Re: Freemarker (old version that struts2 uses) disappearing pages
I use Maven, and if you look at struts 2.0.11.1's dependencies (http://www.mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.struts/struts2-core/2.0.11.1) you'll see that it's Freemarker version 2.3.8 it depends on. I can't override this in Maven, even if I attempt to exclude it and force the latest version of Freemarker: dependency groupIdorg.apache.struts/groupId artifactIdstruts2-core/artifactId version2.0.11/version exclusions exclusion groupIdorg.freemarker/groupId artifactIdfreemarker/artifactId /exclusion /exclusions /dependency dependency groupIdorg.freemarker/groupId artifactIdfreemarker/artifactId version2.3.12/version /dependency Cheers Jonny Jeromy Evans - Blue Sky Minds wrote: Jonny Cavell wrote: I have a problem that seems to occur periodically.

No, other than a classpath/deployment problem. I would like to upgrade to the latest version of Freemarker. However, Struts2 in its wisdom has locked me down to version 2.3.8, and this was released way back in 2006. Are there any plans to resolve this issue? The 2.1.1 version of Struts uses FreeMarker 2.3.11 You may be able to replace the 2.3.8 jar with the 2.3.11 jar without problems. I doubt the problem is with FreeMarker. It's more likely to be the FreeMarkerManager included with Struts 2 that's responsible for searching for templates in the classpath. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Freemarker-%28old-version-that-struts2-uses%29-disappearing-pages-tp16467449p16487687.html Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[OT] What do you code today?
While outward facing web application get the most publicity, I know that most of us are heads-down on internally-facing applications designed for fellow employees to use over the corporate intranet. I'm trying to put together a list of the typical types of applications that enterprise developer write in real life. For example, my last project involved a system to track drafting, granting, monitoring, and enforcing water permits administered by a government agency. We would create an initial record for a permit, and then add child records to track progress through the workflow, and also update the master record along the way. For management, a key item here is a tracking report, which we exported to Word (using a third-party tool) for better formatting. For engineers, a key item was a flexible search system to quickly find a master or child record. Other interesting features are workflows where one task leads to another. When we completed one task (child record), the next is often implied, and so we had a workflow that would default the next task to work on when a current task was closed. Another interesting requirement was that sometimes master items were merged under another uber-master-item, becoming, in effect, child items themselves. In most cases, the application simply exposed business models that we designed into the database, so the application has little business logic of its own. Most of the workflows were designed to find, list, edit, or view one database entity or the other. So, if anyone else is up for sharing, I'd be interested in hearing what sort of things other people are doing these days.

Re: struts.xml
I completely jumped the gun. My test was flawed and on fixing it, I found that struts was reloading its config on my dispatcher.init() call, and then again just before the request but without my config and so ignoring the configured Dispatch that I set! I tried the other approach but I can't see any way to get hold of the Dispatcher (since Dispatcher.getInstance() returns null before I launch the request).

From the lack of replies, I assume the answer is 'No, you cannot have an alternative struts.xml'. I was checking the low-down on the wiki, where I found that the struts configuration xml can be in multiple files listed by the property in the struts.properties: ### A list of configuration files automatically loaded by Struts struts.configuration.files=struts-default.xml,struts-plugin.xml,struts.xml Using this property, I can set up my maven environment to filter struts.properties as a resource and set that property explicitly, so in testing I can have 'struts-test.xml' This works to a limited extent, i.e. one struts.xml for all testing, another for in-container deployment.

Re: Struts 2.1 TabbedPanel scenario
It has definitely solved a big problem. Now, i can show the correct data of
two tabs, submit them and have correct results. Actually, my case is very
simple, as i told you that the two tabs will not be related, so, each tab
will be submitted independently without needing each others data because
there is no common data. So, everything is fine. EXCEPT.
If i submit one tab the page submits and as a result of this the other tabs'
data is lost. By lost i mean that the changes i made in other tabs are reset
because the page is submitted. I am still unable to find out how to make
each tab ajax based. Here is my jsp code.
s:url var=test1 value=demo/DefaultAllowanceDetailsAction.action/
s:url var=test2 value=demo/LibraryFormDefaultAction.action/
sx:tabbedpanel id=tabbedPanel useSelectedTabCookie=true
sx:div id=div1 label=Allowance Details href=%{test1}
refreshOnShow=false preload=true
s:action name=demo/DefaultAllowanceDetailsAction.action
executeResult=true /
/sx:div
sx:div id=div2 label=Library Form href=%{test2}
refreshOnShow=false preload=true
s:action name=demo/LibraryFormDefaultAction.action
executeResult=true /
/sx:div
/sx:tabbedpanel
I have put false in refreshOnShow attribute so the tab is not refreshed once
it gets selected. What i want is to maintain the history of the changes made
to other tabs which were not submitted.
Thanks,

Hello,
Here is the scenrio. I have two action classes. ClassA and ClassB. There
is no relationship among these classes. You might say that if there is no
relationship then why i have to put them in one single jsp. Well its a
client's requirement.
In a single jsp there are two tabs. Tab1ForClassA and Tab2ForClassB.
Each tab has fields concerned to their classes as defined above. Tab1 -
ClassA and Tab2 - ClassB.
Can we do it? I have tried this but what happens is that when i submit the
data on Tab1, Tab2's data becomes empty.
So, any ideas will be highly appreciated. Furthermore, i am quite new to
tabbed panel and would require clear tips and ideas.

Re: [OT] What do you code today?
Could you suggest a pattern which would most closely match the requirements for the typical workflow application?

While outward facing web application get the most publicity, I know that most of us are heads-down on internally-facing applications designed for fellow employees to use over the corporate intranet. I'm trying to put together a list of the typical types of applications that enterprise developer write in real life. For example, my last project involved a system to track drafting, granting, monitoring, and enforcing water permits administered by a government agency. We would create an initial record for a permit, and then add child records to track progress through the workflow, and also update the master record along the way. For management, a key item here is a tracking report, which we exported to Word (using a third-party tool) for better formatting. For engineers, a key item was a flexible search system to quickly find a master or child record. Other interesting features are workflows where one task leads to another. When we completed one task (child record), the next is often implied, and so we had a workflow that would default the next task to work on when a current task was closed. Another interesting requirement was that sometimes master items were merged under another uber-master-item, becoming, in effect, child items themselves. In most cases, the application simply exposed business models that we designed into the database, so the application has little business logic of its own. Most of the workflows were designed to find, list, edit, or view one database entity or the other. So, if anyone else is up for sharing, I'd be interested in hearing what sort of things other people are doing these days.

the code you've included, it should be set from the textfield so you

Re: Connecting s:autocompleter and s:div
Thanks for the response Musachy,
The problem still persists. i went ahead and tried to follow one of the
examples on struts showcase A div
that will listen to events to refresh and start/stop autoupdate. the
result was the same.
I also tried by copying the whole example into my application. the page
continues to refresh over and over. and i see multiple sections being added
and eventually the browser hangs.
I am not sure what's going on as i am not very well versed with struts 2 or
Ajax.
Any ideas?

Re: [OT] What do you code today?
I'm still working on externally facing applications. The company has a few different types of user that it supports (Members who receive services, Providers who provide the services, Brokers who sell the service, and Clients that pay for their members to receive services). Each of these audiences has their own web site to support their needs. Up to about 4 months ago, each of these sites was written in it's own, home-grown framework which effectively prevented developers from one team helping out any of the other teams. So, recently I had the opportunity to try out a few different technology stacks to try and pick one for the company. I started with Struts 1 and we wrote a successful externally facing application that was well received and most of the people that are maintaining it haven't had any problems. Next I wrote a Struts 1/Tiles 1 application that had a strict internationalization requirement (since it had to support multiple languages from day 1). That also went very well and has been an easy maintainence platform. After that I wrote my first Struts 2 app (with Spring and Acegi security). I fell in love with the new controller, but I'm still a bit disappointed in the view. Struts 2 definitely has a steeper learning curve for our junior programmers since it's a bigger departure from what they're used to, but it's worth the climb. And while I think Acegi probably has a place in a packaged application where you're not sure what form the authentication database will take, it was waaayyy overkill and waaayyy, waaayyy to complex for what we needed. To this day I'm still the only one that can do maintainence on that part of the site. So then the powers-that-be sent down a decree that, since they consider us an IBM shop and HAL has said that JSF is the way of the future, that we would have to use JSF (even after all the discovery that had been done in-house). So we embarked on a two month fiasco to try and convert our current Struts 1 like, MVC applications, that have requirements like sending out formatted e-mails and generating PDF's on the fly, to JSF which was a dismal failure. Fast forward to 4 months ago when we started the actual rewrite of the first audience web site using Struts 2, Spring, and Tiles 2. We removed Acegi from the mix and wrote a very flexible (if I do say so myself) authentication/authorization system that is currently backed by both LDAP and ActiveDirectory (something we could never get working in Acegi). We have about 1 month left and we'll be shipping the first of the new, unified, web sites. Then it's on to the next audience.

Re: Struts 2 exception problem
Hi Oguzhan-
We've run into the *exact* same problem. Our interceptor is returning
error but that return value is not respected when the result is rendered.
It makes me wonder what the value of returning the invocation result is in
the first place...
Just stepping through the code and browsing the invocation context shows
that the resultCode is set to error just after our interceptor is invoked.
However, when I evaluated the resultCode handed to a PreResultListener I
found it had been set back to success.
I'm a little unsure at this point how to use the PreResultListener to solve
the problem.
I've tried adding it in catch block for the hibernate exception as an
Anonymous Inner Class:
invocation.addPreResultListener(new PreResultListener() {
public void beforeResult(ActionInvocation invocation, String
resultCode) {
ActionContext.getContext().getActionInvocation().setResultCode(error);
}
});
But the beforeResult method is never called even though I can see the object
getting created. I created a separate interceptor to initialize the
listener and that does work but I'm now stuck on finding a method to signal
that listener to set the result code to error appropriately. It seems that
pushing something onto the value stack in my hibernate interceptor is not
useful since the value I put there is being popped off by someone else.
Have you managed to make any progress on this?

Ask not what the framework can do for you, but what you can do for the framework ... it's Friday. Seriously though, if you need to provide a getMyBoolean, and you can't modify the original class, you can just provide a wrapper to translate getMyBoolean to isMyBoolean. If it's a public class as I think the JavaBean spec requires it to be, you can just extend it, otherwise you need a delegator for not just this property but all the others. Anyway, it's not really clear that this is what you need anyway, so this is just more speculation. --Dave - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We're a few weeks away from rolling correspondence creation under the common application. There are at least four separate projects going on that are new pieces that snap into this main application. We offer a host of management reporting capabilities, real-time dashboarding of statistics and metrics for managers, multi-level security backed by a highly robust LDAP-based security infrastructure, and a host of web services for various clients. But all of this is under a common umbrella application... each piece is a separate bit of functionality (as evidence by the fact that some clients want part A and nothing else and we're able to provide that with the flip of a switch), and yet all the pieces are integrated (not just at the glass either, we're talking the ability for one component to use the data from another seamlessly) but at the same time they are developed independently and are, with few exceptions, highly isolated in terms of packaging and development cycles. This is a highly complex undertaking that is pushing the limits of RIA development as most people know it today. It's using virtually every cool buzzword out there today in some form or other :) I have no qualms about putting it up against any other web-based application out there in terms of complexity and in terms of how close it actually comes to looking, feeling and functioning like a fat-client app. It's extremely flexible, powerful and pretty elegant architecturally (that's not to say it's perfect: when you do something this large and complex you're bound to learn some things through the process, and we certainly have, but it says a lot about how good the underling architecture is that we've been able to extend it and frankly correct things along the way without killing ourselves, our budget or our timelines). This is a back-office application primarily, but as I mentioned, parts of it are used by various remote clients (the application and the web services, which are two separate offerings) as well as more front-office-type concerns (and all three groups are getting expanded functionality little by little... this is without question the fastest-growing application we have as most new development is targeted to be a part of it). So, if anyone else is up for sharing, I'd be interested in hearing what sort of things other people are doing these days. (If your not comfortable posting the list, feel free to mail me direct.) Over the past 10 years, here's a rundown of some of the other applications I've developed: * An application for creating, tracking and reconciling transfers of assets between accounts (this capability has been rolled into the previously mentioned application). This is also very definitely an RIA and for a long time was the model for more advanced web UI applications throughout the company. * An application for maintaining insurance accounts. This was a very interesting project because it was the first large web-based application that used data (and processing) on the mainframe. It was also notable because we didn't have an app server at the time, just a web server with some now-defunct IBM technology allowing us to talk to the mainframe. This application was actually developed around 1999, but it's in many ways *the* model for an RIA: with no app server, the *entire* application lived on the client... the calls to the mainframe were essentially service calls that always returned nothing but data that the client then did something with. Ironically, this is largely the model we're using for the first app I mentioned at the start, except now we're doing it with DWR and a far fancier UI. * An application for processing of complex corporate actions (stock splits, things like that). This was one of the more logic-heavy applications because of the nature of the processing involved, and we essentially custom-developed a very capable rules engine for it. This was another RIA for sure, but it was a little server-heavy for my tastes (didn't use AJAX per se, but pulled a lot of the same sort of partial page refresh tricks). * An application for processing of incoming payments. This was an interesting project because it started out as a Visual Foxpro-based Windows app and we pretty much ported the whole thing to the web in terms of look and feel... I remember many comments by long-time users that they
Re: Struts 2 exception problem
Hi Oguzhan-
We've run into the *exact* same problem. Our interceptor is returning
error but that return value is not respected when the result is
rendered. It makes me wonder what the value of returning the invocation
result is in the first place...
Just stepping through the code and browsing the invocation context shows
that the resultCode is set to error just after our interceptor is
invoked. However, when I evaluated the resultCode handed to a
PreResultListener I found it had been set back to success.
I'm a little unsure at this point how to use the PreResultListener to
solve the problem.
I've tried adding it in catch block for the hibernate exception as an
Anonymous Inner Class:
invocation.addPreResultListener(new PreResultListener() {
public void beforeResult(ActionInvocation invocation,
String resultCode) {
ActionContext.getContext().getActionInvocation().setResultCode(error);
}
});
But the beforeResult method is never called even though I can see the
object getting created. I created a separate interceptor to initialize
the listener and that does work but I'm now stuck on finding a method to
signal that listener to set the result code to error appropriately. It
seems that pushing something onto the value stack in my hibernate
interceptor is not useful since the value I put there is being popped
off by someone else. I find the same thing happens when I try adding
values to the request attribute map from an interceptor. At this point
I'm using the session and managing removal of the signal in the
PreResultListener. It's not an approach I like but it works.
Of course it has a global result :) it returns error too but i think
struts 2 working mech. makes this impossible to do after
invocation.invoke() method only the result of the action works... :) i
think this is not a common situation

Ask not what the framework can do for you, but what you can do for the
framework ... it's Friday. Seriously though, if you need to provide
a getMyBoolean, and you can't modify the original class, you can just
provide a wrapper to translate getMyBoolean to isMyBoolean. If it's a
public class as I think the JavaBean spec requires it to be, you can
just extend it, otherwise you need a delegator for not just this
property but all the others. Anyway, it's not really clear that this
is what you need anyway, so this is just more speculation.
The JavaBean specification only talks about boolean properties; it
doesn't mention Boolean (section 8.3.2). But rather than messing with an
'adapter' sub-class, I would consider either (a) creating a BeanInfo
class or (b) simply living with it and just being explicit in OGNL
expressions like so:
s:checkbox name=xyz label=xyzLabel value=%{#myBean.isXyz()}
required=true tooltip=xyzTooltip/
i.e. use method-call rather than simple property syntax.

Re: s:radio issue

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the reply. I've actually tried with #keepRemoveRadio as well but
got same result. In fact, I got it working by putting john or doe as
below for s:param property:
s:param name=*Keep* value=%{'john}/
That makes sense, since value=john will try to evaluate 'john' as an
expression (i.e. will look for it on the value stack) whereas
value=%{'john'} (or simply value='john') evaluates to a literal
string. This is described in the Tag Syntax guide linked at the top of
all the tag documentation pages:
http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11/docs/tag-syntax.html
[Hmm; that said, I just noticed that the 2.0.11 docs for s:param claim
that the value attribute is *not* evaluated, which is inconsistent with
what you're seeing; it could be that the documentation is in need of
updating for that tag.]
Moving ahead, now stuck with a different issue. Actually, I want to create
name of the param dynamically by concatenating two strings. One is already a
struts2 s:set property and other is a static value. For example, I want to
do something like this:
Line 1: s:set name=prop1 value=%{someActionProp}/
s:bean name=java.util.HashMap id=keepRemoveRadioMap
* s:param name=%{prop1}Keep value=%{prop1}john/
s:param name=Remove value=%{prop1}doe/
* /s:bean
But I could not get the lines in bold working. Do you have any idea how to
concatenate two strings and assing it to a third variable? I tried
s:append but that doesn't work either. Using that I can only iterate and
print the values but cant assign to third variable.
Try s:param name=%{prop1+'Keep'} value=%{prop1+'john'}/ instead
(untested).

Thanks

While I've never used the s:bean... tag, normally when you create an

Re: any struts 2 unit testers out there?
As Ian says, the mock objects supplied by XWork may make this all a lot easier, but in any case all this is predicated on the fact that you're using ActionSupport's implementation of TextProvider which doesn't make provision for mocking at test time. I think it would make a great deal of sense to improve that (open an enhancement request in Jira), but in the mean time, there's nothing preventing you from providing a getText() implementation that's more conducive to testing. I feel your pain on this one, and the right solution is to fix the framework (patches always welcome ;-), but it shouldn't be that hard to get around. L. paulbrickell wrote: Actually thats an interesting post. To my mind it doesn't demonstrate a solution. It demonstrates the problem. Here is why I think this. Struts 2 is just frankly brilliant for people doing test first development. The classes you create really are POJOs. There are no dependencies on any framework in my action classes. For example parameters are parsed well away from my action and the values are set using simple properties, things like sessions are simply maps. It is a truly new world for those of who have suffered the horror of mocking http requests, responses, context and the like. But this simple scenario brings all that pain flooding back. I add a line in my action like this... String yadaYada = getText(some.doodad); And my lovely world comes unraveled real quick. Now I need mock objects up the ying-yang. I started using the tutorial from the link posted (I am an Arsenal fan btw, so got two for the price of one, thanks), but it still doesn't provide a simple solution to the problem. To get this to work I have to build not just the application context but a mass of supporting objects to get a web application framework up and running before I can test my simple POJO. I am not going to give up just yet, but I think I am still going to have to look for another way. Cheers, Paul B. Relph,Brian wrote: I recommend creating an action context.

Re: [S2] Struts with Web Services
Production integration experience? No... I evaluated it and did a quick proof-of-concept on a project once. We ended up sticking with the in-house option, which wasn't bad, but it was an apache mod, so we periodically looked for alternatives because we were always tied to mod_jk or mod_proxy because the authentication/authorization service was tied to httpd. The nice thing about CAS was that it can be integrated in more than just Java web-apps. You can also integrate with acegi rather easily. It's worth checking out if you have a suite of web-apps that you would like to create a single-sign-on that is somewhat reusable. -Wes On Fri, 2008-04-04 at 08:56 +0200, Lukasz Lenart wrote: http://www.ja-sig.org/products/cas/ -Wes Do you have some experience with that?
