Making submenus with tiles
Greetings, I've google'd the web and I haven't found any good advice
on how to make submenus with tiles.
What I have is a menu structure like this
Item1
subitem1
subitem2
Item2
subitem2
subitem2
...
How would I define this in a tiles-def? What I have so far is
something that looks like this:
<definition name="left.menu" path="/common/leftMenu.jsp" >
<putList name="menuItems">
<putList name="Item1">
<item value="subitem1" link="#"/>
<item value="subitem1" link="#/>
<item value="subitem1" link="#"/>
</putList>
<putList name="Item2">
<item value="subitem2" link="#"/>
<item value="subitem2" link="#/>
<item value="subitem2" link="#"/>
</putList>
</putList>
</definition>
However, this makes the iteration over the items ugly in the .jsp. Is
there an easier/better way to get what I'm after?
thanks,

Hi,
I don't know if there is a way to tell Struts to give you an empty
ActionForm, I suspect not, but you can always do it yourself in your
Action:
if (actionForm == null) {
actionForm = RequestUtils.createActionForm(request, mapping,
mapping.getModuleConfig(), getServlet());
}

Good catch Wendy! I jumped right to trying to get what he asked for and I
didn't even stop to think about WHY he was getting it in the first place
:(

Null usually means no form bean is associated with the Action. What
does the action mapping in struts-config.xml look like?

Null actionform
Posted by Xavier Vanderstukken <xv...@ionicsoft.com>.
Sometimes in my application, I call an action by this way :
<html:link action="/list.do" ................
In this case the ActionForm received in my struts action is null, is it
a way to obtain an empty form instead of a null form? (Of course not by
using a html:form)

Re: Making submenus with tiles

You could create your own bean with nested menuitems,
class MenuItem {
...
List getItems() {
return items;
}
...
void addMenuItem(MenuItem item) {
this.items.add(item);
}
//and so on
}
You can use <bean /> in tiles config, tiles controller or even a
servlet that places the menu in the application context (no tiles).
The tiles config gets a but uglier (if you go that route) , but jsps
come out cleaner..
