[ANN] Wildcard-Matched Actions

[Don Brown <mr...@twdata.org>]

This project allows wildcards to be used in Struts 1.1+ action mappings. The 
wildcard-matched values can then be substituted in the values of various 
Struts action mapping and action forward attributes. It uses the wildcard 
matching class from Apache Cocoon which is the default matching class used to 
match XML transformation pipelines.

The bottom line of this project is you can write generic actions that can be 
used to match multiple actions. Even the "type" attribute which specifies the 
Action class can have wildcard-matched values substituted to match multiple 
Action classes for one action mapping. It also works great for Struts 
applications that use DispatchActions or other generic Actions.

For example:
        <action    path="/edit*"
                   type="org.twdata.struts.ScriptAction"
              attribute="{1}Form"
                  scope="request"
               validate="false"
              parameter="/WEB-INF/scripts/Edit{1}.bsh">
           
            <forward name="failure"              path="/mainMenu.jsp"/>
            <forward name="success"              path="/{1}.jsp"/>
        </action>

Struts-resume app & session facade

[Martin Naskovski <mn...@san.rr.com>]

Hi, I was looking at Matt Raible's Struts-Resume application and
it seems he's using Hibernate to do his persistence. One thing I'm not
100% clear on is - which part of his application represents the
Session Facade pattern? Is it the *Manager.java classes or is this
pattern non-existent in this app? If EJB's were to be added to the
application, wouldn't there need to be a Session Facade at that point,
and which would that be? Obviously, the Manager classes are called
BD's, which are a separate pattern from Session Facade.... So I just
wasn't sure about the delination of these two.

Has anyone looked at this closely and what's their opinion on the
division of these two layers/pattern within struts-resume?

Thanks.
martin
