Struts (1.3) Tags Developer Guides

html

This taglib contains tags used to create struts input forms, as well as other tags generally useful in the creation of HTML-based user interfaces.

Many of the tags in this tag library will throw a JspException at runtime when they are utilized incorrectly (such as when you specify an invalid combination of tag attributes). JSP allows you to declare an "error page" in the <%@ page %> directive. If you wish to process the actual exception that caused the problem, it is passed to the error page as a request attribute under key org.apache.struts.action.EXCEPTION.

This is version 1.3.

<html:base>

Render an HTML <base> Element

Renders an HTML <base> element with an href attribute pointing to the absolute location of the enclosing JSP page. This tag is valid only when nested inside an HTML <head> element.

This tag is useful because it allows you to use relative URL references in the page that are calculated based on the URL of the page itself, rather than the URL to which the most recent submit took place (which is where the browser would normally resolve relative references against).

<html:errors>

Conditionally display a set of accumulated error messages.

Displays a set of error messages prepared by a business logic component and stored as an ActionMessages object, an ActionErrors object, a String, or a String array in any scope. If such a bean is not found, nothing will be rendered.

In order to use this tag successfully, you must have defined an application scope MessageResources bean under the default attribute name, with optional definitions of message keys specified in the following attributes:

header - Text that will be rendered before the error messages list. Typically, this message text will end with <ul> to start the error messages list (default "errors.header").
footer - Text that will be rendered after the error messages list. Typically, this message text will begin with </ul> to end the error messages list (default "errors.footer").
prefix - Text that will be rendered before each individual error in the list (default "errors.prefix").
suffix - Text that will be rendered after each individual error in the list (default "errors.suffix").

See the messages tag for an alternative to this tag that does not rely on HTML in your MessageResources.

<html:frame>

Render an HTML frame element

Renders an HTML <frame> element with processing for the src attribute that is identical to that performed by the <html:link> tag for the href attribute. URL rewriting will be applied automatically, to maintain session state in the absence of cookies.

The base URL for this frame is calculated based on which of the following attributes you specify (you must specify exactly one of them):

forward - Use the value of this attribute as the name of a global ActionForward to be looked up, and use the module-relative or context-relative URI found there.
href - Use the value of this attribute unchanged.
page - Use the value of this attribute as a module-relative URI, and generate a server-relative URI by including the context path and application prefix.
action - Use the value of this attribute as the logical name of a global Action that contains the actual content-relative URI of the destination of this transfer.

Normally, the hyperlink you specify with one of the attributes described in the previous paragraph will be left unchanged (other than URL rewriting if necessary). However, there are two ways you can append one or more dynamically defined query parameters to the hyperlink -- specify a single parameter with the paramId attribute (and its associated attributes to select the value), or specify the name (and optional property) attributes to select a java.util.Map bean that contains one or more parameter ids and corresponding values.

To specify a single parameter, use the paramId attribute to define the name of the request parameter to be submitted. To specify the corresponding value, use one of the following approaches:

Specify only the paramName attribute - The named JSP bean (optionally scoped by the value of the paramScope attribute) must identify a value that can be converted to a String.
Specify both the paramName and paramProperty attributes - The specified property getter method will be called on the JSP bean identified by the paramName (and optional paramScope) attributes, in order to select a value that can be converted to a String.

If you prefer to specify a java.util.Map that contains all of the request parameters to be added to the hyperlink, use one of the following techniques:

Specify only the name attribute - The named JSP bean (optionally scoped by the value of the scope attribute) must identify a java.util.Map containing the parameters.
Specify both name and property attributes - The specified property getter method will be called on the bean identified by the name (and optional scope) attributes, in order to return the java.util.Map containing the parameters.

As the Map is processed, the keys are assumed to be the names of query parameters to be appended to the hyperlink. The value associated with each key must be either a String or a String array representing the parameter value(s), or an object whose toString() method will be called. If a String array is specified, more than one value for the same query parameter name will be created.

Additionally, you can request that the current transaction control token, if any, be included in the generated hyperlink by setting the transaction attribute to true. You can also request that an anchor ("#xxx") be added to the end of the URL that is created by any of the above mechanisms, by using the anchor attribute.

<html:img>

Render an HTML img tag

Renders an HTML <img> element with the image at the specified URL. Like the link tag, URL rewriting will be applied automatically to the value specified in src, page, or action to maintain session state in the absence of cookies. This will allow dynamic generation of an image where the content displayed for this image will be taken from the attributes of this tag.

The base URL for this image is calculated directly based on the value specified in src, page, or action or page, or indirectly by looking up a message resource string based on the srcKey or pageKey attributes. You must specify exactly one of these attributes.

Normally, the src, page, or action that you specify will be left unchanged (other than URL rewriting if necessary). However, there are two ways you can append one or more dynamically defined query parameters to the src URL -- specify a single parameter with the paramId attribute (at its associated attributes to select the value), or specify the name (and optional property) attributes to select a java.util.Map bean that contains one or more parameter ids and corresponding values.

To specify a single parameter, use the paramId attribute to define the name of the request parameter to be submitted. To specify the corresponding value, use one of the following approaches:

Specify only the paramName attribute - The named JSP bean (optionally scoped by the value of the paramScope attribute) must identify a value that can be converted to a String.
Specify both the paramName and paramProperty attributes - The specified property getter will be called on the JSP bean identified by the paramName (and optional paramScope) attributes, in order to select a value that can be converted to a String.

If you prefer to specify a java.util.Map that contains all of the request parameters to be added to the hyperlink, use one of the following techniques:

Specify only the name attribute - The named JSP bean (optionally scoped by the value of the scope attribute) must identify a java.util.Map containing the parameters.
Specify both name and property attributes - The specified property getter method will be called on the bean identified by the name (and optional scope) attributes, in order to return the java.util.Map containing the parameters.

As the Map is processed, the keys are assumed to be the names of query parameters to be appended to the src URL. The value associated with each key must be either a String or a String array representing the parameter value(s), or an object whose toString() method will be called. If a String array is specified, more than one value for the same query parameter name will be created.

You can specify the alternate text for this image (which most browsers display as pop-up text block when the user hovers the mouse over this image) either directly, through the alt attribute, or indirectly from a message resources bundle, using the bundle and altKey attributes.

Can contain: empty

<html:javascript>

Render JavaScript validation based on the validation rules loaded by the ValidatorPlugIn.

Render JavaScript validation based on the validation rules loaded by the ValidatorPlugIn. The set of validation rules that should be generated is based on the formName attribute passed in, which should match the name attribute of the form element in the xml file.

The dynamicJavascript and staticJavascript attributes default to true, but if dynamicJavascript is set to true and staticJavascript is set to false then only the dynamic JavaScript will be rendered. If dynamicJavascript is set to false and staticJavascript is set to true then only the static JavaScript will be rendered which can then be put in separate JSP page so the browser can cache the static JavaScript.

<html:link>

Render an HTML anchor or hyperlink

Renders an HTML <a> element as an anchor definition (if "linkName" is specified) or as a hyperlink to the specified URL. URL rewriting will be applied automatically, to maintain session state in the absence of cookies. The content displayed for this hyperlink will be taken from the body of this tag.

The base URL for this hyperlink is calculated based on which of the following attributes you specify (you must specify exactly one of them):

forward - Use the value of this attribute as the name of a global ActionForward to be looked up, and use the module-relative or context-relative URI found there. If the forward is module-relative then it must point to an action and NOT to a page.
action - Use the value of this attribute as the name of a Action to be looked up, and use the module-relative or context-relative URI found there.
href - Use the value of this attribute unchanged.
page - Use the value of this attribute as a module-relative URI, and generate a server-relative URI by including the context path and module prefix.

Normally, the hyperlink you specify with one of the attributes described in the previous paragraph will be left unchanged (other than URL rewriting if necessary). However, there are three ways you can append one or more dynamically defined query parameters to the hyperlink -- specify a single parameter with the paramId attribute (and its associated attributes to select the value), or specify the name (and optional property) attributes to select a java.util.Map bean that contains one or more parameter ids and corresponding values, or nest one or more <html:param> tags in the tag body.

To specify a single parameter, use the paramId attribute to define the name of the request parameter to be submitted. To specify the corresponding value, use one of the following approaches:

Specify only the paramName attribute - The named JSP bean (optionally scoped by the value of the paramScope attribute) must identify a value that can be converted to a String.
Specify both the paramName and paramProperty attributes - The specified property getter method will be called on the JSP bean identified by the paramName (and optional paramScope) attributes, in order to select a value that can be converted to a String.

If you prefer to specify a java.util.Map that contains all of the request parameters to be added to the hyperlink, use one of the following techniques:

Specify only the name attribute - The named JSP bean (optionally scoped by the value of the scope attribute) must identify a java.util.Map containing the parameters.
Specify both name and property attributes - The specified property getter method will be called on the bean identified by the name (and optional scope) attributes, in order to return the java.util.Map containing the parameters.

Supplmenting these two methods, you can nest one or more <html:param> tags to dynamically add parameters in a logic-friendly way (such as executing a for loop that assigns the name/value pairs at runtime). This method does not compete with the aforementioned; it will adds its parameters in addition to whatever parameters are already specified.

<html:multibox>

Render A Checkbox Input Field

Renders an HTML <input> element of type checkbox, whose "checked" status is initialized based on whether the specified value matches one of the elements of the underlying property's array of current values. This element is useful when you have large numbers of checkboxes, and prefer to combine the values into a single array-valued property instead of multiple boolean properties. This tag is only valid when nested inside a form tag body.

WARNING: In order to correctly recognize cases where none of the associated checkboxes are selected, the ActionForm bean associated with this form must include a statement setting the corresponding array to zero length in the reset() method.

The value to be returned to the server, if this checkbox is selected, must be defined by one of the following methods:

Specify a value attribute, whose contents will be used literally as the value to be returned.
Specify no value attribute, and the nested body content of this tag will be used as the value to be returned.

Also note that a map backed attribute cannot be used to hold a the String[] for a group of multibox tags.

<html:options>

Render a Collection of Select Options

Renders a set of HTML <option> elements, representing possible choices for a <select> element. This tag can be used multiple times within a single <html:select> element, either in conjunction with or instead of one or more <html:option> or <html:optionsCollection> elements.

This tag operates in one of two major modes, depending on whether or not the collection attribute is specified. If the collection attribute is included, the following rules apply:

The collection attribute is interpreted as the name of a JSP bean, in some scope, that itself represents a collection of individual beans, one per option value to be rendered.
The property attribute is interpreted as the name of a property of the individual beans included in the collection, and is used to retrieve the value that will be returned to the server if this option is selected.
The labelProperty attribute is interpreted as the name of a property of the individual beans included in the collection, and is used to retrieve the label that will be displayed to the user for this option. If the labelProperty attribute is not specified, the property named by the property attribute will be used to select both the value returned to the server and the label displayed to the user for this option.

If the collection attribute is not specified, the rules described in the remainder of this section apply.

The collection of values actually selected depends on the presence or absence of the name and property attributes. The following combinations are allowed:

Only name is specified - The value of this attribute is the name of a JSP bean in some scope that is the collection.
Only property is specified - The value of this attribute is the name of a property of the ActionForm bean associated with our form, which will return the collection.
Both name and property are specified - The value of the name attribute identifies a JSP bean in some scope. The value of the property attribute is the name of some property of that bean which will return the collection.

The collection of labels displayed to the user can be the same as the option values themselves, or can be different, depending on the presence or absence of the labelName and labelProperty attributes. If this feature is used, the collection of labels must contain the same number of elements as the corresponding collection of values. The following combinations are allowed:

Neither labelName nor labelProperty is specified - The labels will be the same as the option values themselves.
Only labelName is specified - The value of this attribute is the name of a JSP bean in some scope that is the collection.
Only labelProperty is specified - The value of this attribute is the name of a property of the ActionForm bean associated with our form, which will return the collection.
Both labelName and labelProperty are specified - The value of the labelName attribute identifies a JSP bean in some scope. The value of the labelProperty attribute is the name of some property of that bean which will return the collection.

Note that this tag does not support a styleId attribute, as it would have to apply the value to all the option elements created by this element, which would mean that more than one id element might have the same value, which the HTML specification says is illegal.

<html:select>

Render A Select Element

Renders an HTML <select> element, associated with a bean property specified by our attributes. This tag is only valid when nested inside a form tag body.

This tag operates in two modes, depending upon the state of the multiple attribute, which affects the data type of the associated property you should use:

multiple="true" IS NOT selected - The corresponding property should be a scalar value of any supported data type.
multiple="true" IS selected - The corresponding property should be an array of any supported data type.

WARNING: In order to correctly recognize cases where no selection at all is made, the ActionForm bean associated with this form must include a statement resetting the scalar property to a default value (if multiple is not set), or the array property to zero length (if multiple is set) in the reset() method.

<html:xhtml>

Render HTML tags as XHTML

Using this tag in a page tells all other html taglib tags to render themselves as XHTML 1.0. This is useful when composing pages with JSP includes or Tiles. <html:html xhtml="true"> has a similar effect. This tag has no attributes; you use it like this: <html:xhtml/>.

Note: Included pages do not inherit the rendering style of the including page. Each JSP fragment or Tile must use this tag to render as XHTML.

Can contain: empty

This tag has no attributes.
