Struts and XML

[B Schwartz]

Sorry I am really a novice regarding struts. Does the framework include any utilities or modules that expedite the use of XML in the presentation tier? I realize we can code JAXP or something like that - I am just curious if the framework can replace some custom coding??

Hi maybe the Stxx development has some interest for you :
http://stxx.sourceforge.net/index.html
Hope this helps,
Kai

The XTags library provides very useful tags for XSLT transformation.

Hi,
do you allready know StrutsCX?

StrutsCX is Struts with Castor XML and XSLT - but without JSP. Therefore strickt seperation of business logic from presentation brings development closer to the MVC pattern. In addition it allways outputs well-formed XML (what JSP does not guaranty) and is much more flexible on the presentation layer.
Features:

Lightweight framework running on any Servlet Engine or J2EE Application Server.

Simple and fast to implement.

Support of internationalization. IS0-8859-1 and any other language, like chinese, korean, arabic, too!

StrutsCXServlet: Replaces Struts JSP and Message Ressources features with a pure XML and XSLT solution 100% internationalizable.

Output of 100% standard conform XML, XHTML, XSL-FO, WML or whatever you like.

Simple validation error mechanism.

Persists via Castor XML.

Prototype featuring the CRUD cycle (Create, Reatrieve, Update, Delete) and support for english, german and korean language.

Hi, Kai Unewisse !
Your information is very helpful.
But the url is obsolete (I think it is caused by that sourceforge change the file's url mapping, and I don't think this behavior is good.)
The new URL of Stxx is:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/stxx/
