This isn't really a struts question, but is i imagine a typical scenrio when attempting to use struts with older systems.
I'm using a legacy cms system were some genius, executing a 'code before think' policy, thought it sage to generate sql tables rather than just storing data in them.
Does anybody know any clever ways I can get around this.. ?
At the moment I'm using the jdbc metadata which provides a reasonable interface to site builders. i.e i read the meta data along with the results into a hash and make an array of hashmaps with column names as keys. Then the array is fed to the request etc..
e.g.
<logic:iterate id="jism" name="thesqltablename">
<bean:write name="jism" property="fieldname" /><br />
</logic:iterate>
But i don't like this (although it does work), I'm also running into problems when having to return the contents of two tables to my page. As i have don't have all the gets and sets in my beans (because i don't know ahead of time what the fields are).
Has anyone had any similar problems to solve? Is there a nicer way of doing this?
Many thanks
