[Stefan Groschupf]

Hi,

I had tried middlegen 2.0 betta but under the struts rider, wasn't something
to see.

Hi, i'm guessing you mean the struts tabs in the gui. Those are meant for
specifying preferences for the plugin (see for example the cmp plugin
tab). This has not yet been implemented on the struts plugin, and the tabs
are empty..

What happen behind the scene? How and what will be gernerated?

Hi,

what I have to do to "hack" the struts plugin to generate xml and xslt
struts sources? (model2)
Can I use the struts plugin "standalone"? I have a set of ejbs and want to
generate the struts sources.

Thanks for any hints!

Yes it does. Take a look in the following directories:
samples/build/gen-src/airline/web/struts - Generated actions and forms
samples/build/gen-webui/struts - Generated jsp files

Briefly middlegen builds an object model from the jdbc meta data. The
struts plugin is basically a set of velocity templates (one for each kind
of file to generate) and a java plugin file controlling this. Take a look
in the plugins/struts/src/middlegen/plugins/struts directory to see this.

I guess this plugin hasn't been that well documented yet. Also with things
like a web application, best thing we can do is given an example of how to
generate it. For specific stuff in an actual project, you'd probably have
to write your own struts plugin or modify the one already in there.

To hack the plugin take a look at the files in the plugins/struts
directory (as mentioned in previous mail).

Have a look at the webpage to see how to add your own template files:
http://boss.bekk.no/boss/middlegen/plugins/index.html

Using the plugin "standalone" will work as long as you want to generate
code based on the tables in your database. Ofcourse you'd need to rewrite
it to access your own ejbs instead of the generated ones if they are
different..
