RE: [OFF TOPIC] Book recommendations (J2EE, Struts, JUnit, EJB, Weblogic)

I think Linus' requirements are wrong. Books on J2EE patterns in general, and "Core J2EE Patterns" in particular, are not worth reading. Change the requirement to books that provide useful patterns for J2EE applications, and you get the answer you want, which is Fowler's "Patterns of Enterprise Ap

[OT] RE: Prob:Calling a bean:write inside html:text - Nesting is nice

The JSTL authors decided that the value might need calculation to work it out, but that a pattern would not require other tags to determine. Were they right? Maybe, maybe not. If they adopted the approach I suggested, they would just have some extra busy work supporting nesting for everything, bu

RE: Prob:Calling a bean:write inside html:text - Nesting is nice

RE: Memory consumption 1.1 b3 vs. 1.1 final

Is this an issue because the session is being serialized? Maybe the reference to the struts config needs to be declared transient and be restored if the object is deserialized. Brendan -Original Message- From: Craig R. McClanahan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 28, 2003 1:2

RE: html:form tag and coupling between ActionForm and Action

I don't think Daniel's idea will work. If the action form does not exist then struts wants to instantiate the form. Therefore struts needs to know the type. It might work if you have a session scope form already there. I think of actions as the most dependent class, i.e. nothing should depend o

Dynamic redirect to external URL

Is there a way to create a dynamic redirect to an external URL. Something like the way I expected this to work: public class MyAction extends Action { ... ActionForward fwd = new ActionForward("http://www.yahoo.com";, true); fwd.setContextRelative(false); return fwd;
