newbie to struts - confirm hierachy( packages - webapps)!!
Hi, i have constructed a web app within my file system as follows:-
C:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\struts-bbnpa\WEB-INF\classes\logon\LogonForm.java
The struts-bbnpa is were im placing all my work. thus the examples
custom and logon packages are beneath my classes directory. Thus is this
the correct procedure as im about to venture into JDBC Project
(Postgresql) and im not sure weather the packages are one level above
\WEB-INF dir.
Any suggestions and confirmation extremely welcomed. Cheers inadvance.

You could take a look at Part 2 of Strut by Strut, under Coming Soon at
< http://www.husted.com/about/struts/ >
I'm working on some generic Access, Search, and Result actions there.
Though, the usual approach would be that control goes to an action that
manages the data retrieval and forwards the result to another JSP for
display.

Newie question
Posted by Torsten Terp <tt...@stofanet.dk>.
Hi,
Im I have just started using Struts and the idea
of the framework seems great!! I could however
use some help getting started the right way!!
I want to do as folows:
A jsp page with an input fields takes as input
a string used to perform a seach in a database.
E.g., a substring of the name of some customer.
Control is forwarded to another jsp that displays
the results, e.g., the customernames containing the
substring provided in the input field above. These
customernames should be displayed in a html:select
Selecting one of the customers will result in another
search which retrieves all data for that particular
customer and displays it in another frame.
Im thinkind this is a pretty generic setup, so my
question is if anybody has example code of this.
Im using the jBoss application server as the model,
so its not the database pooling from struts im after,
its the control flow and populating the jsp's....
It would be greatly apreciated. Thanks in advance...

Some people like to keep the source Java files at a separate location,
and then have Ant copy them over to the classes directory, but mixing
the class and java files in the same folder works too.
Personally, when using a package hierarchy for my classes, I tend to
just name things
.\logon\Form.java
But, yes you should either put your packages class files below the
classes directory, or in a JAR in the lib folder. For development at
least, you probably just want to put them under classes.
We put these under the WEB-INF folder so that they cannot be directly
accessed by a client program (e.g. Web browser), only by the
application.

I decided to NOT use the Struts.jar, but instead use the Struts source files, and then add my own directories below the classes directory for that particular web app. That way I could tweak Struts and have a better way of replacing updates to the classes. My setup is like this:
1) Struts framework - /struts/org/apache/struts etc... with my classpath pointing to /struts
2) My framework - /vnu/com/vnu/.... etc... with my classpath pointing to /vnu
3) My classes for the particular web app -
WEB-INF/classes/com/mywebapp/actions
WEB-INF/classes/com/mywebapp/forms
WEB-INF/classes/com/mywebapp/globals
WEB-INF/classes/com/mywebapp/models
WEB-INF/classes/com/mywebapp/taglib
with the classpath pointing to WEB-INF/classes
