New twist on old topic? Back button issue with Token
Hello, Forgive me for bringing up what seems to be a topic that's been discussed here a lot: Issues with the back button. I am using the token mechanism to prevent multiple form submits. My jsp is invoked with a ForwardAction where I set the token. The jsp submits to an action that checks if the token is valid. So far, so good. That works like a charm. The problem, as is extensively pointed out in documentation everywhere, is that there is nothing to prevent the user from hitting the browser back button and submitting the form again. If the user hasn't changed anything on the form then the resulting behavior (action class rejects the submit because the token isn't valid anymore) is exactly what I want. Where this scenario falls apart, though, is if the user changes some of the values on the form before submitting the form again. At this point, the logical thing (at least in the user's mind) is that the submit should be accepted. However, the action will still think the token is invalid (because it was never reset by the ForwardAction) and will therefore reject the submittal. OK, I understand why/how all this happens. My question is, how are others dealing with this? This is a pretty basic scenario that I'm sure anyone who has done Struts development has run into. What are some of the solutions you've come up with? I know I can put some text on the page(s) warning user NOT to use the back button but there is no guarantee that they'll pay attention. I can also put some script that sets some hidden field value whenever any input field on the form changes. However, that will kind of conflict with the token mechanism and maybe even eliminate the need for the token mechanism. The problem with that is ... what if user has Java Script turned off. Any feedback will be appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/New-twist-on-old-topic--Back-button-issue-with-Token-tf2382440.html#a6639844 Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [OT] request.getServletPath() val not same in Filter Servlet
The name of the app is 'app1' The 'servlet' part of the address is required by the App Server (or configurable somewhere that I don't know about). By the way, we're using SAP's Netweaver Developer Studio. As for the web.xml setting... The only thing I have in web.xml is this servlet servlet-nameServletName/servlet-name servlet-classpackage.ServletName/servlet-class /servlet I don't have aservlet-mapping entry for this particular servlet David Friedman-2 wrote: First, is '/servlet' the name of your webapp? If so then this might just make sense. Why? The HttpServletRequest.getServletPath() object is described to: Returns the part of this request's URL that calls the servlet. In a filter, that is the mapping '/*' which as you wrote resulted in '/servlet'. Well, assuming '/servlet' is the name of your webapp and not your servlet. In a servlet, how did you do your web.xml mapping for the servlet which resulted in this result '/servlet/package.ServletName' ?

RE: [OT] request.getServletPath() val not same in Filter Servlet
David, Maybe I'm missing something in your reply but I don't think I'm doing either a forward or a dispatch. Here's the scenario... - Simple app has (let's say) 10 pages - A couple of pages are jsps using Struts forms. These are considered 'secure' pages and require a person to be logged in - Some pages are straight html. These are 'unsecure' pages - One page is a servlet. This is an 'unsecure' page - App uses a Filter with a url-pattern of '/*' - Filter interrogates the requested url to determine if requested page is a 'secure' page. - If request is for a secure page, and user is not logged in, the request is redirected to a login page - If request is not for a secure page then the doFilter method just does the following: chain.doFilter(request, response); return; My problem is that if the user requests the below address, the following lines of code in the doFilter method get one result and the same lines of code in the servlet give a different result. requested address: http://localhost/app1/servlet/package.ServletName doFilter code snippet: HttpServletRequest hreq = (HttpServletRequest)request; HttpServletResponse hres = (HttpServletResponse)response; // This results in '/servlet' String requestedUrl = hreq.getServletPath(); servlet code snippet: // This results in '/servlet/package.ServletName' String requestedUrl = hreq.getServletPath(); David Friedman-2 wrote: Are you doing a forward or a dispatch. One of them handles mappings differently because you are inside the application already and won't use the filters a second time. That is why the latest version of the servlet spec allows you to specify which one in your web.xml mappings. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-OT--request.getServletPath%28%29-val-not-same-in-Filter---Servlet-tf2152125.html#a5964193 Sent from the Struts - User forum at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Choices, choices...How does one choose a taglib for displaying tables?
Thanks Dave, I have passed the info on to SAP's support and I'm trying some other things to see if I can get it working. I'd also like to try an older version of DisplayTag but all I can find is 1.1. Where would I find an earlier version for download? Oh, and thanks for the reminder about the display tag mailing list. I don't know why I didn't think of that. I always come to the Struts list first. : ) David Durham wrote: pantichd wrote: Some would say that variety is good and I agree but I also want to make sure we choose something that will work well with Struts and will be supported/enhanced going forward. I think displaytag is a reasonable choice. There are displaytag forums and displaytag mailing lists hosted by sourceforge. You may get more help there. But, if you look in displaytag.tld (it's in META-INF/ of displaytag.jar), the JSP version is 1.2 (I'm referring to displaytag-1.1), so maybe you can give that info to your vendor with the hope of getting a more helpful response. Another thing to try is deploying the displaytag examples war included in the binary (not sure about source) distribution. If that works, then you can get your app to work. If the example app doesn't work, then the problem is likely a bit more tricky to find. Another option is to use an older version of displaytag. Realise you're looking for something that will be enhanced going forward, but you may need to drop that aspect of your requirements if you're tied to older versions of the Servlets and JSP specs (but not necessarily). -Dave - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Choices%2C-choices...How-does-one-choose-a-taglib-for-displaying-tables--tf2112352.html#a5835783 Sent from the Struts - User forum at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Choices, choices...How does one choose a taglib for displaying tables?
Frank, It doesn't *have* to be a taglib but it's preferred because the developers we support are already used to working with taglib but not really all that familiar with JavaScript. I took a look at both of the tools you suggested. Nice!! Would love to try those but I'm afraid it won't help us with the situation we're in right now because it would require going through the whole process of justifying buying new software and then going through the approval process, blah, blah, blah.

Getting a list of fields in a form
Hello, The DynaActionForm class has a method called getMap which Returns the Map containing the property values We've found this quite useful for some of the things we need to do. I am looking for a similar method in the ActionForm ValidatorForm but I can't find anything. Can someone tell me if there is an easy way to get all the property keys along with their values from those two classes? Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: [OT] Survey - how do others accomplish this...
I hope it's ok that I'm asking this here. I know it's not technically a Struts-related question. Based on the link Wendy provided, I googled ServletContextListener and found this (http://www.stardeveloper.com/articles/display.html?article=200901page=1) which sounded like exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks Wendy! Also, liked the SessionListener example later in the article and tried it. It seems to increment the activeSessions counter just fine as long as the session is being created by a jsp or servlet. However, it doesn't seem to do anything if I open a new browser window and bring up a simple html page in that webapp. I'm sure there is a good explanation for it but I don't understand. Can anyone explain it to me? Would this be a good way to monitor how many active sessions a webapp has or is there a better, more efficient, more standard way of doing it? Thanks!

[OT] Survey - how do others accomplish this...
Hello, I'm looking for an elegant and simple solution to something that I'm sure others have dealt with already. Don't want to reinvent the wheel so I thought might help to hear from others on how they're handling it. We have many webapps that need access to some common (mostly static) data for doing validations or populating dropdowns, radio buttons, etc. Some examples are lists of operating companies, company locations and/or company holidays, etc. A long time ago, someone here coded a utility class with static methods. The static methods return values which are hardcoded in the code. This works OK as long as the data NEVER changes. If it does, we have to recompile the class and tell everyone to get the new copy of the class in their app. I thought a cleaner way would be to have a servlet that starts when the webapp starts. The servlet would look up the values in some database (or properties file(s)) and place the values in the app context. Initially, we thought about doing this at the time a user logs into the site but storing that info in everybody's session is inefficient. How have others dealt with this? Thanks for any feedback.

Can't figure out how to do if then else with Struts logic tags
Hello, Is it possible to do if then else type of processing using Struts Logic tags? I don't see anything in the Struts Logic tags documentation at this link http://struts.apache.org/struts-doc-1.2.7/userGuide/struts-logic.html Here's my situation: 1) I want to put in some logic in all my jsps to check if a user has authenticated. 2) If user has not then I want the page to display a simple message saying that login is required and include a link back to login page. 3) If user HAS authenticated I want the page to display the normal stuff (e.g. content, struts form, etc) that the page is intended for. 4) Upon valid login, a user object is placed in session and it will have a boolean property called authenticated I know I could do something like this ... logic:equal name=user property=authorized value=false h3You must be logged in to view this page. Please login a href= login.jsphere/a/h3 /logic:equal logic:equal name=user property=authorized value=true Thank you for loggin in... Normal stuff for this page /logic:equal One of the problems is that I also need to check if the user session object is null because a user could have tried to go directly to an internal (after login page) page using a bookmark. How can I check for the presence of an object in the session? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Can't figure out how to do if then else with Struts logic tags
Dave, I totally agree with you about doing this kind of checking in an action class and I AM doing it there. However, the problem is that I still need a way to prevent a user from going to the jsp w/o first logging in. Let's say the user logged in during a previous session and bookmarked the jsp. They can get back to it w/o having to login. I know that once they submit the form the action class will catch that they're not logged in and send them back to login page. But I'd rather catch it before then. I hate to have the user fill in a bunch of information, submit form and THEN get redirected to login. I'll look into JSTL. Are you saying it has if-then-else type of processing? Could you point me in the right direction for that and for the check if object exists in session issue? Also, I haven't used filters before. We just upgraded from Struts 1.0.2 so I'm pretty ignorant of all the features of newest version of Struts. Is this some kind of Struts filter or what is described here? http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/Filters.html Thanks again for your reply. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is it possible to do if then else type of processing using Struts Logic tags? I don't see anything in the Struts Logic tags documentation at this link http://struts.apache.org/struts-doc-1.2.7 /userGuide/struts-logic.html Use JSTL; you'll be better off in the long run anyway, and there's essentially zero learning curve. 1) I want to put in some logic in all my jsps to check if a user has authenticated. Don't do this in the JSP; do this in either a filter, base Action class, etc. Try to use JSP pages for presentation only to keep concerns separated. One of the problems is that I also need to check if the user session object is null because a user could have tried to go directly to an internal (after login page) page using a bookmark. How can I check for the presence of an object in the session? Again, if you're doing this outside of a JSP (highly recommended) it's trivial. Otherwise you could always use a JSTL tag to check for a value in the appropriate session scope attribute key.

Re: Can't figure out how to do if then else with Struts logic tags
Matt,
Thanks for your reply. I've seen the suggestion about putting jsp files
under the WEB-INF directory before but have never had a need to do it.
One thing Im not clear on... if I place the jsps under WEB-INF directory,
what happens if someone tries to access one of them directly using a
bookmark? Do they just get a page not found error?
Maybe I just need to try it but here's the scenario I'm envisioning.
I create a login.do action that ends up bringing up the login.jsp. The
action called from the login.jsp page will then forward to ... let's say
main.jsp. Do I need to wrap that jsp in a main.do action?
If I don't what's to stop the user from bookmarking main.jsp and then
getting an ugly (or custom) page not found message if the jsp is not
accessible directly?
Like I said, maybe I just need to try it.
Thanks again for all the replies. I don't know what I'd do without all the
help I get from this mailing list.

Not sure if this is a solution for you or not, but you could also put
your JSPs under WEB-INF
directory so that they cannot be directly accessed by a user. They
would instead have to go
through an Action first.
Filters may be your best bet (and yes, that is the URL to look at).
As far as JST syntax, you could use something like:
c:choose
c:when test=${numberOfResults==0}
!-- DO SOMETHING --
/c:when
c:otherwise
!-- DO SOMETHING ELSE --
/c:otherwise
/c:choose
Hope that helps!

Re: Looking for a tutorial or complete example of using DynaValidatorForm
Laurie,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I've been able to get a little further. I've gotten the jsp to come up.
When I click the submit button with nothing in either input field it stops
on a breakpoint in the validate method of the DynaValidatorForm class.
Just in case you don't have the code of that class in front of you : )
here's the method I'm talking about
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest
request) {
this.setPageFromDynaProperty();
ServletContext application = getServlet().getServletContext();
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
String validationKey = getValidationKey(mapping, request);
Validator validator = Resources.initValidator(validationKey,this
,application, request,errors, page);
try {
validatorResults = validator.validate();
} catch (ValidatorException e) {
log.error(e.getMessage(), e);
}
return errors;
}
It creates the validationKey variable fine. When I inspect it I see that
the value of it is the name I specified for the form-bean in my
struts-config.xml file.
It also creates the validator variable fine.When I inspect it I see that
the formName variable is correct and the resources.hFormSets variable has
the info about my form and the field that is required.
However, when it executes the validator.validate() method it goes to the
catch block. If I try to inspect the ValidatorException variable I get a e
cannot be resolved error message. This could be just a quirk of the SAP
IDE but I'm kind of lost why it would fail there.
So now I have two questions:
1) What do I need to to see the output of fthe log.error(e.getMessage())
statement in the catch block?
2) Could someone review my modified xml and jsp files (see below) and see
if there is anything obviously wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help

Looking for a tutorial or complete example of using DynaValidatorForm
Hello, I have been using Struts for awhile but it was a very old (1.02) version. Just finished upgrading my apps to Struts 1.2.7 and would like to take advantage of the DynaValidatorForm. I've found several articles on it and many examples. However, I haven't found one that includes a complete example app and I am having trouble getting it to work properly with the pieces I have. Basically, what I want to do is create the form dynamically in the struts-config.xml file, define the error messages in a properties file and define the validations in a validator.xml file. Here is what I have so far. When I try to to run my dyna.jsp I get a javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: null error. I'v'e put breakpoints in my action class but it never gets that far. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ***STRUTS-CONFIG.XML struts-config form-beans form-bean name=dynaForm type=org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm form-property name=customer type=java.lang.String/ form-property name=email type=java.lang.String/ /form-bean /form-beans action-mappings action path=/dynaTest type=com.firstenergycorp.dzp.DynaTester name=dynaForm validate=true scope=request input=/dyna.jsp forward name=/success path=/thank_you.html/ /action /action-mappings message-resources parameter=application/ plug-in className=org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn set-property property=pathnames value=/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/validator.xml/ /plug-in /struts-config ***WEB.XML web-app display-nameWEB APP/display-name descriptionWEB APP description/description servlet servlet-nameaction/servlet-name servlet-classorg.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet /servlet-class init-param param-nameapplication/param-name param-valueApplicationResources/param-value /init-param init-param param-nameconfig/param-name param-value/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml/param-value /init-param init-param param-namevalidate/param-name param-valuetrue/param-value /init-param /servlet servlet servlet-namedyna.jsp/servlet-name jsp-file/dyna.jsp/jsp-file /servlet servlet-mapping servlet-nameaction/servlet-name url-pattern*.do/url-pattern /servlet-mapping /web-app ***VALIDATOR.XML form-validation formset form name=dynaForm field property=customer depends=required msg name=required key=error.customer/ /field /form /formset /form-validation ***DYNA.JSP %@ taglib uri=/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld prefix=html % %@ taglib uri=/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld prefix=logic % %@ taglib uri=/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld prefix=bean % html body html:form action = /dynaTest Customer Name:*html:text property=customer /brbr email:*html:text property=email /brbr html:submitSubmit/html:submit /html:form /body /html - The information contained in this message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.

Picking a framework
Hello, I realize that this is not the most unbiased group : ) but it seems to be a very sensible and well behaved (no nasty name calling like you find on some other groups). So I'm hoping not to get beat up when I ask this. We have been using Struts for about 4 years now and we've never updated.. Don't ask why! Anyway, now we're moving to a new J2EE development environment and trying to decide how to build apps going forward Struts is the logical choice because we know it. However, one of the big issues we have with Struts right now is that it still involves a lot of things to be done by hand. I don't mind but management keeps coming back at us with how come the .NET group can crank out the webapps so much faster? Why do you have to build all these common components? Why does it take so long? blah, blah, blah I know that part of the problem is that we're on such an old version of Struts. I also know that there are a ton of Java (Struts, JSF, Spring, Turbine, Tapestry, Cocoon, ) frameworks and tools out there. Since this is a good time to make a change (upgrade or switch) I want to make sure we don't make the wrong choice. But I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with everything out there. How does one pick? Once you commit to one it's not easy to change. I know some will come back with it depends on your situation and experience I understand that. Obviously, Struts has an advantage because our are comfortable with it. I'm sure there are tools that make development (especially the Visual part of the MVC) quicker in java but I am having a hard time sifting thru everything to find them Has anyone seen any good comprehensive reviews/investigations of the various frameworks? Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long rambling message.

TLD file placement
Wendy, I'm curious about your comment about Servlet 2.2 and placement of tld files. Sorry if I'm asking a basic question but I didn't know that you can just use the tld files in the jar. You said unless you're on Servlet 2.2... Does that mean that after Servlet 2.2 you can just use the tld files in the jar file? If so, do I need to do anything special to tell Struts to look there or is it enough to just take out the tld mappings from the web.xml file? Thanks! David Wendy Smoak [EMAIL PROTECTED] com To Struts Users Mailing List 10/19/2005 10:35 user@struts.apache.org PM cc Subject Please respond to Re: Strange Struts tld problem Struts Users Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] he.org From: Koon Yue Lam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Assume I have 2 jsp(s), header.jsp and content.jsp In content.jsp, I include header.jsp like the following: %@ include file=../common/Header.jsp % The include isn't working. Possibly because your file is named 'header.jsp' and you're including 'Header.jsp', (watch the case!) or possibly because it isn't where you think it is relative to content.jsp. In addition, unless you're on Servlet 2.2, you don't need to put the tlds under WEB-INF and map them in web.xml. Just use the URIs such as %@ taglib uri=http://struts.apache.org/tags-html; prefix=html % and the tld file that's in struts.jar will be used. -- Wendy Smoak - The information contained in this message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.

Moving from Struts 1.0.2 to 1.2.7. Encountering problems
Hello, We are in process of moving to different IDE and at same time have decided to upgrade to Struts 1.2.7. Started out with a just two pages from an app that is running fine in our current environment. It consists of a login page and a viewPrices.jsp page. Upon valid login the user is supposed to see the viewPrices.jsp page. Using the debugger to step thru the execute method of my LoginAction class I can see that it's finding my action mapping and pointing to the right jsp page. However, after it exits the execute method of my LoginAction class I get the following error: Cannot get request dispatcher for path viewPrices.jsp If I try open the viewPrices.jsp file directly in the browser it comes up fine.
