RE: Where Is the Best Place To Store Files?

Hi, Carline. You answered the question already. As a database is out of the question, and the files must be downloadable (no database, no WEB-INF subdirectory) you need the filesystem, preferrable inside your webapp but outside of WEB-INF. Just pick a directory. If your superior does not

RE: Where Is the Best Place To Store Files?

Hi, guys. Calm down a bit. The original question never said that these files need to be uploaded by the client, or did I miss that bit? All I know is there are readonly files that need to be served via HTTP without access restriction and are already there at deployment time so a database is not

RE: i18n and nbsp;

Hi, Joe. I'd rather not add any non breaking spaces to the messages. You don't know how long a message might become (typically each language needs another amount of words to express the same, and english is pretty short compared to others). The problem you actually have is a layout problem,

RE: Load-on-startup init servlet

Hi, Denis. To get your servlet loaded after the Struts ActionServlet, simply use load-on-startup2load-on-startup (assumed that your ActionServlet is loaded with load-on-startup1load-on-startup=. This simply tells Tomcat to load your servlet after the ActionServlet. Hiran

RE: textbox format date i18n date handling

Hi, Tim. This is right. But also make sure the locale dependent date parsing is done in the action class then, since - I'm not sure whether the validator package can cover localized dateformats - only the controller classes know about the user's locale and therefore the dateformat that should

Internationalizing a Struts project

Hi there. I'm working on i18n of a Struts based project. All references I find about this topic deal with using messages depending on the user's locale. Has anyone ever experienced problems with national special characters (such as currency symbols for sterling or euro? Hiran

RE: Enhancement requests

Hi, Joe. I also need an enhancement of Struts. Up to now I did not discuss this on any list since the need for enhancement came up just two days ago. What I have up to now is a patched version of a Struts class, which means I can no longer live with the standard struts release. My enhancement

RE: Internationalizing a Struts project

Hi, Craig. You hit the bull's eye. No I claim this not only to be a JSP/Servlet problem. The way you describe will cause the browser to encode all form data with UTF-8. Unfortunately the servlet container (Tomcat in my case) does not know about this. To obtain the correct parameter values,

RE: Special Character

Hi, Jain. Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] contentType=text/html;charset=UTF-8% to set a HTTP header that tells the browser how special characters are transferred. Most probably you then get the correct display. If that is not sufficient, check the fonts your browser is configured to use. Hiran

RE: Cannot create ActionForm

Hi, Sebastian. Seems like Struts cannot create an instance of your FileForm class. Something must be wrong during (class) construction. Do your log files reveal some more information? Hiran - Hiran Chaudhuri SAG Systemhaus GmbH Elsenheimer Straße 11

RE: Cannot create ActionForm

Hi, Sebastian. It looks like the call to new FileForm() throws an exception. Have a look at your Tomcat logfiles. There might be more information about the JSP compiler failing. If that is not the case, check that the class exists (class name/package name). If it is the first instantiation in

RE: Cannot create ActionForm

Hi, Sebastien. This might be caused since Struts logs what bean it created and is going to populate. Turn off the RequestProcessor's log4j category and the call to toString() should be gone. Hiran - Hiran Chaudhuri SAG Systemhaus GmbH Elsenheimer Straße

RE: How to configure Tomcat/Struts ... error messages are sent to a file, not the console?

Hi, O. Check the configuration of the log facility actually in use (commons-logging can use several). Most probably this is log4j. Then have a look at the log4j configuration, which can be done with a log4j.properties file. Changes in this file and restarting your application should be all you

RE: How to configure Tomcat/Struts ... error messages are sent to a file, not the console?

Your log4j configuration probably uses a consoleappender. Change this to be a fileappender instead, and you are done. This document describes the configuration of log4j in short: http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html To see what appenders are available in log4j, see

RE: Tracing action dispatching

RE: Internationalizing a Struts project

RE: Internationalizing a Struts project

Hi, Jason. Have you tried using setCharacterEncoding(...)? For me on Tomcat 4.1.30 it showed no result at all, and other solutions available on the web state that setCharacterEncoding should work but has problems on many servlet containers. Therefore all I found refers to creating new strings

RE: Internationalizing a Struts project

Hi, Jason. Before I had tried to use request.setCharacterEncoding(UTFß8) in a JSP (independent from Struts) and that did not work. Now I tried using a filter, as you suggest, and it works like a charm. No more need to patch RequestUtils, and I can also monitor and write warnings if the

Also sounds good. Especially the decoupling of a resource location and usage is what Struts tries to do with actions and forwards etc. I see this pattern reused in your idea. Plus the possibility of sharing resources. I like this idea. Hiran - Hiran

RE: Localization

Hi, Freddy. - Use string properties in your for bean. - If you use the validation framework, check whether that supports different number formats (for dates it does) - parse the number according to the user's locale in your action class and pass that double on to your delegate Hiran

RE: Q: Switching Modules

Hi, Jean. Maybe I missed a bit, but do you not always have page flow coded in JSP AND Action classes? In the action the server decides what to do with user input and what page to go next. This page will be presented to the user. There may be several buttons on it allowing the user to choose

RE: Where Is the Best Place To Store Files?

Hi, Caroline. Does your application use a database? If yes, is that capable of storing binary data? I'd go for this, since what you want to store looks like user data, and I'd like to have transactionality and backups for that. If not, you might pick a directory inside your web application, but
