Apache rewrite/reverse proxy
Hello Listers, I have back end website running on Tomcat using struts with the following url http://local.domain.com/app. External user access the website through apache proxy with the following url http://www.domain.com/user1 (user1, user2, etc... It’s uri specific to each user). I want to use apache rewrite or/ and reverse proxy directive to translate the url like http://www.domain.com/user1 into http://local.domain.com/app?user=user1 Can some apache guru help me please? Thanks, Abdel In your setup, is http://local.domain.com/app accessible to the users? There may not be any need for reverse proxying, it may simply be a matter for mod_rewrite... -Wes -- Wes Wannemacher Head Engineer, WanTii, Inc. Need Training? Struts, Spring, Maven, Tomcat...

-Original Message- From: Christian Grobmeier [mailto:grobme...@gmail.com] Sent: 15 March 2012 15:26 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Advice needed: Offline Struts App Hi, yes I know Struts 2 is a web framework. But recently somebody told me he would love to see a desktop version of my app instead of a cloud based version. I think this would be great for me too. Now I am considering different ways... not sure, probably somebody here already did the same in the past. I mean, many of the interceptors are probably not necessary in a desktop app. My Action are there - I could use them straightaway without interceptors (or some other great features of Struts). Basically I would just need to replace my HTML/JS frontend with something else, probably JavaFX. Anybody around who had a similar job with S2 in the past? Cheers Christian Christian, have you considered using XWork? Struts2 is basically a web implementation of the command pattern framework implemented by XWork. I worked on a project where I embedded XWork in a non-web-app and was very happy with it. -W -- Wes Wannemacher Head Engineer, WanTii, Inc. Need Training? Struts, Spring, Maven, Tomcat...

Re: 'Best' Struts Development Envirnoment?
I have nothing but good things to say about IntelliJ IDEA's Struts 2 support... I have not used Struts 1 in a while, but I can tell you that I really appreciate the following features: 1. It is aware that class files are Actions and/or spring beans. Therefore, you can jump straight to the class's action configuration or spring configuration. 2. Tag autocompletion. It is aware of the parameters for all of the tags. 3. OGNL awareness (I think this is new in IDEA 11), I believe it matches variables back to properties on the action class, etc. Some of the other features that make it a pleasure to use: - proper support for maven (this is my primary problem with Eclipse) - very intuitive debugger - JPQL console -Wes On Tue, Jan 24, 2012 at 12:10 PM, Burton Rhodes burtonrho...@gmail.com wrote: I think this has been addressed before on this list, but I am wondering what you guys have found is the best environment to develop Struts.

Hope this explains what I am looking for. Based on that, I am going to reiterate my original pointer to the DAO pattern. What you are looking for (IMO) is too high-level to be be implemented by a framework. There are ambitious attempts, such as spring-data (http://www.springsource.org/spring-data). However, you will see that they don't mention LDAP support. Conversely, if you read the original link about the DAO *pattern* and implement that pattern using a good IoC (spring), you will achieve your goal with very little effort. Then, you will find that spring / struts play nicely together and you will be very happy. As a reassurance, I use the DAO approach with IoC and have a library, developed internally, that we use to manage security. This allows us to retrieve users from a database, if the database modules are wired in, or use LDAP if the LDAP / Active Directory modules are wired in. -Wes -- Wes Wannemacher Head Engineer, WanTii, Inc.

Re: Asynchronous Display of Action Results
You can achieve the outcome you desire by using AJAX instead of the
s:action tag. Here is an (untested) jquery example -
div id=remoteAction1/div
div id=remoteAction2/div
script type=text/javascript
$(document).ready(function() {
$(remoteAction1).load(s:url action=action1 /);
$(remoteAction2).load(s:url action=action2 /);
});
/script
I'm too lazy at the moment to make sure that the javascript is
correct, so if someone notices any glaring errors, please chime in.

However what I want is that action1 action2 to be executed

Re: Spring Plugin and Interceptor instantiation
Spring will instantiate the interceptors (and actions and results) if spring is able to resolve the name given as a bean. Think of it like this, if you specify an interceptor like so - interceptor name=execAndWait class=executeAndWaitInterceptorBean/ and executeAndWaitInterceptorBean resolves as a bean name in your spring context, then it will use the resolved bean. If the name is not resolved as a bean in spring, struts will revert back to its normal mechanisms for instantiation. The other thing to be aware of is autowiring. If you set the spring plugin autowiring to byname or bytype, then the plugin will attempt to wire in dependencies that match (by name or match by type) for any of the objects that the factory is instantiating. -Wes On Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 8:37 AM, roger roger.var...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi If I use the struts 2 spring plugin, will the struts framework use spring to instantiate the standard filters (i.e. ExecuteAndWaitInterceptor) or does the struts framework continue to instantiate them?

Something else? Whatever it is, you should be able to get it by doing the
following and filling in the appropriate FOO below based the answer to this
question.
This tells me that you don't have a getApplication_theme() on your action.
If you make your action implement ApplicationContextAware
And add not only
public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext newApplicationContext)
throws BeansException;
but also
public ApplicationContext getApplicationContext();
Then you should be able to say
%{applicationContext.bean('application_theme')}
or
%{applicationContext.message('application_theme')}
or
%{applicationContext.FOO}
D:\projects\mengine\src\main\webapp\themes\\pages\production\mainContent.jsp
not found
Is like this string is not parsed and variables not replaced with their
values.
This must be being parsed, since the %{application_theme} portion is no
longer present. It evaluated to an empty string.

Re: Struts 2 field validator thread safety
I would say that you probably should write the validator to be thread-safe (just to be sure). But, that being said, from a quick look at the validation framework (check classes like DefaultValidationFactory, ValidationInterceptor, etc. inside of xwork), it looks like xwork caches the validator config and asks the validator factory for instances when they are needed. The validator factory retrieves the instance from the Object Factory, which is creating and injecting a new instance for each validation. I say that you should still make them thread-safe because I would imagine at some point, the framework might create instances and cache / reuse them since reflections-based instantiation can be slow. -Wes On Sat, Jul 17, 2010 at 6:25 PM, Marshall Gunter marsh...@mate1inc.com wrote: Writing my own.

Re: Struts2 - Html to PDF
I'd assume it's possible, but probably not the best choice... I would take a look at doing either a Jasper report or using Apache FOP. The choice will have to do with the nature of the PDF you are trying to generate. Jasper is a reporting platform... Think of Crystal Reports, there is a report designer, you then back the report with data and render. Jasper uses iText to generate PDFs, and it will let you create more of a document than a bunch of code. If your output will be hard to model in a traditional reporting platform, then take a look at Apache FOP. It's very complicated, but think of it this way - You start with XML modelling your data, then pass it through a transform that kicks out XSL-FO, then you have Apache FOP turn it into a PDF. I don't have any real experience with it, so I might be giving you bad information (and hope someone will correct me). But, in this scenario, you are generating XML which represents the data you are passing to the output. The transform is done using XSLT? Which is another standard. What you generate is an XSL-FO document. This document can be rendered as a PDF by FOP. Although it's a more complicated process than the first choice, it does add some flexibility since you can drop-in replace different components (the transformer, the FO-to-PDF converter, probably), plus, you can create other XSLTs that generate other output. With Jasper, you'll probably be locked into PDF, HTML and Excel (CSV). -Wes On Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 4:43 PM, CRANFORD, CHRIS chris.cranf...@setech.com wrote: Is it possible to extend the default ServletDispatcherResult to parse the HTML output and pass the result content to the browser as a PDF document?

Re: How to set a variable in session in the JSP
What you want is this -
s:set name=sessionValue value=%{accountList} scope=session /
However, what i'm wondering right now is this -
you have to expose accountList most likely by having a getter/setter
combination on the action that is rendering the JSP that contains this
tag. Assuming you are placing the variable in the session so that you
can retrieve it from another action, why have the object pushed into
the session from a view? I mean, if you have it in an action, why not
push it into the session in that action?
To me, setting session variables from a view smells a bit like
business logic creeping into your view layer. I probably don't know
enough about the task to say for sure, and the tag above should get
the job done, but consider what I'm saying... One of the advantages of
adopting an MVC framework is to abstract business logic away from the
views in your application. If the view performs more than just
displaying the appropriate data, it is potentially less reusable by
different actions (although it doesn't happen a lot that a view is
reused by different actions, it does happen more often if you're
properly disciplined in separating the business logic).

Re: Need Help For Struts2 Debugging
Sorry to jump in so late, but depending on what I'm looking for, I generally do one of two things. If I am looking at reproducing a bug (which I haven't been doing much lately) and it would be easier to reproduce in a web-app, then I will try to update one of the reference apps (struts2-blank, struts2-showcase) and then run the updated web-app in my IDE in the debugger. The other option is to create a test-case using JUnit or something similar to validate the bug and debug it there. As far as learning the internals... just like any other significantly complex system, you just have to spend time grokking through it and it will eventually make sense. It's much harder to try to learn it all at once, so pick some piece that you can conceptualize (one of the interceptors or results for instance) and work through it. -Wes On Wed, May 26, 2010 at 7:22 AM, aum strut aum.str...@gmail.com wrote: DO any one have other way to do this job done???

Re: Some Spring/Struts questions
I've seen a few responses, but I think the best way would be to write
an interceptor that places the bean into the session. Give it a known
name in the session, then you can use OGNL to access it... Here is a
quick example of the interceptor -
public class CustomInterceptor extends AbstractInterceptor {
private SomeBeanGeneratingService someBeanGeneratingService;
public String intercept(ActionInvocation invocation) throws Exception {
invocation.getSession().put(knownBeanName,
someBeanGeneratingService.getBean());
return invocation.invoke();
}
public void setSomeBeanGeneratingService(SomeBeanGeneratingService
someBeanGeneratingService) {
this.someBeanGeneratingService = someBeanGeneratingService;
}
}
The benefit is using an interceptor is two-fold... One is that it's
pretty easy to unit test (compared to a Servlet Filter). Two is that
it can be spring-configured and spring-injected.
With this interceptor putting the bean into the session, you can
access the bean's values through OGNL. Here is an example s:property
tag retrieving some property -
s:property value=%{#session.knownBeanName.someProperty} /
Then, configure the interceptor and dependencies and put this
interceptor in your stack.

All,
Apologies if this would be better asked in a Spring forum. If so, I would
appreciate guidance as to which one/where.
I have a Struts2 application with around 30 actions. Most inherit from a
common base class. We have configured the system to start to use Spring to
inject certain things into certain places. This seems to work well and we
are all currently happy bunnies.
A new requirement means that we need to have available across pretty much
every action a separate, independent bean that carries information that may
(or may not) need to be displayed on the resulting web-pages. I am wondering
what the best way is to make this bean available to each JSP.
I'm happy with injecting certain beans into certain actions, but I'm not
clear what I should be injecting *this* bean into. Ideally it should just
pop into existence and be available to the JSPs without the Actions even
being aware that it is there. It's not part of the business logic and is
purely informational. If I have to make it available through the Actions
then I would *like* to be able to inject it into the common base class with
a single configuration and have that work automatically for all sub-classes
(and this would be a useful trick for some other places in the application)
but that does not seem to be possible unless I'm missing a trick?
How should I configure this, please?
Later,
Andy

Wes, side question. Using the convention plugin can you modify the stack
in the xml file so you don't have to annotate the action itself? Or do
you still have to add the annotation with the interceptor put in?

Subject: Re: Some Spring/Struts questions
I've seen a few responses, but I think the best way would be to write
an interceptor that places the bean into the session. Give it a known
name in the session, then you can use OGNL to access it... Here is a
quick example of the interceptor -
public class CustomInterceptor extends AbstractInterceptor {
private SomeBeanGeneratingService someBeanGeneratingService;
public String intercept(ActionInvocation invocation) throws
Exception {
invocation.getSession().put(knownBeanName,
someBeanGeneratingService.getBean());
return invocation.invoke();
}
public void setSomeBeanGeneratingService(SomeBeanGeneratingService
someBeanGeneratingService) {
this.someBeanGeneratingService = someBeanGeneratingService;
}
}
The benefit is using an interceptor is two-fold... One is that it's
pretty easy to unit test (compared to a Servlet Filter). Two is that
it can be spring-configured and spring-injected.
With this interceptor putting the bean into the session, you can
access the bean's values through OGNL. Here is an example s:property
tag retrieving some property -
s:property value=%{#session.knownBeanName.someProperty} /
Then, configure the interceptor and dependencies and put this
interceptor in your stack.

I do have different action methods which I am invoking through wild-card

submits and partial submits. I have implemented another solution with a
little bit of S2 customization.
- Introduced a new annotation to group fields on the action class. For
example:
@Group(CustomerAddress) private int cityCode;
- Introduced a group validation annotation to validate fields of only one
group from the class. Example:
�...@validate(CustomerAddres)
public String saveAddress() {
}
- Implemented a GroupValidatorManager extends
AnnotationActionValidatorManager (S2 internal) and introduced that instead
of the AnnotationValidationManager in struts xml as the default bean:
bean name=default type=
com.opensymphony.xwork2.validator.ActionValidatorManager
class=com.tcs.gui.arch.validation.GroupValidatorManager
/
- GroupValidatorManager overrides the getValidator to return only the
applicable validators for the current method by processing the
annotations.
I can share this code if anyone is interested.

When you submit the fieldset through ajax, are you submitting to a
different action mapping? If the ajax submit and the full form submit,
you could setup a validation for the action mapping that corresponds
to the ajax submit. Handling ajax validation is a bit tricky, but
somewhere in the wiki, there is a document that describes it.

Re: Odd Interceptor Behaviour with Spring Plugin (possibly)
Without looking at the blog entry you posted, I would suggest looking at your interceptor stack configuration for the action. The most likely case is that some other interceptor is interrupting execution (likely for a legitimate reason). For instance, the workflow (or is it validation) interceptor might have detected that validation failed and returned input before executing your action. If your interceptor is configured further down the stack, then it won't be reached. As for why it is behaving differently in an app that has the spring plugin vs. non-spring app... I would first assume that's a red herring and you should check first what I mentioned above. -Wes On Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 10:29 AM, RogerV roger.var...@googlemail.com wrote: I'm using the RedirectMessageInterceptor from http://glindholm.wordpress.com/2008/07/02/preserving-messages-across-a-redirect-in-struts-2.

Re: S2 validation without API ties
Chris,
There are a few non-struts/xwork-validation plugins that integrate
with general purpose validation mechanisms. Off the top of my head, I
remember this -
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/OVal+Plugin
But, I think there are two distinctly different things you are
considering here. If you want to validate class instances that aren't
linked in any way against struts/xwork libraries, then you should
simply separate your validateable objects from your struts actions...
For instance -
public class YourAction extends ActionSupport {
private YourValidateableBean propName ;
// getters/setters/etc.
public String execute() {
return propName.execute();
}
}
I can understand your desire to remove the dependency of struts,
making your actions reusable. But at the same time, without the helper
methods that ActionSupport provides, implementing a mechanism for
displaying validation failure error messages in the struts tags
becomes extremely difficult. I will add, ActionSupport is linked only
against classes provided by the JDK. And, that extending ActionSupport
isn't a requirement, but not extending it means you will lose mostly
the integration with the tags on the frontend.
Even if you still don't want struts/xwork classes in your validation,
i would suggest the OVal plugin, combined with a delegatory setup for
executing your beans.

framework using the underlying configurable interceptor stack mechanism.
Does that answer your question?
Not really what I'm trying to do is build an action that does not
depend upon the S2/xwork APIs, but can still work with them.
Specifically, I'd rather have:
public class MyAction
extends (nothing)
implements (Nothing)
{
public void addFieldError(String field, String message) { ... };
}
rather than this:
public class MyAction
extends ActionSupport
and/or
implements ValidationAware
{
// addError declared in ValidationAware
public void addFieldError(String field, String message) { ... };
}
I believe the ValidationInterceptor has code that looks something like this:
if(action instanceof ValidationAware)
{
foreach field {
validate field
if(error)
action.addFieldError(fieldName, errorMessage);
}
}
I was wondering if there was any interest in an alternative
implementation that did something more like this:
if(declaresValidationMethods(action.getClass())
{
foreach field {
validate field
if(error)
action.addFieldError(fieldName, errorMessage);
}
}
I could certainly implement this myself, but I'm wondering if there is
wider interest in such an interceptor.

Re: Struts2 annotations and superclass
At first glance, I would think that what you describe would be the
easiest method. For instance, I would do the following -
@Override
@Action(/url)
public String method() {
return super.method();
}
This would get a bit tedious if you have a significant number of
actions. If you have a lot of methods, take a look at creating your
own action mapper and implement your own annotation. Implementing your
own action mapper is easier than it sounds and there are plenty of
example plugins.

Greetings,
We are converting from using Struts1 and XDoclet to Struts2 and Struts2
annotations.
We have a base action class which handles requests which displays grid style
information.
The super class is a template pattern which does a lot of the common heavy
lifting and exposes
a method display which is invoked by a name specified in the action
configuration for the url.
Subclasses simply implement a method to retrieve a collection of objects.
What we have been doing is placing the XDoclet annotations in the subclasses
which specified
the url and the method to invoke.
With Struts2, I don't see that this is possible using just the annotations.
It appears subclasses will have to override the superclass method just to
bind a url.
I don't see that the @Action annotation supports a method parameter or it
may be possible.
The same problem will occur for our CRUD action super classes.
The subclasses will have to override the super class methods just to bind the
method name to the url.
So, am I missing something? Is it possible to use Struts2 annotations such
that subclasses don't have
to override super class methods simply to bind the method name to the url?

Re: Issue with localization: Messages not picked up from properties file
Kartik,
First off, your first mapping doesn't forward it dispatches to the
login.jsp page. If the validation file you have created is picked up
when the user hits that url, then you are going to see the validation
errors. Second, in your form tag, I would remove the '.action' from
the action attribute. Also, to make your page flow better, i would
change the mapping as follows -
action name = login_* class=LoginAction method={1}
result name=input/login.jsp/result
result name=success/login_success.jsp/result
result name=error/login.jsp/result
/action
Then, change your form tag so that it looks like this -
s:form action=login_authenticate ...
Notice that you no longer need a separate mapping for login_input. In
addition, the flow of validation will be easier to follow. The trick
is that your entry point will now be - /contextroot/login_input.action

Re: About bank application using Struts 2

There used to be a library that you can use to help secure your web-app ...looking... http://www.hdiv.org/ They used to support an s2 plugin, but I'm not sure which version it works with. In general, you want to treat security as something you approach in layers. Obviously, you want to encrypt communications that might expose sensitive information (apply ssl), and you want to utilize an authentication and authorization mechanism (spring-security). After that, you want to treat all user input as unsafe/tainted (escape before displaying to other users, use parameterized sql statements rather than constructing strings of sql) and make sure that you pay close attention that you try not to put sensitive data on the URL string (using form method=GET for form-based authentication). In addition, it may not hurt and would probably be worth the money to involve a security professional to perform audits or to participate in code reviews. There are new attack mechanisms that crop up all the time and a lot of times security pros can point out things that you didn't know where potential problems. Lastly, make sure you secure your application server... There is a guide to hardening Tomcat here - http://cisecurity.org/en-us/?route=downloads.browse.category.benchmarks.servers.web.apache If you are not using tomcat, make sure you know enough about your application server that you don't open up attack vectors at the server. -Wes On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 4:28 PM, Oscar oscar.kalde...@gmail.com wrote: Hi to all, right now i'm going to develop something like bank application to enable users to manage their accounts, transfer money, pay services and so on, and really i have no experience developing applications like that (where security is really important) so i don't know if exists some book about critical applications development with struts 2 or you can give me some tips to develop a secure application, also tips about struts and ssl, or if you know internet resources that talk about that.

Yeah, it's a bit of a pain sometimes, but there is nothing that stops
someone from writing html like this -
form ...
input name=foo value= type=text /
input name=foo value= type=text /
/form
In this case, you can retrieve all of the values submitted for foo
as an array. It's just one of those details people sometimes forget
when you get away from dealing directly with request parameters.

Re: Struts2 + Sitemesh + Freemarker doesn't work
I am not decorating JSP with freemarker decorators, I am decorating
JSP with JSP, but I use the following filter -
filter
filter-namesitemesh/filter-name
filter-classcom.opensymphony.sitemesh.webapp.SiteMeshFilter/filter-class
/filter
The filter you are using might be buggy... I don't know if it has seen
any attention in a while. If you get a moment, whip up a simple
example web-app that demonstrates the problem and create a JIRA on it.
A quick look in JIRA shows that someone was working on a solution for
sitemesh issues -
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-3296
But, I haven't seen a patch yet. Anyhow, I don't know sitemesh well
enough to say whether using SiteMeshFilter will fix your problem, but
give it a try. If you provide a sample app, I'll try to get it fixed
for the next release.

When tried to access the paramName, it's fine when used in 'property' tag.
s:property value=%{#parameters.paramName} / will print 'paramValue'.

Re: XSS vulnerability with s:text
Go ahead and file a jira. Better yet, file one with a patch and unit
test. I don't know if we would make escaping the default (it might
break backward compatibility). But it is definitely worth putting in
the next release.

Thanks for the cleaner code - that is an improvement, and I'll use that
idiom.
I agree that generally s:text is intended for displaying safe text.
However the use case Hello, {0} has to be pretty common, when
something like a user name is inserted. Also the ability to access
OGNL inside resource bundles (Hello, ${user.firstName}) guarantees
that parameters that may well originate with user input can end up
inside s:text. (Note, parameter escaping wouldn't help in this
case.)
The problem becomes most serious if different people have different
responsibilities. If the person responsible for writing the JSP's is
not involved with the resource bundles or the action layer, then they
have no way of knowing whether the text they are inserting is safe or
not. And I'd say they really need a clean way to take responsibility
to ensure what goes on the page is safe. Perhaps an escape attribute
on s:text which defaults to false would help.
Thanks, again,
John

I think in most cases s:text is used for displaying safe text that

Obviously if you do use it to echo user supplied data you need to be
careful.
It would be nice to have a flag like you suggest however it might be
difficult to get the behavior exactly right since the text may contain
formatting tags and what you really want is to just escape the
parameters.

This is my first posting to this list, so excuse me if this is an

My concern is with the XSS vulnerability in the following use case:
s:text name=resource.key
s:param value=param1/
/s:text
It seems (Struts 2.1.8.1) that there is no mechanism in s:text or
s:param to do HTML escaping. If param1 contains user input then this
opens the door to XSS attacks.
The easiest solution I can see is to modify the code to
s:text var=v name=resource.key
s:param value=param1/
/s:text
s:property value=v/
This works, but it is a lot of work. It seems to me it would be better
if Struts2 supported
s:text name=resource.key escape=true
s:param value=param1/
/s:text
or, better yet, had escape=true as its default.
Is there another way round this problem which I am missing?

Re: [Q] Enable Freemarker template caching
If you are using struts 2.0.9 or earlier, then you will have to copy the template directory out of the struts2-core jar file into your web-app. (Off the top of my head, I can't remember if you copy it to context-root, context-root/WEB-INF, context-root/WEB-INF/classes, but I'm sure that's in the docs or online somewhere). If you are using 2.0.10 or higher, then just set the mentioned value to true...

Resources retrieved from the classpath have no last modified time, so Freemarker will reload them on every request. end clip I am confused.

My best effort involved getting the length of requestDefinition (using

the rows=%=len%
Unfortunately that's against the DTD and struts blows up.
Apart from a long series of ugly s:if elements is there any way to get a

I may resort to use javascript, but that'd be quite a faff (these textareas

In the even that the Application Server throws up the 404, it will indicate that the Resource is not found. Also, you said that the form is trying to hit login.do, do you have .do mapped as an extension in your struts.xml? I don't think it's one of the defaults, the struts filter defaults to processing .action,, which is .action extension and no extension. -Wes On Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 12:51 PM, CRANFORD, CHRIS chris.cranf...@setech.com wrote: I was using Struts 2.1.6 along with XWork2 2.1.2.

If the dispatcher / filter isn't run against the request, the Container will be unavailable. Topics similar to this have come up in the past, but I can't remember the exact solution. There are a few ways to view the solution to your problem. For one, if you want to catch *all* errors and use the error-page in the web.xml, then don't use any struts tags in there. This is my preferred method, simply because the error could come from deep in the darkest trenches of the framework (or another framework - i.e. Hibernate / Spring filters/listeners). It's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem. If you want absolute certainty, then take the tags out of your error page. Another approach is to create a graph of exception-mappings - http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/exception-configuration.html Which it looks like you have attempted to do. However, I don't think using Throwable is enough. When you have the problem, do you see a stack-trace in the application server console? There is bound to be another exception that happens beforehand that is causing the error result to be dispatched to... Basically, the NPE is a result of the error result attempt, so what is the cause of the error result? (hint, it isn't the NPE, it'll most likely be in your application server logs). Once you track that down, you can solve this particular problem, but long-term, I don't think your exception-mapping will work 100% of the time, you will find situations like this that are simply outside of the scope of Struts to handle. -Wes -- Wes Wannemacher Head Engineer, WanTii, Inc.

Re: focusElement in s:form
You have a few choices, you could write your own theme, but that would be overkill for what you are trying to do... Although, I have found that when people are using the simple theme, there is a good chance that they are hand-rolling a theme outside of struts, which is okay, but creating a theme is pretty easy and think of the work you'll save later! Other than themes, the easiest way to get to where you want would be to simply write the Javascript yourself. Setting focus is a one-liner, and what s:head spits out isn't particularly complex...

Re: best practices in struts 2.1 - Tiles and Convention - clean URLs with minimum number of actions
Charles,
I haven't really found any way to get around the setup you are talking
about... If you want validation, you pretty much have to map to
different actionable URLs. From the framework's perspective, it really
can't know that you want validation or not without different request
URLs. The alternative is to try to code around it, but then your UI
logic becomes entangled into your application code.

chuck.t.par...@namesforlife.com wrote:
I'm using struts 2.1.8.1 here and have a question about best practices in
the following situation:
I have a form page, 'register'. It takes several fields, username, password,
etc.
I want the initial form page to be rendered via GET:
http://my.server.net/register
This shows the blank form (the tile definition below), without attempting to
validate the fields.
definition name=registrationPage extends=defaultLayout
put-attribute name=content value=/WEB-INF/pages/registration.jsp/
/definition
On POST to the same URL 'http://my.server.net/register', I want to perform
validation on the form, (via register-validation.xml or Annotation). If the
form validates then perform the action that triggers the underlying business
logic. Otherwise re-display the form with validation errors (again, same
URL, 'http://my.server.net/register').
I am using the Convention plugin and the Tiles plugin. The combination of
these two seems to throw a wrench in the works.
It seems that with the Convention plugin, I can only depend on execute()
being called, or I need to define multiple actions.
The approach I'm using now works reasonably well but there must be a cleaner
way:
@ParentPackage(testing)
public class Register extends ActionSupport
{
�...@action(value=register,result...@result(name=input, type=tiles,
location=registrationPage)})
�...@skipvalidation
public String execute() throws Exception
{
return this.isBlank() ? INPUT : submit;
}
�...@action
(
value=register-submit,
results=
{
�...@result(name=input, type=tiles,
location=registrationPage),
�...@result(name=error, type=tiles,
location=registrationPage),
�...@result(name=success, type=tiles,
location=registrationSuccessfulPage)
}
)
public String executeValidate() throws Exception
{
// perform business logic
return SUCCESS;
}
private boolean isBlank()
{
return StringUtils.isBlank(this.username)
StringUtils.isBlank(this.password)
}
}
Someone can still link in to /register-submit, which isn't awful, since
validation is performed. But I'd like to minimize the number of actionable
URLs on my site and avoid writing an isBlank() method for each form.
It would seem more straightforward if I could depend on an INPUT result on
the first load of the page (with @SkipValidation), and then execute()
thereafter, with only a single action defined at the class level instead of
multiple actions at the method level.
Is this possible, and if so, what is the most appropriate way to do this via
struts 2.1?
I am addicted to the Convention plugin annotation, and I cannot do without
Tiles.
For reference, I'm using the following in struts.xml:
constant name=struts.convention.action.alwaysMapExecute value=false/
package name=testing extends=struts-default
!-- Set the tiles result type as the default for this package. --
result-types
result-type name=tiles
class=org.apache.struts2.views.tiles.TilesResult default=true/
/result-types
/package
Many thanks for any alternatives or refinements of this approach.

I expected to have to use it like this, as a hash (or something like it):
#if parameters.deletecolumn == true
And instead, the only way it works is as above, as a string:
#if parameters?contains(deletecolumn=true)
If I use it as hash, it gives me ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1.
Any thoughts?

Re: Essential Dependencies Only
Scott, take a look at the mailreader and blank apps. You can also read through the struts2-core pom (annotated and easier to read here - http://jarvana.com/jarvana/inspect-pom/org/apache/struts/struts2-core/2.1.8/struts2-core-2.1.8.pom, that points to 2.1.8, they haven't indexed 2.1.8.1 yet, but there is no differences in dependencies).

Re: Convention plug-in, tiles, and no @Result annotation
I haven't tried it, but from the docs it looks like you can set the

Re: ActionContext.getContext() is returning null
Have you thought about re-creating the logic in FatalErrorServlet in a Struts 2 Action? That would be the optimal solution. I don't think you are going to get an *Action*Context unless you are in an *Action*. If it has worked in the past, it's probably an unintended side effect. If you can't refactor to an action, then just refactor your servlet to not use Struts objects. -Wes On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 10:28 AM, strutsdev43 nagmi...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Can someone please help with the issue that I am seeing with Struts 2.1.8.1.

i map it in struts.xml:
[code] action name=dataParams_* method={1}
class=loto.action.DataParams
result type=redirectAction/jsp/main.jsp/result
result name=input/jsp/dataParams.jsp/result
/action [/code]
and set up a DataParams-validator.xml.
The problem starts when i submit dataParams.jsp 's form:
[code] form action=dataParams method=get [/code]
because it's supposed to validate while beeing loaded by main.jsp, but it
displays alone not included in main.jsp when it displays errors.
This is by design (sort of), your input result dispatches to
/jsp/dataParams.jsp directly. It works on the first request because
you are using executeResult=true in your s:action tag... But, if you
want input to go to main.jsp, then dispatch there on input... The
trouble you will then have is that it will create an infinite loop...
My suggestion is that you redesign your pages and flow so that it does
not depend on the s:action tag.
The key to this problem is what should i write in form action=
to make this work the way i aim?
As I mention above, you are going to run into trouble no matter how
you try to work this out... Try to avoid the s:action tag.
Further thoughts:
If i dataParams action doesn't get called when dataParams submits, the struts
2 xml validation doesn't fire.
dataParams.jsp is supposed to be always included in main.jsp though, showing
errors or not,
but if i call main action, the struts 2 xml validation is always bypassed by
the input action.
dataParams bypasses validation the first time because it doesn't need to
validate when first shown (like in HelloWorld), should i validate from start
and live with it?
Maybe action chaining would do it? I don't know...
I hate to say it, but you might want to spend some more times looking
through examples or get a copy of Struts 2 In Practice from Manning
Publications or Apache Struts 2 Web Application Development by Dave
Newton.

Re: EJb 3.1 (dependency injection) and Struts2 actio ns ¿CDI/Weld needed?
On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 4:02 PM, Ignacio de Córdoba icord...@skios.es wrote: Hi there, I'd like to know if there is a recommended approach to deal with dependency injection on new EJB 3.1 EJBs. I am using now a modified version of JBoss Struts2 plugin with works great but it really does nothing more than regular JNDI lookups on every action request call. Unfortunately, this is the best mechanism that we have, currently. The thing about the JEE5 spec is that it specified annotations for dependency injection, but did not standardize the mechanism for retrieving the would-be-injected objects (other than JNDI). Struts uses various different mechanisms for instantiating classes, it has it's own internal DI, some reflections, and even delegates to other mechanisms like Spring or Guice. But, the problem is that struts creates its own objects and it is the Application Server that does the EJB injection. I wonder if there is a new approach to getting EJB 3.1 session beans (stateless to be precise) which is what mostly I have to deal with. I've seen in the DEV forum that a plugin for CDI/Weld is coming (hopefully soon). This will most likely be the preferred mechanism in the future. But, in the same thread you probably saw that this feature is a part of JEE6. Should we have to wait for this plugin or there is a simple approach to just inject new EJBs in struts2 actions? (@EJB... ? :-) ) At this point, the only simple approach is JNDI lookups. The plugins that do this currently are as good as you are going to get for now. Since it is looking like we are going to move our internal DI toward the specification, you will probably have better support for JEE/EJB DI in the future. Of course, I have already tested new GlassFish v3, even though I'll probably be using new JBoss 6 (I have already tested it with my previous EJB3 Struts2 projects and works ok, so I'd like to start my new projects directly with EJB 3.1) -- Wes Wannemacher Head Engineer, WanTii, Inc.

technically correct... Can you also post for us the list of jars that
you have in /WEB-INF/lib ?
Another thing I would try is to take the 'throws Exception' off of
your execute method declaration. I can't remember off the top of my
head, but I don't normally declare that and it makes me wonder if it's
taking your method out of the inheritance hierarchy... Also, can you
post your class declaration, are you extending ActionSupport or

Re: Is Using Spring With Struts 2 A Good Idea?
-Original Message- From: phillips1021 [mailto:bphill...@ku.edu] Sent: Wednesday, November 25, 2009 11:29 AM To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: Is Using Spring With Struts 2 A Good Idea? At the University of Kansas (#1 college basketball team :) we use Struts 2 for our web application framework. Its worked very well for us. I've been learning the Spring framework and how to use it with Struts 2. I think the two frameworks work very well together. I'm preparing a class for the other Java developers on how to use Struts 2 and Spring together. As part of my research I'd like to hear from other Struts 2 developers on if you use Spring with Struts 2 and if you think its a good or bad practice. Thanks in advance for any feedback you can provide on why or why not it's a good idea to use Struts 2 with Spring. Bruce Phillips http://www.brucephillips.name/blog http://www.brucephillips.name/blog Bruce, I am currently working on a commercial product that combines the two. I could sing songs of praise, but I figure you've already gotten a few of those messages, so I will try to come up with a few drawbacks I've noticed. One thing I noticed early on is that it seriously compounds the amount of XML configuration you will have to manage. I am a fan of the Conventions plugin, but still feel obligated to stick to traditional (explicit) configuration for projects of serious size. I just deployed an app recently at a customer that contains 1678 lines of XML configuration just for struts and spring (this does not include sitemesh, web.xml, maven poms, etc.). Another thing I noticed is that this (these) project(s) now require a significant learning curve. I think most of the people on this list wouldn't be scared to jump into a project using struts 2, spring, jpa, maven, etc. But... In my neck of the woods (just north of Kentucky, but not a whole lot more civilized), it is difficult to find trained Java professionals who are fluent in the technologies named above. What is interesting is that when you look at the code, on a per source file basis, it is all very simple (POJO-based development with simple services/implementations). However, conceptually fitting all the pieces together always tends to fall on my shoulders since my team tends to be less experienced in the different libraries. With that being said, I will add that it really is a pleasure to use all of these things together. After a certain point in every project, development time speeds up drastically. Changes are easy and a nice library of components is created that allows for easy additions. All of these things tend to come together once you get past the first two points above. -Wes -- Wes Wannemacher Head Engineer, WanTii, Inc. Need Training? Struts, Spring, Maven, Tomcat...

Re: read the source code
As far as I know, there are no books that specifically analyze the source code for Struts 2. I would suggest starting by reading the source code to Xwork. To really get a handle on what is going on, first try to get a solid understanding of the command pattern design pattern. Then, take a look at the xwork source to see how it is implemented there. Once you feel comfortable at that level, take a good look at the Servlet and JSP specifications. Then you can take a look at the source for Struts 2. It also wouldn't hurt to take a look at Google Guice. Although we aren't using Guice, we branched it early on and have been using it for internal dependency injection (both in Xwork and in Struts 2).

The downside of upgrades. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Struts-2.1.8%3A-Do-we-need-to-escape-messages--tp25922882p25922882.html Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Wes Wannemacher Head Engineer, WanTii, Inc.

Re: Why Struts 2 if we configure Struts 2 and spring
It's mostly a matter of preference. I prefer Struts 2 over Spring Web Flow. There are many people who would choose Spring Web Flow thinking that it will provide better integration with Spring, but Struts 2's Spring support is top-notch, so it's easy to use Spring DI along with Struts 2's feature set. -Wes On Fri, Oct 9, 2009 at 8:00 AM, nani2ratna nani2ra...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I got one doubt.

Re: Servlet filter as front controller
I was thinking about this issue recently and wondered if simply mapping a do-nothing servlet to * would workaround this... I thought about trying it, but I only have tomcat and jetty handy for testing, and this doesn't seem to be an issue on either one. Although, a do-nothing servlet would probably solve the other problem of mapping welcome-files to index.action. -Wes On Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 8:36 AM, Struts Two struts...@yahoo.ca wrote: I have mentioned this before in another thread that Struts2 is breaking Servlet specification 2.4 in this regard, but have heard no comment on it which means two things either I have a point or I am way off. In Servlet specification 2.4 filters are not supposed to be accessed directly as a resource. And anything other than a jsp page need to have a Servlet mapping in order to make it accessible (as per specification). Struts 1 had ActionServlet to which *.action or *.do mapping was done. This sort of deviation from sped is causing some folks issues when it comes to using some appservers that follow the spec and you have to resort to all sort of hacks to get around it. --- On Wed, 10/7/09, Arthur Neves arthu...@gmail.com wrote: From: Arthur Neves arthu...@gmail.com Subject: Re: Servlet filter as front controller To: Struts Users Mailing List user@struts.apache.org Received: Wednesday, October 7, 2009, 11:57 PM With the filter struts2 can intercept all request.

Re: Custom Property Tag
I did something similar, but I used s:if as an example. Rather than
show or not show in a s:property tag-like setup, i felt like s:if did
the job much better. If you want an example, check out
core/src/main/java/org/apache/struts2/views/jsp/IfTag.java
core/src/main/java/org/apache/struts2/views/freemarker/tags/IfModel.java
core/src/main/java/org/apache/struts2/components/If.java
Then, check out the pom.xml file for a clue how to use the annotations
you'll see in there to generate a TLD file for the tag. Also, the
views/freemarker thing isn't necessary, but if you plan to use
Freemarker, you'll have to create a freemarker template manager (which
is pretty simple, check the source of the bean that the
struts-default.xml defines for an example).

I need to show certain fields to certain users based on permissions
(per-user). I was going to create a custom s:property tag, which would
access an IUser object on the value stack. In the tag, it will do:
If (getUser().canAccess('property_name'))
Then
Render the tag/value
Else
Render nothing
I cannot figure out how exactly to get the user object on the value stack,
and which file contains the property tag implementation. Could someone
suggest where to start?
Thanks,
Mike.

Re: ognl problem with double value in form
Which version of struts are you using? We updated the OGNL dependency
between 2.1.6 2.1.8, so if this is a bug with the new version we'll
have to address it. If it's a problem with an old version, try
updating to 2.1.8 jars.

BUT, it properly converts all non-zero values without complaint and even
converts the empty string to 0.0!
Is there some way I can get OGNL to accept the 0 and 0.0 values?
