referring to the DTDs

2001-07-25 Thread Jonathan Asbell



I was wondering if there is a way for an xml doc to 
look for a dtd in 2 or 3 places. Can you do this:


 !DOCTYPE 
struts-configSYSTEM  "file:///c:/bea/wlserver6.0/config/Wcom/applications/mydomain/WEB-INF/struts-config_1_0.dtd
 "file:///c:/dtds/struts-config_1_0.dtd
  "struts-config_1_0.dtd
The reason is that I want to refer to the dtdusing a 
RELATIVE path on both UNIX and 
NT

 Hi all,

 Sorry for naive question.

 I'm new to Struts - just construct some simple examples by myself...

 It seems to me that applications that use Struts are web-centric. I wonder
 where EJB comes into play? And is it easy to migrate Struts apps to J2EE
 applications...? Is Struts (alone) suitable for large scale applications,
 without being a J2EE app?

 Thanks,

Indexed properties

2001-07-25 Thread Nathan Coast

Hi,

What I want to do is to have multiple text fields in a table get assigned to
an array or collection property in an ActionForm.

I've followed a few threads in the newsgroups about this and have tried some
jsp code:

logic:iterate id=myObject name=indexedForm property=indexedPropsList
TR
TDhtml:text name=myObject property=name
indexed=true//TD
/TR
/logic:iterate

but this produces this jsp error:

/pages/test/TestIndexedPropertyPage_Body.jsp(11): for tag 'text' handler
type 'org.apache.struts.taglib.html.TextTag' has no property 'indexed'

Is the indexed property a non-standard struts patch / extension I have to
use?

Thanks 
Nathan

 I then display the string with:

You can try this:

bean:message key = '%= term.type + bean.getType() %' /

or, better (does not work with struts 1.0 but with CVS 1.1)

Hi,

You need 3 methods, a getter and a setter for the Vector (or other
arraytype object) and a getter for single object in your arraytype
object, i.e., getObject(int inx){ return myVector.elementAt(inx) }
Just like on the webpage mentioned. 

the setters needed should be defined on the object your are returning
in the getObject method. That is, what happens when the form fild data
is passed to the form object is:
getObject(inx).setProperty(someProperty).

In the indexed tags write up at
http://www.husted.com/about/struts/indexed-tags.htm, it only mentions the
two types of get methods required in the action form. It doesn't mention the
setters that are required. It looks like the getParameterList() method is
only used by the iterate tag. To populate the form on submit the only setter
needed is:

public void setParameter(int index, Parameter p){...};

In your case that means:

public void setParameter(int index, FieldMapping f) {...};

You probably don't need:
public void setFieldMappings(java.util.Vector newFieldMappings) {
fieldMappings = newFieldMappings;
}
unless you use it in your action to populate the form object before
displaying the form jsp.

I am about to try this myself so this is just a guess.

Subject: Pre-Populating ActionForm (again)


 I know that this have been asked several times, but I did
 not find answer for this little problem.

 I have list of lets say users. Each user has a link that maps
 to edituser action. That action then gets executed and it
 places userbean to request scope. Then struts forwards
 action to edituser.jsp. Edituser.jsp has form that has
 action mapping set to updateuser. When user submits
 that form which binds to userform action form the
 validate method of that actionform gets executed. If
 validation errors occurred then we get back to input
 form (which is edituser.jsp or edituser.do -- which
 to use?). And this is the point when I do not really
 understand what I should do, because when user gets
 back to edituser.jsp or edituser.do then there is not
 anymore that userbean is request scope. And because
 edituser.do does not have any forms associated with
 it then I should instead use edituser.jsp as input for
 updateuser action. But how I then write that form
 (jsp-page)?

 I have several options:

 1. put userbean in session scope (might be problem in
 multiserver environment also the modifications that user
 entered are not visible).

 2. Have another jsp-page that does not populate the form
 from userbean. Not good option because almost the same
 form needs to be written second time.

 3. Use logic tags to check the existence of userbean and if
 it does not exist then do not populate and let the form
 populate itself from posted form. Same problems as in 2.

 4. Somehow prepopulate the form with no manual
 population, but automatically. So do I pre-populate the
 form. What code I need to put in edituser action that
 previously placed userbean in request scope. I want to
 place the form object in that same scope, but don't
 know how. This is the best option and has no problems
 or at least I have not found a one.

 Thanks again!

Re: Workflow impasse? and more

2001-07-25 Thread nic.hobbs


Hi All,

Well I've finally got around to moving my struts subscriptions to a
different address so I can setup rules etc to manage the number of mails on
the lists! Moving them away from my work mail address is a good thing...

So why am I telling you all this? Well I , like Craig T, signed up for
several areas on the 1.1 Todo list a while back and like Craig have been
busy with work and being away on holiday and training. So keeping up with
the volume of mail has been difficult let alone contributing anything
constructive. So I, like Craig, am going to have to cut down what I am
involved in to make it fair to others and be able to contribute properly
without spreading myself too thin. So I am going to back out of the
following areas for the following reasons:

 Standard Validations  Client Side Validations - because I have not
done the work I expected to in this area and therefore feel I probably
shouldn't buttin on these!
 EJB Design Patterns  - for similar reasons. Although I have been
working with EJBs I think there are others who are better qualified to lead
this piece.


 I will of course contribute where possible to these areas but feel I
am unable to lead them or take a direct role in designing/writing these.


 Which leaves the following:
  Multi-page form support - I think this really may tie in with the
Workflow processing
  Workflow processing - I am working on workflow at the moment from
a 'backend' perspective i.e. at the EJB layer which I hope will help cement
   my ideas for the Struts workflow. More on this later.
  Role-based Action Execution - I have been looking at JAAS and
security in general and need to look into the specs a bit more to
understand   what _must_ be supported by containers and what
_tends_ to be supported before we make a decision on exactly where to go
withthis. Again more later.

I hope this will enable to contribute more than I have in the past and get
things moving. Apologies for anyone expecting me to take the others areas
through to completion.

So on to  Workflow.
 As Ted suggests I also believe the fundamentals are there in the
framework already. There have been several discussions about exactly what
the workflow piece is but I think Ted's implications are the best. I don't
think we are trying to design something that is a GUI nor are we trying to
make something that conforms to standards which are in their infancy. This
is not to say that support for products ( I think Visio for instance was
suggested) should not come later but I think this is in addition to the
underlying functionality which is to link Actions together to form a
business process with pre- and post-requirements. This is where the thought
on the multi-page forms comes in. I have been thinking about this a lot
lately and have a few ways of doing this which when I cement them a little
more will post here.

I think we need to get down a solid set of requirements ( I think Ted's are
a good start) and be clear what we are trying to achieve (I have tried to
outline my view above) before we can proceed and I will take a proper look
at the code examples Ted outlines in his mail. Much of the discussion so
far has been on several tracks all under the global term 'workflow'.
(Please don't take any of this as criticism - I am aware I haven't
contributed much up until now - just observations and an attempt to get
this going). So any comments on what we are trying to achieve and how? (and
I am waiting for the slap too... ;)

And then the security thing

I have been primarily working with BEA Weblogic and working on a banking
system so security has been key. We have had various discussions with BEA
and finally got some answers so I have  a clear idea of how BEA do things
and how we may be able to fit this in to struts. What is currently not
clear and Craig M has alluded to before is that the specs aren't really
explicit in this area and each application server tends to do things in its
own way. So I intend to look at the specs a little more to see what they
should at least all support and then work on whether we want to link
something into that or produce a struts specific implementation ( which
obviously should abstract things so that people can plug in their app
server specific stuff if necessary, although Struts is unlikely, at least
at this stage, to support this 'out-of-the-box'.) As the saying goes...I'll
be back...

I hope I haven't stepped on anyone's toes here and I hope I can contribute
properly in the future which I haven't been able to up until now due to
other commitments. Could I ask someone who has commiter privs to remove me
from the areas above on the todo list? Many thanks,

Kind regards and keep up the good work!

AW: Struts + JBoss

2001-07-25 Thread ecn11


Hi.

 i've had trouble with jboss 2.2.2/tomcat 3.2.2...for this reason i dropped
 back to the 2.2.1/3.2.1 version and everything worked fine...

Ok, I dropped back, too, now - but without success. Are you using Struts 1.0
or a newer version?

 in my experimentation, it seems to be a classloader issue...any classes
you
 want to access from another class must be either on the same level, or
 higher in your classpath...if a .jar file that is located in the
 jboss/lib/ext directory is accessing a struts class or action class that
is
 in your WEB-INF/lib/this.jar file, then it will give you this message...

That's the way I am using the struts.jar now (in jboss/lib/ext). Does it
work at you, when you use 2.2.1/3.2.1 ? Or do you have any suggestions where
to put it otherwise... (I tried ear/war/WEB-INF/lib and the root of the .ear
as Gregor suggested and many other locations - without any success).

 it's been a real pain :-)

Subject: Struts + JBoss


 Hi.

 Has anyone of you managed to make Struts and JBoss working together?

 This is my current situation: I use JBoss-2.2.2 + Tomcat-3.2.2 (by
 run_with_tomcat.bat - so they are running in one VM) and Struts 1.0.


 The problem is briefly: When I deploy a .ear-archive that contains a
 .war-archive with the classes Struts should use (e.g. the form and
 action-classes), it throws an exception:

 javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Exception creating bean of class
 path/DetailsForm: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: path/DetailsForm
 at
 org.apache.struts.taglib.html.FormTag.doStartTag(FormTag.java:568)

 These are the lines of the Struts source-code where the exception is
thrown:
try {
   Class clazz = Class.forName(type);
   bean = clazz.newInstance();
   if (bean instanceof ActionForm)
((ActionForm) bean).setServlet(servlet);
} catch (Exception e) {
   throw new JspException
 (messages.getMessage(formTag.create, type,
  e.toString()));
}


 The reason I blame Struts for that is the following:
 When I try to instanciate DetailsForm manually from the .jsp-page there is
 absolutely no problem. But Struts seems to use another classpath.


 Using the same .jsp-pages/classes/struts-config.xml/web.xml with Tomcat
and
 J2EE-reference implementation works fine. - So I can say for sure that
 struts-config.xml and web.xml okay.


 This is the way the .ear-File looks like:

 .ear
META-INF\
   sun-j2ee-ri.xml, Manifest.mf, application.xml
war-ic.war
 lots of stuff
   WEB-INF\
   web.xml, struts-*.tld, struts-config.xml, global.properties
   classes\
   Resources.properties
   all my classes
ejb-jar-ic.jar
   the beans (they work fine)


 I once tried to add the .class-files manually to the classpath (not the
ones
 that are created by jboss, when I deploy the .ear, but the .class-files,
 that I built before building the .ear-file).

 After that Struts was able to find the classes, but my classpath was
 completely messed up. The global.properties for example (which is
accessible
 via InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream(/global.properties)
 normally) was not found any more.

 Thanks in advance
 Dominic

I know this too... but it's not the problem what I'm having.

Here is the work flow:

1. select user from list
- executes SelectUserAction that places UserBean in request scope.
- forwards to edituser.jsp.
2. Populate form that is in edituser.jsp from UserBean
- that form has action mapping to UpdateUserAction.
3. Submit form (Update)
- UserForm gets populated and then it's validated by struts by calling
   validate method.
- If validation fails then  go back to edituser.jsp and the problem
arises:
  there is not anymore UserBean in request scope, because
  SelectUserAction is responsible of that and it does not get executed,
  so I get error: No xxx bean in scope null.

So how do I write that form so I can populate it automatically? I mean
that what code I should put in SelectUserAction so I can use tag like this:

html:text property=userName size=14 maxlength=14/

to automatically pre-populate that form, instead of writing code like this:

html:text name=userBean property=userName size=14 maxlength=14/.

Is there some way to put pre-populated form in some scope so that struts
automatically finds it and populates the form (I bet there is, but don't
know
how to do it).

I also included my first mail in this so you can get more specific detail on
this problem.

  I know that this have been asked several times, but I did

Is your struts.jar in your war's WEB-INF/lib? And nowhere else in your

Cant compile my .java files to a class - is it a path issue --

2001-07-25 Thread Chuck Amadi

Hi , I have been posting this problem for a while now - sorry. Albeit i
was on a role until i modified my Action Class. Thus or hell broke
loose. I had got to the stage whereby i had exstablished a connection to
PostgreSQL v6( though posted a bug on PostgreSQL v7.1- same code don't
work) and created a jsp submit form, an jsp extraction database form 
jsp select page .
Nevertheless i have come to a ground halt due to my inquisitiveness . I
have transfered my original classes files but on commencing again , hit
the same hurdle.

my path is
C:\jarkarta-tomcat-3.2.2\webapps\bbnpa\WEB-INF\classes(package
name)\.java file

Thus do i have to implement a base dir above /WEB-INF/  --  example
below --
/bbnpa/helloworld/WEB-INF/classes/helloworld/HelloWorldResources.prperties
/bbnpa/helloworld/WEB-INF/classes/(package name)/.java file
   or
As my path above without the base dir (helloworld)
Note all my other jsp work with my current path set-up except i won't to
utilise form beans instead of html/javascript pages so need to get this
class issue sorted for the next level.


Sorry 4 this long winded Q. Pls Help Cheers Chuck 8^{

Cutom Tag request

2001-07-25 Thread Aapo Laakkonen

html:label/ tag would be nice. What others think? Here is some uses:

html:form action=someAction
html:label property=someProperty/
/html:form

html:form action=someAction
html:label key=someKey/
/html:form

It just prints string values like bean:write tag but does not require name
attribute and cannot be used and associated with form. It also could have
bean:message functionality. I know that this isn't a big issue, but
sometimes
you want to display something in form that is not editable (e.g. Primary
Key).
I know that I can use html:text readonly=true for most cases, but
html:label tag could give you more flexibility.

Feature enhancement - triggering an Action

2001-07-25 Thread Jonathan Asbell



This thread appeared on the list earlier this 
week.

QUESTION - JonathanCan someone tell me if there 
is a way to configure an action to match a pathregardless of how deep it is 
in a directory?ANSWER - TedNo. There is not a way to do this, 
without changing the way Struts isprogrammed to behave. You could request a 
feature change in Bugzilla, andbring it up on the DEV list for 
discussion.==As 
I was experimenting with our struts app I ran into the situation where 
Iwanted a generic "path-indifferent" name to trigger an action. 
Forinstance, in the following three 
cases:"/charts/display.do""/news/display.do"/events/outdoors/display.do"I 
didnt care about anything except the existence of "display.do" 
ANYWHEREat the end of ANY path. In fact, isnt this exactly how the 
servlet istriggered with ".do" This is what I expected, and the 
current Struts designwont let me do this. Do you all think this is an 
important feature? Ireally would like it as it can give a sense that 
the behaviour is common,and saves me time in thinking about how to properly 
trigger that particularaction I was wanting.

DataSource and Factories

2001-07-25 Thread Andreas Leitner


Hi again,

I would like to seperate my buisness logic from the data layer. Say I
have an object Person, that has the fields id, firstName and lastName.
The only constructor I provide is one which takes two arguments (id,
firstName and lastName). The person objects will be stored in a certain
Database, but this may change in the future, this is why I use a
factory. The factory takes an id, connects to the DB, retrieves the
data, creates the Person object and returns it. 

This pattern also comes in handy, when you have classes that inherit
from Person. If the DB access would happen in the constructor, one could
only create Person objects, with a factory, you can create an object of
the real type instead.

Anyway, what I want is to get a DataSource without knowing about a
servlet. Is this somehow possible? Is there some static access to the
DataSource Repository?

Tia,
Andreas

newbie: initial values

2001-07-25 Thread ecn11

Hi.

I apologize for this probably really stupid question, but I was not able to
find a suitable answer anywhere, yet...

In my user management I want to provide a way that the users can change
their address (they are already stored in a database). Thus I need a form
with the old address as initial values.

In other words: There is a session variable UserId. How can the form bean
that is used by edituser.jsp access this userid to adjust it's initial
values.

I can write name = peter; in the constructor of my EditUserForm class.
But I want that the name is taken from a database depending on the UserId of
the session.

public void reset(ActionMapping mapping,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request) seems not to be executed.

Is something like that the right way:

public class EditUserForm extends ActionForm {
protected boolean initialized = false;
protected String name;
String getName() {
if ( !initialized ) doInitialize();
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public void doInitialize() {
name = get Name from Database... (but how can I access the
sessionvariables here?)
initialized = true;
}
}

Is there a new instance of EditUserForm created each time a user accesses
the page?

Multiple checkboxes, same name...

2001-07-25 Thread carmine . lucarelli

Hi all.  Very new to this list and struts, but using it pretty successfully
for
a project at work.  Good looking framework.  Now the question:

I have a form that will list anywhere from 0-9 vehicles.
I have to allow multiple selection of vehicles.

Currently I'm using html:select multiple=true... type
tags, but would like to use checkboxes, so would the
following work?

Create a bean with name/value pairs for each vehicle and
do a logic:iterate... tag and generate an html:multibox...
for each entry (the selected vehicles are an array in a form bean).

The above sounds pretty reasonable, but I'm unsure how
to get it to work.  Specifically, how to get the proper value=
attribute in the multibox tag:

!-- vehicles is a page-scope hashtable --
logic:iterate id=entry name=vehicles
  ** how to get the key property of 'entry' into value attrib? **
  html:multibox property=principalOperators value=???
bean:write name=entry property=value/
  /html:multibox
/logic:iterate

Thanks in advance,

Dont do it this way. Implement an Action which fills the form with values.

What I usually (I use struts one month :-) do in such edit something
situations:

I create I an EditTgingActionForm with properties 
 a) the key properties
 b) the dependent properties 
 c) optional - a boolean indicator isEditing

I create an EditThingAction which:
 d) checks to see, whether the form has been filled from HTTP
 (which means: b) properties are filled and c) is true)
if so, then it performs the updates. If not, no updates.

 e) fills the properties b) from the database using the key properties a).


In my JSP which leads to that action, i use parametrized link:
  a href=editthing.do?id=BLA  (generated with html:link)
  
As you see, properties b) or c) are not supplied, so the Action
knows, there is nothing to be updated, it just retrieves the data.

editthing.do then forward to a JSP, which displays the retrieved 
data and when submitted (again to editthing.do) EditThingAction
know, it has to update the data.

Re: Refresh button and Back button

2001-07-25 Thread Bud Gibson

The back button problem is standard.  You need to use a token to prevent 
sensitive form resubmission.  This is documented in Geary's Advanced JSP 
book and Core J2EEE patterns.  They are both put out by Sun.

In short, tokens allow you to determine whether the page should be 
processed in the normal way.  You include a token in the request and 
save a copy in the session.  When the page is submitted, you check that 
they match.  If so, you can do normal processing.  If not, you need to 
decide what to do.

Struts supports tokens, but the implementation is opaque (IMHO). 
Geary's book provides a good treatment.  However, there is an error in 
the code he uses to check tokens (don't have book in front right now, so 
can't spell it out).  I think he does not check all the cases he says he 
does.  At any rate, the code is in the book for the test tokens tag he 
develops.  Even if you used the Struts implementation, you would have to 
use his logic.

RE: Multiple checkboxes, same name...

2001-07-25 Thread Mark Schenk

 Hi all.  Very new to this list and struts, but using it pretty
 successfully
 for
 a project at work.  Good looking framework.  Now the question:

[snip]

 The above sounds pretty reasonable, but I'm unsure how
 to get it to work.  Specifically, how to get the proper value=
 attribute in the multibox tag:

 !-- vehicles is a page-scope hashtable --
 logic:iterate id=entry name=vehicles
   ** how to get the key property of 'entry' into value attrib? **
   html:multibox property=principalOperators value=???
 bean:write name=entry property=value/
   /html:multibox
 /logic:iterate


Hello Carmine,

you've almost answered your own question: if you want the value to be
calculated during the iteration, leave the value parameter off! In this case
struts will use the body of the html:multibox tag as the value. So:

 logic:iterate id=entry name=vehicles
   html:multibox property=principalOperators
 bean:write name=entry property=value/
   /html:multibox
 /logic:iterate

does what you want.

Cheers,
Mark

Hi , again i have been told that these type of queries/problems should
be directed at java-user group. Thus i shall subscribe i only know the
basic fundamentals to java thus i find it misleading when one who has a
problem trying to construct a web development project that contains
Controller components that struts includes  promotes with it's servlets
that implements the Action.class that this is the wrong group as the
Building Controller Components is fundamental to MVC.
So apologize for posting so many queries but this user group did get up

RE: Struts on IBM WAS 4.0 - Error removing attributes from reques t sc ope!

2001-07-25 Thread Brugge, John

Pardon my skepticism, but from all appearances, the WAS 4.0 GA release is
out (nothing on the IBM WebSphere site says that the 4.0 you can now
download is beta), and this particular issue is *not* resolved. The
antiquated version of Jasper is still included. And from the response to my
question about this on this list a month ago or so, just dropping in a new
Jasper is not something that's likely to happen quickly. If this issue was
just brought to their attention a couple of weeks ago (meaning that they
didn't know about it), I wouldn't hold my breath on a quick resolution.

I'd love to see the fix appear in a fixpack (and soon) but we tried out 4.0
as soon as it was released the end of June, primarily to see if this issue
was resolved, and were disappointed.

 I have included the code in the next section of the e-mail.  In summary,
 
 using WAS 4.0, attributes are not removed from request scope.
 
 This conflicts most directly with the struts framework class,
 org.apache.struts.taglib.html.FormTag.  FormTag calls
 pageContext.removeAttribute(Constants.BEAN_KEY,
 PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE)
 and pageContext.removeAttribute(Constants.FORM_KEY,
 PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE) within the doEndTag() method.

 Replacing the removeAttribute(String s, int i) method calls with
 removeAttribute(String s) within the struts class, FormTag.doEndTag()
 relieves the exception, but on WAS 4.0, it will not remove the
 attribute!

One of the - more complicated - solutions is to set up Java Naming and
Directory services (JNDI, see the documentation that comes with JDK1.3).
Using JNDI you can hide the details of connecting to your database(s) in a
DataSource object you store in the naming service.
Sun provides us with a com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory class
that provides a filesystem naming service.

how to add property to DataSource

2001-07-25 Thread Zeltser, Mark

Hello,

I am trying to add  property to DataSource object. There is addProperty(
String, String) method that I used but it had no affect. My impression is
that all connections are initialized after ActionServlet is loaded ( I
extended ActionServlet and added properties after calling super.init())

I tried to override registrations[] array to point to my local
struts-config_1_0.dtd but call to super.init() will invoke ActionServlet's
registration[].

What is the right strategy to use addProperty of DataSource object?

Thanks,

Mark.

Problem initializing (pre-selected) html:select multiple=true

Hello,

I have a problem with multiple html:select struts tag initialization.
I am unable to initialize the select tag with the values i retrieve
from my database.

I have a JSP with
- a html:select multiple who will retrieve the selected compagnies I
choose.
- a html:options containing all the compagnies in my database

I have in the Form associated with this JSP :
- an attribut rattacheInitialChoisi who retrieve a String[] of compagnies
already choosen
- an attribut listeSociete who retrieve a ArrayList of all compagnies
- an attribut rattacheSocieteChoisie who will retreive a String[] of the
new chosen compagnies

All these attributs are correctly initialized (I saw this in my logs files)

But I am unable to initialize the selected elements of my html:select list
in the jsp thanks to the rattacheInitialChoisi attribut (pre-selected the
select list when the jsp appears)

Has anyone experimented this and have an idea of how to do so ???

Info info = (Info)context.getAttribute(host);
if (info == null)

RE: Struts on IBM WAS 4.0 - Error removing attributes from reques t sc ope!

2001-07-25 Thread Mark Wilson

Hi John (or others using struts on IBM WAS),

I was wondering if you have come accross any other negative implications
besides the nasty show stopping Exception from using struts on WAS.
(work-around provided earlier in thread) 

In particular I am concerned that struts makes calls to PageContext -
removeAttribute(String s), while in the Jasper code used by IBM, this will
remove page scope attributes only.  Primarily, I am concerned with the
struts class, taglib.logic.IterateTag, which appears to be written to
iterate through attributes at any scope. 

Any heads-up about struts on IBM is much appreciated.

Thanks a lot,
Mark

Re: DataSource and Factories

2001-07-25 Thread Bud Gibson

This looks interesting, but I am not sure how I would use it.

Would the strategy be to set up an action to run when the application is 
loaded?  Would the action then obtain a reference to the data source and 
stow it in some repository using JNDI for use by the persistenc layer?

That is the solution we think will work.  Is this different from that?

Thanks,
Bud

DataSource can be obtained either Deployment descriptor as
java:comp/jdbc/MyDataSource
(associate a Jndi name to the Datasource
)





RE: application scope problem

2001-07-25 Thread DHarty

Hopefully someone will be able to elaborate on this, but I don't believe you
can't use
jsp:useBean id=info scope=application class=myPackages.Info/
interchangablby with struts bean tags.

You should be able to use:

bean:define id=info scope=application name=host /

then, to display:

bean:write name=info property=base/

Also, make sure that you are putting the bean host into the application
scope in you java code.

Hi everybody,I was looking for a solution for the all time favorite 
"Caching Problem" (in IE).I found a couple of "solutions, like:

1) Having the following lines in the JSP:response.setHeader("Pragma", 
"NoCache");response.setHeader("Cache-Control", 
"no-cache");response.setDateHeader("Expires", 1);

2) Turning "nocache" on for the 
ActionServlet:init-param 
param-namenocache/param-name 
param-valuetrue/param-value/init-param

3) Adding an unique parameter to the get/post, like 
System.currentTimeMillis()

Re: application scope problem

2001-07-25 Thread David Winterfeldt

I'm not sure exactly how the jsp:useBean looks for the
class you specify, but since you are initializing the
class from the ActionServlet it would be safe to
assume it is there so you don't really need the
jsp:useBean.  So you should be able to do just this.

pContext Bean: bean:write name=host
scope=application property=base//p

If you weren't sure if the bean existed, you could
check for it with the logic:present tag.

Subject: Struts on IBM WAS 4.0 - Error removing attributes from request
sc ope!


Hello, thanks for you're attention.

I am deploying the struts-example app on IBM Websphere App Server 4.0
and
receive an IllegalArgumentException - Can't remove attribute from
request
scope.


the situation:

I have drilled into the problem and discovered that IBM is using a
significantly different implementation of the class,
org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.  Their class alters the logic

of
removing attributes using the methods removeAttribute(String s, int i)
and
removeAttribute(String s).

I have included the code in the next section of the e-mail.  In summary,

using WAS 4.0, attributes are not removed from request scope.

This conflicts most directly with the struts framework class,
org.apache.struts.taglib.html.FormTag.  FormTag calls
pageContext.removeAttribute(Constants.BEAN_KEY,
PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE)
and pageContext.removeAttribute(Constants.FORM_KEY,
PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE) within the doEndTag() method.

Either of these method calls will generate an IllegalArgumentException
on
WAS 4.0.


the code (more or less):

org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl (note:  not the same code as
used
in tomcat's implementation...)

public void removeAttribute(String s, int i)
{
switch (i)
{
case PAGE_SCOPE:
pageScopeAttributes.remove(s);
break;

case REQUEST_SCOPE:
throw new IllegalArgumentException(Can't remove Attributes
from
request scope);

case SESSION_SCOPE:
if (session == null)
throw new IllegalArgumentException(Can't access
SESSION_SCOPE without an HttpSession);
theSession.removeAttribute(s);
break;

case APPLICATION_SCOPE:
theContext.removeAttribute(s);
break;
}
}


// and ...

   public void removeAttribute(String s)
{
pageScopeAttributes.remove(s);
}

   // (pageScopeAttributes is a Hashtable of objects stored at Page
scope
only!)


a partial solution:

Replacing the removeAttribute(String s, int i) method calls with
removeAttribute(String s) within the struts class, FormTag.doEndTag()
relieves the exception, but on WAS 4.0, it will not remove the
attribute!
(in fact, only attributes found in page scope will be removed when the
method, removeAttribute(String s) is called.)


testing results:

Even though the attributes weren't removed from the request scope, those

attributes were replaced by new objects the next time.  This didn't seem

to
affect the observable behavior of the struts example application.


the question(s):

We really, really want to use struts on WAS 4.0.  There seems to be some

logic within struts that relates to null attributes.

Changes to values in Form get lost on forward

Hi,
I'm sure, this question has arised before, but I's quite hard
to find it in the archive. However, this question is rather short,
so I hope someone can have a short answer to it.

My problem comes up, when I do the following:
1)in YYYAction.perform I set a field of the form to a new value,like 
System.out.println(importantString before= + myForm.getImportantString());
myForm.setImportantString(The new value);
System.out.println(importantString after= + myForm.getImportantString());
2)then I forward to ZZZAction, (this action uses the same form in the action mapping) 
3)ZZZAction.perform:  
-retrieves some values from the database and populates the form
-then forwards to the JSP, that displays the form data

In step 1), I see an output like:
importantString before=A cup of tea
importantString after=The new value

But when I look at my JSP, I still see A cup of tea as the value!

Could anybody please tell me, what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks, Holger





Struts Scalability in a Large Production Environment

2001-07-25 Thread Brian . Duchouquette

All,

I have been doing a lot of research into Struts recently.   My question is
about performance and scalability.  First the definitions:

Performance = good response time to users

Scalability = good response time to a large number of simultaneous users.
Usually this is a logarithmic curve that reaches a point where the server
has   difficulty sustaining the load.

Struts will only be used for presentation logic.  My Action classes in this
framework will access separate business objects that will then access a BEA
application server to perform the necessary business logic (EJB's) and
return the results.  This will be a large production environment with a
large number of simultaneous users if we decide to implement this way.  The
Web servers will be load balanced.   Even so, I don't want to implement a
framework which requires me to throw a bunch of hardware at it after all is
said and done.

Does someone have some practical experience of the performance and
scalability of the Struts framework with an overhead of 100 simultaneous
users?  What about 1000?

Is there any kind of advice that anyone can offer me before I head down
this path in relation to scalability?

Thanks,
Brian

Yes, WAS 4.0 is a big step forward in usability. However, if you look
closely at the struts.jar file that is ships with, it's Struts 0.5.

That notwithstanding, the console looks like a pretty sophisticated app.
Probably not trivial for them to move it to Struts 1.0.

 I had no problems with our test run with WAS 4.0 using the modified

 Frankly, I feel like WAS 4.0 is a dream-come true as far as usability and
 administration.  Yeah, Java isn't up to spec, but what else is new.  At
 least it is easier to maintain. 
 
 Our struts app deployed flawlessly from the EAR file without any extra
 manipulation from me outside of using their Application Assembly tool (ie.
 no moving WEB-INF, no pulling out DTD's, nadda). :D
 
 Be that as it may, our app didn't work 100%, but I am pretty sure that was
 an unrelated issue (IIS wasn't configured properly).

Re: Problem initializing (pre-selected) html:select multiple=true

2001-07-25 Thread dhay



Hi.   If you want Struts to display values pre-selected, you should leave off
the value= on the select tag altogether.

I haven't tried it with multiple=true, but use  html:select
property=category to display the value I previously assigned in my form
under category.  Would assume it would work with multiple=true too...

Cheers,

Dave

Subject:  Problem initializing (pre-selected)  html:select multiple=true



Hello,

I have a problem with multiple html:select struts tag initialization.
I am unable to initialize the select tag with the values i retrieve
from my database.

I have a JSP with
 - a html:select multiple who will retrieve the selected compagnies I
choose.
 - a html:options containing all the compagnies in my database

I have in the Form associated with this JSP :
 - an attribut rattacheInitialChoisi who retrieve a String[] of compagnies
already choosen
 - an attribut listeSociete who retrieve a ArrayList of all compagnies
 - an attribut rattacheSocieteChoisie who will retreive a String[] of the
new chosen compagnies

All these attributs are correctly initialized (I saw this in my logs files)

But I am unable to initialize the selected elements of my html:select list
in the jsp thanks to the rattacheInitialChoisi attribut (pre-selected the
select list when the jsp appears)

Has anyone experimented this and have an idea of how to do so ???
HELP 

Here is my code
--
SiteDetailForm.java

private ArrayList listeSociete = new ArrayList() ;
private String[] rattacheSocieteChoisie= new String[0];
private String[] rattacheInitialChoisi = new String[0] ;

I have a couple of questions about your mods.  At our site we are using a 
different set of modifications, posted by some other Struts user which 
seems to accomplish the same thing as your mods.  The major difference 
seems to be that yours requires an additional attribute to specify that the 
particular input field is to use an indexed property accessor.  I'm curious 
as to why you made this choice?  The mods we are using automatically use an 
indexed accessor if the input field is contained inside of an iterate 
tag.  Do you have an example of when you would have an input field inside 
of an iterate tag when you wouldn't want to use an indexed property 
name?  (I'm not trying to argue with your decision, just trying to get a 
better understanding of your thoughts).  The other issue, which we just 
came across today, with the other indexed property mod, is that it would 
fail to work correctly if you had iterators inside of iterators.  We had a 
case where we used an iterator to access a collection of beans, and then 
iterated over the contents of each of the beans.  The resultant HTML needed 
to look like this to work correctly:

input type=text name=firstTable[n].secondTable[m].propertyName

Will your mods handle nested iterators correctly?

Finally, are your mods going to be part of the official build, or are they 
included in some sort of user supplied extensions?  I missed the original 
discussion about your modifications.

Trying to add errors to an existing errors object after using the validation framework

2001-07-25 Thread Scott Ryan

I am using the Validation Framework within struts and I need to perform
some validations that I cannot do using the framework.  I have created
an ActionForm
that extends ValidatorForm and in my validate method I first call
super.validate. Once the errors have been returned I then perform my own
additonal validations
and add to the errors object returned from the super.validate.  I then
return the errors object from my validate routine.  All appears to work
ok if I use the standard
struts errors tags to present the errors on the page.  However if I use
the tags that come with the validator i get the following exception only
when processing errors
that I created:

Re: Trying to add errors to an existing errors object after using the validation framework

2001-07-25 Thread Scott Ryan

Problem Solved:

After rooting around in my ApplicationResources.properties file I found
a misspelling in my message name.  I would have expected the framework
to catch the error in the lookup similar to what happens in other areas
of struts when a message resource cannot be found.  Typically a message
tells you that XXX.title could not be found.  Perhaps this test is done
within the validation framework and my bypass caused an unforseen
problem.

Form declaration inside logic:equal tags

2001-07-25 Thread Yuriy Zubarev

Hello everyone,

I was just wondering why I cannot use a code like this:

logic:equal name=userForm property=action value=Profile
  html:form action=/saveUserProfile
/logic:equal

logic:notEqual name=userForm property=action value=Profile
  html:form action=/saveUser
/logic:notEqual

I always get exception:

Non-matching extension tags probably occurred due to 
an error in /user.jsp line 60: /logic:equal 

I have a lot of logic:equal tags on my page and they worked
fine untill I tried to wrap html:form inside them.

Thank you for your time.

Best of luck,

Hi James,

Thanks for your note - made me think a bit!

Would be interested in knowing more about the other indexed tags that were
posted and you are using.  I know either Jeff Trent or Martin Cooper had
produced some tags which had a different name ie IndexedXXXTag.

I believe the mods we have are based on those posted by Niall 
Pemberton.  In those mods, a handful of HTML tags had their doStartTag() 
method modified to be changed from:

results.append( name=\);
results.append(this.property);

to

results.append( name=\);
results.append(propertyName());

where propertyName() was implemented like this:

protected String propertyName() {
 IterateTag iterateTag = (IterateTag) findAncestorWithClass(this, 
IterateTag.class);
 return iterateTag == null
 ? this.property
 : iterateTag.getProperty() + [ + 
iterateTag.getIndex() + ]. + this.property;
}

In the original mods that we had, the getProperty method of IterateTag 
simply returned the property field value.  I modified it to invoke a 
propertyName() method whose implementation is the same as that given 
above.  This allows for a recursive buildup of indexed property fields when 
an HTML tag is included inside of any number of nested iterate tags.

Re: calling actionmapping from a URL

2001-07-25 Thread Ted Husted

The ActionMapping has a property for validation. To call the Action
without validation, set 

validate=false

in your ActionMapping. 

An Action is not a servlet, and you cannot call it directly from an URL.
In every case, the request is passed to the ActionServlet by the
container. The ActionServlet determines which Action to use by referring
to the ActionMappings. So in the example case, you must have mapping
named myaction, or else it could not be called. You may wish to set
validate=false for that mapping, and leave it at true for the others.

If there is some other type of validation occuring in your Action, which
you put in yourself, you could check the mapping object passed to
perform() to see if validation should be used or not.

Re: Empty Page returned after Action executed

2001-07-25 Thread Bill Clinton

Hello,

I have had this problem when I reference a forward that doesn't exist in 
my config file.

You mention that your action returns a reference to continue: 
(mapping.findForward(continue))

But your line in your struts-config is:
forward name=success path=/shipsum.jsp/

rename your forward to continue or return a reference to success 
like this: (mapping.findForward(success))

 I'm new to Struts (V1.0) and I'm stuck on what I think is a simple example.
 
 I have an Action and an ActionForm bean that do pretty much nothing. Action

 and the ActionForm bean has one attribute, title.
 
 What's happening is that when I execute the action (using html:link
 page=/shipsum.do), the JSP associated with the action is not being
 displayed.  There are no errors, just an empty HTML page with an empty
 body.  Here are the form-bean and action entries I use in my config
 file:
 
 form-bean name=summaryForm type=com.mim.pilot2.SummaryForm/
 
 action path=/shipsum
 type=com.mim.pilot2.SummaryAction
 name=summaryForm
 scope=request
 input=/shipsum.jsp /
 
 Note that by using System.out I have verified that my SummaryAction class is
 being executed.
 
 And... it also does not work if I specify forward as shown below:
 action path=/shipsum
 type=com.mim.pilot2.SummaryAction
 name=summaryForm
 scope=request
 input=/shipsum.jsp 
   forward name=success path=/shipsum.jsp/
 /action
 
 But... if I use the entry:
 action path=/shipsum forward=/shipsum.jsp /
 shipsum.jsp is displayed correctly.
 
 Under what conditions does Struts return an empty HTML page?  Can someone
 spot my error?

Re: Encodings on form submits?

2001-07-25 Thread Martin Cooper

I know this is an old post, but better late than never... :-)

We are doing the following:

1) Specify the content type for the JSP output:

%@ page contentType=text/html; charset=utf-8 %

You can also do this by setting the content type header manually, using
response.setContentType().

2) Specify the content type to the browser:

meta http-equiv=content-type content=text/html; charset=utf-8

3) Specify the default content type to the container. In our case, we are
using Resin, and so do this:

web-app id='/' character-encoding='utf-8' ... 

The first ensures that the JSP page is treated as UTF-8, which can represent
all the characters you need. The second ensures that the browser knows that.
Since the browser uses the encoding of the page to send form data,
submissions will now use UTF-8. The third ensures that the container
interprets all submissions as UTF-8.

Other than figuring it out in the first place :-) we have had no problems
with this. We can correctly display, and interpret input, in any language -
Chinese, Japanese, European languages, etc.

 Folks,

 I'm struggling with how to handle form submissions with non-Latin
character
 encodings using a Struts action and form beans.

 As I understand it, browsers use the character encoding of the form's page
 (hex-encoded) for submitting form parameters. I've seen plenty of code to
 convert request parameters by hand, e.g.

 try
 {
 return new String(inParam.getBytes(8859_1), encoding);
 }
 catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e)
 {
 return inParam;
 }

 ... but this implies that you know the character encoding. Until Servlet
2.3
 is standard, you can't just say request.setEncoding ().

 So: how to do this in Struts? Ultimately, what I need is my form beans to
 have their Strings set properly.

 I can think of a few ways.

 (1) Let the form bean handle it on set () methods for Strings. Every form
 class could extend a base class with a decodeString (), and every form
class
 could call this method.

 I'm not thrilled about this, since it'd be easy to forget and it's a lot
of
 extra coding on every set call.

 (2) Modify Struts to do this automatically. This isn't trivial, since the
 calls to populate beans
 are buried pretty deeply in ActionServlet, RequestUtils, and BeanUtils.

 In either case, the handler (whether Struts utils or the beans themselves)
 would need to know the encoding to use! The best I can come up with is
that
 every form would embed a hidden parameter encoding -- this is how
iPlanet
 handles this, they have a j_encoding parameter on forms which tells the
 handler how to decode params. (I could modify html:form to do this
 automatically, too ...)

 Thoughts?

 Thanks,
 Ben

Re: Error with Data Sources

2001-07-25 Thread Edward Muller

Okay. I figured out that data-sources needs to go at the tope and I
removed the set-property tags and actually made the properties.

I am using postgres 7.1 something. 

Now when I start my sample application I get a ClassNotFoundException.
I've checked and postgresql.jar from my postgres install is in my apps
WEF-INF/lib directory. 

I've got the application working by establishing my own connections and
not using the pool, so I know I can talk to JDBC and it can load the
driver.

But I can't seem to get the strut-pool stuff to load it

Can anyone point out my stupid mistake?

Here is my data-sources section:

data-sources
  data-source
autoCommit=false
driverClass=org.postgresql.Driver
maxCount=4
minCount=2
password=whatever
url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost/LPC
user=edwardam /

Re: Missing type on declaration - any poniters 1 error left

2001-07-25 Thread Calvin Yu


I think your compiler can't find the initial class declaration.  Chances
are your actual syntax error occured before that line.  Make sure you
don't have too many '}' and that you're making a valid class
declaration.

It seems that a lot of your problems has more to do with your
understanding of Java than with Struts.  You might want to check out
some general java language message groups, as they might be better at
explaining the problems you are experiencing.

RE: Missing type on declaration - any poniters 1 error left

You need to close the brace on your class declaration I believe.

Like this:

  public class ActionForward {
 
public perform(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
  HttpServletRequest request,
  HttpServletResponse response)
{
  try {
  javax.sql.DataSource dataSource =
  servlet.findDataSource(null);
  java.sql.Connection myConnection =
  dataSource.getConnection();
 
  //do what you wish with myConnection
  } catch (SQLException sqle) {
  getServlet().log(Connection.process, sqle);
  } finally {
 
  //enclose this in a finally block to make
  //sure the connection is closed
  try {
  myConnection.close();
  } catch (SQLException e) {
  getServlet().log(Connection.close, e);
  }
  }
  }
 } -- Add this brace here

Nic,

I've removed your name from the to-do sections per your request. However, I
hope we'll still see your comments and suggestions in these areas as they
develop.

Regarding workflow, I look forward to hearing your thoughts on handling
multi-page forms, and how this might relate to a more general workflow

Subject: Re: Workflow impasse? and more



 Hi All,

 Well I've finally got around to moving my struts subscriptions to a
 different address so I can setup rules etc to manage the number of mails
on
 the lists! Moving them away from my work mail address is a good thing...

 So why am I telling you all this? Well I , like Craig T, signed up for
 several areas on the 1.1 Todo list a while back and like Craig have been
 busy with work and being away on holiday and training. So keeping up with
 the volume of mail has been difficult let alone contributing anything
 constructive. So I, like Craig, am going to have to cut down what I am
 involved in to make it fair to others and be able to contribute properly
 without spreading myself too thin. So I am going to back out of the
 following areas for the following reasons:

  Standard Validations  Client Side Validations - because I have not
 done the work I expected to in this area and therefore feel I probably
 shouldn't buttin on these!
  EJB Design Patterns  - for similar reasons. Although I have been
 working with EJBs I think there are others who are better qualified to
lead
 this piece.


  I will of course contribute where possible to these areas but feel I
 am unable to lead them or take a direct role in designing/writing these.


  Which leaves the following:
   Multi-page form support - I think this really may tie in with
the
 Workflow processing
   Workflow processing - I am working on workflow at the moment
from
 a 'backend' perspective i.e. at the EJB layer which I hope will help
cement
my ideas for the Struts workflow. More on this later.
   Role-based Action Execution - I have been looking at JAAS and
 security in general and need to look into the specs a bit more to
 understand   what _must_ be supported by containers and what
 _tends_ to be supported before we make a decision on exactly where to go
 withthis. Again more later.

 I hope this will enable to contribute more than I have in the past and get
 things moving. Apologies for anyone expecting me to take the others areas
 through to completion.

 So on to  Workflow.
  As Ted suggests I also believe the fundamentals are there in the
 framework already. There have been several discussions about exactly what
 the workflow piece is but I think Ted's implications are the best. I don't
 think we are trying to design something that is a GUI nor are we trying to
 make something that conforms to standards which are in their infancy. This
 is not to say that support for products ( I think Visio for instance was
 suggested) should not come later but I think this is in addition to the
 underlying functionality which is to link Actions together to form a
 business process with pre- and post-requirements. This is where the
thought
 on the multi-page forms comes in. I have been thinking about this a lot
 lately and have a few ways of doing this which when I cement them a little
 more will post here.

 I think we need to get down a solid set of requirements ( I think Ted's
are
 a good start) and be clear what we are trying to achieve (I have tried to
 outline my view above) before we can proceed and I will take a proper look
 at the code examples Ted outlines in his mail. Much of the discussion so
 far has been on several tracks all under the global term 'workflow'.
 (Please don't take any of this as criticism - I am aware I haven't
 contributed much up until now - just observations and an attempt to get
 this going). So any comments on what we are trying to achieve and how?
(and
 I am waiting for the slap too... ;)

 And then the security thing

 I have been primarily working with BEA Weblogic and working on a banking
 system so security has been key. We have had various discussions with BEA
 and finally got some answers so I have  a clear idea of how BEA do things
 and how we may be able to fit this in to struts. What is currently not
 clear and Craig M has alluded to before is that the specs aren't really
 explicit in this area and each application server tends to do things in
its
 own way. So I intend to look at the specs a little more to see what they
 should at least all support and then work on whether we want to link
 something into that or produce a struts specific implementation ( which
 obviously should abstract things so that people can plug in their app
 server specific stuff if necessary, although Struts is unlikely, at least
 at this stage,

Commercial support for Struts

2001-07-25 Thread Hartley, Justin R

Hi

I'm looking at using Struts for a large project but the organisation is not
keen on open-source, mainly because they like to be able to point at a
company when something goes wrong or help is needed. Personally, I have a
lot of confidence in the support available for this particular open-source
project but I am having a hard time convincing our organisation.

Does anyone know of a company that provides commercial support for Struts?
Alternatively, anyone have any other suggestions??

I'm really looking forward to sinking my teeth into Struts so I hope a
solution is found soon.

Justin Hartley
