Struts Logon demo

This Logon application demonstrates two basic ways to Ajaxify your Struts Application. The Welcome page is altered in order to demonstrate how to mix Backbase AJAX controls and commands with Struts tags in order to achieve a richer User Interface. The Logon page ("Sign in" link above) introduces the concept of progressive enhancement and demonstrates that you can achieve the same with practically zero changes to your old Struts/JSP page.

It is now possible to use any of the high-quality Fusion Charts within a Backbase application, and doing so has never been easier.

First, add the Labs namespace to your page. This widget was developed in the Backbase Labs, and these widgets have the prefix l: by default (that's a lower case L).

Now include the widget definition. This widget should be installed under /Labs/fusionChart but you can change that within the widget definition if you desire.

You're ready to add a chart anywhere in your page:
