Struts 1.1 support
yeah ... definately looking forward to official Struts 1.1 support next :)
I miss seeing a listing for Tiles and Modules in the Status doc though. As
I've already stated I have að working TilesTool to contribute (although it
lacks support for put-lists). I could also use struts modules in my
projects ... so maybe I can lend a hand with that?
Cheers,
Marino

Whoo Hoo! Great work Nathan! :-)
I removed the temporary docs on happysearch.com.
Gabe, perhaps the docs here should be removed to, now that there is an
official version.
http://www.teamup.com/jakarta-velocity-tools/tools/docs/
Looking forward to official Struts 1.1 support next! (I'll be able to
use it within a few weeks, so I'll get busy converting the taglib to a
tool so Velocity can access the client-side javascript validation the
Validator provides.)
Cheers,
Timo

sounds even better.

sure. or wiki or you can try posting to the list. (not sure if that'll work,
attachments seem to be stripped these days. though i think *.txt files might
work.)

:) great!

yeah, pass it my way or wiki or whatever you feel like. (Wiki is good for
community interaction--don't wanna leave Tim out in the cold ;)

[VELTOOLS] Struts 1.0 Javascript Validation Tool

I just posted a quick hack version on the Wiki. :-)
http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?VelocityValidationTool
The good news is that it seems to actually even work, the bad news is
that I probably need to get Struts 1.1 to run locally before I can start
upgrading it to use the commons validation and Struts 1.1 features.
But at least this is a start for those of us currently stuck in 1.0
land. <grin>
Cheers,
Timo

how is your client-side javascript validation access coming? ... I'm pretty
curious about that ;)

Oh! I was hoping you'd post the demo-app there too, I'm intensely

Damn - this Wiki is pretty cool :D

I actually missed Tom's email so thanks for reposting :) There are three
main differences between my version and his ...
my version supports nested tiles
my version supports tile-controllers
my version doesn't require a velocity-macro
Tiles are _very_ simple to use and I have already prepared a little demo-app
you can use to get up to speed :) It features the TilesTool used with
Velocity and Struts, and also an example of how to use a tile-controller.
Do you want it sent to nathan@esha.com?
Regarding module support I'll start looking at StrutsUtils :)
Cheers,
Marino

yeah, i would love it if you'd lend a hand! i haven't used either Tiles or
Modules, and really don't know a lot about them. any help you could give
would be fantastic. patches and contributions are more than welcome.
sometimes it feels like a one man show these days. i'm very eager to get
more
developers involved (and hopefully some will merit becoming committers).
i've looked into Tiles a little. Tom Czarniecki also posted a TilesTool
that
he made to the user list. but i'm not sure how to use it or evaluate it
given
my current level of understanding. i'd be interested to hear your thoughts
on
it and see your code too (an example of how to use it might help me
understand
:). anyway, i've reposted his email at the bottom of this one in case you
missed it.

Hi there,
I would like to contribute my version of a tiles tool for velocity. This
tool is designed to be used as part of a velocity toolbox and provides a
simple way of accessing struts-tiles defintions to allow velocity templates
to be used in the struts-tiles framework rather than jsp pages. This tool
does not parse nested component contexts since that is not required for my
purposes but it can easily be extended.
I use this tool with the following velocimacro:
## Parse a VM template returned by a Tiles definition.
#macro(tilesParse $name)
#if( $tiles.exists($name) )
#parse( $tiles.get($name) )
#end
#end
