21. Simple Example

22. Struts 1 < html:errors /> < html:form action = &quot;/SaveMeeting&quot; > < table border = &quot;0&quot; width = &quot;100%&quot; > < tr > < th align = &quot;right&quot; > Name: </ th > < td align = &quot;left&quot; > < html:text property = &quot;name&quot; size = ”50” /> </ td > </ tr > < tr > < th align = &quot;right&quot; > Date:

23. </ th > < td align = &quot;left&quot; > < html:text property = &quot;date&quot; size = &quot;50&quot; /> </ td > </ tr > < tr > < th align = &quot;right&quot; > Invitees: </ th > < td align = &quot;left&quot; > < html:select property = &quot;invitees&quot; multiple = &quot;true&quot; > < html:options collection = &quot;employees&quot; property = &quot;value&quot; labelProperty = &quot;label&quot; /> </ html:select >

24. </ tr > < tr > < th align = &quot;right&quot; > Description: </ th > < td align = &quot;left&quot; > < html:textarea property = &quot;description&quot; rows = &quot;4&quot; cols = &quot;50&quot; /> </ td > </ tr > < tr > < td align = &quot;right&quot; > &nbsp; </ td >

25. ... Only four pages! < td align = &quot;left&quot; > < html:submit property = &quot;DO_SUBMIT&quot; > Save </ html:submit > </ td > </ tr > </ table > </ html:form >

26. Struts 2 < s:form action = &quot;Meeting&quot; validate = &quot;true&quot; > < s:token /> < s:textfield label = ”Name” name = “name” /> < s:textfield label = ”Date&quot; name = &quot;date&quot; /> < s:select label = ”Invitees” name = &quot;invitees&quot; list = &quot;employees&quot; /> < s:textarea label = ”Description” n ame = &quot;description&quot; rows = &quot;4&quot; cols = &quot;50&quot; /> < s:submit value = ”Save&quot; method = &quot;save&quot; /> </ s:form >

27. Example Revisited

28. <s:textfield label=&quot;Name&quot; name=&quot;name&quot; tooltip = &quot;Meeting name&quot; />

29. < s:datepicker label=&quot;Date&quot; name=&quot;date&quot;/>

30. < s:optiontransferselect ... />

31. < jsp:include page = &quot;/ajax/commonInclude.jsp&quot; /> ... <s:textarea theme = &quot;ajax&quot; label=&quot;Description&quot; name=&quot;description&quot; rows=&quot;4&quot; cols=&quot;50&quot; />

32. But there's more . . .

33. Brian Kernighan Law of Debugging Difficulty Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

34. Prevention and Cure

35. struts.devMode = true

38. Built-in Testing Support public class MyActionTest extends StrutsTestCase { public void testExecute() throws Exception { assertTrue(true); } }

39. any.action?debug=console

40. any.action?profiling=yes
