Hi Jason! reading through your mail, i got especially attracted on your solution combining XSLT with struts tags. I am currently doing some after-project considerations, having been my first struts project(and also the first for my actual company, hence having no one to having an expertise talk). One action point on my list is the question : "How to control which model elements map to which view elements and vice versa(especially at runtime)."
So i would be a great honour for me if you - can write me a few words because of out of what considerations you are using XSLT and struts tags. - devote a second of your precious time to my topic "How to control which model elements map to which view elements and vice versa" - if and how XSLT can help me to come up with a more generic solution. E.g. I would like features as described in struts-layout ( taken from http://struts.application-servers.com/) "Let's image you are running an online shop selling books. There is one jsp to display information about the book (title, author, size, price etc.). The customers can only view the information, but the site administrator can view and modify the information. Normally, you would have to make two jsps to achieve that: one to display the information, and one to modify them (you can also make one jsp with complicated logic stuff in it). With Struts-Layout, it is possible to make only one jsp, without logic in it.The goals is : One user object to create / edit / view, one DistpachAction class, one Form class, and one jsp." - but i don't like that taglib approach very much, because it is becoming too cohesive to the dependent frameworks. Thank you so much for your input Jörg Maurer -----Original Message----- From: Jason Long [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Dienstag, 11.

I am generating many struts forms using jsp/xml syntax and struts. It is working quite nicely so far. I am using <html:form>,<html:text>,<html:radio>... with no problems, but for some reason my xsl style sheet renders <html:checkbox> or <html:mulitbox> without html prefix. I found the problem for anyone who may need an answer. It was nothing to do with checkbox or multibox. Since I was calling this from within and XSL template, I needed to declare the tag library in the xsl style sheet as well as the jsp:root.

If I add either of the following I get the following rendered to the browser. I have radio, and text fields working fine. <multibox value="47" property="chkItems"/> <checkbox value="47" property="chkItems"/> What am I missing? Do I need to set chkItems to zero length in the form reset() method? If so, what is the syntax?
