Hello All,
Had a few questions I was looking for some possible help on. I am in the
process of developing a web application that needs to render different views
based on the users browser type and the version number of that browser. It
is pretty easy to parse out the User-Agent field of the HTTP header to get
the version and number (with some obvious rules as to parsing order etc.
like in the Cocoon Sitemap)
The question I have is, does anyone have a redirection/servlet or
objects/examples on how this can be done easily from within struts ... after
the Form object is created, the action is create, the backend business logic
is performed (which will be the same irreguardless of browser), I need to
redirect to a different view based on the browser but I still want to submit
actions to be common and not reference the new type .... does anyone have
any ideas on this? Obviously this only needs to be done once (determine
what view heirarchy to be used) like at login. I was thinking of defining
something like this
/views/
/default/
/mozilla/6.0
/msie/5.5
/msie/5.0
/mspie/2.0
/avantgo/1.0
etc etc ... if a browser was not "explicitly" supported it would goto
/default ...
The input would be somewhere like
/control
/send/...
/retreive/...
/login
/logout
etc etc ... obviously this is the same irreguardless of browser type.
Has anyone tried to do this? Have any examples? Or maybe can direct me to
something with functionality simular to what I am trying to do? I
appreciate the help and can give more detail if needed.
Sean
P.S. If custom development is needed I would be interested in submitting a
"reusable" framework back into struts if people are interested.
