Getting Crazy! Struts RAD
I'm REALLY (REALLY) satisfied with struts and have many projects in
production running like a charm.. I've my classes, my taglibs, my
solutions, everything is great BUT I'm starting to realize that lately I
spend more time getting the whole framework to work than coding! I've
to create the forms, converting the html tags, setting the templates or
using the decorator pattern (other configuration issues) , building the
mappings, modifying the web.xml etc...etc.. It takes a couple of hours to
code the business logic and a week to configure struts ;D
Are there RAD tools that allow building a form like Dreamweaver and
output skeleton classes and configuration files? I need nothing to
complex, I mean a point and click solution that outputs not working code
(just a skeleton) not a overcomplex application that does everything
even if you don't want it and takes 6 months to fully understand it.
Don't tell me to go to the Husted site, I just want an advice not links
Thanx in advance

I haven't tested yet, but according to the struts resources page,
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/resources/guis.html, JForms seems to do
what you need.
>>From the web site http://www.solanasoft.com/products.html :
"JForms takes care of all of the details of configuring Struts, including
web.xml configuration, adding entries to the struts-config.xml file,
generating application resource strings, and of course, Struts Forms and
Actions."
"Finally, JForms packages your code as a standard WAR file, and deploys it
to an embedded Tomcat server, ready for testing. You can even launch a
browser to test your form without leaving the JForms environment."

Thanx Howard,
Easy Strut is available for Eclipse and JBuilder at http://easystruts.sf.net
Eclipse version is more advanced and next version will use XSL transformation for java/jsp
generation...to be continued...
Thx,

Hi,
I use easy-struts (and JBuilder). Its quite basic really, and the jsp's it produces are a
little rough - but you would change them anyway whatver it produced. It does though
set up the jsp, the form bean, the action class, and puts the entries in the config file.
Takes quite a bit of the pain out of creating a new page. No documentation to speak
of, but its fairly obvious.
I also use struts-console, which helps in editing the struts-config file.
It has helped me no-end, as there is so much to set up, I always forgot something!
