Oracle Portal v Struts

[Pr...@ubsw.com]

I am working on a project which was going to use Struts within Oracle Portal. I've been told that there are incompatibilities between Struts, WebSphere 4, and Oracle Portal. There is now a push from some people in the company to use Oracle Portal completely and not use Struts - perhaps taking across some of the Struts components. 

I'd like an objective assessment.

Questions:

1. Please can you provide a comparison between Oracle Portal and Struts, together with advantages and disadvantages. I realise this is the Struts group :) However, at the moment I'm hearing only the advantages of using Oracle Portal. If you have experience of both, that would be great.

2. Which Struts components can be re-used? Can the Struts taglibs, e.g. for HTML, be used without Struts?

TIA

It may be hard for most of us to answer this, as we most likely don't know what
Oracle Portal does.  We can't compare Struts with something we know nothing
about.  If you could provide some overview or purpose information for Oracle
Portal, it might help.

You could also ask a question like this on the Oracle OTN forum related to the
Portal product.  I haven't noticed one specific to Portal, but I wouldn't be
surprised if there was one.

setting the struts action

[Samit Goyal <sa...@tatainfotech.com>]

Hi,

I am modifying a struts application generated by tool StrutsGenerator from
javanovic.com. The problem i m getting in this is that i am setting the
strutsaction before loading a jsp. and then in the click of save button and
in the method "performSave" of action class when i am not able to retrieve
the struts action. Only the struts action which were set by the tool are
reflected back in the method whereas not the others.

Can you please help me out ??

otherwise, can i use different action mappings for Save. the save button, I
m creating is with <HTML:SUBMIT> tag.

Thirdly, what is the meaning of INPUT attribute in an action mapping?




Please help me out in any or all of the above doubts ...

Thanks and regards,
Samit
