Basically what Ted and I said earlier. In WSAD, the struts-config editor has an edit
button
next to where the class name is displayed. Click it, and WSAD brings up an editor
with that class
in it. If there is no class for the name you've provided ( i.e., you've typed the
name in by hand, or just
filled in the mapping part and hit edit.)
then it will bring up the class creation wizard, with the defaults already set to
create a
standard Action class all stubbed out with everything you need except the logic to do
the action.
Looks something like:
public class FooAction extends Action {
public ActionForward execute(
ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception {
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
ActionForward forward = new ActionForward();
// return value
try {
// do something here
} catch (Exception e) {
// Report the error using the appropriate name and ID.
errors.add("name", new ActionError("id"));
}
// If a message is required, save the specified key(s)
// into the request for use by the <struts:errors> tag.
if (!errors.isEmpty()) {
saveErrors(request, errors);
// Forward control to the appropriate 'failure' URI (change name as
desired)
// forward = mapping.findForward("failure");
} else {
// Forward control to the appropriate 'success' URI (change name as
desired)
// forward = mapping.findForward("success");
}
// Finish with
return (forward);
}
}
and you're off coding logic.
MyEclipse, IDEA and others will do something similar.
Like Ted said, really really cuts down on the nickel and dime BS quite a bit.
Any more and I think we're off topic.
