I'd be incredibly surprised if someone wrote a program (or ant task) to auto-create a basic JSP listing html:whatever tags. How could a programmer know from the *.hbm.xml file if a field should be a checkbox, a radio button, an input field, a file upload, a textarea, or anything else? If it did make them all html:text tags, you would still have to cut/paste everything around the page into your layout (or into another JSP which contains your table layout). It sounds counterproductive when I try to envision the JSP creator in this wording. :(
Regardless, I hope you find it. If you're looking for a String-based form, why not use a map-backed actionForm and let BeanUtils.copyProperties() (or whatever it's called) copy and convert the Strings into your Hibernate saveable/updatable object? See: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/building_controller.html#map_acti on_form_classes On the JSP issue, I personally think you're nuts (unless you've got a simpler description than my guess above) unless you have tens or hundreds of JSP's to make and have no layout you require (as it would require nearly equivalent amounts of cutting & pasting).

You see, based on, for instance, Person.hbm.xml, hbm2java will generate Person.java but since I use struts, I still need to generate PersonForm.java and Person.jsp PersonForm would be very similar to Person.java, with the difference is that in PersonForm, all fields's type (firstName, lastName, age) become String. Then in the AddPerson.jsp I will have something repeated like this: <html:text property="firstName"/> <html:text property="lastName"/> <html:text property="age"/> Is there anyone outthere who makes tool for such thing? It should not be very difficult to make one, but I just want to avoid reinvent the wheel. regards, Dion -----Original Message----- From: David Friedman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 23, 2004 1:30 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: generate struts ActionForm & strut's jsp from hibernate's mapping What's wrong with the hibernate extension tools and the Code Generator that creates .java files from the hbm.xml files you give it? See: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/hibernate/?sort_by=date&sort=desc Item: hibernate-extensions-2.1.zip (or the 2.0.2 zip file for 2.0.X versions) I've only used the extension's hbm2java program, not the other way around. Now that I'm using Xdoclet, I have no further need for those extension tools.

Is anyone aware of tools, open source is better, that can generate ActionForm and the JSP's (containing struts's HTML Input tag) based on a hibernate's mapping (i.e. *.hmb.xml)? cheers, dion --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
