I'm glad to see someone is having more luck than I am with the datepicker ;)
I have only tried to do it without extracting the static files and without changing the struts action mapping to something other than .html, but those goals might be asking for a bit much :) As for the recommendation, I think it would be safe to say either one. Both projects have a good supporting community and should work just fine with Struts 2. I'd say use the one you like or feel is easier to work with.

I was able to do it but I had to make quite a few changes to the application which I have given below. I also read somewhere that the Ajax theme is going to be refactored to a plugin. I wanted to know what is the best pratice with regard to appfuse and struts2. Should I use tools like scriptacalous for autocomplete or use Struts2 Dojo UI tags? Changes made to get datepicker working: 1. Change the extension from html to apsx This ment that I had to change quite a few links in the application. Everywhere there was a link with .html I had to change it to .aspx. 2. Copied the files in struts.jar (org/apache/struts2/static/dojo) to /scripts/dojo (This did not work so I had to copy org/apache/struts2/static/dojo/src to /src) Now I have 2 copies of /scr folder but I have not checked what happens if I delete the one in /scripts/dojo/ 3. I changed the decorator.xml and added the following lines. <pattern>/src/*</pattern> <pattern>/scripts/dojo/*</pattern> 4. Added the line below to the head section of the page <script type="text/javascript" src="<c:url value='scripts/dojo/dojo.js'/>"></script>. I tried <s:head theme="ajax" calendarcss="calendar-green" debug="true"/> but this is trying to get resources from http://localhost:8080/struts/dojosrc/namespaces/dojo.js etc. because the head renders the foll: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> // Dojo configuration djConfig = { baseRelativePath: "/struts/dojo", isDebug: true, bindEncoding: "UTF-8", debugAtAllCosts: true // not needed, but allows the Venkman debugger to work with the includes }; </script> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="/struts/dojo/dojo.js"></script> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="/struts/simple/dojoRequire.js"></script> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="/struts/ajax/dojoRequire.js"></script> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="/struts/CommonFunctions.js"></script> Looks like there the baseRelativePath needs to be changed from /struts/dojo to /scripts/dojo/ this requires to change the head.ftm This got the datepicker working but the calendar formatting was all wrong. This requires some changes in the css files. Will be looking into this too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
