RE: Issue with registering/lookup of converters in ConvertUtils

Nitin, I just took another look into the beanutils classes: there are not only the static classes (e.g., ConvertUtils), but also corresponding non-static classes (e.g., ConvertUtilsBean). You could create a Hashmap with Locale as its key and the ConvertUtilsBean configured with the locale specific

[S1] No inheritance of validation properites?

I have a hierarchy of DynaValidatorForm beans. There is a form "Something" and subtypes "SpecialSomething1" and "SpecialSomething2". If I use validation and refer to the bean "Something" (to specify which general purpose properties should be validated), the validation does not work. I have to copy

BigDecimal in DynaActionForm "" instead of null

Hi, I have an DynaActionForm (using Struts 1) with several properties, all of type String. My business object is typed; one of its properties is a BigDecimal. To copy form data to the entity, I'm using BeanUtils.copyProperties. This works well, but in case of BigDecimals, there is a conversion err

[S2] How to separate Action from "FormBean"

I just took a look at the tutorials of Struts 2 today. As a Struts 1 user, I don't like form beans that mostly copy your business data beans. In Struts 2, you don't need form beans anymore, but the tutorial states that you have to implement an execute() method into your business bean. Actually, wha

Re: Data security

No, I mean that I am a user and log in as usual. I can see that my orders have id's such as 5, 10 and 42. Now I trick a little bit and send another id, say 41 (which is an order of another user), and without a check the action would show me this order. What's the best way to avoid this situation?

Data security

Hi, The question I have is not purely specific to Struts, but I expect that it's a common problem for Struts users. Suppose you have a web application which is a shop. You have several users, each of which can have orders, accounting details, etc. Now a user logs in and you store the the user obje

How to reduce redundant form code in JSPs?

Hi, My application consists of several forms, all following a common style. Each form is rendered using a table. This results in the following code for each field: The only variations are the name of the field ("xxx" in the snippet) as well as the field type (in most cases html:t

Best practive for request attributes with validation?

Happy new year to everyone! In my application, I'm putting some attributes into the request that are used by the JSP. The approach works fine, but when I have a form and the validation fails, the input JSP is redisplayed but lacking the former request attributes. My current workaround is to put th

Dariusz, Thanks for your help - this works. The filter approach is very convenient (you don't even need to cast the request to a HttpServletRequest) and now all special characters are submitted correctly! Cheers, Thorsten - To

Problems with special characters in an ActionForm

Hi, I have a simple action form where users can enter texts, including special characters such as German umlauts. If a user enters "müller" in the text field, I only get "müller" from the actionform. I assume that there is a problem with the encoding, but I don't know how I can resolve it. The a
