struts integration

it would be great if someone had an example showingf how onw could integrate ActiveWidget directly into a struts framework. eg. display info returned from an action.

Hi

I have been using grid for two weeks and I really like it.

I'm developing a web application under Struts Framework. The following is the first code I built to get an aswer from a Struts Action in XML Format and display it on a grid.

The process is:

1. invoke the Struts Action: inicioRolesTerceros (class ControlRolesTercerosAction )

2. receive the XML and built an Array wich will feed the grid

3. write the grid to the document

THE Struts Action Code:

public class ControlRolesTercerosAction extends MappingDispatchAction {
    
     private static final int delta = 10;   
    
     public ActionForward inicioRolesTerceros(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,

         /*
              Here I connect to a Data Base, get the elements  inside
               an array ob Object  an pass it to a method to construct the
               XML
  
          */
         
        Object[]  res =  giveMeElementsFromDataBase();      
          
        String xml = this.getXMLRoles(res);        


        response.setContentType("text/xml");
        response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();    
        out.println(xml);
        out.flush();
        return null;

        }



     private String getXMLRoles(Object[] res ) throws Exception{
         
   
         String xml += "    <registros> " + ParametrosComunes.nuevaLinea;
         
         for (Object o : res) {             
            RolForm rol = (RolForm)o;
            xml += " <rolTercero>";
            xml += " <id>" + rol.getId()+ "</id>";
            xml += " <nombre>" + rol.getNombre() + "</nombre>";
            xml += "<descripcion>" + rol.getDescripcion() + "</descripcion>";
            xml += "<reservado>" + rol.getReservado() + "</reservado>";
            xml += "<validoPersonas>" + rol.getValidoPersonas() + "</validoPersonas>";
            xml += "<validoOrganizaciones>" + rol.getValidoOrganizaciones() + "</validoOrganizaciones>";
            xml += " </rolTercero>";            
         }
         xml += "</registros>";
         
         return xml;
         
         
     }

this is so far what I'm doing. I change the original code to make it more readable, tell me I miss something but I guess with this code you can figure it out.

I built an Array with the XML I receive from the server to feed the grid because when I try to feed the grid with the XML I got some Error: something like "xml.setProperty is not a function" I still don't know what is that error about

hi Pablo,

I am trying to use this Active widgets, so if something is
up and running it would be easier to work from there.

so request u to please put the entire jsp file and ControlRolesTercerosAction.java file which is running.
or mail to naren_mails@yahoo.com

And if possible please can u tell the steps what I need to do
to make your application running.



Thanks and Regards,
