duplicate form object

2004-02-05 Thread rob rowntree
im new, i have 2 subscriptionForm objects instead of a single OID.

The trace below involves these activities:

1. subscription.jsp is submitted and handled by subscriptionForm whose
configuration includes:
  name=subscriptionForm
  scope=session

2. a forward occurs on name success and the config codes for the action
actionpath=/saveSubscription
to forward to  path=/Welcome.do/

3. the forward action for  path=/Welcome has attribute
   name=subscriptionForm  and attribute
   parameter=/Welcome.jsp

 The Problem -

There should only be 1 subscription object but there are 2 different ones :

  - one at step 1
  - another one at step 3

Why the duplication?

In step 3, in Welcome.jsp, when i say:

pHavObj:
%=subscription.toString()%

why don't i reference the same Form object created in the subscription.jsp
at step 1?

RE: NoClassDefFoundError in custom validator

2003-11-16 Thread Rob van Oostrum
Ok I figured out a way to make it all work ...

The solution ended up being to put all the commons jar files in the root of
the ear, and add them to application.xml as java modules. Looks like it was
indeed a classloader issue then ... which would lead me to think that this
is a bug. No reason why Struts shouldn't be able to do all of the
reflection, especially since this is hardly pushing the envelope. Any
thoughts?

I JUST made it work though with a simple update of the commons source code.
I guess I could look into submitting my update if they / anyone is

 public static String getValueAsString(Object bean, String property) {

to:

 public static String getValueAsString(Object bean, String property) {
 Object value = null;
 try {

 } catch (Exception e) {
log.error(e.getMessage(), e);
 }
		//Special case, check if String[]
   try
   {
  String[] valueArray = (String[])value;

		   {
		   		value = null;

   }
   catch(ClassCastException cce)
   {
			//Then it wasn't a String[]
   }	
 return (value != null ? value.toString() : null);	
  }

I guess, just to be safe the second catch could catch Exception.

Anyway, it fixed my validation problem for String[] and doesn't appear to
have broken and validations which worked before.

AFAIK, the standard required validator doesn't work with arrays. Or, if it
does, I wasted time writing a custom validator ;-). I'd be intersted to hear
if
anyone really has used the required validator successfully for an array
field.
I suppose I should check to see if there's a bug/RFE for an array validator
and
submit it...
Quoting Bailey, Shane C. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 

I sort of already sent this message to the list but I made a mistake
(didn't
proof read my message) so here it is again but corrected ...
Validator required validation is NOT working for my String[] (in a
dynaform.  I have seen others on the list say it works for them.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem? Possibly it is because I am
using
a multi-select?
Basically, if nothing is selected then instead of null be sent back for
that
parameter I am getting a zero length String[]and it's toString() value is
[Ljava.lang.String;@3cfaab which is important because of the way the
validateRequired() method works...
I looked at the source code (of my commons-validator.jar using jad).
Maybe I am using an older version of the commons-validator jar and this
   

was
 

fixed or I am doing something else wrong?

If so, where is the latest commons-validator.jar?

Here is how my field is declared on the JSP:

html:select property=roles multiple=true size=7
 html:options collection=%=my.Const.ROLE_TYPES% 
	property=roleName/
/html:select



Here is how it is declared in the struts config:

form-property name=roles type=java.lang.String[]/

   


 

Struts source Code:

   public static boolean validateRequired(Object bean,
  ValidatorAction va, Field
   

field,
 

  ActionErrors errors,
  HttpServletRequest request) { 

   String value = null;

   if (isString(bean)) {

   value = (String) bean;

   } else {

   value = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,
field.getProperty());
   }

   if (GenericValidator.isBlankOrNull(value)) {

   errors.add(field.getKey(),

   Resources.getActionError(request, va, field));

   return false;

   } else {

   return true;

   }



   }





Problem:

ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean, field.getProperty()) does a
   

toString()
 

on the value and a toString() on a String[] 
which isn't null it is some String like [Ljava.lang.String;@3cfaab  and
so
then isBlankOrNull() is checking for null OR value.trim().length==0 and so
neither is true and so validation passes.

ValidatorUtil.getActionError(servletContext,

before the return statement. 

Try it.  I spent a lot of time before on this too.

If you are talking about presenting the server side validation errors
on the client I believe you could do it on the

If you want the client side validation performed by Javascript
to display errors then look at the struts-validator
example.

The generated Javascript groups tests by type (required, mask, min length
etc) and calls them as follows:
 function validateRegistrationForm(form) {
  if (bCancel)
 return true;
   else
 return validateRequired(form) 
validateMask(form) 
validateMinLength(form) 
validateMaxLength(form) 
validateEmail(form);
 }
Due to the way the  expression is evaluated, if any test returns true
   

the
 

subsequent tests are not executed.

If you had several missing required fields then those errors would be
grouped together. But if you had only one missing required field and
   

another
 

type of error, you would not see the second error message until you
   

correct
 

the missing field error.

See the struts-validator sample application (shipped with Struts) for
examples.

In Struts 1.1, is there a way to use one's own implementation/extension of

this could be done in any of the config *.xml files.
If this is not configurable then an option that was suggested to me was to

Subject: Using an extension of ModuleConfigImpl

Hi, all.

In Struts 1.1, is there a way to use one's own implementation/extension of
ModuleConfig and/or ModuleConfigFactory? I couldn't find any info on how
this could be done in any of the config *.xml files.
If this is not configurable then an option that was suggested to me was to
invoke ModuleConfigFactory.setFactoryClass() and set that to my own factory
class which will create my extension of ModuleConfigImpl. If I wanted to do
this then where/when should I set the factory class?

The situation I find myself in is I have a large project, which was heavily
refactored (unfortunately w/o adequate struts tests), and I need to debug
the struts-config.
This may help you, though I haven't used it:

A quote from http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/dev_validator.html

The new validwhen validation rule, which will be included into the Struts
release immediately after the 1.1 release, is designed to handle these
cases.
Does this mean validwhen is or is not supported in 1.1?  I can interpret
that statement either way.
Nightly build only. Just because it is in the CVS  HEAD doesn't mean it will
be in the 1.2 release.

I do use extensions of ActionConfig  ForwardConfig.

What I've done is implement a layer of extensions of Struts classes, in
which I've added custom fields and methods that I need. I'd like to do the
same for ModuleConfig. Is that even possible without tinkering with the
Struts code?
No, but I am really glad you brought it up !
When I renamed all the application config stuff to ModuleConfig and made it
an interface last November it was in response to the stated desire to 
provide
hierarchical modules, or module inheritance. At first I hard coded the 
implementation,
then later on a factory was provided. Since there was no immediate need 
the functionality
you need was never implemented.

As Mike says it should be configurable from the
struts-config.xml file. I'll may get time to look at in the next week or 
so.If in the meantime you would
like to suggest a patch that would greatly appreciated, but not required.

Re: difficult problem, preventing population

Hi, I am fully aware of Struts transaction token implementation.  My

not the token could be examined for validity prior to the population of 
the form bean.

Instead of telling me to read the documentation, why don't you try and

I have the following scenario occuring.

I have a form with several fields on it (the fields are sourced to a
collection in an ActionForm).
I have a button that allows the removal of fields from the form (items
from the collection).
If a user removes a field from the form and then double submits/clicks
back and reloads then an
exception is thrown from BeanUtils.populate() because it attempts to
take details from the (now
removed field) and populate it into the object that is stored in the
position it was located in the
collection. Obviously since the collection is now smaller this results
in an
IndexOutOfBoundsException.
Is there any way to examine the transaction token from the form prior to
the form bean being
populated and then avoid population of the form bean if the token is not
valid?
Help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

The current commons-validator has a java class for validating a URL that 
I added,
it is pretty extensive. I still need to write the equalivent Javascript. 
Look at the unit
tests for how to use the class. Alternatively you can go to 
javascript.com to find
a standalone version for javascript. Usually when we create the 
Javascript version
it mirrors the java version so the two give the same results.

The JavaDoc on the web site is really old so look at the source:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-commons/validator/src/share/org/apache/commons/validator/UrlValidator.java
The Unit tests:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-commons/validator/src/test/org/apache/commons/validator/UrlTest.java
Download the nightly which has all the below plus updated javadocs
http://cvs.apache.org/builds/jakarta-commons/nightly/commons-validator/
Since method signatures have changed in commons-validator,
the easiest way to get this though is to download a *nightly* version of 
struts:(**recommended**)

You could definitely do that, too. If you just create a new Url(yourstringhere) it will raise that exception if it's malformed, 

I would encourage you to look at the implementation of URL. It does
only a small amount of validation on the format, but that may be enough,
for your case.
-Rob


so it won't waste time creating a connection to a malformed url. I guess that's probably a better solution than the regex one, too, because it's simpler.

Sorry for the newbie questions, but...

[ Why html:xxx tags? ]

On the .jsp page, why is it necessary to replace the standard html

form). In other words, what special features of Struts requires 
these specially defined tags? 
The html: tags allow struts to automatically transfer information 
between the
ActionForm and the html page. They are also module aware so a html:form 
tag knows which
application module it belongs to.

If you search in the mail-archives

there will be more detailed information.
Also this should be covered in the on-line developers guide.

Re: adding / creating new collection elements in a form

2003-06-08 Thread Rob
Hi Dan,

This seems to be the most promising solution as of yet.  I am
however a little unclear as to how this avoids the need for
a request for each row added.
If I understand what your describing the LookupDispatchAction
extension is for handling forms with multiple buttons.  As you
describe one of the operations of this action is to add a new
element to the collection from which I am populating the form
fields.
My confusion is that I don't see how a request is avoided for
every new row added.  I would like to add multiple rows to my
html form on the client side w/ javascript (making no request
to the server) and then allow the user to populate and when
submitted all new rows result in new instances of whatever
kind of object being added to the collection.
I can provide a more detailed explanation if it helps, I'm not
entirely sure I can do what I want to do with struts at this
point.
Rob

Dan Tran wrote:
I just implemented myself, so let me throw a shot at this.

In my case, I make my action derived from LookupDispatchAction
which can handle multiple button submission handlers.
One of the button is called something like addRow. When you hit this
addRow button, struts will repopolate what ever on your screen and dispatch
it
to your addRow handler where you can add new empty row to your collection
and forward back to your screen.
regarding your out of index problem, I would suggest to use common
Collection
ListUtils.lazyList.  Here is an example a lazy collection in a my form
private List gradeViews =  ListUtils.lazyList(new ArrayList(), new
GenericFactory(org.glvnsjc.view.StudentGradeView));
//there is no direct setXXX, call getXXX first and populate the object
// lazy list takes care all dynamic allocation
public StudentGradeView getGradeView(int index) {return
(StudentGradeView) gradeViews.get(index); }
public void removeAllGradeView() { this.gradeViews.clear(); }
public List getGradeViews() { return this.gradeViews;}
Please look up GenericFactory in the maling list, I dont want to repost it

If you dont know LookupDispatchAction yet, learn it.  It has the magic that
I cant live without
Good luck!!!

3) Using the old source code take a section and do a global search

So, my question is, what exactly are we waiting for for the Struts 1.1

production applications is out of the question though.
I know this is a little harsh, but I have lost count of how long we've
been waiting.  At least 7 Struts books have been released since Struts 1.1
beta was released. (it's funny that all of them say that 1.1 will be out
once the book is in print. :)  Other web frameworks have gone from nothing
to having released software during the beta of 1.1.  I want quality
software as much as the next guy, but was Struts 1.0 so poorly designed 
that it takes so long to come out with the next MINOR version?

OK, flame away, but I hope we can get someone tell us exactly what we need 
to do to stop the hold up and get 1.1 released.  Please let us know.

I'll qualify this by saying I have not been in the release loop but here 
are my 2 cents.

Martin has been working very hard on several packages in 
Jakarta-Commons. I believe at this point that
commons-fileupload will go to a 1.0 final with known unsupported 
containers, such as zOs.
Then struts 1.1 will go out. So for short term what you and other could 
contribute is mapping
any know shortcomings in the nightly build by:

0) Contribute your time and experience doing:

1) Testing is always welcome under different containers.
   Make a entry under the Wiki to note what functionality was
   tested and under what container. There isn't currently a section for 
that
   but you could organize one. These results would eventually go into the
   official struts documentation.

To facilitate Struts 1.2 to come out faster:
2) Use Bugzilla to find all open tickets, marked 'later'.
Browse through them and see if improvements in the code
that is suggested would benefit your project. If so then develop a 
patch
that implements the fix and attach that to bugzilla.
3) Improvements to docs are always welcome as are diagrams, UML, etc...

bean:write / HashMap

2003-04-04 Thread Rob King
Hi,
I have checked struts documentation, including the index properties page,
and cannot find the answer to this.
I simply want to output some values stored in a hashmap without using
scriptlets - ideally with the bean:write tag.

Instead of doing this:
%=myHash.get(NAME)%

I would like to do something like this, but it doesn't work:
bean:write name=myHash property=[NAME]/

( but hopefully it serves to demonstrate what I'm trying to do )

I also tried this, but I'm just clutching at straws now:
bean:write name=myHash[NAME]/


Using bean:write would be nice becuase it html encodes stuff without me
needing to do anything.
Using a bean instead of the HashMap would be a nice solution, but time
constraints mean that the HashMaps need to stay for now...

And, I thought I was about to find an answer here, but alas no:
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/faqs/indexedprops.html

Apologies if I missed an obvious piece of documentation

thanks,
rob.

Re: URL Validation with Struts validator

2003-03-05 Thread Rob Leland
I started coding a URL client/server side validation 2 weeks ago,
that I hope to contribute to the Validation framework.
I put it on hold while getting other work finished before going on vacation.
I modeled it on the email validation items, and used the w3.org definition
of  A URI to write the validation code. If all elements are there my code
can tell if it is a valid URL, however I can't figure out when testing
for a URL regular expression pattern how to make some items optional,
it may not be possible, any Perl/PHP people out there ?
The Unit tests I created are extensive and test all possible 
combinations, but
take almost a 2 minutes to complete :( !

I have just come back from vacation and hope to have it finished by next 
week.
If you want a quick and dirty method then go to javascript.com and look 
for some
of their URL validations items, turning them into Java is easy to achieve
using the ORO package.

RE: Any good suggestions on implementing Security

On the free side of things, I believe you could use a JNDI Realm in Tomcat
for this purpose.  You would need to roll your own SOAPInitialContextFactory
and use that in the configuration of the JNDI Realm.  Weblogic has an
implementation of a SOAPInitialContextFactory:
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs61/javadocs/weblogic/soap/http/SoapInitialConte

 Depending on the container, your groups and group memberships can be
 dynamically mapped to roles, with declarative specification of what
 resources can be accessed.

 Is this the case with tomcat? I did not think so.


It is. The element (in web.xml) includes a section
that maps URL patterns to the role(s) that a user must have in order to
access that URL. This is all in the servlet spec, and portable across
containers. The only part that's not portable across containers is how
you actually set up the users and roles database (in Tomcat terms, that is
a matter of which Realm implementation you use).

 Our needs our very similar.
 The users with a admin page that allows them to change access to pages.


For Tomcat specifically, this can be done easily if you use a JDBCRealm to
get user and role information from a database. Then, writing an admin
program to manage users is just like any other database maintenance
application -- just make it update the same tables that JDBCRealm is using
to authenticate and authorize users.

Struts also has some built-in support for checking roles dynamically
during execution:

* You can use a roles attribute on an to limit which
users can execute that Action.

* You can use to conditionally display
parts of your UI to only people that have the role you specify.

+1 on the ServletFilter approach.

Even better if you can get container managed security to meet your needs.
Depending on the container, your groups and group memberships can be
dynamically mapped to roles, with declarative specification of what
resources can be accessed.  This approach is optimal because the security
context can be shared down to the EJB tier (and even to EIS, depending on
your system) for tighter top-to-bottom security.

This didn't meet our needs, so we went a step further with a ServletFilter.
This is nice because it puts all of your security in one place rather than
sprinkled across a variety of Actions, ActionMappings, etc.  If you have
access to a servlet 2.3 container, use this as your second option.

Programmatic security built into your Struts-related code should be a last
resort, and I can't even think of an occasion where it would be justified
(unless the other two options aren't available, in which case I'd suggest
you put effort into an upgrade instead).

Well the best approach I can think of is to keep it separate from the MVC

You could use a FilterServlet to handle security , which then forwards the

 a dynamic list of allowable action_mappings?

 Is there an area I can look that suggests how to implement this type of

I didn't have anything to follow, but it sounds like declarative security
via Tomcat can meet your needs.

In my implementation, users belong to groups (roles), and groups are
authorized for resources matching certain patterns.  We store a list of
resources a user is authorized for in their session (there is also a list of
globally accessible resources), check the attempted URL against the user's
list, and process or deny the user's request based on that.

I don't know that it's the best implementation, and overall, I'd say to
stick with container managed security.  Our need to go beyond CMS was caused
by a requirement to run different sites with different user groups from
within the same web-app.  We were concerned about the security implications
of a user being authenticated with certain privileges being able to access
sensitive data on another site.

 Sorry for the simple questions.

 It is a new area for us.

Not a problem - web apps seem to be getting more complex yet powerful by the
day

RE: LookupDispatchAction

2003-02-12 Thread Rob Kischuk
The keys in your KeyMethodMap should correspond to messages in your message
bundle used to render the button.  So you would have in your jsp:
html:submit
  bean:message key=button.add.banana/
/html:submit

in your action:

 protected Map getKeyMethodMap(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request) {
  Map map = new HashMap();
  map.put(button.add.banana, addBanana);
  map.put(button.delete.banana, deleteBanana);   
  return map;
}

And in your message-resources file:
button.add.banana=Add Banana
button.delete.banana=Delete Banana

If you don't need the message resources (for i18n or something), you might
want to use DispatchAction instead.

Subject: LookupDispatchAction


Does anybody know why the following is casuing me so many problems.
I'm using LookupDispatchAction and have a number of methods defined
in my action class including an execute method.  The problem is that
the execute method ALWAYS gets executed and not the intended method.

I have in the addbanana.jsp:
html:submit value=Add Banana property=action/

and in Struts-config:
  action path=/addbanana
type=com.example.AddBananaAction
name=BananaForm
input=/addbanana.jsp
scope=session
parameter=action 
  
   /action

In my action class I've defined the following:

public ActionForward addBanana(ActionMapping mapping, 
  ActionForm form, 
  HttpServletRequest request, 
HttpServletResponse response) throws
IOException, ServletException {
 

  return (mapping.findForward(success));
 }

public ActionForward deleteBanana(ActionMapping mapping, 
  ActionForm form, 
  HttpServletRequest request, 
HttpServletResponse response) throws
IOException, ServletException {
 

  return (mapping.findForward(success));
 }
 
/**
 * Get key method map just obtains the map that maps the button
 * text onto the particular method in this action
 * @param mapping is the action mapping
 * @param form is the action form 
 * @param request is the http request
 */ 
protected Map getKeyMethodMap() {
   
   
  Map map = new HashMap();
  map.put(Add Banana, addBanana);
  map.put(Delete Banana, deleteBanana);   
  return map;
 }



  /**
 * Execute method
 * @param mapping is the information regardin gthe URI mapping and the
action
 * @param form is the action form used
 * @param request is the request
 * @param response is the response
 * @return the action forward, a destination to forward the user onto (eg
another JSP)
 */
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws
IOException, ServletException {

  
  Logger.logInfo(Execute Called);   
  
  
  
//We can now put these bits in the database
return (mapping.findForward(success)
}


Does anybody know why EXECUTE is called but the intended ADDBANANA method is
not
called?

Many thanks,
Jon.

Re: Design Questio

Justin F. Knotzke wrote:


Hi,

   I am sure this is a basic question.

   Take a situation in where we have 2 JSPs, 2 ActionForms, and 2
ActioForward classes:

   a.jsp
   b.jsp

   ActionFormA.class
   ActionFormB.class

   ActionForwardA.class
   ActionForwardB.class

   a.jsp has form who's action parameter calls ActionForwardA.class
with ActionFormA.class as it's form object.

   ActionForwardA.class does some happy-happy stuff and then calls
b.jsp.

	Correct me if I am wrong but b.jsp will be called using
ActionFormA.class's data. Keeping in mind that ActionForwardA.class
requires data from ActionFormA.class, what do I do if I want b.jsp to be
mapped to ActionFormB.class?   
 

The pattern that the struts example uses is

 EditAAction SaveAAction --EditBAction   SaveBAction
 \   
/  \/
   \   
/  \ /
\/
/ \/ /
(AActionForm)  + A.jsp (BActionForm)+B.jsp

To keep your code maintainable after SaveAAction is 'happy'
It looks up the 'success' or 'happy' mapping in your struts-config.xml
That maps to EditBAction which takes care of filling in the data for
BActionForm, and then forwards to b.jsp.

All this is covered in Ted Husted's 'A Walking tour of the struts example'.
in the resources section of the Struts web site, it is also included in the
'struts-documentation' web application in the binary struts download.
Taking the time to look at that explaination of the 'example' included 
with struts,
look at the code and trace through the program flow, and after some digging
you'll get an AH or two that will be worth it.

-Rob

P.S. As always there are other articles out there on the Jakarta web 
site/ or Javaworld,
sites to name a few. You can also pickup one of the very good struts books
that have come out.

RE: how to access a specific object inside a List efficiently

2003-02-05 Thread Rob Kischuk
The problem you're hitting is that there's really no concept of a key in a
List - it's just an ordered collection of objects.  The closest you'd find
is the contains( Object o) method, but that looks for the entire object and
not just a key.  I would suggest using a HashMap for what you're looking
for.

As for the break on logic:iterate, I think the closest way to approximate
this is by setting up a flag for the loop such that you can do this:

set up loop flag
logic:iterate
  logic:equals name=loopFlag value=true
(do important stuff)
  /logic:equals
   set loopFlag to false when criteria are met
/logic:iterate

This won't save the loop iterations, but will keep extra content from being
written after you meet the criteria.  If possible, however, you may want to
trim your data set in the Action before you ever get to the jsp.

Subject: how to acccess a specific object inside a List efficiently


I have trouble to access a specific object inside a List based on a key. 
Before the first page, I load all the objects(meetings) into a list and only

show the name of the meeting to the user. By following the link (with id as 
parameter), user goes to the next page. Based on the id, I want to show the 
detail of the object (meeting). For my current implementation, I have to 
iterate through every single object in the list and try to match the key. It

works, but pretty stupid. Is there a better way to do it? Or should I use 
Hashmap (keyed by id) at the very beginning instead?

Also, to use logic:iterate, is there something like a break?

Thanks!
ds

First page:
  logic:iterate id=m name=meetings
  li
html:link
  forward=showMeeting
  paramId=id
  paramProperty=id
  paramName=m
  bean:write name=m property=name/nbsp;
/html:link
 /li
  /logic:iterate
It will build:
http://myproject/showMeeting?id=1

Second Page:
logic:iterate id=row name=meetings
logic:equal name=row property=id value=%=request.getParameter   
(id)%
  tr
TH align=right width=50%Meeting Name:/TH
TD align=leftbean:write name=row property=name//TD
  /tr
  ...
/logic:equal
/logic:iterate

RE: [Tiles] loses current url

In the header file, try request.getRequestURL() - it should give you the

the request parameters are the same for any included tiles.

Is there anyway for a tiles component to detect the URL that was used to
call up the page in the first place?

For example,

http://myhost/mypage1.jsp
http://myhost/mypage2.jsp

may both contain a tiles:insert tag that points to /myheader.jsp

is there anyway for the header file to detect which of the two url's were
called by the user?  Without adding code in mypage1  mypage2 to save the
url in the session/request/page/application scope.  And without adding
request parameters to the tiles:insert tag.

Is this possible with Struts 1.1b3?

In fairness, I don't think it's clear from the documentation.

However, a google search yields:

Also in fairness, searching the list is not an easy task - searching through

RE: How to access a valueObject inside a Map?

2003-02-05 Thread Rob Kischuk
I think a shift in how you approach your JSPs and Actions will get you the
most mileage here.  It seems that by storing this map in session, you're
trying to get around ever creating any additional references to it.  What
I'd suggest is that you handle this in your Action.

In your action, fetch the object from the map using the key, then store that
valueObject in the request.  The page can then access the object using the
request-scoped bean.  I think you're trying to do too much through the
session/page combination, and not enough in your Action.

RE: [Tiles] loses current url

2003-02-05 Thread Rob Kischuk
I think to solve your problem, you're going to need to define the problem in
broader terms.  A redirect is much like a forward, except the client doesn't
know about it.  Once the Action has executed and mapped to a page, a
redirect is executed (unless you specify a forward).  Either way, what this
means is that after Struts finds the URL to access after it processes your
action, the request is against that JSP, and the previous request URL is
gone from the HTTP headers.

What's the overall problem you're trying to solve?  That may be a better
approach, because given the parameters of the current problem, you're walled
in with nowhere to go.  It sounds like perhaps you're trying to solve some
sort of navigation or form population problem?

in the tiles-defs.xml file. and

action path=/Layout forward=Layout/

in the struts-config file

When I access the url http://myhost/Layout.do the request.getRequestURL()
call from both the layout.jsp and the header.jsp files return
http://myhost/layout.jsp; and not http://myhost/Layout.do;

Is this by design? is there anyway to get the correct original url from

In the header file, try request.getRequestURL() - it should give you the
page that was called.  Tiles effectively does a jsp:insert, which means that
the request parameters are the same for any included tiles.

Subject: [Tiles] loses current url


Is there anyway for a tiles component to detect the URL that was used to
call up the page in the first place?

For example,

http://myhost/mypage1.jsp
http://myhost/mypage2.jsp

may both contain a tiles:insert tag that points to /myheader.jsp

is there anyway for the header file to detect which of the two url's were
called by the user?  Without adding code in mypage1  mypage2 to save the
url in the session/request/page/application scope.  And without adding
request parameters to the tiles:insert tag.

Is this possible with Struts 1.1b3?

Thanks,
Kevin

(newbie) Problem getting request level bean data in jsps

2003-01-28 Thread Scot Rob
Hi,

I am setting some data in DynaActionForm
userRegisterForm in my Action registerUser and it
forwards request to a jsp page through another Action
showRegisterForm (which is a ForwardAction).

Now, i am trying to get data in the jsp page using
html:text property=name name=userRegisterForm/
but it does not get any data. I also tried bean:write
property=name name=userRegisterForm/ but this
doesn't return any data as well.

I wanted to avoid making userRegisterForm bean's
scope session level.

I 'd appreciate if someone can point out my mistake or
the right way to do it?

Many thanks

We are currently developing Struts apps and incorporating Scaffold code

Firstly, I was wondering if anyone else out there is using Scaffold code
and what comments they have on their success or otherwise with it?

Secondly, with the latest release of Struts (1.1b3), Scaffold code has been
packaged into the contrib section.  However the commons-scaffold components
are not there. 

It was decided about 2 weeks ago that the struts 1.1 release would only 
contain commons libs needed to
build the main distribution and provided examples. However there has 
been some
talk about providing a seperate download to package items needed to build
the contrib items, and a build of the contrib itself.

They are in jakarta-commons-sandbox but only the source in
the CVS repository.  Should commons-scaffold be somewhere in
jakarta-commons now that scaffolds is being packaged with Struts 1.1b3 and
should there be a built version of this code somewhere?

If you are just starting to learning Struts,  I would --Highly--

If you aren't using the new items (modules, validator, tiles, nested

whatever documentation/articles you may have read on Struts 1.0 should

There is a know problem when the default LOCALE of the server

The bug is in the commons-validator code.

If the field MUST be filled in then in your validator.xml
you need to add `required' so for an integer field

Infact, the same happens when populating all the fields is this

If the fields are blank and you hit submit then yes,

Agreed,
For Generic type of validation the ActionForm is an appropiate
place to do validation. To restate what David said, the ActionForm
is designed to be passive, and have values info it needs passed
to it. It should definately not make method calls to other Business Logic.

To add to that,Any complex validation would take place in the Business

Peterkofsky, Don wrote:

I'm not sure of the background on this thread, but there may be some
misunderstanding with this.

I looked at the canned rule sets, and was confused by the use of the
depends attribute in the rules file, which appears to be the same as the
depends attribute in the validation file.  However, my experiments showed
that the required dependency in the rules file doesn't have the
effect/behavior that you would assume, like the attribute in the validation
file.  The required dependency in the rule set did not appear to evaluate
the required rule; in other words, when a rule is used in the validation
file, and the rule definition has the required dependency, it does not
seem to embed the required rule in the evaluation.  

For example, I could use the maxlength rule, and leave the form field
empty, and no validation error would result.  My interpretation of this is
that the required dependency in the rules file has a different meaning
than in the validation file, or perhaps is not used. If anyone has a better
understanding or contradictory experience I'd be interested to hear and
understand.

Thanks for your experimentation, I had suspected something like this. In 
July patches were applied to the Validator that changes its behavior. 
Specifically it no longer ignored blank fields. I was waiting till this 
weekend when I get a solid block of time, so I could analyze the intent 
and purpose of these rules.

I believe James Turner asked a similar question back in July and Dave 
replied that 'depends' determines if the field is evaluated 
individually, or all together with the form as a whole. Like I said I 
will take a better look at it this weekend.
I am still new at using the Validator so right now what I say needs to 
be 'taken with a grain of salt', evaluated by considering my experience.

Looking a little further at the CVS logs a patch to the validator-rules.xml

This is done in about 8 places in the file.

This could be causing the difference in behaviour, try reverting

Let me us know if the behaviour returns to what it was before.

the link is followed only the parameter specified in the global
forward (action=choose) is copied to the bean and (selected=N) is not.

Surely it's a subtle error somewhere but can anyone suggest what
exactly?  I've successfully done this in other applications and this
is the first time it's not worked.

Thanks

Rob

I have a little something like the following to write my link.

html:form action=foo
nested:iterate parameter=items

 nested:link forward=viewitem paramId=selected
 paramName=ItemForm paramProperty=itemId Item
 nested:write property=itemId/
 /nested:link

/nested:iterate
/html:form

My form-bean looks like so:
form-bean name=ItemForm type=web.ItemForm/

My global-forward looks like so:
forward name=viewitem path=/do/viewitem?action=choose/

My action mapping looks like so:
action path=/viewitem
 type=web.ItemAction
 name=ItemForm
 input=/WEB-INF/pages/chooseitem.jsp
 validate=true
 scope=session

/action

struts 1.0.2 logging - destination fd

2002-09-11 Thread rob

I've taken a quick look through the archives and haven't found
what I was looking for but;

Where does jakarta-struts log to by default?  I've checked my
container logs (tomcat 3.2.4) but I can't think of where else
the output from the logging would be going.  I'm using
debug/verbosity level 2 in web.xml.

My apologies for the simple question, perhaps it's simplicity
indicates that it should be on one of the various FAQ's.

Thanks

Rob

Re: No action instance for path /action could not be created. (solved)

2002-09-11 Thread rob

The reason it was biting me was because the struts.jar was in the
CLASSPATH of the user who was starting the servlet container.

Better explanation here.  So not obvious.

 I'm getting that common error Error 500 No action instance for path
 /login could be created.  The difficulty I'm having is that the
 application was and is running perfectly fine on a tomcat 4.x
 servlet container.  The error I'm observing are occuring under a
 tomcat 3.x servlet container.
 
 I'm kind of desperate here, solutions would be good.
 
 Thanks

Re: Another question

2002-09-11 Thread rob

If you keep your pages above WEB-INF/ it's necessary infact.  I have
one page ctxtroot/index.jsp that does nothing but forward the request
to ctxtroot/WEB-INF/pages/login.jsp.

Re: Dynamic number of form fields

2002-09-11 Thread rob

There was a good tutorial on this possibly linked from the struts page
titled Monkey Struts.  I found it to be quite good, very easy to
follow.

David Graham wrote:
 I want to have a form with a variable number of input boxes.  For 
 example, a simple edit person form that has a first name and last name 
 input box for each person in your db.  So the first set would be named 
 firstName_12 lastName_12, the second set might be firstName_45623 and 
 lastName_45623.  The number after the underscore is the personID from 
 the db table.  When the form is submitted you loop over these fields and 
 update the appropriate row in the database from the _ID info.
 
 I've read through the docs on DynaBeans and that seems like the way to 
 go but I'm still not sure how to go about this. When populating the 
 DynaFormBean, does struts just go through the request params and assign 
 them to new form properties?  How would you validate this type of form?
 
 Advice and links to info are appreciated.
 
 Thanks,
 Dave

Re: Directories and Files structure for sub applications

2002-07-29 Thread Rob Leland

   Does anyone have a best practices suggestion for how to organize the
  directory and files structure
   for a Struts application composed of  sub applications?

I don't know if there is a best practices yet.
Here is what I have done.

Our source tree looks much like the struts source tree

src/
java/
test/

web/
portal/
module/
catalog/  - application module (sub-app)
 src/
java/
test/
 web/
portal/
catalog/
WEB-INF/
   struts-catalog.xml
   tld/
  catalog.tld


So the modules tends to be grouped together.

What we really need though is a generic build-module.xml
I started to modify the struts build-webapp.xml a few
months ago, but never had time to finish it.

   Where the different strus-config files, application resources files,
 common JSP views have to be placed ?
   Thanks a lot.
