[S2] Menu Tag Library struts-config.xml problem.
Hello all,
I am used to JSF, and, trying to learn how to handle struts 2, I noticed
that there is no integrated tag to create menus (like richFaces, for
example).
So I found this library: "Struts-menu", which had initially been written for
Struts 1.
http://struts-menu.sourceforge.net/userguide.html
http://struts-menu.sourceforge.net/userguide.html
I guess you guys know it and I wonder how you made it work. I found a few
threads on this subjects but they were not really helpful for me:
according to the documentation, we have to configure the struts-config.xml
file. Ok, but I don't have any struts-config.xml file... I thought it was
not useful in struts 2.
Anyway, created one and I wrote this to reference the plugin:
<struts-config>
<plug-in className="net.sf.navigator.menu.MenuPlugIn">
<set-property property="menuConfig" value="/WEB-INF/menu-config.xml"/>
<!-- Default settings -->
</plug-in>
</struts-config>
Then I created the menu-config.xml file, with this code:
</MenuConfig>
<Displayers>
<Displayer name="TabbedMenu"
type="net.sf.navigator.displayer.TabbedMenuDisplayer"/>
</Displayers>
<Menus>
<Menu name="contactMenu" title="Contact" location="?Contact">
<Item name="email" title="E-Mail" location="?EMail"/>
<Item name="phone" title="Phone" location="?Phone"/>
</Menu>
</Menus>
</MenuConfig>
in summary, I did exactly what was written on the "userGuide" page. But I
still get this error that says that the menu repository could not be
obtained...
Looking on forums, I found that it could be because of a library, so I tried
to add every library included in the sample application which we can
download on the same website. Nothing helps...
By the way, this sample application does work, if I deploy it, but I cannot
find the way to make the menus work on my own project. Anyway, it seems that
this sample application is made with struts 1, so it does not really help in
my case.
I guess that I am not the only one that have or will have this problem, so
maybe someone who did it can give a summary of how to configure this library
on struts 2?
Actually, I wonder if the application considers the "struts-config.xml"
file, as it has not been referenced anywhere... I tried to add something in
the "web.xml" file to reference it, but then everything crashed, so now I
might give up... actually I would already have done it if I had found an
other menu-library ;-)
I hope someone will be able to answer my question, and I hope my text is
clear enough... :-)
regards,
sassien

oh, I thought it was talking about upgrading from struts 1.x to 2.x using
struts-menu...
All right then, I'll try to follow the "using struts menu outside of Struts"
docmentation...
thanks, sassien

That's talking about upgrading from 1.x to 2.x of Struts Menu isn't it?
I had a quick look at their Getting Started docs, and I think you would
want to follow the "Using Struts Menu outside of Struts" documentation.
The only thing I see that's Struts 1 specific is the plug-in
configuration in struts-config.xml (a configuration file that is not
used in Struts 2).

Of course, but in this page there is a section "To upgrade from Struts Menu
1.x to Struts Menu 2.x"... So I guess it should work with this. I wouldn't
have even tried if there hadn't been this section...
Anyway, I think someone managed already, and I would like to know how to
configure the files... %-|

I don't know about S2/Struts-Menu integration, but I guarantee you that
blindly following instructions for an S1 application has no chance of working
in a typical S2 application.
