RE: Problem with Struts in VAJ 3.5.3 WTE

[Maria Laura Velazquez <ml...@spcom.com.ar>]

Hi!,
	I'm Mar�a Laura, and I have the problem mentioned here: the employeelist
app index.jsp page throws the following error:

Mensaje: Server caught unhandled exception from servlet [jsp]: Missing
message for key index.title

	Firstly, I edited the ApplicationResourses.properties files, adding the key
index.title, because it wasn't here.

	Second, I have added the extra-path:
c:\archivos de programa/ibm/visualage for java/ide/project_resources/ibm
websphere test environment/hosts/default_host/employeelist/WEB-INF/classes


and the following directory structure :

		employeelist->
			index.jsp
			jsp->
				*.jsp
				*.webapp
				WEB-INF->
					*.tld, *.xml, *.dtd
					classes->
					ApplicationResourses.properties

			WEB-INF->
					*.tld, *.xml, *.dtd
					classes->
					ApplicationResourses.properties

	And it didn't work.

	Also, I edited the EmployeeEdit.jsp page and added the following line (that
appears in index.jsp):

		<title><bean:message key="index.title"/></title>


	Surprisingly, I hadn't the error for the key index.title, but the title for
my page was: <bean:message key="index.title"/> !!!

	Has anybody some idea about this? how can I solve this problem?

	Excuse me for my english.

	Regards.

	ML

Hi

Thanks John, I tried recreating the directory structure of your webapp but
it unfortunately didn't help (I take it your employeelist webapp thus has
a document root of $approot$/web is that correct?).

Igor, that you have it working without changes makes me think that there
may be something wrong with my setup.

This is my webapp definition:

<websphere-webgroup name="employeelist">
       <description>EmployeeList Webgroup</description>
       <document-root>$approot$</document-root>
       <classpath>$approot$</classpath>
       <root-uri>/employeelist</root-uri>
       <auto-reload enabled="true" polling-interval="3000"/>
       <shared-context>false</shared-context>
</websphere-webgroup>

and my directory structure:

employeelist
  ->index.jsp

  jsp
     ->employeeEdit.jsp
     ->employeeList.jsp
     ->employeeSearch.jsp

  Web-inf
    ->all the .XML, .DTD and .TLD files

    classes
      ->ApplicationResources.properties

I also have

<va root>/ide/project_resources/ibm websphere test
environment/hosts/default_host/employeelist/WEB-INF/classes;
<va root>/ide/project_resources/ibm websphere test
environment/hosts/default_host/employeelist/WEB-INF;

in the extra directories list.

The webapp itself works ok (I tested the HelloWorld servlet).

Is index.jsp necessary for the employeelist demo?

Thanks

Steve

I've got the employeelist working fine in WTE 3.5.3 without any changes and
now I'm testing my app with the same structure.
It looks like the key for access to ApplicationResources.properties file is
to put the following in extra class path in WTE:

d:/program files/ibm/visualage for java/ide/project_resources/ibm websphere
test environment/hosts/default_host/myApp/WEB-INF/classes

Any Comments on Layout tags

[bill milbratz <mi...@neodesic.com>]

Hello struts users,

I followed up with olivierbazoud's post yesterday regarding the layout tags 
listed at http://struts.application-servers.com/ .

I definitely liked the underlying motives for the tags and the efforts to 
simplify even further programming of standard maintenance screens:
 >Hundreds of screens
 >Developers with very different backgrounds, including people with 20 
years of experience in Cobol and without a good knowledge of new technology
 >All developers need to be able to develop application screens.
 >That kind of application has 3 types of very simple screens: selectors, 
lists and cards.
 >The look and feel of the applications is very strict.
 >The screen designers have no freedom to choose it.

They seem, indeed, to simplify  programming.  My question: are folks using 
these widely? Does anyone have any tips/techniques words of wisdom on their 
use?

thanks in advance,

bill milbratz
