Problem with results of validate method in ActionForm
I have an an HTML form displayed on a jsp with struts html:form tags. In the validate method, I have a checkForEmpty and checkForNumber method that will check whether the field is empty or not a number (as applicable) and if so, add an ActionError to the ActionErrors object. The validate method works if all fields are correctly filled in and the control gets handed off to the Action associated with the form's submit button. However, if there are errors, then I get the following exception: javax.servlet.ServletException: Failed to obtain specified collection at org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.handlePageException(PageContextImpl.java:495) at org.apache.jsp.watermarkJobDetails_jsp._jspService(watermarkJobDetails_jsp.java:94) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:92) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:809) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:162) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:240) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:187) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:809) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.invoke(ApplicationDispatcher.java:627) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.doForward(ApplicationDispatcher.java:382) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.forward(ApplicationDispatcher.java:306) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.doForward(RequestProcessor.java:1069) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.internalModuleRelativeForward(RequestProcessor.java:1012) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processValidate(RequestProcessor.java:980) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process(RequestProcessor.java:255) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1482) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doPost(ActionServlet.java:525) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:716) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:809) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:200) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:146) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:209) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.invokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:596) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:433) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:948) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:144) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.invokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:596) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:433) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:948) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.invoke(StandardContext.java:2358) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:133) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.invokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:596) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorDispatcherValve.invoke(ErrorDispatcherValve.java:118) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.invokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:594) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:116) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.invokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:594) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:433) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:948) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:127) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.invokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:596) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:433) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:948) at org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:152) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:799) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.processConnection(Http11Protocol.java:705) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:577) at org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:683) at
Adding images to option items in a select drop down list
Hi, I am creating a drop down list using the HTML select and option tags. The items in the list will be color names (ex. red, green, blue, etc..). I would like a small square image to be next to each color name text in the list. How would I go about this in my jsp file with my struts tags? -Faisal -- http://www.quidprocode.com - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Adding images to option items in a select drop down list
Okay, somewhere in my head I can remember seeing an example of this, but I can't recall where it was. Sounds like the solution (if one exists) is non-trivial.

Trouble with html:link and params
I need to construct a table of files available for download. A file is downloaded by hitting the /download.do?jobId=2 action. The info for each row in the table is stored in an action form called retrieveJobsFormBean. This actionform contains a List of DownloadJob objects.

Re: Trouble with html:link and params
Actually, what I did was the following change to my html:link html:link action=downloadFile.do paramId=jobId paramName=job paramProperty=jobId So I changed teh paramName to job, which is the variable that refers to the bean during the iteration.

Cannot find a bean in the session
I am using Struts 1.1 deployed in Tomcat 4.1 running under JDK 1.3. I have a contact form I am building. It will get the user's email from an object called a UserInfoBean, which is not an ActionForm subclass, but does follow the JavaBean paradigm. It simply holds user info such as first name, last name, etc. Since it isn't associated with any particular form, I didn't make it subclass ActionForm. So my first question is, is this the correct pattern to follow? Secondly, in my ContactSupportAction class (subclass of struts Action), I attempt to retrieve this bean from the session and call it's getEmail() method. However, the result of (UserInfoBean) request.getAttribute(userInfoBean); returns a NULL reference. I don't understand why this is happening. I create this bean in a class called GetUserInfoAction, which gets fired right after a user logs in succesfully. The GetUserInfoAction will create a UserInfoBean and place it in the session under the name userInfoBean. The GetUserInfoAction will forward the user to the home.jsp. In this page I have some bean:write tags which reference information in the userInfoBean object. And this information displays just find. So I know the bean gets created and succesfully stored in the session. So how come I am not able to find a reference to this object when I attempt to retrieve from the session in my ContactSupportAction class? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Navigation menu help
I have created a navigation menu jsp file that I include with all the pages on my webapp via the jsp:include tag. This page has the following nav menu: ul lia href=/homePageHome/a/li lia href=/newJobPageNew Job/a/li lia href=/retrieveJobPageRetrieve Job/a/li /ul I have placed all jsp pages under WEB-INF/jsp/, except for the login page which resides at WebRoot/index.jsp. The user will access the index.jsp page, login and then upon succesfull authentication, they will be forwarded to WEB-INF/jsp/home.jsp. This occurs via a struts Action class. This action forwards as shown below: action path=/userLogin type=com.myorg.struts.actions.LoginUserAction name=loginFormBean input=/index.jsp unknown=true scope=session validate=true forward name=login.success path=/homePage.do/ /action I use ActionForwards to perform menu navigation. I specify them as follows in my struts-config.xml file: action path=/homePage type=org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction parameter=/WEB-INF/jsp/home.jsp/ action path=/newJobPage type=org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction parameter=/WEB-INF/jsp/newjob.jsp/ action path=/retrieveJobPage type=org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction parameter=/WEB-INF/jsp/retrievejob.jsp/ When the home.jsp loads after the user logs in the menu displays fine. The links show paths such as http://localhost:8080/homePage http://localhost:8080/newJobPage However, if I click on any of the nav links, I get a Tomcat error page saying: HTTP Status 404 - /homePage type Status report message /homePage description The requested resource (/homePage) is not available.
