Errors resolving html:text property attribute

2004-03-24 Thread McClung, Brian
I've tracked down the internal PD error message to the use of a bean within
a bean within a bean.  For some reason, html:text is no longer able to
handle the following statement:

html:text name=regForm property=user.user.userName /

It is able to handle:
html:text name=regForm property=user.userName /

When using the first line of code the following exception is thrown:
java.lang.Error: PropertyDescriptor: internal error while merging PDs: type

Has anybody encountered this problem before?  I have verified that the

Internal error while merging PD's

2004-03-23 Thread McClung, Brian
I recently started getting this exception on code that had been working
before.  I have checked that the get method and set method return and accept
the same type (in this case a String).  I saw the earlier post indicating
that the accessor methods had been mismatched, but in this case I have
checked and double checked to make sure that they each match.  Any help
would be appreciated.

RE: referrer url

2004-03-23 Thread McClung, Brian
Careful doing this.  If an end user is running a personal firewall or has
very high security settings, the referrer may not be set.  In this case your
application will need a back up plan in order to build the appropriate URL.

Hi
 I am trying to get the referrer URL using JSTL or JSP. Is there a way ?


I have a link in an email that hits an action. So in order to identify
the action was hit from the email link I appended a parameter to the URL.
Now I want to do something if the action was hit from the email link.


Any thoughts.

RE: ActionClass

2004-02-24 Thread McClung, Brian
No, you can use 

(String) request.getHeader(referer); 

To get the refering URL, but personal firewalls and even browser settings
allow it to be turned off, so you will always need to have a backup
mechanism for loading from the referer in the case where it's null.

I have created a Dynamic Action class (DynaAction) that allows a page to

your action states at the page level using hidden tags, it gives more
visibility into the application that what you otherwise might want to have.
To use the code below, extend from DynaAction and inside your class call
addState(String stateName, String URL) for each state that your action could
result in.  When you are ready to return the ActionMapping, call
loadState(String stateName, ActionMapping, HttpServletRequest).  If you need

2003-12-05 Thread McClung, Brian
The property file usage works well if you have an application that is
deployed once and doesn't change that often.  Also if there aren't several
apps running off the same domain.  In my case it doesn't work well because
there is so much information that changes, potentially from day to day, that
the property file rapidly becomes unmaintainable.  Plus, with the property
file solution I need to be involved in the creative designers process.

You can easily move your application specific configuration to other
configuration files (i.e. ApplicationResources or tiles-defs.xml). You
don't have to use the mapping.findForward() at all in your Actions,
instead, read these values from ApplicationResource files.

I have to disagree with you on the first point. I find that there is
just a small amount of necessary configuration required to build an

really

RE: Disadvantages of Struts?

2003-12-04 Thread McClung, Brian
Robert,

I've gone to the opposite extreme as you.  I don't want the action to be
responsible for where it goes, only for telling users which forward states
it supports.  I've removed the forward from both the Action and the
struts-config.xml file.  The action still returns the forward, but the
forward is dynamically created based on what the page has passed to the
action.  In my situation I resorted to this because I was using a single
action to handle multiple applications on the same site.  This meant that my
path would not be the same between each application.  Resorting to multiple
mappings in the configuration file would rapidly get out of control for me
as some of these applications can be created and removed rather quickly.  I
do have separate pages per application and this is why the page drives the
actions result.

I know this bends the MVC pattern, but it allows me to concentrate on
developing actions, form beans, and all the back end business logic, while
letting the Creative Designers develop pages and GUI workflow.

Having a confgiration nudges you toward design and separation, and

In fact, when not doing Web apps, I use HiveMind, just so that I can

FAQ #2:

I would say this about Struts:

Sturts is like a kindergarden, we put our boots here, our books here; 
thus they allow people to know where to find things on a project. 
Presnetation here, Data Layer here;
And also people know generaly what they should be doing:
Once you have a form (html) mock up, you know what the formbean should 
be (it mapps). Just get the form bean to CRUD via DAO.

Also a few consider dynambeans a bad practice.

I consier them a not as good as form beans, they are harder to unit test 
among other things.

 Robert,
 
 I've gone to the opposite extreme as you.  I don't want the action to be
 responsible for where it goes, only for telling users which forward states
 it supports.  I've removed the forward from both the Action and the
 struts-config.xml file.  The action still returns the forward, but the
 forward is dynamically created based on what the page has passed to the
 action.  In my situation I resorted to this because I was using a single
 action to handle multiple applications on the same site.  This meant that
my
 path would not be the same between each application.  Resorting to
multiple
 mappings in the configuration file would rapidly get out of control for me
 as some of these applications can be created and removed rather quickly.
I
 do have separate pages per application and this is why the page drives the
 actions result.
 
 I know this bends the MVC pattern, but it allows me to concentrate on
 developing actions, form beans, and all the back end business logic, while
 letting the Creative Designers develop pages and GUI workflow.

2003-11-24 Thread McClung, Brian
I've been using struts for over two years now and enjoy the benefits that it
has brought to my code.  An issue that I have always had with it is the
struts-config.xml file.  We have a custom built registration and survey
system that struts is the controller for.  The backend engine supports most
of our surveys and contests as well as other backend processes.  For
contests we have a process where a new contest requires a creative designer
to create a signin, registration and thank you page for their contest and
then they include the standard signin and registration templates on their
pages.  The thank you page is simply a final page that everything can
resolve to.  When I originally started using struts the configuration file
had to be set up with 2 action-mappings pointing to each contest.  With 24
sites running contests the file rapidly became unmaintainable.  

The DynaAction was created to solve this problem.  Through a hashtable
created by each action object the DynaAction is able to redirect a single
action to many different pages.  I still use the state definitions as a
communication method, but I typically don't even define the states in the
struts-config.xml document any more.  The process is fairly simply, if there
is a field in the request that matches the state, then the value of that
field is used to redirect on that state.  If it is missing, the action looks
to the config file, and if that is missing then there is typically a default
page coded into the action itself.  

I'm curious to know what the group thinks about this extension and how it
fits in/breaks the struts architecture.  I'm surprised that something like
this doesn't already exist, I've found it to be a great addition to the API.
Any feedback or opinions about using a class like this in struts would be
appreciated.

Yes, I've got several Vectors sitting on the form.  It seems that all other

I'm not sure if this is what you were asking about,
but you can use html:messages instead of html:errors
to give a little more control over displaying errors. 
The html:messages tag iterates over the errors so you
can insert markup around an individual message.  You
can also use the property attribute to retrieve a
message for an individual property (html:errors and
html:messages) so you could display an error message
next to each field.

Single form made from multiple form objects

2001-09-25 Thread McClung, Brian

I have a form that combines elements from mulitple form elements, some of
which are represented as vectors within the main form.  When I try to access
some of the getters that are nested within the main form struts is not
building the get reference correctly.  Has anyone tried to do this?  Does

ActionForm Registration
includes:
ActionForm User
Vector of ActionForm Question
Vector of ActionForm Answer

Registration.jsp is passed Registration form, but needs to pull the answer
for a particular Answer, ie ((AnswerForm) vector[index]).elementName

the elemenName should be referenced by the appropriate get and set syntax,
but so far I have been unable to figure out the appropriate mechanism for
getting it parsed correctly.

Thanks for any help!

Servlet Exception

2001-08-29 Thread McClung, Brian

I am trying to verify an installation with the struts-blank app.  I am
getting a 500 Servlet Exception at the taglib descriptor:
The message is:

/struts-blank/index.jsp:2: org.apache.struts.taglib.bean.CookieTei

I'm using Resin2.0.1.  I've seen this before but I don't know how I got it
to go away.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

RE: Running The Struts Example Application

2001-08-29 Thread McClung, Brian

I'm seeing the same error message running under Resin2.0.1.  The odd thing
is that the app works just fine on my development box (W2K running
resin2.0.1) but when I move it over to the test environment (Redhat 7
running resin2.0.1) it doesn't work.  I've tried recompiling and that
doesn't seem to do anything either.  Any ideas?

Try under Tomcat 3.2.3.   Otherwise, if you really want to get it to run
under Tomcat 4, research some of the older messages in this archive (you
need to replace the xml parsing jar files which come with Tomcat 4.

Hi,
I am running Tomcat 4.0 and am trying to run the Struts 1.0 sample
application, struts-example.war.  I have moved this file into the Tomcat
webapp directory, however when I try to access it I get the following
error:
