Tomcat 4.1 and indexId

[Arnaud . PASQUIERS]

Hello!

In my application I am using the  indexId  attribute in the
nested:iterate  tag. During
development under NetBeans/Tomcat 4.0 all is ok.

When I deploye my application with a Tomcat 4.0 server, all is ok too. But
when I use a
Tomcat 4.1 version, this error occures:

Error compiling file:  editWeekDistribution_jsp.java [javac]
Compiling 1 source file
...editWeekDistribution_jsp.java:271: _jspx_weekNumber_1 is already defined
in
_jspService(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest,javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse)
  java.lang.Integer _jspx_weekNumber_1 = weekNumber;
^
...editWeekDistribution_jsp.java:271: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : variable weekNumber
location: class org.apache.jsp.editWeekDistribution_jsp
  java.lang.Integer _jspx_weekNumber_1 = weekNumber;


Thanks for your help,
Arno

RE: JSP's under WEB-INF... or not

[Erik Beijnoff]

 Just curious - why would one choose to do this instead of simply 
 locating their JSP pages under WEB-INF (which is also portable)?
 

Well, the way I look at it, the WEB-INF is a container for application
resource files and meta data, not for the real application.

Also, if you put your stuff in WEB-INF, you'll lock yourself down to the
controller servlet paradigm. I can't come up with a reason right now to
have direct access to one of your jsp files, but if you DO, you won't be
able to access it within WEB-INF, whatever you do. With a deployment
rule, you can always ease on restrictions.

[Struts Tip] #16 How to (not) check a radio button

[Ted Husted]

Each radio button element requires an assigned value that 
distinguishes it from the other radio buttons. When creating a 
static array of radio buttons, you need to indicate which one of 
these, if any, is checked. This does not need to be done when the 
radio buttons are being populated from dynamic data. The control 
can compare itself to the form bean's property and then check 
itself when appropriate.

Re: Forwarding and File Download problem

[Mike Way]

Eddie,

The reference you refer to is for upload, so I am a bit confused as you 
talk about download.

I assume you do mean download so:

To change the name that you are downloading you need to have a mapping to 
your download servlet so that you can use a request path like 
http://../download/myFile.jpg then the browser dialog will show 
myFile.jpg. I am not sure how you'd acheive this with an Action Class, I'd 
look around creating a new mapping something like this:

  servlet-mapping
servlet-nameaction/servlet-name
url-pattern/download/*/url-pattern
  /servlet-mapping

Before anyone shoots me down, I am not at all sure this will work as it 
stands, but it is a starting point.

As far as the redirection after the download is concerned, you have a 
problem in that the browser is requesting the page and then doing nothing 
else. That's the way HTTP works :-(

You could experiment with using a refresh header tag in the page from which 
you launch the download, so that it refreshes every 5 seconds or so.

Hope the (slightly vague) ideas help.

Mike

This is an old one but I have scoured the archives and not seen a 
definitive answer to my problem.

I am downloading a file via an Action class and want to refresh the Page 
display after the download completes. Now the action which should be 
forwarded to is not being executed. I have even tried to forward to a JSP 
rather than Action class but nothing seems to work.

This has been reported on more than one occasion eg:
http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?[EMAIL PROTECTED]msgId=154587

Never found a definitive answer.

Also the dialog box that IE pops up says that you are downloading the 
file: action class name  from localhost. This is misleading as the 
actual dialog box that is next presented correctly names the output file 
name that I have set up. How can I change the name of the file on the 
first dialog box ?


TIA

Eddie

RE: Réf. : RE: Tomcat 4.1 and indexId

[Míguel Ángel Mulero Martínez]

I don't know if this is your case, but version 4.10  4.11 had a bug under
windows if you install it in a different drive from C:. They fail when try
to compile JSP.

Alos it isn't your case, I recommend to you change to version 4.12 or 4.05
(other versions have a security problem with default servlet that allows to
see the code of your JSP or other resources).

Miguel

RE: name of zip file???chuck cavaness book

[James Mitchell]

Chuck has worked very hard to get this book into print.  In case you don't
know, he has a family (wife and two sons) to support.

He is too nice of a guy to say this, so I will say it for him...

There is a reason that the download page is not there anymore. Buy the book.

The dedicated individuals who spend hours each day helping others resolve
issues get ABSOLUTELY NO compensation for doing so.  For those who are lucky
enough to get a book deal, the proceeds from it are hardly compensation for
the enormous amount of time it takes to bring it to print.

I know there will still be some who try to cheat him out of what little
income he gets from each print, but the rest of us honest folk can do our
part and thank him with our wallets.

I purchased Ted's pdf the same day it was available, and I plan to pick up
Chuck's as soon as it hits the shelves at my local book store.  I also own
the other 2 books Chuck has co-authored.

Thank you Craig, Ted, Chuck, Brian, Sue, James and others (there are too
many to name) for your wisdom, guidance, and patience.  Besides the day to
day knowledge transfer, having a good book beside us helps us all do our
jobs better.so THANK YOU

Durability of a ActionForm

[Míguel Ángel Mulero Martínez]

Hi all,

My question is how can I make for extend the durability of a request scope
ActionForm. For example, in my Action I can do somethig like:

request.setAttribute(form, form);

In this way, the ActionForm that I retrieved from the JSP and arrived to the
Action, will arrive to the next JSP.
But, how can I do it in the JSP no make it arrive to the next Action?

My problem is that I wan't to use a request ActionForm (not a session), and
if I create it in the Action before the JSP, when I make a submit the
ActionForm doesn't exist and Struts creates one new. If I don't put the
Action before the JSP, then Struts creates it in the JSP and it calls the
submit function when I make submit. I wan't to achieve the second without
putting the ActionForm in session scope and creating it in the Action before
the JSP.

Thanks all!!
Miguel

Re: name of zip file???chuck cavaness book

Thanks James to bring it to my notice!!!
 I truly appreciate ur sentiments
 I promise!! i will surely buy it as soon as it is available in the book
stores...
But wait a minute i think u should always think of the possibility wherein a
newbie honestly looking all out to get some packaged material on the
technology to use and  promote in one's own place of working...
The reason why i am screaming BOOK!!! BOOK!!!  is, i honestly thought it is
not the issue with the chuck books getting printed rather... some s/w
devolper has overwritten a jsp page(download.jsp) at
theserverside.comHad it not been the case they would have also removed
the link
http://www2.theserverside.com/resources/strutsreview.jsp
which talks about downloading the book chapters and then takes to a
different page altogether
there would surely have just been a list... no hyperlinks ..no instructions
to download it ...

Also i have enquired at bookstore in my local area ...Chuck's book has not
reached the book stores yet!!!

I gather... u have been a very sincere, honest and dedicated s/w
professional ...but does ur innate humanity not gives you all the more
reasons to trust others too???

 My understanding is that you have to use an extension mapping in order to
 use the Module functionality, i.e. '*.do'

 What are people doing if they need to serve say a '.pdf' from an action?
 That is, my pdf is dynamic and requires the use of the same DAO's that I
use
 for my jsp pages.  Sure you can set the mime type, but Internet Explorer
 ignores these most of the time and counts on the extension.  If you map
 *.pdf and *.do then you won't be able to server static pdf's???

You generate the PDF using FOP and attach to the request or session the

Html:select doesn't select correct element..

[Beeson, Ashley]

I have a problem with html:select not setting selected=selected for the
correct item in a list of options. The weird thing is that it works fine for
all bar one of my pages.
 
I have checked that the property being passed in exists in the list of
options using a bean:write just above the html:select statement.
channelCommodity has the value of one of the elements 'code' in our
collection. 
 
A snippet of the code I'm using which doesn't work properly:
 
bean:define id=commodities name=CHANNELEDITFORM
property=commodityUnits /
html:select size=1 property=channelCommodity
html:options collection=commodities property=code
labelProperty=display/
/html:select
 
A snippet of the code I'm using which works correctly on another jsp page:
 
bean:define id=statuses name=MEASURINGDEVICEEDITFORM
property=energisationStatuses /
html:select size=1 property=energisation
html:options collection=statuses property=code
labelProperty=display/
/html:select
 
I should point out that there are no errors with the pages displayed apart
from the missing selected=selected for the element that should be
selected.
 
This is using struts 1.0.2 and running on tomcat 4.0.4.
 
Any suggestions?

RE: IE's autocomplete

[Robert Taylor]

David, Struts is a server side framework, and therefore does not directly
control the behavior of the client.
Struts, JSTL, EL, etc..., facilitate rendering data in the client. So unless
HTML or Javascript has a standard way to disable MS IE's *autocomplete* for
input forms, you are at the mercy of the client.

Re: Forwarding and File Download problem

[Eddie Fung]

 The reference you refer to is for upload, so I am a bit confused as you 
talk about download.

I believe the issues are the same and the previous posting appears to 
describe the same behavior..Simply that the data stream seems to 'prevent', 
in some way , the processing of the rest of the code ie. after the output 
stream is closed I can see that the  Action forward code is run but the JSP 
does not seem to have been forwarded to. If it had then the page would have 
been refreshed. I even tried to forward to the same action class but with a 
different action value so that it would 're-enter' itself and exit , 
forwarding to a JSP but it didn't work. It appears that the Controller is 
ignoring the forwarding that has been mapped in the struts-config.xml file...

You could experiment with using a refresh header tag in the page from 
which you launch the download, so that it refreshes every
 seconds or so.

Unfortunately it is only when a file is downloaded that I need to show the 
'refresh' behavior..

Thanks anyway..

 Thanks James to bring it to my notice!!!
  I truly appreciate ur sentiments
  I promise!! i will surely buy it as soon as it is available in the book
 stores...

That's great.  I'm sure Chuck would appreciate it.

 But wait a minute i think u should always think of the possibility
 wherein a newbie honestly looking all out to get some packaged material
 on the technology to use and  promote in one's own place of working...

True.

 The reason why i am screaming BOOK!!! BOOK!!!  is, i honestly thought it
 is not the issue with the chuck books getting printed rather... some s/w
 devolper has overwritten a jsp page(download.jsp) at theserverside.com

Yes, and that's perfectly understandable.

 Had it not been the case they would have also removed the link
 http://www2.theserverside.com/resources/strutsreview.jsp which talks
 about downloading the book chapters and then takes to a
 different page altogether

I understand where you are coming from.  Unless I'm way off and this
whole this was (as you say) an overwritten jsp, it's not fair for the reader
or the author that there are pages with bad information and/or links on
them.

I mean, what's the author supposed to say.the preview is no longer
free
That's only going to piss off people.  And that's the last thing you want to
do is
piss off your audienceespecially with a book on such a specific topic.

 there would surely have just been a list... no hyperlinks ..no
 instructions to download it ...


 Also i have enquired at bookstore in my local area ...Chuck's book has not
 reached the book stores yet!!!

 I gather... u have been a very sincere, honest and dedicated s/w
 professional ...but does ur innate humanity not gives you all the more
 reasons to trust others too???

My message was not intended to be personal.  I'm sorry if it came off that
way.  In fact, I had put don't take this personally before sending, but
decided to delete it because it is such an over-used phrase to hide
vindictive comments.

Re: [Struts Tip] #16 How to (not) check a radio button

[shakeel . mahate]

Hi Ted,

In your example for Struts beta2 you show that the collections of label
and value is initialized in the Action.

Is it better to perform this functionality in the ActionForm bean?

-Shakeel

Ted wrote:

 Each radio button element requires an assigned value that
 distinguishes it from the other radio buttons. When creating a
 static array of radio buttons, you need to indicate which one of
 these, if any, is checked. This does not need to be done when the
 radio buttons are being populated from dynamic data. The control
 can compare itself to the form bean's property and then check
 itself when appropriate.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/forms/aut

It's disabled by adding autocomplete=off to the form tag or to an
input tag.  AFAIK, this means that the struts-html taglib would have to
support the autocomplete attribute for html:form and html:text.
Shouldn't be too difficult add this functionality (in your own struts source

Yes, I've checked this by printing out the value in the JSP and cross
referencing it with the html option value=blah in the source
generated. I can only assume that for some reason on that one page the
comparison is failing. I have no idea why.

I've checked that there are no spaces / hidden control characters that might

Index Based Names in Iterate Tag

[Cohan, Sean]

I want to present a collection of beans using the logic:iterate tag.  One
of the fields in the collection is another collection of beans.  This second
collection of beans I want presented in an html select object.  In my Action
Class, I'd like to iterate through the first collection creating http
request attributes, each one containing an instance of the second
collection.  Something like this:

List list = (List) getList();
Iterator it = list.iterator();

for (i=1; it.hasNext(), i++) {
  MyBean myBean = (MyBean) it.next();
  request.setAttribute (select+ i, (List) myBean.getOtherList());
}

I want to use the html:options tag to populate the select objects.  The
collection parameter of html:options will have to the name of the
attributes created above (i.e., select1, select2, select3,...)  

How can I create the collection name in each html:options tag in the jsp?
Can I use the indexId of the Iterate tag somehow to create it?  For example,
something like:

  table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 
  logic:iterate ...
tr 
  td
 html:select property=key
   html:options collection=select + indexOf property=id
labelProperty=description /
 /html:select
  /td
/tr
  /logic:iterate 
  /table

I know my use of indexOf can't be right.  I'm just trying to show the idea
of what I'm trying to do.


Thanks.

JSTL in Struts.

[ROSSEL Olivier]

I wish to use JSTL taglib in my project (Struts 1.1b2).
I have read on the mailing-list that latest versions
of Struts contain Struts-EL. 
I understood that this Struts-EL is an implementation 
of JSTL. But it requires the nightly builds. 

It seems that Sun and Jakarta Taglibs also provide 
JSTL.

To me, I could download one of them, install it manually 
into Struts 1.1b2 and go.

My question: 
what's the difference between Struts-EL and

Re: Index Based Names in Iterate Tag

[Patrice]

I think that you can use a scriplet to define the property name:

% String property = null; %
logic:iterate ... indexID=index
html:select property=key
% property = select + index; %
html:options collection=%= property % property=id
labelProperty=description /
/html:select
/logic:iterate

Hope it helps

Subject: Index Based Names in Iterate Tag


 I want to present a collection of beans using the logic:iterate tag.
One
 of the fields in the collection is another collection of beans.  This
second
 collection of beans I want presented in an html select object.  In my
Action
 Class, I'd like to iterate through the first collection creating http
 request attributes, each one containing an instance of the second
 collection.  Something like this:

 List list = (List) getList();
 Iterator it = list.iterator();

 for (i=1; it.hasNext(), i++) {
   MyBean myBean = (MyBean) it.next();
   request.setAttribute (select+ i, (List) myBean.getOtherList());
 }

 I want to use the html:options tag to populate the select objects.  The
 collection parameter of html:options will have to the name of the
 attributes created above (i.e., select1, select2, select3,...)

 How can I create the collection name in each html:options tag in the
jsp?
 Can I use the indexId of the Iterate tag somehow to create it?  For
example,
 something like:

   table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 
   logic:iterate ...
 tr
   td
  html:select property=key
html:options collection=select + indexOf property=id
 labelProperty=description /
  /html:select
   /td
 /tr
   /logic:iterate
   /table

 I know my use of indexOf can't be right.  I'm just trying to show the idea
 of what I'm trying to do.


 Thanks.

RE: JSTL in Struts.

[Hohlen, John]

The Struts-EL supports EL just like JSTL.  But the Struts-EL project is
all the Struts custom tags you're used to, less functionality covered by
tags in the JSTL.  In essence, it forces developers to use the JSTL for
certain functionality instead of relying on the Struts tags.  This how this
would have been if the JSTL was developed before the Struts custom tags.
But the JSTL came after Struts, resulting in duplicate functionality between
the two tag libraries.  Hence, using Struts-EL encourages the use of
standard custom tags (i.e. JSTL) in lieu of the Struts tags, where
possible.  Here's some more info from the readme file in the Struts-EL
project:

Struts-EL extension
===

Introduction


This subproject is an extension of the Struts tag library.  Each JSP custom
tag
in this library is a subclass of an associated tag in the Struts tag
library.
One difference is that this tag library does not use rtexprvalues, it uses
the expression evaluation engine in the JSP Standard Tag Library (version
1.0)
to evaluate attribute values.

In addition, some of the Struts tags were not ported to this library, as it
was
determined that their functionality was entirely supplied by the JSTL.
These
particular Struts tags, and the reason for their non-porting will be
described
in the documentation for this library.

In order to fully understand the correct utilization of this library, you
must
understand the use and operation of the Struts tag library, and the use and
operation of the JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (hereafter called the
JSTL), along with the expression language (sometimes called the EL) used
for evaluating attribute values.

Tag Mapping
---

In implementing the Struts-EL library, every Struts tag that provides a
feature
that is not covered by the JSTL (1.0) library is mapped into the Struts-EL
library.  This section reviews which Struts tags are NOT implemented in the
Struts-EL library, and which JSTL tags provide that feature.

Many of the non-porting decisions were based on the fact that the JSTL
expression 
language itself provides the same functionality.  In those cases, in
addition to a 
possible JSTL tag name, the symbol EL will be listed.

Bean Tag Library Tags NOT Implemented in Struts-EL
==

present   c:if, c:when, EL

Html Tag Library Tags NOT Implemented in Struts-EL
==

None (all of them were ported).

Attribute Mapping
-

At this point of the implementation, there is only one change (to two
similar
tags) to the set of attributes between the Struts tags, and the Struts-EL
tags.
The logic:match and logic:notMatch tags have an additional attribute
named
expr, which can take any value, and will be used as the value to compare
against, in addition to the choices of cookie, header,
name/property,
and parameter.

Usage Requirements
--

The Struts-EL tag library requires the use of the Struts tag library, and
the
Java Server Pages Standard Tag Library.  It is not necessary for JSP pages
using the Struts-EL tag library to also use the Struts tags or the JSTL
tags,
but the Struts and JSTL tag libraries need to be part of the application
utilizing the Struts-EL tag library.

This is because the Struts-EL tag classes are all subclasses of Struts tag
classes, and their implementation uses classes provided by the JSTL.

I wish to use JSTL taglib in my project (Struts 1.1b2).
I have read on the mailing-list that latest versions
of Struts contain Struts-EL. 
I understood that this Struts-EL is an implementation 
of JSTL. But it requires the nightly builds. 

It seems that Sun and Jakarta Taglibs also provide 
JSTL.

To me, I could download one of them, install it manually 
into Struts 1.1b2 and go.

My question: 
what's the difference between Struts-EL and
Jakarta Taglib JSTL, for example?
why should I use Struts-EL, instead of JSTL from
other sources?

I like how it extends Exception which forces you to catch it.  It seems like

RE: JSTL in Struts.

[Hohlen, John]

JSTL requires JSP 1.2 or higher.  I don't use Tomcat, so I do know much
about it.  More specifically, I don't know if it has JSTL support built-in,
or whether it still requires importing the JSTL reference implementation
from Jakarta.

I'm currently using the JSTL reference implementation (1.0.2), and the
Struts-EL library with WebLogic 6.1.  These work fine.  Hence, these should
work for you as long as your application server supports JSP 1.2 or higher.

RE: IE's autocomplete

[david . heagney]

Thanks Robert...

I realise Struts is a server side framework but take the Struts notation
for say an input box e.g. html:text property=name size=35/
It supports the attributes 'alt', 'disabled' and various
Javascript-specific extensions which are not all supported or rendered the
same in different browsers...
I have read several mails inquiring about the same thing, if the
'autocomplete' extension will be accessible through Struts in the future...
The auotcomplete function is a security risk or is percieved as such by
many people, it would seem more like common sense to cater for it in
whatever means possible, even if it simply serves to make STRUTS more
attractive as a rapid development framework for people who are going to use
IE to view the application and where security is an issue.
HTML has a standard way of disabling it, e.g. input type=text
autocomplete=off ... this is how it's disabled in many banking
applications etc. where security is a big concern...

I'd appreciate any input on this that anyone might have,

David, Struts is a server side framework, and therefore does not directly
control the behavior of the client.
Struts, JSTL, EL, etc..., facilitate rendering data in the client. So
unless
HTML or Javascript has a standard way to disable MS IE's *autocomplete* for
input forms, you are at the mercy of the client.

Runtime dynamic form/jsp from XML

[Andrew B Forman]

project: create an xml-driven set of screens within the struts framework.

concept: we're attempting to create a rapid-release framework for rolling
out new products.  the idea is to have a portion of the framework driven
by xml.  the xml would contain information on what fields to display to
the user, validation rules for the fields, bean routing  database mappings
for that bean to use.  all this fun stuff would be assembled at runtime
into a jsp using a dynaForm with a map for all the form data.  after
form submittal, the validation is run, the map is sent to the bean
which uses the db mappings  a insert/update/delete parameter to tell
it what to do where.

question: in searching the archives i've found plenty of references to
people wanting to develop similar projects - but very little concrete
information on how one might accomplish it =).

has anyone built a system similar to this?
 (especially someone who's code i could have =)

any suggestions on better design/methedology?

much thanks,
andrew

RE: IE's autocomplete

[Michael Delamere]

Hi David,

I haven´t personally needed this yet, however I suppose there is a
workaround until the struts developers update the tag.

The only other way that I can think of is to use a normal input field
with bean:write ... ignore=true/ for the value attribute.  I assume
you don´t need to have this deactivated everywhere?!  Of course, should
anyone have a better idea - I´ll be glad to learn from him/her ;-) !

Regards,

Michael Delamere

Thanks Robert...

I realise Struts is a server side framework but take the Struts notation
for say an input box e.g. html:text property=name size=35/
It supports the attributes 'alt', 'disabled' and various
Javascript-specific extensions which are not all supported or rendered
the
same in different browsers...
I have read several mails inquiring about the same thing, if the
'autocomplete' extension will be accessible through Struts in the
future...
The auotcomplete function is a security risk or is percieved as such by
many people, it would seem more like common sense to cater for it in
whatever means possible, even if it simply serves to make STRUTS more
attractive as a rapid development framework for people who are going to
use
IE to view the application and where security is an issue.
HTML has a standard way of disabling it, e.g. input type=text
autocomplete=off ... this is how it's disabled in many banking
applications etc. where security is a big concern...

I'd appreciate any input on this that anyone might have,
Thanks,

If security is such a big issue, why the heck are you using IE as a
client? I am having success in getting clients to switch to mozilla
as the preferred client for all my web applications. Multiplatform
yet consistent view for everyone.

Re: [OT] How to tell when a project you are on is in trouble

[Kevin . Bedell]

Call me crazy, but I can see how this may be useful.

NullPointerException on its own subclasses RuntimeException. This means
that you are not required to catch runtime exceptions or declare them
with a throws clause of a method.

But there are times where having an object be null may have a meaning other
than a bug in the code - for example you may read from some third-party
library that returns a null object as a valid response. If that happens,
you may need to catch it or declare it in a throws clause.
NullPointerException won't enforce this becaue it subclasses
RuntimeException.

The problem I would have is that it is not named after a recognizable
business event - it should be named as an application exception that
describes what caused it. Something like: NoDataAvailableException or
whatever describes the actual problem.

On the other hand, this person could just be an idiot - who am I to say? :

RE: IE's autocomplete

[Chen, Gin]

In the meantime why don't you just disable it like so:

(assuming you have only one form)

html:html
head
html:base /
script
function disableAutoComplete()
{
document.form[0].autocomplete=off;
}
/script
/head
body onload=disableAutoComplete()

html:form ...

/body
/html:html

this method fails if you dont allow javascript (duh)

Great idea, but near impossible to accomplish.  Ok, if you know who is
going to be using the clients, you might be able to do some persuasion
:-)!  We´ve actually started using Netscape 7.x which I find to be quite
good!  Still, I find that the majority use the IE and it will take a
while, more likely never, to get people away from it!

getting select tag data from ActionForm

[meissa . Sakho]

Hi all,

I define a multiple select tag in my jsp like this :

html:select property='selectedCodes' size=4 multiple=true
  html:options name='fundOptionCodes'
  labelName='fundOptionLabels' /
/html:select

name and label are objects in the session.

I would like to capture selected datas from actionForm
instead of doing it like this :

String[] selectedCodes = request.getParameterValues(selectedCodes);

I wondered if someone has used this feature or something similar.

The other problem I'm facing is that when an error occurs,

the selected values are not selected back when the form is redisplayed.
Only one value is selected. It seems to me that it's because of the
property attribute 'selectedCodes' which is a String.

Is there another way to declare it so as all selected values could
be rendered back ?

any help would be appreciate.

Meissa

Re: Runtime dynamic form/jsp from XML

[tnist]

Andrew,

You may want to have a look at STXX.  It is available at 
http://www.openroad.ca/opencode/stxx.

Here is a generial description from the site:

Struts for transforming XML with XSL (stxx) is an extension of the struts framework to 
support XML and XSL without changing the functionality of struts .  

stxx sit's on top of struts, extending it's existing functionality to allow Action 
classes to return XML that will be transformed by an XSL file. 
The idea of stxx is to remove the need to be use JSP and TagLibs for the presentation 
layer of this framework. However, stxx does not force you to go the XML/XSL route, 
both technologies will work side by side.

Todd G. Nist

 Subject: Runtime dynamic form/jsp from XML
 
 
 project: create an xml-driven set of screens within the struts framework.
 
 concept: we're attempting to create a rapid-release framework for rolling
 out new products.  the idea is to have a portion of the framework driven
 by xml.  the xml would contain information on what fields to display to
 the user, validation rules for the fields, bean routing  database mappings
 for that bean to use.  all this fun stuff would be assembled at runtime
 into a jsp using a dynaForm with a map for all the form data.  after
 form submittal, the validation is run, the map is sent to the bean
 which uses the db mappings  a insert/update/delete parameter to tell
 it what to do where.
 
 question: in searching the archives i've found plenty of references to
 people wanting to develop similar projects - but very little concrete
 information on how one might accomplish it =).
 
 has anyone built a system similar to this?
  (especially someone who's code i could have =)
 
 any suggestions on better design/methedology?
 
 much thanks,

Workflow Extention

Hi All,

when I am in the middle of a workflow, there is no way to allow the user

tried specifying a * and a *.do as a nextPath parameter but that doesn't
seem to work. Does anyone know how to gain a little more flexibility
with this framework? All I want to do is stop people from jumping
steps/entering into the middle of a workflow. At the moment, it seems
that a user needs to enter a workflow and then complete that workflow
before a he/she can leave it. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can
work around this?

Thanks

Re: [OT] How to tell when a project you are on is in trouble

[David Graham]

Generally, methods shouldn't return null they should throw an exception.  If 
I wanted to spend my time checking function return codes I would use C.  
It's perfectly acceptable to have a NoDataAvailableException if that 
describes the problem (NullObjectException describes nothing more than 
NullPointerException).

Also, you can never have a null object.  You either have an object or you 
don't :-).

RE: IE's autocomplete

[David Graham]

Struts tags will not render any client specific attributes.  The tags 
conform to the HTML 4.01 spec.  The autocomplete attribute is IE specific 
and therefore won't be supported by Struts.  It would be pretty easy to 
extend a Struts tag to support this attribute if you are using IE.

   buttons and links. I've have my own representation of course, but I was
   wonder what other people do. I suppose what I'm really after is a good
   story boarding technique that I can standardise on.

You're the first person I've ever heard say they like Netscape 7!  Truly 
amazing considering it's a memory hog and very slow.  Whatever floats your 
boat ;-) ...

My favorite Netscape 7 feature:  the install puts about 500 AOL, RealPlayer,

all these shortcuts, they'll have to use it more!

 If security is such a big issue, why the heck are you using IE as a
 client? I am having success in getting clients to switch to mozilla
 as the preferred client for all my web applications. Multiplatform
 yet consistent view for everyone.


Great idea, but near impossible to accomplish.  Ok, if you know who is
going to be using the clients, you might be able to do some persuasion
:-)!  We´ve actually started using Netscape 7.x which I find to be quite
good!  Still, I find that the majority use the IE and it will take a
while, more likely never, to get people away from it!

 NullPointerException on its own subclasses RuntimeException. This means

 you may need to catch it or declare it in a throws clause.
 NullPointerException won't enforce this becaue it subclasses
 RuntimeException.

I can see where you're coming from with this, but if null is a valid return

Struts tags will not render any client specific attributes.  The tags 
conform to the HTML 4.01 spec.  The autocomplete attribute is IE specific 
and therefore won't be supported by Struts.  It would be pretty easy to 
extend a Struts tag to support this attribute if you are using IE.

David, Struts is a server side framework, and therefore does not
directly control the behavior of the client. Struts, JSTL, EL, etc...,
facilitate rendering data in the client. So unless HTML or Javascript
has a standard way to disable MS IE's *autocomplete* for input forms,
you are at the mercy of the client.

RE: getting select tag data from ActionForm

[Karr, David]

Make selectedCodes be either a String[] or Collection in your
ActionForm.  Make sure your accessors/setters reflect that.  That will
allow the ActionForm value to be automatically populated from the
request parameters, and will fill in all the selected items when the
view is rebuilt.

 -Original Message-
 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
 
 Hi all,
 
 I define a multiple select tag in my jsp like this :
 
 html:select property='selectedCodes' size=4 multiple=true
   html:options name='fundOptionCodes'
   labelName='fundOptionLabels' /
 /html:select
 
 name and label are objects in the session.
 
 I would like to capture selected datas from actionForm
 instead of doing it like this :
 
 String[] selectedCodes = request.getParameterValues(selectedCodes);
 
 I wondered if someone has used this feature or something similar.
 
 The other problem I'm facing is that when an error occurs,
 
 the selected values are not selected back when the form is 
 redisplayed.
 Only one value is selected. It seems to me that it's because of the
 property attribute 'selectedCodes' which is a String.
 
 Is there another way to declare it so as all selected values could
 be rendered back ?

Check how much memory Netscape is consuming and compare that to IE and

set a html:checkbox checked

[Oliver Kersten]

Hi,

how can I set a checkbox checked during creation in the JSP. In HTML I would
do it like this:

  input type=checkbox name=mycheck checked

But I can't find that for the struts tag:

  html:checkbox property=mycheckcheck it/html:ckeckbox

And can I use the value true to set a checkbox checked. I get only a
true from my bean and not a checked or something else.

ciao Oliver.

Re: Tiles newbie

[Cedric Dumoulin]

 Yes, Tiles can work without Struts. You need to initialize the 
definition factory yourself if you use definitions. This can be done 
with a special servlet. In the distribution on original site 
(http://www.lifl.fr/~dumoulin/tiles/), there is a blank-tiles.war file 
that do exactly that.

Check how much memory Netscape is consuming and compare that to IE and 
Opera.  It's at least 10 MB higher!  I can't live without tabs so I use 
Opera which is a million times better than Netscape.  If you don't want to 
pay then I would use Mozilla.

I personally like the tabbing feature! ;-)  Plus it´s only the startup
that´s slow, after that it´s ok.   I agree though on 2 points:

1.  I hate the profile crap that you have to go through everytime you
install netscape.

2.  The additional software is a bit of a pain.

Anyway Netscape 7, like Mozilla, both use the same Gecko engine :-).

Problem with application scope data

[Jorge Ruben Macias Lopez]

Hi, I've been reading through the lists archive and still can't find the way
to make this work. I'm doing the following:

- Created a subclass from ActionServlet, with the following code:

public class IDCVActionServlet extends ActionServlet{

public void init() throws ServletException {

try{
super.init();
}
catch(ServletException e){
throw(e);
}
initIDCV();
}

protected void initIDCV(){
getServletContext().setAttribute(demo, new ValueBean(Mensaje
Demo));
}
}

the class ValueBean is the following:

public class ValueBean{
protected String data;

public ValueBean(String data){
this.data = data;
}

public String getData(){
return(this.data);
}

public void setData(String data){
this.data = data;
}
}

I modified web.xml to load my custom class instead of the standard
ActionServlet, then I try to print demo.data in a jsp, like this:
bean:write scope=application name=demo property=data/

but I get a nullPointerException, can someone point me to the right way of
doing this?  

Regards, 
Jorge Macias

RE: Tiles newbie

[Hue Holleran]

Yes, we were using Tiles (just) before Struts - and then went to use
Struts+Tiles. The only aspect AFAIK that will not be available is using
Tiles as Struts forwards.

There was also a thread about using Tiles with Struts 1.0.2 - try ng
apache.struts on news server news.basebeans.net and look for title:
Tiles and Struts 1.0.2?, the most relevant answer seems to be:

The Tiles site (http://www.lifl.fr/~dumoulin/tiles/) is the place to go.
The binary download (tiles.zip for ex.) contains the
'tilesForStruts1.0.jar'
you mention and also a 'tiles-blank-struts1-0.war to help you get started.

Struts tags will not render any client specific attributes.  The tags
conform to the HTML 4.01 spec.  The autocomplete attribute is IE specific
and therefore won't be supported by Struts.  It would be pretty easy to
extend a Struts tag to support this attribute if you are using IE.

David, Struts is a server side framework, and therefore does not
directly control the behavior of the client. Struts, JSTL, EL, etc...,
facilitate rendering data in the client. So unless HTML or Javascript
has a standard way to disable MS IE's *autocomplete* for input forms,
you are at the mercy of the client.

Help with custom validation please

[Alvarado, Juan (c)]

I've written a simple custom validator that is working just fine. However,
when the validation returns back to the page to display the error message to
the user, all I get is the following:

???en_US.errors.ordersearch??? 
I know that key errors.ordersearch is in the ApplicationResources.properties
file for sure.

The rest of my configuration for this custom validator is as follows:

validator name=namordersearch
 
classname=com.nielsenmedia.nam.ui.validation.NAMCustomValidator
   method=validateOrderSearch
 methodParams=java.lang.Object,
   org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction,
   org.apache.commons.validator.Field,
   org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors,
   javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest,
   javax.servlet.ServletContext
  msg=errors.ordersearch
/validator

 form name=searchByForm
field property=searchBy depends=required
arg0 key=prompt.searchby/
/field
field property=searchTerm
depends=namordersearch
arg0 key=prompt.search.term/
/field
/form

All I have in my method at the present time is this:

public static boolean validateOrderSearch(Object bean,

ValidatorAction va,

Field field,

ActionErrors errors,

HttpServletRequest request,

ServletContext context){


errors.add(field.getKey(),
StrutsValidatorUtil.getActionError(request, va, field));
return false;

If anyone has run across this issue and has a possible solution, please let
me know.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
   
I'm trying to get the definitive answer on this, will STRUTS have
functionality to disable MS IE's *autocomplete* for input forms in the

Error Cannot find message resources under key ui when attempting to subclass FormBeanConfig in struts-config.xml

[Ahearn, Denis]

Has anyone successfully subclassed the FormBeanConfig associated with a
form-bean element?

For example:
form-bean name=myForm type=org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm
className=mypackage.MyFormBeanConfig
.

.
/form-bean

RE: Problem with html:option

[Karr, David]

Ah, you should be using html:options, to replace your logic:iterate, and the 
nested html:option and bean:write.  It will handle all of that.  Read the API 
description.  You can also see some examples of this in the struts-exercise-taglib 
application in the Struts distribution.

I believe this will be in JSP 2.0 as an option in the TLD.

   Many of them simply echo their value straight to HTML.  We've added

RE: Can anybody tell how to setup struts in Netbeans IDE

[James Mitchell]

For working on the distribution itself:
1. Create a new project (from the Project Manager window)
2. Download the struts source distribution (or use built-in cvs to get
   the module)
3. Extract to a local drive (if on windoze, try not to have spaces in
   the directory (such as C:\My Documents)
4. Mount the directory you unzipped to
5. Copy build.properties.sample to build.properties and customize to point
   to where you keep those jars
6. Mount each of the source directories that you wish to work in
   For me, I use:
  jakarta-struts/src/share
  jakarta-struts/src/example
7. Mount each jar referenced in the build.properties file
   * Note - NetBeans has built in support for auto-mounting these if your
build.xml specifies the jars in the project.classpath, but
that's not the case for the default struts distribution.


For doing your own thing:
1. Create a new project (from the Project Manager window)
2. Download (or build for yourself) the required jars
   *See the jakarta-struts-1.1-b2/webapps/struts-example.war
3. Create a directory (I use a structure similar to how the webapp will exist)
   +-/my-project
 |
 +-/WEB-INF
   |
   +-/classes
   |
   +-/lib
   |
   +-/src

4. Create a build.xml for your project (so ant can build and war it for you).
   I recommend you use an existing file to get a jump start on development.
   Actually, I recommend you re-use someone's entire existing project.  That
   will surely get you ahead of the game.
5. Mount that directory
   * If you specified the build classpath and the jars are there, NetBeans
 will mount the jars for you automatically.
6. Mount each of the source directories that you wish to work in
  /myproject/WEB-INF/src

7. Always work in the node in #6 when modifying your java files.



I'll also take this opportunity to tell you that I recommend using Eclipse.  I
was a NetBeans advocate for the longest time, but a few weeks ago several
discussion had prompted me to try out Eclipse, and I can say without a doubt,
that it is much more mature an IDE than NetBeans.  And since they are both Open
Source.heywhy not?

One definite advantage Eclipse has over NetBeans is that Eclipse is built using
SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit).  That means that the IDE is written in Java, but
the underlying framework uses native JNDI calls the OS API.or, in other
words..its fast as Hell on windows.

Anyone who has left NetBeans running in the background overnight on a laptop
knows the pain of doing an Alt+Tab back to the IDE and seeing how Swing pulls
its rather large A## up from the swap fileheh heh :)

Hope that will help you get started.  I was planning to post a how-to for doing
this and a few other tasks with NetBeans, Eclipse, and JBuilder.  I even have
quite a few screenshots taken, but I just haven't finished it.

Good Luck with it!!!

RE: How to access the Struts ConnectionPool from an ActionForm

[Assenza, Chris]

Steve,

If memory serves, I don't think you can get the ActionServlet (thus the
servlet) from the Form; but it's been a long time since I last looked at
that stuff and I may well be incorrect on that - it's just a guess. 

As for the db call issue, it makes more sense for something like that to be
in a separate class or your Action at the least.  You would simply call the
appropriate accessors on the form to set the results.  For example, if you
had three VARCHAR/TEXT columns you could query  and obtain a ResultSet.
Then, iterate through the ResultSet and set the appropriate form properties.
Obviously, that's just one way to do it and perhaps not the ideal way, but
it is a viable option.

And I am getting a null pointer exception from this line in the

This call works great in my Action but doesn't work in my ActionForm.
On the IRC channel (irc.freenode.net #struts) we have been discussing

How do I ask the context for the connection pool in an ActionForm?

But I would also love to see discussion about the merits of putting a DB

how would I get the data from the DB call into the actionForm?

RE: Error Cannot find message resources under key ui when attempting to subclass FormBeanConfig in struts-config.xml

[James Mitchell]

Apparently, you are trying to use a 'message resources under key ui' and it is
not found :/

Have you validated that it is there?

Can you post your Dyna extension?

 Subject: Error Cannot find message resources under key ui when

 Has anyone successfully subclassed the FormBeanConfig associated with a
 form-bean element?

 For example:
 form-bean name=myForm type=org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm
 className=mypackage.MyFormBeanConfig
   .
   .
   .
 /form-bean

 When I try this, I get the following exception:

RE: Can anybody tell how to setup struts in Netbeans IDE

[Andy Kriger]

Out of curiosity, how well does Eclipse run on old hardware. I have a
Pentium laptop w/96M RAM - NB is my usual IDE but that's right out, even
JEdit is a bit painful to work it.

For working on the distribution itself:
1. Create a new project (from the Project Manager window)
2. Download the struts source distribution (or use built-in cvs to get
   the module)
3. Extract to a local drive (if on windoze, try not to have spaces in
   the directory (such as C:\My Documents)
4. Mount the directory you unzipped to
5. Copy build.properties.sample to build.properties and customize to point
   to where you keep those jars
6. Mount each of the source directories that you wish to work in
   For me, I use:
  jakarta-struts/src/share
  jakarta-struts/src/example
7. Mount each jar referenced in the build.properties file
   * Note - NetBeans has built in support for auto-mounting these if your
build.xml specifies the jars in the project.classpath, but
that's not the case for the default struts distribution.


For doing your own thing:
1. Create a new project (from the Project Manager window)
2. Download (or build for yourself) the required jars
   *See the jakarta-struts-1.1-b2/webapps/struts-example.war
3. Create a directory (I use a structure similar to how the webapp will
exist)
   +-/my-project
 |
 +-/WEB-INF
   |
   +-/classes
   |
   +-/lib
   |
   +-/src

4. Create a build.xml for your project (so ant can build and war it for
you).
   I recommend you use an existing file to get a jump start on development.
   Actually, I recommend you re-use someone's entire existing project.  That
   will surely get you ahead of the game.
5. Mount that directory
   * If you specified the build classpath and the jars are there, NetBeans
 will mount the jars for you automatically.
6. Mount each of the source directories that you wish to work in
  /myproject/WEB-INF/src

7. Always work in the node in #6 when modifying your java files.



I'll also take this opportunity to tell you that I recommend using Eclipse.
I
was a NetBeans advocate for the longest time, but a few weeks ago several
discussion had prompted me to try out Eclipse, and I can say without a
doubt,
that it is much more mature an IDE than NetBeans.  And since they are both
Open
Source.heywhy not?

One definite advantage Eclipse has over NetBeans is that Eclipse is built
using
SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit).  That means that the IDE is written in Java,
but
the underlying framework uses native JNDI calls the OS API.or, in other
words..its fast as Hell on windows.

Anyone who has left NetBeans running in the background overnight on a laptop
knows the pain of doing an Alt+Tab back to the IDE and seeing how Swing
pulls
its rather large A## up from the swap fileheh heh :)

Hope that will help you get started.  I was planning to post a how-to for
doing
this and a few other tasks with NetBeans, Eclipse, and JBuilder.  I even
have
quite a few screenshots taken, but I just haven't finished it.

Good Luck with it!!!

Self reference in optionsCollection

How do you reference this in an optionsCollection (or any 
standard tag for that matter)? The nested tags support a 
special notation of ./ or this/, which doesn't appear to carry 
through to standard tags.

RE: Can anybody tell how to setup struts in Netbeans IDE

[James Mitchell]

Well, I would know.  When I bought this laptop months ago, I gave my old one
away.  It was a PII 233 w/64MB.  I ran NetBeans on it one time..and never
tried it againLOL.  That was about the most painful thing I've watched in
quite a while.  I thought I was smelling smoke for a few minutes.

So my new laptop is a 1 gig with 128 (which I upgraded about 2 weeks ago to
512), so Eclipse is now SCREEMING

RE: Error Cannot find message resources under key ui when attempting to subclass FormBeanConfig in struts-config.xml

[Ahearn, Denis]

Yes, my struts-config.xml has the following definition in it:

message-resources key=ui
   null=false
   parameter=/WEB-INF/conf/UserInterfaceResources
 
factory=com.mycompany.util.SpecifiedPropMsgResourcesFactory/

The application where I am trying to subclass the FormBeanConfig is a robust
working Struts app, which has many bean:message tags that successfully
draw resources from the ui message resources.  As soon as I trying
subclassing the FormBeanConfig of any form-bean element, the exception
starts happening.

Here is my code for the MyFormBeanConfig class:

--

package mypackage;

import org.apache.struts.config.FormBeanConfig;

public class MyFormBeanConfig extends FormBeanConfig
{
protected String callbackClassName;

public MyFormBeanConfig()
{
super();
callbackClassName = null;
}

public String getCallbackClassName()
{
return this.callbackClassName;
}

public void setCallbackClassName(String callbackClassName)
{
this.callbackClassName = callbackClassName;
}
}

I am wondering if the Cannot find message resources under key ui error
message I am getting is not indicative of the true problem.  I really don't
think anything is wrong with how I have set up my message resources, but I
could be wrong.

Thanks again,
Denis
