RE: Debugging JSP
In my experience, if your jsp is so complicated you need a debugger, you should write java classes and/or tags and debug them using junit/httpunit and logging.

RE: Unit Test in struts
I have spent a fair amount of time with WebTest and HttpUnit. The major issues with both of these are JavaScript related. For example if you use JavaScript to populate select lists or html objects they are not available in WebTest or HttpUnit (HttpUnit is a little better since you have finer grained control). How does jWebUnit compare? Thanks.

RE: Unit Test in struts
Maybe I am not smart enough for my applications (order entry, inventory,
etc.)
I just don't see how to give any real functionality in the
application space without JavaScript.
Some issues where I don't see a work around for which are intrisic
to all the applications I am working on.
1) The user is entering items. User needs dynamic
feedback as to to how much is entered so correctness
of data entry can be determined.
2) User can't remember a code from a 'large' list and
needs to look it up and return to where he was with
the correct value filled in. Perhaps it can be done
with some fancy footwork with actions but...
3) Menus, yes there are plenty of static menus but
all the real ones are javascript, i.e. coolmenus
cannot be tested with the existing test tools. Menu's are
not required to be tested but it would be nice.

RE: Session Problem
If IE opens a new window (either through javascript or from the
file/new/window menu) and IE is in a session, the session is shared between
the two browser sessions.
If you open two copies of IE from the operating system, they will not share
the session.
The only way to solve this that I know of, is to keep a session token, if
you find it out of sequence, forward to a page which closes the window (if
javascript is enabled). If you use tokens on your update sequences you
should be able to live with the two browsers in the same session.

I had a similar problem.
I have two browsers opened with diferent sessions (and logged on with
different users to my app) in the same machine.
In one browser, I click a button that opens a new window (window.open in
javascript) and in this new window a submit is performed to an action of
struts. This action has an execute that checks isTokenValid and gives
false, not because I haven't saved token first, but because session are
different.
*/
protected boolean isTokenValid(HttpServletRequest request) {
// Retrieve the saved transaction token from our session
HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
//-- here, session id is different of the main window
session, but equals to the other window session.
if (session == null)
.
.
.
//as session id is wrong, token is invalid.
}
If I have one only main browser opened this problem doesn't happen. I
think that it can be a window.open IE problem, but I still couldn't find
out a solution.
If anyone has one...

You can take a look through all the browser options and see if there is
anything to make it associate cookies only with a specific window, but I
would be quite surprised if there is such an option. I suspect in the
absense of url rewriting you will need to use either different machines
for each browser, or a different browser (ie open second window in
mozilla or something). Hopefully Im wrong on that and someone else on

On the same machine? Rather sounds like its the same session. Im not
sure about IE6, but as I recall, IE5 will share its cookies between the
various windows if cookies are enabled. If cookies are disabled then url
writing takes over (asuming youve made sure your links are re-written by
using the appropriate tags) which means they shouldlnt share sessions if
opened seperately. You could test this theory by disabling cookies in
your browser and see if it makes a difference.
Put it a log statement somewhere to log the sessionId and compare the
results for both the windows to see if it is indeed a different session,
or if the second window causes the first window to end up in the
second's session.

If you use those, you'll likely get the re-writing you're looking for. I did this on a previous project and did find that the forward attribute worked, but not the action attribute. I believe this is a bug in Struts since it should do rewriting when looking up an Action's path. The one issue with re-writing is that if you're using a menu that matches URLs (i.e. tabbed-menu) - they probably won't get matched up. At a previous project, we were using URLs to highlight the current page we were on and we found that we had to use the action attribute or the page attribute so that the jsessionid wasn't appended. Of course, we could've stripped this off in our Velocity template, but we wen't with the quick, less-logic, way. To see this project, go to http://telluride.resortquest.com and drill down a bit. The menu with highlight is on the right. BTW, this site uses the Velocity displayer for both the top menu and the side menu.

filters / tomcat / httpunit / webtest
I have a an interesting issue which at first blush doesn't seem solvable but could be a bug in struts 1.1 or my use of struts. I have a partially implemented struts application which is using filters for security (not the sourceforge security filter). I used to issue a 401 error, have the container trap the error and forward to the logon page. That worked fairly well with tomcat 4.1.18. I had a testsuite in Struts-Test, HttpUnit and WebTest which was working reasonably well. I updated to tomcat 4.1.29 which passes the http 401 error to the page, with the actual login page. This causes failures in HttpUnit and WebTest which assume a 401 error is a Basic Authentication Error. I thought about throwing / catching other errors but have not completed tests. The sourceforge security filter just does a RequestDispatcher forward to the login page. This works fine on straight jsp pages. However on struts pages there is some additional processing and something (I have not yet figured out) from struts gets put in the response so that there is an IllegalStateException thrown when the filter performs the forward. Additionally, response.redirect has the same issue. The only struts log messages have to do with PropertyMessageResources, which are not there for both straight JSP and struts resources. Does anyone know what in struts could be writing to the response or where to start looking? Thanks in advance. Edgar --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Thanks for the article. Something about the update from 4.1.18 to 4.1.29 caused my cookie test javascript to give inconsistent feedback in the HttpUnit javascript. I tried another algorithm and worked past the error. BTW for you test junkies, if you used web.xml error-pageerror-code to trap http errors and return a different page, tomcat 4.1.18 doesn't pass on the http error with the page redirect while 4.1.29 does. Tests of pages which take advantage of those automatic redirects will start failing when you do an upgrade. Thanks again.

However, I am ready to give up on WebTest, but before I do would like to hear if others have had similar problems. The issue I can't seem get around is that my site requires cookies. I have a hidden field and some javascript to test if cookies are enabled and value the hidden field. Webtest won't value the field and won't let me set the value of the field. Additionally, this issue cropped up when I upgraded from Tomcat 4.1.18 to 4.1.29. Any insight is welcome. Thanks. Edgar --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

RE: Design Questions
-Original Message- From: Scott McClure [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 03, 2004 10:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Design Questions First, I was thinking about using a single UserForm to validate all forms relating to a user, for instance. The problem is, is that some fields would not be necessary for update actions and their validation code would throw a ActionError with the default value. I could use conditional validation in the ActionForm based upon the ActionMapping, but that would create ties between the config file and code that I am not sure I want to make. What is your opinion? In your load action, always fill out the entire form. As long as you session based form beans and don't use the reset (for checkboxes) the data will pass without input fields in the jsp. Next, I am trying to tackle the problem of the granularity of my Action objects. At first, I thought about using a DispatchAction, but that only allows me to use one ActionForm for all of the Actions in that class. Then, I thought that maybe wildcards would solve my problem. Wildcards, though, seem like a security concern, where it would be theoretically possible to run an action that is not intended to be run (to exploit any handling errors). Also, I am not sure if that solves any granularity problems, but merely simplifies configuration in the config file. Are there any other good solutions for solving granularity problems? Did I mis-understand DispatchAction? General comments on security with wildcards would also be very interesting. I am a believer in standard actions and have your business classes implement interfaces for the actions to use. So in the save/update/delete sequence you have a single action which calls standard functions in your business classes. Also, slightly off-topic of my previous questions, what naming conventions do people use for application messages? In struts I have seen a general format of prompt.*, heading.*, and using page specific messages under the page name. What are some suggestions? I want to resolve to a naming standard now so I dont have to go through and change everything if it becomes a code managibilty concern. If you can name them package.class.messageKey or url.field.messageKey it works well as well.

RE: Server manged vs. struts managed db pools
There is another issue regarding connection pooling in struts vs connection pooling in the container. In struts the war file contains all the information the app needs to run. With container pooling (at least with tomcat and resin) you have to coordinate the container configuration with struts configuration. With a single container running multiple apps this is a bit of an issue. Edgar -Original Message- From: Craig R. McClanahan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 11:03 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Server manged vs. struts managed db pools Quoting Edgar P Dollin [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I like struts managed db pools, however, the struts developers aren't too happy about the quality and the dependency on the commons-pooling library and are attempting to phase it out. The existing connection pool in struts-legacy.jar (and the one in commons-dbcp.jar nowdays) works fine. However, there are several important pros for using container managed connection pools: * A connection pool implementation provided by your app server is likely to be optimized for better performance on that particular app server than a generic pool included with the app. * A connection pool implementation provided by your app server is likely to be supported by the graphical admin tools of that app server, versus having to be hand configured in struts-config.xml. * On some app servers, you can dynamically tweak the characteristics of the connection pool (such as how many active connections are allowed) without restarting the app. That's not the case for a pool included inside the app, where you have to go tweak struts-config.xml and restart. * A connection pool provided by your app server vendor is accessible (via JNDI) *anywhere* in your application, versus having to be passed in as a parameter to any method that needs it (or making your business logic dependent on the servlet API in order to access application scope attributes). * In environments where you have two or three different deployment scenarios (say, development, test, and production) you can deploy exactly the same WAR file in all three places, yet have each of them talk to the correct database simply by administering the server. No tweaking of the struts-config.xml file to reflect which environment you are deploying to. The only reason Struts ever included a connection pool in the first place is that most standalone servlet containers at that time didn't support JNDI-based pools. Now, that is no longer an issue, and I would always recommend using the container's facilities for that purpose.

RE: Types supported by DynaActionForm (or DynaValidatorForm)
There is some contradiction when it comes to types in ActionForms. The
general idea of struts is to put a bunch of Strings (or booleans) between
the application and view layer so that after unsuccessful validation the
framework can return the typed values unchanged. In certain cases,
individual developers put in support for types other than Strings for
certain features.
The bottom line is, until there is more concensus on the use of data types,
use non String ActionForm properties at your own risk.

RE: Server manged vs. struts managed db pools

In my application(s), each customer has a separate physical database which means that you have to mess with server.xml in the web container configuration to add the additional database for each customer added (not really an issue if you are adding context elements for virtual servers). Additionally, you don't need a configuration parameter in your application for the JNDI database handle as it can be hardcoded and only change struts-config.xml to reference the correct database. http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-how to.html Edgar -Original Message- From: Vic Cekvenich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 6:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Server manged vs. struts managed db pools Edgar P Dollin wrote: There is another issue regarding connection pooling in struts vs connection pooling in the container.

RE: Token documentation
I haven't seen any but there isn't really much to document. You put an integer into the form with a value that is updated by the action. This value must change from request to request, typically it is incremented. You must carry a hidden field in the jsp to carry the token to the following request (if you don't have the hidden field and are using session beans the value will always be correct, with request beans it will always be incorrect). The load action also puts the token value into the session so the next action can check the value. When the target action is invoked, it picks up the token and checks the value against the actionform. If the value is not the same, i.e. the user hit the back button and resubmitted, you have an error situation. You can forward to an error page or take whatever action you deem necessary at that point.

There are many solutions in the archives although you might have to role your own using the ideas presented. Edgar -Original Message- From: Linus Nikander [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 3:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Large scale Internationalization using struts I posted this same question a few months back but didn't really get any answers that helped me decide on what to do. So here goes again: The thing I've been looking at Internationalization issues concerned with Struts. The thought of being able to change the whole language of a site simply by changing the locale of the user really appeals to me. All examples i've seen so far use parallel versions of the ApplicationResources.properties file to accomplish this. Whilst this may be feasibel for a fairly small site I don't see how this solution would hold up for a large site (with serveral hundred concurrent requests to anyone of several thousand pages). The problems/questions I can see are: As a single textfile is used, when there are several thousand entries it will become difficult to manage. Can updates be made, during operation, to the content ? What happens if a user requests the files content while it is being edited ? Is the textfile cached for performance, or will concurrent calls compete for the same file-resource ? As I'm probably not the first person who is trying to use Struts on a larger scale for internationalization issues I thought someone might have a better solution.

RE: Tags creating Tags
There is a little more overhead than this. You are now taking control of the struts tag lifespan. Currently, assuming tag pooling, this is done by the container based on a hash of the parameter values. If you are careful you can piggyback on that by synchronizing the internal tag instantiation with your tag. You could instantiate the internal tag on every reference, but that would be a step back in terms of efficiency. Then any jsp parameters you will be passing to the internal tag must be passed prior to invoking the tag. Additionally, each of the methods of the Tag or BodyTag interfaces must be implemented and call the internally referenced tag based on the requirements of the tag. Most of the struts tags don't have a 'real' body so this is not that important. If you were considering wrapping the iterate tag, you would have an interesting problem.

RE: Passing parameters between forms
My preference is to emulate the session functionality in your own classes, i.e. publish / subscribe. Stick a static map in your class and use a unique key generated from objects both threads are aware of to index the object, then you can pull it out when you need to. Synchronize if you need to as well. I like this better because then you can run junit tests w/o worring about the container.

This is a little off-topic, but I am using the Struts EL taglibs in the applications this is happening. Any suggestions, ideas are appreciated. (I also posted on the Jakarta taglibs list). I am having an issue with large startup times the first time one of my pages runs that uses JSTL mostly the core library. Subsequent requests (even for different users on different data) take much, much less time. Here is a little more detail. Any ideas are much appreciated. My ISP is pretty irate because we suck up huge amounts of CPU each time it happens. We are using Tomcat 4.1.24, Java 1.4.1 and Struts 1.1. OK, the page uses a couple of nested foreach loops to generate a grid/chart of SVG markup language. It also uses a couple of small foreach loops to generate tick marks on an axis. It looks something like: Chart page embed tag include JSP/JSTL page to generate footer. include JSP/JSTL page to generate x and y axis JSTL markup to generate main body of chart include JSP/JSTL page to generate footer. The request takes a half second to build the Java objects that the JSTL code uses to render on the page. But the rendering takes 45 second on a 650MHZ Sun SPARC III machine and almost that long on a fast Windows machine (2500 MHZ). The second and subsequent times the chart rendering drops down to less than 200 milliseconds. Then about five minutes later, if the chart is requested again, it takes the 45 seconds to generate, then 200 milliseconds for subsequent requests.

I have special field objects which with separate methods for jsp setting and database setting which also track changes.

You can then create methods for checkpointing the data so if you have a complex set of updates you can know the status at any point.

I would like the action to perform (not fail as validator specifies) but give feedback to the user about the entered data.

You would want to let the user know that the information was added to the allowed list. I am doing your other selection in the action class as well. My intermeditate solution, is to extend the ActionForm and add an informational message ActionMessages property and a special tag for displaying any pending informational messages.

If there is a validation error, the Struts framework sends the user back to the input page to inform them of the problem, and possibly allow them to fix it and resubmit. If the request still gets passed to the action, the action will need to do conditional processing based on the presence of errors, and then it is unclear how control will pass back to Struts so that it can send the user back to the input page to inform them of what went wrong. I have sometimes thought about having the action produce a validation-style error if something goes wrong in processing the request, after which it could pass control back to the Struts framework to send the user back to the input page. You can of course add another forward or something, but it would be nice if you could just tell Struts more cleary that something went wrong and that Struts should send the user back to the input form (as it does with a validation error), but I am not sure if there is an elegant way to do that. This is distinct from your proposed flow, but it seems the same feature (tell Struts there was an error and user should be sent back to input form) could support both of our scenarios.

This would depend how your application was architected. If you do ONLY jsp (i.e. sql and logic in the page), then basically you are re-writing the application by cutting back-end code out of your jsp pages and creating business logic classes and action class. If your application is reasonably well architected, then you are probably going to be creating DynaForms in xml and on each jsp replacing validation logic, message logic, etc to utilize struts features.

Subject: Q: Running unit tests for Validator used with Struts
Hello,
It is almost impossible to get anyone
attention on struts-user.
I'm using Struts and Validator with it.
I wrote a custom Validator and want to write
a unit test for it.
My Validator has a method like this:
public static boolean validateStartLetter(
Object bean,
ValidatorAction validatorAction,
Field field,
ActionErrors errors,
HttpServletRequest request
)
{
String value =
ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,
field.getProperty());
if
((GenericValidator.isBlankOrNull(value)) ||
!Character.isLetter(value.charAt(0)))
{
errors.add(field.getKey(),
Resources.getActionError(request, validatorAction, field));
}
return errors.isEmpty();
}
I am running JUnit from Ant to run my unit
test class.
Apparently this doesn't work because the
instance of ActionErrors passed to this
method is null, causing a NPE.
I wanted to check the unit tests for
Validator in Struts (FieldChecks) to see how
you wrote your unit tests, so that this NPE
is avoided, but I could not find any unit
tests for it.
Are there really no unit tests there?
Regardless, how would you go about running
unit tests for a custom validator from
something like Ant?
It seems to me that doing that may be
impossible, because there is no Struts
running to instantiate ActionErrors, there
is no HttpServletRequest, and so on.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Otis

Having to hard-code (or config file) the login page URL is the only thing that Struts would be able to help with here, but as far as I've seen Struts doesn't provide any help in Filters.

That's a good idea. One more question, can filter works with struts? Doug Justin Ashworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Hi Doug, We use a javax.servlet.Filter to check for an expired session. I found this idea on some website or in the Struts-User archives and it makes the most sense to me. All requests go through the filter before they hit the servlet, so this is the perfect place to check for whether or not a user is logged in - it's hidden away and it's executed before anything else. Just create a class that implements javax.servlet.Filter. There are three methods to implement in this class, but the real work will be done in the doFilter() method. In doFilter() you can call request.getSession().getAttribute(someAttribute) on an attribute that should always be there if the session is valid, and if it's not there forward them to the login screen (this will be a RequestDispatcher.forward() and not a Struts ActionForward). Your doFilter() method will be specific to your application, but the other two methods you need to implement, getFilterConfig() and setFilterConfig() are just a basic getter and setter for a FilterConfig member variable. Also, it is good practice that if you aren't forwarding back to the login page in your doFilter method, you call filterChain.doFilter(request, response). filterChain is a parameter to this method and represents a chain of filters you have configured in your web.xml file. See the JavaDoc for more info. Your entry for the filter in your web.xml file will look something like this: LoginFilter com.d.p.w.LoginFilter LoginFilter *.do If you plan well you should also be able to figure out which page the user was heading to when their session timed out and pass that back to the login screen so that they go directly to it after login. I can't give an example of this because we haven't implemented it yet.

Subject: [OT] Overloaded setters in JavaBeans
It is now a well-known fact on this list that if you are trying to
access a property using a tag you had better not have an overloaded
setter for this property. In other words don't do
private String foo;
public String getFoo() { return foo; }
public void setFoo(String x) { foo = x; }
public void setFoo(int i) { foo = + x; }
Equally well-known is the reason -- 'tis the JavaBeans specification.
So, I went looking. Section 7.1 (Accessor methods) reads
Begin quote ---
Properties are always accessed via method calls on their owning object.
For readable properties there will be a getter method to read the
property value. For writable properties there will be a setter method to
allow the property value to be updated.
--- End quote
Section 8.3 (Design Patterns for Properties) reads
Begin quote ---
By default, we use design patterns to locate properties by looking for
methods of the form:
public PropertyType getPropertyName();
public void setPropertyName(PropertyType a);
If we discover a matching pair of getPropertyName and
setPropertyName methods that take and return the same type, then we
regard these methods as defining a read-write property whose name will
be propertyName. ...
If we find only one of these methods, then we regard it as defining
either a read-only or a writeonly property called propertyName
--- End quote
It doesn't say anything about not overloading the accessors. So, why
then do we get the error?

RE: Why is token checking only available when control has passed to the Action class?
One solution is to make the increment of the array size a separate request so that your Bean can be expanded, i.e. insert rows, add record. Edgar -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 6:21 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Why is token checking only available when control has passed to the Action class? Hi all, I have a fairly involved problem surrounding token checking for request reload management. There are various methods available in the Action class such as saveToken, resetToken and isTokenValid which are all very useful in helping manage reload requests. All these methods operate off a token stored in the session, which these methods access directly from the request object. There is no dependence on the form object for these methods. A problem arises when, during the normal processing of a request, the form object is modified in such a way that array elements in the form are removed. For example, an array of transactions in the initial request has 10 elements in it, during action processing this array is resized due to some business rule down to 5 transactions. The array has only 5 elements in it now. The next screen is displayed. If a reload request is sent now, the number of transactions in the request is still 10 but the form object only has a transaction array with 5 elements in it. When the request processor attempts to populate the form object with the request data an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException occurs which is understandable but very undesirable. Should the token functions be moved into the org.apache.struts.util .RequestUtil class so that they are available to the RequestProcessor? We can then check for reloads prior to the form object being populated in the processPreprocess method in the RequestProcessor. Very interested in anyone's thoughts on this. It looks like we will have to set something up ourselves to do this but if Struts itself could change to accommodate this it would be very useful.

RE: Page scope bean and nested:iterate
If you look at the tag, I believe it is keeping a reference to the
original property of the bean, and basing everything from that.

Subject: RE: Page scope bean and nested:iterate
Hi Sri-
Thanks for trying. If I don't nest the element.getName() in the logic
tag it completely blows up with a big fat NullPointerException. The
element is definitely not there. I stepped through the code and it
looks like id is always getting removed from the page context!
This is the code that does the work:
if (iterator.hasNext()) {
Object element = iterator.next();
if (element == null)
pageContext.removeAttribute(id);
else
pageContext.setAttribute(id, element);
lengthCount++;
started = true;
if (indexId != null)
pageContext.setAttribute(indexId, new
Integer(getIndex()));
return (EVAL_BODY_TAG);
} else
return (SKIP_BODY);
element is always null (even though stuff is rendering on my JSP) so the
id is always getting pulled out of the pageContext. But index id keeps
getting set. This is pretty confusing, I don't know if I should trust
my debugger or not, but it definitely looks like something strange is
going on.
All this makes me wonder if the Nested code is doing an end run around
the id and just passing references to the containing object to its
nested tags?

The id attribute of the nested:iterate is a handle to the current
element in the iteration. So, by definition, the reference cannot be
null -- 'cos if it were, you'd be out of the iteration. Make sense?
So, methinks you *shouldn't* need to test if it is present.
I know all this doesn't explain your NPE.
Just for grins can you try changing the
nested:write property=name/
to
%=element.getName()%
If 'element' is null, *that* should blow up too. I am puzzled as to
how the bean at element can be null.
Sorry if this didn't help any bit.

Subject: Page scope bean and nested:iterate
Hi-
I'm using nested:iterate and have not been successful in using the id
attribute of the iterate tag. The documentation for nested:iterate is
just the documentation for logic:iterate so I would imagine that
nested:iterate should support id.
I have some code like where theBean is the source of the objects I'm
iterating over:
nested:iterate id=element indexId=currentIndex
property=theBean
logic:present name=element
%=element.hashCode()%br
/logic:present
nested:write property=name/br
%=currentIndex.intValue()%
/nested:iterate
The following code runs and outputs just the value of the name and the
current index number. If I removed the logic:present, I get a runtime
error because element is null. I think this should work, but it
doesn't. Why?

A couple of choices:
Actually put the html:text inside the logic and use an else

Use struts-EL for the disabled attribute calculation
