Sounds like tomato = to-may-to = to-mah-to to me (i.e., personal preference).  In one 
case you have to maintain tags which are customized.  In the other case you have to 
maintain simple scriplet which is customized.

Re: Struts officially supported at Ford

I didn't read anything in the quote the mentioned v1.1b2.  It sounds to me like maybe 
IBM has tailored whatever beta version they started with to the point where they want 
their developers to use that as their common base.

Yes, you understand me correctly.  An example might be:

<%-- disabled (readonly) checkbox --%>

Re: Making a Form non-editable

[Mark Lepkowski]

We have a field that at times needs to be non-editable but displayed and other times 
editable independent of user role.  

To accomplish that we use a  tag to determine which to display the 
active inputs or the read-only display with hidden inputs.  If we're displaying 
read-only, then we carry the actual values in a  tag and disable the 
corresponding  tag (e.g., checkbox)...

Re: Struts and Websphere

We've had success using Tomcat v3.3.1 and Struts 1.0.2 for development, and then 
testing/production on WAS v3.5.x and WAS v4.0.  We probably won't try Struts v1.1 
until it goes into production status.

Re: [OT] Date format

RE: [OT] Date formatWith SimpleDateFormat you specify the format as a String.  You 
surely should be able to display that string.
  What I am looking for is how to display the *format*, and not how to 
  display a date in a given format. (snip)

  Hi, 

  Please excuse me for the off-topic question, I need this urgently, so 
  posting it. 

  How can I get the current date format? (style: DateFormat.SHORT, locale: 
  Default) 

  I used: 

  SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat() ; 
  String format = formatter.toPattern() ; 

  It gives: 

  M/d/yy hh:mm a 

  But what I want is *only* the date part, excluding the time part of it.

Is Tomcat v3.3.1 sufficient for Struts v1.1 (we need to use a Tomcat engine that's

Re: reset doesn't work well

[Mark Lepkowski]

In my experience, the reset condition is the state that the form was in when it was 
loaded.  So if you have a checkbox set when the form is loaded, uncheck it, and click 
[Reset], the checkbox becomes checked again.

Thanks for the info.  I knew there had to be something in the servlet scope, but 
didn't know quite where to find it.  The following works in any of our classes that 
extend Action:

servlet.getServletContext().setAttribute( "myAttribute", myAttribute );

and likewise

MyAttribute myAttribute = (MyAttribute)servlet.getServletContext().getAttribute( 
"myAttribute" );

I noticed that:
- "servlet" is declared a protected "transient" ActionServlet in ActionServletWrapper, 
- ActionForm has the getter method for the wrapper,
- RequestUtils.populate() calls the getter,
- ActionServlet calls RequestUtils.populate()

What I don't follow is how the servlet object is exposed in the Action subclasses.

How do you get session A information available to session B without persisting it 
somehow (the HttpSessionContext interface is depracated in Java Servlet API v2.1for 
security reasons...)?
  Struts will not itself reuse form bean instances across sessions (although
  your application could copy one if it really wanted to).

You could have the user enter the meta data first, and then after it's validated let

  Subject: Struts file upload validation problem


  I have just written a document upload tool for a customer using the struts
  upload functionality.  My upload jsp consists of one form that is of course
  a multipart/form-data form.  The form consists of the file field along with
  other text fields where the user enters various information( owner, title,
  etc.) about the file to be uploaded.  The problem I'm having is that once
  you submit the form struts immediately starts uploading the file before any
  of the other data in the form is validated.  So, in my case, the user tries
  to upload a large file but enters invalid information for the other text
  fields.  Struts then uploads the file before validating the form data.  So
  when the user corrects their mistake they have to re-upload the file yet
  again.  Is it possible to have the form data validated before the file is
  uploaded?  I would rather not use javascript for error checking.  Any help
  is appreciated.  Thanks...

  Steve
