__What is Struts Resume?__\\

Struts Resume is being developed for two purposes: (1) so I can edit and publish my resume online and (2) to demonstrate developing a real-world app with [AppFuse]. Feel free to checkout the [online demo|http://demo.raibledesigns.com/struts-resume]

Hi Matt,

!!__2004.04.05__ - Struts Resume 0.9 Released!

At line 7 changed 1 line.

Kudos on your excellent work on appfuse and struts-resume. Since, I've been using appfuse and struts-resume to gather a basic understanding of struts and "helper" technologies, its time to give back a little.

This release is a major improvement over the last one. Not only did I upgrade all the code to use AppFuse 1.4 ([release notes|http://tinyurl.com/27z2k]), but I also removed Struts from the services layer. Moreover, you can actually enter almost all of the pieces of a resume and render it in HTML and Word format. The resume-entry piece (and sections you can enter) is largely based on what Monster.com uses. I may add other sections in the future (i.e. awards and publications).

At line 9 changed 1 line.

I ran into the same problem as yourself, as per [your email|http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg60169.html]. So, I followed the email thread and wasn't quite happy with the JavaScript solution. So, I conjured a non-JavaScript solution which is posted below. Be aware that my struts understanding is fairly rudimentary and this might be a classic example of too much blending of V into the C from the MVC model.

The main reason this is not a 1.0 release is because an administrator is the only one who can edit the HTML template - and the Word/RTF template is not editable online. Allowing a user to override the default template(s) will be the primary goal in 1.0.

This is part of action.BaseForm

{{{

public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,

HttpServletRequest request) {

// Identify the request parameter containing the method name

String parameter = mapping.getParameter();

Here's a specific rundown of all the changes from the changelog:

At line 20 changed 21 lines.

if( parameter != null ) {

// Identify the method name to be dispatched to.

String name = request.getParameter(parameter);

MessageResources resources =

(MessageResources) request.getAttribute(Globals.MESSAGES_KEY);

// Identify the localized message for the cancel button

String message = resources.getMessage("button.cancel");

// if message resource matches the cancel button then no

// need to validate

if( name != null && name.equals(message) ) {

if( log.isDebugEnabled() ) {

log.debug(mapping.getAttribute() + " '" + name +

"' method, so no need to validate");

return null;

}

// perform regular validation

return super.validate(mapping, request);

}

!!__2003.10.10__ - Problem compiling in 0.8

I'm trying to compile struts-resume, which I just downloaded to have a sample app dealing with Velocity, but i'm obviously missing org.appfuse.webapp.form.UserForm and UserRoleForm. I manage to find UserForm in security-example1.1.zip but not UserRoleForm.

Is it a mistake or not in your app dist?\\

Jean

*''You have to use Ant to compile struts-resume. The *Form classes are generated by [XDoclet|http://www.xdoclet.com]. [MattRaible]''

!!__2003.09.15__ - Small bug discovered in 0.8

The global.js javascript file is missing the following method. I've updated the files in 0.8 to fix this bug. Without this method, when a user changes their password, it's not encrypted, and they can't login again.

{{{

function createFormElement(element, type, name, id, value, parent) {

var e = document.createElement(element);

e.setAttribute("name", name);

e.setAttribute("type", type);

e.setAttribute("id", id);

e.setAttribute("value", value);

parent.appendChild(e);

}
