Re: Eliminate Setup Actions
If your app is using tiles, take a look at Tile controllers. http://struts.apache.org/api/org/apache/struts/tiles/Controller.html The controller will get called right before rendering the jsp, allowing you to put your info into the request.

Re: why complicate? was: Eliminate Setup Actions
I really like the idea of adding the *setup_definitions* (whatever they are eventually called) to the forward elements in struts-config. To me, this would be the most logical place to add them. This means that they (the setup methods) would only be processed when it's 100% sure that we are going to process this particular forward. It also allow a mapping to have several forwards defined. It could also apply to global forwards. Another thought, what about redirecting forwards? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Validator with more than one module
By adding a comma separated list of struts config files, you are not specifying multiple *modules*, just multiple config files. ValidatorResources are stored in the ServletContext after being read by the plugin. So, when struts-config-two is read, it overwrites the info stored for struts-config-one. To specify multiple modules you need to declare in the ActionServlet init params something like this... config /WEB-INF/struts-config-one.xml config/module1 /WEB-INF/struts-config-two.xml Corey This link describes both ways (multiple config files and modules)... http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/configuration.html > I'm trying to use the validator with one that more Struts module, but > I've found that if you've more than one module, only one of them load > the validation xmls correctly, the others don't. > > Having this in the web.xml > > /WEB-INF/struts-config-one.xml, /WEB-INF/struts-config-two.xml: - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There's a method in the static PropertyUtils class. Also, look at the same method in PropertyUtilsBean.

Re: Load message resources from DB???
> Even if I could just get some general directions on what method to pull the > data in, and what method to put the data into what type of container. > Just something would be good. I think I remember reading a post about this before. Start by looking at the PropertyMessageResources source code, specifically, the loadLocale and getMessage methods. This is where the properties are read from the file (for that implementation). You can probably extend that class and load the messages from a database by overriding one of those methods (loadLocale). You would also need a method to clear the cache of messages when they are updated. (Be careful in a clustered environment) On second thought you can probably just extend MessageResources and implement the getMessage method. Hope that helps... even if it's just a little bit.

Re: accessing session variables in java Bean(In business logic Layer)
I don't know of a way to access the session from your business logic other than passing it in as a parameter (which I would *NOT* recommend). Even if you could access it, you would be tying the business layer to the servlet api, which is what you are trying to avoid by not passing the session directly. Take a look at ThreadLocal, I've never used it but it should do what you want. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/ThreadLocal.html You would set it somewhere at the beginning of the request and then it would be available as long as the thread stays alive. Someone correct me if this is not a good idea or won't work Hope it helps.

The properties file is loaded using a ClassLoader.

You can define different properties files for different locales. This way, you externalize these strings. The file that gets loaded depends on the locale that is set. You could create a globalResources_es.properties file for Spain. This would contain all of your messages in Spanish. Then when the Locale was set to Spain these messages would be loaded instead of your default messages. -- Corey - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can extend the ControllerSupport concrete class and override the execute() method instead. That seems to work but I'd like to hear it from somebody who knows for sure.

Why would a > method be both depreciated and required? Well, what I get from the javadocs is that, by doing it this way you won't be affected when the perform method is actually removed. The ControllerSupport class will only have the execute method in future releases. This leaves your implementation un-broken in future releases and leaves those that use the old way backwards compatible today.

Even if you are using a version prior to this you should still use ActionMessage for future considerations.
