Re: OT: Formatting Negative Numbers

[Ruth, Brice]

I believe a taglib to do this has already been written, check here:

http://www.servletsuite.com/servlets/numtag.htm

Google's your friend :)

Menke, John wrote:

I have asked this question on the TagLib list with no luck.  

Hoping this is not too annoying asking here :)

I have a requirement in my application that states that negative numbers
should be formatted in parenthesis in red without the negative sign.  

Is there any way to do this in JSTL without coding it with  and
???  

If not I'm thinking my best option would be to write my own taglib.
Comments would be appreciated.

Re: ???

[Ruth, Brice]

the "action" attribute has to reflect an action-mapping that is defined 
in your struts config file. the "page" attribute should start with a '/' 
and will output in HTML the correct URL to the resource, based on the 
web-app that you're running - its purpose is to allow module-relative 
naming of your resources.

Check out the Struts-HTML taglib reference here:

http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/dev_html.html

Re: Application objects

[Ruth, Brice]

The Tomcat manager application can show how many active sessions a 
particular application has, so I imagine its possible - probably depends 
on the particular container.

I'm not sure about extending the session class, I imagine so, though I 
wouldn't know where you would indicate that *your* session 
implementation should be used over the default implementation - maybe 
someone else can pick up this one.

Finally, yes - you should be able to store things in "application" scope 
from anywhere in the application (init, Struts Action, separate servlet, 
or JSP). Within a JSP, the jsp:useBean tag with a 'scope' attribute of 
"application" will store the bean created in application scope (which is 
what ServletContext is).

Mathieu Grimault wrote:

Hi all, 
   I would like to display the number of users connected (number of session) to my application. Is there a way to do this ?

   Another question, Can we implements code in the session class (by extending the class) and can we store/access/ modify objects in the ServletContext during the execution of the application (not during initialisation) ?

thx for help. Mathieu.

Re: Submitting a Struts Form from outside of it

[Ruth, Brice]

there's nothing special about a struts form, really - just the plumbing 
in the backend. Anything on the front-end, client-side, should work as 
it would with any other server-side infrastructure. What exactly isn't 
working? If you've created a form with the  tag, that's tied 
to an ActionForm/Action, then your form is named the same as your 
ActionForm, in which case something like:

document..submit();

may do the trick ...

bort wrote:

Hi

How would I go about submitting a struts form from outside of it?  I've
tried using javascript's submit() function, but that doesn't seem to be
supported by the struts form.
Does anyone know how I could do this?

TIA

Re: ForwardAction not picking up Tiles defs?

[Ruth, Brice]

THAT WAS IT!! Having the controller element in there screwed the pooch!!

Somehow, though, this is what's in the "struts-blank.war" that's 
distributed with Struts (verbatim, actually) - it is preconfigured to 
use Tiles, so it uses the TilesRequestProcessor.

[EMAIL PROTECTED](*&[EMAIL PROTECTED](@#$

That was a waste of a day ... nice.

Re: ForwardAction not picking up Tiles defs?

[Ruth, Brice]

This is my first attempt at using tiles defined in tiles-defs.xml, so 
far, all the tiles are being used via tiles:insert in individual JSP 
pages. That seems to be working flawlessly.

Incidentally, I just tried replacing o.a.s.a.ForwardAction with 
o.a.s.tiles.actions.NoOpAction (deprecated) and it doesn't work, either 
- but, it doesn't throw an exception - it just silently fails, pretty 
much. Debug logging is enabled and the following is all I get:

[INFO] RequestProcessor - -Processing a 'GET' for path '/US/tilestest'
[DEBUG] RequestProcessor - - Looking for Action instance for class 
org.apache.struts.tiles.actions.NoOpAction

http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/building_view.html (section 
3.4.3) for incorporating tiles definitions in struts-config.xml, and 
when the ActionServlet receives a request for an action who's parameter 
is a tile definition name (such as .baseLayout), I get the following 
exception:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Path .baseLayout does not start with a 
"/" character

My action is defined like so:

   
And I've defined the plug-in for the Tiles requestor.

 
   
 
My tiles-defs.xml has one simple entry:

   

within the  node.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Re: Store object in "application" scope

[Ruth, Brice]

It ended up being one of those late Friday afternoon typos ... I was 
storing "navXml" in application scope and trying to use "xmlNav" in my 
JSP. Ooops!!

Hey Brice, 

I would agree I don't think it's finding your bean, as a result its trying to instantiate a Document object, and of course being an interface Document doesn't like someone trying to instantiate it. 

If your object is in the app scope, your should just be able to use it. 

You could try doing a logic present tag and test to see if its really there. Otherwise you can always just enumerate through the attribute names/elements in the servlet context and see what's there.

Re: Eclipse + Ant + precompile -> Tomcat

[Ruth, Brice]

Yep, the same setup works in that situation - and the way Tomcat knows 
to use the precompiled JSPs is that special entries for each of the 
servlets generated from jasper (the JSP compiler) are entered into the 
web.xml file (this, of course, can be automated).

David Erickson wrote:

We currently have an ant function that just builds the directory structure
of a deployed webapp then points tomcat at that build directory.. is there
anyway to precompile the jsps in this situation without creating a war?  And
how does tomcat know to goto the precompiled files when a request for the
actual jsp comes in?
thanks,
David

Re: tag question

[Ruth, Brice]

The "name" attribute on the HTML generated by  is 
automatically set to the name of the action that will be receiving the 
form input, if I'm not mistaken. So, in your case, it would be named 
"doit", if I'm not mistaken. This, I believe, is done to support 
validation through javascript.

Re: use html:link pass two param

[Ruth, Brice]

If you have the parameters stored in a java.util.Map object, simply 
specifying the name of that object as the "name" attribute to html:link 
(without any paramId/paramName/paramProperty attributes, will do the 
trick for you.

If your bean list isn't a java.util.Map, you can create one on the fly 
in your JSP like so:




where param1/2 are the names you want the parameters passed as in the 
query string, and value1/2 are the values (which can be populated with 
EL or as the text body of the c:set statement)

After doing this, the "name" attribute to html:link would simply be 
"varName" - which, of course, you can choose to be whatever you want.

Hope this helps!

Can you just use hidden form variables? Check out the Struts-HTML 
 tag - that might get you through this.

Caroline Jen wrote:

In the welcome page, all visitors of the web site can
choose to view any article that is available in the
database.  But, visitors will not be able to delete or
update any of those articles (DELETE, UPDATE, etc.
buttons are not provided).  This part of my struts
application works well.  I have a drop-down list
enclosed in  for visitors to make a
selection and submit it for an action to be taken:


Find articles by: 





maxlength="50"/>

GO

 

Visitor can choose articles by title, author,
category, content, or article ID.  If "author" is
selected from the drop-down list and the name of the
author "Victor Hugo" is supplied, keyName will be set
as creator and keyValue will be set as Victor Hugo for
further processing as shown in my struts-config.xml
below:
   
   path="/menu/Find"
  
type="org.apache.struts.scaffold.ParameterAction"
   name="menuForm"
   validate="false"
   parameter="keyValue">
   
   name="title"
  
path="/do/find/Property?keyName=title&keyValue="/>
   
   name="author"
  
path="/do/find/Property?keyName=creator&keyValue="/>
   
   name="journal_category"
  
path="/do/find/Property?keyName=journal_category&keyValue="/>
   
   name="content"
  
path="/do/find/Property?keyName=content&keyValue="/>
   
   name="article"
   path="/do/article/View?article="/>
   

After a registered visitor successfully logs in, a
user specific page is displayed.  For example, after
the author Victor Hugo who has submitted several of
his articles at the web site logs in, he will see a
page with "Submit Article" and "View Article" (IT IS A
LINK OR A BUTTON.  IT IS NOT A DROP DOWN LIST), etc. 
The author can view his own articles only because
DELETE, UPDATE, etc. buttons will be provided.

I am stuck here.  There is no drop-down list for
Victor Hugo.  How do I supply keyName (which is
"creator") and keyValue (request.getRemoteUser) to the
action below if Victor Hugo clicks on the "View
Article" button?
   
   path="/menu/Find"
   
   parameter="keyValue">
   
   
   name="author"
  
path="/do/find/Property?keyName=creator&keyValue="/>

Re: tiles question

[Ruth, Brice]

There's a method of reducing this duplication in Ted Husted's "Struts in 
Action" book - the method, I believe, is called the "body wrap" method 
and it addresses a particular situation that is common, that allows you 
to eliminate this duplication. Also, you can define and extend tile 
definitions in XML, that also help mitigate and leverage the 
scaleability of Tiles.

I recommend you check out Ted's book or other Struts books that also 
address Tiles.

Re: dynamic drop-down changes without calling action class using session

[Ruth, Brice]

You'll have to do more than store the data for your drop-down in the 
session, if you don't want another request to go to the server - you'll 
have to store all the data for your drop-downs in JavaScript and use 
JavaScript to dynamically populate the drop-downs as selections change.

Re: Struts cannot support relative uri ?

[Ruth, Brice]

Are you using the struts html:img tag?! Otherwise, if you only have  in your JSP, then the HTML that is output won't 
be anything other than  - Struts/Tomcat/or 
any other container/framework passes through any non-JSP tags like HTML 
"as is".

Send the exact HTML that is in your JSP and the exact HTML that is 
output when you load the page in a browser. Include the exact URI that 
you use to load the page, too.

Re: Struts cannot support relative uri ?

[Ruth, Brice]

If relative URIs work or don't work is dependent on the HTML being 
produced, more than anything else, since its the browser that then has 
to request the correct image from the server.

What is the HTML being produced in the cases where you don't see it working?

Hi, all.  I am fajaven from matrix(www.matrix.org.cn)

I wonder it seems like Struts cannot support relative
uri.
In tomcat 5.0 , my webapp looks like:
tomcat/webapps/asales
Two files are:
tomcat/webapps/asales/pages/left.jsp
tomcat/webapps/asales/pages/images/logo.jpg
Normally, in left.jsp, I use logo.jpg, like this:

but if in left.jsp include struts tags, or it mapping
from struts action, then relative uri will fail, and
"absolute" uri is required:

You know, relative uri cannot be used is not
convinient very much.
How can I solve this question? 

Thanks.

Re: question about reset()

[Ruth, Brice]

to my knowledge, reset() is called to clear the form (and perform any 
re-initialization), before calling the setters for the form parameters 
being submitted by the browser.

this way, the action that accesses the actionform will always have the 
values submitted by the browser, no more, no less - instead of possibly 
having "stale" data. the subclassing is done because ActionForm is being 
extended by each of your classes, and ActionForm doesn't have javabean 
methods for all the parameters in your form - your ActionForm class has 
those.

Sonam Belbase wrote:

I'm trying to understand ActionForms a bit better and here is my
question:
If the servlet controller automatically invokes the reset() method
before passing the ActionForm bean to the Action implementation class
instance, how can you use the form's properties' values in your action?
Is this why in the action, you need to downcast the form argument passed
by the controller servlet to your Actionform as such:
String userName = ((LoginForm) form).getUserName();

Re: upgrading Struts 1.1 to jdk 1.4 and weblogic 8.1 -Compilation errors

In this particular code, you'd need to use

Re: Tags creating Tags

I think you'll still end up with a severe performance penalty. If you 
generate JSP dynamically, that JSP will have to be "pre-compiled" each 
time you re-generate it.

I think this link ( an article by Jason Diamon at xml.com) presents an
example of what Craig calls "another layer of compilation"
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/03/27/templatexslt.html
Suppose you define a template language for your own. By that language(a set
of XML elements/attributes name vocabularies), you mark-up the page source
codes with the "super-duper mamma tags" you define. Also you develop a
"MyLang-JSP transformer" by XSLT to produce JSP source codes. You can use
whatever JSP custom tags, including Struts', in the JSP generated by your
preprocessor. In fact I used this method for my application, which proved
good enough.

One way of accomplishing what you want to do, I think, is simply making

Re: Tiles And Images

[Ruth, Brice]

Using the  tag is powerful, though, as it allows you to use 
relative (to page) references for links/images/etc. - if needed, and 
module relative references are still supported by , 
, and of course,  tags. 
That's how our application is structured - this way, when we put things 
in different directories, and each of those directories has its own 
images directory, so we can use the same tile or JSP in each of those 
directories and have them use relative image paths, when necessary 
(specific to the hierarchy they're in), and *also* use module relative 
paths by using the other Struts tags.

Makes code re-use in HTML a lot more attractive :)

Brice

Holman, Cal wrote:

Ruth>> I don't think so.  They were thinking of this option.  The HTML:BASE renders a  tag reference relative to the page request.  So if your template is in the app root then the effect is the same.  I use templates that are actually in different directories so in order to ensure all relative references are to the root I use the scriplet.  Not sure this is a best practice.  But I do not need to worry what jsp I am coding on - all references are relative to the root.  This simplifies the html and if I reorganize the site there are no links/img changes necessary.  It does make IDE rendering harder since they typically do best with relative urls and no base tag.

Re: Tiles And Images

[Ruth, Brice]

On the page that is your "main" page, insert the Struts HTML tag 
 - that should help out somewhat. Also, if that doesn't 
work, try using the Struts  tags with the page="" attribute, 
providing a module-relative path to where your image is stored. That 
should work without a hitch.

Good luck.

Re: Dynamic JSPs and STRUTS

[Ruth, Brice]

JSTL in particular has a lot of tags for wrangling XML, so if you do 
pull out your 100 odd differences into an XML file, you'll need JSTL, 
most likely, to re-construct your JSP. I guess this sorta depends on if 
you understand XML at all ... if you can think of a way of using XML to 
pull out the 100 differences into an XML structure that makes sense, 
then just looking at some online documentation for JSTL should put you 
well on your way to getting this done.

Also, if you use the Struts EL tags, you pretty much are forced to use 
the JSTL tags as well, since certain Struts tags are not present in the 
Struts EL taglibs, since they are *precisely* the same (with EL) as the 
JSTL equivalent. The Struts EL documentation indicates which Struts tags 
are not present as well as what the equivalent JSTL tag is.

Good luck!

You wouldn't even necessarily need to go the route of Struts to

on parameters.

Re: hide section of form

[Ruth, Brice]

Layers may actually not work, as most browsers have a limitation of 
layering over "active" content - "active" meaning Java applets, Flash, 
and forms (much to my surprise). Your best bet is probably to use the 
HTML rewriting capabilities of IE/Mozilla, for IE this is innerHTML, I 
believe - an equivalent exists for Mozilla, though I don't know off the 
top of my head what the DOM name for it is.

Even so, using Dreamweaver will probably help you out a lot with stuff 
like this - there may even be a free (or pay) extension at Macromedia's 
Dreamweaver exchange (http://www.macromedia.com/exchange/dreamweaver) 
that would do it all for you.

I've only ever been interested in the standalone Tomcat code (and, for 
work, the way that Tomcat gets integrated into Sun's web server and 
app server products).  In all of those cases, session identifiers work 
just fine.  So do servlet mappings and all the other features.

ISTR someone on TOMCAT-USER has posted a mod_rewrite rule that can 
deal with the jsessionid passthrough.
I have a mod_rewrite rule working now, but my problem is that the rule 
has to be specified in the VirtualHost definition for a site, and that 
VirtualHost definition is auto-generated by ApacheConfig on the Tomcat 
side, and there's no way to tell ApacheConfig to do this right ... so, 
right now, I have hand-edited the mod_jk.conf file generated by 
ApacheConfig, but I have to re-edit everytime Tomcat restarts (and 
rewrites that file).

Not an ideal situation, by any means :(

On a production server, I can see putting the Apache configuration in 
httpd.conf or some other file, all manually, without using ApacheConfig 
at all, but for dev and staging, that saves me a ton of time ...

sorting and searching in Struts/tiles

[Ruth, Brice]

Hi,

I am wondering how do you do the sorting and searching in struts.
Let say, when a person views a list of collections (for example, the
list consists of 5 people, each person has first name, last name,
age), there is a drop-down menu on the bottom of the table/page says
that:
1) Sort has two options: a) Ascending b) Descending
2) Search has three options a) Last Name b) First Name c) Age
Since data is not stored in database yet.
so in this case how can I do it using Struts?
Thanks for your help.

Re: how to disable (or work around) jsessionid in html:img sources

[Ruth, Brice]

OK, so that looks like it makes sense, but why is Apache barfing on the 
'params', then? I can't imagine that Apache doesn't support the HTTP/1.0 
spec entirely.

Kris Schneider wrote:

The HTTP/1.0 spec defines a URI as:

...
rel_path = [ path ] [ ";" params ] [ "?" query ]
...
The Servlet spec states:

The session id must be encoded as a path parameter in the URL string. The
name of the parameter must be jsessionid.

So, with that having been said, all you have to do is
tell all your users to hit refresh whenever they access
your site.
That way, all external links and images will work.

If you find that unacceptable, you could:

Move the contents of index.jsp to index2.jsp, then:

Put a meta refresh tag as your initial page (index.jsp).
 http://www.yoursite.com/index2.jsp";>
or

Add some javascript that sends the user to index2.jsp.
 (similar to above)
or

Use  or any number of ways in a scriptlet
to redirect to index2.jsp
On the Struts-Atlanta web site (http://www.struts-atlanta.org),
I take a slightly different approach.
At the top of my index.jsp, I do this:






What this does is refresh the page one time only.  This method works


 

for

 

me because I am not posting or processing any forms with this page


 

which

 

would not work correctly if I had.

Hope that helps.





 

Thanks, James.

Ignoring for the moment how these workarounds smack of "hack", this
doesn't solve the problem of people visiting the site w/o cookies
enabled. What I don't understand is why the delimiter ';' is being
  

   

used,

 

instead of the traditional '?' - which Apache wouldn't have a problem

That seems to be a rule in the Servlet specification on URL rewriting
for passing session info.

Re: how to disable (or work around) jsessionid in html:img sources

[Ruth, Brice]

Bizarre ... dunno what's up with my config, then. Not a biggie, I guess 
- my workaround still works, I guess. I just wanted to use this because 
I was using a scriptlet to generate some *very* dynamic code and got 
into a situation where I couldn't use  because it'd be 
nested within an  tag (in an onmouseover attribute) - so I 
wanted to use that code to get the prefix to just insert with another 
scriptlet. But, I think I've worked around that now, too.

It is truly amazing how a JSP can be compiled from custom JSP tags 
(tiles, struts, etc.), java code scriptlets, and EL expressions within 
tags, to something that actually works. I am truly amazed at times! :)

This seems like a good idea, but I think it would prevent the country

within the Tomcat/Servlet interaction, w/o issuing a redirect to the 
browser?! Can chain.doFilter() send the request to an action other 
than what was initially invoked by the browser?
 

Yes, the filter catches the request before it is passed to the servlet 
so you can do pretty much anything you like including sending the 
request to a different action.  But the redirect is usually server 
side, so the browser would see the original URL.

So the problem comes back to getting the links to include the country 
code.

Here are 2 ways...

1. (probably involves the most work)  Create some new JSP tags using 
the Struts tags a base.  You need to do almost the same thing but 
insert that country code at the start of the link.  Then you can use 
some text, 
which would create a link with url '/US/crafts/crafts.do'

2.  (this might work staight off, and doesn't look too bad) Using JSTL 
and the Struts-EL tags...
some 
text

Though i think struts puts the locale into the session under the name 
|'org.apache.struts.action.LOCALE', so you might| need to put a copy 
(in your filter)
into session under a shorter name - or even just the country code that 
you are using.  Eg put into session as 'urlprefix' and 

The only thing you are losing here is you are not linking to the 
action name ('crafts/crafts'), you have to link to the url name 
'crafts/crafts.do'.  So if you changed the servlet mapping from '*.do' 
to '/do' you would have to change the links.
#2 is what I have currently implemented. Though the way that some other 
aspects are going, I may end up creating my own extension of the Struts 
HTML tag set for other reasons, at which point, I'll probably go ahead 
an implement #1.

Thanks for the excellent feedback!!

Re: Help with URL localization (continued)

[Ruth, Brice]

This seems like a good idea, but I think it would prevent the country 
code from always being available in the URL (so if you're in the US 
site, you should always see /US/index.do, etc.) unless I can do this 
within the Tomcat/Servlet interaction, w/o issuing a redirect to the 
browser?! Can chain.doFilter() send the request to an action other than 
what was initially invoked by the browser?

Here is a thought...

Set up your action mappings in struts-config.xml without the domain 
prefix eg
   /index.do
   /crafts/crafts.do

Then in your filter you can check for the locale prefix and set the 
locale.  In the same filter, construct a new path by removing the 
locale prefix and forward to the remainder of the path

eg request is /de/index.do --> redirect to /index.do

Struts will then match this and forward to the correct action.
If the request doesn't contain a matching locale then just let the 
request pass through.  eg /crafts/crafts.do would be let through 
unchanged as the 'crafts. does not match a locale.  As the first 
request should set the locale, you may not need to include it in any 
subsequent requests so .jsps can link to /index.do instead of 
/de/index.do

eg
request #1:  /de/index.do  (filter sets locale to de)
request #2: /crafts/crafts.do (uses locale already set to de)
Hmm, you could even change the filter mapping so it is only invoked 
for the locales that you are covering eg
/de/*
/fr/*

Then you won't have to do let through any unmatched locales eg 
/crafts/crafts.do would not be checked by the filter, but 
/fr/crafts/crafts.do is caught, locale set and redirected to 
/crafts/crafts.do

how to disable (or work around) jsessionid in html:img sources

[Ruth, Brice]

Hi. I'm using html:img in certain tiles that are used from very 
different places in my application with the "page" attribute to take 
advantage of module-relative naming for the image sources. However, when 
cookies aren't enabled, or on the first visit to the web application 
(with no session cookie having been previously detected), the 
';jsessionid=X' gets added to the end of the image. Now, I'm not driving 
any dynamic images, nor do I intend to, so this sessionid is worthless 
to me. Furthermore - since I'm using Apache+Tomcat+mod_jk to serve this 
application, Apache seems to choke on serving up this image. I expect 
its because the sessionid is delimited by ';' instead of '?' as I'm used 
to, but maybe not.

Either way - does anyone know of a way to get around this? If possible, 
I'd prefer not having to do anything special in the Apache conf, mainly 
because I'm using the auto-generated mod_jk conf file for this 
configuration.

Thanks!

Re: html:rewrite doesn't rewrite "action" contrary to docs?

[Ruth, Brice]

Its actually not quite that difficult to understand - the drop down form 
element was selected by the design agency as a means of navigating 
between the localizations of the site. So, the actual select doesn't 
submit a form (so no code to be executed on the server end) - it simply 
calls a bit of javascript code that takes the URL contained in the value 
attribute of the  and directs the browser to load that URL.

Not very sophisticated, not very difficult - its really merely a design 
element. But, it necessitates the need for the URL that is in the value 
attribute of the  tag be correct, based on the rewriting rules 
that Struts applies. It just surprised me that this isn't in 1.1 - seems 
like that would be a no-brainer, but maybe there's more to it than just 
what I see :)

No biggie - my workaround is fine for now.

James Mitchell wrote:

Hmmm...that's a tough one.	

Perhaps you should reevaluate your Use Case.  

Q.Why are you submitting to a different URL depending on the selection 
 of a drop down?  

Q.Why don't you just perform a different piece of code depending on what

 they picked?

You would access /us/index.do, where *.do is the servlet mapping 
to struts in the web.xml, and /us/index is the struts action 
mapping to index.jsp. The real path of the index.jsp is hidden 
from public view by struts.

I doesn't have to be *.do - you can set up web.xml to map any 
pattern to struts - for instance /us/index.schmindex would be 
*.schmindex

Filters are not struts - they're in the J2EE servlet spec. You set 
them up in web.xml as well. They're a lead pipe cinch. They act on 
a mapping which the request must match for them to take effect, 
but most of the time in this sort of situation, the mapping is 
just /* for everything.

Tomcat processes the filters on the request before passing it to 
struts.

OK, so I understand hiding the .jsp from the world with Struts, 
that's cool by me - I can handle that. So in that context, the 
virtual paths makes sense. As for the filters, would I set up a

locale to the session before the request is passed on to Struts? Is 
that the use of filters in this situation?

it seems to me that the best use of the filter would be just to have 
one which sees all the traffic, and then it can extract the locale 
code from the request URL, check that it's one you deal with :) and 
then saves the info to the user's session.

Adam

Cool, that's actually the route I'm taking now - just to test it out. 
Thanks a ton! :) I think between the various approaches, I have a

Re: Localization with Struts/Tiles and URLs

[Ruth, Brice]

Our product content is going to be localized to the countries that the 
products are available in, and for that, we've built a database that 
holds this "content" and an interface to manage it - when adding a new 
translation, the user selects what language they're entering the 
translation for, and this is stored in the database - the keys used in 
the database to define the language are the same two by two codes used 
for locales (so en_US, fr_FR, etc.) so when pulling product data from 
the database into a JavaBean for the product (pseudo object-relational), 
the Bean has a collection of all the languages that this product is 
available in - this then can be rendered appropriately on the page in 
the user's locale.

Craig,

Thanks - I'll pass this on to our marketing folks. One note, though - 
our site will not only be localized for language, but will also be 
sensitive to the actual products our company offers in those markets. 
So, if we market products in Belgium and France, and they aren't the 
same, then we'll have two flags - one for Belgium, one for France - 
though that obviously creates a problem with countries that have more 
than one language, like Belgium and Switzerland, for instance.

OK, I have to admit I'm a bit confused now :). I would like to be 
able to use a virtual directory structure, where /us/, /de/, /fr/, 
etc. just trigger something in Struts to set the locale 
appropriately, so that when /index.jsp is accessed under a particular 
virtual directory, its localized properly. Is this possible? As for 
character encoding, I hadn't really given it much thought and I'm not 
too familiar with filters, either ... is that a Struts feature or a 
JSP/Tomcat feature?

Thanks!

You would access /us/index.do, where *.do is the servlet mapping to 
struts in the web.xml, and /us/index is the struts action mapping to 
index.jsp. The real path of the index.jsp is hidden from public view 
by struts.

I doesn't have to be *.do - you can set up web.xml to map any pattern 
to struts - for instance /us/index.schmindex would be *.schmindex

Filters are not struts - they're in the J2EE servlet spec. You set 
them up in web.xml as well. They're a lead pipe cinch. They act on a 
mapping which the request must match for them to take effect, but most 
of the time in this sort of situation, the mapping is just /* for 
everything.

Tomcat processes the filters on the request before passing it to struts.

Adam

OK, so I understand hiding the .jsp from the world with Struts, that's 
cool by me - I can handle that. So in that context, the virtual paths 
makes sense. As for the filters, would I set up a filter for say /us, 
/de, /fr - and then have Tomcat add the correct locale to the session 
before the request is passed on to Struts? Is that the use of filters in 
this situation?

This is semi-offtopic, but might be of interest.

When I worked on a large scale multi-lingual app in Europe a few years 
ago, my intent was to do exactly this (but with a tweak -- the landing

setting).  However, I was informed by more than a few Europeans that

dynamic files that are only localized to a particular language.

of deep-links - if someone links to http://domain/us/index.jsp - then 
somehow, the locale needs to be initted to 'en_US', right? - without 
relying on there being a cookie present from a previous visit, of

Hi Brice,
first thing you've got to decide is whether you are going to select 
that locale based on their browser settings, or whether you are going 
to show them the default locale first and let them click on their 
chosen flag.

You also don't say if you have all your localized text in resources 
files, or whether you also have large amounts of text in static files, 
one language per file.

I tried to remember whether you can use wild cards in your action 
mapping paths in struts-config.xml, but I can't get my brain in gear 
right now.

So if you can, map your actions like so "/*/*/whatever.do" but if not, 
then you might have to repeat the whole mapping for each locale.

Fortunately the servlet mapping to the struts action servlet 
definitely takes wildcard characters, so *.do will match all your 
locale URLs.

Have fun,
Adam

Thanks for the response on this - the best way of going about this 
hasn't quite crystallized yet, but I think I'm getting close.

Thanks again.

Re: org.apache.action.struts.*

And even more convenient is the way that you can use Eclipse to show all 
the packages/classes/etc. when you add a library to a project. ;)

Another tip: Sometimes I use WinZip to look at jar files, which will
show you all the classes and paths of those classes that are wrapped up
in a jar file.  Also, you can do the Windoze "search for files
containing text..." in a specific directory, which will also point out
which jar file may be containing a specific package or class name.

Localization with Struts/Tiles and URLs

Greetings, all.

I'm looking for some guidance on how best to go about a requirement I
