PlugIn - and PlugIn Properties

[Bradley G Smith <bg...@fs.fed.us>]

Does someone have a good example of using a Struts PlugIn with PlugIn
properties they would be willing to share. I tried to follow the code in
the Tiles PlugIn but this seemed to be overly complex for what I need.

Thanks,

Brad Smith

Take a look at the validator's plugin.  Basically what happens is that 
you use the set-property element to set the properties of your plugin. 
 It's really straight-forward.  Just use the same name in the 
set-property element as the name of your plugin property.  I used the 
ValidatorPlugIn for my example simply because it's not as complex as the 
TilesPlugIn.

ex:  for a property named myProperty, which has an accessor/mutator 
named getMyProperty/setMyProperty, you'd do:

  <plug-in className="com.foo.MyPlugIn">
    <set-property property="myProperty"
                  value="someValue - probably a String ;-)"/>
  </plug-in>

You needn't concern yourself with anything other than using the 
properties in your plugin (call your getter or refer to the field 
directly), since they automatically get set for you.
