Hi,  im a newbie to struts basically applying the examples and reading
the documentation (mvc). I am about to connect a psql datasource
(Postgresql, luinx OS) database to a struts mvc utilizing a database URL
.

Thus is there a ActionForm example and what level if i have to create a
ActionForm class i.e /WEB-INF/classes/custom/ActionForm or can i create
a package above WEB-INF as at the moment i am creating/modifying
examples from the taglib's and packaging them under mt Struts-bbnpa (my
re-named struts app's.

Re:dbtags problem within my struts web application!!

[Chuck Amadi <ch...@breconbeacons.org>]

Hi Ted and fellow Struts Users's , I have got  a package named stock beneath
C:\jakarat-tomcat-3.2.1\webapps.
Thus there is a \WEB-INF that holds a classes dir and a lib dir and dbtags.xml
and web.xml. In the lib directory resides dbtags.jar and jdbc7.0-1.2.jar

I have declared taglib uri  directive at top of page testDB.jsp and added a
<taglib> element to my web application deploy descriptor  in /WEB-INF/web.xml
- as below

<web-app>
  <description>
  Example web application illustrating the use of tags in the
  DBTags custom tag library, from the JAKARTA-TAGLIBS project.
  </description>
  <taglib>
    <taglib-uri>http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/dbtags</taglib-uri>
    <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/dbtags.tld</taglib-location>
  </taglib>
  <security-role>
    <role-name>admin</role-name>
  </security-role>
</web-app>

Thus there is a dbtags .xml wish i believe is required for mapping all custom
action names to the corresponding  tag handler classes ( not nothing in the
classes file ). Nevertheless this works perfectly when i run
http://localhost:8080/stock/testDB.jsp.
albeit i have recreated the same steps i placed the stock package into by
struts-bbnpa (web app ) under classes were i have two other packages that i
created via tutorials and again the config tld,jar and xml mapping ,and run
http://localhost:8080/struts-bbnpa/testDB.jsp. This doesn't seem to work my
error is-

Not Found (404)

Original request: /struts-bbnpa/testDB.jsp

Not found request: /struts-bbnpa/testDB.jsp

Any suggestions as i have created a prototype Postgresql db with data and i am
trying to connect to my company proto web site the first works though.
Sorry if long winded. Cheers chuck.

Re: Newbie to struts - jdbc/dbtags

[Ted Husted <hu...@apache.org>]

You can configure Postgresql in the struts-config.xml, and then use the
same datasource with the Jakarta Taglibs JDBC. Works like a charm. 

Struts uses "org.apache.struts.action.DATA_SOURCE" as the datasource
identifier (see Action.java).
