RE: Using JSTL Instead of Nested Tags

2004-03-25 Thread Robert Taylor
Mike, you will have to expose the form like:



...where "myForm" is its name defined in the struts-config file.

If its DynaForm then you have to expose the form map:



Once you do this, you can use JSTL to access and render values:

RE: user login authentication and session timeout

2004-03-22 Thread Robert Taylor
Charles, you can use container managed security or the SecurityFilter  to authenticate 
users when accessing protected resources. You
can set the session time out by adding something like the following to your web.xml 
file:


60




You can find more information on SecurityFilter here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/securityfilter/

Your servlet container documentation should let you know how to
implement container managed security.

RE: action - delegate - facade

2004-03-18 Thread Robert Taylor
Adam, I think Nick was just asking about the trip from the server to the client, 
not from the client to the server. As already discussed, the method for transfering
user input to the business tier would be to copy the values from the action form to 
the appropriate DTO's using BeanUtils or some other method.

RE: action - delegate - facade

2004-03-17 Thread Robert Taylor
Well, I would say it depends. If I had a DTO ( a domain object) which had all the 
fields
I needed to display...including types like int, Date, boolean, etc... I would probably 
just
pass that along to the form bean and let view helpers like the Struts tags or JSTL 
render
the contents. With JSTL you can format Dates and numbers. I believe those tags 
leverage the
java.text.* package for formatting data. 

If I needed to perform some specialized formatting which could not be done by
view helpers then I may just convert the necessary fields to Strings (maybe using 
BeanUtils)
format them, and populate my ActionForm. 

If the view I needed of the data was not encapsulated in a single DTO, then 
you could retrieve multiple DTO objects and rendered them as described above or use a 
pattern 
described as Transfer Object Assembler which builds a custom DTO or a collection of 
customer DTO
objects which you could pass along to the ActionForm.

You can read more about Transfer Object Assembler here:
http://java.sun.com/blueprints/corej2eepatterns/Patterns/TransferObjectAssembler.html

RE: action - delegate - facade

2004-03-17 Thread Robert Taylor
Adam, its frowned upon to pass a web tier object (ActionForm) into the business
tier. I believe a widely used technique is to use BeanUtils to copy the properties
from the ActionForm to a DTO (a Domain Object) which can  be passed to the
business tier.

RE: SSLEXT

2004-03-17 Thread Robert Taylor
Did you correct the typo in your original action mapping?

You had: parameter="tiles.inicial"
Instead of: parameter="tiles.initial"

Also, as David already pointed out, make sure you are using
SecureTilesPlugin, and SecureTilesRequestProcessor.

When you say it doesn't work, do you get any error messages?

The following should work without changing any code in your LoginAction:


  
 

 My forward:
 

 

 My LoginAction after a sucessful login:
 return mapping.findForward("initial");

 Now I have this action to forward to the tiles definition:
 

 

Note that "prefix" is what ever prefix you are using to invoke the
Struts ActionServlet.

Yes. Instead of forwarding directly to the Tile, define an action which simply 
forwards (or redirects) to that main page (tile) and
in that action mapping configuration define it to be secure using the set-property 
element.

RE: action - delegate - facade

2004-03-16 Thread Robert Taylor
Adam, IMHO the Business Delegate pattern abstracts the client from knowing
your business implementation, whether it be EBJ, JDO, POJO, roll your own. The
client interfaces with the Business Delegate and not its implementation.
For example, if you have an Action (client) interface with the Business Delegate
instead of directly with a SessionFacade, then you can change the underlying 
implementation
of the Business Delegate without changing anything in the client.
If your really paranoid (or prepared), you can use the Abstract Factory pattern which 
you could then
initialize/subclass to create the appropriate Business Delegate implementations (EJB, 
JDO, main frame).

Also by using a Business Delegate the client isn't exposed to implementation details
such as (if your using EJB) looking up the appropropriate EJB or handling 
implementation
specific exceptions. The Business Delegate becomes a high level abstraction of the
business rules raising application level exceptions when error occur to which the 
client
can respond appropriately.

So, you wouldn't necessarily have to modify the Delegate-Facade interface. The 
interface
itself remains unchanged. You have to use a different implementation. That is where 
the 
factory comes in. I imagine you could do something like the following:

Properties props = // get initialization properties
   // to initialize factory to return EJB BD implementations
BusinessDelegateFactory bdf = BusinessDelegateFactory.init(props);


In your client, suppose AccountBD is your BusinessDelegate interface:

BusinessDelegateFactory bdf = BusinessDelegateFactory.getInstance();
AccountBD accountBD = (AccountBD)bdf.createBusinessDelegate(AccountBD.BD_NAME);

So you just end up "plugging" in new implementations as needed.

Anyhow, that's my interpretation of the some of the forces behind the pattern
and an idea on implementing it.

Here's more information:

RE: logic:equal

2004-03-16 Thread Robert Taylor
Daniel, it would be easier to use JSTL for this:


The string contained the word Struts.


JSTL can compare values coming from any scope; application, session, pagecontext, 
request, or request parameters.


Currently, the  value attribute doesn not accept runtime values.
You can verify this by looking at the struts-bean.tld


Another alternative would be to use the Struts-EL tag libraries.

RE: [OT] Search string tokenizer

2004-03-15 Thread Robert Taylor
Jason and Larry, I think I'm going to investigate using regexp.

Michael, I looked into Lucene and I really don't need something that "heavy".
I just need to perform some simple searches against the database.

Thanks to everyone who responded on and off list.

[OT] Search string tokenizer

2004-03-15 Thread Robert Taylor
I did a google search on this and didn't really come up with anything useful.
Before I implement this myself, is there an existing implementation of parsing
a search string which would produce tokens similar to how Google or other search
engines parse search strings.

For example, I would like to parse a search string into tokens where tokens are 
delimited by either a blank space or a quoted phrase.

So the string:

'Struts "web presentation tier"' 

would return  2 tokens:
 - Struts
 - web presentation tier

but the string:

'Struts web presentation tier'

would return 4 tokens:
 - Struts
 - web
 - presentation
 - tier


Any help is appreciated.

In your struts-config.xml file you can define forwards to redirect instead of

Mike, I don't believe the Servlet spec. allows you to forward to another web

You will have to redirect.

+1. Join the tables in a query and write an algorithm to parse the results into
the view you need. One connection, one query, let the database do the work.
Not very OO, but very efficient.

You can't send "data structures" over HTTP you can only send strings.

You could set those values as hidden form elements with a naming
convention that would enable your server side code to recognize
the elements in the request and create the appropriate server side
data structure. This is essentially what Chris has suggested.

RE: [OT] Database locking and deadlock

2004-03-08 Thread Robert Taylor
Is it possible that dbConnection.doUpdate() gets a new connection
each time which could possibly use up (exceed max allowed) the connections in the pool.

Just a guess.

RE: Validation help for same Form, multiple pages/tabs

2004-03-05 Thread Robert Taylor
Okay. Here is what I do which may or may not help.

I have subclassed DispatchAction to handle image buttons. 
The newer Struts version may handle this, but it didn't prior
to 1.1. Image buttons may not be your problem but it has a special
method to extract the dispatched operation. 
Anyhow you can see the implementation here.

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19925


I also subclass DynaValidatorActionForm which uses the static method defined
in ImageButtonDispatchAction to "extract" the operation parameter.

 /**
 * Validate the properties that have been set from this HTTP request,
 * and return an ActionErrors object that encapsulates any
 * validation errors that have been found.  If no errors are found, return
 * null or an ActionErrors object with no
 * recorded error messages.
 *
 * @param mapping The mapping used to select this instance.
 * @param request The servlet request we are processing.
 * @return ActionErrors containing validation errors.
 */
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) {
// set the page variable before validating
Map props = this.getMap();
if (props.containsKey("page")) {
this.page = ((Integer) props.get("page")).intValue();
}

ServletContext application = getServlet().getServletContext();
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
String validationKey = this.getValidationKey(mapping, request);

logger.fine("validationKey: " + validationKey);

Validator validator =
Resources.initValidator(
validationKey, this, application, request, errors, page);
logger.fine("validator: " + validator.getClass().getName());

try {
validatorResults = validator.validate();
} catch (ValidatorException e) {
log.error(e.getMessage(), e);
}

return errors;
}


/**
 * Get the validation key used to determine which validation
 * rules will be executed. 
 * 
 * @return the validation key
 */
protected String getValidationKey(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest 
request) {

String path = mapping.getPath(); 
String parameter = mapping.getParameter();

if (parameter == null) {

return path;

}

String operation = ImageButtonDispatchAction.getOperation(parameter, 
request);
return  MessageFormat.format(
VALIDATION_KEY_TEMPLATE, new Object[]{path, 
operation});


}




This allows me to have "validation keys" of the form: "path-operation".
So in my validation.xml I have form elements that look somewhat like:









As you can see, the same action mapping path is used but the operation
is appended to them allowing for more granular validations.

This may not be the best way to handle things, but I've been using
this approach for a couple years and it works quite well.

You should be able to use either scriptlets or JSTL because they are in the

RE: ServletContextListener & init parameters

2004-03-02 Thread Robert Taylor
The problem is your servlet init parameters don't exist in the ServletContext.
If you want them to be available to your code, then define them
as init parameters to your application:


http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"; 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd";>
app name


  config
  /WEB-INF/struts-config.xml
  
   
   
  jcaConnector
  java:/eis/bongers/autos/content
   
   
  tempFile
  c:/mtbtemp
   
   
  properties_db_name
  bmpauto/bau_content.nsf
   

etc...


Then your code will yield the expected results.

RE: DispatchAction and validate

2004-03-02 Thread Robert Taylor
Yes.

The DispatchAction will only invoke the method defined in the request under the name 
defined in the parameter attribute of your
action mapping. So if I had update() and restore() as methods in a DispatchAction, and 
I only wanted to validate on the update, then
I would only define validate="true" in the action mappping for the DispatchAction 
which is designated to invoke update(). This is
assuming you have two separate action mappings which map to the same DispatchAction.

RE: Common Services across Different Actions.

2004-02-25 Thread Robert Taylor
Wrap the service in a ServletContextListener. The Servlet2.3 spec and higher mandate 
that these listeners be invoked before the
application can process requests; so initialization can take place here and they have 
access to the application init parameters
through web.xml. Then place them in ServletContext for application wide access.

RE: [OT] Sending email from struts

2004-02-11 Thread Robert Taylor
Matt, we ended up storing our email templates in a configuration file and
loading them into
memory (using Digester) at application run time. The configuration templates
can contain
both plain text and HTML message versions. We leverage the
java.text.MessageFormat
API to replace place holders in the templates with actual data.

In the application, we use a design pattern called EmailHelper. EmailHelper
provides a business
API to which the application passes information. For example, after a
customer downloads a product,
the application might do something like:

EmailHelper.getInstance().sendThankYouMessage(user, product);

where user and product are application data structures respectively
representing the current user
and the product which was just downloaded.

Subsequently, EmailHelper mines the necessary data from the arguments and
then performs
lower level operations such as retrieving the appropriate email template
from the
in memory configurations, populating the template and then persisting the
email to the
appropriate queue where it will be delivered later.

A different application (daemon) periodically retrieves unsent email from
the queue and
sends them using the JavaMail API.


It has worked quite well so far. If we need to tweak the templates, we can
do so and reload
the configurations. You could take this idea a step further and store the
templates in the database.

This does seem like a common task in applications and it would be nice if
there were some standard
framework to use, but I don't know of any in development currently.

RE: Using Parameter in Action via the struts-config.xml

ActionMapping.getParameter() will get you the value of the parameter
attribute.

It works for me. You have to subclass ActionMapping and declare it in your
struts-config file.




So when you use set-property, Struts can set those values using reflection.
My guess as to why
its not working is that it silently fails to set those properties because
they don't exist
in the default ActionMapping class.

RE: global data objects -- best practices?

2004-02-04 Thread Robert Taylor
Yes, the ServletContext is the most appropriate place to put it if you
want your data to be available during the life time of the application.

If your container conforms to Servlet spec. 2.3 or higher, a
solution is to implement one or more ServletContextListener(s). 
Is the a best practice? I think that may be subjective, but it does
not bind you to any third party solutions.

The container must invoke these upon application start up before it
processes any requests.

For more information refer to the Servlet 2.3 spec or higher.

RE: [OT] looking for a method that will be called on application startup

2004-02-03 Thread Robert Taylor
The ServletContextListener does exactly what you want.
When the web application starts the
ServletContextListener.contextInitialized() is
invoked passing you ServletContextEvent which contains the ServletContext.
These are guaranteed to be invoked before the web application can process
any requests. It's simply an interface which you implement (2 methods) then
define in your
web.xml file.

For more information refer to the Servlet 2.3 spec or higher.

RE: Validation problem

2004-01-29 Thread Robert Taylor
What's the name of your "Cancel" button? Struts should not validate
if it finds org.apache.struts.taglib.html.CANCEL or
org.apache.struts.taglib.html.CANCEL.x

Take a look at the RequestProcessor.processValidate() code:

 if (request.getAttribute(Globals.CANCEL_KEY) != null) {
if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
log.debug(" Cancelled transaction, skipping validation");
}
return (true);
}

That attribute gets set in RequestProcessor.processPopulate():

 // Set the cancellation request attribute if appropriate
if ((request.getParameter(Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY) != null) ||
(request.getParameter(Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY_X) != null)) {
request.setAttribute(Globals.CANCEL_KEY, Boolean.TRUE);
}

RE: Using ArrayList instead of String[] properties

2004-01-13 Thread Robert Taylor
Wendy,

If you simply want to present a list of options to the user represented as
check boxes
and collect the selected options, and the selected options are just single
string values,
then you can do the following:

Define accounts property as an java.lang.String[] and initialize it to {}.



Retrieve you options and store them in an ArrayList named "accountOptions"
and render the options like so:





This should generate HTML like:





The servlet container will collect these values and place them in a single
String array under
the "accounts" name.

Struts will reset your form and them populate the accounts property of your
form with the String array.

Unless I've missed something, I don't see the need to using indexed
properties here if the selected value is single String and order doesn't
matter.

RE: [OT] Properties and Singleton

2004-01-12 Thread Robert Taylor
You could simply store the loaded Properties object in the ServletContext
where the
same instance would be available to the entire web application thus acting
as a singleton
of sorts without necessarily implementing the pattern.

RE: Generic Error Handler

2004-01-12 Thread Robert Taylor
Matthew,

What we do is define this in our web.xml file so that when the container
gets a 500, 404, etc... error status code, I can then assign the appropriate
Struts action to handle it. For example:


500
/c/systemError


404
/c/fileNotFoundError


For application exceptions that occur in an action class, you
could (as you have already mentioned) defined some general
global exceptions handlers and then define more fine grained
exception handlers as necessary (per action).

hth,

robert

RE: dynamic parameters to DynaActionForm

2004-01-08 Thread Robert Taylor
Nathan, could you explain in a little more detail:


Is is a use case where you retrieve a value from somewhere
which tells you how many empty fields to generate and this value
could vary. Then these empty fields are populated with user input
and sent to the server to update the database.

If so, you could do the following:

I would also use org.apache.commons.collections.ListUtils.lazyList()
implementation.
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/collections/api/org/apache/commons/collect
ions/ListUtils.html#lazyList(java.util.List,%20org.apache.commons.collection
s.Factory)


The lazyList implementation will create a new object using the
specified Factory when Struts indexes into a position in the list
which is null.


   



Subclass your DynaActionForm and override the reset()

public final class MyForm extends DynaActionForm {

private static Logger logger = Logger
.getLogger(SearchContractsForm.class.getName());

/**
 * Reset all bean properties to their default state.  This method is
 * called before the properties are repopulated by the controller
servlet.
 * 
 * The default implementation uses the initial value specified in the
 * FormPropertyConfig element for each property.
 *
 * @param mapping The mapping used to select this instance
 * @param request The servlet request we are processing
 */
public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) {

   super.reset(mapping, request);

   List colors = ListUtils.lazyList(new ArrayList(), new
StringFactory());
   this.set("colors", colors);


}

/**
 * StringFactory
 *
 * @see org.apache.commons.ListUtils
 */
class StringFactory implements Factory {

/**
 * Create a new instance of the specified object
 */
public Object create() {

return new String();

}


}

}

Define an action which is invoked prior to displaying the jsp.
In the action populate the "colors" data member with a List of
empty Strings.

In the page do one of the following:

One way to display the values is like so:







Another way would be to leverage the Struts tags:





Either way should render html like:






 ...



Upon submitting the form, Struts will invoke reset() and
populate the "colors" data member with a new lazy list.

When Struts indexes into an empty location, lazy list will
first create a new String at that location and then
Struts will populate that with the value sent from the client.


That should give you a better idea of how to use indexed properties.

hth,

robert

RE: All The Bean Properties Are Null in the Business Tier!!! (Used BeanUtils to Convert DynaValidatorForm)

2004-01-08 Thread Robert Taylor
I don't think ThreadHandler represents a java.lang.Thread handler.
I think it more or less is a business object to facilitate persistance.
I think the use of the word "Thread" here is more representative of a
forum discussion thread.

I could be wrong though.

RE: All The Bean Properties Are Null in the Business Tier!!! (Used BeanUtils to Convert DynaValidatorForm)

2004-01-08 Thread Robert Taylor
The same problem exists, you are calling getters on a ThreadBean instance
which has not yet been populated.


Below three ways to accomplish your goal:

METHOD 1:
Try this (proxy):

public final class ThreadHandler {

MessageDAO md = new MySQLMessageDAO();

public int insertThread(ThreadBean bean)
throws throws MessageDAOSysException, ObjectNotFoundException {

  int identity = 0;

  md.createThread(bean.getReceiver(),
  bean.getSender(),
  bean.getThreadTopic(),
  bean.getThreadBody(),
  bean.getThreadCreationDate(),
  bean.getThreadViewCount(),
  bean.getThreadReplyCount());

  // get identity

  return identity;

}


}

ThreadBean bean = new ThreadBean();
BeanUtils.copyProperties(bean, postForm);
ThreadHandler th = new ThreadHandler()
th.insertThread(bean);

If you do it this way, then it would be better if ThreadHandler was a
singleton,
but that's a different discussion :)




METHOD 2:
Another way to do it (design by composition).

public final class ThreadHandler {

MessageDAO md = new MySQLMessageDAO();
ThreadBean bean;

public ThreadHandler(ThreadBean bean) {

   this.bean = bean;

}
public int insertThread()
throws throws MessageDAOSysException, ObjectNotFoundException {

  int identity = 0;

  md.createThread(bean.getReceiver(),
  bean.getSender(),
  bean.getThreadTopic(),
  bean.getThreadBody(),
  bean.getThreadCreationDate(),
  bean.getThreadViewCount(),
  bean.getThreadReplyCount());

  // get identity

  return identity;

}


}

ThreadBean bean = new ThreadBean();
BeanUtils.copyProperties(bean, postForm);
ThreadHandler th = new ThreadHandler(bean)
th.insertThread();


METHOD 3:
Yet another way via classic inheritance:

public final class ThreadHandler
extends ThreadBean {

MessageDAO md = new MySQLMessageDAO();


public ThreadHandler() {

  super();

}
public int insertThread()
throws throws MessageDAOSysException, ObjectNotFoundException {

  int identity = 0;

  md.createThread(this.getReceiver(),
  this.getSender(),
  this.getThreadTopic(),
  this.getThreadBody(),
  this.getThreadCreationDate(),
  this.getThreadViewCount(),
  this.getThreadReplyCount());

  // get identity

  return identity;

}


}

ThreadHandler th = new ThreadHandler();
BeanUtils.copyProperties(th, postForm);
th.insertThread();

RE: All The Bean Properties Are Null in the Business Tier!!! (Used BeanUtils to Convert DynaValidatorForm)

2004-01-08 Thread Robert Taylor
Your code seems a bit confusing based upon what you want to
achieve.

If indeed you want ThreadHandler to inherit from ThreadBean,
you should be able to do something like this:

DynaActionForm postForm = ( DynaActionForm )form;
ThreadHander = new ThreadHandler();
BeanUtils.copyProperties( threadHandler, postForm );

threadHandler.insertThread();


The reason you are getting null and zero values in ThreadHandler
is that you are populating a new instance of ThreadBean  here:

> > > DynaActionForm postForm = ( DynaActionForm )form;
> > > ThreadBean threadBean = new ThreadBean();
> > > BeanUtils.copyProperties( threadBean, postForm );

... and then you get a new instance of ThreadHandler here:

> > > ThreadHandler thandler = new ThreadHandler();

At this point, ThreadHandler knows nothing of your populated
instance of ThreadBean. Instead it is getting values from
its own "empty" ThreadBean parent here:

> class ThreadHandler extends ThreadBean
> {
>String receiver = getReceiver();
>String sender = getSender();
>String threadTopic = getPostTopic();
>String threadBody = getPostBody();
>Timestamp threadCreationDate =
> getThreadCreationDate();
>int threadViewCount = getThreadViewCount();
>int threadReplyCount = getThreadReplyCount();
>
>.
>.
> }


...unless you do something like the following in
ThreadHandler.insertThread():

public int insertThread(ThreadBean bean) throws SomeException {

  this.receiver = bean.getReceiver();
  this.sender = bean.getSender();
  

  // insert code here



}

which from a design perspective, I'm not sure why you would want to do it
this way.

Sorry, I mean copyProperties().

You can find the differences defined below:

RE: All The Bean Properties Are Null in the Business Tier!!! (Used BeanUtils to Convert DynaValidatorForm)

2004-01-07 Thread Robert Taylor
Have you checked to make sure that the fields you expect
actually exist in the form before calling BeanUtils.populate()?

If so, have you checked to see if the data was copied properly 
just after BeanUtils.populate()?

BeanUtils.populate() uses reflection to copy properties.
Are you usingproper JavaBeans naming convention?

Try and isolate exactly where the data is getting "lost".

I use BeanUtils.populate() all the time with DynaForms and
have no problems. Usually when I do, I find that my data member
names don't correspond.

RE: selecting a value from drop down list

2004-01-05 Thread Robert Taylor
Assuming you are using Struts to process the form submission,
once the user selects a value from the drop down list and submits
the form to be processed, the action which you have configured to
handle this form submission, will have access to the selected value
via the form configured to store the posted request information.
Once inside your action you would do something like the following:

MyForm myForm = (MyForm) form;
String sName = myForm.getSname();
// update database with sName value

[Tiles] Populating Tiles definition attribute at runtime

2003-12-29 Thread Robert Taylor
Greetings, I have a tiles definition in my tiles-defs.xml similar to below:

 


  

which I would like to be able to modify the "heading" value such that
at runtime I could substitute a value for {0}. 

For example, it would be ideal to use a JSTL type of syntax such as:




  

but this does not work.

RE: Design question regarding struts security features

2003-12-29 Thread Robert Taylor
You should be able to do this with standard J2EE security provided
by your web container.

If you store your user credentials in a database, then you may want
to look at SecurityFilter:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/securityfilter/

It allows you to leverage standard J2EE security features but provides
more flexible authentication.

RE: DynaBean with JSTL

2003-12-23 Thread Robert Taylor
As long as the DynaBean implentation exposes a Map interface then yes.
For example, DynaActionForm implements DynaBean and exposes a Map interface,
so if you had a property named "customerName", in a form bean named
"customerDetailForm",
then you could render that property like so using JSTL.

RE: Help needed in form beans

2003-12-18 Thread Robert Taylor
You may want to consider creating a separate object to hold these
values in the session and use your form beans for data input.
This way you can decide when to populate your form beans with
the data that you've captured in the session. 

To control when reset() affects my form properties I subclassed
the action form and subclassed ActionMapping to add an isReset()
setReset(boolean reset) methods so I can declaratively define
when reset is to be used by adding the following line in my struts-config
file:

You are missing this one:

That's because you were missing the JSTL taglib directive
above.

Why are you defining an action path at all.
Once you add the JSTL taglib directive the following
line places the value in the session. There is no
need to submit.

You could use Struts-EL and do something like:


The Struts-EL taglib and jar file can be found in the /contrib directory
of the Struts distribution.

Once again, this is because the JSTL taglib directive is missing.

I bet your missing the JSTL taglib directive in your page.
Try adding

RE: How To Output the Value of a String That Is Passed From Another JSP?

Are you sure that 
is placing the value in the intended scope?

Try doing this:




View/Send Messages


To make sure it is actually putting the value in session scope.

If so, then on postForm.jsp try using scriplets to make sure that
the value can be accessed. If it can, then do you have all of your
tag library directives in your pages?

RE: How To Output the Value of a String That Is Passed From Another JSP?

2003-12-17 Thread Robert Taylor
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? What's the
high level view?

If you can explain your intent, maybe we can suggest an easier
way to accomplish your goal.

Is articleForm associated with action mapping "/list/Message"?
If so, then you could do something like:



View/Send Messages


This of course, assumes you have already populated creator in
articleForm in some other action using the same form.


The action with mapping "/list/Message", which processes articleForm could
do something like:

MyForm articleForm = (MyForm) form;
String creator = articleForm.getCreator();
request.getSession().setAttribute("creator", creator);
return mapping.findForward("success");


In JSP#2 you could do something like this:

Did you include the Struts bean tag-lib directive?
In other words if you view source, do you see

RE: Newbie: java.lang.boolean and DynaActionForm?

2003-12-17 Thread Robert Taylor
To address the "fundemental" question, it is considered a "best practice"
to only use String or Boolean objects or collections of String and/or
Boolean objects or collection of
data structures which contain String and/or Boolean objects in your forms.
This is because it gives you
more control over validation. This doesn't mean that DynaActionForms or
any DynaForm for that matter doesn't support non-string types. It
supports
any Object because essentially the DynaXXXForms internal data structure is a
Map.

In general the Struts form should be a ValueObject passing immutable data
from the input
to be processed or passing immutable data to the output to be rendered.

The great thing about Struts is that it gives you more than enough "rope" to
use wisely or hang yourself :)

RE: How To Output the Value Of a Hidden Field?

2003-12-17 Thread Robert Taylor
There are a couple (3) ways to do it.

1. Have both JSP#1 and 2 use the same form then have the action that
processes JSP#1 simply
forward to JSP#2 and Struts will auto-populate the field.

2. Have the action that processes JSP#1 forward or redirect to
   JSP#2 whose form has the same property name. Place the create property
   value in the query string and Struts will auto-populate the form
   in JSP#2.

3. Have the action that processes JSP#1 access and populate the form used
   in JSP#2 with the property then forward to JSP#2.
