Re: struts 1.2.9 and cancel button

[Alberto A. Flores]

By the way, have you considered using Struts 1.3.8? I have code 
(currently) that works just fine and that does what you need (forward to 
a *.do on cancel).

Clearly, you don't need to upgrade right now (you can handle your use 
case in your method controller), however it's worth considering since 
1.3.8 solves a lot bugs and security fixes.

I've hardly ever went right to a JSP page and this seems to be pretty common 
from the Struts Apps I've seen.
I'd say after the action has been processed it would be a good idea to clear it 
from the request like you said.

Unless you actually have processing to do, there's no reason to forward to
/landingPage.do. You should be forwarding straight to your JSP or Tile
instead.

The problem here is because you are chaining actions within one request. I
don't know if it is a bug for Struts not to reset the cancel token after an
action. I believe it's the request that's canceled, not the action, but
there's probably a good argument for your expectation.

Alright I found the problem and if you ask me it is a bug with struts
request processor.
It does read in the cancellable on the action for the page I press the
cancel button on, skips validation, hits the action and I see it.
Now when I return my forward I'm going to a /landingPage.do
Now the request processor is hit again and it still hits
request.getAttribute(Globals.CANCEL_KEY) but since the landing page
doesn't have cancellable in the mapping you get the exception.

If you ask me once it checks request.getAttribute(Globals.CANCEL_KEY) it
should remove it from the request.

I fixed it by adding <set-property property="cancellable" value="true"/>
to the landing mapping but but I don't think you should have to do that
since it was already processed once by the request processor.

Have you attempted to set a breakpoint in the Controller and step
through
the cancellable check?

And there is only one defined in the struts config.

Can you confirm that your form is pointing to the right path?

Also, check that you are not overriding the same path (in struts
config)
with a similar path <action path="..."/> are overrideable.

How can this be?  It is in the struts-config.xml under the right
action.

I wonder if it is because we are using ValidatorPlugin or
LookupDispatchAction.

Seems like it isn't getting past the validations so it never gets to
the
action:

2007,org.apache.struts.action.InvalidCancelException

org.apache.struts.action.InvalidCancelException,,,,,,,,,E,,,,000000003,,

I verified it was the right action, the one in the JSP form matches
the
action config in the struts config.

Did you add <set-property> to the correct action mapping?

but we are still getting a
org.apache.struts.action.InvalidCancelException



We're using the validator plugin.

We added <set-property property="cancellable" value="true"/>

And

<exception key="button.cancel"

type="org.apache.struts.action.InvalidCancelException"
                  path="ourAction.do?action=open"/>

where button.cancel is the resource bundle key that gets displayed
for
the button.



It appears from the stack trace that validations are still being
called.
Any help would be appreciated.
