Struts HTML Tags

Struts provides HTML tag library for easy creation of user interfaces. In this lesson I will show you what all Struts HTML Tags are available to the JSP for the development of user interfaces.
To use the Struts HTML Tags we have to include the following line in our JSP file:
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-html" prefix="html" %>
above code makes available the tag to the jsp.


Struts HTML Tags
<html:message key="thekey"/>
Looks up the message corresponding to the given key in the message resources and displays it.
<html:password property="prop" size="10"/>
Tag creates the password field. The string is stored in the property named prop in the form bean.
<html:text property="text1" size="5"/>
Tag creates the text field. The string is retrieved from and later stored in the property named text1 in the form bean.
<html:submit>Submit</html:submit>
Tag creates a submit button with the provided content as the button text. 
<html:reset>Reset</html:reset>
Tag creates a reset button with the provided content as the button text. 
<html:errors/>
Tag prints all the available error on the page.
<html:file property="fileSelectionBox"/>
Tag creates the file upload element on the form. The property must be of the type org.apache.struts.upload.FormFile.
<html:checkbox property="myCheckBox"/>
Tag creates check box on the form.
<html:hidden property="hiddenfield"/>
Tag creates the hidden html element on the form.
<html:radio value="abc" property="myCheckBox"/>
Tag creates the check box on the form.
<html:select multiple="true" property="selectBox">
Tag creates list box on the form. The property selectBox must be an array of supported data-types, and the user may select several entries. Use <html:options> to specify the entries.
<html:textarea property="myTextArea" value="Hello Struts" />
Tag creates the text area on the form.
<html:form action="/Address" method="post">
Tag is used to create the HTML Form for posting the data on the server.
<html:base/>
Tag generates the base tag. <BASE ...> tells the browser to pretend that the current page is located at some URL other than where the browser found it. Any relative reference will be calculated from the URL given by <BASE HREF="...">instead of the actual URL. <BASE ...> goes in the <HEAD>section.
<html:html>
Tag renders an HTML <html> Element.

In the Address.jsp we have used some of the above tags. In the future sections I will show you more examples of the Struts HTML tags.

I hope all goes well! Look forward to seeing more Java tutorials from me in the future.

1.General Information about servlet: Servlet Request & Response Model: There are three different players in this picture: browser, web server, and servlet Container. In many cases, a web server and a servlet container are running in a same machine even in a single virtual machine. So they are not really distinguished in many cases. Anyway, the role of the web server is to receive HTTP request and then passes it to the web container or servlet container Which then creates Java objects that represent “HTTP request” and a “session” and then dispatches the request to the servlet by invoking service() method defined in the servlet.         The most common form of client requests are HTTP GET and HTTP POST requests. In the HTTP GET request, the user entered information is appended to the URL as a query string. In the HTTP POST request, on the other hand, the user entered information is sent as data.

Hibernate Avg() Function (Aggregate Functions)

In this section, we will show you, how to use the avg() function. Hibernate supports multiple aggregate functions. When they are used in HQL queries, they return an aggregate value ( such as   avg(...), sum(...), min(...), max(...) , count(*), count(...), count(distinct ...), count(all...)   ) calculated from property values of all objects satisfying other query criteria.  Following is a aggregate function (avg() function) with their respective syntax. avg(   [   distinct   |   all   ] object.property): The   avg()   function aggregates the average value of the given column.  Table Name: insurance ID insurance_name invested_amount investement_date 2 Life Insurance 25000 0000-00-00 00:00:00 1 Givan Dhara 20000  2007-07-30 17:29:05 3 Life Insurance   500 2005-10-15 00:00:00 4 Car Insurance    2500 2005-01

Hibernate Count Query

In this section we will show you, how to use the Count Query. Hibernate supports multiple aggregate functions. when they are used in HQL queries, they return an aggregate value (such as sum, average, and count) calculated from property values of all objects satisfying other query criteria. These functions can be used along with the  distinct  and all  options, to return aggregate values calculated from only  distinct  values and all values (except null values), respectively. Following is a list of aggregate functions with their respective syntax; all of them are self-explanatory. count ( [   distinct   |   all   ] object | object.property ) count(*)  (equivalent to   count(all ...) , counts null values also) sum (   [   distinct   |   all   ] object.property) avg(   [   distinct   |   all   ] object.property) max(   [   distinct   |   all   ] object.property) min(  [  distinct  |  all  ] object.property) Here is the java code for counting the records from insurance tab
