Hi all,
I've studied the design paper that Ted has put up at his site
(http://husted.com/about/scaffolding/strutByStrut.htm) . Very clear
explanation Ted, it only left me with one question. In your paper you state
that every form should have its own action. However for my last project (and
my first struts project) I used the same action for most of the forms.
This action would then decide based upon a navigate field in the form :
- which formBean to create and populate
- which mapping to return
based on a large if (navigation.equals("<something>")) tree.
I submitted always to the same form, so that this ControllerAction could
perform some default behavious I liked to execute (e.g. dynamic change of
language, default SQLException handling) and that all the navigation was in
the same class.
Somehow I have the feeling that this is not the way to go.
However on the detail screens there are links to other detail screens. These
are simple links like <a href=javascipt:goSubmit('showFirstDetailsScreen')>
... <a href=javascipt:goSubmit('showSecondeDetailsScreen')> etc etc. (where
goSubmit is a javascript function that will fill the navigate field with the
given value and then submit the form). If I want a action for every form how
should I set this so that showFirstDetailsScreen will go to the right
action, without using multiple forms (since this really screws up the html
lay-out)
