> Has anyone developed Wizard in Struts 2 without using Spring webflow plugin.
I have done it with and without jQuery, but find that the jQuery form wizard plug-in [1] is by far the easiest. In short, you create a div each to represent each step and add class="step" to the div, and you're pretty much done as far as the wizard coding is considered. The plug-in handles breaking the form into multiple wizard steps. Then the wizard pages look like 1 big form to Struts 2 when the last page is submitted (the plug-in handles making the last page a submit). Validations can be handled via the validation plug-in. You probably want a paranoid validation step at the action level. If there is an error there, that the jQuery validation didn't catch, then there was probably some outside manipulation (if you did validations correctly) and a generic error message, outside of the wizard, would be acceptable and probably never seen by the average user. If you don't use jQuery, then just store the object you're dealing with (model) in the session and iteratively update it at the end of each wizard step. If there is more than just the one model object, then store a DTO in the session and call that your model. That's essentially how I did it anyway, without going into every gory detail which I don't really have time for. [1] http://thecodemine.org/
