Page Construction Tags

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.

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).

Attribute Name Description
target

The window target for this base reference.

[RT Expr]
server

The server name to use instead of request.getServerName().

value

NOTE: When setting this to some value, whether intentional or as the result (for example) of validation errors forcing the user back to the original jsp, this value is ignored by most browsers (for security reasons). This means that your users will have to re-select any previously selected files when submitting the form. Opera web browser will prompt the user so they have a chance to abort the submit.

Value to which this field should be initialized. [Use the corresponding bean property value or body content (if any) if property is not specified] [RT Expr]

form - Define An Input Form

Renders an HTML <form> element whose contents are described by the body content of this tag. The form implicitly interacts with the specified request scope or session scope bean to populate the input fields with the current property values from the bean.

The form bean is located, and created if necessary, based on the form bean specification for the associated ActionMapping.

Attribute Name Description
action

The URL to which this form will be submitted. This value is also used to select the ActionMapping we are assumed to be processing, from which we can identify the appropriate form bean and scope.

If you are using extension mapping for selecting the controller servlet, this value should be equal to the path attribute of the corresponding <action> element, optionally followed by the correct extension suffix.

If you are using path mapping to select the controller servlet, this value should be exactly equal to the path attribute of the corresponding <action> element.

[Required] [RT Expr]
acceptCharset The list of character encodings for input data that the server should accept.

Since: Struts 1.2.2

[RT Expr]
enctype The content encoding to be used to submit this form, if the method is POST. This must be set to "multipart/form-data" if you are using the file tag to enable file upload. If not specified, the browser default (normally "application/x-www-form-urlencoded") is used. [RT Expr]
focus The field name (among the fields on this form) to which initial focus will be assigned with a JavaScript function. If not specified, no special JavaScript for this purpose will be rendered. [RT Expr]
focusIndex If the focus field is a field array, such as a radio button group, you can specify the index in the array to receive focus.

Since: Struts 1.1

[RT Expr]
method The HTTP method that will be used to submit this request (GET, POST). [POST] [RT Expr]
onreset JavaScript event handler executed if the form is reset. [RT Expr]
onsubmit JavaScript event handler executed if the form is submitted. [RT Expr]

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.

Attribute Name Description
action

Logical name of a global Action that contains the actual content-relative URI of the destination of this transfer. This hyperlink may be dynamically modified by the inclusion of query parameters, as described in the tag description. You must specify exactly one of the action attribute, the forward attribute, the href attribute, or the page attribute.

Additionally, you can specify a module prefix for linking to other modules.

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.

Attribute Name Description
align

Where the image is aligned to. Can be one of the following attributes:

  • left - left justify, wrapping text on right
  • right -right justify, wrapping test on left
  • top - aligns the image with the top of the text on the same row
  • middle - aligns the image's vertical center with the text base line
  • bottom - aligns the image with the bottom of the text's base line
  • texttop - aligns the image's top with that of the text font on the same line

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.

Attribute Name Description
cdata

If set to "true" and XHTML has been enabled, the JavaScript will be wrapped in a CDATA section to prevent XML parsing. The default is "true" to comply with the W3C's recommendation.

Since: Struts 1.1

[RT Expr]
dynamicJavascript

Whether or not to render the dynamic JavaScript. Defaults to true.

formName

The key (form name) to retrieve a specific set of validation rules. If "dynamicJavascript" is set to true and formName is missing or is not recognized by the ValidatorPlugIn, a JspException will be thrown.

[RT Expr]
method

[RT Expr]
page

The current page of a set of validation rules if the page attribute for the field element in the xml file is in use.

[RT Expr]
scriptLanguage The <script> element will not contain a language attribute when this is set to false. The default is true but this property is ignored in XHTML mode.

Since: Struts 1.2

[RT Expr]
src

The src attribute's value when defining the html script element.

[RT Expr]
staticJavascript

Whether or not to render the static JavaScript. Defaults to true.

htmlComment

Whether or not to enclose the javascript with HTML comments. This attribute is ignored in XHTML mode because the script would be deleted by the XML parser. See the cdata attribute for details on hiding scripts from XML parsers. Defaults to true.

[RT Expr]

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.
  • 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 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.

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.

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.

Attribute Name Description
collection Name of the JSP bean (in some scope) which is itself a Collection of other beans, each of which has properties named by the "property" and "labelProperty" attributes that are used to retrieve the value and label for each option, respectively. [RT Expr]
filter Set to false if you do NOT want the option labels filtered for sensitive characters in HTML. By default, such values are filtered. [RT Expr]
labelName Name of the JSP bean (in some scope) containing the collection of labels to be displayed to the user for these options. [RT Expr]
labelProperty Property of the form bean, or the bean specified by the labelName attribute, that will return the collection of labels to be displayed to the user for these options. [RT Expr]
name Name of the JSP bean (in some scope) containing the collection of values to be returned to the server for these options. If not specified, the form bean associated with our form is assumed. [RT Expr]

optionsCollection - 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:options> elements.

This tag operates on a collection of beans, where each bean has a label property and a value property. The actual names of these properties can be configured using the label and value attributes of this tag.

This tag differs from the <html:options> tag in that it makes more consistent use of the name and property attributes, and allows the collection to be more easily obtained from the enclosing form bean.

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.

Attribute Name Description
filter Set to false if you do NOT want the option labels filtered for sensitive characters in HTML. By default, such values are filtered. [RT Expr]
label The property of the bean within the collection which represents the label to be rendered for each option. Defaults to "label". [RT Expr]
name The attribute name of the bean whose properties are consulted when rendering the current value of this input field. If not specified, the bean associated with the form tag we are nested within is utilized. [RT Expr]
property The property of the form bean, or the bean specified by the name attribute, that will return the collection of objects to be rendered for these options. [RT Expr]
style CSS styles to be applied to this HTML element. [RT Expr]
styleClass CSS stylesheet class to be applied to this HTML element (renders a "class" attribute). [RT Expr]
value The property of the bean within the collection which represents the value to be rendered for each option. Defaults to "value". [RT Expr]

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.

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.
