Re: Multiple controller servlets

These wouldn't exist as such on the ActionResource interface I suggested. These are really just shortcuts to the API for the underlying resources, like formBeans.addFormBean(formBean); So, if someone wanted to do them through an ActionResources object, they could do the same thing actionResour

RE: Multiple controller servlets

Ted, There are a number of public methods on ActionServlet right now like: addDataSource addFormBean addForward addMapping Some of them are used in various actions package classes to do things dynamically. I'm guessing that there are deployed Struts apps out there which also use these methods a

Re: Multiple controller servlets

I had originally thought we might start posting an ActionResources object in the request, so it would be there when we started to refactor the tag extensions, and also for the use of other presentation systems like Velocity templates. So, for a time, it would really be redundant, and could just ge

RE: Multiple controller servlets

Ted, The stepwise refinement sounds like a reasonable way to go. I've got a good chunk of one definite piece of that done - a "resource repository", which would implement most of your proposed interface (it has no knowledge of requests at present); and a "config handler", which reads servlet init

RE: Proposal for form-based security

We're definitely looking at doing something similar as well, so the interest level is definitely here though we haven't had the chance yet to define an implementation. BTW, I noticed that Websphere v4 uses Struts for its Administrator Console! Does that mean that Websphere could be added to the "

The standard ActionForward and ActionInclude Actions create a RequestDispather in the Action, and do call another servlet directly, without going back to the container. http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/api-1.0/org/apache/struts/actions/ForwardAction.html I recently suggested some additional met

Re: FW: Opinion on design ideas???

No, the question is entirely independent from velocity. There are many possibilities to render a view. E.g. Maverick "domifies" a data structure and gives it to an XSL transformer, etc. What I was wonder was simply the WRAPPING of the view helper. To me it seems to be natural to hide (and make it

Re: Well-formed markup.

It's not a pressing issue. I'm writing some interface XSL's that perform transformations on HTML forms. Part of the incentive of choosing XSL over a custom tag library is that I can make them work with both Struts (which I'm trying to get my team to move to) or regular forms. For this to work,

Re: FW: Opinion on design ideas???

If the one and only goal is getting Struts to use Velocity templates, then, yes, a VelocityAction is going work every bit as well as a VelocityServlet. And maybe that's the way to go. A developer could choose to either extend it, or maybe just forward to a base VelocityAction that did what the Vel

The Struts PropertyUtils is now deprecated: all further developement is done within the commons beanutils project. Future Struts release after 1.0.x will use the new commons library. If you really want this feature with Struts 1.0.x, see this posting: http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-dev@jakarta

If you were able to patch a copy of ActionServlet, and run them through some of your use cases, that would help move them along. I could provide a patched jar based on the nightly build if that would help. These compile, but haven't been tested: public ActionForm createActionForm(String path)
