Bean:define and nulls
Hi, I want to use a bean:define tag within a logic:iterate tag to set a bean value to null. How can I do this if I can not use the same value for the id attibute. thanks Jordan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
hashmaps and hash tables in JSPs

How to handle a multiple select tag
Hi,
I have a form that has an html:select tag that looks like this:
html:select property=permissions multiple=true size=10 tabindex=5
html:options collection=allPermissions property=permissionId
labelProperty=permissionName/
/html:select
This renders out as intended but when I submit my form to an ActionForm that
has a method that looks like this:
public void setPermissions( String[] permissions ) {
Integer permissionId = null;
for (int i = 0; i permissions.length; i++){
permissionId = new Integer(permissions[i]);
this.permissions.add( new PermissionData(permissionId, null) );
}
}
This essentially takes the permissions and adds them to a Collection. For
some reason though, the permissions String[] is null. Why isn't this getting
submitted?
thanks for your help

RE: How to handle a multiple select tag
Thanks Sri for the help. I have updated the code to reflect your
suggestions. I actually had an ArrayList in there originally and I changed
it to an String[] because I was receiving the following error.
javax.servlet.ServletExcepion: BeanUtils.populate
...
--- Root Cause --
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Argument Type Mismatch
Obviously I am trying to pass the wrong kind of value into the method but I
am not sure how to get around this. Any more suggestions?

Is this setter being called at all? If the 'permissions' property of your
form-bean is some kind of List (as it seems looking at the setter you have
shown) I don't think this setter will be invoked at all. Struts will look
for a
void setPermissions(List x)
method. Likewise when you displayed the page Struts would have obtained the
default selection(s) from calling a
List getPermissions()
method.
I haven't given you a definitive answer but hopefully this provided a clue.

Help:: Indexed properties and form
Hi,
I have successfully created a JSP to output a collection that looks like
this:
logic:iterate id=permissionLanguage name=permissionForm
property=permissionLanguageData
tr
td
bean:write name=permissionLanguage
property=languageName/
html:hidden name=permissionLanguage property=languageId
indexed=true/
/td
td colspan=2
html:hidden name=permissionLanguage
property=permissionTranslationId indexed=true/
html:text name=permissionLanguage
property=permissionName indexed=true maxlength=200/
/td
/tr
/logic:iterate
%%%
Which will in turn generate:
tr
td
Italiano
input type=hidden name=permissionLanguage[0].languageId
value=it
/td
td colspan=2
input type=hidden
name=permissionLanguage[0].permissionTranslationId value=1
input type=text
name=permissionLanguage[0].permissionName value=test
/td
/tr
tr
td
English
input type=hidden name=permissionLanguage[1].languageId
value=en
/td
td colspan=2
input type=hidden
name=permissionLanguage[1].permissionTranslationId value=2
input type=text
name=permissionLanguage[1].permissionName value=test 2
/td
/tr
%%%
and my form class looks something like:
public final class PermissionForm extends ValidatorForm {
/**
* The Collection to hold all of the PermissionLanguageData objects
*/
private ArrayList records = null;
/**
* Standard constructor.
*/
public PermissionForm() {
}
/**
* Get a specific row from the records ArrayList, based on index
*
* @param index The index of the row to retrieve
*/
public PermissionLanguageData getPermissionLanguage(int index) {
// a a bit of test code
System.out.println(index = + index);
System.out.println(records.size() = + records.size());
return (PermissionLanguageData) records.get(index);
}
/**
* Copies the data from the EJB into the form.
*
* @param value The Collection of PermissionLanguageData
*/
public void copyFrom( Collection value ) {
records = new ArrayList(value);
this.permission = ((PermissionLanguageData)
records.get(1)).getPermission();
}
/**
* Returns a Collection of PermissionLanguageData
*
* @return The Collection of PermissionLanguageData object
*/
public Collection getPermissionLanguageData() {
return this.records;
}
}
%%%
This part is just what I wanted as it should allow me to edit my
recordHowever, I thought that this would work without a problem but I now
have the problem that when I submit my form, the Collection (it's an
ArrayList) that I am trying to populate/edit is empty. How do I ensure that
the ArrayList in my form class that I am submitting to contains the
Collection of objects that I am trying to edit? I am not sure how this would
be done because the form class gets called before the action class. All I
can think of is to add a couple of lines to add a new row into the ArrayList
in the getPermissionLanguage() method.
The error that I am getting is caused by a
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException
Any suggestions that anyone may have would be greatly appreciated as I have
been stuffing around with this for some time now.

Another idea would be to make use of a struts plugin. These are actually
very simple to write!
Just implement PlugIn and its init() method and add to struts-config and
bobs yer uncle.
btw: the signature of the init method changed between 1.1b1 and 1.1b2. If
you do the following trick your Plugin should work in both environments (I
havent tested it though!):
public void init(ApplicationConfig config) throws ServletException
{
try
{
ActionServlet servlet =
(ActionServlet)PropertyUtils.getProperty(config,servlet);
init(servlet,config);
}
catch(Throwable t)
{
throw new ServletException(Error in init(config) method,t);
}
}
public void init(ActionServlet servlet, ApplicationConfig config) throws
ServletException
{
// your code here
}
(Why I dont just use getServlet() escapes my memory. Maybe the later version
doesnt have a getServlet() in the config object?)
To add to your struts config (right down near the end of it):
plug-in className=com.mypackage.MyPlugIn
set-property property=bob value=a job/
/plug-in
the set-property tags are optional, but you can use them to pass parameters
to your plugin (in which you would define a setBob() method)

You can define context-params in your web.xml file that will be application
init variables. You could also setup a servlet to be loaded when the

the servlet.init() method it's pretty easy to get ahold of the

In my action class, when I first enter the page the error.empty() returns true which is correct but then when I submit a form, I receive a 404 error. I've included the action class just in case that helps. I suspect that this is something quite basic but I am having real problems with this. thanks in advance Jordan LoginAction.java Description: Binary data -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

getInputForward() problem
Hi, I am using the getInputForwardMethod() to return a user to the form that has errors on it. OK, that is working except it seems to be leading to the wrong place. I need to go to http://localhost:8080/scoop/login/1.do from http://localhost:8080/scoop/login.do. I think that instead I am been taken to http://localhost:8080/login.do when I am returned to my input form. (My application is called 'scoop') I am receiving a 404 error which says The requested resrouce (/login) is not available. Any suggestions? thanks Jordan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: AW: Workflow Extention
Hi Matthias
OK, I have modified my workflow as I have seen the obvious errors in what I
was trying to do. Now I have the problem that my second action (see code
below) does not allow me to enter that step. The message that I am getting
is Previous state does not match any allowed previous state!. From what I
can see, the previousState of the second step does match the newState
of the first step. One thing that I have noticed is that when I enter the
first state it says Current State: null. Any ideas?
thanks
Jordan

Subject: Re: AW: Workflow Extention
Jordan,
I think I understand pretty well, what you are trying to do. However
according to your configuration you should not be able to execute
/registration/2 before having executed /registration/1.
Here are some examples:
/registration - /registration/1 - /registration/1-/registration/2 -
this should work
/registration - /registration/1 - /registration/3 - this should fail
with the last action
/registration - /registration/1 - /registration/2-/registration/1 -
this should fail with the last action
/registration - /registration/1 - /someAction-/registration/2 - this
should work, if /someAction is not part of the workflow
Maybe you can try these examples out and see if it works as expected.
Remark to the last example: The last example works, if /someAction is
not part of the registration-workflow, because it does not change the
state of this workflow.

What makes me think that it is disregarding the wrokflow is that I can
enter the workflow at an point (i.e /registration/2) without having
executed any of the other steps. Essentially, all I want to do is not
control where the user goes but where the user came from. This way, it
cascades backwards ensuring that the user enters in all of the data.
Is this clearer? Hopefully you have an idea on how to solve this one.

/registration/2 can not be executed before /registration/1, and so
on.
What the configuration does NOT prohibit, is to execute /registration
or any other action after /registration/1 or /registration/2,
because you are not defining nextState values.
Do you see something else? What lets you think that it seems to be

Workflow Extention
Hi All, I am using the workflow extention to create my workflows. It seems that when I am in the middle of a workflow, there is no way to allow the user to jump out of the workflow into another area of the application. I have tried specifying a * and a *.do as a nextPath parameter but that doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know how to gain a little more flexibility with this framework? All I want to do is stop people from jumping steps/entering into the middle of a workflow. At the moment, it seems that a user needs to enter a workflow and then complete that workflow before a he/she can leave it. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can work around this?

Dynaform error
Hi, I have set up my form using dynaform functionality. Everything seemed OK, until the point when I started adding my validation functionality. Anyway, it seems to be that when I add my validator:javascript formName=loginForm/ tag to the top of my page I get the following error: 14:36:08,436 ERROR [Engine] ApplicationDispatcher[/scoop] Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.struts.validator.taglib.html.JavascriptValidatorTag.doStartTa g(Unknown Source) at org.apache.jsp.formCompanyRegistration$jsp._jspService(formCompanyRegist ration$jsp.java:1720) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:107) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.service(JspServle t.java:201) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:381) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:473) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) ..etc...etc... As soon as I take the tag out my form goes back to working again. I am using tiles and the workflow framework within my application so I thought that maybe this is what is causing the error. It also happens in both actions that are declared as session or request scope variables. I am using version 1.1 of struts. As for my config file, it looks like this: form-bean name=loginForm dynamic=true type=org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm form-property name=action type=java.lang.String / form-property name=username type=java.lang.String / form-property name=password type=java.lang.String / /form-bean ... action-mappings action path=/login/1 type=scoop.web.struts.login.LoginAction className=com.livinglogic.struts.workflow.ApplicationMapping name=loginForm scope=request validate=true set-property property=authtype value=scoop.web.authentication.Authentication/ set-property property=primaryWorkflow value=login-workflow/ set-property property=newState value=1/ set-property property=nextState value=2/ set-property property=endWorkflow value=false/ forward name=success path=/tiles/login_step1/ /action action path=/login/2 type=scoop.web.struts.login.LoginAction className=com.livinglogic.struts.workflow.ApplicationMapping name=loginForm scope=request validate=true set-property property=authtype value=scoop.web.authentication.Authentication/ set-property property=primaryWorkflow value=login-workflow/ set-property property=newState value=2/ set-property property=prevState value=1/ set-property property=endWorkflow value=true/ forward name=success path=loggedinhome/ /action ... /action-mappings Has anyone seen this before and more importantly does anyone know what could be causing this?
