Hello
What is the best way to return simple text/html or an xml document from an
action? Do I have to forward to a servlet and open an output stream and write
the stream? Is there a simpler/better way? tia.
I'm not sure what your asking but just recently I have added a property
in my action which returns an HTML Table. All I had to do was add the
escape property to my s:property tag like this:
<s:property escape="false" value="myTable" />
For another project I found that when I tried to write to the output
stream the execute() method must return null. Otherwise I would get an
error indicating the stream was closed when the Action was still trying
to write to it.
Thirdly, I think there is a way to do XSL transformations in
struts.xml. If this works the way I think it does then you could return
XML by all your actions and use the XSL to transform it to whatever
output you want. Nifty for multi-platform applications.
Does that help?
