Title: Struts Action Graphs

Derek,

 

          That is super cool. I showed a graph to my lead designer (of the struts_config.xml we are using in our project) and he was jumping up and down with joy. Kudos to your XSL .  One question i have is... can it be colorcoded ? I would like the jpeg image to have some fancy colors in it.. maybe just for the image, the struts-config.xml file can have additional properties like color codes for different kinds of objects. 

 

cheers,

Amar..

Hi everyone,

I have created some XSL that takes the (old) action.xml and (new) struts-config.xml files and produces a graph showing the various forwards, forms, actions, etc. You can then use dot to convert the graph into an image.

I threw together a website where you can check this out at:

It isn't quite as enlightening as I thought it would be, but certainly produces interesting pictures. :-) This is primarily due to the fact that the struts-config.xml doesn't hold all the information. I think to produce a better overview you would have to also parse the corresponding JSPs for their tags, and maybe even the action classes themselves.

Let me know if you have comments, bugs, whatever.

Thanks, Derek.
