Very nice!
I would wish however only one big Struts Plug-in that does everything.
This would be also better for new users.

Possible places where you could host it:
:pserver:cvs@cvs.intellij.net:/intellij-plugins
:pserver:your_user@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs module:intellij-idea-plugins

Very nice plugin, congratulations.

I have the following problem with it (I'm not sure if this feature is implemented): it does not appear to handle tiles definitions.

I have a struts application using tiles, and many actions forward to a tile definitions.
Is there any way that the plugin can follow that? It would be gread to hit Ctrl-B in the tile name in the action forward to open the tiles definitions.

Tiles support is going on, and this feature will be finished soon.

Doesn't work for me. I have multiple struts-configs and tiles-configs. If I
Ctrl+click the path of a forward that contains a tiles def, i get a pop-up
error saying "Can not find file for xxxxx"

To debug please check:

a) post your TilesPlugin declaration in struts-config.xml
b) check DOCTYPE of all config files to match the ones prescribed by Struts

Do the other navigations work for your (to JSP, to Action, ..) ?

Doctypes all set to:

<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.2//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_2.dtd">

tiles plugin config:
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin">
<set-property property="definitions-config"
value="/WEB-INF/struts-config/tiles-base.xml, /WEB-INF/struts-config/tiles-tam.xml, /WEB-INF/struts-config/tiles-ccs.xml"/>
<set-property property="moduleAware" value="false"/>
</plug-in>
NOTE: the tiles plugin is configured in struts-base.xml and i have corresponding struts configs for each tiles def (i.e. - struts-tam.xml, struts-ccs.xml)
Navigation to jsps doesn't work, navigation to Actions with regular struts paths (e.g. - /xxx/xxx.do) work, navigation from jsp form actions do not work.

ok, first thing to try:

the DOCTYPE of your struts-config is not correct, the URL should be

http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-config_1_2.dtd

You can find the correct DOCTYPE declarations in the Struts distribution in /lib/ folder, open the corresponding DTD and read the heading comment.

If this doesn't help check a few other things:

a) /WEB-INF-folder mapped in Web Module Setup to /WEB-INF/ ?
b) JSP-folder(s) mapped correctly to relative deployment path in Web Module Setup?
c) web.xml registered as deployment descriptor in Web Module Setup?
d) please post your ActionServlet declaration from web.xml
e) please post DOCTYPE of your tiles-defs.xml

feel free to mail me directly if points above don't solve your issues

HTH,
Yann

Fixed all the DOCTYPES and still no navigation. I did notice that if I add a ".do" to the end of my form actions, i can navigate to the Action from it.

a&b. My web module has one resource directory which is the root of an exploded war. (i.e. - C:\esbe48\com.ncs.es.webapp\war -> /)
c. yes
d.

        action
        org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet
        
            config
            /WEB-INF/struts-config/struts-base.xml,/WEB-INF/struts-config/struts-tam.xml,/WEB-INF/struts-config/struts-ccs.xml
        
        
            debug
            2
        
        
            detail
            2
        
        2
    


        action
        *.do

Also should point out that the jsps we use with Struts are under /WEB-INF/pages but we have a bunch of other jsps under the web root.

I should also note that I have both Struts Plugin and Struts Navigator Plugin installed. Does that cause problems?

Yes, indeed it does cause problems, since both plugins are hooking into the same action (GotoDeclaration). Whichever plugin starts first will win..

I'll include a test on startup of my plugin to detect this situation in further versions.

Please try removing SN and see if it's working for you then.

After removing SN, most navigation seems to work except from JSP form actions.

+After removing SN, most navigation seems to work except from JSP form actions. +

Please clarify this ;) do you mean "from JSP html:form - tag to action-mapping in struts-config.xml" or "from JSP html:form - tag to Action-Class" (the latter is not included yet in Struts Plugin) ??

I mean from JSP html:form tag to either. It doesn't do anything.

does it highlight invalid action-mappings in your JSP?

do you use the standard Struts HTML - Tags ?

do you use the supplied TLDs ?

can IDEA popup something on Alt+Q on the attributes of Struts HTML-tags?

does it highlight invalid action-mappings in your JSP? No

do you use the standard Struts HTML - Tags ? Struts-EL

do you use the supplied TLDs ? The ones in the jars. We don't map them in
web.xml if that's what you mean.

can IDEA popup something on Alt+Q on the attributes of Struts HTML-tags? Yes

okay, the reason is simple: Struts-HTML-EL - taglib is not supported, only the standard HTML-taglib. I will add support for it shortly (shouldn't be much of work).

Sweet! Sorry for all the confusion.
