Re: struts-html question.... puzzling problem...
thank you all very much for your help.. finally got it to work w/struts 1.1 (I had tried earlier version before, but 1.2.9, since hadn't been able to find 1.1) now need to deal w/WAR-file thing, unfortunately don't know how to unpack/deploy WAR files.. I tried about a year ago to learn to use WAR files, couldn't get it to work.. there is indeed a struts-documentation.war in the 1.1 download.. found WAR-file instructions for example here, http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=123229, but it's for tomcat 3.2.. I hope this will work on Tomcat 5.5 (since struts 1.1 is rather old..) can I assume url for docs then will be struts-documentation/index.jsp? how exactly does this WAR-thing work??? :) again, thank you very much..

From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of maya how exactly does this WAR-thing work??? This may not be your best approach to learning JEE. Have you considered getting a book that discusses JEE and moving on to Struts from there? Dave - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [OT] RE: Re: struts-html question.... puzzling problem...
thank you very much for your help.. I'm a developer, mostly front-end (but very experienced) also know Java programming (and JSP/back-end), I started learning Java about three years ago and I like programming a lot.. know very well how to use Tomcat, servlets, etc.. started a new job a few months ago where I use struts, I have no problems at work, since deal mostly w/front-end (custom tags, etc..) but since I also have an interest in programing, and do have back-end experience, want to learn struts from the ground up, i.e., want to be able to create a complete app from scratch w/struts (write the classes, everything..) and thus as a learning exercise want to write my own little CMS with struts for uploading/displaying photos (could do this every easily in way I'm used to, namely putting all processing code in JSP itself, but do want to learn how to do it with struts..) the WAR-file thing has really eluded me.. but now have no choice but learn how to deal w/it since otherwise won't be able to look @ docs for struts 1.1 would appreciate some suggestions.. thank you very much..

struts-html question.... puzzling problem...
hi, I'm following chapter 3 of Wrox Struts book (Professional Jakarta Struts) to the letter.. using struts 1.3.5, Tomcat 5.5/1.4... get TLD-related error on index.jsp (entire zipped-up webapp (small, virus-free...:) here... www.mayacove.com/java/strutsWrox.zip) did index.jsp, and the classes, all following instructions in the book, the classes (LookupForm and LookupAction) compile fine.. put all packages (.jar's) from Jakarta Struts download where they belong (WEB-INF/lib..) in index.jsp is this tag: html:form action=Lookup name=lookupForm type=ch03.LookupForm I looked in struts-html.tld itself, one thing I note is that under form tag there are no attributes defined for either name or type, only for action (which can also be seen here, http://struts.apache.org/1.3.5/struts-taglib/tlddoc/html/tld-summary.html) so am a bit puzzled here one thing I also noted is that JSP servlet for index.jsp is non-existent (when look in tomcat/work/ don't see either index_jsp.java or index_jsp.class..) i.e., JSP for some reason is not even being read by container..) I have in struts-config.xml: form-beans form-bean name=lookupForm type=ch03.LookupForm / /form-beans action path=/Lookup type=ch03.LookupAction name=lookupForm/action in LookupAction.java: LookupForm lookupForm = (LookupForm)form; (this is confusing: so lookupForm is name of form but also an instantiation of the other class in the package...(??) would much appreciate some help.. thank you.. (posted a question on Wrox's website relevant forum about two days ago but have gotten no response..) thank you very much. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: struts-html question.... puzzling problem...
Hi, In long time back..., it was requried to use those attributes of the html:form tag.. but i you dont need them now for sure.., i think you book may be some bit old. for your second question.., the one you defined in the struts-config.xml.., that lookuForm name will be used by the framwork to keep the instance of the ch03.LookupForm in the request, for instance.., and in your action class its just a variable name that will used inside the action class itself.. hope this would help U.

Dave thank you very much.. yes, the book uses 1.1.. I can't find any book that uses later versions, no 1.1 download on Jakarta site.. this is all very puzzling and confusing.. and Wrox, unlike oreilly, there's no e-mail contact for the authors (the few times I have written to oreilly authors I have always gotten a response... oh well...) thank you... need to learn struts, what to do? really can't find any book that covers 1.3.5.. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
