App Design
Hi all,
I am thinking of structuring an application as follows, and
would appreciate any advice and ideas of how to do this:
There will be two frames. First is a navigation frame where the user
presses a button to determine the JSP that is loaded into the second frame.
Each possible JSP for the second frame will have form. If a user is
entering data into the form, and then presses a button on the navigation
frame to go to a different jsp/form, I want to save the partially entered
form data from the page the user is leaving. Then when the user goes back
to the first page they can continue where they left off.
I have been prototyping an idea; the navigation frame uses JavaScript to
submit the form and redirect the old page to the new desired page. So far
I have accomplished that when the form is submitted the action does not
really do anything, so the form data is saved in the bean. But how do I
accomplish the redirect?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Can "the action that doesn not really do anything" just forward to the
desired page in the usual way?
One approach would be to have the Javascript set the desired page as
field in the form before it is submitted. The Action could then retrieve
the page, and return the appropriate ActionForward.

I read the list this morning and read 20 messages about too much traffic
and then read 30+ messages that were either labelled OT (which I assume
stands for off-topic) and messages like this, which are interesting but
have absolutely nothing to do with Struts. This isn't a poolman,
expresso, EJB list, this is a Struts list. Talking about the others where
they deal with Struts is OK. If people think there is too much traffic on
this list, they can stop discussing off-topic things. I bet the traffic
would go down 25%.
My 2 cents

Re: App Design
Posted by Keith <ke...@yahoo.com>.
rage on! I want java to survive .net.
If people use too much technology or over eloborate designs, their systems get
expensive to write & hard to maintain & then it looks like java is not good.
When I see the posts by people using frames I am pleased I avoid them.
One of my aims is to write systems that a beginner can read & a junior can
maintain.
As for EJB's - oops I may start to rant!
I write a business logic class to a standard design pattern, it can be called
from a Swing app or a struts Action.
If I want to call it from a remote server or it needs to participate in a
distributed transaction it should take only a few hours to write
a wrapper around it to make it an EJB session bean. It needs to receive/return
it's parameters as value objects (to save repeated calls acoss the network).
But like 98% of systems I have no such requirement - so no EJB's - for now.
So what's the big deal about them - can't most of us can remain blissfully
ignorant of them?
Personally I'd like to see that b^%&$� PetStore written in 3 ways -
1 - As a pet store would actually want it (Small scale architecture)
2 - Mid scale
3 - Monster scale.
And if we are really lucky No 1 write run nearly as fast as the .net version!!

ok, the link is rather old, and maybe also a bit dogmatic: But most of it
still holds true. Apart from the usability-hassles described in the link, in
my experience you can add a bunch of problems you get when you try to
generate your frames programmatically (the simplest one being the
requirement to generate a link to the preceding "page"(whatever that means
when you use frames) that also had to work when javascript is deactivated -
the history.back() at last works halfway consistent for almost all browsers,
but it took them a while...) - then you have the problem with deep-links
into the site (you almost always end up with an xml-file that contains the
complete site-layout and from which you can generate right frameset - almost
always buggy and hard to maintain...), synching data in different frames
(using an equally bad mixture of javascript/sevlet-code...). There are some
applications out there which almost all have to something with configuration
(configuring a new car, a new pc and so on) which make heavy use of
javascript and frames to maintain the state of the configuration: Although
i agree that there almost always a whole lot of data flows from and to the
browser, which can/should be cached in frames, in reality these
configrurators almost always seem to be crashing short before purchasing
your new car, which took you about an hour to configure...
so, no, i don't see any real reason for using frames for other things than
doing some static designer-portfolio-pages (but i think they are currently
overusing flash for this purpose...)
ps: excuse me for this elaborate rage, but i have been burnt before in
projects where i was forced to use frames....

Is there a good argument for using frames? It needs to be good, they obviously
are problematic to use.
Beware the page linked to below is dated Dec. 1996 - most of what's in it is
obsolete!

Re: App Design
Posted by stf <s....@vierundsechzig.de>.
frames suck: I don't think it's a good idea to separate your page-flow onto
two different layers, one being the javscript/frame-constellation, the other
the struts config-files. What exactly are you trying to achive? If you just
want to reuse your navigation, then go for some kind of template-engine(e.g.
tiles, even simple, maybe parametrized includes will be better than
frames..) - if you have a designer, who insists, that frames are more
"usable" or just look better, have him read this:

thought, everybody knows it by now ;)

It sounds like the Tiles definitions are not being loaded from the XML
configuration file.
Make sure the Tiles subclass of ActionServlet is installed properly.

When I am trying to using Definations in tiles I am
getting the following errors :-
Error Message: Can't get definitions factory from
context.
Error Code: 500
Target Servlet: null
Error Stack:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Can't get definitions
factory from context.
