1. This fals in :  I do not have time to do it, but maybe you do.

2. Also this has nothing to do with struts, struts is MVC, so you do not 
do things in JSP or view.

3. The answer is: You need to grab a hold you your application context, 
and get the real path.

I'm playing with the VERY interesting site dedicated on Tiles (http://www.lifl.fr/~dumoulin/tiles/) and I have a little question.

Suppose I've created a Tile to view jsp contents, what happen if I compile a form and I press Submit?

Only the Tile's space is refreshed or the entire screen?

Yes.



Can I use a Tile like a portlet?

Re: moving from ASP to jsp/Struts redirecting visitors into new site

A shot in the dark:
In your container server xml file set root  to you /pages
This removes the need for pages.
In you struts.xml map *.asp to Action (as opposed to *.do). Of course, 
every page needs a action mapping that and a forward to a real jsp.

Hi

redirects from one to the other and what I would like to be able to do 
is come up with the best method of redirecting people who go to my *.asp

the new server doesn't have asp so I can't just stick in some asp pages 
to do redirects there. I had the idea that I should be able to redirect 
them in some manner using a forward, anything coming in that is *.asp 
forward to something but ideally I'd like to put people at the content 
they would have found at the old location as I get a lot of traffic from 
people who linked to pages deep within the site.

Apologies if this is very basic, I'm converting myself to jsp/struts as

Re: Flash+Struts how?

Nothing wrong with Flash as View, in fact Flash is a good practice IMO 
(when used w/o Remoting or runtime costs).

Javascript/DHTML is just OK. We try to remove navigation and vlidation 
(menu and validator) but still its a mess in a JSP.

Applets are a bad practice, in my experience.

JSF is not here.
XForms has a lot of promise.
As does this Axis to Flash thing on dev list.

But people, lets watch the signal to noise ratio. Already people ask 
questions on dev. list that should be here (and there was a thread to 
start another mail list).
There is a lot of Friday, OT, Beer, etc., an no need to add just pure noise.

Nice attitude. I hope I misunderstood that reply...

Anyway, to answer the original inquiry:
A part of the UI of our app is a flash movie, and we chose to
integrate 
it using XML. The Flash sends requests to our struts actions (they
look 
like any other URL to Flash), but these particular actions return XML

instead of HTML. The Flash parses the XML and applies it to the UI 
appropriately. Works quite well and with no noticeable CPU usage on
the 
client - a problem we had with the previous, complicated HTML
interface 
for this part of the app.
There is also a relatively new feature of Flash MX that provides 
integration between Flash and J2EE apps without using XML in between.

Although I haven't looked at it in detail, I bet it can be used with 
Struts as well as ordinary servlets. See 
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-01-2003/jw-0117-flash_p.html

Re: Struts productivity metrics?

I agree with Joe
One such metric is a pro can do a few CRUD modules per day and a newbie

Also... it sounds self serving but. consider hiring a mentor,
someone who put Struts in production before, it is cost effective. They
can kick start you and reduce risk. Some experienced people on this list.

Can that be quantified by testing metrics like # of issues
reported/module
and avg. # hours required to resolve an issue?

Can't help chiming in here: You're not likely to find any metrics like these, and if you do, you should only use them the way most statistics are--to blindside people into agreeing with your premises. If you think about it briefly, you'll realize that metrics like these will never be that accurate, and even if the metrics themselves were precise, they could never accurately represent quantitative differences between development methodologies or frameworks. The reason is simple: No company ever builds the same thing twice and every project is very different. This makes quantitative apples-to-apples comparisons of frameworks/practices practically impossible in the business world. Perhaps an academic experiment with two teams implementing the exact same spec. with different frameworks would yield some useful information, but any quantitative comparisons you receive from the business world are spurious at best.

You're much better off relying on first-hand qualitative comparisons, e.g. We were using X for web development and now that we've switched to Struts, I don't have to don my fire hat on a daily basis to douse that conflagaration we called a web app.

Anecdotal comments are appreciated, but I'm mostly interested in hard
metrics (X hrs w/ struts vs. Y hrs w/ 'the old way') if
possible. Also - if
there are any books/sites which address these questions,
please send them my
way.

If you're modifying them, you definitely should -- there are

I'd be curious what the non-trivial cases of this would be.  You can

it being possible for multiple Struts Actions to be running at once on

a give page might be calling several servlets at once, but isn't that
the benefit of MVC, that all the stuff that would be likely to need to
be synchronized happens in a single method (the Action), and the page
merely displays results?

Re: Need input about user authentication with user self registration strategies

John Cavacas wrote:

Hello everyone,

I'm currently in the planning/proof of concept stages for my second Struts
based web app. My first Struts app was pretty small and simple, so I'm still
new at this.

I spent most of last night looking through the mailing list archives and
searching on the web to find out about the best strategies regarding user
authentication in regards to Struts and J2EE (Servlets/JSPs) are concerned.
I think I have a pretty good understanding of all of the alternatives out
there. From CMA to Filters, to checking for a user session in a BaseAction
class, and some other alternatives. My problem is that I'm not sure what is
the best way to deal with a specific requirement that I have in my
application. First the requirement. My application is a simple news/article
posting web app. I need to be able to let a user (based on permissions) to
edit, delete or archive, an article from the main page, or the article view
without going into the admin area. Picture a news item with buttons for
edit, delete, or archive and possibly other administrative functions in the
future. This would use the same JSP as other users would view, but of course
these other users would not be able to see the admin functions. The
application has its own user database table, and also a roles table from
which the permissions are based. These are Admin, editor, contributor,
registered.

My preferred method to do this would be to use CMA with form based
authentication, since I could use it even at the action level. I could use
the Servlet API to detect user roles. However, I also have the requirement
that users can self register and maintain a profile. Tomcat's JDBCRealms
looks interesting, but how standard is that feature in other containers? It
also looks like the database tables required for JDBCRealms have to have a
certain layout which my current database layout doesn't match. 

Create a view that does.

I would also

like to keep the application as portable as possible across containers.



It has to be, with any J2EE based container, which I think is all of them.


Using a Servlet filter also seems interesting, but it leaves the problem of
having to decide at the JSP level how to show the admin actions. The same
issue is true with using a BaseAction approach. 

Not standard. Look at action - mapping, which uses CMA.
Like you said, just do is_user_in role in action, KISS and then extend.
hth,
.V



I would really like to avoid a messy set of if/elses in the JSP to have this
done. I've even thought that maybe I should create a custom tag for this.
But I figured I would shoot these questions out to the list before I decided
to go down that path. Sticking a user object into a session object is the
usual way which I have solved this problem in the past using things like PHP
and ASP (ack!) and of course the same thing could be done here too. But I
would really like to use a better approach for this application and remove
any application logic out of the View. 

Any suggestions or ideas that I should consider?

Thanks for reading, I know it's long.

John

We are having trouble solving the same problem of updating the fields for a
DynaActionForm's indexed properties.  We are running on Struts 1.1 beta2.
Should we be using the latest beta3 to get this to work? 
Our configuration basically follows that of James' below.
We defined a Bean named EditFormIndexPropertyBean, which will be the
elements of the DynaActionForm's array property
The form-bean is configured as:
form-bean  name=categoryIndicesEditForm
type=org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm
   	form-property name=categoryIndex
type=com.cgc.approve.struts.beans.EditFormIndexPropertyBean[]
   	 size=10/ 
/form-bean

The form's iteration in the JSP look like:
logic:iterate id=categoryIndex name=categoryIndicesEditForm
property=categoryIndex
type=com.cgc.approve.struts.beans.EditFormIndexPropertyBean
indexId=index
   logic:notEmpty name=categoryIndex property=name

td   			 
 html:text name=categoryIndex property=name indexed=true/
/td
   /logic:notEmpty
/logic:iterate

Unlike James' example, we had to name the form-property 'name' attribute
the same as the logic:iterate 'property' attribute, in this case
categoryIndex.  Otherwise the PropertyUtils could not find the DynaForm's
property by that name.

Here's what appears to be the problem:  The DynaForm's array property
'categoryIndex' is not being populated with the elements of our
EditFormIndexPropertyBean. The array property is instantiated with the
correct name, however it is empty. The DynaActionForm then attempts to set
the property with name=categoryIndex at index 0 with some value:

DynaActionForm.set(String name, int index, Object value) {

DynaProperty descriptor = getDynaProperty(name);
Object prop = dynaValues.get(name);
}

This causes a null pointer exception as there are no dynaValues to retrieve
(no EditFormIndexPropertyBeans in the array property) .

We have used successfully indexed properties for DynaActionForms such as
String[] and Integer[] and other primitive type wrapper classes.  How can we
get our DynaActionForm to work use a property that consists of an array of
user defined classes?

A side question for any who might know.  When using a String[] property it
is not necessary to set the size attribute.  Is this needed for user defined
classes?

Thanks for any help,

   public void setMath (String grade) { this.math = grade; }
}

In your struts-config.xml, define:

form-bean  name=studentGradeForm
type=org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm
   form-property name=grades type=example.StudentGrades[]
size=50
/form-bean

Then, presuming that your Action populates the StudentGrades array with
the student names, in your JSP, you'd say:

html:form action=/some/action
TABLETRTDName/TDTDBiology/TDTDChemistry/TDTDPhysics/T
DTDEnglish/TDTDMath/TD/TR

Promoting Struts is often difficult since it is open source and there is

Never mind that there are 5 (6?) books on struts alone, it has one of

Folks,
 
Was experimenting with patterns to componentize presentations.
Found Tiles absolutely well suited with its concept of Controller per
tile.
 
But I realize that populating the tile maynot be the only thing that I
want to, one may want to do more things which are generic in nature
rather than being Tile specific. For example, a common requirement is to
display or hide, on the basis of the context of the request (and that
may be more than just principal and role). There may be many such
requirements which I may want to dynamically want to plug on in a
generic manner to a selection of my tiles.
 
An ideal way probably would have been to have the ability to define a
set of controllers in a particular sequence for a Tile along with the
Tile definitions, but since there is an option for only one, I probably
need to work my way around.
 
So here's a thought broken down into a number of points:

*	Let me define a single generic Controller 

*	Along with it define my own configuration schema where in I can
define a mapping of my presentation components to the set (and sequence
of the controllers that should be executed before the presentation is
made). Of course I can cache it and take care of dynamic changes to this
cache at runtime etc (if I need to) 

I assume your controler would decide what deefinition to forward. 
Also... each tile would have a controller.


*	Now let me define a generic Security Controller for my site
which encapsulates the understanding of the implementation of security
policies on my site. 

I assume you will use standard servelt 2.2 based declerative security 
for starters and build on it. Web.xml and Struts config support this.
Ex: if usersinrole().
Read up n jdbc relms (and struts.config in StrutsInAction bu Husted)


*	Along with this generic Security Controller now I define a
schema where I can define a mapping of my presentation components to the
associated security rules. Of course I can cache it as well along with
taking care of dynamic changes to this cache at runtime etc (if I need
to) 

*	Now when every Component is to be displayed my generic
Controller (not the generic security controller) is invoked which looks
at the sequence of controllers to be executed and coordinates the
display, and if my generic security controller is also to sequenced then
it is just brought into picture by the generic controller and it
utilizes the ComponentContext and the security mappings configurations
to execute what ever security rules its wants to.

Security is handled by cotainer/framework. But lets assume you did a 
base action and now you write concreate actions.
IT IS A BAD PARCTICE NOT TO USE STANDARD SERVLET 2.2 DECLERATIVE 
SECURITY. Start with it and build on top of it.
That is my .02 cents.
.V


Just wanted to have your opinions on the model, and if there are
alternative models that have been tried for similar scenarios (I believe
the scenario is a very common scenario).
 
Of course I know it for a fact that Action PlugIn extension by ASQdotCOM
can also be be utilized for such a need

Re: How closely to map VOs/ActionForms to relational DB?

-That sounds like a very good class Craig. I can't wait to use it, 
sounds similar to disconnected row set, when used with commons-sql for 
persistence (at least that is how I will use it).

-David, with respect, view do not ease join problems but hide it. Also, 
sometimes you can use selection/options collection on browser and cache 
and not join on server.

- Tevor, what I do as far as objects is I have formbeans that *MUST* 
match my view/jsp/requirment of course. That is #1.
#2. Then I look to see if its a submit/updetable. Most of the time its not.
So if no submit, no form bean in struts-config.
That means I would write long join and have one or several beans defined 
in request. Joins (but try to speed up with options/collection*) and 
multiple beans defined in scope.
#3. If it is updetable/submit, I define a formbean in Struts config.
(You can only have one) and nest. Your back end now has to map close to db.

So a short answer to Tevors question, imo, how closely should the back 
beans match the jsp?  is match db on updetable formBeans, and  match 
the jsp when no update with joins/mutiple beans.

If you don't need your VOs to actually be JavaBeans, you might want to
look at a recent addition to commons-beanutils (included in the 1.6
version that was just released, so it'll be included in Struts 1.1 final)
called RowSetDynaClass.

What this does is copies the data from an SQL query (either a ResultSet or
a RowSet) into a List of DynaBeans that can then be manipulated via
BeanUtils and PropertyUtils methods.  This way, you don't care how many
different combinations of column names all your different queries might
require - you are essentially creating a VO dynamically on the fly with
just the right set of properties.

Is extending ActionServlet a good way to do this? The process() method
can check for the existence of user's data in session to know if he is
logged in. But I see a problem. My login page itself is submitted to
login.do, so the login request goes through my ActionServlet subclass,
which means that he will never be able to login?? Or am I missing

Any other approach, please let me know.

Re: Value of Struts?

Democracy is the worst kind of government there is, except for 
everything else out there.
I think W. Churchill.

Think of Struts as kindergarten: We put our coasts here, we put our 
books here, etc.
It also has best productivity if you do it right. 2 ti 3 CRUD M/D muli 
row modules per day is easy.
Decorative validation, declarative action mapping security, declarative 
layouts w/tiles, easy for IDE to generate beans getters/setters, it can 
use standard tag lib.
You can go from portyotpe in html to ren *.html *.jsp, add actions and 
pick a nice light persistance layer and you are so done.

But:
Struts does not make your project successful, that would be requirements.
It does not enforce an iterative development process, etc.
You can have a good tool and point it in your head and pull the trigger.
Ex: is OO, java is OO capable, but you can be object disoriented and 
code very slow.

ActionForms get you server side form validation and

The taglibs get you reduced scriplet code and hooks to

Actions get you a clean place to write controller code

Is that all Struts does?  Or are there features I'm

The problem is that Ed Hill doesn't seem to be working on it anymore -
and there hasn't been a release since May 2002! Since I do have the

Re: AW: easy struts

Thanks for writing it up.

I would say an alternative is to set up your project in 
webapps\myProject, and run the Container outside of IDE (as you would in 
production).
This makes it easy to configure Container ( Tomcat or Resin, or Orion, 
etc.) to save the session while you change the class live

A good practice to be able to change the class and not have to restart 
Container, and not have to reacquire the session; while in dev. mode.
Ex: If you change your Action Java code, and you are logged in to you 
webapp, you do not want to navigate back to the same point (save 
session) or restart container.
Also, sometimes one uses more than one IDE at a time, ex: Eclipse and 
when it gets rought, Vi.

It can, but it is the same issue as the indexed

isn't currently anything where you can specify
'name[x]' and have it match any index (name[0],
name[1], etc.).  Which is what you would probably want
to do.

Re: DAO and Struts Best Practice

2003-01-17 Thread V. Cekvenich

I TOO am too dense to communicate it clearly sometimes:
But this is clear:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/basicportal/ROOT/src/basicWebLib/org/commons/DAO

Take a look at the DAO interface;  and then a DAO implementation above.
(OT: The 2nd DAO implementation there will be using Commons SQL but not 
ready yet)

Static for me is the getting a hold of the connection pool so that gets 
done once, has nothing to do with getters/setters.
The parms are passed once.
Even a DAO.update() does not have parms, once can just do reflection and 
getmetadata, etc. genericaly.

But each bean (bean has getters/setters) has its own instance of DAO helper.

My struts app access my resource layer via a DAO pattern. I have been using
DAO for a while and have seen various manners in which this is implemented.
I have some questions for all of you out there in regards to the DAO pattern
that you use and why. Following are some comparison points between a few
patterns. What in your opinion are the pluses and minuses

Below I describe a few DAO patterns. If you have others feel free to append
them:

Static Method DAO Pattern:
- class is not instantiated
- class use static methods
- class contains multiple methods
- each method contains it's own connection instantiation and destruction
- parameters needed to perform each method's operation's are passed into the
method

Instantiated DAO with Method parameters: (* This is the pattern I use)
- class is instantiated
- class methods are NOT static
- class contains multiple methods
- connection is a setter/getter and is shared among all methods during the
life of the instantiated class object
- parameters needed to perform each method's operations are passed into the
method (no setters/getters)

Instantiated DAO Bean Pattern:
- class is instantiated
- class methods are NOT static
- class contains multiple methods
- connection is a setter/getter and is shared among all methods during the
life of the instantiated class object
- parameters needed to perform each method's operations are held on the
class level as members of the class. They are altered with setters/getters.
Each method receives no parameters.

The one method DAO:
This pattern can be applied to all of the above. Essentially every class
contains only one method that accomplishes a specific function.

I use the second pattern simply because during development I can see what
parameters my method needs to perform it's funtion and make sure they are
passed in. If I try to compile without providing the proper parameters the
compile fails and I know my error before I start testing the class. It's
simply a development things... easier javadoc and code completion as well.
But, there have been times when I questioned the amount of parameters being
passed into the method, but, rarely. My pattern does not easily lend itself
to using tools like BeanUtils to perform property copying from one bean to
another.

So, what are your thoughts.

I have been thinking about it this off and on for a while. It seems to me
that SOAP (or xml-rpc or ...) would be another access point into the
business logic of the application that is a peer to the access point
provided by a Struts-based layer. The Struts-based components provide the
mechanism to deliver content to web browsers, the SOAP interface enables
content delivery from the business logic layer to other types of clients on
the network. I do not see the need to extend the ActionServlet to provide
this type of access.

  Please respond

  to Struts Users

  Mailing List







Struts Users,



I would like to propose that Struts be extended to support another entry
point.  The ActionServlet would be augmented by an Axis/SOAP Web
Services Interface to Struts.  FormBeans would be part of the payload
for requests.  Responses would be generated by Forwards for SOAP.  This
new Axis entry point would do the same work as ActionServlet with the
only significant difference being the construction of the FormBean.
Incoming SOAP Requests would be configured to call the same
RequestHandlers and as far as the actions go they won't know that the
source was an HTML Form or a serialized FormBean.



I feel this will give a great deal of flexibility to Applications where
they want a Web Browser User Interface as well as Web Services for the
same Application Data Model and Business Logic.



I am planning on doing this anyway, and felt it applicable to this group
and would offer to share it as a sub project and would welcome
contributions of thought, expertise and code.

Re: Struts Validator and security roles

Another aproach:

Call a setter for the role (1)
(ex: formBean.setRole(req.getUserPrinicipal) in onSave in action.

Now your can call formBean.validate() in your action.

And... your formBean class must implement a validate method to do all 
your logic.

This way you can use the same formbean validation in model1, or anywhere 
where you need the bean.

Or a variant of yours is to just do (1) and then do your role 
thingy. That code could be usefull to others.

role: `reviewer'

  check also the fields  `firstName', `lastName' are not null

My first thought would be to subclass the `FieldChecks' class

do I get the role into the action form bean.

Sandra, 

Have you looked at using HierMenu's?  It's a JS menu with a LOT of
functionality in it.  There is also an article on adapting it to work with
Struts, but I had already adapted the Heir Menu's to dynamically create a
menu based on the user's previous chosen preferences, which are stored in
the database.  When I first started using the JS files for HeirMenu, the
code was free, but I believe the site now charges a nominal fee for the
code.  More info on HeirMenu's can be found at:

http://www.webreference.com/dhtml/

an the article on how to modify it to work with Struts can be found at:

http://www.webreference.com/programming/java/jspmenus/

Again, I didn't do exactly what the article presented, as I had already
modified HierMenu's to work dynamically in JSP's 2 years ago.  

Hope this info helps.

	I have many difficulties of presenting the menu which I wish in my

able to solve them. This example uses the tags Tiles and 	Javascript

	This is why I launch a new call. The problem is as follows we wish
to place a menu in the 	Web 	pages of our application. The menu should
not be posted in a band on the left of all pages but in 	the header
(horizontal position). 
	Example of JSP page:

	Logo	Home	Admin	Titel1 	Title2 	Help

	The main items can have sub-items

	- Tile1	
		- sub-item1

	- Title2

	- Help

	The requirements are the following,

	- spaces between each command (home, admin, etc...) must be regular.

	If somebody has an example who function I am really very interested.

Re: Struts Productivity Survey

2003-01-10 Thread V. Cekvenich

In this case, does the consultant/architect:
a. have previous deployed Struts applications,
b. or does the consultant know of Struts?

In case a. one should have an idea of how long it takes to train and 
develop. One opinion for time frame range is newbie developers take 
about a few days per MVC, and experienced programers do a few MVCs per 
day (of an average complexity MVC - bean, dao, view, action. 
JasperReports take about the same. Assuming you have decent 
requirements, use an iterative process and have a good DBA). Also, 50 
developers for 100 screens?

In case of choice b. ... lets see nothing comes to mind.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Ok, so let me pose it a different way.  Put yourself in this position:

You're a consultant or an architect who has been tasked with building a Struts application with 100 screens.  You're actually migrating an application which was originally written as a fat client app in VB and the server was written in C++.

You have about 50 developers who know VB and C++ pretty well.  Some of them know Java/JSP/Servlets very well.  Some of them know it very little.  None of them know Struts.

Your job is to estimate the cost of getting these folks up to speed on Struts.  You already have the application design.  THere's going to be a thin business layer called by the Action classes that will use EJB session beans to provide application functionality.  Fairly simple.  You have to train these people to use Struts, create actions and pages, and write the web-tier business layer.  Somebody else is doing the EJB stuff.

How do you estimate that cost?
How long do you think it will take for these various developers to write their first business function?
How long to do the next one, etc?

to the books and better documentation available.


I agree 100%. I looked at Struts for the first time in April 
2001 mainly
for the forms stuff, really wanting to use it. I've read the UserGuide
and said What is he talking about!? Half a year later, with a real
project at hand it went much faster, using the /example stuff. Back
then there were no DynaForms, no Tiles, no Nested, all the stuff that
makes things much easier now. The pages that are now the Taglib API
Reference were the best resources back then.

Greets,
Andreas.

#1.We are looking for more people to develop  basicPortal.sf.net 
(baseBeans.com is on basicPortal). Now we are working on setup.exe 
(currently in beta but available) that will install DB, Tomcat (because 
people do not know how to set up JDBC realms in server.xml). As you know 
bP demos master detail processing, XML, RSS, CMS, task tracking, contact 
management, JDBC realms, BLOBs, CRUD,  JMeter, JaserReports, etc. Just 
e-mail me if you know Struts and want to contribute to open source.

#2. Bring a laptop to public training in DC/NYC training to get *FREE* 
autographed Struts in Action. Prices goes up tmrw by 9:30 AM Eastern.
This is not intro to Struts, you must know some MVC (and JAVA and SQL 
well), I do not like teaching intro.

Re: Problem with Weblogic 6.1 sp2 and Struts 1.1 Beta 3

Or just try Tomcat (or Resin).

In general, if one has bugs in BEA or IBM, a good idea is to test the 
reference implementation (Tomcat) to see if you can reproduce, which 
will tell you if it is a container bug.
Tomcat has a lot more market share (and therefore more users) and one of 
the main benefits of open source is better quality.
(the other is that if you run a larger site, say 10,000 or 40, 
concurrent, open source model revenue model is better because of the 
license).
Also, open *support* is much, much better, as you can see. Try asking a 
question of commercial support.
.V

ps: A good open source DB is PostgreSQL (Full ANSI SQL)
(Using MS SQL or Oracle for a large site kills you on the on going 
license if a market downturn. This lets you spend more resources on 
requirements and programer$.) PostgreSQL (and Tomcat and Eclipse) is 
FREE no mater how many DB servers you have in production, so it makes 
your application more cometetive. M$ SQL is a toy. (So is IBM and BEA, I 
realy hate the sales guy who dirves up in his BMW)
Save a buck or two.

Re: XSLT Struts

XML in files, and not in DB is fine for small site, or if you do not 
have a lot of consent turn over.

But it is much easier to operate a large site, whit a lot of approval, 
editing, etc. and complex custom layouts (tiles) if you store XML 
content in a db, IMO. Ex: flag content as approved. Count number of 
clicks on it. Display content to a role. etc. is trivial with a DB XML.

ROSSEL Olivier wrote:


That would be the past IMO. Apache HTTP and Cocon and similar are PITA.

... you can publish static text from Struts like this:
- Store XML content in a db field. (from user input or RSS feed).
- XSLT it and cache HTML cache in a db field.
Or many variations such as Styxx browser side.

You can now approve it, secure it, WIKI it, RSS feed it, count 
clicks, find matching advertisements to display, display it in a 
struts tile that users can move around like my.netscape.com.

I would say it is a good practice to use Struts with XML for delivery 
of static and dynamic content.



Cocoon is great if your input is already XML.
Cocoon is a fully-XML framework.
And its cache management can't be beat.



The problem I'm facing is that I don't want to put xml documents inside 
a database. This because the fact that there are a lot of documents in 
various formats. So we want to convert those documents to XML. And use 
cocoon to publish those documents. Plus those documents are written by 
people using their average wordprocessor or in the futere a 
wordprocessor which can do XML. We don't want them to feed a Database.

But another part of the website is an application which will be written 
with struts. Now I don't think it is a solution to XML the output from 
struts (I just understant the struts-tag libraries and the struts-layout 
library, I don't want to learn XSP/XForms etc yet) and render it with 
cocoon.

What is wrong with using struts and cocoon mixed together. For me it's 
just a few extra steps to forward an struts action to JSP page that 
produces XML output which will be forwarded to cocoon. Especially when 
it is an form where users have to provide input which needs to be 
processed by a struts action.

On the other side I think it's worthwile when a result of a struts 
action is a XML document, is to render that document with cocoon. So 
levering the power of both frameworks.

Question is if it is possible to render part's of a page with struts and 
 another part with cocoon which are combined within a tiles-definition.

Well, the question is to know what change most.
The XML content itself or the metadata around it.

The advantage of DB is the notion of relations.
The drawback is the cache management.
If the DB allows to retrieve timestamps or things like that so you can
take decisions about cache, it's fine.

Filesystem can be a VERY efficient database, when
properly used.

My main problem with XML databases is the poor load capability.
And RDBMS with XML extensions have too poor functionnalities (at
least Oracle 9iR2)



I do not use it as such, I just store XML as text (or even blob) in a field.
And date/time created is there. As is user that last modified, etc.
Works nice, and in production (and basicPortal is Apache license).

I didn't see any examples in the Struts in Action book, so I was wondering
on the best practice.

Also, my problem is, that I don't want to necessarily have a getter method
return a Collection, by fetching all records in memory, I'd like for each
iteration, or the call to getXXX method, for it to fetch another record.

Basically, if someone has done anything similar, generated large database

In my experience I have used a checkboxes for each row to indicate selection and in some cases provide a Select All or Select None type of control.

Objet : Advanced JSP page help.




	I seek to create a page JSP with the tags Struts/Tiles
and others.
The page which was 	specified is a little complex for
somebody like me
which has little experiment with HTML
	 this is why I am searching concrete examples in order
to facilitate
this development.
	The page 	that I must carry 	out contains a
table with
five columns, four string 	columns and one column with
check box type.I
attached in file joined an image of this list.
	A button add in the page allows the user to add new
element to the
list.
	So the number of record  varies and a scroll bar must
appear if the
number of records
	is superior to four elements. Is it easy to display
scrollbar with
HTML?
	Is it another solution if one wishes all to display on a page ?
	The view must be customizable and the user can sort the
elements of
the table
	by clicking on the header of the column, is it possible ?
	I hope that somebody already made a similar
interface and will
be able to 	send code.
	Thanks a lot in advance.

Re: Wanted a Good Struts Book

And the taglibs, only mentioned in the appendix... Well just written
down what you could find in the documentation. Hardly any examples for
tag usage (except those cases you could figure out yourself because
obvious)





I would disagree on that point. All the taglibs have
1. a definition of every attribute.
2. working example of the tag.
3. example of what the rendered html result will look like.

There may be errors as mech said, but I have not run across one yet.
I have Chuck and ted's books as well. Weighing in as the thinnist book
of the bunch , I still use it as a tag reference. Having said that I
love ted's book a lot, it is stuffed with a lot of excellent

are answered in this book. Chuck's book I have not had a chance to
really evaluate it fully but I liked what I have seen so far.

Re: Updating collections of information

Multirow updates and MasterDetail and even more complex processing is
done all the time with Sturts.
In resource you will find many sample apps, one of the multirow links is
here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/basicportal/basicportal_07/portlets/cms/ContentApprovePortlet.jsp?rev=1.7content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

So yes, of course that works.

I've read the Struts User Guide, Programming Jakarta Struts, searched
Google, and asked a couple of acquaintances, but have yet to find a
definitive answer to whether Struts can help me in the following situation.
The closest thing I've found is a reference to IndexTags under Struts
Resource.

I have a form which correctly displays information found in a collection of
beans. However, each piece of displayed information is potentially
updateable. When the form is subsequently submitted, does Struts
rebuild/update the collection of elements? I suspect it doesn't because
attempting to retrieve the collection from the form bean returns null. If
not, any suggestions as to how I should handle this? Shall I resort to
using straight html elements with a naming convention and Java scriptlets,
as opposed to trying to use the struts html element tags?

Sample portion of JSP:
logic:iterate name=selectedBean id=element property=elements
type=xxx.yyy.ElementBean indexId=rowNum
tr class=%= rowNum.intValue() % 2 == 0 ? evenRow : oddrow %
td align=lefthtml:text name=element property=propertyA//td
td align=centerhtml:checkbox name=element
property=propertyB/html:checkbox/td
td align=centerhtml:checkbox name=element
property=propertyC/html:checkbox/td
/tr
/logic:iterate

I am using Struts 1.0.2 and Tomcat 4.1.12.

Any assistance, or confirmation that this is not possible with Struts will
be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: XSLT Struts

That would be the past IMO. Apache HTTP and Cocon and similar are PITA.

... you can publish static text from Struts like this:
- Store XML content in a db field. (from user input or RSS feed).
- XSLT it and cache HTML cache in a db field.
Or many variations such as Styxx browser side.

You can now approve it, secure it, WIKI it, RSS feed it, count clicks, 
find matching advertisements to display, display it in a struts tile 
that users can move around like my.netscape.com.

I would say it is a good practice to use Struts with XML for delivery of 
static and dynamic content.

I agree on using cocoon for publishing XML data. But IMHO we shouldn't 
mix two parts of the universe to much. Struts for webapplications and 
cocoon as a publishing framework.

I just started developing webapplications with struts. It's great for 
the application-part of the website, but for the publishing of static 
text I don't see much advantage using struts. For that I see a great 
advantage in using cocoon.

Now I didn't use cocoon yet. But for me the ideal combination would be 
that I could insert into a tiles-definition a jsp-page, a struts-action, 
a tiles-definition or a xml page. The first three would be handled by 
struts and the xml-page by cocoon.

Have anyone experience with this kind of use with cocoon and struts?

Re: Struts application infrastructure choices

2002-12-14 Thread V. Cekvenich

One way is to integrate via Oracle (or less expensive to operate
PostgreSQL). What ever you need, you can cache or create an async.
process to store the needed data in the DB, that is in the secured zone.
Sort of a real time data ware house. So via Oracle create views or pl
SQL on to other resources. Like create work tables, that are async.
synchronized to other resources. This makes it very, very fast for DB
access, at worst you get a bit stale data at times.
It is a bit of pick your pain / gray issue.
To integrate from app server via JMS, you could have performance -
access time issues, complexity, in addition to other issues.

Also, no reason to run an Web Server, if you have an app. server (since
any app. server can also server out web pages).

Aymeric Alibert wrote:
Hello,

We are successfully running a large struts application. We designed it using a 'classic' architecture:
- A Tomcat server running the application in our DMZ.
- Use of Struts for our front-end and implementation of the DAO pattern to isolate our Data Access layer. Even if everything runs on the same server.
- Use of DBCP pooling from Tomcat to access our Oracle database.

Looking ahead, I can see needs for JMS connectivity or connection to various type of data sources within our company and to communicate with our partners.
Also, our security team does not like having a Tomcat server in the DMZ accessing more and more internal information systems. We would like to take our infrastructure to the next level.

I was thinking of introducing an Application Server within our firewall. It will implement our Data Access connectivity and the DAO on the Web Server will use RMI to access it.
I am a little afraid of performance degradation by introducing RMI between the Web Server and Application Server. Also deployment will probably be more complex.
Another solution would be to have both Web Server and App Server running on the same box in the DMZ. But that
does not solve my security concerns.

I don't have much experience with application servers and would not need the full features of a J2EE app server (at least not right now). Am I on the right path?
Does someone have advices or best practices to follow?

I've read the documentation.. The confusion is how do i access a collection

Imagine i've a user form and a list of users on the same page.

[list returned via request via action]
Joe Bloggs

Etc

Add user form
Name input box
Company select menu

I've already passed a list of users via the request object, and I'm not
happy with the concept of having to run an action everytime i want to get a
collection.

I could have a bunch of collections in my session but I'd prefer to use the
request. I know how to do this by instantiating a bean in my jsp, but I
can't do this due to some silly design constraints because this might
involve people having to learn something else.

I can think of a few ways of attempting this but I imagine that there must
be a way of doing this only defining collections once and being able to list
without calling an action. Ideally my collections will be availble on any
page, without having to instantiate anything.

So far I can only see that manipulating forms via FormBean . But then what
happens when i want the collection for something else? I could be confused
but when i read the struts docs i got the impression that this sort of thing
was possible.

Re: OptionsCollection

Confused as to what your confusion is.

Are you confused that you see one thing and display another (which I get 
a lot from my students?).

There are 2 things going on, a client/browser side join not a db/server 
side join.
Example, you have a formBean with dept 101 a numeric field. You unit 
test this and CRUD. This is your Form Bean!!
Once you get that, then:
Now you want to display Marketing as a drop down instead of 101. So 
101-Marketing, 102-Sales, etc. You care a collection, yet another thing 
you put in scope.
The client side, using select and optionCollection tag displays current 
dept., and a choice of other depts.
So a user sees Marketing drop down, which comes from the name part of 
collection. But the current value is in the formbean.

.V

Mark wrote:
Okay... But a drop down menu is screen data.

And a list of companies is something that will be used more than once.

So I have a normal class in my model layer

ListCompanies

In my UserAction

(ListCompanies).getCompanies();

But this Action's primary job is to return a list of users (which it does).

As the list is screen data i should be defining this in my form bean? This
is something thats being confusing me for weeks. If i've a bunch of
collections how can i make them available to iterate tags and select menus,
without using useBean (sorry silly design constraint, but beyond my
control).

Hopefully I'm just being silly, i could really do with some pointers as
where i'm missing the point.

Re: Processing multiple records all at once

This is good.

However a bit much copying. Also, quite a few forms could have multi 
row processing or master/detail processing. One does not want to to it 
over and over; if you do OO, you could create a basebean that does this 
in the ancestor, by having your formbean implement a collection, as in 
basicPortal.com open source example.

Max Cooper wrote:
Brad,

I have written some pages/actions that do what you describe here. I believe
that one way to go would be to use nested properties, but I haven't tried
that yet, so I am not sure how to do it. The solution I used was to create
an ActionForm for the page that has arrays for each field from the rows.
Something like this (generic example -- replace rowId and rowProperty1 with
your real row properties):

public class RowsForm extends ActionForm {
   private String[] rowId;
   private String[] rowProperty1;
   public String[] getRowId() {
  return rowId;
   }
   public void setRowId(String[] rowId) {
  this.rowId = rowId;
   }
   public String[] getRowProperty1() {
  return rowProperty1;
   }
   public void setRowProperty1(String[] rowProperty1) {
  this.rowProperty1 = rowProperty1;
   }
}

The properties are arrays to receive values from each row in the data set
when you submit the form. For iterating through the data, we added a method
that would return a Collection of objects, where each represents a single
row. Something like this:

public class RowForm extends ActionForm { // this could also be a plain-old
JavaBean, too
   private String id;
   private String property1;
   // getters and setters for the id and property1
}

// add this method to RowsForm
   public Collection getRows() {
  Collection rows = new ArrayList();
  final int size = rowId.length;
  for (int i = 0; i  size; i++) {
 RowForm row = new RowForm();
 row.setId(rowId[i]);
 row.setProperty1(rowProperty1[i]);
 rows.add(row);
  }
  return rows;
   }

So, that setup will allow you to get the data out of the form after the user
submits their changes (by calling RowsForm.getRows()). You will get data for
each row, so you still need to decide which rows were changed, and which
ones the user simply left alone.

As for getting the data into the form and displaying it on the page, you
could add another method like populateForm(Vector rowData) to copy the data
to the arrays like this:

// another method in RowsForm
   public void populateForm(Vector rowData) {
  // get the Vector size
  final int size = rowData.size();
  // initialize the arrays
  rowId = new String[size];
  rowProperty1 = new String[size];
  // copy the data from the objects in the Vector into the arrays
  Vector rowData = new Vector();
  final int size = rowData.size();
  Enumeration enum = rowData.elements();
  for (int i = 0; i  size; i++) {
 Data element = (Data) enum.nextElement();
 rowId[i] = String.valueOf(element.getId());
 rowProperty1[i] = element.getProperty1();
  }
   }

However, it might be a bit wasteful to copy all the data into the arrays if
you are going to call getRows() to turn them back into a Collection of
objects so that you can use the logic:iterate tag to display them in the
JSP. If you can get the data into a Collection instead of a Vector (or is a
Vector a Collection these days?), you can just have a single Collection
property on RowsForm that you set in the action, and the JSP will call the
getter to get the Collection to iterate over. The JSP to iterate over the
Collection and write out the rows might look something like this:

table
tr
  thid/th
  thproperty1/th
/tr
logic:iterate name=rowsForm property=rows id=row
type=com.yada.yada.yada.RowForm scope=request
tr
  td
%-- write the id as text for display, and also as a hidden field for
submittal --%
bean:write name=row property=id /
html:hidden name=row property=id /
  /td
  td
html:text name=row property=property1 /
  /td
/tr
/logic:iterate
/table

Your Action will get the populated RowsForm on the submit, and you can call
RowsForm.getRows() to get a Collection of RowForm objects to work with.

Subject: Processing multiple records all at once




I've searched the internet and different news groups for an answer to this
question, but have yet to find something that matches what I'm trying to


do.


I have an application that reads records from a table and creates an
instance of a bean for each row.  Therefore, when I return from my DB


call,


I have a Vector of beans representing the data.

I need to display all of this on one jsp form, letting the user have the
ability to update any of the fields in any of the records and click a


Update


button, which will send ALL of the data back to the Action class to be
processed.  I have done this before (not

Re: Processing multiple records all at once

1. make the bean implement a collection interface.
2. use indexed tag
DONE! Struts controller does the magic. The multi row is basis for doing 
master detail and many to many on the screen. Most pages need indexed 
(mutlirow, M/D, etc.) forms processing.

Source Ex:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/basicportal/basicportal_07/src/basicWebLib/org/commons/DAO/BaseBeanImpl.java

This is a base bean, and it implements collection. See the iterator 
adapter in source above.
Struts sees this bean as a collection (but is's a bean) and it auto 
sets all the properties. You do nothing in action, etc., other than set 
up your base bean as a collection like above. Base, as in other beans 
extend this class. This means no code needed in action or concreate 
beans to handle multi row, just some code to set up bus. M/d processing.

Than your JSP is same as before, you just use indexed property as so:
%@ tag lib uri=struts/html prefix=html %
%@ taglib uri=struts/logic prefix=logic %
%@ taglib uri=jstl/c prefix=c %

html
head
link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=css/default.css

tdFieldName:/td
tdhtml:text name=row indexed=true property=fieldName//td
/tr
/logic:iterate

/table

html:submit property=submit value=Save /

/html:form

This is good.

However a bit much copying. Also, quite a few forms could have multi

row processing or master/detail processing. One does not want to to it 
over and over; if you do OO, you could create a basebean that does this 
in the ancestor, by having your formbean implement a collection, as in

Max Cooper wrote:

Brad,

I have written some pages/actions that do what you describe here. I


believe


that one way to go would be to use nested properties, but I haven't


tried


that yet, so I am not sure how to do it. The solution I used was to


create


an ActionForm for the page that has arrays for each field from the


rows.


Something like this (generic example -- replace rowId and rowProperty1


with


your real row properties):

public class RowsForm extends ActionForm {
  private String[] rowId;
  private String[] rowProperty1;
  public String[] getRowId() {
 return rowId;
  }
  public void setRowId(String[] rowId) {
 this.rowId = rowId;
  }
  public String[] getRowProperty1() {
 return rowProperty1;
  }
  public void setRowProperty1(String[] rowProperty1) {
 this.rowProperty1 = rowProperty1;
  }
}

The properties are arrays to receive values from each row in the data


set


when you submit the form. For iterating through the data, we added a


method


that would return a Collection of objects, where each represents a


single


row. Something like this:

public class RowForm extends ActionForm { // this could also be a


plain-old


JavaBean, too
  private String id;
  private String property1;
  // getters and setters for the id and property1
}

// add this method to RowsForm
  public Collection getRows() {
 Collection rows = new ArrayList();
 final int size = rowId.length;
 for (int i = 0; i  size; i++) {
RowForm row = new RowForm();
row.setId(rowId[i]);
row.setProperty1(rowProperty1[i]);
rows.add(row);
 }
 return rows;
  }

So, that setup will allow you to get the data out of the form after


the user


submits their changes (by calling RowsForm.getRows()). You will get


data for


each row, so you still need to decide which rows were changed, and

 Vector rowData = new Vector();
 final int size = rowData.size();
 Enumeration enum = rowData.elements();
 for (int i = 0; i  size; i++) {
Data element = (Data) enum.nextElement();
rowId[i] = String.valueOf(element.getId

it never gets to the form because its trying to display the form in the

You can't have validate both ways.
Has anyone figured out how to integrate READ into the CRUD DispatchAction?
Or do I need to make a different action mapping for READ (for showing a

Here is where you can find sample apps, cleverly hidden on the home page 
of Struts:
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/resources/index.html

But don't be shy about taking a intro public Struts training class, 
there are like 10 companies that train ( It used to be a few last year). 
Or consider a mentor/consultant, many on this list.

I think you display a list of items, and users type in how many of each 
they want to order or something? If so:
Once you master parm passing using examples above(it is so basic in 
Struts), bellow is an example of a multi row update.
It might be more intermediate to do this. (that is why I like to teach 
Struts to people how know Struts)
Struts basically does multi row updates for you almost transparent, 
trick is index tag and form bean that implements iterator (you know 
where the example is, right?). Rumor is that David Karr is adding docs 
on Index tag in a few days.
Multi row updates are basis of doing master detail processing on a 
single page or a many to many on a single page, I give you sample 
working code for a simple multi row update:

Re: Java Server Faces stage?

2002-12-07 Thread V. Cekvenich

Summary: I am considering bypassing JSF for XFORMS.

Details:
Adolfo, I have sent several longish feedback's to JCP/EG, and mostly 
gotten wait till next release. But I do not see them accepting input so 
far, true to the reputation of JCP. After calling Ms. Cleo, here is yet 
another opinion on JSF, with all respects due Craig (my guess is that 
even he can't get them to change):

1. The reference implementation of JSF, and most that follow, it will 
likely be non- scalable, and of no use to sites with large loads. As 
anyone can read the spec., it tends to do most of the rich GUI 
processing on the server, not on the browser.  (Because it might not use 
a browser?)

2. JSF seems design seems design by committee, where no one said no. It 
is designed for many exceptions.
- It does HTTP and other protocols.
- It does HTML and other devices, like the long dead WAP.
Thus, I expect it to be not particularly good at any. The design should 
have been design for the rule, not the exception, so it should have been 
a HTTP/HTML design. Example where they made it complex is this state 
management stuff. If you work mostly on HTTP/HTML, there is a more 
standard way of doing things .* Same as EJB is distributed and cached 
and  local and persistence and does not use SQL, but EQL.
As people in project management know, to succeeds on a project, you must 
be able to say no. (or read about it at why projects succeed at 
softwarereality.com) JSF is sort of like a design for a submarine that 
is also a lawn mower.
State can be managed just fine as is.
See links at: http://jibbering.com/2002/4/httprequest.html

3. http://asp.net/webmatrix/default.aspx?tabindex=4tabid=46
I asked JCP/EG to have a real client that has production web app that 
have rich GUI be involved in some way. MS I think is closer to being 
useful, yet again. My guess is that EG is more focused on technology for 
the sake of technology.


4. Multiple beans on a page? That is not MVC. That means in the view you 
are creating master detail relationships. In Struts, you have a single 
form bean. That means that you can create a business bean with master 
detail processing, or many to many processing and unit test it and reuse 
it elsewhere, with no code in the view. (you do this by overriding 
iterators next, and CRUD events in the bean). So not very MVC. Also, it 
talks a bit about expression language instead of DAO, making it harder 
to overload/ovreride, which IMO is not OO, thus not productive or reusable.


5. The RI is not open source. Enough said.

Right now, Ms. Cleo thinks JSF will be a flash in a pan, and will go the 
way of EJB.  So I will refer baseBeans and MVC clients to stick with 
JavaScript for now. But I will demo JSF features (and bad Sides) at all 
my public and private training's.
(2 coming up in DC and NYC, and also at each of the training everyone 
gets a FREE AUTOGRAPHED book on Struts by Husted).

So what does Ms. Cleo tell me will win? .NET?

Ever heard of W3.org standards?
http://www.w3.org/2002/11/xforms-pressrelease.html.en
and one plug in
	 http://www.formsplayer.com/introduction.htm

As J2EE vendors jump on, see attached and links at:
http://www.novell.com/xforms (by SilverStream)
* Attached shows drag and drop on XFORMS.
I hope you see how this is much more competitive with .NET.

Can you do JSF with XFORMS? Not sure, it appears that you would then 
process 2 sets of events.

It takes a lot of change management to switch technologies, and JSF 
might be in and out, not worth learning. Keep you eye on XFORMS.

Hi,
   I looked at the archives and found abstract base actions.

   1. I have two actions, the base handling the basic flow and the
sub-action handling the alternate flow. ( Apart from these two I have a
common base action which all actions extend containing login checks etc. )

   Now I wanted to pass the control to the sub-action when the alternate
flow happens. Usually it is polymorphism. Now with struts everything is
routed by the config.xml file. I can't call a method in the sub-action from
the base action ? Does it violate the struts flow ?

   That is why I decided to use an abstract method somewhere in the
hierarchy to be polymorphic but abstract classes can't be instantiated by
struts.

   That is what caused the confusion. Is my thinking right ?

The reason why I decided to have a sub-action instead of a helper class is
that in some cases it might be an independent action.

Mohan,

Two different behaviors is what you wish then you need to derive from a
concrete base class. Abstract classes are more likely to provide conformance
to an architecture or signature template.

In Struts, folks usually inherit from the Action class to create certain
behaviors. If you need to super() to a base class, you are correct, it
cannot be an abstract class. I would suggest that it shouldn't be in most
any case, but I don't know your architecture.

It is also early and I am not sure of your terminology. A base class is a
super class (standard inheritance diagrams display that way) and subsequent
derivations are known as subclasses. When you want to use the code in a
super class from your sub class, you user super() to call it. So your sub
class (a derivation of your base class) needs to call into its super class,
it is done with a super() call. The super() call is (and must be) the first
statement in the subclass's overriding method.

All of this seems too easy, so I am sure I have completely missed the point.

Hi,

  If an action has two different behaviours then it is advised to use an
abstract method in the base class that the sub-action can override.

  Our base action's perform method has to pass control to a sub action's
method for the varying behavior. But if we use an abstract method then the
action cannot be instantiated.

How is this usually done?
Thanks,
mohan

There must be something that logic:iterate can do that JSTL can't.  What

One thing to consider. if you like MVC.

What I do is save e-mail to an e-mail table in DB.
Then I have a console async process in a cron job select all e-mail that 
was not flaged as sent.

(I also do RSS same way).

It just works better form me this way.

Bean does not access the db!

DAO access the db. (DAO can be implemented several ways)
Bean has a DAO helper.

DAO can get JNDI pool from container or make its own pool, based on

Also, you should be able to unit test you beans for CRUD.

Above has a working DAO implementation that uses RowSet.
The idea is that you can have many implementations using DAO.
(So, next to it is same DAO that uses SQL-Commons. I only use light

Re: [OT] Updating CachedRowSet

2002-11-26 Thread V. Cekvenich

RowSet does not do Multi Table Updates! Neither does CommonsSQL as I saw 
it. That is why it's light weight, fast and scalable, since it does not 
deal with O/R, it is just relational data. For R/O, you can do joins, 
most data is R/O. Also, if you do use RowSet, do not use ResultSet, no 
need for it. (The reason I use Struts is that is is light weight and 
fast, thus I avoid heavy DAO layers that do not do SQL (ex: EJB, JDO, OJB).

For R/W:
But of course one can do master/Detail, or many to many, or more 
complicated updates, in fact most updates are compound. See if I can 
explain this, but it takes using the tool between the ears:
For multi table updates I create a nested bean. Master/Detail like.
I always start by creating base beans, simple beans that are unit 
tested, and have a dao, but have a singe table.
Then I created a C bean that extends bean A, and has a bean B. (is a/has 
 a is very OO **)
Bean C has 2 tables now. (you get the idea?) It has a B getB() method. I 
override next (for iteration) to go next on the A and B, find  {to do 
super.find() (for A) and B.find for b }, save { super.save(), B.save() 
}, etc.
With this Zero copy approach, I can get very high transactions rates for 
low overhead. Compare this to multi copy and ineficient aproach of array 
list of objects when you need to do updetable master detail processing.
Why is this Zero copy? Because the cached or disconnected row set, where 
the retrieval happens, is where the setters fire. (Advanced: My beans 
are actually collections with getRow so they can do multi row updates, 
but  they look like regular beans).

I can change DAO implementation at will as well. I can use same bean in 
console, or Model 1, or Soap, etc. since DAO lets me create a DBCP pool 
or use the pool of the container (based on properties).
My Beans of type C are tied to the presentation layer.

OT: (Since my beans of type C are tied to the presentation, I do 
presentation first on my projects as a contract with 0 code until the 
presentation layers is accepted and signed of by a client.
The presentation just has actions that forward to success, nothing 
else, maybe some other navigation logic.
The JSPs the client sees look real, as a finished app. It has tiles, and 
CSS, but no java code, no point in coding until the client signs of. 
Once the client says, yes, this is the what I want (Just blank actions 
and JSP) then I start coding the simple beans that I unit test. Then I 
create the bus. compound beans (is a/ has a) and unit test them. Thus I 
have benefits of layered iterative approach. The thing that I will be 
adding soon to example app , is more browser side procesing in XFORMS, 
and JavaScript.
Consider allways writing presentation and action mappings first in Model 
2, then beans come natural. That is why you do MVC layers, right, so you 
can unit test each!).

.V


** Some people do not realize that Java is OO capable.  Java does not 
produce OO reusable code on it's own, it compiles fine linear, but you 
could if you have experience make it reusable via OO. This lets me reuse 
beans, and other things.

Hi,
Could anyone share your experience in using RowSet to Transfer data from
ResultSet? What is the significance difference using a rowset instead of
our custom generated collection object or something like TableModel?
What would be a better option for the following situation.

Objective
	1. Create a Custom Tag which will generate a Table HTML Display
based on a Result Set. Approach 1
	1. Run the SQL
	2. Populate Collection (RowSet/TableModel/Any other) from
ResultSet
	3. Pass the collection to Custom Tag
	4. Custom Tag will generate SELECTOption/SELECT based on
the collection.

In the above scenario will I save any processing (Looping) if I use
RowSet? If I am using my own collection I need to run Loop 1 to create
the collection and Loop 2 inside Custom Tag to generate HTML. RowSet
looks like saving the first loop. But how it is internally doing? Is it
the same way?

Pls provide your advice.

Thanks in advance

Re: About RowSet

Perhaps you wanted to create a SQL Super type. This is a commons sql 
design, it goes like this.

Thre are many types, codes, and decodes in SQL.
Newbies solve it like this.
Table States: StateCode, StateName;
Table Status: StatusCode, Status
Table NextStep: Step, Name
Table Type: Type, Name
etc. etc.

Thus creating many code tables and poulting the model and not be able to 
write OO.

The solution is a super type table that decodes all types like this:
Type, Code, Name
Ex:
State, NY, New York
Status, Closed, Closed

etc.

So one table to stroe all the types.

Then write a simple bean 2, properties, name/value.
Then write a helper bean that returns a collection of properties above, 
based on type.
So find(states);
or find(status);

I should upload this example up to bP.
My invoice is on the way.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I think I failed to share my objective clearly with
you.
What we are planning to do is
	1. Create a DB Table with two columns
		{ID  VARCHAR2(20)
		 SQL_STMT VARCHAR2(1000)}
	2. Register the SQL statement with an ID in DB
		For Example for a Customer Drop Down generation I will have
a record like
		ID- CUSTDD001
		SQL_STMT - SELECT Cust_Cd,Cust_Nm from Customer 
	3. Write a Custom Tag Which will take this ID as an Argument
	4. Custom Tag will retrieve the SQL_STMT based on ID ,then execute a
loop on the resultset 
	and return an HTML output like 
	SELECT 
			option value=CustCd1CustNm1
			option value=CustCd1CustNm1
			option value=CustCd1CustNm1
	/SELECT
	
	This looks a deviation from Model 2 Approach.

	So alternatively I was thinking to populate some Collection using
some standard Method defined and then pass
this collection to Custom Tag. This is definitely a good approach in
Architecture sense.But if I consider the performance factor this looks a bit
expensive. Reason is simple, I need to run the SQL and execute a loop on
ResultSet to create the Collection. Then in the custom Tag I need to run
another loop on Collection to generate HTML.This effect can be really
considerable in case of pages with many DropDowns.
	Returning resultset is another option which will leave me Statement
unclosed. I heard somwhere that ResultSet can be assigned to RowSet without
any loops. Also I can close the Statement and return the connection.
Hope this will explain my situation better.Pls advise.

Thanks  Regards

http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-02-2001/jw-0202-cachedrow.html as 
per google, or you can read the JavaDoc on rowset in Java Developers 
Connection on JavaSoft.com.

You should either use RowSet or Resultset, not sure of why mix.
RowSet extends ResultSet, major difference that former is a bean, that 
is you can say new RowSet(), thus making GC a bit easier for new 
developers who do not do the nested finally right for the ResultSet.

Since you are posting on Struts, I assume you would use existing tags, 
as opposed to writing tags.

There is a source code approach with zero copy on basicPortal.sf.net.
A DAO has a ROWSET. (or CommonsSQL - 2 ways)
A Bean has a DAO.
DAO is also an iterator, and Bean is also a Collection(advanced topic: 
even as your treat this bean for testing with bean properties, Struts 
sees it as a collection (iterator adaptor w getRow), so it can do multi 
row updates, for master detail processing).
You unit test the Bean, so it can be used by Console, Model1 use bean, etc.

The benefit of this design is that when a setter is fired by Struts, it 
is on the disconnected RowSet, thus Zero copy.
There are no VO, DTO, etc. objects that are GCed later, thus you can 
support more concurrent users per server.

Not sure what loops or populations you are talking about, but there is a 
rowset DAO w/ Struts on sf.net

Above is for any bean.

For options collection, you can create an collection of beans, with 2 
properties. Again, do not use Resultset for beans, and RowSet for 
options, it makes no sense.

hth,
.V

ot: I will soon have a DAO that also uses Commons SQL so you can chose 
RowSet or CommonSQL (else you write your own DAO, to say JDO)
