You're going about this the hard way. The solution involves XML and XSLT. The XML can be produced on the fly, while the XSLT doc is static. Taylor -Original Message- From: Sidhartha Jain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2002 8:17 AM To: Struts Developers List Subjec

RE: role based actions

2001-12-12 Thread Taylor Cowan
Struts is a J2EE add on, thus it should only be aware of J2EE concepts like "roles". J2EE provides security through the app server, and the concrete security scheme may be ldap, jdbc, or other means. Struts doesn't need security, it just makes use of J2EE security. I was just looking over Tomcat

RE: General model question ?

Perhaps we should move to the user list, not dev. but to answer briefly, ActionForm objects, for me, are strictly view layer. They get data from the view to my model, so they are like glue. They may perform some validation, like making sure a field is numeric or valid date. I place an "update"

I thought that you can use a custom tag as an attribute value for another tag, provided the attribute is designated within the TLD file as being true. Taylor - Original Message - From: "Lacerda, Wellington (AFIS)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 02, 2001 9:

I think this is a very good proposal.  I would not use the action identifiers.  They should just be methods of the listener interface:   public void beforePagerRendered(...) public void afterPageRendered(...)   This seems to be similar to filters, but 2.3 filters don't solve this problem for

If someone were to do as you suggest, then Struts would not be adding much to the Servlet specification, namely an HttpServletRequest. If getting values from a hashtable is all you want, use HttpServletRequest. HttpServletRequest is generic enough to handle all values, and like Perl, turns everyt

I don't know a lot about Cocoon, but I believe it is similar to Struts in that it has a "master" servlet which is awakened by requests matching a particular expression. In that sense they are mutually exclusive. Sometimes I'm tempted to consider the benefits of combining the two but I always end

The struts framework is constructed in a way that lends itself to some type of designer tool. It would be feasible to have a visual editor for "struts-config.xml", then when an action is selected the "perform" event is opened in an editor just like clicking on a button in a VB form. That's just

I suppose it is because the entire purpose of the J2EE spec is to get rid of conditional logic based on a vendor's app server.  On the app servers I deal with the underlying concrete classes implementing interfaces like HttpRequest are actually vendor provided.  You could use instanceof chec

Yes, it is true that regex cannot do everything. It's like perl and java. Perl is good for performing regex's on text files with a bit of logic here and there but for use in a content management system I find it just too limiting. A bit of Java would do this much better. Taylor - Original
