Let's create the JSP to hold our list and a Tile's definition for it. The easiest way to do this is to use the StrutsGen Tool to generate a basic list screen for us. To do this from the command-line, navigate to tools/strutsgen and run __ant -Dform.name=PersonForm__. This will generate a PersonFormList.jsp in tools/strutsgen/build. At this point, this file has a number of empty Struts tags (forwards) that we need to populate. Copy PersonFormList.jsp to web/pages/personList.jsp and open it for editing.

At the top of the file are a couple of <bean:struts> tags that expose forwards as page-scoped variables. Let's populate the value of the "forwards" with "editPerson" and "viewPeople", respectively.

Now we need to add these to the metadata/web/global-forwards.xml, so they get included in our struts-config.xml file.

Now we need to notify the displaytag the name of the collection it should render. To do this, change <display:table name="" ... > to:

The template we used to create this JSP has the column for the id property hard-coded, so XDoclet adds it twice. We need to remove this from personList.jsp - so delete the following from this file:

Now that we have a List Screen, let's change the pages that are displayed after adding and deleting a new Person. In src/web/**/PersonAction.java, change the ''mapping.findForward("mainMenu")'' in the ''save'' and ''delete'' methods to be:
