Description

« Hide

It would be great if the <strutsform> task could be run on its own - outside of the ejbdoclet task. The main reason for this is b/c the ejbdoclet task depends on javax.ejb.* which requires the user to have j2ee.jar in their classpath.

By removing this dependency, it makes things quite a bit easier.

I modified this tonight to make this change. With the new StrutsDoclet task, you can generate forms from POJOs with something like the following:

        <taskdef name="strutsdoclet"
            classname="xdoclet.modules.apache.struts.StrutsDocletTask"
            classpathref="xdoclet.classpath"/>

        
        <strutsdoclet
            destdir="${build.dir}/web/gen"
            excludedtags="@version,@author"
            addedtags="@xdoclet-generated at ${TODAY}"
            force="${xdoclet.force}">
            <fileset dir="src/dao"/>

            
            <strutsform destdir="${build.dir}/web/gen"
                templateFile="metadata/templates/struts_form.xdt">
                <packageSubstitution packages="model"
                    substituteWith="webapp.form"/>
            </strutsform>

        </strutsdoclet>

This patch is probably not as clean as it should be. It breaks the ejbdoclet task when running "ant samples". However, it does everything I need, since I don't use EJBs.

I've cleaned this up and now both the <strutsform> subtask of <ejbdoclet> will work, as well as I created a new <actionform> taghandler (and namespace) for this standalone stuff.

Rather than continuing to submit patches, please let me know when you're interested in committing this stuff - and I'll supply a patch then. I also cleaned up all the deprecation errors in the apache module.

Here's what the task looks like now in my build.xml.

        <taskdef name="strutsdoclet"
            classname="xdoclet.modules.apache.struts.StrutsDocletTask"
            classpathref="xdoclet.classpath"/>

        
        <strutsdoclet
            destdir="${build.dir}/web/gen"
            excludedtags="@version,@author"
            addedtags="@xdoclet-generated at ${TODAY}"
            force="${xdoclet.force}">
            <fileset dir="src/dao"/>

            
            <actionform destdir="${build.dir}/web/gen"
                templateFile="metadata/templates/struts_form.xdt">
                <packageSubstitution packages="model"
                    substituteWith="webapp.form"/>
            </actionform>

        </strutsdoclet>
