What I was looking was... Is there any framework which would read a form definition file either based on a form bean or not and allow or disallow access to those fields.
I have looked around and the struts-layout has some built in feature for access to fields. but layout tag seems too much for my application. Any other idea?? ajay -----Original Message----- From: Gareth Evans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 26, 2005 12:34 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: [SPAM - Bayesian] - Re: Configurable Forms Fields Authorization - Bayesian Filter detected spam Hi, I use a similar method to generate a form, Use a xml file to define the form e.g. <form> <group name="section1"> <field property="value1" type="text" /> <field property="value2" type="date" /> .... I then use a custom tag to parse the xml tag and set the form config within the page context for me to iterate through and display. I've added options to display a date selector, or a select box based on either values defined in the xml or on a collection within the request context. I use the grouping function to wrap fieldsets around parts of the form just to split it up. Another nice feature is to pull the label for a field directly from the message resources e.g "field.name.value1" or "group.name.section1". This approach works well for me!
