Re: S2 & AJAX question

You could do it in S2, just like you said you would do it in S1, writing to
the output stream, without requiring a page for it (not that I'm advising to
do so ;) ).

I don't think autocompleter will cut it for us, as we have to make the
choices available in 2 drop-downs.  I have an example, which I would be
happy to post, but I don't know the how/where of that.  I also have a very
nifty menu using JSCookMenu populated from an xml file.  This is (IMHO :~))
) a much better menu than the Struts Menu options, which did not look nice
enough for us.  I had tried the JSF JSCookMenu available in Tomahawk, but
there is a bug (probably in Struts) which keeps it from working properly.

Can you use the autocompleter tag? You can link 2 of them easily.

Re: S2 & AJAX question

[Ray Clough <ra...@allthisisthat.com>]

We've gotten it to work by having the action method write to the output
stream and return null.  This is by far the best solution I've seen yet, but
it is a little unsatisfying from an architectual point of view.  It would be
more satisfying to have a Topic-based solution, but I can't see how to do
that, or if it could possibly work.  The basic problem (with my limited
understanding of Ajax) is that the contents of the div are an s:select tag,
which is executed on the server when the page is first rendered, and I don't
see how the client-side listener can refresh the dynamic contents of that
select tag (no longer an s:select tag on the client side).  In order to do
that, it seems that the s:select tag itself would have to be ajax-enabled. 
Is this correct?  Any insight, Anyone?
