Handling breadcrumbs with Struts

[Darren Hall <dh...@utrs.com>]

My lack of Struts knowledge is showing here, but -

I need to move data from my action object to my jsp through some sort of
value object (probably a bean). For example, my web application will use
breadcrumbs at the top of the body of nearly every page. This information
will need to be updated on every request. I need to find a way to pass this
information back and forth on each request. Does struts provide any built in
mechanism for this (maybe though the Bean taglib) or is there a "preferred"
way to handle my breadcrumbs through Struts?

 

Thanks

Darren

You may even try and do something more dynamic, like use Ajax calls
upon page loads, and that would keep things clean.

Just a thought ...

Thanks Leon.
I've already started implementing an action hierarchy.
Before I started down this road, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing
more work than I needed to. =)

I don't know about a preferred way, but as I had to implement the
breadcrumbs, I had too choices, do it in the base action (which fits
perfectly for this kind of processing) or, if you don't have a
baseaction in your action hierarchy, use a servlet filter.
