frame - Render an HTML frame element

Renders an HTML <frame> element with processing for the src attribute that is identical to that performed by the <html:link> tag for the href attribute. URL rewriting will be applied automatically, to maintain session state in the absence of cookies.

The base URL for this frame is calculated based on which of the following attributes you specify (you must specify exactly one of them):

Normally, the hyperlink you specify with one of the attributes described in the previous paragraph will be left unchanged (other than URL rewriting if necessary). However, there are two ways you can append one or more dynamically defined query parameters to the hyperlink -- specify a single parameter with the paramId attribute (and its associated attributes to select the value), or specify the name (and optional property) attributes to select a java.util.Map bean that contains one or more parameter ids and corresponding values.

To specify a single parameter, use the paramId attribute to define the name of the request parameter to be submitted. To specify the corresponding value, use one of the following approaches:

If you prefer to specify a java.util.Map that contains all of the request parameters to be added to the hyperlink, use one of the following techniques:

As the Map is processed, the keys are assumed to be the names of query parameters to be appended to the hyperlink. The value associated with each key must be either a String or a String array representing the parameter value(s), or an object whose toString() method will be called. If a String array is specified, more than one value for the same query parameter name will be created.

Additionally, you can request that the current transaction control token, if any, be included in the generated hyperlink by setting the transaction attribute to true. You can also request that an anchor ("#xxx") be added to the end of the URL that is created by any of the above mechanisms, by using the anchor attribute.

Attribute Name Description
action

Logical name of a global Action that contains the actual content-relative URI of the destination of this transfer. This hyperlink may be dynamically modified by the inclusion of query parameters, as described in the tag description. You must specify exactly one of the action attribute, the forward attribute, the href attribute, or the page attribute.

Additionally, you can specify a module prefix for linking to other modules.

[RT Expr]
module

Prefix name of a Module that contains the action mapping for the Action that is specified by the action attribute. You must specify an action attribute for this to have an effect.

Note: Use "" to map to the default module.

[RT Expr]
anchor

Optional anchor tag ("#xxx") to be added to the generated hyperlink. Specify this value without any "#" character.

[RT Expr]
forward

Logical name of a global ActionForward that contains the actual content-relative URI of the destination of this transfer. This hyperlink may be dynamically modified by the inclusion of query parameters, as described in the tag description. You must specify exactly one of the action attribute, the forward attribute, the href attribute, or the page attribute.

[RT Expr]
frameborder

Should a frame border be generated around this frame (1) or not (0)?

[RT Expr]
frameName

Value for the name attribute of the rendered <frame> element.

[RT Expr]
href

The URL to which this hyperlink will transfer control if activated. This hyperlink may be dynamically modified by the inclusion of query parameters, as described in the tag description. You must specify exactly one of the action attribute, the forward attribute, the href attribute, or the page attribute.

[RT Expr]
longdesc

URI of a long description of the frame. This description should supplement the short description provided by the title attribute, and may be particularly useful for non-visual user agents.

[RT Expr]
marginheight

The amount of space (in pixels) to be left between the frame's contents and its top and bottom margins.

[RT Expr]
marginwidth

The amount of space (in pixels) to be left between the frame's contents and its left and right margins.

[RT Expr]
name

The name of a JSP bean that contains a Map representing the query parameters (if property is not specified), or a JSP bean whose property getter is called to return a Map (if property is specified).

[RT Expr]
noresize

Should users be disallowed from resizing the frame? (true, false).

[RT Expr]
page

The module-relative path (beginning with a "/" character) to which this hyperlink will transfer control if activated. This hyperlink may be dynamically modified by the inclusion of query parameters, as described in the tag description. You must specify exactly one of the action attribute, the forward attribute, the href attribute, or the page attribute.

[RT Expr]
paramId

The name of the request parameter that will be dynamically added to the generated hyperlink. The corresponding value is defined by the paramName and (optional) paramProperty attributes, optionally scoped by the paramScope attribute

[RT Expr]
paramName

The name of a JSP bean that is a String containing the value for the request parameter named by paramId (if paramProperty is not specified), or a JSP bean whose property getter is called to return a String (if paramProperty is specified). The JSP bean is constrained to the bean scope specified by the paramScope property, if it is specified.

[RT Expr]
paramProperty

The name of a property of the bean specified by the paramName attribute, whose return value must be a String containing the value of the request parameter (named by the paramId attribute) that will be dynamically added to this hyperlink.

[RT Expr]
paramScope

The scope within which to search for the bean specified by the paramName attribute. If not specified, all scopes are searched.

[RT Expr]
property

The name of a property of the bean specified by the name attribute, whose return value must be a java.util.Map containing the query parameters to be added to the hyperlink. You must specify the name attribute if you specify this attribute.

[RT Expr]
scope

The scope within which to search for the bean specified by the name attribute. If not specified, all scopes are searched.

[RT Expr]
scrolling

Should scroll bars be created unconditionally (yes), never (no), or only when needed (auto)?

[RT Expr]
style

CSS styles to be applied to this element.

[RT Expr]
styleClass CSS stylesheet class to be applied to this HTML element (renders a "class" attribute). [RT Expr]
styleId Identifier to be assigned to this HTML element (renders an "id" attribute). [RT Expr]
title

The advisory title for this element.

[RT Expr]
titleKey

The message resources key for the advisory title for this element.

[RT Expr]
transaction

If set to true, any current transaction control token will be included in the generated hyperlink, so that it will pass an isTokenValid() test in the receiving Action.
