Hello,
I've been looking for a solution that allows me to create form and
read-only versions of the same page. Each page will have a version
where a logged-in user can enter the data and a version where a non
logged in user will only be able to view the data. This is my current
solution:
<logic:equal name="readOnly" value="true">
<bean:write name="myFormBean" property="firstName"/>
</logic:equal>
<logic:equal name="readOnly" value="false">
<html:text property="firstName" maxlength="100"
styleClass="textInput"/>
</logic:equal>
That's 6 lines of code for what only needs to be 1 or 2 lines of
code. It would be 8 lines if I wrapped it in a logic:present tag to
prevent errors if readOnly doesn't get set in the action.
I've received suggestions such as "just set the field to read-only or
disabled" but I don't want the user to see the form-elements. I've
also been told to use javascript and spin through each field on page
load. I don't like relying on javascript for this kind of problem.
I've considered extending the standard struts html taglib to allow
for a "editMode" tag but if someone has already come up with a good
solution I'd like to hear about it.
Thanks,
Geoffeg
