Hi,
Is it possible to use i18n with a grid. I would like to have different column names according to selected locale.
Regards,
Javanus
you can use ognl for this.
Hey, I just want to drop a “Thank You”. Did you ever think about using Flattr? I would press the flattr button on every update 😉
Nice to hear, until now I did not know Flattr. 🙂

I am absolutely struggling with this.
I am pretty new to Struts.
I have a table in a database which i want to turn into a graph.
To make things easier I have been able to turn the table data into a json object in a method within the action.java file.
I am absolutely struggling to turn this data into a bar chart using the example give. This is my last resort. can you help?
Just a simple step by step example, what is required in the Action.java and the jsp with just one chart. I have all the plugin in the maven repo. I am just really struggling to get this working.
Can you help?
