I`ve been looking some more into the case and I think its becoming more of a
design matter...
I dont know if I am using struts the right way or not.
Problem is that I am building business logic into my forms.. Is this good or
not?
<logic :if you are a business customer (based on a session bean)... >
<html:text ask for his VAT number>
</logic>
Should I make 2 different pages or use tiles or something completely else?
problem is that on the first page I ask 5 questions to the customer. Based
on their choices the second form is built up. all business related stuff...
I tried to write a validator like requiredif but based on beans from
somewhere in your scope
struts logic can work on beans from your session or request scope because it
has streight access to the pagecontext
I dont find a way to really access my pageContext in the validator.
but do you want your validator actually reading from your request scope or
session scope?
tnx for your time :)
