Problem about Struts Tags

[sidney]

In Struts bean tab library, for the define tag, what is use of name
attribute and property attribute?

For example,
<bean:define id="layoutId" name="layout" property="layoutId"/>

Thanks a lot.

Btw, is there any web resource for struts reference? I find the one
provided by apache is difficult to read.

There is a mailing list dedicated to Struts..

"name" refers to the "name" used to store your bean in scope (e.g.
pagecontext.setAttribute(name,value)), since you are not using the
scope attribute this could be any of page, request, session and
application scope(s) searched in that order. "property" is used to find
the correct accessor for your bean so in your example you are stating
that you have put a bean with getLayoutId() accessor in scope using the
name layout.

Thanks a lot.

Can't think of a good web resource to be honest - since to be honest
I'm happy with the apache documentation - but you ought to join the
struts mailing list (email: (e-mail address removed)) and
google.
