Re: AW: Formatting Dates, Integers...
IMHO, localisation is part of the business tier too. With static messages that apply to all users, Struts provides a common resource and a common way to access that resource. But the message resource files are really part of the business tier; Struts is just provide a means to access them. (This is more evident in the nightly build, where we remembered to take the HTML out the messages resources.) But the Struts message resources is not always the only i18n player in the game. People often have substantial i18n resources of their own, which are better exposed through custom beans or routing to different page trees, via the controller, than through a series of bean:message calls on the page. If i18n is part of the formatting here, you can of course tie into the same controller system by keying on the same locale object. The key question is what happens when we needs to present the same dynamic information on something besides a web page? (Say a PDF or true Excel spreadsheet using POI.) The bean:message tags use standard bundles that any JavaBean could reference. Any other i18n or formatting system should also likewise be available to beans using another presentation system. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Java Web Development with Struts. -- Tel +1 585 737-3463. -- Web http://www.husted.com/struts/ Hudayioglu, Fehmi wrote: thanks ted, we had done exactly what you've said.

Re: J2EE BluePrints and Struts
This type of message can also be posted to the USER list, since it does not involve the present or future development of Struts. But anyway, the Blueprints are just that -- plans. Struts implements many of the patterns and strategies described in the BluePrints and in Core J2EE Patterns http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0130648841/hitchhikeguidetoA/ But was doing so before each of these were released, based on prior patterns literature. In fact, Struts code was used as the example implementation for Synchronizer Token strategy. Working from the Core J2EE Patterns terminology, Struts employs a number of cataloged patterns, including Service to Worker (ActionServlet, Action classes, ContextHelper), Front Controller, Singleton (ActionServlet), Dispatcher, View Helper, Session Facade, Singleton (Action classes), Value Objects (ActionForm, ActionErrors), View Helper (ActionForm, ContextHelper, tag extensions), Composite View (Template and Tiles taglibs), Synchronizer Token (Action class methods). -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Java Web Development with Struts. -- Tel +1 585 737-3463. -- Web http://www.husted.com/struts/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I am new to this framework and to this list.

Re: Formatting Dates, Integers...
Hiya I would also consider writing some custom tags to format numbers and dates. Subclass the Struts' own bean WriteTag bean:write. It is pretty easy to check for a java.lang.Number or java.lang.String, which you can attempt to parse into a double. The only problem is a creating large numbers of java.text.NumberFormat or java.text.DecimalFormat objects. They are expensive to create and garbage collect. I would suggest you put a NUMBER_FORMAT_KEY in the session scope or write the tags to reuse a global Format object. Unfortunate I cant give you my tags, but here is a handy project for someone to write for Struts 1.1!!! -- Peter Pilgrim ++44 (0)207-545-9923 Swamped under electionic mails Message History From: Ted Husted [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 03/02/2002 21:58 EST Please respond to Struts Users Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Struts Users Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Re: Formatting Dates, Integers...

Re: AW: Formatting Dates, Integers...
Hi, one thing I'm doing today is: a) Add formatting strings to the resource bundles b) Adding util classes which can apply the formatting, either in form object getter/setter or wherever. Step b could be done in one of your own tag libs, but I can't be bothered to do that. This means I can specify the format per locale, rather than use the defaults. The tricky bit is getting at the resource bundle from your own code. You can do this by using the servlet context and session objects with names attributes - ie the same ones used by struts. Take a glance at the MessageTag class for how to. Validation means you should do this in the form validate func as well.

Re: AW: Formatting Dates, Integers...
That sounds neat, Jonathan. I hope you will share your code when you are ready -:o) Right now, a lot of us are in FUD lock because of JSTL and JSF. Something to consider in proposing new tags is how they would fit in with the JSTL. The concern is that we don't want to lead people in a direction that would make it harder to migrate later. Though, at the same time, we all have applications that we need to ship today. Solutions like this, where the JavaBean does most of the work, sounds like a good path to me, since it could be easily used with a JSTL expression language later. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Java Web Development with Struts. -- Tel +1 585 737-3463. -- Web http://www.husted.com/struts/ Jonathan Gibbons wrote: Hi, one thing I'm doing today is: a) Add formatting strings to the resource bundles b) Adding util classes which can apply the formatting, either in form object getter/setter or wherever.

Hi, I have had the same error : Digester.getParser: javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException: Namespace not supported by SAXParser (...) The digester (org.apache.commons.digester) namespace setup seems not supported by all versions of xml parsers. I had the same problem with both digester package version 1.0 and 1.1.1 A solution : Since tomcat 3.3a (Final ) and above this problem do not arise, due to the included xml parser version I guess. I tried to upgrade the tomcat 3.2.2 parser, the digester errors seemed resolved but it broke tomcat somewhere else ...

Design advice.
This is a pretty lengthy post so if you're not that interested be warned not to continue. I'm trying to develop a struts application that has the ability to have new beans plugged into it after it's been deployed. The idea is someone will come along later and write a new set of component class files (that also use struts) and can simply modify the struts-config.xml and plug them in. I've developed two sets of actions, the first is a set of generic actions that will rely on methods that will exist by convention in any component that is developed for the application. The second set of actions are specific to whatever component is being plugged in and are specified per action. Below I have illustrated an example struts-config.xml that has two familiar components plugged into it. A 'Folder' and 'Document' which is a fairly familiar idea to most. Each component may implement 4 core operations view, creation, modification and removal. I was just wondering if anyone could offer some comments that might be helpful in developing the model I am trying to build. Or by all means any other design advice is good as well.

DynaActionForm questions
It seems that letting DynaActionForm generate the form bean via info in struts-config may be the way to go if no extra code is needed in the form bean. I do have two questions, however. Does ValidatorForm work with DynaActionForm? Is DynaActionForm as efficient (system performance) as manually created form beans?

One of the benefits is that you can specify your various pools in an XML file. This makes any changes that might need to be made at a later date simple, and also ensures consistancy across the organization. Specifying all your connection pools in one place, even if there are different databases, is a nice benefit. It also makes it easier on the developers. Poolman does not do just connection pooling though, it will pool any object. We've been using it for a few versions now and have been pretty happy with it so far. It's painless to setup and get running, so you might want to take a look at it and see if it's right for you.

Re: Design advice.
An approach I've used successfully, which is looks like where you are going, is to (1) create a set of standard Actions that can act up a known type of object, or an object that implements a particular interface, and (2) pass the type of the bean to create to the standard Action as the parameter property. action path=/item/Edit type=org.apache.gavel.http.SecureHelper -- standard section name=itemForm scope=request validate=false parameter=org.apache.gavel.item.Select -- business bean forward name=continue path=/pages/item/Form.jsp/ /action The standard Action can then instantiate the bean and use the interface methods to act upon it. This is akin to the approach Struts uses for ActionForms, et cetera. The ModelBeans in the Scaffold/Artimus packages in the Contrib folder demonstrate using this in practice. I now find myself writing signficant applications that use virtually no custom Actions at all, and instead end up putting all the business logic in business beans (where they belong). This is exactly the same idea that Craig proposed in his Workflow proposal (thanks Craig!).

collecting parameters from a dynamic form
I have a dynamic form that is built from an ArrayList of objects (see below (b) ). Building the form works great. I get multiple rows of widget names and values. However, I can't seem to collect the data in my Action. The HTML that is rendered just repeats the same named input fields (see below (b)). In my action, my widget ArrayList comes in with the right number of objects, but they are blank (no data has been collected from the form). A request.getParameter(name)); request.getParameter(value)); works, but of course only returns one of the sets of data - the first in the form.

[Fwd: RE: [Fwd: Re: Hi....]]
The thing on tags is do not use to many tags. Try to avoid writing tags. Somehow, the example app on struts has a custom tag and people like to learn how to write tags, and so there are lots of tags in Struts. This is a bad habit. Only do it if you must. Try to do as little code as possible in presentation/view/jsp. So to me, tags and Struts framework are 2 different things, but bellow is a good book anyway.

cannot find tag library
Hi all, I am using Tomcat 4.01; Windows 2000 ; Struts v1.0 I created a tag which displays a message on the screen. I followed the basic layout of the example that came with struts. by layout I mean: 1. I created a tag under the /classes directory. this time I put it right under the /classes directory so I didn't need to deal with package names. 2. I added the tag in the app.tld (which is right under /web-inf) 3. On my jsp page, I reference the TLD file and gave it a prefix app (just like the example). %@ taglib uri=/WEB-INF/app.tld prefix=app % when I do app:hello / in my JSP page (Bid.jsp) I get: Generated servlet error: C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\work\localhost\blank\bid$jsp.java:143: Class org.apache.jsp.HelloTag not found. HelloTag _jspx_th_app_hello_0 = new HelloTag(); ^ I am not sure why it's looking for my HelloTag under org.apache.jsp when I put it on the /classes directory.

Re: Preselecting Radio Buttons
For those interested, Ivan Siviero was kind enough to answer my question. Apparently, you preselect a radio button based on the incoming value from the form. So for set of radio buttons... html:radio property=propertyname value=1 html:radio property=propertyname value=2 you'd preselect the first radio button by having your getPropertyName() method in your ActionForm return a 1 by default. So you'd want to set the value that is returned by getPropertyName() to 1 at the constructor level and the reset level (I was only doing it in the reset method). - Original Message - From: John M.

Matt, nicely said. Pretty much what I feel, but could not describe. I guess it comes down to: ITS TOO EARLY. i.e use it for prototypes and dept projects. Don't start designing customer web sites with it until you have sorted out tools, maintenance, evolving xslt/xml specs and so on. Jonathan (who also hates JSP, they are too easy...and thus messy.)

There needs to be mechanisms for getting internationalization into your XML or XSL. It seems difficult to use messages from a properties files for messages and form labels. By difficult, I mean harder than it is to use bean:message in JSPs. I could see putting them into the XML document, but then it seems that HTML developer type stuff is getting handed off to the Java developer. 2. XSL Templates and examples are difficult to find. I think this technology and concept would rapidly catch-on if there were XSL stylesheets that you could download that would format all your form-elements and other details. If the struts-example where adapted to use this approach, people would jump all over it I'll bet. 3. XSL is difficult to debug, and if we're truly separating view from everything else - good luck finding a view developer that knows XSL. I know some of these are irrelevant since we HTML developers are often Java coders and XSL experts... but just my 2 cents.

RE: Boost Struts with XSLT and XML - JavaWorld.com
Matt, Those are very good points. Here is how I deal with each one: 1. You can internationalize using resource bundles with Xalan, because it allows Java extensions. Another thing on i18n, I've noted that when UI's are described in XML, you are combining question text, labels, instructions all in one document. In that case it's more direct to just translate the XML docs, and not use resource bundles. It's rare that you just need to translate a word here or there for web apps. They are full of text, and resource bundles are suited well to managing documents of translated text. The framework just needs to choose the correct XML doc based on the language. 2. XForms is introducing a generic form descriptor language, once that's available we can choose a generic style sheet and modify...I have defined my own XML strucure, and that article gave an example as well. It's not that big of a deal. Once the first style sheet is done, it's easy to modify to account for little changes here and there. 3. Using a tool like excelon makes XSL easy to debug. It is not difficult to debug. You're not really 100% correct on that one. J2EE is difficult to debug, but we still use it. I just saw the post from J. Gibbons, and it is NOT TOO EARLY. Nope. That's wrong. It's time has come, at least for us to consider as developers.

RE: Boost Struts with XSLT and XML - JavaWorld.com
A couple of naive questions. 1. Given that the authors of the article mention that the Cocoon framework uses XML and XSLT to generate HTML (among other formats), I assume their motivation for using Struts is to gain the MVC framework. Is this correct? Does Velocity also have the same deficiency compared with Struts? 2. Is there any possibility that something like this may become a formal extension to Struts?

Re: Boost Struts with XSLT and XML - JavaWorld.com
The ActionForms are just JavaBeans in the standard request or session scope, and available to any servlet process in the Application. Most of the other Struts elements are just application scope objects, which are also avaialble to any servlet process in the application, or request attributes (errors) or session attributes (locale). The Struts taglibs just happen to know what attribute name to look under for these objects, and which scope to find them in. It's important to remember that Struts does not render the JSPs. This is done by the container, usually through a service like Tomcat's Jasper. Anything with access to the servlet context can do the same things that the taglibs do, just as the Velocity/Struts kit does. http://husted.com/struts/resources/velstruts.zip Here, the functionality of the Sturts taglibs is provided as standard objects that other presentation layer devices can easily access. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Java Web Development with Struts. -- Tel +1 585 737-3463. -- Web http://www.husted.com/struts/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Questions from an Idiot who Longs to Understand Struts
OK -
So, not long ago, having read about MVC and having been introduced to
Struts by discovering it on the Jakarta site, I embarked upon my journey to
learn it. Absolutely frustrated with the documentation (it appers to be
written for people who happen to know a thing or two), and ffrustrated by
the lack of support references in bookstores or the online community - I
broke doen and started implementing my own MVC. Why? Because I at least
found a step by step reference for how to do it.
Anyways
Having done the MVC myself, I finally got to the place where I thought
(OK, now I think I will probably be able to comprehend Struts).
So I begin to convert my app.
Here's where I stand:
I've got all the tld's set and tested and struts is up and rearing to go
(as far as I can tell).
I've got Poolman set and tested; ready for use in the system (as I heard
this was more robust than the b uilt-in Struts pool manager).
Log4J is in.
And now I am just stuck on the most basic, simplist things!
I'm trying to iterate through a list and I am just stuck - somebody please
help. Here's what I have got:
First, a custom tag called userList:
***
// UserListTag.java
package com.magneta.tags;
import org.apache.log4j.*;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TagSupport;
public class UserListTag extends TagSupport implements java.io.Serializable
{
// a category instance for log4j logging
private Category cat = Category.getInstance(UserListTag.class.getName
());
private List userList;
public int doStartTag() {
cat.debug(in doStartTag());
userList = new ArrayList();
userList.add(cburleson001);
userList.add(bshoemate001);
userList.add(jacarey001);
userList.add(agilbert001);
userList.add(rafael001);
userList.add(margetic001);
cat.debug(storing userList bean in page scope);
pageContext.setAttribute(userList,userList);
return SKIP_BODY;
}
public List getUserList () {
return userList;
}
}
***
Now, here's what I am trying to do on my JSP page - just simply iteratte
through the list with the following...
* from admin_userAdmin.jsp
!-- initialize the user list (in bean in page scope) --
app:userList/
logic:iterate id=userList name=userList
bean:write name=userList property=userList/
/logic:iterate
***
BUT when I hit the page, I get the following exception
javax.servlet.ServletException: No getter method for property userList of
bean userList
Can someone shed some light? Help me people - I am on square one.

Extending Struts (was: Boost Struts with XSLT and XML - JavaWorld.com)
I have been lurking for a couple of months now and have seen many useful extensions to the Struts framework. I am curious to understand what thought has gone into better understand how Struts can be extended in common ways such that: (1) Extensions are an add-on/plug-in rather than a rewrite of the Struts classes. And (2) non-overlapping extensions are compatible. For example, wouldn't expect Velocity and XSLT extensions to work together but might expect different classes of extensions to work together. Can the types of extensions be classified? For example, the XSLT extension talked about in the JavaWorld article could be a View extension. Should the framework be separated out into core and extension pieces? For example, maybe the custom taglibs should be considered part of the JSP Extension. And the JSP Extension considered a View extension that follows certain rules that other View extensions (such as Velocity and XSLT) must follow.

RE: Boost Struts with XSLT and XML - JavaWorld.com
Hmmm, I read everyone's posts, and they are somewhat inspiring. I'd like to see examples of using Xalan to get my struts message bundle, or other messag bundles. I'm sure I could spend an hour and figure this out, but if anyone has ready examples, links, send them my way! XForms - I'm excited about these, but I think it'll be awhile before the browser's support them. #3 is probably from my own experience. I spent a week trying to develop a XML/XSL framework using JSPs to emit XML, XSL and the JSTL to do the transformation. My JSPs became very small and nice, but it seemed I was spending a lot of time writing the XSL and trying to get it to work properly. I've had a lot of experience with writing HTML and JSPs, and so I bagged the whole idea and recommended we just use JSP/HTML with Tiles and CSS. I know that my client will get more value from my time with this approach. The reason my client wanted to use XML/XSL was to easily adapt the UI for other devices. I think this is a great reason, but it almost seems simpler to me to separate my HTML client from my WAP client and develop entirely new JSPs for the WAP client. Of course, working with a limited budget and a small development team (1) - there's not much time for learning curve. Matt --- Taylor Cowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Matt, Those are very good points. Here is how I deal with each one: 1. You can internationalize using resource bundles with Xalan, because it allows Java extensions. Another thing on i18n, I've noted that when UI's are described in XML, you are combining question text, labels, instructions all in one document. In that case it's more direct to just translate the XML docs, and not use resource bundles. It's rare that you just need to translate a word here or there for web apps. They are full of text, and resource bundles are suited well to managing documents of translated text. The framework just needs to choose the correct XML doc based on the language. 2. XForms is introducing a generic form descriptor language, once that's available we can choose a generic style sheet and modify...I have defined my own XML strucure, and that article gave an example as well. It's not that big of a deal. Once the first style sheet is done, it's easy to modify to account for little changes here and there. 3. Using a tool like excelon makes XSL easy to debug. It is not difficult to debug. You're not really 100% correct on that one. J2EE is difficult to debug, but we still use it. I just saw the post from J. Gibbons, and it is NOT TOO EARLY. Nope. That's wrong. It's time has come, at least for us to consider as developers.

There needs to be mechanisms for getting internationalization into your XML or XSL. It seems difficult to use messages from a properties files for messages and form labels. By difficult, I mean harder than it is to use bean:message in JSPs. I could see putting them into the XML document, but then it seems that HTML developer type stuff is getting handed off to the Java developer. 2. XSL Templates and examples are difficult to find. I think this technology and concept would rapidly catch-on if there were XSL stylesheets that you could download that would format all your form-elements and other details. If the struts-example where adapted to use this approach, people would jump all over it I'll bet. 3. XSL is difficult to debug, and if we're truly separating view from everything else - good luck finding a view developer that knows XSL.

JSP/Struts question: Best way to loop through an array/list/enumeration on my JSP?
Is there a struts-specific tag allowing me to loop through an array (list) of strings and have them be printed sequentially? I am currently populating a template JSP from the database - the way I retrieve the page content is by tagging a contentID to the end of the request, like this: http://myserver/app/getpage.do?cid=42 Now, I have a 'related' field in my content table, which is a simpe list of other page cids. What I need to do is to retrieve go to those other content entries, retrieve the linktext field and THEN loop through it on my JSP. Everything until the looping is no problem - at firsthand I was simply considering to just pull in the data and then pre-process some HTML/JavaScript tags in my bean that gets the db data. However, after giving it a second thought I was pretty sure that this is a common task and that there must be something out there that allows me to loop through an array/list/enumeration or something. ANY input would be very welcome. Cheers, Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

form target to different frame leaves current frame busy
I've got a problem with forms and frames I hadn't noticed until now. Two
frames - input form in one, which when submitted, the results appear in the
second. Works functionally (results appear in target frame) but the mouse
cursor remains with hourglass image when it is over the source frame.
I am submitting a form with a link, using a JavaScript function like so:
html:form action=saveEntity.do focus=name target=detail
.
.
.
html:link href
=javascript:subForm(document.forms[0],'Entity.Advanced');bean:message
key=link.add_detail//html:link
.
.
the JS functions used is:
function subForm(iform, act) {
validate(iform, act);
iform.action=Publish. + act + .do;
iform.submit();
}
where act is the action to perform, e.g. if act='Chapter' then the
'Publish.Chapter.do' is set as the form action.

Re: Questions from an Idiot who Longs to Understand Struts
Cody,
I'd suggest not using a custom tag to contain your list and instead just
use a regular bean class.
You can then use the jsp:usebean tag to instantiate the bean and then I
think the iterate tags will be able to call the getUserList method from the
class

OK -
So, not long ago, having read about MVC and having been introduced to
Struts by discovering it on the Jakarta site, I embarked upon my journey to
learn it. Absolutely frustrated with the documentation (it appers to be
written for people who happen to know a thing or two), and ffrustrated by
the lack of support references in bookstores or the online community - I
broke doen and started implementing my own MVC. Why? Because I at least
found a step by step reference for how to do it.
Anyways
Having done the MVC myself, I finally got to the place where I thought
(OK, now I think I will probably be able to comprehend Struts).
So I begin to convert my app.
Here's where I stand:
I've got all the tld's set and tested and struts is up and rearing to go
(as far as I can tell).
I've got Poolman set and tested; ready for use in the system (as I heard
this was more robust than the b uilt-in Struts pool manager).
Log4J is in.
And now I am just stuck on the most basic, simplist things!
I'm trying to iterate through a list and I am just stuck - somebody please
help. Here's what I have got:
First, a custom tag called userList:
***
// UserListTag.java
package com.magneta.tags;
import org.apache.log4j.*;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TagSupport;
public class UserListTag extends TagSupport implements java.io.Serializable
{
// a category instance for log4j logging
private Category cat = Category.getInstance(UserListTag.class.getName
());
private List userList;
public int doStartTag() {
cat.debug(in doStartTag());
userList = new ArrayList();
userList.add(cburleson001);
userList.add(bshoemate001);
userList.add(jacarey001);
userList.add(agilbert001);
userList.add(rafael001);
userList.add(margetic001);
cat.debug(storing userList bean in page scope);
pageContext.setAttribute(userList,userList);
return SKIP_BODY;
}
public List getUserList () {
return userList;
}
}
***
Now, here's what I am trying to do on my JSP page - just simply iteratte
through the list with the following...
* from admin_userAdmin.jsp
!-- initialize the user list (in bean in page scope) --
app:userList/
logic:iterate id=userList name=userList
bean:write name=userList property=userList/
/logic:iterate
***
BUT when I hit the page, I get the following exception
javax.servlet.ServletException: No getter method for property userList of
bean userList
Can someone shed some light? Help me people - I am on square one.

RE: Re: Extending Struts (was: Boost Struts with XSLT and XML - JavaWorld.com)
Can someone please enlighten me as to the current thinking is on integrating Struts with Cocoon: - there seems to be certain amount of thought/discussion that points toward reinventing the wheel as far as Cocoon's outstanding XML functionality is concerned - Cocoon also seems somewhat to have started encroaching on areas that were previously not part of its scope, i.e. not directly XML related... at the very least there is a close analogy between Cocoon pipelines and the (and eagerly anticipated!) workflow functionality in the next version of Struts. The Cocoon sitemap and Struts action mappings config file also exhibit similar ideas, and the ideas of both combined together could provide a very powerful framework for building apps. Is this overlap occurring or am I just been seeing things! Forgive me if this discussion has already taken place, or I've got the wrong end of the stick! It's true that there are sometimes different perspectives in each project's take on the same ideas, and sometimes the duplication of work may make sense, but I think there is probably more common ground than differences. It's just that there there are a number of amazing projects under various parts of the Apache umbrella that I've used use together to build apps, but recently it seems that sometimes they are not aware of obvious overlap with other Apache projects... I'd just rather continue discounting inferior expensive commercial solutions to the benefit of using the great work going on in the projects at Apache XML, Jakarta etc rather than have to trade off between two different implementations of the similar functionality in two Apache projects.

Uploading files - determining content type and other attributes
When using the Upload feature of Struts, is it possible to determine the content-type of the uploaded file? For instance, how do I figure out that themovie.mov is a video, or that it's really a jpeg with the wrong extension? Is this possible, or is it only possible to determine the content type from the extension? Also, when uploading images, is it possible to determine their width and height?

Cody,
I'd suggest not using a custom tag to contain your list and instead just
use a regular bean class.
You can then use the jsp:usebean tag to instantiate the bean and then I
think the iterate tags will be able to call the getUserList method from the
class

OK -
So, not long ago, having read about MVC and having been introduced to
Struts by discovering it on the Jakarta site, I embarked upon my journey
to
learn it. Absolutely frustrated with the documentation (it appers to be
written for people who happen to know a thing or two), and ffrustrated by
the lack of support references in bookstores or the online community - I
broke doen and started implementing my own MVC. Why? Because I at least
found a step by step reference for how to do it.
Anyways
Having done the MVC myself, I finally got to the place where I thought
(OK, now I think I will probably be able to comprehend Struts).
So I begin to convert my app.
Here's where I stand:
I've got all the tld's set and tested and struts is up and rearing to go
(as far as I can tell).
I've got Poolman set and tested; ready for use in the system (as I heard
this was more robust than the b uilt-in Struts pool manager).
Log4J is in.
And now I am just stuck on the most basic, simplist things!
I'm trying to iterate through a list and I am just stuck - somebody please
help. Here's what I have got:
First, a custom tag called userList:
***
// UserListTag.java
package com.magneta.tags;
import org.apache.log4j.*;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TagSupport;
public class UserListTag extends TagSupport implements
java.io.Serializable
{
// a category instance for log4j logging
private Category cat = Category.getInstance(UserListTag.class.getName
());
private List userList;
public int doStartTag() {
cat.debug(in doStartTag());
userList = new ArrayList();
userList.add(cburleson001);
userList.add(bshoemate001);
userList.add(jacarey001);
userList.add(agilbert001);
userList.add(rafael001);
userList.add(margetic001);
cat.debug(storing userList bean in page scope);
pageContext.setAttribute(userList,userList);
return SKIP_BODY;
}
public List getUserList () {
return userList;
}
}
***
Now, here's what I am trying to do on my JSP page - just simply iteratte
through the list with the following...
* from admin_userAdmin.jsp
!-- initialize the user list (in bean in page scope) --
app:userList/
logic:iterate id=userList name=userList
bean:write name=userList property=userList/
/logic:iterate
***
BUT when I hit the page, I get the following exception
javax.servlet.ServletException: No getter method for property userList of
bean userList
Can someone shed some light? Help me people - I am on square one.

Re: RE: [Fwd: Re: Hi....]]
I don't agree. If you need to use scriptlets in your JSPs and you use them over and over on many pages, the scriptlet should be a tag. The tag can be reused on many pages, the scriptlet can't.

Re: Form fields submitted multiple times...
If you are using the ValidatorForm, another good trick is to key off the
page property it provides.
In the reset function, put in a wrapper like this:
if (getPage()==0) {
setForward(null);
setName(null);
setTelephone(null);
setNumber(null);
};
This will keep the fields from being reset when you are in Wizard mode
and using multiple pages. You can also use it to provide a quick and
easy readonly mode. Just call
setPage(1);
in your Action before forwarding it.
Also works great in the Config if you are relaying actions. Just pass
?page=1 as part of the URI.
-T.
Ted Husted wrote:
If you are forwarding from Action to Actoin, the ActionServlet will
handle each request the same as the first.
If you do not want your ActionForm to be repopulated from the request as
you forward it around, the workaround is to put an readonly property on
the form. The public setters for your properties can then check this to
see if they should allow changes or not. The first action can then set
the ActionForm to readonly before forwarding it along.
public void setProperty(String property) {
if (isMutable()) {
this.property = property;
}
}
There's a SuperForm class in the Scaffold package in the contrib
folder that demonstrates this and some other techniques
[org.apache.scaffold.http.SuperForm].

Has anyone ever noticed the Set methods in the ActionForm invoked multiple
times (always using the values submitted from the html:form) from Action to
Action?
In our JSP, we have several buttons pertaining to the same form
(thisActionForm). Depending on which button was pressed, a different
action mapping is invoked from Struts:
action path=/handleButtons type=HandleButtonsAction
name=thisActionForm validate=false scope=session input=/home.jsp
forward name=updateDetailsButton
path=/updateDetails.do/
forward name=resetDetailsButton
path=/resetDetails.do/
forward name=calculateButton
path=/calculateAmounts.do/
forward name=deleteButton
path=/deleteDetails.do/
/action
action path=/resetDetails type=ResetDetailsAction name=thisActionForm
validate=false scope=session input=/home.jsp
forward name=success
path=/calculateAmounts.do/
/action
action path=/calculateAmounts type=CalculateAmountsAction
name=thisActionForm validate=false scope=session input=/home.jsp
forward name=success path=/details.jsp/
/action
We see the fields entered/changed in thisActionForm set before entering
the HandleButtonsAction class.
We also see the same field values set again before entering the
ResetDetailsAction class, as if the HTML form has been submitted a second
time.
The ResetDetailsAction resets some date fields on thisActionForm, by
invoking various Set methods.
We then see the original field values set a third time before entering the
CalculateAmountsAction class, clearing out the values reset in the
ResetDetailsAction
As anyone seen anything similar?
Is there an attribute we could use in the action element that would disallow
the form from submitting again and again and again?
Our current work around is to not use thisActionForm on any other actions,
except the HandleButtonsAction, and just grab thisActionForm off of the
session in ResetDetailsAction and CalculateAmountsAction, but we feel
that there's an easier way.
Sorry for the novel...

Re: Struts runtime expression tag.
Unfortunately, you cannot nest tags within each other. You best best is to put a global forward in your struts-config.xml, such as: forward name=membership path=/membership.do/ And then write your a href as follows: a href=html:rewrite forward='membership'/?id=bean:write name='formBean' property='id'/Membership/a OR, I think you can do it this way: html:link page=/membership.do paramId=id paramName=formBean paramProperty=idMembership/html:link Also, I think it's good practice to have all your links go to forwards rather than pages. This way, if you ever need to change your action mapping (from say *.do to /do/*), you can do it by only touching the web.xml and struts-config.xml.

Re: Struts and Borland jbuilder6
Make sure that the struts.jar file is in your web-inf/lib directory in your project. You do this by right clicking on the web root in the project pain, selecting properties, click on dependancies, then make sure the struts library is set to include all. When you do that, Jbuilder will automatically copy the struts library into web-inf/lib. If the jar file isn't in this folder, it will not work.

I've got a problem with forms and frames I hadn't noticed until now. Two
frames - input form in one, which when submitted, the results appear in
the
second. Works functionally (results appear in target frame) but the mouse
cursor remains with hourglass image when it is over the source frame.
I am submitting a form with a link, using a JavaScript function like so:
html:form action=saveEntity.do focus=name target=detail
.
.
.
html:link href
=javascript:subForm(document.forms[0],'Entity.Advanced');bean:message
key=link.add_detail//html:link
.
.
the JS functions used is:
function subForm(iform, act) {
validate(iform, act);
iform.action=Publish. + act + .do;
iform.submit();
}
where act is the action to perform, e.g. if act='Chapter' then the
'Publish.Chapter.do' is set as the form action.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.
