RE: Question on Struts debugging - one more time
I don't use a proper IDE, I'm waiting till it's clear they are very good I
can get a fast response time. So some of what I said was in ignorance, but also many
people don't
use IDE's yet.
I don't have time to keep trying them out - last year I tried, they clearly needed a

Is netbeans the best IDE?
Are you happy with it?

I've not had better luck. I think it's the way it
is.
Here's how I do it - I'd like to know how others do.
I use hundreds of log messages so I can trace the
flow of my program. I make
the method calls for
logging easy to type - dbmd(a debug msg) or
dbmw(warning message).
I code traces into action classes from the start. to
show the perform method
starting ending so
a dud struts config is found because the Action i
expect to run doesn't log
it's start.
I check for null pointers all over the place log a
warning or throw an
exception for them.
I constantly restart the server (tomcat 3.2.2) to
make weird problems go
away.
Auto class reloading doesn't work properly so - I
restart after every
compile.
I use these 3 methods in jsp's Action classes a
lot, to check the contents
of the session
request - this finds things left in the session by
mistake.
public static void
printSessionAttributeNames(String caller,
HttpSession session) {
public static void
printRequestAttributeNames(String caller,
HttpServletRequest request) {
public static void printRequestParameters(String
caller,
HttpServletRequest request) {
I've attached the code for them, someone may find
them useful - the codes a
bit dodgy old but
it's easy to understand.
I have my own logging code (from old servlet
programming) but I want to use
log4j (one day!) - You
really need to be able to switch trace messages
on/off without re-compiling
classes or restarting
the server.
Only when it's quite reliable do I remove the
messages. Often I just comment
the mesages out in
expectation it will go wrong in future.
All in all a bit primitive compared to some
(non-web) environments I've
worked in. we're in the
early days - things will get easier. We'll get
informative/instructive
messages that tell us what
to do to put it right we'll be able to step thru

RE: Question on Struts debugging - one more time
I am quite happy with it.
There is some time in figuring out configuration
issues and searching through mailing lists. But if
you're reading this one...
I have 256 ram and and p4 @home, 500 ram and p1 here
at work -- both work sufficiently well. Being able to
see what is being debugged is important for me and I
will take a little hit in performance if necessary,
but I haven't noticed it being overly slow anyways.
I have used visual age in the past, but prefer
netbeans. Nice thing about netbeans is you can get it
for free and download it at home with no problem.
CVS and ant are also being used here and I find them
invaluable as well.

I know this is a fairly simple example and I am getting better at debugging
them but it would be nice if there was someway to make this so I check the

Hi Keith,
Thanks for your reply.
I do use already many of the techniques listed in your email as well as
log4j.
I do not have any problem catching errors in form and actions classes.
I do have problem finding errors that come out of the html tags in JSPs.
If there is a bad mapping and an html:form's action point to the mapping
with a problem I do not see any errors in any of the logs. I have modified
my error.jsp in hopes of seeing more but so far nothing.
If I have better luck with this I will let the group know.

Thought I would give this one more try. Has anyone had better luck with
debugging problems caused by say bad action mappings, ie: mis-named action
classes, missing action forms etc. Currently when these problems are
encountered I see no useful error messages in any of my logs (even when
debug is set to 2).
Is this just the way that it is or have I failed to do something?
Thanks,
Erich
Sent previously:
I have been using Struts for some time now. My app's Struts config file
has
almost 50 action mappings so I have been down this road a time or two.
Many times when adding a new mapping I run into errors though. For example
the latest on was where the mapping listed an action class called
something
like UserCreateAction (package removed). But when I wrote the class itself
I
named it UserAddAction.
Now when I built the app and moved to the Orion apps server and ran it
when
I get to the JSP that references this action mapping I get a null
exception.
Typically I do not catch exceptions in a JSP and the uncaught exceptions
go
to my error JSP where it states that the exception is null.
So I go into my web.xml file and change the debug param to 2. I also
changed
detail to 2. (By the way what does detail = 2 do?)
Then I re-ran everything after rebuilding and re-deploying. The app still
does the same thing.
OK, fine now I go to check the logs. I check the apps server log where
system outs go. I see no Struts messages except for the flurry of them at
startup. I look at the log4j error logs and see nothing. I also looked at
the apps servers application log where I see some Struts messages but see
nothing about this error.
So my Struts debugging question is this. Are errors encountered when
converting the Struts tags in my JSP written anywhere? Is there more debug
settings I must make? Is there another log that I can check?
I know this is a fairly simple example and I am getting better at
debugging
them but it would be nice if there was someway to make this so I check the
log and it says that Action class UserCreateAction does not exist.
Let me know,
Erich Kilmer
