Re: Any hint of JQuery on struts2 tutorial, thanks!

2009-04-30 Thread Zoran Avtarovski
We¹ve been using jQuery in a Struts2 project without any real issues. We¹re
not using the plugin.

If you¹ve got your head around struts and jQuery, I don¹t see what the
problem is. Using jQuery with S2 is just like using jQuery anywhere. In fact
it¹s quite liberating not to be limited by the predefined tags.

 Thanks, actually I want more, like examples from this link:

 Is it durable for me to learn how to implement them in struts2?
 If there're online tutorial or book tutorial about this issue, it will be
 fantastic for me

Wes,
 When will the book be ready?  About a year ago, I tried the basic S2, 
Spring  Hibernate and I have the hardest of time to do things as the 
connection keep getting closed before I could update things.  Hopefully, your 
book will help me understand why that was.  I have been using S2, Hibernate  
Sitemesh which is doing OK for me.  Hopefully, you have some unit testing setup 
and strategy as that is my main weakness.

Yeah, I have quite a bit of JQuery coverage, but it's a moving target.
It is likely that we'll have a fair amount of JQuery integration
within Struts by the time the book is published (coincidence?) If you
join the MEAP program and read it as I go, there is at least one
chapter already with a decent JQuery + Spring + JPA example.

I've been ramping back up working on the book, so if you are in the 
publisher's early access program, you should start seeing new chapters soon. 

When you say Hibernate, are you using it as a JPA provider? I'd have to look, 
but I think I am using Hibernate in the book as the JPA provider (it's either 
Hibernate or OpenJPA). Are you currently using Spring? I can't really tell if 
you are saying that you are or aren't. If so, make sure you add the 
OpenEntityManagerInView filter (I think that's what it is called). The example 
app I have up on the google code site for the book has a set of spring configs 
that should work, although I don't know if it is the one I use with pooling. 
Let me know and I can post one that uses commons-dbcp for connection pooling. 
If you aren't using Spring there is an opensessioninview interceptor (or is it 
a filter?) in the struts wiki somewhere. Although Hibernate's session and 
JPA's EntityManager aren't exactly identical, the need for something to keep 
the session/entitymanager open while the view is rendering remains. 

Anyhow, I will have a section on unit testing in the book. I plan to cover 
basics of JUnit, but to give more details on the mock classes and helper 
classes like StrutsTestCase that can be helpful if you need the dispatcher 
initialized.

See my reply on JavaRanch. There's nothing particularly special about 
using jQuery with S2 if you're using plain old jQuery (no custom tags, 
etc.) although there's a plugin in the works that will handle simple 
use-cases.

JQuery is a JavaScript framework/library, so if you are using JQuery
with Struts2, then you are using JavaScript with Struts2. Depending on
how new you are to programming, there may be better places to start.
JQuery isn't similar to JavaScript, it is JavaScript in the same way
that Struts is Java. JQuery takes many of the things that are
difficult in JavaScript and makes them easier. You are still using
JavaScript, but rather than writing 20 lines of code, you write just a
few. Looking back through the ToC, I guess I don't make it clear that
there is JQuery coverage specifically, but as I mentioned before, the
examples so far are already using JQuery. It may be hard to pick
things up through the examples if you are not already experienced with
the other topics. The example I mentioned to earlier incorporates
Struts 2 with Spring, JPA, a generic DAO setup, JSON, Struts 2
Conventions and JQuery. If you've never used JPA or Spring, there
would be quite a bit thrown at you in one example.

Depending on your goal, there are a few other routes you might want to
take before jumping into an advanced book. If you are looking to learn
more about Struts 2, my book is a follow-up to another book called
Struts 2 In Action that is a very well-written introduction and
reference on Struts 2 core topics. If you are already familiar with
Struts 2, but want to learn more about AJAX, then start by learning a
bit about JavaScript core and AJAX... Manning has another book
(http://manning.com/crane/) that has been a good seller for them.

My book isn't meant to be a reference only on Struts 2 and AJAX. It is
meant to give examples and best practices for integration with many of
the popular topics that come up on this list. Plus, it will give
examples on more advanced topics that haven't come up yet, but will
(OSGi?)

 we can use JQuery in Struts2 as soon as we can use JavaScript in Struts2?

 JQuery is a JavaScript framework/library, so if you are using JQuery
 with Struts2, then you are using JavaScript with Struts2. Depending on
 how new you are to programming, there may be better places to start.
 JQuery isn't similar to JavaScript, it is JavaScript in the same way
 that Struts is Java. JQuery takes many of the things that are
 difficult in JavaScript and makes them easier. You are still using
 JavaScript, but rather than writing 20 lines of code, you write just a
 few. Looking back through the ToC, I guess I don't make it clear that
 there is JQuery coverage specifically, but as I mentioned before, the
 examples so far are already using JQuery. It may be hard to pick
 things up through the examples if you are not already experienced with
 the other topics. The example I mentioned to earlier incorporates
 Struts 2 with Spring, JPA, a generic DAO setup, JSON, Struts 2
 Conventions and JQuery. If you've never used JPA or Spring, there
 would be quite a bit thrown at you in one example.

Re: Any hint of JQuery on struts2 tutorial, thanks!

2009-04-28 Thread dusty

Perhaps you are looking for some basic tidbits you may commonly use:

a) Calendar pop-up
b) Ajax calls with JSON response from Struts
c) Simple element hide/show

Can you build a list like this of things you need to build your UI or are
you looking more for skill building sources?
