[OT] BSF still alive?
Hi, I know this is way off topic, but I was wondering if someone you help me out with a bunch of questions related to BSF: Does anyone know the current status of BSF? Is it still actively developed (I see the last release on the IBM site was from 2001 and 2002 from the apache site)? Was it superseded by something? Are there decent (up to date) resource available? I'd really appreciate any help, but you may want to take it off line since it's not directly struts related... Thanks! /greg -- Gregory F.

bean:write
I haven't been able to confirm this first hand, but one of my team members (who is not on this list) is trying to do a bean:write. The problem is that sometimes, the bean that is being displayed is null. My question is what is the proper way to handle this? We tried to play with the ignore="true" attribute for been:write should handle this, but it doesn't appear to work. We could do a logic:ifPresent (or whatever that tag is), but if we had to do it in a bunch of places, it could make things ugly. Any help would be appreciated... Thanks! /greg -- Gregory F.

Struggling with Struts: Forms, submits and links
Hi all... I am having a recurring issue while developing my app using struts. I know I h ave discussed it here before, and some workarounds were presented, but I want to reiterate the problem again because I can't believe others are not running into it as often as I am. The problem is that I have forms that I need to have clickable text in them. For example, I have a list of names, addresses, etc. One per row. I have a "new search" submit button and a "next" and "prev" button. I am using a LookupDispatchAction to distinguish the three. But, I also need to be able to click on the name to bring up the details for that row. It can't be a button, it must be text. The solution has been to do some form of jsp where I call the jsp "submit" method passing in some hodgepodge list of arguments to call my action with the appropriate parameter set. This is such a kludge for what I find to be a very common webapp occurrence. Am I missing something obvious? Or is there just no way to do this in struts? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated... Thanks, /greg -- Gregory F.

Action parameter field
I have an tag that is passing paramId, paramName and paramProperty to a LookupDispatchAction action. How can I set the parameter so the LookupDispatchAction functions properly? I know I can do it with javascript, but I don't like hardcoding the parameter in the jsp. I also know that the html:link tag can take a map, but I don't know how to build that in my jsp. I was thinking of having the link call a forward action and that action could specify a parameter in addition to the one that I set, but I'm not sure if this can be done, and I can't find any reference as to the syntax of the parameter attribute of an action in the struts-config.xml file. Is it something like: parameter="my.forward.location;myAction=processrequest" ? Thanks, /greg -- Gregory F.

Nested properties and vectors
I have a class that contains a member that is a vector. I have a vector
of these objects in the session and I am iterating through them.
I need to access the first element in that sub-vector. How does one go
about doing this?
For example:
public myClass {
mySubClass[] sl;
...
}
public mySubClass {
String s;
...
}
and in my action, something like:
new mySubList sl = new Vector();
new myList l = new myClass();
l.setV(v);
In my jsp, I have something like:
How do I get that sl[0].s into my jsp? I'm looking for an "as
struts-only" solution as I can find.
Thanks...

Passing variables for logic:iterate
Ok, this is probably a dumb questio, but here it goes...
I am trying to iterate over a portion of a list. I have calculated the
portion (the offset and length) in my action. I have two entries in my
DynaValidatorForm:
And I am doing a myform.set("pageOffset", String.valueOf(myCalcOffset));
etc.
The iterate is:
It just plain doesn't work. If I substitute something like "5" for
pageOffset or pageLength, it works like a champ.
What am I missing? It's got to be something simple...

Max was on the right track, just wrong place (even though he is right
about what he pointed out!).
This is new to me (the whole naming convention thing), and it was
pointed out that the setter must take the same type as the getter
returns.
I did that, and it worked.

Re: jsp -> java naming issue
Ok, how about dem apples?
I added the following code to my jsp file inside the outer iterate just
before the inner iterate references the wireData property:
<% System.out.println("Wire = " + item.getWireData()); %>
I can access the wireData() no problem, and then I get the servlet
error:
[ServletException in:/bf/search/results.jsp] No getter method for
property wireData of bean item'
(notice the single, single quote - did someone forget one?).
I think there is some map getting trashed someplace in the struts code.
Does that sound possible?
Or... Could WLS 6.1SP4 have a bug in the jsp compilation?
Just thinking out loud...

Re: jsp -> java naming issue
Ok, you asked for it! :-)
This is kind of circular, so I have to pick some place to start.
I will start by showing how the vectors are created, and then move
towards the jsp... All comments removed to save space.
While looking at the code snippets, look at the "LOOK HERE - # !!!"
(there are two). If setWireData is called in the adapter and
property="wireData" is used in the jsp, it fails with the no getter
error. If either of them use the Xyzzy getter it works.
The same thing occurs if I don't use the nested iterate and just do a
bean:write.
I hope this makes sense! Thanks!

YASJR (Yet Another Struts Justification Request)
I seem to have successfully pushed Struts in my company (a big Wall St. bank). However, today, I was asked the following question: How can I guarantee that there are no hacks, bombs, etc. in the Struts code or any OS code for that matter? My immediate response was, how can you guarantee it for any code? However, being a large bank with literally trillions of dollars a day passing though our systems, I can definitely understand their concern. At a minimum, we will obtain the source code and at least do a minimal code walk-through and then compile our own binaries. What other guarantees can I make to my management? What is the process the Struts team uses to control a rogue contributor? Thanks, /greg -- Gregory F.

Using the validator for client side field modifications
Hi. I've been reading through some of the documentation and I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. I'm sure (famous last words) that this is possible, but I need confirmation for a presentation I'm making. I have a form with text fields that I need to convert to upper case, verify they contain only numbers, etc., but I need to do it "real time", i.e. using onBlur (this is due to the fact that I am converting an existing application and need similar functionality). The users want to see the fields converted and checked when they tab/click out of the fields. I have been reading about the validator and the "validator:javascript formname=myForm" / "onSubmit=validateMyForm" tag combo, but I'm not sure it does what I want as it seems to be doing a *form* validation. Could someone point me in the correct direction? My goal is to consolidate all the javascript into the validator.xml file so I can reference it by name. Should I just be using a simple javascript include instead? Thanks, /greg -- Gregory F.

Struts, search, and approval...
First a quick note. It seems that searching of the struts list archive is not working. A search for "forward" in the body is returning zero results. I think there should be just a few hits for that one. :-) Next, I have developed a POC for a product I'm working on. However, struts is not currently an "approved" tool where I work. I am looking for statements by big companies / organizations like (especially) Sun, Weblogic, IBM, etc. that are endorsing this tool. I am also looking for a "Top 10" list of reason why we should approve it as a viable tool irrespective of what other companies think. I think this was mentioned here a few weeks ago (which is why I mentioned the issue with searching above), so I'll apologize up front for starting this thread again.

multi-user development
I am about to allow others to work on my project now that I've set up much of the framework. I can see a few problems, most notable is the struts-config.xml file. I believe there will be much contention for this file. I seem to recall a discussion about splitting this file up into multiple config files, but it appears that the search facility on the apache/struts site is down. Is splitting the config file possible? If so, how? Also, assuming the above is possible, what are others doing for this? I.e., do you have multiple config files based on modules in your app? For example, I assume the way *not* to do this would be to have an "action-config.xml" file, but rather a "functional-area1.xml" file. But, this assumes you can have multiple tags/sections for things like global-forwards and action-mappings. Can you? Any insight would be really appreciated. Thanks! /greg -- Gregory F.

Forwarding to a tile definition
So, now I'm playing with forwarding to a tile definition as per
Keith's suggestion.
mapping.findForward("mytileforward") inside my action works just fine.
However, doesn't.
I have
in my struts-config.xml.
What is the difference? And, how can I forward to a tile definition
from an html:link tag?
Thanks!

Wizard forms
How are wizard forms (multipage forms) typically done in the struts framework? I have done the following and I'm running into a few configuration and usability problems that seem to indicate that I did something wrong. I have the following: * Main tile page that contains a header, menu, body and footer. * The body tile contains parts of the form with multiple submit buttons, a "save", "cancel", "reset", "previous" and "next". * When the user hits next or prev, the action redirects to a forward with a ?page=n so that the main tile page can display the correct body. * Based on the "page" parameter, the main tile page will change the body of the page to a different .jsp for each of the pages in the multipart form. * A DynaActionForm that has session scope to maintain the data across pages. Does this sound right? My issues are with that "page" property to manage the content of the body tile - it doesn't seem natural in this framework to do it this way. As usual, any comments are really appreciated... Thanks, /greg -- Gregory F.

html:errors tag lost?
While playing with Kevin's action input= suggestion, I found I needed to mess with the redirect= values. If I set redirect=true, my relative paths work fine. However, I am using the html:errors tag and it seems that it has gotten "lost", i.e. I do not get my validation errors displayed. I'm still not entirely clear on how the html:errors tag works, but I have this in my tile jsp: And when I have redirect=false, I get things like "Password is required" in the html, but the url is my .do and my relative paths don't work and I can't see my images.

DynaValidatorForm setup
Hi all, I am about to embark on learning about the validation features of struts. I currently have a dynamic form (configured in struts-config) used as a wizard interface and I would like to validate several of those fields. I am reading the O'Reilly book _Programming Jakarta Struts_ and I'm confused about what I need to do. The book refers to a files called "validation.xml" and about setting up the plugin. I am using struts 1.1 and I don't have a validation.xml file. I do have a validator-rules.xml and several dtd's that have DEPRECATED all through out them. My question is, if I want to add a "formset" (as described on page 272), where do I put it? Do I need to set up a plug in? Also, what are those "arg0's" pointing to? As an aside, has anyone else found that this book covers a lot of bredth, but not nearly enough depth? Every time I start working on part of my project, the book leads me in a certain direction, but falls short of actually getting there. Thank goodness for this list and the archives...
