Presenting one application in another
Hi, I am planning to build an web application that will manage a number of servers on a network using RMI. Each of these servers today has a local web interface that uses Struts, the RMI functionality is already in place and functional. What i would like to do is move the web interfaces to the central position and show the correct interface for each server depending on the users choice. The problem is that i need to be able to add new types and versions of the interfaces without having to redeploy since the application will be distibuted to a number of customers. I am hoping to be able to use a separate web app for each type/version and presenting it in a tile in the central application. Simply having the different interfaces as modules or something similar. Is it possible to show one web app in a tile of another or am i heading down a dead end using this aproach? And in that case, any other suggestions? thank you in advance, /Björn Höglund _ Nyhet!

[To sum it up] Re: Confused
Hello Pierre,
Struts is just too big a project to stay among its siblings under the
Jakarta general project, which is why it is on its own.
I have just installed Tomcat 5 for Java WSDP. Do I need this version to
make Struts development or can I use the regular 5.5 version too? I
have installed both.
If you use JBoss, there is an embedded version of Tomcat 5 with it. You
don't need anything else.
Also, I would like to know how can I have access to J2EE? I am on Mac
OS 10.4 and as I know I need JBoss to have access to J2EE.
If you use JBoss to do your work, that's fine : it works great. Just
don't forget to put your webapp in the
$JBOSS_DIR/server/{default,minimal,all}/deploy directory (either as a
WAR archive, or as a yourapp.war directory).
For instance, I use the default server, that leads to a path like :
C:\jboss\jboss-4.0.1\server\default\deploy\my_webapp.war
(I am currently using MS-Windows for my devs)
I have
installed JBoss on my machine too. But I don't understand how can I use
Tomcat, JBoss and Struts altogether. Can you help me?
Struts is a collection of Java packages that you must embed with your
web application.
You must understand how a J2EE application is built (which is a bit
beyond the scope of this mailing list, I think). Basically, this means
your application will have the following structure :
+---WEB-INF
| +-classes
| +-lib
|
|
+---META-INF
WEB-INF contains configuration files (such as web.xml, and
struts-config.xml), definition files (for instance the taglib definition
files), etc. ; its subdirectories contain the various compiled classes
(the classes directory ;-) ), and the various packages you hava to
embed with your application (for instance, struts.jar ;-) ).
Anyway, this little presentation is far from complete, and I suggest you
read some doc about J2EE applications before going further with struts
(java.sun.com is a good start).

RE: Themes
I seem to keep coming back to the 'put' definitions in my tiles defs.
put name=sidemenu value=/layout/menu.jsp/
Is there a way that I can insert a variable into the value at runtime?
Something like:
put name=sidemenu value=${themes_dir}/layout/menu.jsp/
This still doesn't answer the fall-back to 'original' jsp tree idea but it
would be a start. Worst case I could keep a register of the pages that have
alternates for a particular theme and sub in the dir when necessary
otherwise leaving it blank to grab the base 'original' version.
Obviously I don't want to setup a put for every theme page. This would get
out of hand awful fast.

RE: Can struts-1.1 support multiple configurations and multiple resources
Manfred,
THanks again for giving clarification. Here I got some solution. I used
bundle parametre in html:erros bundle=sub/ so that I can find the
Resources where It was tied to the key sub which is as I already mentioned
given in struts-sub.xml like below
message-resources
parameter=com.sub.examp.SubResources key=sub
/message-resources
But again I got some problem with validation files. Can struts-1.1 support
multiple validation files?

Thats the trick. If you set null to false, than *if* a error message is not
found, the struts framework prints the language and the key, that is not found.
So it says: You have an error here. So you have an other mistake. It is good
practice to set null to false in all ressurce bundles, so you can see if
anything is wrong.

I think you don't have to deal with suffixes (like sub) because struts
itsselfs concatinate the module in the key, stored into the session. I
have a little example written for my struts book (only in german) that
deals with multiple struts config files. You may download it under
http://struts-ge-packt.de/download/code.zip
Because it is no maven project it comes with a lot of libraries.
1st Struts config: (struts-config.xml)
message-resources parameter=MessageResources null=false /
2nd Struts config with Module (struts-modul-confix.xml)
message-resources parameter=MessageModulResources /
It is a struts 1.2 application but the module support is fine in 1.1

Re: LookupDispatchAction
Hi, create a hidden value that has name of the property of your LookupDispatchAction which is defined in your struts-config.xml . Then set the necessary value to the property when image is clicked. All you need is to send a parameter(property in your struts-config.xml ) with necessary value. hope I could explain well.. On Tue, 2005-06-14 at 09:09 -0500, Rafael Taboada wrote: Hi folks.

Re: LookupDispatchAction
Well my code is like this. In my jsp:
html:submit property=method styleClass=Form
bean:message key=ComprasNuevo.boton.preagregarArticulo /
/html:submit
In my Action class I extend LookupDispatchAction. Methods:
protected Map getKeyMethodMap() {
Map map = new HashMap();
map.put(ComprasNuevo.boton.preagregarArticulo, preagregarArticulo);
map.put(ComprasNuevo.boton.registrar, agregarArticulo);
return map;
}
So, when I click on the button. The preagregarArticulo method will be
called.
As I said, all work fine. But I want to use html:image instead html:submit.
Like this:
html:image align=absmiddle altKey=ComprasNuevo.imagen.agregararticulo
border=0 property=method src=../images/Nuevo.png /
But there is an error:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Request[/ComprasNuevo] does not contain
handler parameter named 'method'. This may be caused by whitespace in the
label text.

form.set ( users, users.toArray ( new UserBean[0] ) );
In editUsers.jsp
logic:iterate id=users name=EditUsersForm property=users
html:text name=users property=name indexed=true
/logic:iterate
In the produced HTML:
input type=text name=users[0].name /
If you need to client side validation, you'll probably need to write your
own JSP to deal with the element above.
As for using validate.xml to validate on the server side. I've never tried
it with arrays, I just iterate over them in the validate (...) method of
the
form, like so:
UserBean users[] = (UserBean[]) form.get ( users );
for ( int i = 0; i users.length; i++ ) {
// check on the attributes of UserBean users[i]
}
Hope that example clears it up for you.

Re: LookupDispatchAction
Rafael, first of all, as web developer you should always know what input your application receives. If you use Firefox, go to their plugin site and get LiveHTTPHeaders plugin, an invaluable thing. After you install it, you will be able to trace requests and responses. To save you time, I can tell you that when you click your image, browser sends to server something like this: method.x=51method.y=16 DispatchAction and LookupDispatchAction expects a method parameter, not a method.x or method.y. Also, you need somehow to signal which method do you want to call. You need to specify method name in value attribute. Since it is an image, it won't be shown: html:image altKey=myimage.caption border=0 property=method value=myProcName src=myimage.gif / The above should produce request like this: method.x=51method.y=16method=myProcName I hope it works with DispatchAction, but I have not tested it. I think that you do not need LookupDispatchAction for this.

Re: ensuring valid forwards
The best way that I have found to counter this is to stick rigidly to a limited set of forward names, such as 'display', 'failed', 'insert', 'delete'. Hard-code them in a utility class as string finals, or as an enum if you use jdk 1.5. Make it part of your coding convention only to refer to map forwards from the utility class, so you are using only these strings as forward names. To avoid the problem with the blank page, set up global forwards with those names as well, and send them to an error page with an obvious error msg. The global forwards will be used by default when there is no local map-forward in your action mapping. I know there are often situations where a page has many possible consequent actions so you might not want to define your map-forward name set so rigidly. However such pages are big and cumbersome with lots of command buttons and I prefer to break them down into smaller pages.

For reasons discussed elsewhere I don't want to put a different action in front of each view, so I need a more general solution. This seems so obvious to me that I'm probably missing something about your requirements. Why can't you access the HttpServleRequest.getRequestURI() method and then process the returned URI string in your subclass of the Struts ForwardAction? The execute method for an Action class gets the incoming request object as one of the parameters. Your subclass can process the URI for the section and subsection values and set them as request attributes. For that matter, the request object is available to your JSP pages as well: http://tinyurl.com/9jn4d Of course, you would have to write scriptlet logic or define a JSP custom tag to encapsulate the logic to parse for the section/subsection values in order to handle it directly in the JSPs. All easily doable though. I'm just not seeing what the problem is here. The problem with that approach is duplication of information: you have to know the URL structure in the action / tag / whatever that does the URL parsing, as well as in struts-config.xml. And I don't need a single pattern, there would be a number of them, so the URL parsing would quickly get messy.

To quote your original example: QUOTE with URLs like this: /Sections/Section1/Subsections/Subsection1 An action mapping like this will match that URL: action path=/Sections/*/Subsections/* type=org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction parameter=.tiles.mytile/ The problem is, there's then no way to get what the wildcards matched in the view (JSP). For reasons discussed elsewhere I don't want to put a different action in front of each view, so I need a more general solution. /QUOTE Okay. So maybe this isn't the only wildcard mapping you will have. Still, you could have one SectionAction class for this particular wildcard mapping. That would be a vast improvement over status quo. How many different wildcard mappings do you have in this application? You could pass one request parameter that indicated which wildcard pattern was involved. If you don't want to have branching logic, you could even make this additional request parameter be a property name and store in your application properties file the regular expression to use against the incoming request URL to pull out the matching wildcard values. That should scale generally to any number of different wildcard mappings using a single Action class that was driven by these regular expressions coming from your application properties file. -Van -- - Mike Van Riper [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Using ActioForm in ActionForm practice
Hi, I've recently started working on a project that uses Struts 1.2 and Hibernate - and I'm in the dev team. Nothing unusual here. The project architecture is made in such way that ActionForms are an almost 1-1 mirror with the the Hibernate mapped entities. For example : if I have an entity A that contains an entity B and a list of etities C, in the corresponding forms I'll have Aform containing Bform and a List of CForm objects. What I would like to know if anyone used the ActionForms in such a way , or if this is considered to be a best practice.

re: carriage returns
Aehm, this is not quite true. If you look in the generated jsp you will see a bunch of lines like this: _jsp_string14 = \r\n .toCharArray(); (this is for resin users, in tomcat jsps it will be somewhere in the code with write()) The jsp compiler usually handles all whitespaces before and after a tag as html code. This means, that if your IDE fills out idents with spaces, you have about 10% additional garbage in a tag heavy page. I've seen pages with 10K garbage, even with zip-on it's still waste of cpu and bandwith. Regards Leon -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Jason Sheldon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Dienstag, 14.

Re: Using ActioForm in ActionForm practice
Depends. This topic is discussed heavily from time to time. The last tide was about a month ago :) Search archives. Basically, if you need only to output your A, B, C entities, you do not need action forms. Just stick your object in the proper scope. If you need to input data into A, B, C or your A, B, C are interactive (that is you need to output them, to modify them, to validate and to redisplay them on error, and finally to store them back to hibernate) then I know two obvious choices. You must recall, that: * Struts automatically stores request values into action form when request hits the server. * Also, action form is a bean, accessible from JSP. Thus, action form can be used as a buffer for interactive I/O. * Struts uses setters and getters to access properties. * Struts does not try to set property, if request does not have corresponding value. * Simple redirect does not keep request values. * Another thing to know, is that action form can handle aggregated (aka nested) objects. The choices I know of: (1) Use action form as I/O buffer, business objects would contain only valid and persisted data. Copy data from action form to BO when you store data. (2) Use a separate instance(s) of business object(s) or DTO(s) as I/O buffer, and store all interactive data there, even invalid data. Valid data can be persisted to database or wherever. For (1) you would need to write a lot of setters/getters, but on the plus side is that you do not need to call your business layer unless all values are valid. You can check validity in validate() method. On the other hand, if you already have validation functionality on business layer, this does not look good. For (2) You can aggregate your BOs in the action form. In this case action form should have session scope. Struts would populate your BOs as nested properties of action form. Less bloat in action form, but your BOs need to accept strings, to validate input, and to store whatever was set, even invalid data. Are you going to handle Refresh button and double submits? After I typed that huge email, I think I am entitled to a small plug :) Take a look at DialogAction at http://struts.sourceforge.net/strutsdialogs/dialogaction.html , maybe you could use some its ideas.

Themes
In looking into providing a Themes type functionality I've run across the idea of setting up a new DefinitionsFactory class. According to the section '8.4 Writing your own Definition Factory' of the document http://www.lifl.fr/~dumoulin/tiles/tilesAdvancedFeatures.pdf this looks like a neat way in which one might implement a themes subsystem. I think that this could allow me to basically re-write the value of a tile definition in such a way that for example: /layout/menu.jsp Is changed to something like /themes/example/layout/menu.jsp Depending on say a session scoped variable. Some code would be needed to check to make sure that this new jsp actually exists (giving me the fall-back to original functionality previously mentioned in this thread). Apparently I'll need to extend DefinitionsFactory. Unfortunately the document is now a little out of date and I'm wondering if anyone out there has successfully messed with this class? If you can share any experiences you may have had I'd really appreciate it. Regards Marty
