Non editable jsp with struts 2 templates - whats the best approach?
Hi,
I've a JSP where the user views a set of html input fields. The user
enters the values and submits the page and he is taken to another page
where he gets a chance to review his inputs before final submission.
All this JSP does is, it displays the inputs as plain text instead of
html inputs using the <s:property> tag. Currently I'm using two
different jsps to achive this - one for input and one for review. Can
I do this with just one JSP by using themes/templates like switching
the theme for the review jsp? We are currently using the 'simple'
theme.

Well the problem is if I make a change to first jsp, then I need to
make the same change on the second JSP like adding fields etc. This
really becomes a pain when I have to change the page layout. If it is
just one jsp, I can get away with changing just one page instead of
two. This jsp is huge with 20 inputs .

Because it involves maintaining to completely separate JSP pages that do
almost the exact same thing. If the approach is used throughout the site
it's more maintainable to abstract that functionality and avoid having
to make changes in two places every time something on the JSP changes.

What is wrong with that approach? If it works and if it's simple, then keep it!

Some browses don't send to a server disabled fields, so you will have
to duplicate them in to the hidden inputs. You can use readonly=true
but it can be confusing for users, you will have to change the
background or something.

Yes, create a theme based on simple that sets the disabled=true for the
fields, and render with that theme.
Here's an example of how to do that:
