Blank lines in Error messages

For the blank line that is appearing for your action/field messages/errors, this is how you solve it:

• Update the “.errorMessage” element in mpa.css Change to include the following:

margin-bottom:0px;

• Change your JSP to hold each of the <s:actionErrors/> <s:actionMessages /> <s:fieldErrors/> in separate rows of your table.

<table cellspacing=“0”>
<tr>
<td>
<s:actionErrors />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<s:actionMessages />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<s:fieldErrors />
</td>
</tr>
</table>

• Make sure that your table also has attribute “cellspacing=’0’”.

Struts, Annotations and Mime

To set a dynamic filename in annotated results.

In Action class:

private String date;

//Above the action handling the download:
@Result(name = "success", type= StreamResult.class,
params = {"contentType", "application/vnd.ms-excel",
"contentDisposition", "attachment; filename=report_$(date).xls"},
value = "reportFileStream"
)

//The usual getter/setter:
public String getDate(){
return date;
}

public void setDate(String date){
this.date = date;
}
