The breadcrumbs have been served!

[stanlick]

Greetings --

I finished the S2 breadcrumb plug-in and you are welcome to it and the
source code at www.strutsschool.com.  I plan to cover the plug-in process in
a chapter of the Struts 2 in Action <http://www.manning.com/dbrown/>  book
which is soon to be released.  Until then, a few folks have asked if they
could get it sooner.  Once you download the plug-in, be sure to see the
README.txt file contained inside the jar.  This explains how to add and
configure the plug-in to your liking and sample HTML code for displaying the
crumbs on your site.

Please let me know of any issues that you encounter and I will accept
feature requests at $100.00 each or three for $250.00! :)

What is the license?

P.S.: The Tiles link is wrong, point it to:

Good stuff.  Here is some feedback for you, free of charge. :)

There is a slight issue with www.strutsschool.com (demo site for the
breadcrumb plugin?).  I think flipCoin should probably appear in your
excludeMethods as accessing flipCoin through the breadcrumb link throws
an exception.  (the flipCoin breadcrumb is created by clicking on submit
on the samples.action page).

Also, I think you need to make it clear that this provides "breadcrumb
navigation as transcript/history" rather than the "Homeward Path" style
of breadcrumbs that is more prevalent.  (Breadcrumbs is a most ambiguous
term!).

<http://www.motive.co.nz/glossary/breadcrumb.php>
<http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/pattern.php?pattern=breadcrumbs>

My personal preference would be to display breadcrumbs in an unordered
list with appropriate CSS styling. e.g.:

<http://www.alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/>

I was also thinking that a homeward path breadcrumb navigation
implementation would be a good demonstrator for the S2 XSLTResult type.

The motive website article is almost comprehensive, but they miss 2 points about
breadcrumb history menu:

firstly it's not redundant just because of the browser's history functionality -
when you go back in the browser and then choose a new link, you lose your
ability to go forward in the browser history again. A breadcrumb menu keeps your
history even if you retrace your steps.

secondly for that reason, there is no need to try to work out whether a page is
in the history already or not. Just let it appear twice or 3 times or however
many times.

But their point that breadcrumb history menus only having use in certain
situations is very true. I always wish that javadocs had it built in.

I have been thinking a little more about the BreadCrumbInterceptor.  It
may be a blunt instrument but I was thinking it would be a fair
assumption to only include actions invoked via the GET method in the
bookmarks trail.  This could be achieved in the interceptor with code a
bit like:

ActionContext context = invocation.getInvocationContext ();
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)context.get(HTTP_REQUEST);
if ("GET".equals(request.getMethod()){
    // Do the magic stuff
}

I also thought that breadcrumbs of this nature would be really useful in
an application that stores the most recent searches (imagine a S2 app
using Lucene).  In this scenario it would be good to additionally
include the querystring in the breadcrumb URL.

The only problem with these suggestions is that it makes it a far less
simple example (and I don't plan on paying for my feature requests - do
I qualify for the 3 for $250 yet?).

Struts Classic?  We only called it that briefly during one of the svn
reorgs, it didn't stick.  It's just Struts, or Struts 1 if you're
trying to differentiate.  http://struts.apache.org/1.x/

Something is odd about the URL generation; I got to
the above link via the home page.

Too many exclamation points, and the second paragraph
reads "When" without anything else. First reference to
db4o has either a capital "O" or a "0" (zero).

When I "samples" link from left nav while on the
samples page it blows up rather spectacularly and the
URL in the browser nav is
"http://www.strutsschool.com:80//www.strutsschool.com/samples/samples.action".

On the links page the Tomcat link goes directly to
download while the rest goes to a project hom(-ish)
page.

Did the site also cause your CPU to spike?  The SS site was built by a
couple of us who wanted to see how different S2 was from S1.  I pushed it to
the other side of the DMZ and thought I'd tidy it up later.  Later becomes
around the clock work on this Struts 2 book and reading your emails at all
hours of the morning.  Would you like to help spruce it up?

I think every conceivable feature of S2 is somehow or another worked into
the SS site.  The Samples page use a couple versions of tokenWaitStacks
(because there were two) and I think we should have stopped messing with it
after the first twelve pack!

P.S. Did the download work?  I had no idea contributing software could be so
rewarding :)

So is it Struts or Struts 1?  And what if I am using Struts 1.3 :)  And if I
am using Strus 1 with Spring, is this Spruts or String?

Hey Scott,

I'll volunteer to clean it up for you. I can tell that you seem more
of a Tiles fan than Sitemesh, but I think if you give it a spin you'll
probably enjoy it. Email me off-list (you know where) and we can work
out the details.

You are a kind man Wes.  I have enjoyed Tiles because of its support for JIT
data fetches and panel inheritance.  However, with Tiles 2 not "playing
well" with Struts 2/Spring integration, it is looking less glamorous.  I
wrote a DelegatingTilesController that will get a configured Spring Bean
according to a Tiles def attribute name, but I feel like I am doing plumbing
a framework should handle and who would consider looking at the
tiles.xmlput-attribute to debug a link to a Spring bean???  Wow, did I
get off on a
tangent?

        WebApplicationContext ctx = (WebApplicationContext) getApplication()
                .get(
WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE);

        Attribute bean = attributeContext.getAttribute("beanName");
        BaseController ctl = (BaseController) ctx.getBean((String)
bean.getValue());

        ctl.execute(tilesRequestContext, attributeContext);


Anyways, I'm always up for an alternative.

Great ideas Mark!  Does this mean I now owe you ca$h?  I didn't consider the
permutation where you would discuss improvements without actually requesting
them!  You are a thinking man aren't you?  I'll work the RESTful style of
request METHOD into the configuration after studying that plugin first.


Thanks,
Scott

This breadcrumb never got cleaned.

For example, when user goes from home to page1 then to page 2, I would
expect showing

    Home > Page1 > Page2



When Users go back to Page1, showing "Home > Page1"

When Users go to Home, showing "Home"

Is the new Breadcrumbs
plugin(http://cwiki.apache.org/S2PLUGINS/breadcrumbs-plugin.html)
supports the above feature already?

Thanks!

Sorry, I did not know how the breadcrumb plug-in works.

I hope the demo of "http://www.strutsschool.com/" is not the showcase of
how the plug-in works.



The example shown by apache websites is the one I am looking for:

Apache Struts 2 Plugin Registry > Home > Breadcrumbs Plugin

When click home, the "Breadcrumbs Plugin" disappear.

However, in "http://www.strutsschool.com/", the linkage never disappears.

Hey Emi Lu --

The breadcrumb plug-in keeps a trail of crumbs up to the max you specify.
If you want to clear it (or manipulate it in some way) at particular points
in your workflow, you can do that by requesting it from the session and
doing whatever you like.  The documentation reveals how it is stored in
session.
