Following Thanksgiving and the season of gratitude, this time of year is especially good to take stock, and then to start the New Year with new growth and new hope. I don't know if you have heard this before, but I like the explanation of what the eye of the needle was when Jesus made the comparison between a camel going through the eye of the needle and a rich man going to heaven. The gates of towns in those regions and East were open in the day and closed at night. In the gate itself was another thin and short gate, which was called the eye of the needle. For a camel to get through the smaller gate, the camel had to disgorge its baggage, load, etc. and then to get on its knees. Thus, the whole point is not that redemption is impossible, but that redemption is impossible without humility. I think that will be my goal this year: to become truly humble, which I am, whether I realize it or not. Cheers, Micael Amen, from the agnostic.

Need advice on implementing a view
I am builing a sort of reservation system using struts. I have all the components in place for CRUD and all is fine. The bosses, however, also want a big overview app. Basically it will be a big grid with a visual representaion of the reserved objects and the current population for each object. The overview does not need to tell you _who_ is resevered, just _how many_ people are curently occupying the obect. I already have views for the oject level operations. If there were 30-40 object this would be no big deal to me but we are talking about 250 objects and I am wondering how I represent all of them on the same web page. My other thought was that this might be a job for a dedicated swing app that could poll/refresh the data via an Action class.

Passing an (Dyna)ActionForm to the business object
I know I have probably violated MVC by doing this but while trying to find an elegant solution to passing field values between my Action classes and my Model Classes I went ahead and passed the whole darn DyaActionForm (daf) to my Model class: Why did I got to the dark side? It was so convenient to only have to add/remove fields in one class (and in struts-config.xml). I am working with a massive form that is in flux and editing 2 classes all the time was slowing me down: // The Old way: the force in myAction: DynaActionForm daf = (DynaActionForm) acForm ; myModel mym = new myModel(); String firstname = (String) daf.get(fname); String lastname = (String) daf.get(lname) ; String street = (String)daf.get(street) ; String city = (String)daf.get(city) ; String state = (String)daf.get(state) ; myModel.doBusiness(firstname, lastname,street,city,state); then in myModel: PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement(qstr); pstmt.setString(1,(String)daf.get(firstname)); pstmt.setString(2,(String)daf.get(lastname)); pstmt.setString(3,(String)daf.get(street)); pstmt.setString(4, (String)daf.get(city)); pstmt.setString(5, (String)daf.get(state)); // the New Way: the dark side now I can just do: myModel mym = new myModel(); myModel.doBusiness(daf); Yes, in myModel class I still have to break out daf.getXXX but at least now all thefields can be managed from one place and less prone to mismached case/spelling (for me anyway) than it was before.

Although it may seem like splitting hairs because (in your case) the same
object instance is passed to the doBusiness method, there's a huge
architectural/design difference between:
public class myModel {
public void doBusiness(DynaActionForm data) {
...
}
}
and:
public class myModel {
public void doBusiness(DynaBean data) {

I suppose another possibility would be to use BeanUtils.describe or
PropertyUtils.describe (not sure which is preferred) to generate a Map to pass
to the doBusiness method. Either describe method can deal with a DynaBean.
This is cool. I will give it a whirl.

I guess the easiest thing to do would be to write code in my acton class that basically makes jdbc calls to both databases and do a jdbc get -set between them. I would not need any model beans in this case. Till now I've been kind of proud of the fact that I have not put any jdbc code or any real business logic in any of my action classes. But in this situation every other way I know seems like overkill. Scenario 1 : jdbc is done in the model classes that contain methods that can do everything from manipulating jdbc to storing value. In this scenario the ActionClass is just a staging area for the transfer. ActionClass + (db_A_ModelBean - db_B_ModelBean ) Scenario 2 : jdbc is done in the ActionClass and the ModelBeans are really only value beans copyProperties() comes to mind in this situation ActionClass + (db_A_ValueBean - db_B_ValueBean ) Scenario 3 : Break everything out to granular compoments. Action class does nothing but calls and passes data between utility beans that do the jdbc work and value beans that just hold values via get/set. ActionClass + ((db_A_UtilityBean - db_A_ValueBean ) - (db_B_ValueBean - db_B_UtilityBean )) Which is the best method, are there better suggestions?

Yes, I should have qualified my review by saying that this is more geared toward the total struts newbie (like I was/am). The Validator framework and other new stuff was not included.

I found Chuck preview invaluable and highly anticipate getting my copy but his book seems to be more geared toward the experienced user (moving from 1.0x to 1.1x) I welcome both to my bookshelf and look forward to browsing the other new books as well.

I highly recomend Mastering Jakarta Struts by James Goodwill. It breaks all the struts components and proceeds to build a sample application for you step by step. The last chapers deal with the jakarta tag libraries in detail with an example for each tag. That alone made it worth it for me. Before goodwill's book came out, I had purchased JSP and Tag libraries for Web Development(de Silva). It is mostly about creating taglibs but 3 chapters are dedicated to Struts, but strictly the 1.0 version stuff.

How do you use the DyanActionForm in the action classes. I saw 2 different examples in the archive, neither of which worked for me. DynaActionFormClass dafc = DynaActionFormClass.getDynaActionFormClass(AddUserForm); DynaActionForm myForm = dafc.newInstance(); gives me this compile error: AddUserAction.java [48:1] incompatible types found : org.apache.commons.beanutils.DynaBean required: org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm line 48 : DynaActionForm myForm = dafc.newInstance(); What is the official way?

using tiles and j_security_check
Hello, I am using tomcat's realm authentication to protect my struts 1.1 app. The actual form is constructed using tiles. This works fine for the most part but occasionaly I will submit the login form and get stuck at a blank page with a url of http:/mysite/j_security_check Usually I have to retry it a few times and then it will work. Has anyone seen this behavior? Should I feed tiles a plain html and not use tiles for that? I am also looking to see if this could be some kind of session problem.

I think I will go for JSP Site Design, thanks for that. OK, it's time for me to get real basic here. I want to make the ulimate Hello MVC Struts app from scratch as a learning exercise and for a tutorial that I will freely post and give away. Platform: tomcat 4.01 , struts 1.1 with included tiles. Dev tools: forte for java 4.0 CE and emacs when I get tired of the GUIs. Goal:to make a mvc struts app so basic that a beginner can understand the basic structure of the framework. all it has to do is display You are learning well on a web page if you login sucessfully or take users to an error page if login is not sucessfull. For simplicity, the username and passwd can be stored in a local file. The old jsp designer in me would plan out a series of web pages that would execute JSP applications in a linear fashion or all on one page (yes, the dreaded embedded scriptlet code in one jsp page). I now know that the logic needs to be separated into a bean(taglib?) I've seen all the model 2 diagrams and understand how it all works in theory. But from a partical struts point of view I'm baffled by the naming conventions (everything is named Action*). Is my business logic supposed to be contained in a class, bean or taglib? I am new to taglib thing and I am looking for a good boook, online tutorial on that as well. So what is the first step, creating a struts-config file, writing the business logic class/bean/taglib or drawing a pretty visio diagram? Thanks in advance.
