Struts and XHTML
Hi all,
I'm a newbie to STRUTS, so please forgive my ignorance!
1. Does STRUTS support XHTML? Struts tags seem to generate uppercase tag
names, which is invalid XHTML...
2. When STRUTS generates an <input> element, the unique identifier for the
field is placed in the name attribute (deprecated since HTML 4.0 or even
earlier) and not the id attribute.
3. Does STRUTS-generated HTML in general honor well-formed XML restrictions
(eg closing end tags, quoting attribute values, etc)?
Finally, where is the STRUTS FAQ page?
Regards,
Agnes Clarke

XHTML is not supported directly, but the "html" tag library strives to render
code that is compatible with most XHTML requirements.
Which tags in particular are you finding generate upper case tag names? There
were some tags in 0.5 that produced mixed case attributes, but AFAIK all the
tags rendered with current 1.0 code are pure lower case.

I missed catching that one -- let me look into it further.

Yes, to the maximum degree feasible. It renders closing tags for all the
"open" tags that have nested content (like <form> and <html>), but does not
render XML-style no content tags (<br/>) with the trailing slash included. All
attribute values are quoted.
Of course, Struts has no control over the non-Struts tags -- it is still up to
the page designer to create valid syntax of the entire page.

There is not really a FAQ page per se -- the best source of information is
searching the STRUTS-USER mailing list archives.

I've tried on three different occasions to learn emacs, but it works so
darned different from everything else on MS Windows that it just never
clicked.
I too prefer using a programmers editor more than an IDE. Lately, I've been
using jedit, which is slow, but has better java support than my former
editor and is Open Source. Anyway, I'd be interested in hearing other
people's suggestions as well.

Not to start any sort of editor Jihad, but emacs does all the above
mentioned stuff (plus tons more) and it's free. (Works on NT, too.)

I like UltraEdit if you're on Windows as a editor. It
is pretty light, but it does syntax highlighting for
java, jsp, html, perl, sql, c++, etc. Opens any file
(binary, text, unix-dos-windows line returns and file
types) and can open files through FTP. It has a
column mode which makes it nice to comment out a
number of rows. It's only $30 dollars. I used to use
Visual Cafe a lot, but it's nice to be in something
that doesn't grind away at the hard drive and take up
so much memory.

I believe I've added the Powered by Struts sites submitted to this
thread so far. Thanks so much!
I've also fleshed out more of the "kickstart" FAQ at
< http://husted.com/about/struts/kickstart.html >.
There are still three questions on my list, in case anyone wants to
jump in.
+ What development tool should I use?
+ How do I develop a Struts application?
+ How do I troubleshoot a problem with a Struts application?
I've some notes about these at the bottom of the page, again, in case
anyone wants to jump in ;-).
When this is complete, I'll propose it for the documentation package.
Of course, any comments or suggestions would be welcome!

The registration and logon section of this site use
struts. It has just recently gone live.

Ted's FAQ "What Web sites are already Powered by Struts?"
Posted by Dan Connelly <ds...@adelphia.net>.
a.. Brewtrade - http://java-genius.com/
b.. TeaTimeJ - http://www.webappcabaret.com/teatimej/
What! Only two public sites powered by Struts? And, java-genius.com always gives me a DNS error anyway. So there's really only one site in this list that I would dare suggest to people who ask me about Struts in the real world.
There must be more public sites than this. There's http://jakarta.apache.org/struts at least (although it doesn't do anything showy).
Please help me explain to MVC-clueless colleagues and bosses why I am spending so much time getting into Jakarta Struts (as opposed to the superficially similar, released, commercial, freely downloadable JSP taglibs, like Allaire's JRun Tag Library or WDIG's TeaServlets). Please post up some additions to Ted's list.
Also, how about adding more "Struts competitors" to my list of two? (And, while you're at it, do the competitive analysis.)

If I ever get enough of it done, we can propose it for the
documentation.
If anyone wants to pickup on one of the listed questions, don't
hesitate!
Unfortunately, the interactive Jakarta FAQ-o-Matic is still out of
commission. I was able to have them open up a Struts category, but my
account doesn't have sufficient karma to add questions :-(
