Recommended way of generating tables...

[Jeff Bannister <Je...@bull.co.uk>]

Hi,

I am wanting to use Struts for a web application I must write, however on my
first look at the HTML custom tag library I can see nothing to generate
tables. This kind of tag exists on other tag libs I have seen such as
Borlands Internet Beans Express, and I think this tag is vital. What's
Struts position on this ?

regards,

Jeff.

Struts is meant to be a lightweight framework to help you build Web
applications. It is not meant to be an omnibus solution for all your Web
development needs. It is expected that most developers will need to
develop their own tags, and also use those from other sources like
Jakarta Taglibs. At some point, once the JSPTL is sorted out, most of
the taglibs in the Struts distribution, or their successors, will be
hosted at Jakarta Taglibs. 

So, our position is go ahead and use the Borland Internet Beans Express
tags if you can, or any others that meet your needs, including those at
< struts.application-servers.com >.

The strength of Struts is that it is designed to play well with others,
and does not want to reinvent wheels.

Hi Jeff,

Struts tags are very simple, which allows you to do whatever you want with 
the HTML code. But you still need to write it. Another solution is to use 
the layout taglib I am working on. This taglib allows to design screens 
very rapidly without writing HTML code. You can have a look at it on 
struts.application-servers.com
