I've recently inherited a internationalized and text-heavy Struts 1.1 web application. Many of the JSP files look like: <p> <bean:message key="alert" /> </p> and the properties files look like: messages.properties alert=Please update your <a href="/address.do">address</a> and <a href="/contact.do">contact information</a>. with ...

Hey, I have been working with Struts for some time, but for a project I am finishing I was asked to separate Templates (velocity .vm files), configs (struts.xml, persistence.xml) from main WAR file.

I have a struts-based webapp, and I would like the default "welcome" page to be an action. The only solutions I have found to this seem to be variations on making the welcome page a JSP that contains a redirect to the action. For example, in web.xml: <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> a...
I'm more a Java developer than a .Net guy but It seems to me that new Microsoft MVC's framework seems like typical combination of Java existing projects like : Struts (for handling the MVC), Hibernate (for object to SQL mapping, like LINQ), and URL rewriting to handle pretty URLs (that's less common). Also, It seems to me very simila...
Hi there. I'm using Struts 2. I'd like to return from an Action to the page which invoked it. Say I'm in page x.jsp, I invoke Visual action to change CSS preferences in the session; I want to return to x.jsp rather than to a fixed page (i.e. home.jsp) Here's the relevant struts.xml fragment: <action name="Visual" class="it.___.w...
Struts 1.3 application. Main website is NOT served by struts/Java. I need to forward the result of a struts action to a page in the website, that is outside of the struts context. Currently, I forward to a JSP in context and use a meta-refresh to forward to the real location. That seems kinda sucky. Is there a better way? ...

It is a well known problem to every web developer. As far as I tried to find a good solution to this problem - there was none (or at least I could not find it). Lets assume the following: The user does not behave, as he was expected to. The actual project I'm working in uses a navigation within the web portal. But if the user uses the ...
I've just inherited some old Struts code. If Struts (1.3) follows the MVC pattern, how do the Action classes fill the View with variables to render in HTML ? So far, I've seen the Action classes push variables in (1) the HTTP request with request.setAttribute("name", user.getName()) (2) in ActionForm classes, using methods specific ...
On my current project, we've been using Struts 1 for the last few years, and ... ahem ... Struts is showing its age. We're slowly migrating our front-end code to an Ajax client that consumes XML from the servers. I'm wondering if any of you have migrated a legacy Struts application to a different framework, and what challenges you faced ...
when they say the action controller in the struts framework is multi threaded, does it mean that there are multiple instances of the servlet taking the request and forwarding it to the model. OR does it mean that there is one single instance taking all the requests? Any visuals will be appreciated ...
