Future of Enumerate tag

[Rob Leland <Ro...@freetocreate.org>]

Is the org.apache.struts.taglib.Enumerate tag 
going to go away with the other 0.5 tags ?

We currently have data structures that use the
enumerate interface. Is there any chance this
could be migrated into the struts 1.0 taglib ?

Expresso Framework 3.0 Release

[Flying Cloud <fl...@prodigy.net>]

As you might know Expresso Framework version 3.0 was released yesterday - an
application development framework under an open source Apache-Style license.
For the next release, Jcorporate in collaboration with community developers,
will be integrating Struts with Expresso. The technologies are
complementary. The Struts integration discussion is underway on our Expresso
Developers Forum at:
http://www.jcorporate.com/components/internal/projframe.jsp?category=65
I wanted to let this list know and invite anyone who would like to
participate in the discussions and development.

For more information on the new release please see: Open Standards
Application Development Framework Brews Third Major Release
http://www.jcorporate.com/html/news/Press/ExpressoRelease3.0.html. Expresso
has more than 30,000 downloads and 2700 developers on its listserv.

Fully decoupling the VIEW from the CONTROL

[Rob Leland <Ro...@freetocreate.org>]

  
Given an action mapping with these attributes set:
 
    <!-- Process a admin logon -->
    <action   path="/admin/logon"
              type="com.solers.portal.pcontrol.admin.LogonAction"
              name="logonForm"
              scope="request"
              validate="true"
              input="/admin/logonVue.jsp">
      <forward name="success"   path="/admin/mainMenu.jsp"/>
    </action>

and if additionally we could tell struts via the struts-config.xml that 

the input .jsp file was guranteed to only have ONE and only one action

Then couldn't the action attribute in the FormTag become optional ?


So this:

 <html:form action="/logon" focus="username">

would become this:

 <html:form focus="username">

which would FULLY uncouple the VIEW file from the CONTROL ?

You are right ... that's a bug.  The intent was that an Enumeration should
work as well.  That will be fixed soon.

Unless I am using the tag wrong. I looked at 

org.apache.struts.taglib.logic.IterateTag.java

and don't find 'Enumeration' anywhere in the source
code, so I assume it doesn't support 'Enumeration'.

As far as I know, the <logic:iterate> tag can loop over anything that the
old enumerate tag can loop over.  Therefore, it didn't seem necessary to
have two looping tags (one a superset of the other) in 1.0.  Is this not
the case?
