Thanks very much Frank... your answer is very helpful... ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank W. Zammetti To: Struts Users Mailing List Cc: Struts Sent: Friday, March 17, 2006 4:22 PM Subject: Re: Applet and Struts
Yes you can... it will certainly be more work on your part, but yes. In the end, the "calls" made to Struts Actions are just HTTP GETs or POSTs. You can fire these yourself from an applet. You can construct a query string and append it to the URL when doing GETs, or you can populate an HTTP request if doing a POST. What you get back may be different than usual though... you could of course render HTML in an applet, but if your using an applet in the first place my guess is you are interested in getting back data, not a rendered UI. So, maybe your JSPs that your Actions forward to render XML, set the content-type appropriately, and your applet parses it and does something with it. Maybe the response is just a flag that tells your applet to display a nother screen. And so on. The basic question though is yes... simply make an HTTP request to the appropriate URL in the Struts-based application, and handle the response as appropriate. No problem :) -- Frank W.
