RE: [OT] Case insensitive Map keys
Good.
Well, I can see you are really looking for efficiency. Then, why don't you try
fuzzy-logic? It should be even more efficient (and, frankly, even simpler).
The key is in the 6th less-relevant bit. Do a bit-by-bit XAND and the result should be
'1...01'.
HTH,
Freddy.

I'm trying the following:
public class KeyGeneratedMap extends HashMap {
public Object put(Object key, Object value) {
return
super.put(this.generateKey(key.toString()), value);
}
public Object get(Object key) {
return
super.get(this.generateKey(key.toString()));
}
/**
* This generates an integer object for Strings and are
case insensitive, that is
* Hello and heLLO generate the same Integer object value
*/
private Object generateKey(String str) {
int len = str.length();
int h=0;
char val[] = str.toCharArray();
char c;
for (int i = 0; i len; i++) {
c=val[i++];
if(c=97 c =122)
c-=32;
h = 31*h + c;
}
return new Integer(h);
}
}
This by now is three times faster than using toUpperCase for storing and
retrievinig items from the hash. What do you think?

Subject: [OT] Case insensitive Map keys
Hi:
Does anyone know an implementation of Map where keys are String and
case insensitive? I want to do this:
map.put(propertyName, DATA);
And then, I should be able to get the value like this:
Object obj = map.get(PROPERTYNAME);
Or like this:
Object obj = map.get(propertyname); //or whatever. case insensitive.
We tried using toUppercase when putting and toUppercase when getting,
and using equalsIgnoreCase but this is not as efficient as we need.
May there be a way to calculate a hash for strings in upper or lower
case to result in the same value?
Thanks in advance.
Guillermo.

RE: Back to the originating screen...
the scenerio you have explained do not need 2 actions.It is the case for just one OpenAction.(ProductListOpenAction).And the form for this action can keep record of teh search criteria entered(by having them as attributes) and the same can be passed to jsp either as text fields or hidden parameters.

Yes, indeed. To be precise, I'm (more) interested in the OpenAction/SaveAction paradigm, and the general GET/POST philosophy you applied. The Changing Language functionality would be a good example, although I've thought about another one that I'm also interested in: There is a login screen. The user logs into the system, gets redirected to the List of Products screen where the paginated list of products is shown. That screen allows the user to filter the list by specifying one or more filtering parameters (on that same screen) and submitting them (by clicking a Search - submit - button). Initially, there will appear all products. After clicking on Search, that same screen is reloaded; however, this time the list contains only those products meeting the search criteria. The last setting for all search parameters MUST be visible AFTER the search has returned (i.e. the screen has been reloaded). I've already been thinking and working on this very same example and I've already managed to solve it by implementing everything in the same Action. However, if I understood you (and the thread you told me to give a look at), it should preferably be implemented in 2 different Actions. Anyway, won't distract you any further. I look forward to hearing from you again.

Hi, We have implemented similar concept.And you are right.You have to be careful not to redo the last posts. Luckily for us, the desin we had solved the problem.We have a concept of OpenAction(Actions that prepare data for view) and Save action(Post actions,actions that update DB).So in AbstractOpenAction, the called URL is saved in session under a specific key(Open actions always use GET.So the saved URL can always recreate the request if you forward to it :-))) and when the user changes the language, we change the language in session and just forward to last action called.And as the last action called will be always be the OpenAction which created the last screen seen by user.So chance of a post being done again. Some users have pointed out that having such Reusable small actions lends itself to action chaining(e.g. To complete a user Preference save request, you will first call SaveUserPrefrrenceAction which will then forward to UserdetaislOpenAction,assuming you are showing user details after he saves them) And qwe had a long discussion on this forum about action chainning.

RE: [OT] Sending email from struts
Hi Matt, The first thought that comes through my mind is this: consider your email as a burden plain text message (/stream). Then, look for a text parser or similars. Most surely, you will be able to find something related to XML / XSLT technologies. Hope this gives you some ideas. Regards, Freddy. -Mensaje original- De: Matt Bathje [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: miércoles, 11 de febrero de 2004 17:03 Para: strutslist Asunto: [OT] Sending email from struts Hi all. This is kind of off topic as it is not really struts related, but somebody here would probably have the answer. We have our application sending emails to users at some points and it is working fine. The problem is that we have the email message hardcoded into the Java, which we would like to avoid either by storing the message in application.properties or our database. This would be easy, except all of the messages contain user-specific information like their name or phone number or order id or something like that. Anybody have any ideas (or links to programs!) that can read in an email, replace the information it needs to from the db, and send that to the user. I could obviously write something myself to do it, but wouldn't want to reinvent the wheel. Turns out this is hard to search for too - email is not a search term that makes things easy.

RE: dynamic parameters
Hi, I don't know about indexes, but I can think of a simple solution, Struts-independent (well, not 100%): have all values concatenated in a single hidden attribute that get's submitted, using different tokens for separating different values and for separating different records (by record I mean a set of values). Then it's just about parsing it (the value stored on the corresponding property) on the server side. I know It's not the most elegant solution, but it you are short of time, then it will surely do it.

RE: Back to the originating screen...
Hi, IMHO, this is a difficult problem to solve (100%, that is). Including the redo-URL on the language link is the most practical of those options, if you are able to generate redo-URLs that do not redo the last action itself but only recompose the current view (not that simple, I know). Remember to be careful with issues such as redo-ing posts that, for instance, involve persistency-related tasks. Say: saveNewProduct.

RE: Using the ActionForm in the JSP
Hi Rahul, I'm kind of a newbie, but I believe that: (1) Assuming that the scope you specified for that bean is request, it's intantiated when rendering the page (I suppose you mean a GET) and every time you do a POST.

RE: Struts and Pajes
Ok. I'll try to be more clear: - I don't want to use JSPs when working with Struts, neither the Taglibs. Instead, I want to be able to delegate the presentation on an external component. - In order to do that, I must be able to access the data to be presented (i.e. access the appropriate ActionForm) from that external component, in consistency with Struts handlign of scope and other concepts. - It seems like Struts would expect you to (finally surrender and) use JSP + JSP tags, although it does not formally obliges you to do so. I've been checking both the source code for the tag libs and the .java-s generated by them and I get this strong impression that there is happening a lot more behind the scenes that one would suppose (and Struts would recognize). This would not worry me if there were Java classes that, not being JSP-oriented, still allowed me to do everything (or even 50%) Struts' JSP-tags do. I dont say they don't exist. I just have not found them. - I don't see why you say I'm conflating those 2 issues (please, explain it to me :) ). I'm not introducing anything new inside the framework, nor am I changing its normal behaviour. I'm respecting the roles assigned to each component. I believe what I'm doing is - precisely - prevent (or, at least, make it more difficult to) the developer from mixing control and presentation (on a JSP); moreover, I'm allowing the TOTAL separation of HTML and Java by encapsulating the dynamic generation of the view in a Java object especially designed for that purpose (for good). Anyway, I'm absolutely open to any comments / opinnions you can provide in this regard. IMPORTANTE NOTICE: I don't want start a discussion here about how good or bad Struts is: - I don't have time for that, - I don't have yet the required level of knowledge and expertise (on Struts, that is) to make such judgement, - That's not the point for this posting. This said, I'll be really looking forward to anything anybody is willing to collaborate with. Thanx again!

I don't know how much you know, so let me stress that the web MVC pattern is really not the classic MVC pattern. Rather, our own beloved Ted Husted has nailed the real pattern, which is to keep the connections of each of the MVC to only one of the other three on each side (incoming and out going).

RE: Accessing ActionForm from Servlet (was: Pajes + Struts)
Thanx Joe, Andrew... you seem to have grasped the essence of my worries. Andrew: on your comment about Pajes (jejeje), yes. It's a nice simple framework I've been working with for about 2 years now. I confess I have not been interested to become a Guru at it or something like that, but that's mostly because the core objects (the DOM objects to dinamycally manipulate an HTML template) were simple and sufficient enough for achieving what I wanted. I recommend you to take a look at it. It's worth it. About XMLC, had never heard of it. I might give it a look (when I have time!). Anyway, let me comment on your posting, Joe (read below): These are initial steps towards making it easier to get an ActionForm instance for prepopulation on the way to the view. Be warned, this method does not use any of the logic for looking up an existing form bean in request or session scope under any name, either the forms name or the 'attribute' property of an ActionMapping, since as you can see, the method gets neither a request or an action mapping. Yes. I suppose you say this about the action mapping because it's possible that very same ActionForm is being used from more than one Action. Am I right? In any case, Struts takes care of handling for you the association between Action and ActionForm, including management of important aspects such as Scope. Regarding the scope issue, I don't think it would be a problem since, by the time the control is delegated (ActionForward-ed) to the external component: (1) The Action's job is finished (execute / perform) -- at least, for that request. (2) The Action is already associated to the appropriate ActionForm and will remain so until the response is sent back (or further, depending on the scope, right?). (3) It is not possible to have more than one ActionForm associated to an Action (at the same time), i.e. it's a 1:1 relationship (again, am I right?) That's why I thought: if I can recover that very same ActionForm object once accessible from the just-executed Action (the actionForm attribute), then voila! (I believe that very same object is the one accessed through the JSP-tags, isn't it?). However, I don't see how can the first issue affect me... if what I just stated is true, that is. Do you? I have been thinking about adding a method: RequestUtils.createActionForm(fbc, servlet, request, scopeString, attributeString) which would integrate that logic as well, but I was waiting to make sure that no one objected to what I did a few weeks ago. Actually, I would also prefer to use a different method name like 'findOrCreateActionForm' but I don't love that name, so I'm also waiting to come up with a method name that I like. A nice method to have would be something like: getCurrentActionForm(HttpServletRequest r, Action a) or getCurrentActionForm(HttpServletRequest r, Class actionClass) However, I don't know if I'm saying something stupid here, since I have the doubts I just stated above. Also, there has been a lot of effort to factor certain things out of RequestUtils, so maybe it's time to find a different home for these methods. FormUtils?

Hi /thorsten I don't know for sure. That's why I asked if I was right... :) Anyway: (1) How do you associate 2 ActionForms to the same Action (and have them automatically associated and populated by Struts)? (2) Assuming 1 is possible (I'd really appreciate if you could explain me how to acomplish that), what sense does it make to have 2 ActionForms variables if only one form can be submitted at a time anyways? (maybe I'm missing something else) (3) Despite 1 and 2, there must be a method to obtain the ActionForm(s) associated to an Action (during an specific request / post). Right?

Struts and Pajes
Hi to yall,
Im trying to integrate Pajes (www.apache.org), a Servlet Presentation Framework, with
Struts. The idea is to use Struts MVC separation (Action, ActionForms, ActionServlet,
etc) WITHOUT using Struts presentation tools (i.e. no JSP, ergo no JSP Tags), just
plain XHTML templates (in conjunction with the Pajes framework I just mentioned).
Im not interested in an XSLT-based solution (for now).
The problem Ive come across:
For connecting with Pajes, Ive thought about a Servlet (kind of a View Dispatcher)
that should be the entry point to all Pajes-related requests. Then, one would do
things like this:
package org.gn.samples.strutspajes.login;
public class MyFirstAction extends Action {
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping actionMapping) {
MyFirstActionForm theActionForm = (LoginActionForm) actionForm;
if () {
return actionMapping.findForward(/some_other_typically_mapped_page);
} else {
ActionForward af = new
PajeViewActionForwardFactory.generate(fully.qualified.view.generator.pajes.classname,
theTemplateFilename.html, request);
return af;
}
}
}
where the generated ActionForward object points to the aforementioned Servlet,
including on that URL the corresponding parameters. Examples:
/PajeDispatcher?template=Login.htmlfactory=org.gn.samples.strutspajes.login.LoginPageView
(in case this is the default web application)
/webappname/PajeDispatcher?template=ProductCatalog.htmlfactory=org.gn.samples.strutspajes.login.NavigateProductCatalogPageView
(in case this is not the default web application and the name is webappname)
This solves the problem of delegating from Struts to Pajes.
HOWEVER, I have not solved yet the data access method part. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO
RECOVER THE APPROPRIATE ActionForm object FROM THAT Servlet (actually, in a factory
class, but I dont want to bother you with all the details) so that the
view-generating class can paint, WITHOUT REPLICATING THE ActionForm Management
(especially, the scopes management) ALREADY PERFORMED BY Struts. HOW CAN I DO THAT???
(1) Is there some method (+ class) that, given an Action class (/classname),
returns the ActionForm object its currently associated to? (if any)
(2) Whats the minimal information that one needs to retrieve an Actions
corresponding ActionForm object?
(3) How can I do it from an ordinary Servlet?
Note that Im trying to avoid passing it through the Session. My initial idea was to
take advantage of the classes behind the tag libs that do this, but from what Ive
seen so far (I mean, its source code), that is not possible (the code is too tied to a
JSP environment).
This is my first effort. Therefore, Im not worried about being able to do
EVERYTHING that can be done through the tag libs. For now, the only thing I look
forward is to be able to recover the appropriate ActionForm object associated to that
Action from where redirection took place (ActionForward, that is).
Id really appreciate any thoughts on this matter.
Thanx,
Freddy.

RE: Accessing ActionForm from Servlet (was: Pajes + Struts)
Hi Hubert, thanx for answering! Read below. Not sure this would be possible. The actual ActionForm in use depends on the session, and sometimes even the particular request. I doubt there's a way to get to the form object actually in use by just specifying the action class. If it's the *class* of the ActionForm you want, check out the ActionMapping object for a particular mapping. The doGet method receives the request and response objects. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the request object is client-specific, and so are the ActionForm objects, as you clearly mentioned above. Therefore, no matter which client originated the request, through it you'd be able to access any attribute stored on that specific request or even on the Session associated to it. Being Struts already in charge of managing the life-cycle of the ActionForm-s, I believe there shouldn't be a problem in trying to access the ActionForm for a given Action (/client) from a separate Servlet, since the latter won't be able to reach anything the former does not want it to. This was actually the initial reasoning that led me to the tesis that it should be absolutely feasible to accomplish this integration. Do u agree? This said, my question remains: is there some Struts' class that encapsulates the scope issue (and others as well) and, given a form bean's name (and maybe the request / Session / something else...), returns it (if exists)??? I sneaked through the tag libs classes (the source code) and saw something more or less similar to what I'm looking for; the problem was that it did additional stuff I don't want to get executed, plus it was tied to JSP (it used pageContext and other stuff)... (3) How can I do it from an ordinary Servlet? request.getAttribute(formName); or session.getAttribute(formName); depending on the scope of the form as declared in struts-config. Would that be the formName as declared in struts-config? --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
