Data formatting for the <display:table>

[yuchuang]

Hi, i would like to ask in struts if we are using <display:table> to display our data, then how do we format our data? meaning how to align the data displayed to be align center instead of the default left?

Code:

<logic:iterate id="someName" name="a">

    <display:table id="row" name="pageScope.someName.resultEntries"  
class="dptag" pagesize="15" requestURI="">
       <display:column title="A Column" >
          <A HREF='<bean:write name="row" property="url"/ >'>
	<bean:write name="row" property="propertyName"/></A>
       </display:column>
       <display:column title="SomeColumn" >
          <bean:write name="row" property="propertyName"/>
       </display:column>
    </display:table>

</logic:iterate>

Then use the CSS to define the classes

I tried using CSS.
.alignment { text-align: center }
and i placed it here..
<display:column title="SomeColumn" style="alignment">
Is this the correct way to do it? I feel there's something wrong cos it don't seems to work.

Try the following

<display:table name="requestScope.employeeList" pagesize="10">
<display:column property ="employeeName" title="Employee Name"/>
<display:column property ="dateOfBirth" title="Date of Birth"/>
<display:column property ="employeeCode" title="Employee Code"/>
<diaplay:column property ="employeeNumber" title="Employee Number" align="right"/>

where employeeList is a type of ArrayList which contains the formbean of EmployeeBean for each record. EmployeeBean is a class which contains property with only getters and setters.

eg.
class EmployeeBean
{
private String employeeName;


public String getEmployeeName()
{
return this.employeeName
}

public void setEmployeeName(String employeeName)
{
this.employeeName = employeeName

}
}

EmployeeBean bean = null;
List employeeList = new ArrayList();
while(rs.next())
{
bean = new EmployeeBean();
bean.setEmployeeName(rs.getString("employee_name") )
employeeList.add(bean);
}

requestScope.setAttribute("employeeList",employeeL ist);


I think it will help u.
