Does instanceof work?

2004-03-21 Thread Frank Burns

Recommend file upload progress bar

2004-03-20 Thread Frank Burns
I have a requirement to display a progress bar while performing file uploads. I've found several frameworks that provide this functionality. However, can you recommend an existing *best* solution -- preferably off-the-shelf -- for use with Struts? Thanks, Frank

ActionForm necessary?

2004-03-15 Thread Frank Burns
I have a jsp form which has fields that require no validation. So I don't need to validate the form input. If I don't include an ActionForm, I get a ... null form ... error message. Does this mean that I MUST create ActionForms, even if they are empty -- i.e., no validate() method and no

Struts starter

2004-03-07 Thread Frank Burns
Hi, I'm in the middle of working with my first application using Struts and desperately need some help. I've read nearly all of Ted Husted's Struts In Action book and browsed the mailing list archives but have not found a solution for what I want to do. I mention this to let you know that I have
