There are 3 (!) articles about Struts in the recent issue of Oracle
Magazine (Jan/Feb 2003). The most recent Linux Magazine also has a Struts
article (the whole issue has a Java and Linux focus). It always helps to
have these references around to convince management that Struts is a good
strategic
For your information, Ed Hill has graciously allowed a small team of
interested developers to take over maintenance and update of the displaytag
code. The team is in the process of collating patches and updates Ed has on

As a Struts-based application developer and project manager living in Bend

select 1 from dual is the standard way to ping oracle for a valid
connection. I would also recommend using Oracle's connection pool. It will
do this in the background. We have several tomcat and struts applications
running for weeks without problems. Even with Oracle going off line for

My pleasure. Here is the relevant code in the struts-config.xml file:

There are also the ant tasks in the catalina-ant.jar (or something close)
file that is distributed with tomcat. This makes for some easy integration

I have been thinking about it this off and on for a while. It seems to me
that SOAP (or xml-rpc or ...) would be another access point into the
business logic of the application that is a peer to the access point
provided by a Struts-based layer. The Struts-based components provide the
mechanism
a response from a Forward that formed a SOAP

Here is an example of a body content JSP (nested in a template jsp) that
pulls a Collection bean from the request context (a ResultList from the
Scaffold Struts library). This bean, called listBean, provides and

One tactic I have used is to create a singleton data access class (e.g.
DataCache) which provides methods that return data as beans (not action
form beans). The DataCache class gets initialized in a Struts plug-in.
Plug-ins execute once when the application starts and once when it shuts
down, and
Since it took me several hours to catch this bug, I thought I might pass it

The OracleDatSource and OraclePooledConnectionDataSource classes use
standard Bean naming conventions for getters and setters. The url property,

For what it is worth, I use several web applications with Oracle as the
backend database. The ping query that I have used for a long time (since
JDBC 1.0 days) with Oracle is select 1 from dual.

Does someone have a good example of using a Struts PlugIn with PlugIn
properties they would be willing to share. I tried to follow the code in
the Tiles PlugIn but this seemed to be overly complex for what I need.
Thanks,

I spent much of yesterday using Google to glean information about
configuring Struts (w/ Tomcat in my case) to use a datasource. As Eddie
Bush points out in a prior post options for initializing a datasource (with
or without a connection pool) include:
1. Tomcat JNDI service via server.xml;
2.
Excellent. Thanks. I placed an order for the book (and several others) last
week. I look forward to the additional material.
