Re: Struts officially supported at Ford

I didn't read anything in the quote the mentioned v1.1b2.  It sounds to me like maybe 
IBM has tailored whatever beta version they started with to the point where they want 
their developers to use that as their common base.

 It's certainly good that they're using 1.1, but somewhat unfortunate
 that they stopped at b2.

Re: Making a Form non-editable

2003-01-21 Thread Mark Lepkowski
We have a field that at times needs to be non-editable but displayed and other times 
editable independent of user role.  

To accomplish that we use a logic:equals tag to determine which to display the 
active inputs or the read-only display with hidden inputs.  If we're displaying 
read-only, then we carry the actual values in a html:hidden tag and disable the 
corresponding input tag (e.g., checkbox)...

Yes, you understand me correctly.  An example might be:

%-- active checkbox: --%
logic:equals name=myForm property=isWritable scope=request value=true
html:checkbox name=myField
/logic:equals

%-- disabled (readonly) checkbox --%
logic:equals name=myForm property=isWritable scope=request value=false
input type=checkbox checked disabled
html:hidden name=myField/
/logic:equals

 Hello Mark.
 
  
 Just so I don't misuderstand, are you saying that for each input tag there 
 is a corresponding hidden tag. If displaying read-only data, then input tag 
 corresponding hidden tag is shown and the input tag is disabled. Correct??
 
 If my understanding is correct, how do you programmatically disable the 
 input tag? I know the disable attribute has to be set to true. At what 
 point do I do this.
 
 I am sorry if the answere to this is obvious :)

 Another potential cause in your case -- if you're using Tomcat 3.2.x,

Is Tomcat v3.3.1 sufficient for Struts v1.1 (we need to use a Tomcat engine that's

 It should be.  You'll also like the performance improvements of either
 3.3.1 or 4.1.18 :-).
 
 Note also that 4.1.18 can be used to develop Servlet 2.2/JSP 1.1 apps
 (compatible with WebSphere v4.0), as long as you're careful to avoid the
 features from the newer specs.

Re: reset doesn't work well

In my experience, the reset condition is the state that the form was in when it was 
loaded.  So if you have a checkbox set when the form is loaded, uncheck it, and click 
[Reset], the checkbox becomes checked again.

 Hi:
 I have a problem with reset button. In my jsp file, I have
 html:reset/. In my form class, I have: 
 
   public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) {
 amount = null;
 
 password = null;
}
 
 in the struts-config.xml file, it has:
 
actionpath=/xxx
type=yyy
name=myForm
   scope=request
 
   input=/zzz.jsp
   forward name=success path=/zzz.jsp/
 /action
 
 I filled out the fields, if I click reset button before submit the form,
 the fields are cleared. But if I submit the form first, and it detects
 some error(for example: the password is not correct), the form is showed
 with error message. In this case, when I click reset button, the fields
 are not cleared. What is wrong with this. I really want the fields can
 be cleared if errors are detected. Could someone help me out?
 
 Thanks.

(snip)
 
 
 Use servlet context attributes to share information between all the
 sessions in your webapp.

Thanks for the info.  I knew there had to be something in the servlet scope, but 
didn't know quite where to find it.  The following works in any of our classes that 
extend Action:

servlet.getServletContext().setAttribute( myAttribute, myAttribute );

and likewise

MyAttribute myAttribute = (MyAttribute)servlet.getServletContext().getAttribute( 
myAttribute );

I noticed that:
- servlet is declared a protected transient ActionServlet in ActionServletWrapper, 
- ActionForm has the getter method for the wrapper,
- RequestUtils.populate() calls the getter,
- ActionServlet calls RequestUtils.populate()

What I don't follow is how the servlet object is exposed in the Action subclasses.

  Subject: Struts file upload validation problem


  I have just written a document upload tool for a customer using the struts
  upload functionality.  My upload jsp consists of one form that is of course
  a multipart/form-data form.  The form consists of the file field along with
  other text fields where the user enters various information( owner, title,
  etc.) about the file to be uploaded.  The problem I'm having is that once
  you submit the form struts immediately starts uploading the file before any
  of the other data in the form is validated.  So, in my case, the user tries
  to upload a large file but enters invalid information for the other text
  fields.  Struts then uploads the file before validating the form data.  So
  when the user corrects their mistake they have to re-upload the file yet
  again.  Is it possible to have the form data validated before the file is
  uploaded?  I would rather not use javascript for error checking.  Any help
  is appreciated.  Thanks...
