Fwd: RE: Global tag settings?
I'm not sure I understand what you are getting at but this is what I'd like to do: At the moment all of my textfield tags render with labelposition=top - the default. I'd like to make a global setting for all textfield tags such that the labelposition=left. Instead of having to call it out in every tag on every page (thousands in my case). All other parameters for all other tags could use the default labelposition - unless I specified otherwise in say the struts.xml;) Make sense?

Re: RE: Global tag settings?
I'm thinking thats the way it's currently intended to achieve what I want.

Re: passing params to action tag...
That makes sense. It was multi-line in older versions of WebWork with Velocity. So I'm still stuck trying to make this work Is there any documentation that I'm missing? How would one do this with a plain struts action tag?

(Struts 2, Velocity 1.5) Like this: #saction( id=vehicleAction namespace=/admin/fleet/vehicle name=search executeResult=true) #sparam(name=when value=now) #end I'd guess that due to Velocity issues the action tag is an inline tag (i.e., won't work with an #end). AFAIK only a few tags are multiline, like form. The source seems to confirm my suspicion. The issue is that the directives have to define up-front if they're inline or multiline, so for convenience most of the Velo tags are declared inline to handle the most common use-cases.

Right - duh. I knew that. So I guess it's just not possible using the velocity tag equivalent. I'll try digging into the source. Are the Struts 2 Velocity just not very popular and or supported?

Struts 2 - Velocity Tag reference
Hello, I'm using Struts 2 and Velocity 1.5/Tools 2.0-beta3 and trying to find a list of supported parameters in the velocity struts tags like: #stext or #slabel. For example, passing labelSeparator=- - does nothing. 'labelPosition' - likewise, does nothing. I've seen other posts relating to this issue: http://www.mail-archive.com/user@struts.apache.org/msg83661.html Of course I've looked in the struts documentation and don't see anything. Putting a '#s' in front of the tags listed here: http://struts.apache.org/2.0.14/docs/tag-reference.html, you would think that all of the parameters listed would be supported.

Using Old Velocity tags
Hello, I'm wondering if the older style velocity tags of the following form are still supported: - #tag( *tagname* label='login.submit' align=right ) - where *tagname *is something like TextField, Password or Submit. I have a hunch that there is some special configuration that is necessary considering that right alongside this tag call the standard #stextfield, #spassword or #ssubmit all work. Maybe someone can just throw me a link to where this kind of thing is documented? Thanks in advance.
Re: Using Old Velocity tags
Hello musachy, Thanks for the reply. I've read that link (along with lots of other docs on struts.apache.org) and was looking for a way to get the old tags to work. My client has an application that has hundreds and hundreds of .vm files all using that older syntax. I'd really like to avoid having to re-factor all of those files. Do you have any magic docs that you could point me to as to how struts works with Velocity? Or perhaps just some struts classes that I could look at? Cheers.

Older Velocity Tag support and custom tags / directives...
Hello all, I've got an older application built using xwork (1.x) and Velocity for all of the html presentation pages. It also made use of several custom velocity tags/directives that used the webwork based VelocityManager as well as the velocity.app.VelocityEngine to build Templates. On the actual .vm pages there is heavy use of the following formats: - '#tag( TextField ...' - type tags (as opposed to the newer '#stextfield(...' tags). - Custom tags like: '#tag( Component template=/templates/errorMessages.vm params.value=actionErrors )' - #tag( *tagname* value='login.submit' align=right ) - where the actual text for 'login.submit' is held in a properties file. So - I'd like to upgrade to struts2 but am having a heck of a time finding struts2 velocity specific documentation that will help me make the migration without having to re-write the hundreds of .vm pages the application has. I've looked at all of the struts documenction : http://struts.apache.org/2.x/ as well as playing with the showcase application. This information is great for someone starting off new but not that helpful for someone in my position. I've spent a couple of days messing with the velocity.properties, web.xml, struts.xml and struts.properties files but haven't had much luck. Is this possible? If so, I could sure use some Help! Thanks in advance. -- Carlo Latasa
