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: 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).

RE: Struts Validator and Select boxes
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 /
form-property name=dateTo type=java.lang.String /

At the moment, the validation is very much tied to the presentation layer and I want to decouple it. This is really the last obstacle standing in the way of our migration to a pure java solution using Struts.. The use of the validator would simplify our solution a great deal and I will also be looking into the possibility of our clients creating their own validation configuration files (using a web interface of some sort) any help or advice would be appreciated.

Re: Map-backed Forms and Struts Validator
Hi Derek, from the ppt doc, it looks like validWhen is using a syntax that is designed for checking indexed properties. I haven't used it though. I assume that it would handle nested beans as well, in accordance with the rest of the action form functionality. But again, I don't know. Also it says you can't use validWhen until you upgrade to struts 1.2 or a nightly build. I admit, it doesn't look hopeful. Have you tried a simple test case using the syntax like in the ppt doc?

I`ve been looking some more into the case and I think its becoming more of
a
design matter...
I dont know if I am using struts the right way or not.
Problem is that I am building business logic into my forms.. Is this good
or
not?
logic :if you are a business customer (based on a session bean)...
html:text ask for his VAT number
/logic
Should I make 2 different pages or use tiles or something completely else?
problem is that on the first page I ask 5 questions to the customer. Based
on their choices the second form is built up. all business related
stuff...
I tried to write a validator like requiredif but based on beans from
somewhere in your scope
struts logic can work on beans from your session or request scope because
it
has streight access to the pagecontext
I dont find a way to really access my pageContext in the validator.
but do you want your validator actually reading from your request scope or
session scope?
tnx for your time :)

Usually when I have this situation I just put in an else (or a
logic:notEqual in your case) which prints out the form field as hidden
with
some bogus data in it. That bogus data will be enough to make the
validation pass of course.

Hello,
I am making a registration procedure that works with some logic
based
on
the
choices the customer makes on a previous page
logic:equal name=LogonForm property=customertype
scope=session
value=business
span class=labellabelbean:message
key=text.data.label.bill_vat_number//label/span
html:text property=bill_vat_nr styleId=bill_vat_nr /
/logic:equal
Problem description :
When a customer is of customertype 'business' the field
bill_vat_nr
is
showed on the page and is required when a customer is not of
customertype
'business' the field bill_vat_nr is not showed on the page and
theirfor
is
not required
I tried to use a standard struts validator implementation
field property=bill_vat_nr depends=required
arg0 key=text.data.label.bill_vat_number/
arg1 key=${dummy}/
/field
I first thought about using the requiredif implementation. Problem
is
that
I
only get it to work with elements from the same form.
The result :
The bill_vat_nr is required even if it has been left out of the
form
by
struts logic
My question :
Is their a way to combine struts logic and the validator
framework?
Do
I
have to write a custom validator that does some kind of
introspection
on
the
jsp? Or are their validators that are used for that purpose? What
would
be
the best solution to tackle this problem?
Tnx in advance

jsp? Or are their validators that are used for that purpose? What
would
be
the best solution to tackle this problem?

RE: Struts Validator overriding cache-control?
Just to follow up with a few questions, based on the following statement: It is my assumption in this scenario that the browser (IE) has cached the URL and data posted to said URL, thus it is able to redisplay the page with the data the user has entered. 1. Is this a correct assumption? 2. If yes, is this the expected behaviour of a browser for pages that are marked as do not cache? 3. If yes, is there any known mechanism to force the browser to not cache the POST data?

RE: Struts Validator overriding cache-control?
Thanks. I was confused by the fact that the behaviour is different if the page is submitted without error. In the without-error scenario, the re-post as the result of the refresh does not contain the form values that would logically be contained in the with-error scenario. Now, I just need to work myself out of the corner I am in - I need to prevent the refresh from redisplaying this data which I think is darn near imposibble.

Struts Validator with special characters
Hello, I found a problem with the struts validator. It seems that it is not possible to use special characters (like german Umlaute) in an regular expression.. I tried this: constant constant-namename/constant-name constant-value^[\-\'\`\´\.\ a-zäöüßáéíúóàèìùòâêîôûñA-ZÄÖÜÁÉÍÓÚÀÈÌÒÙÑ]+$/constant-value /constant Hans Mueller evaluates, Hans Müller doesn't. The RegExp is simple and works with an external tester. Even if I use the simpler regexp ^[a-züA-Z]+$ Hans Müller does not evaluate. Is this some sort of encoding problem? I thought, http is clearly designed for 8bit-use. Can anybody explain this? Did I something wrong or is this a struts-bug?

Struts Validator question
All,
I posted this a few hours ago on the jakarta-commons list and have not come
up with a solution yet. I decided to commit the sin of x-posting it here
since this may very well be a struts issue.
I hope this is not a newbie question. I have RTFM several times. I suspect
I must be missing something simple. I have installed Tomcat 4.1.29 and
Struts 1.1 with the Validator included. I have configured my installation
as follows
struts-config.xml:
form-bean name=orgForm
type=com.hp.ipg.ne.pgpm.forms.orgForm/
.
.
.
!-- Insert a new Org into the database --
action path=/org_insert
name=orgForm
type=com.hp.ipg.ne.pgpm.actions.orgInsertAction
scope=request
validate=true
input=org_edit.jsp
forward name=show_list path=/org_list.do /
forward name=error path=/GeneralError.do /
/action
.
.
.
message-resources parameter=com.hp.ipg.ne.pgpm.application/
.
.
.
plug-in className=org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn
set-property property=pathnames value=/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,
/WEB-INF/validation.xml/
/plug-in
Validation.xml:
form-validation
formset
form name=orgForm
field property=orgCode
depends=required
arg0 key=orgForm.OrgCode/
/field
/form
/formset
/form-validation
Application:properties:
errors.required={0} is required.
In the org_edit.jsp file contains the following code snippet:
logic:messagesPresent
bean:message key=errors.header/
ul
html:messages id=error
libean:write name=error//li
/html:messages
/ulhr
/logic:messagesPresent
I have stepped through the execution several times and see the validator
being activated. I even see the failed validation (empty field). However,
after the failed validation, it seems validator is unable to construct a
proper forward to send me back to the JSP page where the error was entered
(or not entered in this case). I am simply forwarded to a nearly blank page
with minimal html and body tags.
I have tried changing the input parameter to point at a global local
forward as well as an Action forward. None of them succeed. However, when
pointed at a forward the browser does display a message indicating that the
server was unable to look up a mapping for an action named /misc. The
characters misc do not appear anywhere in my struts-config.xml file. I am
guessing this must be some kind of default behavior.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Two questions immediately come to mind from what you documented:
1. Does com.hp.ipg.ne.pgpm.forms.orgForm extend
org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorForm
or
org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorActionForm
2. The 'input=org_edit.jsp is context sensitive. Can you
reach org_edit.jsp from the same level as your /org_insert.do
action?
*** This sounds like the problem since you wrote you're seeing a
blank html page, as if it cannot find the JSP page.

RE: Struts Validator question
Answer to Question 1:
public final class orgForm extends ValidatorForm
Answer to Question 2:
I have double checked the case and spelling of the file name. Both the
action and org_edit.jsp can be reached in the same directory. I assume the
question you are posing has to do with the URL used to access either. Both
can be reached in the http://localhost:8080/app_root directory.
I have looked at this too long so I may not be seeing something but I did go
through the exercise validating each of the configuration items against a
couple of struts books and the Validator document on the Struts site. Its
late and I know I must be staring at the issue and just not realizing it.

Struts Validator + Cross Locale Validations.
Using Struts validator how can I do cross locale validations? Meaning, I want the validation to be done on one locale, but the error message should be from other locale. Example, The validation should be according to de-DE locale, but the error message should be of en-CA Thanks in Advance, Vara Prasad - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

to do in order to match the parameter[i].orderNumber property name),
then I get an exception when validation happens.

Using DispatchAction class with Struts Validator
Got a problem thats been bugging me for a while: I'm using an action class that extends DispatchAction class. The methods in this class use the same ActionForm class (DynaValidatorActionForm). However, the validation requirments for each method in the dispatch class are different. I understand that if I use the DynaValidatorActionForm, I can map the action URI to the name property in the validation.xml file. Is it possible to map the exact method in my dispacth to the validation.xml file? For example, if my DispatchAction class URI path mapping is: /dispatch, and I have a method named update1 and update2 within the dispatch class, can I do this in my validation.xml file?: formset form name=/dispatch.do.update1 ..do special validation here /form form name=/dispatch.do.update2 ..do special validation here /form /formset Many thanks for your help! -Burhan -- FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE * http://www.freebsd.org 5:40PM up 127 days, 2:09, 11 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Using DispatchAction class with Struts Validator
Indeed, each dispatch method corresponds to a different jsp page. However, the page attribute is designed for building up an ActionForm from many different pages in wizard like way. I'm looking only to perform a specific type of validation on a subset of my ActionForm for each dispatch method. The only other solution I know of is to break up my DispatchAction to seperate Actions and use seprate ActionForms for each, not something I want to do unless absolutely necessary! -Burhan Mike Jasnowski wrote: Do you have corresponding pages for each method?

Re: Struts Validator and Hidden Field
Octavia, I bit of a guess on my part, but it sounds like you want to use the requiredif validator. This allows a particular field to be required (or not) based on other fields. The fact that this might be a hidden field should be, as pointed out by others, transparent to the validator. However, also pointed out is the most troubling question: if it is on a hidden field and your validation fails, what can your users possibly ever do to correct the situation? Octavia Yung wrote: Thanks for the responses, David and Wendy. In order to determine if a particular form field is required, I need to determine the property of another field.

As far as I was aware validating a hidden field is the exact same as validating any other field.. just make sure the name of the field in your html:hidden corresponds to a setter method in your form.

Re: Struts Validator mask
I'm not familiar with the use of double quotes in regexes. However, you
seem to have the right idea. Instead of quotes, try using \\ in place
of each \ you want to match. E.g.:
^\\(\\[A-Za-z0-0_-]+)+\\?$
Quick explanation
\\ - Must start with a single backslash
(\\[A-Za-z0-0_-]+) - A pattern representing a backslash followed by one
or more valid letters/numbers/symbols. If - is the last character in a
[ ] block, it loses its special meaning and just matches -.
The pattern is wrapped in () and specified to occur 1 or more times with
+.
Finally, there's a trailing \\? saying the path may optionally end with
\. Don't know if you want that or not.
NOTE: this pattern won't allow \\. Don't know if that matters.
K.C.

Commons Validator provides some basic functionality that lets you build pluggable validations. However, it doesn't provide any pluggable validations out of the box. Also, you'll need to handle resource bundles and messaging yourself. Commons Validator exposes message keys and bundle names but you need to do the lookup to get the actual message text.

RE: Struts Validator
Hi Steve, Have you looked at the struts-validator sample app? The 'types' examples show most of the basic validations. If you've already looked at it, is there anything that would make it easier to understand? No I had not heard about the sample app. I looked again on the main Struts page and in the validator section there are 3 resources: 1) A validating Two fields match by matt raible (by the way - IMHO this method /or a different implementation which does the same thing, would be VERY helpful to be a part of the main validator package as it is such a common requirement) 2)DynaForms and the Validator - a PDF document 3) Validating user input - a PDF document Am I missing the link? Is it part of the struts bundle? I think a link from the main validator page would be helpful as this is where I went to initially find out how to use the validator. requiredif is in 1.1.

If my search was setup correctly, I only saw 5 open bugs against Validator (amazingly low number given that it is supposed to be crap) and they were all categorized as enhancement requests. I suspect that not too much has changed since the version that shipped with Struts 1.1. So, you may not want to push out a new release at this time. However, it is unfortunate that the ability to modularize development of larger apps with multiple struts-config files and multiple application resource files is pretty much there in the Struts 1.1 release except for mutliple resource files support in Validator. Since it looks like the support for bundle attributes was added at least at the arg level, a dot release now of just the commons-validator would make it possible to use multiple resource files to some degree with the Validator in a Struts 1.1 webapp. I'm not looking for a fixed date commitment. I realize it is all volunteer efforts on this stuff that can't be held to any particular schedule. I'll totally understand if there are no plans to move towards a dot release of Validator anytime soon, but, I am curious as to whether plans to move towards a dot release are imminent or not even on the horizon. -Van Mike Van Riper mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.baychi.org/bof/struts -Original Message- From: Steve Raeburn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 8:41 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Struts Validator-validwhen It's not in Struts 1.1 but it's available in the nightly build and will be in the next release.

It's an excellent package that will benefit even more when people use it and reports bugs or vote for existing ones or even submit patches in bugzilla :O I sense an opportunity to share something I got from the Ant mailing list recently (struts gurus feel free to slap me down if the same sort of thing doesn't apply to struts) : (1) open an enhancement request in bugzilla and attach your patch. If you just send it to the list it could get lost over time. (2) send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] explaining why you think the enhancement is worth it. For us, it is [EMAIL PROTECTED] of course. (3) send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that the people who share your opinion can go to the enhancement request and vote for it. Lobbying on [EMAIL PROTECTED] is perfectly legitimate, too :-). (4) be persistent. It is often the case that committers have a lot of time for Ant development in one week and almost none in the next. This could mean you'll need to redo (2). Exactly the same overall advice applies here, with only one wrinkle -- Struts relies on a lot of functionality imported from the Jakarta Commons libraries (Validator being one of them), so it might end up being the case that the enhancement request or bug report should really be filed there instead of against Struts. I wouldn't worry overmuch about getting it in the right place, though -- there's lots of committers that are common to both, and will help recategorize bug reports and enhancement requests as needed. One additonal tweak we've been using in Struts is that a bug report or enhancement request that has a patch included (as an enhancement) should have PatchAvailable added in the Keywords field, to make it easier for committers to find them.

Struts Validator Javascript
Working with the validator I found that the client-side javascript code automatically generated by the validator tag does not handle correctly or at all fields that are radio group , checkbox group or any other type of group that exist. I have posted few times on that but no response. After that I went and fixed the javascript code to do it correctly in the validateRequired() for instance.

because user-username is the name of one of my properties (fields) on

Hi Panchasheel,
I am working with map backed action forms and the way to work with
validation in this case is as follows (a piece of my validation.xml):
(on my ActionForm there are getProperty and setProperty interfacing the
actual map - as in your case I guess it is 'getVolume() and
setVolume()).
!-- username --
field property=property(user-username)
depends=required, mask
msg name=mask
key=logon.username.maskMsg/
arg0 key=logon.username/
var
var-namemask/var-name
var-value${username}/var-value
/var
/field
Hope this helps,

Subject: Using Struts Validator on Map-backed ActionForms
Hi,
I am trying to use the Struts Validator to generate Javascript
validation on
a Map-backed action form, but I keep getting type is null or not an
object
javascript error (I am using Struts 1.1). Non map-backed properties on
the
form work fine.
In the JSP I am creating text boxes using:
html:text style=WIDTH: 75px; text-align: right
property='%=volume(+act.getActivityID()+)%'
value='%=+scenAct.getActivityVolume()%'/
and have this method on the action form to get it:
public void setVolume(String key, Object value) {
volumes.put(key, value);
}
In the validation.xml I have tried:
field property=volume()
depends=required
arg0 key=/
/field
and:
field property=volume()
depends=required
arg0 key=/
/field
but both result in the error.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Charles.

Struts Validator
Has anyone had any problems getting the Struts Validator to work? I have a small sample app that works OK but cannot get my main app to work! As far as I can see I have done everything the same as in the sample one. I have noticed that when the sample app that works starts up I get four messages from the ValidatorPlugin the first pair mentions the validation.xml and the validator-rules.xml then later it says ValidatorPlugin initResources then the previous xml messages. With the real app that doesn't work I don't get these second initResources messages. I am not sure if this is significant or not, does anyone have any ideas?

RE: Struts Validator
+1 - Validator works. I started using it wy back in the pre-RC1 days. Everytime that Validator hasn't worked for me, I've found that it was due to a screw up on my part (usually something in the validation.xml file). Except for rare occasions, I haven't had to write a customized validate method. When I do have to, I try to extend Validator so I can continue to use the tool. +1 - Validator is not perfect. While I haven't found any major bugs (at least ones that haven't already been reported), Validator does have its quirks - you have got to get the validation.xml file right or else it just flat won't work. Also, since Validator relies on your ApplicationResources.properties file for its error messages, it may appear that Validator is not working, when in reality, it just can't find the message to return to the client. +1,000,000 - There is only Us. If not, then Micro$oft would be the only choice for doing web development, and I'd have to find another career :-) Mark - I'll offer this again. I'll be more than happy to look over your forms, struts-config.xml, validator-rules.xml, validation.xml, and properties files and see if I can figure out why you can't get Validator working.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 August 2003 16:41 To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Struts Validator In the validation.xml file I believe that the validator takes form name=StringWithoutForwardSlash as validate based on form name and form name=/stringWithForwardSlash as validate based on the action name. Meaning that if the validator sees a formbean with the first examples name it does validation and then if it sees an action with same name as the second example it will do validation on the associated form. Anyway, in your example you have your action name with not slash so you would have to have either: form name=/ValidationType...OR form name=ValidationTypeForm You also need to keep in mind that you need to extend ValidationTypeForm must extend ValidatorActionForm to use the action validation and ValidatorForm to use the form validation. -Original Message- From: Stephen Bennett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 11:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Struts Validator Has anyone had any problems getting the Struts Validator to work?

Validator is crap; don't waste your time. Don't mind Mark, he's perpetually waking up on the wrong side of the bed.

I think Rob Leland is planning on getting a 1.1 release out soon. David So, you may not want to push out a new release at this time. However, it is unfortunate that the ability to modularize development of larger apps with multiple struts-config files and multiple application resource files is pretty much there in the Struts 1.1 release except for mutliple resource files support in Validator. Since it looks like the support for bundle attributes was added at least at the arg level, a dot release now of just the commons-validator would make it possible to use multiple resource files to some degree with the Validator in a Struts 1.1 webapp. I'm not looking for a fixed date commitment. I realize it is all volunteer efforts on this stuff that can't be held to any particular schedule. I'll totally understand if there are no plans to move towards a dot release of Validator anytime soon, but, I am curious as to whether plans to move towards a dot release are imminent or not even on the horizon. -Van Mike Van Riper mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.baychi.org/bof/struts -Original Message- From: Steve Raeburn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 8:41 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Struts Validator-validwhen It's not in Struts 1.1 but it's available in the nightly build and will be in the next release.

RE: Struts Validator for map backed beans
Hi Yansheng
The one you suggested is for fields that are indexed and like codeId[0],
codeId[1], codeId[2]...codeId[n].
For map-backed beans it would be value(codeId0), value(codeId1),
value(codeId2)value(codeIdn)
in which it doesn't work, is there any other solution for map-backed beans
validator with multiple
input fields in an array...

On the Jsp I have value(codeId0)...value(codeIdn) the last char n is the

to validate this , instead of entering n entries in the validation.xml
I wanted it to do it with just one entry value(codeId).
Does anyone know , if such validation exists, if yes please let me know.

I think as long as you know what it does and doesn't do, there's every reason to have confidence in it. It's an excellent package that will benefit even more when people use it and reports bugs or vote for existing ones or even submit patches in bugzilla :O I sense an opportunity to share something I got from the Ant mailing list recently (struts gurus feel free to slap me down if the same sort of thing doesn't apply to struts) : Can I also suggest: (0) make *sure* it's a bug before you post a bug report. If you don't *know* that what you're experiencing is a *Struts* bug then the correct place to explore the problem is on the struts-user list. If what you're asking for is really an enhancement then mark it as such in Bugzilla. (1) open an enhancement request in bugzilla and attach your patch. If you just send it to the list it could get lost over time. (2) send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] explaining why you think the enhancement is worth it. Bugzilla reports get sent to the dev list so you don't need to duplicate that. Committers are also pretty active on the user list ;-) (3) send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that the people who share your opinion can go to the enhancement request and vote for it. (4) be persistent. It is often the case that committers have a lot of time for Ant development in one week and almost none in the next. This could mean you'll need to redo (2). I would replace (4) with be patient. If you've opened a Bugzilla report then it *will* get reviewed. But time is limited and certain issues will be dealt with more quickly. Straight-forward items and serious items tend to get closed more quickly, with those falling into the not serious, but not trival, taking a little longer. Keep investigating the problem. If you can come up with new information or a patch, then that will serve as a much more useful reminder than just repeating yourself.
