Hello,
following up with my select-list issue, I ended up with this next question.
First off, I have been referencing the HTML tag users guide. But to be honest,
it does me little use, as it does not show how to use the html:select tags,
etc. Some make sense, but most do not. I am probably like others, I like to see
examples, and put the logic together in that way.
Finally late last night I was able to get the select-list stuff to work, but it was
through a hack and stealing of code. I ended up using something that was a
"LabelValueBean" and passing it values.
I own the O'Reilly struts book, and have read it many times, and through this,
I understand how the framework works. The book is great at getting an
understanding of the framework, but it does not go into any detail of using
tags within the framework. The problem I am having now, is that I am wasting a
ton of time with the logic: html: and bean: tags. I can populate my
ActionForms, pass off to the Action classes, but I am having trouble, or a
lack of understanding, how to cleanly populate my JSP pages from the
ActionForms for lists, selects, etc.
Does anyone know of any books, or links that spend some time on combining
all these tags, struts, etc to create a full streamlined struts application? I
shopped Amazon last night, but none seem to stand out for myself.
Thanks,
Scott

I assume you know about the HTML tag Users Guide?

Hello,
I am trying to do something pretty simple I would think. I am also trying to
use html:select tags, logic, etc. to keep the project uniform.
I have a jsp page that I need to show a set of users in a select list.
So I have an action that creates a bean in memory and does not validate.
<action path="/displaySelect"
type="foo.WorkAsUser"
scope="request"
name="usersbean"
validate="false"
input="/jsp/admin/mainAdmin.jsp">
<forward name="Success" path="/jsp/admin/testSelect.jsp" />
<!-- test above only -->
</action>
In the foo.WorkAsUser Class, I am doing a query and grabbing the data into a
Vector:
Then I cast the form (in this action) class back to the usersbean (type).
eg:
com.UsersBean usersbean = (UsersBean)form;
Then I am setting the bean with the Vector.
usersbean.setSelectVector(vector);
So at this point, I believe to have a good vector of String names options, in
the usersBean.
Now in the JSP page how do I incorporate this bean into something like this:
<html:select property="multipleSelect" size="10" multiple="true">
<html:options name="multipleValues" labelName="multipleValues" />
</html:select>
I cannot find the answer. I do have a form tag in this jsp page that calls once
again for this usersbean: So I know I own the bean in the request scope, but
how do put all this data into a select list?
Any ideas
Thanks,
Scott
