Re: How to use dynamically generated CSS style with Struts tags

[Frank Zammetti]

I had to do something almost identical... My solution was to make my CSS 
file a JSP, and when I referenced that stylesheet in all the other JSP's, I 
did:

<link rel="StyleSheet" href="/app/styles.act" type="text/css">
where styles.act is actually an ActionMapping.  I then had my StylesAction 
class, just like any other Action, that got some info out of the database 
and passed it along to the JSP, then I just used all the normal JSP/taglib 
functionality to dynamically build the CSS content.

Sounds like a custom JSP tag would work pretty well here ...

Hi everybody,
Can you please help with the following question:
  What are the possible ways (and best) to modify the style sheet at run 
time using Struts framework?
 Our application is  using Struts tags which refer to a static style 
sheet elements as presented below:

 <html-el:link styleClass="<%=style%>" ....
 We need at run time to extract user settings from DB (fonts, colors) and 
generate a style sheet accordingly .
  We could generate the style sheet text file for the user and store it 
somewhere on the disk and then refer to it, but then we may have too many 
files (for all active users). There must be a more dynamic and elegant 
soultion...
  Can we use the Struts html:link and pass a String to the "style" 
attribute of the html:link of the tag ? (It would be good for this string 
to be extracted from a bean prepared by an action....).

  Any example of XSL taglib and Struts tag integration ?   This is a very 
important element for trully dynamic pages ... Any good experience that we 
can learn from?

  Thank you very much,
  Marina
