hi I am interested in this type of grid functionality too, in order to save users having to keep going to a different screen to enter/change information. I like the look of dbforms, but it seems more of a RAD tool, plus because i am using struts i want my application to be reliant on the struts mvc and this runs off its own servlet.
One possible solution to the grid problem in struts would be to limit the size of the entries on a page - eg a 2 * 2 grid <table> <tr> <td>Name</td> <td>Surname</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="text" name="name1" ></td> <td><input type="text" name="surname1"></td> </tr> </tr> .... <tr> <td><input type="text" name="namen" ></td> <td><input type="text" name="surnamen"></td> </tr> </table> then set up a ActionForm to collect the n params getName1()/setName1() ... getNamen()/setNamen() Then you could collect the values into the fields, and use the Action.perform to control/track the number displayed. I admit its messy but at least it allows you to stay within struts for a centralised overall design? The only problem being that the form could end up huge - but hell i could live with that That all said i would be interested in peoples views on dbforms because it looks a great RAD tool. i would also be interested in hearing other peoples views on this problem Thanks Martin -----Original Message----- From: Tom Klaasen (TeleRelay) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 18 January 2002 10:04 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Grid > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: vrijdag 18 januari 2002 10:21 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Grid > > > Hi everybody, > > I'm a new struts-user and i'm wondering if it's really the > product that i'm looking for : > Is this product abke to display grid (with paging)? in rows? > in columns? both? I think you're looking for http://www.dbforms.org. Let me know if it's good, since I'm also planning to use it :-) > If yes, does somebody have an example? > Where can i have the complete list of tags provided with > struts, because i have just found a javadoc.. Look harder. It is on http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/, just under the links you clicked :-P > does domeone know dotj? is it more powerful than dotj? nope. tomK -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ** For great Emap magazine subscription & gift offers visit http://www.emapmagazines.co.uk ** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this email is intended only for the addressee(s) named above.
