Hi Rob,
you might try ConfigBrowserPlugin,
see why here:

Hi Wes, thanks for the post.

I like the idea of being able to decorate screens differently depending
on device without changing much existing code and I can see a use to
this for example for pages being given a different footer to provide
device specific links or adding side menus for devices with enough
screen space. (The main focus of my web pages are application GUI rather
than content). I do intend to look into sitemesh but I know nothing
about it as yet. However, what sitemesh (I don't think anyway) cannot do
is for example, for an old blackberry that does not support html tables
very well, allow me to render a list of results in a business card style
layout instead of a four column table - if it can then I'd be glad to
know how and investigate it's use further as it would solve some of the
problems I encounter.

Hi,

I am wanting to implement a site such that some actions may have a
different mapping depending upon the device used (e.g. regular browser /
mobile device etc.) but what I don't want to do is have to litter my
actions with this type of logic. It could be at the result mapping level
(i.e. in struts.xml) such that say a result of success would map to a
jsp of somePage.jsp for regular browsers and somePageMobile.jsp for a
mobile device (there will be more complications to this as I'd like to
be able to have fine grained control based on the user agent so there
may be many versions of a jsp such as somePageWinMobile6_5_htc.jsp).

There are couple of ways I can think of to do this, but they're ugly:
- JSP level logic to render the page differently - dont want it, I'd
rather individual jsp's for each supported device (or family) as this
allows developers who are working on targeting a site to a specific
device to concentrate on that device.
- Tiles template level logic - again not ideal as I would like to be
able to use specific templates for device types.

Better but not perfect would be some sort of post action result
modifying interceptor such that in the struts.xml I could define a
number of different result mappings such as success, success_winmob,
success_blackberry_storm and have the result string that has been
returned from the action (success) modified by some sort of interceptor
(e.g. appending the suffix prior to struts mapping it off to a view) -
the filter itself could be configured as to whether or not to alter
result strings based on the action and the user device. - Is it possible
to modify the result string post action but prior to struts resolving
the mapping? And if so would I have access to the the name of the action?

Any suggestions here are greatly appreciated!
Web technologies being used are Struts2, Tiles2 and JSP.

Regards,
Marcus

I can see that working to display, but when the user switches a field from "Y"
to "N" how do I get "false" automagically returned in the relevant list entry?

Hello,
I have done further testing and the problem appears related to the
combination of spring-defined beans and struts wildcards.
The actions that don't have wildcards behave identically if they are
created and wired by the struts-spring factory or by spring itself,
but the actions that have wildcards fail, as if there is some
validation that redirects them allways to INPUT.
Both beans receptorDAO and receptorDAOSectorPrimario conform to the
same interface ReceptorDAO, so the only way to autowire the actions is
to declare them in the applicationContext in spring.

spring.xml:
 <bean id="receptorDAO" class="com.proyectox.DAO.ReceptorDAOImpl">
   <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
    </bean>
...
 <bean id="receptorDAOSectorPrimario"
class="com.fcm.sectorPrimario2009.dao.ReceptorDAOImpl">
   <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
   <property name="entityName" value="SP_Receptor"/>
...
<bean id="receptorSPAction"
class="com.fcm.sectorPrimario2009.ui.ReceptorAction"
scope="prototype">
   <property name="receptorDAO"><ref
local="receptorDAOSectorPrimario"/></property>

struts.xml:
<struts>

 <!--<constant name="struts.serve.static" value="false" /> para que
no sirva el css ni el js -->
 <constant name="struts.devMode" value="true" />
 <constant name="struts.objectFactory"
value="org.apache.struts2.spring.StrutsSpringObjectFactory" />
 <constant name="struts.freemarker.templatesCache" value="true" />

  <package name="proyectox" extends="json-default" ><!-- struts-default -->
<!-- Si no le pones este stack, pues no funciona...-->
 <interceptors>
   <interceptor name="strutsSpring"
class="com.proyectox.ui.interceptor.HibernateOpenSessionInViewInterceptor"/>
   <interceptor-stack name="strutsSpringPPPStack">
     <interceptor-ref name="strutsSpring"/>
     <interceptor-ref name="paramsPrepareParamsStack"/>
   </interceptor-stack>
 </interceptors>
...
  <package name="receptorsectorprimario" extends="proyectox"
namespace="/sectorprimario/receptor">
   <action name="receptor_*" method="{1}" class="receptorSPAction">
     <result>receptorDetail.jsp</result>
     <result name="detail">receptorDetail.jsp</result>
     <result name="input">receptorNuevo.jsp</result>
     <result name="modificar">receptorNuevo.jsp</result>
     <result name="borrar" type="redirectAction">
       <param name="actionName">lista</param>
     </result>
     <result name="error">/error.jsp</result>
     <interceptor-ref name="scope">
        <param name="session">contribuyente</param>
        <param name="autoCreateSession">true</param>
        <param name="key">contribuyenteActual</param>
     </interceptor-ref>
     <interceptor-ref name="scope">
        <param name="session">receptor</param>
        <param name="autoCreateSession">true</param>
        <param name="key">receptorActualSP</param>
     </interceptor-ref>
       <interceptor-ref name="strutsSpringPPPStack"/>
   </action>

Currently I have changed the name of the property in the actions so it
matches the name in the application context, the struts autowire by
name work, but I someone has any pointer of what should I do to test
this condition, I'll gladly do it.
