Subject: PLEASE COMMENTS! Design question on very long lists... (a little
bit OT)
> Hi to all!
>
> I strongly appreciate struts - it a very valuable tool to work with. So I
started to build a EIS-similar application with much DB-Access, business
code and so on... (try to work with Jonas EJB Server). But there arer some
design question and I do appreciate comments on these.
> I have plenty of masks with DB-Access and CRUD-Operations. You can make a
choice based on the Primary Key (or something else). E.g. Articels have a
primary key, let's say WCF1001, REI1002, VAT-Code can be choosed, Zip-Code,
Customer Name and so on. On behalf of articels: I am using html:select and
build a selection list, but there are thousands of Primary Keys and you have
to send MANY bytes through the net building the mask (think of many
selection list in one mask!!).
> What is in your opinion the "best" method the keep the selection lists
short? Can I resend/request the selection list, building new ones with the
next key? Is it possible to simulate the behavior of - let's say - of the
help index of Microsoft? Or is it convenient to build short lists with
beginning letters, then "climb down" to a next short list a.s.o??
> Have I to switch to applets (with all its disadvantages...)?
