its a MVC framework which contains Dojo Javascript libraries
keep in mind Dojo 0.42 has the ability to accomodate a dojo DataGrid
the simplest example:
in pure JavaScript you can use return JavaScriptObjectNotationResultset to a
datagrid e.g.
no ftl.. no worries about configuring for struts just call the dojo control
directly from JS
var itemData = {items: [{name: "Bill", hiredate: new Date("1975-8-1")}, ...]};
var store = new dojo.data.JsonItemStore({ data: itemData});
to accomodate in struts
you will encounter these configuration considerations
first of all make SURE your modulePaths are set correctly for dojo.js (if you
don't no .js will be loaded)
enable the gridData widget control to be found in
WEB-INF/classes/template/simple/head.ftl
<script src="${base}/dojo/release-0.4.2/templates/gridData"></script>
if you want to set this up as a referencable control you'll want to look at
creating a ftl (freemarker template library) for your control e.g.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED] prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>All People</title>
</head>
<body>
There are ${peopleCount} people...
<table>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Name</th>
</tr>
<#list people as person>
<tr>
<td>${person.id}</td>
<td>${person.name}</td>
<td>${person.lastName}</td>
</tr>
</#list>
<!-- an example of a struts tag which has a ftl component is the
inputtransferselect-->
<s:inputtransferselect
list="people"
name="people_name"
label="people_label"/>
</table>
<ul>
<!-- action class which will feed your people list -->
<li><a href="editPerson.action">Edit people</a></li>
<li><a href="newPerson!input.action">Create</a> a new person</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
but the s:inputtransferselect is meaningless without accompanying .ftl form
which is defined in
template\simple\inputtransferselect.ftl *notice the inputtransferselect.js
inclusion via s.url:*
head -8 inputtransferselect.ftl
<#if !stack.findValue("#inputtransferselect_js_included")?exists><#t/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<@s.url
value="/struts/inputtransferselect.js" encode='false'
includeParams='none'/>"></script>
<#assign temporaryVariable =
stack.setValue("#inputtransferselect_js_included", "true") /><#t/>
</#if><#t/>
<table border="0">
