Thanks for the info.
For things like drop lists, we will be using a custom tag, as most of our
drop lists come from a standard "validation group" XML transaction to our
back end. We pass in a group serial, and it returns a set of values for the
drop list. (Plus I don't particularly like the idea of having SQL in JSPs)
A colleague of mine is currently investigating custom tags with a view to
producing a simple interface for these drop downs.
Keith suggested putting it in the ActionHandler....I'm not particularly
comfortable with that, as that then ties the two web pages together. I'd
like (ultimately) to have our back end drive which page comes next, rather
than having it in the struts-config.xml, but to do this, I need to have each
page autonomous, and have it get all it's pre-requisites itself.
Jeff's mail ("Framework Questions") was interesting as it raises a similar
point. I think I would like the ability for a JSP page to run an specific
ActionHandler's perform() before processing the rest of the page.
Comments?
Tim.
