RE: out tag inside html:text tag
Try using the struts-el tag library
It's an extension of the struts taglib that allows you to use JSTL EL
So you example becomes...
html-el:text style=${styleVar} .../

Subject: c:out tag inside html:text tag
Hi...I am facing some problems with using JSTL tags inside struts tags.
This is the piece of code I wrote for my application:
html:text
name=Customer
property =Name
maxlength=256
size=256
style=c:out value=${styleVar}/
/
the problem is that it is getting traslated to
html:text
name=w_CustomerWin
property =wca_Name
maxlength=256
size=256
style=width:100;height:22;position:absolute;top:20;left:56;display:none;
/
in the final html page!!
can anybody please tell me why the html:text tag is not getting translated
to input type=text . ?
thank you..
Rahul Mohan

iteration and EL help needed
This is the problem I am trying to solve.
I want to submit a DynaValidatorForm with multiple hidden/text inputs that
have the same name. This is a list of items and quantities that I am trying
to update with one submit (e.g. itemId, quantity). Is this what the
'indexed' input attribute is supposed to help with? Will the validator
understand how to apply the rule for itemId to every indexed instance of
itemId? Will DynaValidatorForm receive an array of itemIds and quantities?
Since the items are stored in a collection, I want to iterate over them,
outputting the input fields. With c:forEach, I get an exception that the
indexed attribute is not supported. With logic-el:iterate, I get a name
attribute that looks like
name=org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN[1].itemId - that doesn't look
right at all.
I am using Struts 1.1rel (and the struts-el JAR in the contrib dir) with
JSTL 1.0 in Resin 2.x.x.
Has anyone seen behavior like this and know how I can fix it?
Or am I barking up the wrong tree trying to submit my form in this fashion?
Here's a bit of the JSP code...
%--c:forEach var=item items=${context_tray.items} varStatus=idx--%
logic-el:iterate id=item name=context_tray property=items
indexId=idx
html-el:hidden property=itemId value=${item.id}
indexed=true/
html-el:text property=quantity
value=${context_tray.itemQuantityMap[item]} size=2 indexed=true/
br
/logic-el:iterate
%--/c:forEach--%

Looks like there is a functional change or bug in the action input attribute in Struts 1.1 - a forward name must be used instead of the location of a JSP or Action.

RE: form validation question
orderForm was extending DynaValidatorForm. I changed this to DynaValidatorActionForm - now the form validates (though it shouldn't - there's a required field missing).

RE: Valid Regexp for MM/dd/yyyy matching in a string?
Looks like it should work, you might need to escape the slashes.
It's easy enough to test either by using grep on the command line (which is
not the best test since there are differences btw Unix regexp and Java
regexp) or by writing a test class that uses the ORO library (Validator
doesn't use the Java regexp package) or by using the ORO test applet at
http://jakarta.apache.org/oro/demo.html.

The main difference from RC2,1.1 Final and earlier versions starting from RC1 is (from release notes): In RC2, the Commons-DBCP and Commons-Pool dependencies have been removed. These are replaced with a dependency on the Struts-Legacy package, containing the GenericDataSource and GenericConnection classes from Struts 1.0.2. These are distributed for J2SE 1.3 but may be recompiled for J2SE 1.4. Other DataSource implementations may be plugged in (recommended). RC2 is dependent upon Commons FileUpload RC1. The final release of Struts 1.1 cannot happen until this dependency is updated to a final release of FileUpload. All other dependencies are in their final release. Other changes since RC1 have been routine fixes and refactorings. I have tried using DBCP and General methods of connecting using the mysql driver and both will not work.

Subject: is Component a reserved word?
Hi,
I am not sure if this is a struts, taglib, or jstl issue but I will
start here. I am using Struts/JSP's and am running into an error when I
try and reference my own object called Component.class with c:out
tag. I first load my test objects into the session in the jsp page like
this:
%
x.y.z.Component component = new x.y.z.Component();
x.y.z.Xomponent xomponent = new x.y.z.Xomponent();
session.setAttribute(comp2,component);
session.setAttribute(xomp2,xomponent);
%
Next I try and view the value of the name like this:
c:out value=${comp2.name}/
Here is the error I am getting:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: An error occurred while evaluating
custom action attribute value with value ${comp2.name}: An error
occurred while getting property name from an instance of class
x.y.z.Component (java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: object is not an
instance of declaring class)
I have played around with this a bit and set up a small test
environment. Here is my application list:
Tomcat 4.1.18
Struts 1.1 rc1
Java 1.3.1_06-b01
I have found that I can use the Runtime JSTL core tag like this and it
works fine:
crt:out
value=%=((Component)session.getAttribute(comp2)).getName()%/
I can also use the jsp:useBean tag like this and it works fine:
jsp:getProperty name=comp1 property=name/
I have also found that if I take the exact same class and simply rename
it to Xomponent instead of Component and keep it in the same x.y.z
package, it works. So I can then do:
c:out value=${xomp2.name}/
Any ideas on this? I have my very small test beans and jsp page if
someone needs them.
Thanks,
John

RE: is Component a reserved word?
java.awt.Component would be looked for first (since it is part of the
bootclasspath) - you'd need a way to tell the reflection what class comp2
is. you might have to workaround this with a scriplet instead of the
${comp2.name}

Old Way: I had written a connection pool and instantiated an instance of this that was passed to all methods that needed the db, and they they had the sql code embedded in the methods. New Way that I'm working on: I've set up a DataSource for my jdbc connection, and I'm partitioning off all of the database access code into it's own package. If my business logic needs database info, it calls a method from the database access package to get it. My problem: Many methods from the database access return simple data. However, I currently have it written so that some of the more complex ones return a ResultSet, which I'm not really happy with. This exposes the DB layer to the business logic, but I'm not totally sure what the best way to avoid this is. In addition, this doesn't work :( because the underlying connection gets closed when the database access method exists, and the ResultSet is no longer valid. SO, I am wondering what people do when they need to return all of the data in a ResultSet to their business layer. Do you have to go to the hassle of copying everything to some sort of data structure, or is there a better, cleaner, faster way to handle this? (I'm kind of assuming that the ResultSet will be small enough to fit in memory and there won't be issues with pulling it in in pieces; how would that be handled, though?)

using images and modules
I would like to use modules but keep my images directory in the same place for the whole webapp. I have no problem getting images into JSPs used by main module actions. They use relative paths where src=images/ This resolves to webapp/images. In order to use the same relative paths with modules, I have to modify my JSPs to use src=../images since my modules are down one level in the hierarchy. Is there a way to avoid needing to do this by telling the module it's root is the root of the webapp (not the root of the module)? html:base is not the answer since that's page specific I tried using src=/images/... but that ignored the webapp in the URL (so images were being looked for in server/images instead of server/webapp/images). My structure Main module: webapp/*.do Another module: webapp/admin/*.do Pages used by modules: webapp/web/*.jsp Images: webapp/images/*.gif This also applies to CSS and JS files which I have in their own dirs.

The BeanUtils lib was out-of-date and had fixed a bug around this. Updating

RE: Struts productivity metrics?
I'll take a stab @ yr questions: 1) What's the typical ramp-up time for an average developer? How long until they become fully productive vs. 'just capable'? What's the most effective way to bring someone up-to-speed? I started with Struts as a skilled Java dev with JSP/servlet experience and no Struts experience. It took me less than a week to get up to speed (a couple days to get the jist a few more days to get things really working, since then I've just been improving my understanding of how things work under-the-hood and how to maximize the benefits from Struts). When I started there weren't any books out yet. Now that there are, throw the O'Reilly bk at them (or yr fav) and have them read the chapters about the architectural design. Then they can use existing projects or book examples to see how it's done. 2) What's the suggested team size / structure and experience mix? Our team is 3 devs, 2 doing work on a single (but separate) Struts projects, the 3rd co-ordinating and adding to both. 3) On a per page or use case basis, how long does it take for an easy/medium/complex module to be developed? How does that compare with other frameworks/approaches you've used in the past? A little less time since the foundation is laid for you. The real benefit comes when you have to add functionality to the app - it becomes much easier since you just add another action or modify the flow in action x. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

responding to session timeouts
This isn't a Struts-specific question, but i'm figuring someone here might know the answer... Is there a way to know when a session times-out and respond to that? (like an event being fired or and having a servlet acting as a listener) There's some cleanup that I need to do in the case that a user does not complete their transaction (e.g. they shut their browser down leaving the system state incomplete). In this case, I'd like to have a background object (servlet, thread, whatever) do some cleaning up when the session times-out.

a question about transaction tokens
I'm wondering how these are used. They're not mentioned in the O'Reilly book

execute code in an isTokenValid block to check for an existing token?
For example...
execute(...) {
generateToken(request);
if(!isTokenValid(request)) {
// do action stuff
}
else
return ???what???

To implement is pretty straight forward
Action A -- generate token route to JSP A
JSP A routes to Action B -- In action B call isTokenValid
if you want to continue Token validation call saveToken then
route to JSP C.
JSP C then routes to Action C -- call isTokenValid then call saveToken
route to JSP D
If you want to stop validation at anytime call resetToken.

RE: Best way to handle this in Struts/MVC ?
I put data storage beans that need to be displayed into the request or session and use bean:write and logic:iterate on the JSP. I don't see the sense in creating extra objects targeted to display; just keeping the get/set methods generic (return a Date, not a formatted Date String) should be enough. For date formatting, I use the datetime custom tags for dates (http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/datetime-doc/intro.html) - a caveat the format tag uses long values so if your obj has a method Date getDate() the property in the tag should be date.time (which will call the Date obj's getTime() method that returns a long). For number formatting, I use my own custom tag (that wraps java.text.DecimalFormat). -Original Message- From: Rick Reumann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 13:17 To: Struts List Cc: model struts Subject: Best way to handle this in Struts/MVC ? For all of my forms I have an appropriate DynaValidatorForm bean defined in my struts-config file. This form eventually populates a bean (Data Transfer Object) that corresponds to the form bean but with the correct data types (ie java.util.Date birthDate vs String birthDate ). The question I have is when generating a List to display the beans is it really that bad to use the actual Data Transfer objects beans in the display (vs a List of the DynaFormBeans)? The reason I ask is it seems like a lot of overhead to convert a Collection of data transfer objects into a whole new collection of DynaFormBeans, especially if the List is quite large. The problem though is if you use the DTOs you have to code in those beans proper formats for displaying such things as Dates. How do others handle this situation?

Since this is a Struts ML, I mean with Struts tags. The form itself is a DynaActionForm and whether the checkbox is turned on or not depends on the Action that preceeds the form display.

how do i set a checkbox as checked w/o referring to a bean?
I want to have a checkbox use the HTML checked attribute. I want to do this without referring to a bean or a property or a value, separate from the Struts architecture (except that I still want to have Struts fill in my form values). Is it possible? I have tried many things. In the form object, I set the field's default value to true, but this meant that the field was always checked - if the form was submitted with the box unchecked and there was an error, the box would be checked again when the user returned to the form. I cannot figure out how to have a box selected the 1st time the page loads and then use the user's setting after that (without getting tangled up in the form object).

iterate tag - can you set an increment?

You can either use the JSTL for this, or Struts-EL, using the
logic-el:match tag, which is the ONLY tag (ok, along with
logic-el:notMatch) which I added additional attributes to in the Struts-EL
port. I added an expr attribute to those tags, to make it convenient to
specify an arbitrary EL expression. Using this, you could do something
like:
logic-el:match expr=${idx mod 2} value=0

I'm speaking at the edge of understanding here, but... If BeanUtils is underlying this whole thing, then you should be able to create the user-objects instead of defaulting them to null (using the JavaBean no-arg ctor). And following on that you could use the property referencing struture used by the rest of Struts (e.g. object.field or object[0].object.field) to handle the validation. At first at least, one could implement this by handling user-objects but requiring that the last value in the property referencing be a primitive or Strings (for validation and returning objects to the form). Then I guess it could be expanded to user-objects using a Validatable interface (similar to the Comparable interface used by Arrays.sort). -Original Message- From: Drew Zimber [mailto:drew.zimber;shaws.com] Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 11:00 To: 'Andy Kriger'; 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: help needed with DynaActionForm ...I'm guessing it wouldn't be that hard to extend the form to handle any old Object, maybe someone more in the know with the src can comment on this? actually, i found some documentation about this on the web.

RE: indexed properties and form help needed
According to the docs for DynaActionForm, you indicate a property is indexed
by putting [] after the type name. What I think is going on is that the
property is not initalized when the iterator tries to access it, thus the
'No collection found'. But I don't know how to set this up so it works
correctly. Since Struts seems to handle just about everything else, it'd
surprise me if you couldn't iterate over a dynamic form property in order to
setup inputs.

From: Andy Kriger [mailto:akriger;greaterthanone.com]
I have a DynaActionForm collecting credit card info. A user
can enter up to
3 credit cards on the form. I want to collect this info in
the text fields
and create new CreditCard objects automatically; ideally, I
would get a
CreditCard[3] once the form is submitted (optionally an
ArrayList would be
fine). I would like to use indexed properties (right now I'm
using hard
coded property names), but I cannot figure out how to set this up.
I am getting either a 'No collection found' error or a
'Cannot iterate over
collection' error (depending on how I mess with this).
What follows is rough code of what I'm trying to do.
A CreditCard object has 5 fields with get/set methods for
each: type, name,
number, expMonth, expYear.
!-- JSP --
html:form method='post' action='doSomething'
logic:iterate id='index' property='creditCard'
name='registrationForm'
length='3'
html:select property='creditCard.type' name='index'
indexed='true'
!-- some options --
/html:select
html:text property='creditCard.name' name='index'
indexed='true'
html:text property='creditCard.number' name='index'
indexed='true'
html:text property='creditCard.expMonth' name='index'
indexed='true'
html:text property='creditCard.expYear' name='index'
indexed='true'
/logic:iterate
/html:form
!-- Note: I have tried html:text with property='creditCard.field' and
property='field' Neither worked --
!-- struts-config.xml --
form-bean name='registrationForm' type='DynaValidatorForm
dynamic='true'
form-property name='creditCard'
type='my.package.CreditCard[]'/
/form-bean
Note that I haven't compiled or run any of this.
I would first expect my loop to look more like this:
logic:iterate id='creditCard' property='creditCards'
name='registrationForm'
length='3'
html:select name='creditCard' property='type' indexed='true'
!-- some options --
/html:select
html:text name='creditCard' property='name' indexed='true'/
html:text name='creditCard' property='number' indexed='true'/
html:text name='creditCard' property='expMonth' indexed='true'/
html:text name='creditCard' property='expYear' indexed='true'/
/logic:iterate
I would have accessors for name, number, expMonth and expYear in the
CreditCard class.
At that point, I scratch my head, because I don't know how to represent
indexed properties in DynaActionForms. With a regular ActionForm, I would
have the following in my registrationForm bean:
public CreditCard getCreditCard(int index) { return
(creditCards[index]); }
public void setCreditCard(int index, CreditCard creditCard) {
creditCard[index] = creditCard; }
public CreditCard[] getCreditCards() { return (creditCards); }

form component reuse best practices?
(this is a refinement of a question i asked yesterday) If you have common form components that can be reused multiple times on a page or between projects (e.g. a list of months for date entry, a list of states for address entry), what is the best way to share this code (the html:select/html:option items)?

RE: how do i get a Field object in Validator?
Thanks - I've got code like that to validate that 2 fields are equal (sounds
like we could all donate some code to expand the basic rules available to
Validator).
But what I want is the actual Field object (like the one you pass into a
validate method) for another field. I need this so I can get a message
resource from that field (as opposed to passing them in using a var, which I
am now, but don't like because the code is uglier and it duplicates other
validation.xml settings).

Essentially, yes. Lets say I have 2 fields A B. I am validating A but it
requires B. If B fails, I'd like to get the arg0 value from B's Field object

Since I don't really need an action simply to forward to the JSP, I thought I'd use the action include or foward attribute which seems to accomplish this. But I can't make it work. Here is the struts-config entry... action path=/Registration forward=/registration.jsp /action I would expect that /Registration.do would open registration.jsp Instead I get '500 No action instance for path /Registration could be created' Any ideas? thx andy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
standard beans library?
Are there any libraries of common beans like Birthday, Address, etc.? This seems like something that would come up a lot (I know I'm encountering it a bit across projects) and could be reused widely. thx a -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Struts forms best practice
Does this mean that you will have an ActionForm with String fields and a ModelBean that basically has all the same fields but with the correct types? And that ModelBean is passed around the struts framework? If so, how do folks reduce code duplication between the utility ActionForm and the data modelling ModelBean? -a -Original Message- From: Craig R.

According to the design I would say it should be the same as the data type in the application. (e.g. float) But then the associated form already comes with a 0 filed in the form. That's something I don't wont at all! As I found out, the only solution is to use String as data type an convert it later. Is there a more elegant way? Form bean properties should generally be Strings, so that you can redisplay whatever the user actually typed. Do your conversions in the Action after validation is complete -- in 1.1b2 and later, you can use BeanUtils.copyProperties() to copy the form bean properties into a coresponding business object, complete with doing the conversions as needed.

Date: Wed, 02 Oct 2002 10:54:52 -0500 Well said, David! While there is no date set, there are bugs to be squashed. If you find yourself able to contribute patches to fix things that are wrong, you will be able to hurry the final release ;-) These Jakarta folk don't release on a time-line, but, instead, on a merit-line. When the software is decided to be worthy of the Jakarta name, it will be stamped final - not before. Craig said at some point in the past how final releases are just nightly builds that the developers think have been tested enough (that's a misquote, but you get the jist). Hop right in and put your heel down on a bug or two! That's the best way you can ensure a quicker release :-D If you're close to release and don't feel secure using the 1.1 code-base, by all means, use 1.0.2. If you're not so close to release, probably 1.1 would be best. In the end, it's a judgement call only you can make ;-) Have you actually tried a nightly build? There's a *lot* of added functionality there. If you're on a container adhering to jsp specification 1.2, the addition of the Struts-EL taglib could save you a lot of hassle!

logic:iterate question
I have two vectors of the same length. I can iterate over one and retrieve
values. How can I use the index of that iteration to reference the other
vector?
For example
vOne = { 1,2,3,4 }
vTwo = { a,b,c,d }
I iterate over vOne producing 1,2,3,4,
logic:iterate id='item' name='vOne' indexId='idx'
bean:write name='item'/,
/logic:iterate
How can I get the output to produce 1:a,2:b,3:c,4:d,?
(note the formatting is not important, just interested in how to reference
vTwo using vOne's idx)
thx

can ActionError be returned by Action?

form validation text coloring question
I would like to have our form change text color of field labels to red if they are required fields that were not filled out when the form was submitted (a common feature of forms). Currently, we are doing custom validation that sets a flag. The JSP checks this flag in logic:present tags and creates the a font/font wrapper around the field label that sets the text color to red. This is quite cumbersome as it puts a lot of logic tags into the code. The html:errors does not work since it just adds additional text and it can't wrap existing text. What solutions have folks come up with for this problem? thx andy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
