RE: version 1.2
Ted, Thanks a lot for clearing this issue. Erez -Original Message- From: Ted Husted [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 21, 2004 1:22 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: version 1.2 As Joe mentioned, we no longer use the "beta-beta-beta-final" versioning scheme. We now use an "immutable" versioning scheme, like that used by the Apache HTTPD project, Jakata Tomcat, and many others. Each release is a "point" release, meaning it's a three part number: major-minor-point. The most recent Struts point release is 1.2.0. The next will be 1.2.1. Each number is an integer, so there can be any number of point releases. Each point release is created exactly once. After the release is created, we vote as to whether to change its status from "alpha" to "beta" and/or "general availability". We may also vote to demote a release, if we discover problems later. At this time, Struts 1.1 is the best available release. Struts 1.2.0 is also available, but still considered "alpha" quality. ** We encourage everyone to try running your applications against 1.2.0 and report any problems. ** Right now, there are a handful of problem tickets against 1.2.0. As soon as those are resolved, we will issue 1.2.1. Hopefully, that release will make "GA" status. Either way, the next 1.2.x release after 1.2.1 will be 1.2.2. -Ted.

I have done this by extending the struts tag and using the

I overrode the getStyleClass() method to do the following:
1) Retrieve the "ActionErrors" from the request
2) Check if there is an error message for the name/property
3) If there is an error - append a suffix to the StyleClass attribute
("Err"
by default")
So I have something like:
If "somethingOrOther" is VALID it generates:

All you have to do is set up two styles in your style sheet, the error

RE: Populating form Elements from another object.
It looks cool, still there´s a problem of being open to small nasty
attacks.
Since the set() method adds fields dynamically, it would do it also upon
properties population. So, when a request comes loaded with fields that
never should have been sent, the lazyDynaBean would add them, thus
creating a small hole of security. What do you think?

Required checkbox field & Validator
Hi, I have a DynaActionForm with a boolean field representing a checkbox field which must be checked before processing the form. I've tried marking him as depending on 'required' but that didn't do it and the server side FieldChecks.validateRequired () of Struts just let it pass. Going into the code I saw that the field already have a value of 'false' thus it passes the check of not being null or blank. Now, I can put the code into my Action or into the derived form class validate() method but I think that was not the idea of having an infrastructure of validations. How can this be done? Have I missed anything? I am using Struts 1.1 (the released version). TIA, Erez - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Wizard pages in Struts design question
About your suggestion of avoiding repopulating... I guess this cannot be
done using DynaActionForms, or am missing something?
I agree that the step code should be part of the logic but still the
action should activate it somehow, by calling it.
I can't see how chaining actions has to be an indication of logic code
creeping into the action code - It see how it can indicate but IMMO it's
not always the case. In the wizard example, I can't see why not having
each step in its own Struts action. Clicking next on the page1,
activates the submit on that step action, which may call some business
logic delegate to perform whatever is necessary, and then directing to
the next step dispatching its init method. After page2 step init()
method is done, it directs to something like 'viewForm' and next step is
displayed populated as required.

To prevent repopulation of an ActionForm's properties, you just need to
provide a property that observes that status of another property that
indicates whether the form is readonly or not. So, instead of just doing
this.property = property
you have
if (mutable) this.property = property
Or do something more sophisticated, like have it look at the page number
and then decide whether to set itself or not.
Though, IMHO, the behavior for a step is so complicated that you want to
put it in its own action, it should probably be outside of Struts all
together, and part of the business logic layer.
(This is why chaining is frowned upon. It's a red flag that indicates
business logic is creeping into your Action classes. When the business
logic is sufficiently fine-grained, you should just be able to whatever
you need to do from whatever Action you happen to be in. As work
progresses on Commons Chain, I think this will provide a solution many
people will prefer to chaining Struts Action).
I haven't had a chance to abstract it into a standard class, but here's
a wizard Action that I'm working with now. It submits back to the same
class, but uses a dispatch action so that if a step needs more behavior
it can be encapsulated that way.

RE: Wizard pages in Struts design question
Ted,
>From reading your WizardAction code it seems that in a way it maintains
an internal mechanism of redirection between the submitting of the
current step and preparation of the next step sub-actions, while keeping
Struts out of it. So in the end - not exposing the internal redirection
avoids the famous Struts action chaining issue.

Wizard pages in Struts design question
I read the HowTo write a wizard on the Struts web-site but I wasn't
really happy with the solution, and I am looking for a better one. I
came up with another way and I would appreciate your comments.
The design consists of:
- The 'form' is a session scope form
- WizardAction class (a DispatchAction based) with following methods:
* init () - starting the wizard and redirect to the first page
* finish () - (or save()) finish the wizard and save the
information in the form using some business logic
delegate.
- Each Page or step in the wizard is a separate Action class, extending
a WizrardBaseAction (a DispatchAction based) which contains some
shared methods.
For example: Page1Action extends WizardBaseAction {
// initializes the page (done only on first
encounter)
ActionForward init (mapping,...) throws
Exception;
ActionForward back (mapping,...) throws
Exception;
ActionForward next (mapping,...) throws
Exception; ActionForward finish
(mapping,...) throws Exception;
}
- Each page/step has a separate action-mapping item in the configuration
with local forwards for : 'back' (if not the first page), 'next',
'finish' (if allowed from that page).
I apologize for not sketching the whole idea down to the last bit but I
hope you get the picture.
Only problem is that this design touches the question of chaining
actions verses forward redirection (not just dispatching).
For example the Page1Action.next() does the following:
1. validate the page
2. perform whatever processing required
3. return the next action to forward to (redirect or chain with
all its illness..)
In my opinion (humble one of course :) having such a separation keeping
each step in its own class is better and clearer design than having them
all in the same Action class.
Isn't there a way to prevent the reset + pre-population of the form done
while chaining actions? Furthermore, is it so bad to redirect between
actions?
Thanks in advance,
Erez

RE: jsp -> java naming issue
Some code snippets would shed some light here... :) Regards, Erez -Original Message- From: Gregory F. March [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 6:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: jsp -> java naming issue Back to coding... I've been struggling with an issue for the past two days that I just cannot solve. There is a bunch of stuff going on, but I believe I have narrowed it down to the following. Here are the cast of characters: Vector v1 of data that contains an element that is another Vector v2. A jsp that iterates through both vectors Class c1 that contains the data for v1 with appropriate getters and setters Class c2 that contains the data for v2 with appropriate getters and setters An adapter that populates the Vector v1 and v2 using the above two classes What happens: jsp does a logic:iterate id=item name=v1 jsp does a bean:write name=item property=v2 I get a servlet exception saying there is no getter method for property v1 of bean item. Here is where it gets weird. It is convoluted, so bear with me... If I create a dummy getter (getXyzzy) and setter (setXyzzy) in c1 that simply call the original getters and setters (getV2, setV2), and have the jsp do a bean:write name=item property=xyzzy, it works (no exception). If I leave the jsp alone (bean:write name=item property=v2), but change the adapter to call setXyzzy instead of setV2, it works too! In other words, the following table occurs: jsp adapter works - property=v2 setV2 No property=xyzzy setV2 Yes property=v2 setXyzzyYes I am totally stumped as to why this is occurring. Now, keep in mind that other bean:write's on item are working fine. Any help would be really, really appreciated. I've had two other people look at it and they are stumped too.

Extending DynaActionForm

DynaActionForm properties
Hi, I have declared a property in a DynaActionForm of type of class of my own. My question is how can initialize it or pass a parameter to its constructor? My impression was that it cannot be done, but maybe one of you guys knows how to do this. Thing is I have this property which is an instance of a class which receives a category name in his constructor. And it would nice if I could just specify the 'myclass' class and the category name, instead of having to derive a different class for each different category I have, and use this derived class in the DynaActionForm configuration.

You have to use the corresponding "wrapper" objects instead of
primitives.
For example, if you want to store an int property with a value of 123,
you'd do:
dynabean.set("value", new Integer(123));
int value = ((Integer) dynabean.get("value")).intValue();
In JDK 1.5 the need to do this will go away, because the compiler will
automatically box and unbox primitive values for you, but for now you
have
to do it yourself.

RE: file upload problem
Hi Brian, Thanks for replying. I really need help here, cause this is my first time I am dealing with this. All I wanted to know is how should and can I handle uploads of files which are then being accessed intensively. Up to now I've seen two ways to do this: (1) Store the uploaded files in the database and have a Struts Action serve those files from the DB. Pros: - The action has an ultimate control on who access what - The files are better secured Cons: - might turn up slow, even too slow to not acceptable (2) Store those uploaded files under a file system directory and have the JSP pages access these files through an Action or direct access, like any normal image, logo, etc. * Using an action - again, gaining control over the access, but might be slower then direct access. * Using direct access - probably faster (don't know how much more, though), but losing control over pages access, less secured. To do this I thought also of using Apache as the front door, using the "alias" directive + JK2 module, which I guess you are familiar with. Of course using Apache as the front door led me to the question of: "do I need it really, is it that important to have the Apache just for the files". Many people argue that using Apache is best for static files, and I guess images, photos, etc. *are* static in nature, so why not. Still I did find that the configuration is a bit awkward, however it can work. Do you use Apache for that as well? Or just Tomcat? True, first I wanted to go along and delay my decision of how to access those files and just have a file system directory. But I saw that JBoss deletes those directories upon packed deployment. In your solution I have to deploy in an unpacked manner even in production. Otherwise the whole directory will get lost. Do you see any problems with your way? It's really sad that there is not way to declare in JBoss/Tomcat a directory with characteristics similar to the alias in Apache. I don't see why it is not there, am I the only one to deal with this kind of requirement? I guess not :) Regards, Erez -Original Message- From: Brian McSweeney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 11:59 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: file upload problem Hi Erez, Just wondering if you figured this out.

If you deploy your jboss ear in an exploded way: [ >How can a war file be deployed in a exploded way .. just create a directory named foo.ear and in the deploy directory, and unpack your EAR file in foo.ear. Then unpack the WAR file in a directory named foo.war in foo.ear. ] then you can write the uploaded files to a folder that the tomcat server will be able to serve! This works for me.

RE: file upload problem
Thing is I do need a very high downloading of files, so I guess the directory option is more appropriate. What do you mean by "a directory served by your web server"?

I'm a strong proponent of storage in a database. Not only is a BLOB the ultimate quarantine but it saves you the headache of keeping meta-data and and the file content in synch. Most RDBMs implement BLOBs as files so there is very little performance hit when you perform the upload. When users perform the download you will need an action to 'proxy' the bytes from the database to the response. If you write good java.io code, set the content type on the response and return null from the execute method this is pretty straightforward and fast enough for most applications. Downloads will be a little slower this way but it's rare for system requirements to necessitate repeated file download. If _each_ file is going to be downloaded more than a few hundred times/day you might want to write it to directory served by your _web_ server. Don't forget virus protection. If users can upload and download MS Office documents you will need to virus check them after they are uploaded but before anyone else can download them.

RE: How to work with DispatchAction ? (please help)
Yes I see how it helps avoid extra parameter. I am using EJB and I don't
think there will be any problem with checking the "record" id. I will
try it and see how goes.
Just for the sake of it I must say that Wizard is a real pain.
Especially when you try to reuse those pages for updating - it's a
killer. What bothers me also is that since the wizard uses the form on
session scope, the update uses this scope too. If the user goes into
update a certain part of its registration (one of the wizard pages) and
then regrets and goes to another place in the application, it leaves me
with the form on the session. I am sure there are ways to clean it but I
haven't got to it yet.

I think you can avoid it, but I haven't worked on any wizards using
Struts yet, so I may be wrong. Let me describe the approach that I use
for saving a record where all data is specified on a single screen.
This approach will work for you if you are saving the record to the
database on the last step of your wizard rather than saving to the
database after each step.
Instead of having both a "create" and "update" method I just have a save
method, so in my form I can always have . In the save method I can distinguish between whether I
am creating or updating based on whether or not the record already has
an ID. If the record does have an ID, I am updating and if it doesn't
then I am creating. I think you could do a test like this both in the
action class that does the saving and in your JSP in place of testing
against action.
Will this approach work for you?

Matt, thanks for replying, I almost though I'd never see one.. :-)
I've really ran into a wall but somehow got out of it, still I am not
really happy with the solution which is by the way close to what you
described.
I still would appreciate your help here:
I have the 'method' field on my RegForm class, and I guess this is
normal.
On the RegAction DispatchAction I have 'create' 'edit' and 'update'
methods.
I use also a 'action' parameter to distinguish between two different
workflows, can I avoid it?
Here is the JSP (parts of it):
...
<!--
// sets the 'method' param
function setMethod(method) {
document.forms[0].method.value = method;
}
//-->
...
If RegAction.update() finds validation errors it needs to go back to the
editing form, and restore the 'method' value to 'edit' or 'create' but
it cannot know that once the value has changed to 'update'. That is why
I keep an 'action' parameter on the side to differ between the two. Is
there a better way - I hope there is :)

Your dispatch actions sound very similar to mine: I have an add method,
an edit method, and a save method. I also define two forwards: one to
the form view () and one to the "detail" view
(), which is the view the user sees after a
successful save. If you find errors, shouldn't you just be able to do
mapping.findForward("viewForm")? The form bean will still be populates
with the values the user entered even if you are using a session-scoped
bean :)

RE: Action mapping 'inputForward'
Lately I've been posting some messages regarding writing Wizards using Struts and asked a lot of question, to which none of them I got any answer... sad but true. I solved it but still I would like to hear what is your point of view. In my case I have a Registration wizard using a form on a session scope since I don't want to carry all the fields as hidden. Each page has a page number and method hidden parameter for controlling to sequence. Then I got to write the Editing of the registration information. I wanted to reuse my pages. Now comes the tricky part (I think). I wanted the Edit action to use the same form *but* on the request scope. Therefore, I couldn't just use the same tag but had to change based on the 'method' = 'create' or 'edit'. If method=create I use the action=/Signup.do, and in 'edit' I do action="/EditSignup.do". In both the EditSignup and Signup action-mapping I use the same form but different scope, and both going to the same SignupAction. All that is a lot of pain :) I hope there's a lot better way that I missed...

Among other things, it makes life much easier when you want to use multiple modules, or play with settings like forwardPattern and pagePatetrn. Finally, it's more consistent with the use of forwards everywhere else in Struts, and I sort of wish I'd made "input" take the name of a forward from the very beginning :-). > Thanks, > Erez Craig - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You need to use the property name "orgId" in your JSP because your

RE: One form multiple Action mapping
Come to think of it more, since I want the submitted form to use different action mappings, I thought of using something like Scanfold's RelayAction which dispatches to different action mappings based on the parameter (in my case 'method'). On each action mapping I could set my required roles etc. and then have them all forwarded to the RegistrationAction for processing. This way I can distinguish between them and still process them in a single point (Action). What do you think? Erez -Original Message- From: Bailey, Shane C.

The reason this is not working for you is that "Element" bean name is

there only when the JSP is populated from the action inside the

Required vaidator javascript
I am sure that this is a simple question to you all HTML gurus... I Hope :) I am using the 'required' validator and I have fields of type 'select-one' and 'radio' for both of them the required doesn't bring up the pop. The required works very simply by looking if there is a value or not. But for selection-box this is not enough, in my opinion. Currently I have the "empty" value = 0 so for in the eyes of the required validator the value is not empty. Of course I can refine the javascript for dealing with these situations of 0 as an empty value by convention or even take that NONE value from an extra variable. As for the radio buttons I still have to figure out why? They are both not selected and still.. no respond from Mr. required. Small simple HTTP/HTML question. What value (if any) is sent after submitting for a selection with empty value="" ? And the same for radio?

RE: Struts Problem
Sridhar,
Doing
is illegal in your
case cause this would generate the following call :
getIps() and setIps(String key, Object value) with the
result of Element.value as the 'key' and the new value as the value. But
your HashMap doesn't contain any element by this key.
If you're trying to update the values of elements in the map stored by
their keys then you just need the first element. I hope I understand your what
you're trying to achieve here.

Either one will work fine, last a long time, as long as you're running on a Servlet 2.3 / JSP 1.2 or later container. If you're on an earlier version, your only choice is the Struts tags. My recommendation is that new projects should use JSTL and struts-el tags (if you're on the appropriate container). For existing apps, there is no compelling reason to change, other than perhaps to use those changes as a learning experience. You're likely to see exactly the same sort of transition be recommended on the Struts HTML tags, once JavaServer Faces goes final.

Hi Panchasheel,
I am working with map backed action forms and the way to work with
validation in this case is as follows (a piece of my validation.xml):
(on my ActionForm there are getProperty and setProperty interfacing the
actual map - as in your case I guess it is 'getVolume() and
setVolume()).
mask
${username}
Hope this helps,

Subject: Using Struts Validator on Map-backed ActionForms
Hi,
I am trying to use the Struts Validator to generate Javascript
validation on
a Map-backed action form, but I keep getting "type is null or not an
object"
javascript error (I am using Struts 1.1). Non map-backed properties on
the
form work fine.
In the JSP I am creating text boxes using:
and have this method on the action form to get it:
public void setVolume(String key, Object value) {
volumes.put(key, value);
}
In the validation.xml I have tried:
and:
but both result in the error.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Charles.

RE: Actions Best Practice
Taking your advice, it means that I would have two different action mappings, one for the init step and the second for the actual action (send). But then I will have to write something like which is a bit strange to write again the "init", and it is needed cause the ForgotPasswordAction.java needs this 'action' parameter to distinguish between the two.

You can write two action mappings in struts-config to distinguish the calls, where one has no validation and the other does. I know some people don't like having extra action mappings in their struts-config, but I believe that is what they are there for.

RE: Actions Best Practice
First, in my humble opinion, having one Action serving several actions was the reality welcoming the pink vision of having a small action doing different thing. Now, combining the two solutions as they are is quite impossible since they both make use of the same action mapping 'parameter' field. There is however a nice-looking way around it. I can write our own version of base ActionForm override the validate(mapping, request), ignore the validation only if the 'parameter' is equal to "init" (as a convention, as a rule in the specific application). Therefore setting validation=true will be ignored when parameter="init" and in all other cases will perform the validation. To use the DispatchAction I would write the same base MyBaseForm, but this time, it will imitate the DispatchAction and will look if the value of the named parameter is "init". I think that solves it.

Struts Validator Javascript
Working with the validator I found that the client-side javascript code automatically generated by the validator tag does not handle correctly or at all fields that are radio group , checkbox group or any other type of group that exist. I have posted few times on that but no response. After that I went and fixed the javascript code to do it correctly in the validateRequired() for instance. I am just wondering, am I the only one to use the client side validator avascript? Am I so special :) ? Or everyone else is doing it differently? I would appreciate any remark.

RE: Relay Actions
I don't like it but it is written in Ted Husted "Struts in Action" section 8.4, black on white :) Yes it reuses the same form bean, but it resets it again, and repopulate it again. That is why he had inserted in his scaffolds package BaseForm.java a method for set/getMutable() so that the first action will set the mutability of the bean form to false preventing the repopulation to occur or more accurate to change the values of properties on the form bean.

RE: Remove a key from collection.
I don't really have the entire picture here but I would suggest: In you PropertiesBean split between the known, and dynamic containers of properties and then in the page pull them using different property on the PropertiesBean. This way it would be much more clear which is expected and which is dynamically added. Simply put to HashMaps on the PropBean and two sets of set/get to get and set those properties. This is only one solution I guess there are more. :) Hope this helps, Erez -Original Message- From: K.M.Prabhu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 3:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Remove a key from collection.

Actions Best Practice
I am looking for the best practice for writing Actions in my application. For example: I have a forgot password action where the users are taken to a page where they can enter their username and click 'sumbit' and another page is shown saying that their password was sent to their registered email. Several options: A) Have two actions: 1. InitForgotPasswordAction.java - just for showing the page and if thereis some logic to do first then do it here. 2. SendForgotPasswordAction.java - handles the send. B) Single action ForgotPasswordAction with dispatch 'init' and 'send'. One of the problem I found with 'action=init' method, is that the validation is activated automatically for both cases (both init & send), and fails of course on the 'init' cause no field is yet in the form. So I was forced to configure 'validate=false' and call it manually in the Action code.
