stxx - 0.7
http://www.oroad.com/opencode/
Struts for transforming XML with XSL (stxx) is a rewrite of the struts
framework to support XML and XSL .
stxx sit's on top of struts, extending it's existing functionality to
allow Action classes to return XML that will be transformed by an XSL file.
The idea of stxx is to remove the need to be use JSP and TagLibs for the
presentation layer of this framework. However, stxx does not force you
to go the XML/XSL route, both technologies should work side by side.
So, adding XSL support to struts is ALMOST as simple as adding the
following tags to your struts-config.xml file:
<action path="/welcome"
type="com.oroad.stxx.example.ExampleWelcomeAction"
scope="request">
<forward name="success">
<!--
the transform tags take the XML returned by the Action
and transform them. The transform tag used is determined
by matching the user agent against the name attribute (or
default if nothing matches)
-->
<transform name="default" path="/login.xsl"/>
<transform name="Mozilla" path="/login_netscape.xsl"/>
<transform name="MSIE" path="/login_msie.xsl"/>
</forward>
</action>
stxx features:
- Enhances the <forward> tag in the struts-config.xml file to allow
one to many <transform> tags. These <transform> tags represent
the XSL file to be used depending on the user-agent of the
browser accessing struts
- A new class variable for the Action class, A JDOM Document, which
you use to append your data in your Action class too. This
Document object will be transformed by the XSL file in your
<transform> tag.
- stxx automatically flattens the ApplicationResources file to XML
and attaches it to the Document object returned by the new Action
class.
- stxx also automatically appends the request parameters and
attributes, as well as ActionErrors as XML to the Document
object.
Please note: stxx is a work in progress, however, at this point I've
been using it for about 4 months and it works great for me, I realize it
might not fit everyone elses needs. Please send me feedback, opinions,
complains, etc.
----
Also, to those other people (2 that I know of) who have downloaded the
previous version of this that I had, this is an almost complete rewrite
of what I had earlier.
This version is not the rewritten struts code, but a seperate package
that is a lot leaner, quicker and better.
