Wouldn't it be cleaner to write one form bean, and have its form bean definition and validation generated automatically for you? And in our case, I wrote two custom XDoclet templates to generate the ApplicationResources.properties for field labels and a starter JSP with all fields on the form bean listed in a table. Quite spiffy, in fact.

Thanks Eric,
That's a great idea. I just saw that earlier on today. I have actually
also been looking at the dynaforms with the inbuilt validation (plus
some enhancements) which I have decided to use. If they don't work out,
then I will be looking at writing up my form classes. Lets hope that it
goes well.
Cheers

Even better than doing validation tagging in JSP's, and something that works well for me (in fact I created it!) is the <strutsvalidationxml> subtask of <webdoclet>. Mark up your Struts form beans (the setters for
the fields) with tags like @struts.validator type="required" and voila, validation.xml will be generated appropriately for you.
Sound better than fiddling around with JSP's? Its a huge time/bug saver
for our team.

Thanks guys,
Essentially it is for a form validation thing with struts. As I am using the same form classes for different forms to ensure a course granularity, the JSP's seem like the only way. I am just learning about this struts stuff and this seems like a possible way that may make things easier. Still experimenting.....

First of all, what would be the purpose?
The answer is no, as XDoclet currently only processes .java files. I'm
not sure if there would be a way to tag a JSP such that using Jasper (<jspc> in Ant) would generate .java files with the right @tags, but maybe that is a possibility?
I'm curious what you're getting at by wanting to tag JSP's though.

Hi All, Simple Question. Can I place xdoclet tags into JSP's? (i.e. my own made up tags with a custom template) I tried this and it didn't seem towork.Before I get into this to far I probably should ask.... >:O) thanks Jordan
