too limiting. you could call super.execute() in your execute method but this is sloppy in my opinion. I would rather have a abstract super class. -Original Message- From: Joao Batistella [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 3:02 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: One Action class but more than one functionality That's right.

RE: One Action class but more than one functionality
we try to avoid the session as much as possible and wherever possible only pass information via url encoded params, hidden fields or with a class called ParameterActionForward it allows you to add request params to a forward. I originally found on the list and have reposted several times. We also use ted husted's tip http://husted.com/struts/tips/001.html so that we can place buttons on page that will indicate what action to take.. Using a combination of the buttons and the ParamActionForward allows us to respond to events without passing around an action param indicating the actions mode (similar to how the dispatch action would handle). -Original Message- From: Mark Lowe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 11:52 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: One Action class but more than one functionality Sure but I found that you need to always need to scope to session.

RE: One Action class but more than one functionality
we have found that implementing 1 action for add 1 action for edit etc... is better from the standpoint of maintainability. (it's easier to find the edit code if it's in the edit Action) we avoid code duplication by making abstract actions that contain the duplicated code ie. AbstractPersonAction - contains common code for person creation update delete, etc... AddPersonAction - add specific code EditPersonAction - edit specific code btw. we also try to keep 3 seperate jsps. this may seem like more work but the complications that can arise from having too many tags in your jsps to switch between modes outweigh the addition overhead of extra jsps in the long run. -Original Message- From: Joao Batistella [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 11:28 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: One Action class but more than one functionality Hello.

I think those are your two options. I guess if you don't have a shared database, and cannot use javascript, another option would be to set up a web service, tell the page you are redirecting to how to get data from there via the query string.

The problem with returning data on the query string is that I can easily exceed the 2k limit; using session variables won't work either because I can be called from separate instances of Tomcat or even IIS running on distinct servers.
