subject:"Re\:"

I've just finished fixing what I think is the same problem you guys have
been
having i.e. switching modules on Struts 1.1

First, make sure you have the most recent release build of struts, as I had
problems
with earler 1.1 builds on weblogic 8.1

I originally started with the simple-module-switching application to get
things going and I
had to make a few modifications to get it working.

You can download it from http://www.garvey.ie/struts/multimod.zip and
hopefully you will be
able to spot where things are going wrong.

Hope this helps,

Colm

RE: Handling Date objects in ActionForm gracefully

2004-03-26 Thread Joe Hertz


Since I just wrestled greatly with this particular beast, my $.02 follows.

Subclass whatever flavor of ActionForm you use, and give it a method with a 
footprint like-

java.util.Date StringToDate(String) 
{
}

This way you can do something like this in your action:

public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception
{
  Myform mf = (Myform) form;
  BizObject bo = new BizObject();
  String dateText = mf.getDateString();
  bo.setDate(mf.StringToDate(dateText);
  // etc
}

This works very well unless internationalizing your app because the converter 
needs a DateFormat defined to read the String correctly. And I am, so I need 
to come up with something.

I don't suppose there is a version of BeanUtils that lets the user pass a 
DateFormat into copyProperties :-)???

 I also suggest this approach to keep the date as string 
 during posts and convert them to date object when porcessing

 Depends on  what you really want to achieve. Would suggest

Asunto: Re: Handling Date objects in ActionForm gracefully

I think the way of going about converting is pretty open, either have 
some conversion utils between the web tier and the model. I tend to do 
it in the action and then when things get long or i need the code again 
move it out into  a util class or like you're saying make my model util 
classes deal with strings (this makes a lot of sense as then other 
front ends can be plugged on).

Talk of MVC aside (after all MVC is a broader issue than the particular 
pattern that struts is based on) why piss about dealing with all sorts 
of errors and exceptions being thrown in the place where its hardest to 
deal with them?

You can and people do use different types for form beans, but I just 
don't see the point. Date comes up often and lets face it dates are 
more user friendly as dropdown menus rather than free text, so  
getDay() , getMonth() and getYear() IMO are a simpler way of going 
about things. Then have methods in you model that create a date based 
on that, or have a util class in the web tier as you can deal with 
validating the three values. Perhaps even have a date that's in you 
form bean but is set and got (passed participle of get) via string 
flavors day, month and year.

Not sure if this works but I think the idea is valid (corrections 
welcome).

public class SomeForm extends ActionForm {

private Calendar aDate = Calender.instance();

public String getDay() {
int d = aDate.get(Calendar. DAY_OF_MONTH);
return Integer.toString(d);
}

public void setDay(String day) {
aDate.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,Integer.parseInt(day));
}
...
protected Date getAdate() {
return dDate.getTime();
}
}

This way come checking and comparing values before can be done, before 
passing anything up to you model. Many folk would say that this should 
be done in the model, but i'd say situations where you need to check if 
a user has entered a valid date (e.g. expire and from dates with a 
credit card).

This functionality will want to be produced even if you change the 
model , if you wanted to demo your web tier on its own (without a model 
e.g acme ltd credit card form)  and therefore doing it ONLY in the 
model would be limited.

Very much IMO and I'm not MVC guru, but that's my understanding.

 You deal with the conversion else where but not in the form bean, you
 can argue about it or just believe me. The action form sits between
the

 view and the action, the date conversion goes on between the action
and

 the model.

 Your approach isn't that bad its just not to the MVC pattern that
 struts follows (not that its the only one).

 Create a date convertion util class or something.

 If you dont want to take my word for it here's what craig had to say
 albeit in response to a different question

There is a general problem where input would be better validated in the

using anything but strings for user input will lead to problems.

And my suggestion could well be incorrect, I was putting it out there

 Pls let me know

The simple logger that is included in the commons logging package doesn't
support logging to a file, just to the console. You need to understand that
it is primarily intended to provide the common logging API (the simple
logger is included just to get you started) and then you configure it to use
whatever logging facility under the covers that you want to. Most people use
log4j, but, you could also use the native logging support in JDK 1.4 or
greater.

I recommend configuring to use log4j. I also recommend taking the time to
read the short intro manual to log4j found here:

http://tinyurl.com/3hlrq

I recently posted the contents of a simple log4j configuration file that
does have an example of the necessary configuration to write log messages
both to the console and to file. Check the list archives for a recent post
on logging by me. I use this setup with Tomcat and Weblogic. The one
configuration difference I found is that Weblogic doesn't like relative file
paths for location of log files and Tomcat handles that just fine.

Good luck, Van

P.S. You can either remove the commons logging properties file or explicitly
configure it to use log4j. As long as you setup log4j properly in your
runtime environment, the commons logging logic will use it by default unless
you have a commons logging properties file that explicitly specifies a
different logger implementation.

RE: How does ActionForm data pass through container called form based login page?

Well I've just simplified by login form  - plain html - no struts stuff
going on.

I've also simplified the filter so detects a fresh logon and starts a
session accordingly - no longer any redirecting to LoginAction.

However the critical behaviour is still the same - existingCustomerForm
- the one I need to survive the login process still ends up getting
trashed.

I'm wondering if I have to make every form (that might span a session
timeout) part of the login page so that it stays alive - this sounds
like a ridiculous solution.  Has anyone else got a solution?

Subject: How does ActionForm data pass through container called form

Hi,

Suppose I've got a web based form that posts data to an action, and I
have that action protected by container form based authorization - how
does the ActionForm data get through.

I have a situation like this, and my ActionForm is empty after I've been
through the form-based login page.

One could say - stick the input form in the constrained area also, so
the login page doesn't come between the input form and the action that
processes it - but this is actually occurring when a session times out
whilst sitting at the input form.

Thanks

Re: [OT] WSAD problems with Struts

2004-03-26 Thread Oliver Thiel

Hi,


I have to use: WebSphere Studio Application Developer (Windows)  Version:
5.1.0

I developed my app with the StrutsStudio, as it is not that complex. But
know I have 
to run it on WSAD and run into different problems:

a. WSAD did not like the validation.XML 
   (so deleted it cause I did not use it anyway)

b. I use iBatis for the DB stuff and iBatis needs a newer JDOM version. 
   (so I integrated that and the coresponding DTDs for iBatis, as I was 
not able to referenc it from the net)

so far everything seams to work, but know I got some straing error messages,

that i did not define my ibatis xml  files correctly?!?

But the same app works fine on a Tomcat-Server!


I read in Hubert Rabago mail:
 Just as I suspected.  I'm forced to use WSAD where I work, 
 and I've turned
 off a whole bunch of validations by it, including Struts.  It 
 complains of a
 lot of things that either it doesn't know about or it's just 
 plain wrong
 about.  Fortunately, I only have to run the app there, and 
 not have to do any
 serious coding with it.  My teammates aren't as fortunate, though.


And thought that this could be a way to solve my problem, but did 
not find the right spot to enabel the validation.



Greetings
Oliver




DAMM I allways thougt that using Java would enable me 
to create  a *.war fiel and run it on any Java-application Server!

It may be a little ridiculous, but if the security implementation 
doesn't pass along form data when it forwards to the intended 
destination, then there's not much you can do about it.

I'm assuming that the container is intercepting before Struts ever 
gets a chance to create an ActionForm based on the submission, so I 
don't think that making them session scoped is likely to help.

This probably doesn't constitute a solution, but perhaps extending 
the session timeout would help a bit.  Perhaps you could come up with 
some kind of javascript hack which calls a URL against the struts app 
periodically to keep the session alive?

 Re: Pls help me in configuring common logger
   109791 by: sougata

sougata, if you're using Log4j you need to add a file called
commons-logging.properties file under your WEB-INF/classes directory.  In that
file you need one line:
org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger

Its been my experience that the commons logger does not actually default to
Log4j if its available.

Here is an example of a log4j.properties file:
log4j.rootLogger=ERROR, A1, A2

log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n

log4j.appender.A2=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.A2.file=[file path]
log4j.appender.A2.append=true
log4j.appender.A2.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout 
log4j.appender.A2.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n

The first one is configured for standard out.  The second one writes logs to a
file [file path].  This file should also go under WEB-INF/classes

Re: Struts Validator and Select boxes

2004-03-26 Thread Niall Pemberton

Posting whats in your validation.xml for the form and the bit of your jsp
with your select fields would be helpfull.

If you take the fromDay as an example, you are using
field.getVarValue(fromDay)  - if you don't have a var defined in your
validation.xml for fromDay then that would cause the No Name Specified
error - same goes for fromYear, toMonth, toDay and toYear.

As for getting nulls, looks to me again that whats specified for the vars
in your validation.xml doesn't tie up with the names specified on your form.

From your code I would expect something like the following in your
validation.xml

form.
field 
varvar-namefromDay/var-name
  var-valueformFromDay/var-value
/var
varvar-namefromYear/var-name
  var-valueformFromYear/var-value
/var
varvar-nametoMonth/var-name
  var-valueformToMonth/var-value
/var
varvar-nametoDay/var-name
  var-valueformToDay/var-value
/var
varvar-nametoYear/var-name
  var-valueformToYear/var-value
/var
/field
/form

Do you have the properties in your form correct (i.e in this example
formFromDay, formFromYear, formToMonth, formToDay, formToYear).

Hi,

I am using Struts validator.
One page of mine has dates displayed as MM  DD .
All the above 3 are displayed in seprate combo/select boxes.
I need to do some custom validations on these fields.
I wrote a custom class for the same
Looks like -
   public static boolean validateDates(Object bean,
ValidatorAction validatorAction,
Field field, ActionErrors errors,
HttpServletRequest request)
   {
  String actionType = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue(actionType)); // A hidden form field
  String fromMonth = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getProperty());
  String fromDay = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue(fromDay));
  String fromYear = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue(fromYear));
  String toMonth = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue(toMonth));
  String toDay = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue(toDay));
  String toYear = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue(toYear));

  System.out.println(actionType  + actionType);
  System.out.println(fromMonth  + fromMonth);
  System.out.println(fromDay  + fromDay);
  System.out.println(fromYear  + fromYear);
  System.out.println(toMonth  + toMonth);
  System.out.println(toDay  + toDay);
  System.out.println(toYear  + toYear);

  return true;
   }

O/P of the above code -
actionType searchPage
fromMonth 2
fromDay null
fromYear null
toMonth null
toDay null
toYear null

It also gives me No Name Specified error.
Point to note is that the all other fields other than 'actionType' are
select boxes. It gives a null for all the field types that are of
html:select.
Is this a known BUG or am i going wrong somewhere ?

Yeah, but there are some basic limitations to the container managed 
security model, and I haven't heard any signs that they are being 
addressed.  For example, container managed security doesn't allow you 
to present a login form to a user as a component of any page besides 
the single registered form, and it doesn't allow you to server 
resources from one path with two different states, user authorized 
or not authorized...  Both of those are standard in modern webapps, 
but there's no clean way to handle them using container managed 
security.  (I saw a JDJ article last year that had some work 
arounds...)

So that said, it may not be surprising that the container managed 
security model also has no support for continuing the flow of request 
data to the originally requested URL after logging in.

Subject: RE: How does ActionForm data pass through container called form
based login page?

I might be able to put some general code in the login form (as a jsp)
that puts all form data present in the previous page into the login
form
so it could be passed on, but that will still leave the problem of the
method becomes GET instead of POST.

I'm really hoping there's a more elegant solution - after this
technology's been around for a while!

Yeah, but there are some basic limitations to the container managed 
security model, and I haven't heard any signs that they are being 
addressed.  For example, container managed security doesn't allow you 
to present a login form to a user as a component of any page besides 
the single registered form, and it doesn't allow you to server 
resources from one path with two different states, user authorized 
or not authorized...  Both of those are standard in modern webapps, 
but there's no clean way to handle them using container managed 
security.  (I saw a JDJ article last year that had some work 
arounds...)

So that said, it may not be surprising that the container managed 
security model also has no support for continuing the flow of request 
data to the originally requested URL after logging in.

RE: How does ActionForm data pass through container called form b ased login page?

2004-03-26 Thread Pady Srinivasan


We were going to implement this today or early next week :-)...looking at
the code, I feel you don't need to extend ActionServlet at all. Instead the
filter will create the request before forwarding to the ActionServlet.

public class LoginFilter implements Filter {
  public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
   FilterChain chain) 
throws IOException, ServletException {

HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest)request;
ServletContext context = filterConfig.getServletContext();

If ( !loggedIn ) {
// save all parameters to session
// save current URI as REDIRECT_URI in session
// redirect to login action
} else if ( redirectUriIsSet ) {
RedirectServletRequest newreq = new

RedirectServletRequest(request);
Chain.doFilter(newreq, response);
}
}

Well I've just simplified by login form  - plain html - no struts stuff
going on.

I've also simplified the filter so detects a fresh logon and starts a
session accordingly - no longer any redirecting to LoginAction.

However the critical behaviour is still the same - existingCustomerForm
- the one I need to survive the login process still ends up getting
trashed.

I'm wondering if I have to make every form (that might span a session

Hi,

I have a situation like this, and my ActionForm is empty after I've been

there on how to instantiate a Dyna Bean.  I also pointed to an archive where
I pasted the code I use in my apps to instantiate a Dyna Bean.
Right now, you can look up a FormBeanConfig object from a 
ModuleConfig, and then you can use the FormBeanConfig and the 
ActionServlet to get a new ActionForm instance from RequestUtils. 
This does not go through the request/session scope searching that 
Struts uses when it processes the request parameters into a populated 
ActionForm.

Given the fact that this has come up three or four times in the last 
week, it seems clear that it's time to expose a simple method that 
takes a form bean name and a scope and either finds or creates that 
form bean.  I'm just waiting for a few things to settle down -- 
there's going to be a Struts 1.2.1 release pretty soon now, and we 
have to move the CVS repository to a new location as part of Struts 
becoming a top-level Apache project...  but that stuff should get 
straightened out in the next week or two.

Re: Why there is no getHeader(String headerName) and getHeaders() met hod in HttpServletResponse?

2004-03-26 Thread Richard Yee

Larry,
I'll go out on a limb here and say that since the
response is being generated on the server by a servlet
or JSP, there is no need for getHeader() or
getHeaders() methods because the developer is setting
them. The HttpServletResponse interface has
addHeader() and addXXXHeader() methods to add headers
to the response. There is also the containsHeader()
method which returns a boolean.

 Folks, this may be an off topic question, but I am

 We know that Http protocol has features such as

 and/or getHeaders() methods, however, there is no
 corresponding methods in HttpServletResponse. What
 is the reasoning behind this design?

Re: [OT] JTA, JDBC and data persistence

Freddy, I think you only need to look into using JTA and XA transactions 
if you are spanning multiple data sources (databases).  If you are not, 
then I would look into using an Object-relational mapping tool like 
Hibernate or OJB to do what you want to do.  These tools usually provide 
 support for transactions, in addition to providing a mapping layer for 
your objects.

You may want to take a look at Hibernate (http://www.hibernate.org), if you

Hibernate is a persistence mechanism which utilizes XML mappings to map
Java objects to relational database schemas, and does support cascading

 And are their any outher traps that has to be solved?

RE: newbie html-el question

2004-03-26 Thread Slattery, Tim - BLS

 
 I am trying to display a value from a requestAttribute in an 
 html-el:text ... but I can't get it to work.  Here is my code:
 
 html-el:text: property=searchType 
 value=%=request.getAttribute(searchType)%/
 
 I recieve the error:
 
 Attribute searchType has no value
 
 Someone told me I have to do something more like this:
 
html-el:text property=searchType value=${searchType}/

That's exactly what you should be doing
 
 but where would I define the variable searchType that is accessed 
 there?

searchType should be saved as an attribute of (preferably) your request
object. Actually, a local variable should also work, you can define it using
the c:set... JSTL tag.

Actually, you shouldn't need to specify a value here at all. The
html-el:text... tag will get the default value from your form bean.

You wouldn't, you'd set the property of the Form bean and let Struts
handle it.  

If you need to pre-populate the form, you do that in the Action by
calling setSearchType() on your Form bean.  Then when you forward to the
JSP, Struts will fill in the value.

Can you explain more about your situation?  I'm making some assumptions
that may not be correct.

In general there's no need to touch the 'value' attribute of the tags
that render HTML form elements.

RE: Pls help me in configuring common logger

2004-03-26 Thread Van Riper, Mike

Sougata,

I can point you in the right direction, but, I don't have time to spell
everything out for you. I think you need to do some work on your own reading
the commons logging docs. You need to  understand the commons logging
package and how to configure it to use log4j or the native logging
facilities in JDK 1.4. When I mentioned the simple logger, I was referring
to this implementation of org.apache.commons.logging.Log:

  org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog

If you are using the commons logging package, it has a properties file you
can use to specify which Log interface implementation to use. I could be
wrong, but, when this file is not provided my experience has been that it
will automatically detect the presence of a properly configured log4j and
instantiate a org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger. If a properly
configured log4j is not detected, it will default back to the SimpleLog
implementation.

Good Luck, Van

  Hi Guys
  I am facing a problem in configuration apaches common logger using
  weblogic8.1.I want to send all my log message to a perticular
  file.I am
  using Common logger for my logging message.How to configure
  Pls let me know
 
 The simple logger that is included in the commons logging 
 package doesn't
 support logging to a file, just to the console. You need to 
 understand that
 it is primarily intended to provide the common logging API (the simple
 logger is included just to get you started) and then you 
 configure it to use
 whatever logging facility under the covers that you want to. 
 Most people use
 log4j, but, you could also use the native logging support in 
 JDK 1.4 or
 greater.
 
 I recommend configuring to use log4j. I also recommend taking 
 the time to
 read the short intro manual to log4j found here:
 
 http://tinyurl.com/3hlrq
 
 I recently posted the contents of a simple log4j 
 configuration file that
 does have an example of the necessary configuration to write 
 log messages
 both to the console and to file. Check the list archives for 
 a recent post
 on logging by me. I use this setup with Tomcat and Weblogic. The one
 configuration difference I found is that Weblogic doesn't 
 like relative file
 paths for location of log files and Tomcat handles that just fine.
 
 Good luck, Van
 
 Mike Van Riper
 Silicon Valley Struts User Group
 http://www.baychi.org/bof/struts/
 
 P.S. You can either remove the commons logging properties 
 file or explicitly
 configure it to use log4j. As long as you setup log4j properly in your
 runtime environment, the commons logging logic will use it by 
 default unless
 you have a commons logging properties file that explicitly specifies a
 different logger implementation.
 
  Thanks

 Instead, it seems the options tag isn't escaping the quotes at all

 the tag is just leaving the quotes inside the attribute value, which 
 outputs invalid HTML.

RE: newbie html-el question

2004-03-26 Thread Bender, James

Hi Wendy,

Thanks for responding!  Someone showed me a way to do what I needed to do,
but the way I'm approaching the entire problem may be kludged:

The user can click

Search Attributes | Search Components | Search Templates

I've provided html:link's like these respectively:

doPrepareSearch.do?searchType=attribute |
doPrepareSearch.do?searchType=component |
doPrepareSearch.do?searchType=template

so when they user lands on my form, I want to prepopulate the search type
based on what they chose.  If they submit a search with bad data, then I'd
want the SearchForm's (extends ActionForm) validate() method to send the
back to the search form, this time keeping their most recent entries to the
form field -- if they changed search type for example now it would be
different.  

I am new to Struts and may not be getting a key concept of it's Best
Practices usage.  Does it make sense what I've described?  Thanks again!,

RE: Populating a Listbox

I've come across this in a few difference manifestations and the best
course of action I've come across is dependant on the number of variations.

If you're only talking about a couple of hundred or less, use a javascript
array to populate the second dropdown on the fly.

If you're dealing with more than that [6,000 in my case :)] then you're
better
off using an onChange event handler on the first dropdown to submit the page
back to itself and use the action to generate the 2nd one from the database.
By default, I set the first dropdown to the 1st value and populate the 2nd

 I've provided html:link's like these respectively:

methods?

If you need to remember data, it's often easiest to put the Form bean
in session scope.  And you can associate one Form to several different
Actions if it makes sense for your application.  Some people will argue
against session scope, so you may want to consult the archives and see
if their reasons apply to your situation.

 so when they user lands on my form, I want to prepopulate the 
 search type based on what they chose.

That will just magically happen if you let Struts populate the form from
the query string parameter and then use the same Form bean when you
display your HTML form using the JSP.

Rather than confuse the issue, if you still need help, post your

 I think it must be a easy solution, using tile tags.
 

  The way I presented to you is the cleaner one :)

  If you define the put declaration in Tiles it will always be static (at
least for what I understood and read so far).

  If you want to make a tiles attribute dynamic, you must specify and
implement the tiles controller (described in the other mail).

  The not so clean solution is to use a tiles template with a c:import
url='${request.dynamicTilesAttribute}'/ inside.

 what do you think?

  I guess this is not a question of what I think... It is more of how it
works :)
  This could be a nice feature to Tiles though.

  One could implement a Tiles controller that made this possible. You just
needed to parse all of attributes for ${scope.Attribute} values = it would
be inneficient most of the attributes are static. If the put declaration had
a dynamic attribute (true/false) it would certainly much more
interesting/efficient. Maybe I will try and do this on my weekend ;)

I guess the first thing to consider is what you mean by come back to
the
previous page.
Do you just mean have the user redirected back to that url when they
have
finished playing with the search? or is it more complex. For example the
previous page is a form, and they are halfway through filling it in when
they need to search, and on completion need to take up where they left
off
with filling it in?
 
In the first case the easiest way (Im assuming there are multiple places
that send you to the search page) might be to have the link to the
search
page add a parameter to the url containing the name of an ActionForward
that
will take the user back to this page.
 
The search page can make note of this forward name, and when the user is
finished searching can look it up and return it as the forward from the
searchs action.

We are using struts 1.1.
 
We have some pages where user is going to have some search icon and if
user clicks on that then he will move to search page where he can search
the value and then come back to the previous page.
 
Can somebody please give some idea how to do it.

RE: Struts Validator and Select boxes

2004-03-26 Thread Janarthan Sathiamurthy

Hi Niall,

I am attaching the validation.xml and the jsp that i have used.
I have done the exact thing that you had specified earlier before posting
to the mailing list.
I am not clear where i am going wrong.

The Struts-config entry goes like - 
form-bean name=ocsReportForm 
type=org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorActionForm
form-property name=monthFrom type=java.lang.String /
form-property name=dayFrom type=java.lang.String /
form-property name=yearFrom type=java.lang.String /
form-property name=monthTo type=java.lang.String /
form-property name=dayTo type=java.lang.String /
form-property name=yearTo type=java.lang.String /
form-property name=actionType type=java.lang.String /
form-property name=pageNumber type=java.lang.String /
form-property name=numberOfRows type=java.lang.String /
form-property name=dateFrom type=java.lang.String /

Subject: Re: Struts Validator and Select boxes


Posting whats in your validation.xml for the form and the bit of your jsp
with your select fields would be helpfull.

If you take the fromDay as an example, you are using
field.getVarValue(fromDay)  - if you don't have a var defined in your
validation.xml for fromDay then that would cause the No Name Specified
error - same goes for fromYear, toMonth, toDay and toYear.

As for getting nulls, looks to me again that whats specified for the vars
in your validation.xml doesn't tie up with the names specified on your form.

From your code I would expect something like the following in your
validation.xml

form.
field 
varvar-namefromDay/var-name
  var-valueformFromDay/var-value
/var
varvar-namefromYear/var-name
  var-valueformFromYear/var-value
/var
varvar-nametoMonth/var-name
  var-valueformToMonth/var-value
/var
varvar-nametoDay/var-name
  var-valueformToDay/var-value
/var
varvar-nametoYear/var-name
  var-valueformToYear/var-value
/var
/field
/form

Do you have the properties in your form correct (i.e in this example
formFromDay, formFromYear, formToMonth, formToDay, formToYear).

Subject: Struts Validator and Select boxes


Hi,

I am using Struts validator.
One page of mine has dates displayed as MM  DD .
All the above 3 are displayed in seprate combo/select boxes.
I need to do some custom validations on these fields.
I wrote a custom class for the same
Looks like -
   public static boolean validateDates(Object bean,
ValidatorAction validatorAction,
Field field, ActionErrors errors,
HttpServletRequest request)
   {
  String actionType = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue(actionType)); // A hidden form field
  String fromMonth = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getProperty());
  String fromDay = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue(fromDay));
  String fromYear = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue(fromYear));
  String toMonth = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue(toMonth));
  String toDay = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue(toDay));
  String toYear = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue(toYear));

  System.out.println(actionType  + actionType);
  System.out.println(fromMonth  + fromMonth);
  System.out.println(fromDay  + fromDay);
  System.out.println(fromYear  + fromYear);
  System.out.println(toMonth  + toMonth);
  System.out.println(toDay  + toDay);
  System.out.println(toYear  + toYear);

  return true;
   }

O/P of the above code -
actionType searchPage
fromMonth 2
fromDay null
fromYear null
toMonth null
toDay null
toYear null

It also gives me No Name Specified error.
Point to note is that the all other fields other than 'actionType' are
select boxes. It gives a null for all the field types that are of
html:select.
Is this a known BUG or am i going wrong somewhere ?

RE: html:text -- value attribute won't take rtexprvalue

2004-03-26 Thread Wendy Smoak

 From: Bender, James [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
  I'm new to Struts and have searched without luck on this one:
  I have an html:text ... that I'm simply trying to put a runtime
  expression into, like
  % String rtexpr = bob; %
  html:text property=searchType value=%=rtexpr %
  And instead of interprestting the rtexprvalue bob, it 
 actually displays
  the string %=rtexpr % as the value on the screen.  If I 
 just type a
  string into the value field, like this:
  html:text property=searchType value=please

James, did you post this on struts-user yet?  Unless there's more to it
than I initially see, I think it belongs over there rather than the
developers list.
If I did it right, the reply-to is set there.

The usual way to do this is to populate the Form property in your Action
code, and then when you forward to the JSP containing the html:text
tag, Struts will render the HTML for the form element, including the
value.  Note that Struts automatically populates the form from the
request attributes when the user submits the form.  I'm not sure whether
you're trying to pre-populate, or to redisplay user input.

This assumes that you are forcing users to go through the Action (not
letting them go directly to the JSP).  More information will help us
here, I'm avoiding answering your actual question since you did say
you're new to Struts...

If you do find yourself needing to pull things out of the
request/session, the Struts-EL tags will be useful-- html-el:text
property=searchType value=${someVal} /

hi,
if you want to call th javascript validation you only have to call the 
function
validateLoginForm(form); if you don't call this function, client side 
validation is not called.
the case of server side validation is more complex, if you only want to 
call the client side validation and not the server side, you have to 
overwrite the method validate of the ActionForm, and do nothing on it, 
returning null.

Hi Tom,
for this you should check the different Realm implementations available,
see the docs on jakarta's tomcat website. There is a JDBC realm  that
sounds right for your purposes.


2) How are roles assigned to users or groups of users? Where are
these assignments stored? Basically roles should be assigned to
groups. Users will then join or leave groups with specific
privileges.


This is done at login by tomcat, but such mechanisms should be available
on all containers. The user name is stored in the session (although not
available to you by session.getAttribute(), only
request.getUserPrincipal() or getRemoteUser() ) plus the roles are
stored as an array of strings, e.g. user, admin, super, available again
via the request.isUserInRole() boolean method. Should be
container-independent.

3) What do I need to do in Struts to configure all this? I read
that since 1.1 I can define a role property in ActionMappings. How
and against what is that definition verified? Are there any
standard/basic mechanisms that can be extended ?


Struts checks against request.isUserInRole(). I don't think it's
standard or basic to extend this. However it's open-source, so you could
do whatever you wanted. The same applies to tomcat.


4) Is there any menu system available, that supports roles and can
be integrated in a Struts based application?


Have you checked out struts-menu? I think it's on source-forge, if not
check for the link on the struts website.


5) Are there any special considerations when moving from Struts 1.0
to 1.1? With other words, is the code backward compatible or will
my working code for 1.0 not work anymore on 1.1?


There's an upgrade doc on the struts website. It is /mostly/ backwards
compatible. I've heard of many people just dropping in the new struts
jar to their project and having no problems.

2004-03-25 Thread McCormack, Chris

It doesnt appear to be a case of missing classes etc

This exception seems pretty descriptive :
UnavailableException: Initializing application data source 
org.apache.struts.action.DATA_SOURCE

It looks like struts cannot physically get a connection to the specified source, so 
a. it doesnt exist 
b. it does exist but your application cannot get to the source (routing issue?)
c. there is a typo in the connection details. 
d. the connection details are setup incorrectly.

there are other factors etc but I would say this is an initial check list.

set-property property=password   value=**/
set-property property=user   value=**/
set-property property=url
value=jdbc:oracle:thin:@box:1521:db/

A minor difference I have noticed is the use of the '@' symbol to reference your box 
in the url parameter.
I have included one that I know works for one of my systems oracle connection.

It doesnt appear to be a case of missing classes etc

This exception seems pretty descriptive :
UnavailableException: Initializing application data source
org.apache.struts.action.DATA_SOURCE

It looks like struts cannot physically get a connection to the specified
source, so
a. it doesnt exist
b. it does exist but your application cannot get to the source (routing
issue?)
c. there is a typo in the connection details.
d. the connection details are setup incorrectly.

there are other factors etc but I would say this is an initial check list.

A minor difference I have noticed is the use of the '@' symbol to reference
your box in the url parameter.
I have included one that I know works for one of my systems oracle

Re: LookupDispatchAction default

2004-03-25 Thread Brian Sayatovic/AMIG

Well, I tried overriding unspecified and I still get the following (mind 
you that I didn't change the parameter name yet) when I hit 
/admin/list.do:

Error 500: Request[/admin/list] does not contain handler parameter 
named submit 

My unspecified method I simply overrode from DispatchAction to call my 
normal refresh list method:

protected ActionForward unspecified(
ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response
) {
return this.refreshList(mapping, form, request, response);
}

While the JavaDocs do imply this should work, when I looked in the Struts 
1.1 source, the execute method of LookupDispatchAction generates the erorr 
message I see as soon as request.getParameter(parameterName) returns null. 
 In fact, I can find no reference to 'unspecified' anywhere in 
LookupDispatchAction.

So I think there is a disconnect.  Maybe LookupDispatchAction is broken 
and should be fixed to also use 'unspecified', or maybe its JavaDocs 
should explicitly state that it does not utilize the 'unspecified' 
behavior of its parent class.  Or, maybe I missed something and didn't 
implement correctly?

Brian.

Hi Dima, list,  


[Dima wrote] 

we tried to use this (form.onsumbit=return f()) but encountered a 

problem: if JavaScript is disabled in browser the submiting goes on 

without confirmation dialogue and other stuff done by JS (wich in 
our 

case was more important). 


We solved this by setting input.type=button instead of submit  
and
submitting the form from JacaScript. But this caused another  
problem
(though less important): now user can not submit form  pressing
Enter being at text input, he must click the button. 


[end of quote] 


Personally, I would not consider this as a problem. I noticed that 
quite some users mistakenly press the Enter key, without yet  
wanting
to submit. 


So I tried your sollution, and it works fine, making the html:submit 
into a html:button, which calls a javascript function which calls 
submit.  

But since the official submit button has now disappeared, pressing 
enter results in the next button being processed by default, which  
is
the cancel button (which I would not want either). So by 
implementing
this, I cannot use html:cancel anymore.


What would be the best sollution for that? I  thought of putting a
javascript function goCancel() under a html:button, which 
does 
this: 

document.myform.action=somenextpage.do; 

document.myform.submit(); 


However I wonder if there are any smarter sollutions. Is there for
example some way to set IsCancelled to true from the jsp, so I can
just use the same actions as i do with submit?


thanks, Rinke

Re: DynaForm Type Conversion

2004-03-25 Thread Hubert Rabago

Take a look at BeanUtils.copyProperties.  By default, though, it doesn't
support conversion of dates, since it wouldn't know how you'd want your dates
formatted.  Check the archives of this list, there's been some discussion on
that.  Another archive you can check is that of the commons-user list.

If you're looking for further reduction in code, take a look at
http://www.rabago.net/struts/formdef which I'm working on.  It's alpha, but
an initial release is coming real soon (and I'm looking for folks to help me
develop/maintain it).

I believe the Struts dev team has plans to include functionality like this in
a future version of Struts.  For now, we either make do with BeanUtils, or do
the conversion ourselves, or through third party plugins like what I'm
working on.  If you feel strongly enough about it, you can rant some more on
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27321 though like I said,
the dev team has plans for supporting this functionality in a future version.
 How near or far into the future might be influenced by user requests.  :)

 I 
 apparently am supposed to have methods in form to do the type conversion

 Is there an Automatic way I can get a DynaBean to do this for me? Maybe a
 Get
 (prop, type) and get(prop, type, value) for the types youd find in
 java.lang?
 
 If not, there should be, because it limits what a DynaBean can do in a big 
 kinda way. Why have a type declaration in the DTD if youre only ever going
 to 
 want to use String and String[] ? :-)
 
 I mean, it's not like I couldnt add such a set of methods to my 
 DynaValidatorActionForm subclass, but what I'd want is for the framework to
 
 use them for me without me needing to know about it. (I dont ask for much,
 do 
 I???).
 
 If not, I'd like to continue to use my Subclassed DynaValidatorActionForm 
 anyway, but I am wondering if it is going to be self-defeating to declare 
 custom getters and setters for properties that are declared in struts
 config? 
 Should I just use it as a non-dyna form?
 
 Maybe I've been up too late (okay, I have) but it's the little things like

 saving me from it.

This is a standard tag nesting error.  You can't put tags inside of tag

   logic:iterate id=dezeSchaal name=%=Risc.BEREKENING%
 property=profielSchalen /

something similar to what you are, I include the standard name and
property
attributes as used by bean write.  Doing this, your first tag would become

risc:staaf name=dezeSchaal property=schaalNummer /

And in the tag code I can do something like this: 

String schaal_nummer = (String) TagUtils.getRealValueFromBean(
name, property, null, pageContext);

Voila, no nested tags.  Plus it's very easy to read in the JSP.

public ActionForward execute(

   HttpServletResponse response)
   throws Exception {
   // Identify the request parameter containing the method name

   if (name == null) {

It looks for the parameter's value and throws if the name is null so it 
never gets a chance to get to unspecified in Dispatch action.

Unfortunately LookupDispatchAction checks for the parameter

be easy enough to modify it and then override dispatchActions 
unspecified().
   

What version?  I think unspecified works right at least since 1.2.0,
probably before that.
But you can use the fact that execute is always called first, so
override execute and check for the parameter.  If it's there, just call
super.execute() and things will work, if it's not there, look
up/construct an ActionForward and return that.
Looking at some old code, that's what I used to do... The newer project
doesn't have an execute method and it works fine when the parameter for
a LookupDispatchAction is not in the request.

Re: LookupDispatchAction default

2004-03-25 Thread Brian Sayatovic/AMIG

That's exactly my point.

If there is no submit=xxx parameter/value to the action, then it throws 
a NullPointerException.  So my action works like this:

/admin/list.do?submit=Refresh

But not like this:

/admin/list.do

In the second case, there is no submit parameter.  For now, anything I 
want to go to the list for the firs titme, I have it going to the first 
representation.  But what I really want is for it to have a default 
behavior when no submit value is present so I can use the second form of 
the URL instead.  That was why I originally posted.  The initial wave of 
replies suggested I could use 'unspecified', but that didn't work.

So, is the answer:

(a) I should never use the second form because it is evil
(b) I could use the second form but its broken in LookupDispatchAction
(c) something else?

Regards,
Brian.

Look at the sourc for LookupDispatchAction snippet below:
 public ActionForward execute(
ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception {

// Identify the request parameter containing the method name
String parameter = mapping.getParameter();
if (parameter == null) {
String message = messages.getMessage(dispatch.handler, 
mapping.getPath());
throw new ServletException(message);
}

// Identify the string to lookup
String name = request.getParameter(parameter);
if (name == null) {
String message =
messages.getMessage(dispatch.parameter, 
mapping.getPath(), parameter);
throw new ServletException(message);
}

It looks for the parameter's value and throws if the name is null so it 
never gets a chance to get to unspecified in Dispatch action.

Re: html:options where values have embedded quotes

2004-03-25 Thread Joe Germuska

We have some customer-supplied selection options that have double
quotes in their values, and Struts 1.1 isn't seeming to handle this
correctly.

Best I can tell from the HTML spec, these should be placed on the
page as quot; , which will submit them as %22 , which *should* be
seen on the server side as double quotes again, right? And Struts
should be able to match that to an existing entry so it can
properly set the selected value.

Instead, it seems the options tag isn't escaping the quotes at
all (changing them to quot;) and that if we manually do it
ourselves, the selected item still isn't being set when the page
is reloaded. IIRC, the tag is just leaving the quotes inside the
attribute value, which outputs invalid HTML.

Am I missing something? Is there a better way to do this? Thanks.
Sounds like a bug to me. You can see from the code
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-struts/src/share/org/apache/struts/taglib/html/OptionsTag.java?view=markup
that no manipulation is being done to content being rendered between
attribute quote-delimiters.

Please file a bug at http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/

Joe

PS it appears that other tags have the same problem; at least, I
initially looked at OptionTag instead of OptionsTag, and it
definitely needs the same fix:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-struts/src/share/org/apache/struts/taglib/html/OptionTag.java?view=markup

That sounds like a bug to me.  I'm thinking that destroy methods

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/  Patches are always appreciated.

3) Don't you think that something like that could be useful? I mean, if
answer to 1) is NO,
wouldn't be useful to have a configuration reloader with struts?
This is something people have been requesting for a long time, as a 
search of the mailing list archives would reveal.  I don't recall the 
details, but I seem to remember some arguments as to why this wasn't 
being done.  Like I said, I don't recall, so I don't know if someone 
thought it was impossible, a bad idea, or just something they weren't 
going to sit down and do -- but it's probably worth a little research 
before going too far.

There is some discussion on struts-dev right now about changes 
(extensions) to the way that struts config files are loaded.  Maybe 
now would be a good time to also weigh in on how they could be 
*reloaded*.

RE: Automatically detecting struts-config changes and reload app.


I used your code ( Thanks ) and I finally got it to work with a Filter. We
have a login filter in our app. So I added a method which runs only in
development mode. 

* Set the DEVELOPMENT_MODE system property during development.
* Add the WEB-INF directory to the classpath. ( does Tomcat include this in
the classpath ? )
* Call this method from the doFilter() method in your filter.

  private long lastModified = 0;
  private void reloadConfig(HttpServletRequest request) {
  if ( System.getProperty(DEVELOPMENT_MODE) != null ) {
try {
URL url = LoginFilter.class.getResource(/struts-config.xml);
if ( url == null )
return;
File f = new File(url.getFile());
if ( f.lastModified() != lastModified ) {
ActionServlet as = ( (ActionServlet)
request.getSession().getServletContext().getAttribute(
Globals.ACTION_SERVLET_KEY));
as.destroy();
 
request.getSession().getServletContext().removeAttribute(Globals.REQUEST_PRO
CESSOR_KEY);
as.init();
System.out.println(Reload ok.);
}
lastModified = f.lastModified();
}
catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
  }
  }
}

Subject: R: Automatically detecting struts-config changes and reload app.

I wrote the following on 01/23/2004 on the mailing list, but nobody cared...





I wrote a servlet to trigger off a reload of the struts-config.xml.

The servlet is:

protected void doGet(..) {

ActionServlet as =
((ActionServlet)request.getSession().getServletContext().getAttribute(Global
s.ACTION_SERVLET_KEY));
as.destroy();

request.getSession().getServletContext().removeAttribute(Globals.REQUEST_PRO
CESSOR_KEY);
as.init();

new PrintStream(response.getOutputStream()).println(Reload
ok.);
}


Now my questions...

1) Is there another way to trigger off a reload without using the Tomcat's
reload
function (which takes a very long time and leaves db connections open?)

2) I had to call removeAttribute(Globals.REQUEST_PROCESSOR_KEY) because the
destroy method
of the ActionServlet doesn't do it. Here is the code (from
ActionServlet.destroyModules()):

[..]
if (value instanceof ModuleConfig) {
ModuleConfig config = (ModuleConfig) value;
getRequestProcessor(config).destroy();

getServletContext().removeAttribute(name);

I think there should be something like

getServletContext().removeAttribute(Globals.REQUEST_PROCESSOR_KEY +
config.getPrefix());

If I don't remove the attribute following requests will not work (because of
the code
in ActionServlet.getRequestProcessor)

Is this a bug?


3) Don't you think that something like that could be useful? I mean, if
answer to 1) is NO,

4) Calling actionServlet.destroy() and actionServlet.init() is enough to

What version of Struts are you using?  I suspect you're on 1.1 or
something older than a nightly build.  The javadocs on the Struts site
go with the nightly builds.

The unspecified method is in DispatchAction, and is inherited by
LookupDispatchAction, so you won't find it in the LDA source code.  It's
actually the protected 'dispatchMethod' code that handles the null:
// Make sure we have a valid method name to call.
// This may be null if the user hacks the query string.
if (name == null) {
return this.unspecified(mapping, form, request, response);
}

If unspecified does not work for a missing parameter in your version of
struts, (it does in 1.2.0 and probably somewhat before that,) either
move to a newer version of Struts, or override 'execute' to provide
default behavior.  Check for the presence of the request parameter, if
it exists, call super.execute(), if not, do your default behavior,
probably by calling one of the methods in your LDA.

The reason you're getting conflicting answers is that some of us are
using new builds where unspecified works fine, and some are on other,
older versions.  The nightly builds are very stable, I recommend them
and have no problems using them in production.

Hi Tom,
for this you should check the different Realm implementations available,
see the docs on jakarta's tomcat website. There is a JDBC realm  that
sounds right for your purposes.


2) How are roles assigned to users or groups of users? Where are
these assignments stored? Basically roles should be assigned to
groups. Users will then join or leave groups with specific
privileges.



This is done at login by tomcat, but such mechanisms should be available
on all containers. The user name is stored in the session (although not
available to you by session.getAttribute(), only
request.getUserPrincipal() or getRemoteUser() ) plus the roles are
stored as an array of strings, e.g. user, admin, super, available again
via the request.isUserInRole() boolean method. Should be
container-independent.

3) What do I need to do in Struts to configure all this? I read
that since 1.1 I can define a role property in ActionMappings. How
and against what is that definition verified? Are there any
standard/basic mechanisms that can be extended ?



Struts checks against request.isUserInRole(). I don't think it's
standard or basic to extend this. However it's open-source, so you could
do whatever you wanted. The same applies to tomcat.


4) Is there any menu system available, that supports roles and can
be integrated in a Struts based application?



Have you checked out struts-menu? I think it's on source-forge, if not
check for the link on the struts website.


5) Are there any special considerations when moving from Struts 1.0
to 1.1? With other words, is the code backward compatible or will
my working code for 1.0 not work anymore on 1.1?



There's an upgrade doc on the struts website. It is /mostly/ backwards
compatible. I've heard of many people just dropping in the new struts
jar to their project and having no problems.

The parseModuleConfigFile method in ActionServlet ( called by init() ) seems

I will see if that can be reproduced.

Re: Exception handling in struts

2004-03-25 Thread Nick Wesselman

Didn't someone already answer this for you? Maybe we need to be more 
explicit. Try this:

global-exceptions

exception

key=uncaught_exception 

type=java.lang.Exception 

path=/jsp/error.jsp 

handler=com.graysail.pgbadmecs.exceptions.ExceptionCatcher 

scope=request/

/global-exceptions

Exception needs to be upper case. If your ExceptionCatcher really is 
called exceptioncatcher (all lower case), then keep your handler line 
the same.

my exception catcher extends GlobalExceptionHandler and bears an execute() method.  Well, when an error of type exception goes off, the catcher is never called to it?  What ingredient am I missing?

I used your code ( Thanks ) and I finally got it to work with a Filter. We
have a login filter in our app. So I added a method which runs only in
development mode. 

* Set the DEVELOPMENT_MODE system property during development.
* Add the WEB-INF directory to the classpath. ( does Tomcat include this in
the classpath ? )
* Call this method from the doFilter() method in your filter.

  private long lastModified = 0;
  private void reloadConfig(HttpServletRequest request) {
  if ( System.getProperty(DEVELOPMENT_MODE) != null ) {
try {
URL url = LoginFilter.class.getResource(/struts-config.xml);

Subject: R: Automatically detecting struts-config changes and reload app.

I wrote the following on 01/23/2004 on the mailing list, but nobody cared...





I wrote a servlet to trigger off a reload of the struts-config.xml.

The servlet is:

protected void doGet(..) {

ActionServlet as =
((ActionServlet)request.getSession().getServletContext().getAttribute(Global
s.ACTION_SERVLET_KEY));
as.destroy();

request.getSession().getServletContext().removeAttribute(Globals.REQUEST_PRO
CESSOR_KEY);
as.init();

new PrintStream(response.getOutputStream()).println(Reload
ok.);
}


Now my questions...

1) Is there another way to trigger off a reload without using the Tomcat's
reload
function (which takes a very long time and leaves db connections open?)

2) I had to call removeAttribute(Globals.REQUEST_PROCESSOR_KEY) because the
destroy method
of the ActionServlet doesn't do it. Here is the code (from
ActionServlet.destroyModules()):

[..]
if (value instanceof ModuleConfig) {
ModuleConfig config = (ModuleConfig) value;
getRequestProcessor(config).destroy();

getServletContext().removeAttribute(name);

I think there should be something like

getServletContext().removeAttribute(Globals.REQUEST_PROCESSOR_KEY +
config.getPrefix());

If I don't remove the attribute following requests will not work (because of
the code
in ActionServlet.getRequestProcessor)

Is this a bug?


3) Don't you think that something like that could be useful? I mean, if
answer to 1) is NO,
wouldn't be useful to have a configuration reloader with struts?

4) Calling actionServlet.destroy() and actionServlet.init() is enough to
re-load the whole
struts-config.xml?

RE: html inside an action

2004-03-25 Thread Qureshi, Affan

So why cant you use simple JSTL or struts-EL tags to do it? Ideally you shouldn't be 
doing any client-side stuff in your Actions. 

A cleaner approach would be to use Custom Tags to have the HTML generation code and 
you can call them from your JSPs. (Remember that JSPs are not sent to the browser, it 
is the code they generate that is sent to the client browser). 

Or maybe I dont understand your requirements.

 Hi all,
   I was wondering if anyone of you have a solution
 For this dilemma.
 I have a collectin of product DTOs to show on my jsp. One of 
 DTO's property is, let's say, the type, which is listed in number.
 (let's say, 10 or 20).
 ON the DTO I will have the value 10,20 ecc but on the jsp I have to
 display
 The corresponding string (let's say, HouseProduct or Car or something
 else) which is listed in application.resources.
 
 I am looping thru the collection using logic:iterate, and
 as I have found out myself, following code does not work
 
 bean:message key='prompt.productType.bean:write name=product
 property=productType'/
 
 
 basically in app.resources I will have
 prompt.productType.10=HouseProduct
 prompt.productType.20=Car
 
 etc..
 
 above, I am outputting the message   prompt.productType.(productType)
 
 how can I solve my dilemma, keeping in mind that I am using also
 logic:iterate to loop thru the collection?
 
 With best regards

 If I don't remove the attribute following requests will not work (because of
 the code
 in ActionServlet.getRequestProcessor)
 
 Is this a bug?
 
 
 3) Don't you think that something like that could be useful? I mean, if
 answer to 1) is NO,
 wouldn't be useful to have a configuration reloader with struts?
 
 4) Calling actionServlet.destroy() and actionServlet.init() is enough to
 re-load the whole
 struts-config.xml?
