Re: Problems with Opera, Struts and Session Management?

[Michael McGrady]

This is an excellent suggestion.  I tried hard coding the value that 
layout1.layout should be giving and everything worked.  I also tried 
testing to see if layout1 was null, and it was.  Since layout1.layout is a 
value I want to use throughout the session, always, and is a value that is 
only used in the session, it seems that the session is the proper place to 
put this value.  I am setting the value of the default layout in 
application scope with a plugin.  Then, I am putting that value into a 
session Layout when people come on board.  They can then choose their own 
layout later, or their "host" can have prefigured the Layout for them.  The 
same site has multiple hosts with their own "guests".

With Opera, the Layout object referenced as layout1 here is not set in 
the session on my index page.  This difficulty is overcome by putting 
code in to log that the Layout object has been put into the session.
That mystifies me.  Any demystification chiefs on this one?
I'm still a bit confused. I'm guessing the NPE is coming from not being 
able to find the forward created by the layout1.layout + "_" + path 
section? Setting it up like:

String forwardName = layout1.layout + "_" + path;
log.debug( forwardname );
return new ActionForward( forwardName );
I'd be curious if that forwardName looks the same under all situations? 
Are you sure you are following the exact same steps for each browser after 
bouning the server? In otherwords, maybe you aren't getting the NPE on 
netscape/IE because you are having layout1.layout set into Session scope 
at some other point that you aren't doing when testing with Opera? Using 
Session vars for this seems a bit odd anyway. Could you avoid using 
layout1.layout as Session attribute?
