DynaBeans with struts faces [Was Right Back in My Struts Face]
James-
Thank you. I had already grabbed faces-console, but many of those links
actually had (more) current examples. Still there's nothing explicit that
would make one realize f:view replaced f:use_faces, but I figured it out.
Is there anything special I need to do to use a struts-config defined
DynaBean inside of JSF? The struts-faces examples have one dynabean declared,
but if you look in the corresponding class, it turns out not to be a DynaBean
after all (story of my life).
The following snippet bombs, claiming it can't find the items property of
MaintenanceListForm, which is definitely there in the struts-config.
TIA
-Joe
<c:forEach var="item" items="${MaintenanceListForm.items}">
<tr><td><h:inputHidden id="item.id" value="${item.id}"/>
<h:inputText id="item.creditCost" size="5" maxlength="5" value="#
{item.creditCost}"/>
</td>
<td><h:inputText id="item.minPurchase" size="6" maxlength="6" value="#
{item.minPurchase}"/>
</td>
<td><h:selectOneListbox id="item.currency">
<f:selectItem itemValue="USD" />
<f:selectItem itemValue="CAD" />
<f:selectItem itemValue="EUR" />
<f:selectItem itemValue="JPY" />
</h:selectOneListbox>
</td>
<td><h:inputText id="item.beginDate" value="${item.beginDate}"/> </td>
<td><h:inputText id="item.endDate" value="${item.endDate}" /></td></tr>
</c:forEach>

RE: DynaBeans with struts faces [Was Right Back in My Struts Face]
Posted by Matthias Wessendorf <ma...@matthias-wessendorf.de>.
Hi Joe,
the thing with <f:view> was noticed in the "online" release-notes
that where shiped with the beta.(not more online, i guess) In
Early_Access_X there where the <f:use_faces>-Tag.
however, you must add the following to struts-cfg.xml:
<controller>
<set-property property="inputForward" value="true"/>
<set-property property="processorClass"
value="org.apache.struts.faces.application.FacesTilesRequestProcessor"/>
</controller>
note, i use the tiles-candidate for supporting tiles in my
jsf-sturts-apps
there is also a FacesRequestProcessor-class
the dynaBeans are supported via struts-faces.jar.
The class "PropertyResolverImpl" decorates the default PropertyResolver
shiped with implementation you use : RI, MyFAces,...
(decorator-pattern //Gamma//)
the value of field 'id' has the restrictions:
-Must not be a zero-length String
-First character must be a letter or an underscore ('_')
-Subsequent characters must be a letter, a digit, an underscore ('_'),
or a dash ('-')
so no dot ('.')
and use #{} instead of ${}
hope that helps you.
:)
Cheers,
Matthias
