Re: help files

[Jeff Beal]

I don't know of anything Struts-specific on this, but Oracle has a free 
help system that I have used in the past.  The help files are authored 
in HTML and there are XML files for building a table of contents, an 
index, and a full-text search engine.  Oracle provides a desktop client 
for adding context-sensitive help in a Swing application and a WAR file 
for adding context-sensitive help to a web application.  I've used the 
former with good success, but have not yet had occasion to try the latter.

You can get more information at 
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/help/index.html. 
Registration may be required to download the software, but that 
registration is free and does not result in any spam from Oracle.

Hi,
I am wondering if there is a standard Struts approach to having system 
help files.

I am using an image button and javascript to create a nice small 
chromeless windows in which to display my help text (I don't use the 
struts framwork), but would like the help text to come from the resource 
file.  In that case the resource file needs to contain all the markup 
for the help file (in my case quite complex html tags as it involves 
tables and lists etc).

Is there a standard approach for this?
Thanks,
Andy
