RE: Workflow Support Proposal

Craig, Your Workflow Proposal seems like a great start. Several of us have played around with some workflow concepts on our current project but it would be great to have something integrated into Struts. We have a few concepts that weren't mentioned that we think are worth considering: - "boo

Suggestions on and tags

It would be useful to have an 'alt' attribute on tag. eg.   There are two uses: In case Struts fails to find the message/resource, it can display the default label (and display a warning on the console). For design-time tools (eg. Dreamweaver), it will be easier for the tools to display some me

Two questions. Has anybody made a JSP 1.1 version of the jsptl? The documentation mentions that this may be considered (I think), but I couldn't find anything in the newsgroups regarding this. Has anybody played with modifying Struts tags to use the expression language? If not, I may take

There is an html:messages tag that is basically the same as html:errors except it iterates over messages and errors so you can remove the html from the message resources. There are the classes ActionMessages and ActionMessage for general messages like "Record has been deleted.". ActionErrors is

Sounds very good. Addresses my concerns, as well. It would be nice if the two concepts, Activity and Process, had similar grammars for specifying them. This is only because they seem to me to be such similar concepts. The context as you outline is fine. This functions exactly the same way I h

The initial version of the proposal is focused on the Activity and Step components (we refined the vocabulary a little based on feedback -- there is now a distinction between Process and Acivity). Activity is more for things that are relatively short term, and involving only a single person (such

Yes. This is exactly the reason I proposed the addition to the schema a few days ago. If you are persisting the state across a workflow, you have to have some method of retrieving the state. My thought was to identify each FormBean (the data that creates the state of the workflow) by a unique

I think a new tag that allows you to not put HTML in your resource file already exists in post 1.0 Struts in the form of the tag. It can be used in place of . The errors class is now a subclass of a message class. -Original Message- From: Martin D Bayly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: W

Enhanced errors tag

2001-08-15 Thread Martin D Bayly
A useful enhancement to the tag would be to have a single message header/footer as well as an error block header and footer. This enables you to keep your message strings free of html markup such as the shown in the examples. eg. errors.header=Validation ErrorYou must correct the following e
