Re: Please help....Struts 1.0.2b and JDK 1.4.2

2004-03-23 Thread Martin Cooper
You asked exactly the same question only 24 hours ago. Patience is a virtue.
;-)

Do you mean 1.0.2 beta? Wow, that's old! There is no reason that it
shouldn't, but I haven't run anything that old for some time now. I would
recommend upgrading to 1.1 anyway. :-)

Can anyone either confirm or deny if Struts 1.0.2b is compatible with
JDK 1.4.2?


Thanks a lot!

decided to explain detailedly and completely of what I did and hope you 
nice buddies can help me find the problem


goal: I want to submit an array of Fonbean(java class file listed below) to 
an action
strategy: I decide to use html:form and logic:iterate to do this

1.what I have in my configruation xml


type=com.mycom.form.TestBeanForm/



type=com.mycom.action.TestAction
name=testBeanForm

2.TestBeanForm.java

if(testBean==null)
{
testBean=new FontBean[2];
testBean[0]=new FontBean();
testBean[1]=new FontBean();
}
return testBean;
}

public void setTestBean(FontBean[] testBean) {
this.testBean = testBean;
}

FontBean[] testBean;
}


3. FontBean.java

public class FontBean {
public int getSize() {
return size;
}

public void setSize(int size) {
this.size = size;
}

public String getFontName() {
return fontName;
}

public void setFontName(String fontName) {
this.fontName = fontName;
}

private int size;
private String fontName;

}

4. my jsp file


type=com.mycom.bean.propertybean.FontBean id=mybean indexId=index1
indexed=true/

/* I think when I submit, the testBeanForm will automatically fill 
its testBean's elements of their fontName attributes with font1 */


Submit Changes



5.my action class file

public class TestAction extends Action {
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping actionMapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest servletRequest,
HttpServletResponse servletResponse) 
throws Exception
{
System.out.println(stepped into action);
TestBeanForm bform=(TestBeanForm)form;

/*I stopped here to check if the form has its testBean variable filled 
with
font1 of its fontName attribute, but it doesnt, the testBean of form is 
just the object I created in getTestBean(),that is, contains two elements, 
both the fontName attributes of the two elements are null */

return actionMapping.findForward(error);
}
}



so what on earth is the problem?

Thank you so much for your help. I started from scratch again this morning.  I created 
a new project in Eclipse and imported my files one by one double checking the 
directory structure each time. I also was sure to include the message resources tag in 
the struts-config.xml file. This resolved my problem. Thanks again for your help and 
good -bye to that nasty error message :-)

I think you are missing this :

!-- = Resource Settings
--
message-resources parameter=resources.application  null=false/
!-- 
--

Where  resources is the directory within WEB-INF and
application.properties is the properties file. 

You may put the null = true to get null value if there is a message
missing. I personally prefer false as I can catch any errors that may
not have been defined in the properties file 

Put this after the  /action-mapping tag in struts-config.xml and see
if it works.

Hehe, dont let trolls like me scare you away from asking questions. ;-)
The struts list is actually one of the friendliest and helpful mailing lists
there is.

Actually I think that this question comes up quite a bit on the list. Im not
sure of the answer myself, but a search of the archives will probably turn
up some helpful posts.

The archives can be found at:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/eyebrowse/SummarizeList?listId=42

But Ive always found that one a pain to search, so Id suggest trying the
copy at MARC:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=struts-userr=1w=2

hmmm.

do you have a message-resources/ element entry in your struts-config.xml?

Yours resources is in  the package com.struts.rs.resources? (and I presume
its in that directory structure under your WEB-INF/classes)

What happens if you set

message-resources
parameter=com.struts.rs.resources.ApplicationResources/

in struts config?

(This goes after the controller/ element in the struts config, which comes
after the action-mappings/)

Here is a snippet of some tutorial I am working on that might help.

DynaActionForms are universally loved and hated. In teaching, consulting
Struts and developing with Struts, I have found that DynaActionForms are
either embraced or rejected. The idea behind DynaActionForms is that instead
of creating an ActionForm per form, you instead configure an ActionForm per
form.

Advantages of DynaActionForms:
Some folks feel creating an ActionForm class for each HTML form in your
Struts application is time-consuming, causes maintenance problems, and is
frustrating. With DynaActionForm classes you don't have to create an
ActionForm subclass for each form and a bean property for each field.
Instead you configure an DynaActionForm its properties, type, and defaults
in the Struts configuration file.

 snip

To configure a DynaActionForm in struts-config.xml, you use a form-bean
element as with normal ActionForm. The type of the form bean must be
org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm or a derived class. You then add
form-property elements to declare the properties of the form.

To use a DynaActionForm add the following to form-beans element (example):
 form-bean name=userRegistrationDynaForm
   type=org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm

 form-property name=userName
type=java.lang.String /
 form-property name=email
type=java.lang.String /
 form-property name=password
type=java.lang.String /
 form-property name=passwordCheck
type=java.lang.String /
 form-property name=firstName
type=java.lang.String /
 form-property name=lastName
type=java.lang.String /
 form-property name=phone
type=java.lang.String
initial=(520) /
 form-property name=fax type=java.lang.String /
 form-property name=page
  type

I am still confused...

I have a jsp that provides text fields for user to
fill out information.  All the information is passed
via HttpRequest and to be validated.  And all the
properties in my PostForm are populated by the
information retrieved from those text fields.

And my PostForm is of
type=org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm

Therefore, in my PostForm.java, I should do something
like this?  I just do not think the following code is
correct.

public class PostForm extends DynaValidatorForm  {

private String sender;

public void set(String receiver, String receiver);
public void set(String sender, String sender);

receiver);
public String get(String sender, String sender); 
}

  I think that there are a lot more mistakes in my
 code
  than I originally thought.  The root of the
 problem is
  that I do not know how to use DynaValidatorForm. 
 If
  you could help me in learning how to code when I
 am
  working with DynaValidatorForm.  
  
  1. in my struts-config.xml, I have:
  
   form-bean
  name=postForm 
   
 

type=org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm
form-property
  name=receiver
  type=java.lang.String/
form-property
  name=sender
  type=java.lang.String/
.
.
  /form-bean
  
  2. My PostForm.java is like:
  
  import
 org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm;
  import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
   
  public class PostForm extends DynaValidatorForm  {
   
  private String receiver;
  private String sender;
  ..
  
  public void setReceiver( String receiver )
  {
  this.receiver = receiver;
  }
  public void setSender( String sender ) 
  {
  this.sender = sender;
  }
  public String getReceiver() 
  {
  return receiver;
  }
  public String getSender() 
  {
  return sender;
  }
  .
  .
  }
  
  3. in my action class (see the code below)
  
  3.1. do I cast the form to DynaActionForm? or I
 should
  cast the form to DynaValidatorForm?
  
  3.2. Can I use the copyProperties() method of the
  BeanUtils to convert the form to a bean?
  
 BeanUtils.copyProperties

RE: Please Help - ClassCastException

2004-01-04 Thread Joe Hertz
Not at all.

First off, set(String, String) is predefined for you. You don't need to 
create any of that. In fact, what you will find in a DynaValidatorForm is 
that your form classes start to get very sparse. Here's really what it could 
look like.


public class PostForm extends BaseDynaForm {


  public void reset(ActionMapping actionMapping, HttpServletRequest 
httpServletRequest) {
// throw new UnsupportedOperationException(Method is not 
implemented);
}

public PostForm () {
   }


}

In your ActionForm itself, beanUtils would work something like this. All you 
need is to get the right formBean object. 

  public ActionForward  execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, 
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {

PostForm pForm = (PostForm) form;

   // other code you write here

BeanUtils.copyProperties(yourBean, pForm);

// etc

Doing it yourself without beanUtils?

Instead of calling getSender() and having a String returned, you call get
(sender) and it will return an Object (cast it yourself to whatever type 
the sender form property really is). I made a base form class with a 
getString method that calls get() and does the String cast for me to save the 
tediom.

Making sense now?

This passage is straight from the struts javadoc
The key passed into the validator is the action element's 'name' attribute
from the struts-config.xml which should match the form element's name
attribute in the validation.xml
Take a peek at how to configure struts-config.xml at
http://www.reumann.net/do/struts/lesson3/step4
which details the form bean name
type (with the fully qualified package name)
and the column form-property

Re: Please Help - ClassCastException

Thank you for trying to help.  I have added  
import org.apache.artimus.message.PostForm; 
to my action class.  I do not fully follow what I
should check in the struts-config.xml file.  And
should I use name=postForm with lowercase 'p' or
uppercase 'P'?

In my struts-config.xml file, I have:

 form-bean

  form-property

RE: Please Help - ClassCastException

2004-01-03 Thread David Friedman
Here is what I see (opinions vary)...

I see you are defining your form bean in your struts-config.xml as type
'org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm'. So, why are you trying to
cast it as this 'org.apache.artimus.message.PostForm' class.  Does that
class extend DynaValidatorForm?  If it doesn't, you'll get a
ClassCastException like you're getting now.   Personally, I expected you to
cast it as:

DynaValidatorForm postForm = (DynaValidatorForm) form;

Or us it as-initially defined (not casting like above) and use BeanUtils
such as:
String receiver = (String) PropertyUtils.getSimpleProperty(form,
receiver);

Regards,
David

RE: Please Help - ClassCastException

2004-01-03 Thread Caroline Jen
I think that there are a lot more mistakes in my code
than I originally thought.  The root of the problem is
that I do not know how to use DynaValidatorForm.  If
you could help me in learning how to code when I am
working with DynaValidatorForm.  

1. in my struts-config.xml, I have:

 form-bean
name=postForm 
 
type=org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm
  form-property
name=receiver
type=java.lang.String/
  form-property
name=sender
type=java.lang.String/
  .
  .
/form-bean

2. My PostForm.java is like:

import org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
 
public class PostForm extends DynaValidatorForm  {
 
private String receiver;
private String sender;
..

public void setReceiver( String receiver )
{
this.receiver = receiver;
}
public void setSender( String sender ) 
{
this.sender = sender;
}
public String getReceiver() 
{
return receiver;
}
public String getSender() 
{
return sender;
}
.
.
}

3. in my action class (see the code below)

3.1. do I cast the form to DynaActionForm? or I should
cast the form to DynaValidatorForm?

3.2. Can I use the copyProperties() method of the
BeanUtils to convert the form to a bean?

   BeanUtils.copyProperties( threadBean, postForm );

import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm;

  int parentPostID;

  parentPostID = Integer.parseInt(
request.getParameter( parent ) );

  DynaActionForm postForm = ( DynaActionForm
)form;

  ThreadHandler thandler = new ThreadHandler();

  ThreadBean threadBean = new ThreadBean();
  BeanUtils.copyProperties( threadBean, postForm
);

  if (parentPostID == 0 ) // new topic
  {
 threadBean.setLastPostMemberName( memberName
);
 threadBean.setThreadCreationDate( now );
 .
 .
 
 threadID = thandler.insertThread( threadBean
);

  }
   ...
   ...
   }
}

4. the action mapping in my struts-config.xml is like:

RE: Please Help - ClassCastException

2004-01-03 Thread Joe Hertz
Well, first off:

In your (dyna) form, you don't create setters and getters for the properties 
though. With DynaForms you would say set(myPropertyName, myString) 
instead of calling setMyPropertyName(myString). This is the Dyna part of 
DynaForms. It's much less tedious IMHO.

In your action, you absolutely want to cast the form to PostForm. Otherwise 
the form variable has no way to know properties are associated with it. So 
yes, once you cast it to PostForm calls to BeanUtils.copyProperties() can and 
will work properly.

Hope this helps,

-Joe

And the error message points at the bean:define ...

C,

You can't nest tags as you did in the value attribute.
bean:define ... value=bean:write name=author/ /

The rest of the list will croak when I recommend that you use
%= author %
instead of
bean:write name=author/

Maybe they can tell you a fancy -el/JSTL way to do it. :)

 Maybe they can tell you a fancy -el/JSTL way to do it. :)

yes, if you use html-el:text instead then you should be able to use an el 
expression a'la:

html-el:text property=creator value=${author}/ size=82 
maxlength=25 tabindex=1/

you'll need something like this at the top of your jsp

%@ taglib uri=/WEB-INF/struts-html-el.tld prefix=html-el %

C,

You can't nest tags as you did in the value attribute.
bean:define ... value=bean:write name=author/ /

The rest of the list will croak when I recommend that you use
%= author %
instead of
bean:write name=author/

Hi, I tried and tried.  I cannot figure out the error.
 I need your sharp eyes and experience.  I keep
getting this error message in the browser:

ServletException in:/article/content/postForm.jsp]
/article/content/postForm.jsp(32,67) equal symbol
expected' 

This postForm.jsp had worked find before I inserted:

bean:define id=author name=cr scope=session 
type=java.lang.String/
html:text property=creator value=bean:write name=author/ 
size=82
maxlength=25 tabindex=1/

And the error message points at the bean:define ...
tag.  The statements are in ONE line (they do not
wrapped around) in my file.

cr is passed to the postForm.jsp in a session object
this way:

c:set var=cr value=${articleForm.creator} scope=session/ 

Thanks a lot.

Re: Please Help! Unable to Pass A Hidden Field To scaffold.ProcessAction

2003-12-09 Thread Adam Hardy
Hi Caroline,
have you checked the source of the HTML page in the browser to see what 
the value of username is, client-side? I expect the value is being sent 
to the browser as null.

If that is the case, it is because request.getRemoteUser() is returning 
null and that would be because you don't have or are losing your login 
session.

The value of the 'username' is found to be a 'null' in
the FindEditorData.java while the value of keyName is
successfully retrieved.  In the browser, I got:
name=null; kn=journal_category; kv=null 

The code of my FindEditorData is shown below:

   // Obtain username 
   String username = getUsername();
  
   EditorService service = new EditorService();

Rats, the thread broke, hence my other reply. Like everyone says, you 
need to check the return value of getRemoteUser() - try looking at the 
value of the hidden field in the HTML via IE's 'Show page source'.

RE: Please Help! Unable to Pass A Hidden Field To scaffold.Proces sAction

2003-12-09 Thread Caroline Jen
Hi, I think that we are in different time zones.

As you have mentioned, I, too, suspected that the
statement in my JSP:

request.getRemoteUser(); 

returns nothing.  Therefore, I did a test in my JSP. 
In addition to request.getRemoteUser(); I created
another String manually:

req:isUserInRole role=editor
% 
   String username = request.getRemoteUser(); 
   String userrole = author; 
%   
% out.println(The user name is:  + username +.);
%
% out.println(The role is:  + userrole +.); %
/req:isUserInRole

And the browser shows:

The user name is: Gloria Jen.  The role is: author. 

Gloria Jen is the name that I provided while logging
on and authenticated by the container.  Therefore, the
request.getRemoteUser(); does not return a null.  And
I hope that it means I am not passing a null value
when I use the hidden field technique.

Then, I pass two hidden fields (with value in them)
from my JSP to a Java class (FindEditorData.java),
which is of scaffold.ProcessAction type.  One of the
field is passed with its value correctly retrieved. 
The other field is passed with its value found to be
null.

What could go wrong?  I have been thinking about it
for days and so do those who try to help me.  

req:isUserInRole role=editor
html:form action=/find/Category
% 
   String username = request.getRemoteUser(); 
   String userrole = author; 
%   
%out.println(The user name is:  + username +.);%
%out.println(The role is:  + userrole +.);%
html:hidden property=keyName
value=journal_category/
html:hidden property=username
value=%=username%/
html:submitView Articles/html:submit
/html:form
/req:isUserInRole

 Imposible? Look at the HTML that is generated by the
 JSP page. I think you
 will see that it returns null.
 Take a look at the JavaDoc for
 HttpServletRequest.getRemoteUser();
 
 getRemoteUser
 public java.lang.String getRemoteUser()
 Returns the login of the user making this request,
 if the user has been
 authenticated, or null if the user has not been
 authenticated. Whether the
 user name is sent with each subsequent request
 depends on the browser and
 type of authentication. Same as the value of the CGI
 variable REMOTE_USER.
 
 Returns: a String specifying the login of the user
 making this request, or
 null 
 
 As the JavaDoc says: Whether the user name is sent
 with each subsequent
 request depends on the browser and type of
 authentication.  Are you using
 basic authentication or are you authenticating the
 user yourself?
 If you are doing it yourself (ie. through a db
 lookup) then the server
 doesn't know about the user being authenticated and
 will return null.

RE: Please Help! Unable to Pass A Hidden Field To scaffold.Proces sAction

2003-12-09 Thread Richard Yee
Caroline,
In your FindEditorData.java class, is the value for
your username variable null or null?  If it is null,
then you are reading the wrong request parameter since
request.getParameter() will return null if the
parameter doesn't exist. If the String value is
null, then you have a problem with getRemoteUser()
Why don't you dump request parameters that you are
getting in your FindEditorData?

Hidden input tags work fine.

RE: Please Help! Unable to Pass A Hidden Field To scaffold.Proces sAction

2003-12-09 Thread Caroline Jen
I followed your advice.  In the Bean.java, I did the
following:

private String username = natalie;
public String getUsername() {
return this.username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}

and I compiled all the relevant classes, re-run the
application, the FindEditorData.java writes out the
following in the browser:

The process did not complete. Details should follow. 
name=natalie; kn=journal_category; kv=null 

Now, the question is why the Bean.java does not pick
up the value of the hidden field 'username' from my
JSP while successfully picks up the value of the other
hidden field 'keyName'.

There is some data processing activities going on in
the FindEditorData.java:

   String username = getUsername();
   EditorService service = new EditorService();
   String value = service.findEditorData( username );

The above data accessing codes had been tested outside
the environment of the application (the codes did what
I expected them to do without problem) before they
were integrated into the application.

Caroline,
Are you having problems with the username or the keyName hidden variable? If
it is the username, then I'd suspect that request.getRemoteUser() in your
JSP is returning null.

Caroline,
Imposible? Look at the HTML that is generated by the JSP page. I think you
will see that it returns null.
Take a look at the JavaDoc for HttpServletRequest.getRemoteUser();

getRemoteUser
public java.lang.String getRemoteUser()
Returns the login of the user making this request, if the user has been
authenticated, or null if the user has not been authenticated. Whether the
user name is sent with each subsequent request depends on the browser and
type of authentication. Same as the value of the CGI variable REMOTE_USER.

Returns: a String specifying the login of the user making this request, or
null 

As the JavaDoc says: Whether the user name is sent with each subsequent
request depends on the browser and type of authentication.  Are you using
basic authentication or are you authenticating the user yourself?
If you are doing it yourself (ie. through a db lookup) then the server
doesn't know about the user being authenticated and will return null.

Richard

Did you check the result of getRemoteUser(). Does it return null or null? 
If so, it's not a problem with your hidden form variables,.

Caroline,
Why are you passing the result of request.getRemoteUser() in a hidden 
variable anyway since it is available as part of the HttpRequest and thus 
will be available in the action class?

RE: Please Help! Unable to Pass A Hidden Field To scaffold.Proces sAction

2003-12-08 Thread Caroline Jen
I must pass the result of request.getRemoteUser()
because it is a Java class that receives the
hidden field.  If you read my code carefully, you will
see that FindEditorData.java is a Java class and I
cannot use 'request' or 'session' in a Java class.  It
takes a servlet or a class extends Action to use
'request' or 'session'.

But, this class is of ProcessAction type defined in
the struts-config.xml:

action
roles=editor
path=/find/Category
   
type=org.apache.struts.scaffold.ProcessAction
   
parameter=org.apache.artimus.article.FindEditorData
name=articleForm
scope=request
validate=false
   forward
name=success
path=.article.Result/
/action

And, it is easy to see that I use container-managed
authentication.  In my JSP, there is req:isUserInRole
role=editor before reaching % String
username=request.getRemoteUser(); % Again, I have
provided my code:
req:isUserInRole role=editor
html:form action=/find/Category
% String username = request.getRemoteUser(); %

Re: Please Help!!! A Validation Rule Fail On A Second-Page Causes A Blank Page To Show Up

2003-10-31 Thread Kam Lung Leung
Hi Ted,

Thank you for your time in helping me out. After your email message I 
take a hard look at the jsp file and can not find what was wrong with it.
The secondPage.jsp is almost the same as the firstPage.jsp. When
I move all the code from the secondPage.jsp to the firstPage.jsp the 
validation process went fine. All fields are validated by the validator.
I have given up the hope to create a multipage form for now. And by the way 
I have purchased the Struts In Actions book along with other three books 
on the same subject. But there was not must information on multipage form. 
Do you have any suggestion on book that I may find some complete example 
on multi page form. To answers your your question about why do I reset all 
input fields to its original state when the getPage() is equal to 2 is that 
I only have two pages,firstPage.jsp and secondPage.jsp, each page would set the
page number to 0 and 1 correspondingly. I set the page to 2 in the action
class when the secondPage.jsp was executed. Then I call the form's reset method
to clear all the fields before the control goes back to the firstPage.jsp. I
guest you are right about removing the form bean should be good enough to remove
all attributes in form for both pages.

Thank again.

 Are you sure that it's blank? Sometimes the page doesn't render because 
 of errors in the HTML, which might only be exposed when the page is 
 trying to display error messages.
 
 I'm not sure why you would reset everything if getPage() is equal to 2. 
 The usual approach is to allow the properties to accumulate, until the 
 end of the workflow, and then dispose of the (session-scoped ActionForm 
 altogether. Generally, the only thing you ever need to reset is a 
 checkbox to false on a session-scope ActionForm.

  Hi,
  
  I have been looking at this problem for the last four days and can't
figure
  out. I have an application that required workflow form. I created a
  CreateUserAccountAction class that extends the DispatchAction and a form
  MultiCreateUserAccountForm that extends the ValidatorForm.  The reset method
of
  the MultiCreateUserAccountForm clears all attributes under the current session
  when the getPage() is equal to 2. The CreateUserAccountAction has two methods
  that are similar to the execute method that are named
createUserAccountActionOne
  and createUserAccountActionTwo. I got this concept out of chapter 12 of the
book
  Profession Jakarta Struts by James Goodwill and Richard Hightower.
  
  *** Here are the symptoms  **
  If there is a required field that is missing (leaved out) or does not
 fulfill
  the validation rule on the firstPage.jsp when the submit button is pressed. A
 new
  dialog box popped up on the screen with the validation message(s) from the
  resource property file. When all fields are validated the control is forwarded
 to
  the secondPage.jsp.
  
  If there is a required field that is missing (leaved out) or does not
 fulfill
  the validation rule on the secondPage.jsp when the submit button is pressed. A
  blank page is showed up on the window without a new dialog box shows up on the
  screen. The server.log indicates an error occurred and the control returns to
 the
  same page (secondPage.jsp). To fixing this problem, I pressed the back page
  button of the browser and correctly filled in all missing fields or making
sure
  the input is conforming to the validation rule. When all fields on the second
  page are filled in correctly according to the validation rules then the
control

Re: please help: ActionForms of same type but different name?

2003-10-29 Thread Kirk Wylie
Are the number of different form instances going to be determined 
dynamically? If so, this is an intractible problem, because you won't be 
able to make every possible determination in the struts-config.xml file 
in advance.

This might be a good use of JavaScript though. In that case, you would 
have two form beans: LoginFormA, and LoginFormB. Each one would have one 
potential action coming out of the page (ActionA and ActionB).

You would then create one hidden html:form instance of each of 
LoginFormA, and LoginFormB.

For each visible html:form, you would have a form which, on submit, 
would populate the hidden LoginFormA or LoginFormB instance, setting a 
hidden value indicating which visible html:form was actually 
submitted, and then submit the HIDDEN html:form corresponding to the 
particular form bean you needed to use.

Would this pattern work for you?

This is why we gave them different names through iteration-
LoginFormA_1, LoginFormA_2, LoginFormB_1,
etc. When LoginFormA_1 is submitted, you would think that
the request processor would look for a form called LoginFormA_1
and form.get(userName) would return the value of LoginFormA_1's
userName property. This doesn't happen.
Instead, the request processor looks at the action associated with the
submitted form, sees that it is loginActionA, looks for the
associated form (which from the action-mapping is LoginFormTypeA)
and since it cannot find one, creates one. Thus form.get(userName)
returns null.
Hope this is not too confusing!

According to your struts config, the path for the res. File should be

/WEB-INF/classes/ApplicationResources/properties.properties

The res file being named properties.properties which Is not wrong just

 So just use the same name for all of them (well not html:form name in

RE: please help: ActionForms of same type but different name?

2003-10-27 Thread Chen, Gin
One approach, you can define as many form-beans as you want iteratations.
Ex:
form-bean name=LoginForm_1
  type=com.oreilly.struts.storefront.security.LoginForm
/form-bean
form-bean name=LoginForm_2
  type=com.oreilly.struts.storefront.security.LoginForm
/form-bean
.
.
.
form-bean name=LoginForm_n
  type=com.oreilly.struts.storefront.security.LoginForm
/form-bean

You can also just use a single form bean for all your actions.. If they are
the same class then they are the same formbean anyways.
So just use the same name for all of them (well not html:form name in Struts
1.1+ but rather use name in action definition).
Or If you explain your requirements a bit more we could come up with a
better solution/explanation.

LoginForm extends ActionForm.

I understand that the attributes name and type have been deprecated
but I am trying to get the iteration to create and display a new
instance of the LoginForm, each with it's own name and properties. After
submit, the request processor seems to look for a formbean associated
with the action (in this case, a formbean called LoginForm) and not a
formbean with name LoginForm_1 and therefore in the action the form
property values are all null.

Anyone know how I can get it to look for the formBean with the unique
name that was specified by the variable element?

Re: please help: ActionForms of same type but different name?

2003-10-27 Thread Sonam Belbase
There is no knowing until runtime how many iterations there are going to be.
That's why we can't define the n number of LoginForms.

The requirement is that on the same jsp, we will have repeating
html:form/html:form sections. User will specify at runtime
how many he/she wants. The html:forms will all be of the same
type. Restriction is that only one can be submitted at a time, i.e. user
might have specified 5 Login sections of the page, and therefore is shown 5
login sections,  but can only save one at a time.

The save action needs to know which form to retrieve the values
username and password from.

Re: Please Help!!! A Validation Rule Fail On A Second-Page Causes A Blank Page To Show Up

Kam Lung Leung wrote:
 Why don't I get a pop up dialog box with error messages?
 Why the secondPage.jsp did not get executed when a validation

 Why do I get a blank screen?
Are you sure that it's blank? Sometimes the page doesn't render because 
of errors in the HTML, which might only be exposed when the page is 
trying to display error messages.

I'm not sure why you would reset everything if getPage() is equal to 2. 
The usual approach is to allow the properties to accumulate, until the 
end of the workflow, and then dispose of the (session-scoped ActionForm 
altogether. Generally, the only thing you ever need to reset is a 
checkbox to false on a session-scope ActionForm.

-Ted.


Hi,

I have been looking at this problem for the last four days and can't figure
out. I have an application that required workflow form. I created a
CreateUserAccountAction class that extends the DispatchAction and a form
MultiCreateUserAccountForm that extends the ValidatorForm.  The reset method of
the MultiCreateUserAccountForm clears all attributes under the current session
when the getPage() is equal to 2. The CreateUserAccountAction has two methods
that are similar to the execute method that are named createUserAccountActionOne
and createUserAccountActionTwo. I got this concept out of chapter 12 of the book
Profession Jakarta Struts by James Goodwill and Richard Hightower.
*** Here are the symptoms  **
If there is a required field that is missing (leaved out) or does not fulfill
the validation rule on the firstPage.jsp when the submit button is pressed. A new
dialog box popped up on the screen with the validation message(s) from the
resource property file. When all fields are validated the control is forwarded to
the secondPage.jsp.
If there is a required field that is missing (leaved out) or does not fulfill
the validation rule on the secondPage.jsp when the submit button is pressed. A
blank page is showed up on the window without a new dialog box shows up on the
screen. The server.log indicates an error occurred and the control returns to the
same page (secondPage.jsp). To fixing this problem, I pressed the back page
button of the browser and correctly filled in all missing fields or making sure
the input is conforming to the validation rule. When all fields on the second
page are filled in correctly according to the validation rules then the control
is correctly forwarded back to the firstPage.jsp.
**  My questions

Any suggestion and how to fix this problem is deeply appriciated.

Kam Lung Leung 



*** ***More detail on how the jsp was set up  **
The createUserAccountActionOne method calls the
MultiCreateUserAccountForm.validate() method to validate the user input fields of
the firstPage.jsp. Second, it calls the setPage() method with  1 as its input
parameter. Finally, it calls the MultiCreateUserAccountForm.setMethodToDispatch()
with createUserAccountActionTwo as the input parameter.
 
The createUserAccountActionTwo method calls the
MultiCreateUserAccountForm.validate() method to validate the user input fields of
the secondPage.jsp. Secondly, it remove the obsolete form bean with
session.removeAttribute(mapping.getAttribute()). Thirdly, it calls the setPage()
method with  2 as its input parameter. Finally, it calls the reset() method to
clear all attributes under the current session.

** This are action mapping ***
action
path=/multiCreateUserAccountFirstSubmit
type=com.wlwa.CreateUserAccountAction
name=multiCreateUserAccountForm
scope=session
validate=true

Hi Vivien,
 I think it depends on Struts version you are using. I use 1.1 and everything works 
fine.
Your message-resources/ config tells Struts to look for your resources at package
org.apache.struts.webapp.tiles.dev1-1. So, you should have, for instance, this:

  WEB-INF
--
 |
 |--- classes
--
 |
 |--- org/apache/struts/webapp/tiles/dev1-1
  
|
| - ApplicationResources.properties

  If you are not using 1.1, please, upgrade to. If problem still happens, you know how 
to find us.
  Hope it was useful.

Regards,
 Daniel.

Re: Please Help Me To Understand forward

2003-09-14 Thread Ted Husted
The first snippet redirects to a Struts ActionForward named welcome. 
This places controls within the Struts controller where it can be 
managed from the struts-config.

In the global-forwards section, the ActionForward element for welcome 
is mapped to the page /do/Menu. This application uses prefix mapping, 
so any request for /do/* is sent to the Struts ActionServlet. The Struts 
ActionSerlvet then looks for a matching ActionMapping.

The matching ActionMapping in this case is /Menu (the URI stripped of 
the prefix or suffix registered to the Servlet). If you look again, I 
think you will find this ActionMapping:

action path=/Menu name=menuForm 
type=org.apache.struts.scaffold.ExistsAttributeAction 
parameter=application;HOURS
forward name=success path=.article.Menu/
forward name=failure path=/do/MenuCreate/
/action

Here, if the attribute exists, the page will be rendered by the 
.article.Menu Tile. Otherwise, control will go the /MenuCreate action 
first.

The .article.Menu tile (in tiles-def.xml) assembles the page using these 
instructions:

definition name=.article.Menu extends=.article.Base
put name=title value=article.Menu.title/
put name=content value=/article/content/menu.jsp/
put name=navbar value=/article/common/navbarMenu.jsp/
/definition
The menu.jsp is the main content page, but other pages are also used to 
create the final response.

Does this redirect forward tells the browser to submit

The path of the logical name welcome is do/Menu

do/Menu appears in the config.xml is:

   forward

path=/do/Menu/
forward

path=.article.Menu/
/action

There is no Menu ActionServlet in the application.

There is a menu.jsp (note it is lower case menu) file
in the application. Does this application display
menu.jsp when it is first launched? Apparently, it
does. This menu.jsp is in the
artimus_1_1/WEB-INF/src/pages/article/content folder.
I am confused - does /do/Menu locate the menu.jsp 

1. in the /src/pages/article/content folder?
2. regardless upper or lower cases?

RE: PLEASE HELP with Exception in error.jsp with Tiles

2003-08-28 Thread Hue Holleran
Hi Richard,

First things first - ditch 1.4.1 and get 1.4.2 - I've had endless unusual
problems with 1.4.1 - except the very latest release - but 1.4.2 seems
faster to me as well. Hmmm - lots to look through ... msanger - Microsoft
make you that mad, eh?

It looks to me like a further exception is being thrown in the error.jsp
(possibly relating to bean:message key=errorPage.heading - is this line
correct?).

My advice would be to simplify the error.jsp significantly (i.e. start with
static content) and build it back gradually. I remember a post a while ago

 Subject: PLEASE HELP with Exception in error.jsp with Tiles


 Sorry to plead, but I have been fighting this for the better part of two
 days now. I've done a line by line review of just about all of my code.
 Cannot find anything that appears out of whack - compared to similar
 programs that are working.

 Would really appreciate any tips or suggestions on how to track this down.
 Let me know if there is additional documentation needed.

 First, I am running the regular Struts 1.1 production release on
 Windows XP
 using Sun Java 1.4.1.

 In my main JSP I'm running into some type of exception that is
 causing me to
 switch to my error.jsp. However it never makes it there and I get
 about 2/3
 of my original JSP page. This only occurs when I encounter an error in a
 multi-line update.

 I've turned on logging for the tiles and appropriate struts classes. The
 most I can see is that I'm getting an NPE in:
 org.apache.struts.taglib.html.MessagesTag.doAfterBody(MessagesTag.
 java:312)

 Below is my error.jsp file and the exception stack trace (sorry, its long
 chain of exceptions). Each exception refers to the same line in my main
 JSP - 849 - which is this line, I've just finished the /tiles:put tag
 for an inline put, and am encountering the /tiles:insert to
 end my tiles
 structure (I've included several lines after it):

 /*line 849*/  if (_jspx_th_tiles_insert_0.doEndTag() ==
 javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.Tag.SKIP_PAGE)
 return;

 _jspx_tagPool_tiles_insert_flush_definition.reuse(_jspx_th_tiles_i
 nsert_0);
   out.write(\r\n);
   out.write(!-- html-el:javascript formName=\subjectAspectsForm\
 dynamicJavascript=\true\ staticJavascript=\true\ htmlComment=\true\
 cdata=\false\/ --\r\n\r\n);
 } catch (Throwable t) {
   out = _jspx_out;
   if (out != null  out.getBufferSize() != 0)
 out.clearBuffer();
   if (pageContext != null) pageContext.handlePageException(t);
 } finally {
   if (_jspxFactory != null)

Hue,

Thanks. That did help as it showed it had nothing to do with the error.jsp.
Turned out to be a real rookie mistake - a mispelled message key. I'm
embarrassed, to say the least - but very, very happy to be on my way again.

Hi Richard,

First things first - ditch 1.4.1 and get 1.4.2 - I've had endless unusual
problems with 1.4.1 - except the very latest release - but 1.4.2 seems
faster to me as well. Hmmm - lots to look through ... msanger - Microsoft
make you that mad, eh?

It looks to me like a further exception is being thrown in the error.jsp
(possibly relating to bean:message key=errorPage.heading - is this line
correct?).

My advice would be to simplify the error.jsp significantly (i.e. start with
static content) and build it back gradually. I remember a post a while ago
about a gotcha in that when using tiles the error page appears after the
already committed content of the tiles - so you may need to consider this
too?

Good luck!

Hue.

RE: Please Help With Simple Tiles Problem

2003-08-14 Thread Terry Brick
Thanks for your response. Your assumption is correct
in that my design is not very static and therefore
need the ability of dynamic embedded tiles (so the
first solution would not work).  However, you did give
me some good ideas and insight into how Tiles works. 
What I got out of all of this is is that it seems
Tiles was intented to work better with flatter
structures rather than this dynamic, tree structure
thing I'm trying to implement (tiles within tiles
within tiles, branching off into other tiles, etc). 
It certainly has that capability but my definition.xml
is getting UGLY... but it's worth it ;)


--- Holman, Cal [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Terry Hard to tell from a snippet of an entire

 simplify the design.  The other way to reduce is to
 have the functionality for form_wrapper .jsp in the
 formX.jsp.   The tiles context is only for the
 definition being used not for any embedded
 definitions so unless you take measures to pass
 attributes down tiles will not see them.  I pass the
 page definition being called for some menuing style
 changes but to do so you need to define a bean with
 the attribute in request scope then pluck it in the
 lower tiles definition. I have an example on my web
 site - if you look for the code for the level 3
 index you will see the same technique:
 http://www.calandva.com/holmansite/do/blog/blogging.
  Although I have been having a lot of problems with
 my DSL connection over the last few weeks - so email
 me if you would like more info.
 
 If you must do the nested definitions then you can
 pass the inner tiles insert parameter as a bean and
 script the formX.jsp.  This is pretty ugly and
 Cedric or someone else may know a better way - I
 just hacked this together.  First the hack:
 
 In form_wrapper.jsp add this line where you want
 form1.jsp to be inserted:
 tiles:insert name=%=
 request.getAttribute(form).toString() %
 flush=true /
 
 Then in page.jsp you need to do two things the easy
 one is include form_wrapper.jsp:
 tiles:insert attribute=body  flush=true/
 or you could use your def calling a def routine.
 Also in page.jsp include a line near the top of the
 page prior to any tiles:insert tags to create the
 request scope bean this will make the form visible
 to the next tile:
 tiles:useAttribute id=form name=form
 scope=request/
 
 Now the definition can look like this:
  definition name=page path=page.jsp/
 
  definition name=form_type_page extends=page
 put name=body
 value=form_wrapper.jsp
 put name=form value=form1.jsp/
  /definition
 
  definition name=form_page2
 extends=form_type_page
 put name=form value=form2
  /definition
 
 I know it is messy - but it should work.

Thanks for your response David.  Correct me if I'm
wrong, but isn't this exactly what I had in my
example?  Maybe I'm just not grasping something...
It looks to me like I'm still having to add two
definition blocks for each form I want to add.
Under your form_page definition you point to form1
-OR- form2. But in reality can't you only have one or
the other?  I have an struts action pointing to each
form so wouldn't I have to do something like...


 definition name=page path=page.jsp/

 definition name=form_page1 extends=page
put name=body value=form1
 /definition

 definition name=form_page2 extends=page
put name=body value=form2
 /definition

 definition name=form1 path=form_wrapper.jsp
put name=body value=form1.jsp/
 definition

 definition name=form2 path=form_wrapper.jsp
put name=body value=form2.jsp/
 definition


So I would have an action pointing to form_page1 and
an action pointing two form_page2.  But I would have
to add two definitions to my tiles-config file for
each form.  It just seems redundant to me.

Sorry if I'm being dense, your patience is much
appreciated :-)

 definition name=form.user extends=form.default
  put name=title value=form title direct=true/
  put name=form-body value=/tls/user_form.jsp/
 /definition



 In layout.jsp  (snippet)
 ===
 tiles:insert attribute=body/


 In wrapform.jsp  (snippet)
 
 tiles:insert attribute=form-body/



 I get an error saying that my form-body attribute does not exist.  And
when I swap tiles:insert with tiles:get, I don't get an error, but I
also don't get my form-body content.  I can see that what I have defined
doesn't make much sense, but I can't figure it out.
 What I want is, when I call form.user for it to give me the folloing
content structure
 (if these tags represented the content of JSP's)

 layout.jsp
wrapform.jsp
   user_form.jsp/
/wrapform.jsp
 /layout.jsp

 Could someone please show me how to do this?

 2) input attribute for the update event goes back to edit Action
 instead of edit JSP
 
 I went with #2 and that brings up a new issue. Doing that causes all of
 the current values for the fields to be lost (i.e. the user inputs a bad
 number format in a field they click submit and receive the JSP with
 a list of errors at the top) Because the process went through the edit
 action again, the Action re-queried the database and updated the
 ActionForm with database values, overwriting all the user's values
 (including ones that were correctly edited and contained no errors).
 
 To avoid this I have to insert code in the edit Action to check for a
 populated ActionForm before querying the database. This feels a little
 messy.
 
 Of course I could use the session solution (#1), but I like to avoid
 using sessions unless absolutely necessary. In addition, these drop
 downs could have 100's of items in them, I'd like to keep big chunks of
 data like that in the request.
 
 So the alternative, I guess, is to have another action that NEVER
 queries the database, but just prepares a blank form. I actually already
 have one of these... it's my create action.
 

Aaron, this sounds like a good idea if it works for you. You can also 
manually validate in your save action (the action your form submits to) 
by doing something like:

  // Validate form parameters ... 
  ActionErrors errors = yourForm.validate(mapping, request);
  if (errors != null  !errors.isEmpty()) {
saveErrors(request, errors);

//do whatever you need to do to put your 
//drop-down list values back into the request.

return new ActionForward(mapping.getInput());
  }// end validate


And set validate=false in your edit action mapping.

Susan Bradeen

 This appears to be the best practice in this situation anyone else
 have any feedback?
 
 Thanks again,
 Aaron

 You have at least 2 choices.

I start getting quite frustrated on this issue after a few days of 
researching on the Tiles home page, Tiles Struts home page, Struts email 
archive, the tiles-documentation.war, and google on Tiles. The whole 
development is stop at this point.

I have read somewhere at the email archive: it is not need to process the 
initialition if the definition is stored in a JSP file, which is the case 
I posted my previous post.

I change the definition method, using a xml file instead. After having a 
xml file and modification of web.xml, I get the logging message when I

2003-04-04 Thread Vernon
Thanks very much for your information, Cedric.

I have read through the Tiles related articles linked to the Struts-Tiles 
page, and have not seen the plug in procedure for standalone usage. A 
plugin procedure, I find, is on the following page 
http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/excerpt/progjakstruts_14/index2.html. It 
is about Struts. I don't use Struts however. How I initialize the Tiles?

I can't add any getter method in any new form since on every jsp form

javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: No getter method for property fooProp

I tryed with several foms (also the famous FooForm), but the result is

I attach my struts-config.xml file.

The thing I really can't understand is that all forms perfectly work 
except the one defined in /chooseAgenda action or those created from 
scratch and inserted (no matter the position).

Please I really need help !!

enrollDate should be a String in your formBean. Are you sure you
aren't trying setting enrollDate as a Date type in your form bean?

I cc'd Samir as well, since I think he is having similar problems. I
think it's nice and clean to deal with Dates in forms this way:

1) Have a form bean with all Strings representing your jsp form. So
something like birthDate would be set up as a String.

2) Have a business bean with the correct data types. For example..
java.util.Date birthDate, double someNumber, etc.

3) When you submit your jsp page to your action you can take care of
the conversion of the FormBean(all Strings) to the correct data types
and populate your business bean (usually called a DTO or ValueObject).
Similarly, when going the other direction you can take a business bean
and convert the Date fields into Strings (with the format you like)
and populate your FormBean and display that to the user.

As far as doing the conversion I usually take care of that outside of
the Action and use the BeanUtils.copyProperties(..) but you can also
just create your own helper class to do the conversions for you if you
like.

I don't know, but my guess is that you meant to use 
someString.equals(someOtherString) rather than someString == 
someOtherString, unless you somehow are using a hidden myString.intern() in 
there.  My guess, in other words, is that you are getting nothing because 
all your == tests yield false.  Try sticking a ! or two in there and 
see if something miraculously appears.  Debuggers are not very clever at 
finding the real problems, like this one, if this is right.

 Subject:  PLEASE HELP - struts-tiles no longer work 
 
 Hi,
 
 My app was working fine using struts-tiles with frameset. But since this afternoon, 
it does not work any more. It displays a blank page (NOT a 404 error).
 
 I have tried with debug code, but couldn't figure out. The action forward seems to 
work fine after the user login. I tested and it forwarded to the right View (JSP) 
which is the MainMenu.jsp. I have been debugging this issue for the last 5 hrs, and I 
ran out of idea where to look for a solution to this problem.
 
 Please help!
 
 Thanks,
 Tuan

Why don't you look at the source?  My guess is that if you are looking at a 
blank page, the page, except for tags, is blank.

2002-10-19 Thread micael
I don't know, but my guess is that you meant to use 
someString.equals(someOtherString) rather than someString == 
someOtherString, unless you somehow are using a hidden myString.intern() in 
there.  My guess, in other words, is that you are getting nothing because 
all your == tests yield false.  Try sticking a ! or two in there and 
see if something miraculously appears.  Debuggers are not very clever at 
finding the real problems, like this one, if this is right.

+1 on initializing static data at application start up time and
caching it.


 In addition we found that putting the Collection directly into some scope
 with a well defined Constant.KEY_XXX was much better in the long run as
 opposed to trying to put in the form bean.  This way the control on the
 page only needs to know the name of the collection but not where
 to get it.
Why not just populate the form with the collection and use the nested tags
to render the data from the form. This way you don't have to manage any
attribute keys and the nested control only needs to know which property
to access.

 We have done alot of this and have tried many things.

 In our case, If possible all of our static lists (provinces ect)
 are loaded
 at application startup and put into application scope.
 The plug-in's are great for this but there are many other ways.
 If the  lists are User specific, they go into session.

 And as a last resort if they are required at request time, they are
 absolutely put  in the LoadAction for that page.
 In the case of validation we route back to the LoadAction and not
 the page.
 The only problem is that this forces us to consider when to pre-populate
 the form fields from the backend or let them be prepopulate from the
 request(in the case of a bad validation).  There is usally  some type of a
 flag in the page  that will let us know what state the page is in.

 In addition we found that putting the Collection directly into some scope
 with a well defined Constant.KEY_XXX was much better in the long run as
 opposed to trying to put in the form bean.  This way the control on the
 page only needs to know the name of the collection but not where
 to get it.

 As well we now use LabelValueBeans for every list.

 just my 2 canadian cents.

 Well if the Action is needed to populate the drop-downs (these
 values being
 in request scope I presume?) then after the form is submitted and
 validation
 has failed, you will need to reload these values. If you are loading the
 values in an action you will need to go through that action. (The other
 alternative is to store the info in session scope, but that creates the
 potential problem of knowing when to get rid of it)
 Perhaps the idea might be to have an action whose sole
 responsibility is to
 populate the drop-downs and instead of forwarding directly to the
 view, you
 go through this one first and it forwards you to the view after populating
 the drop-downs.

 That is what we are doing now. It goes through a controller to the

 does not go to the Action class and the helper methods are not called and
 as a result, the drop downs are empty.

Correction, it seems that the version of Tomcat doesn't matter after all. A
JSP with nested logic:iterate tags worked before, but not now. Maybe it
was with an earlier version of Struts. Does anyone know if the behavior of
logic:iterate changed with respect to nesting the tags between Struts 1.0
and Struts 1.1b?

All,

My team is currently at loggerheads about the correct place to put the
database calls that are prepopulating our drop downs. We can not decide if
they should be in the ActionForm or in the Action class. We are trying to
stick them in the validate method in the ActionForm to make sure they are
always called in instances where the form does not get to the action class
(i.e. validation fails). But is this the correct way? I am thinking this is
nothing new. What is the correct way to initialize drop downs?
And then what about closing the database connection?

I would much appreciate any help. It would make our Friday alot smoother.

Re: Please help decide a religious discussion

2002-09-27 Thread David Graham

Put the list of objects to go in your select box in the session.  Your jsp 
will use that session attribute to populate the select box, either using a 
struts tag or anything else.  Your ActionForm only needs a String variable 
to hold the one option the user selected (for multiple selects I assume 
you'll need a String array).  The ActionForm doesn't actually hold all of 
the choices just the selected value.

The Action class...but the action should be asking a helper object for a
list of whatever goes in your drop down.  It shouldn't know about the

List list = StateHelper.getStateList();

 All,
 
 My team is currently at loggerheads about the correct place to put the
 database calls that are prepopulating our drop downs. We can not decide 
if
 they should be in the ActionForm or in the Action class. We are trying to
 stick them in the validate method in the ActionForm to make sure they are
 always called in instances where the form does not get to the action 
class
 (i.e. validation fails). But is this the correct way? I am thinking this
is
 nothing new. What is the correct way to initialize drop downs?
 And then what about closing the database connection?
 
 I would much appreciate any help. It would make our Friday alot smoother.
 
 Steve

Sounds like you need to define the action and not the jsp as your input in
struts-config.

That is what we are doing now. It goes through a controller to the
database, but we are using the validator and when an error occurs, the form
does not go to the Action class and the helper methods are not called and
as a result, the drop downs are empty.

2002-09-27 Thread Sri Sankaran

Wait a minute.  Is this the current setup?


  Action-A (does stuff, preps form-B for page-B)
-- Forward to Page-B
  --  User does stuff and submits
 -- Validation of form-B fails
   -- Page-B re-displayed but with empty selects?

Hard to believe!  I say so because the population of the selects is done by the 
business logic invoked by Action-A which is no longer in the picture.

All that your validate should be doing is *test* the data and set ActionErrors if 
necessary.  Make sure you aren't wiping out your collections.

No, it is a little different.

The user calls Page-A
   --- form-A is instantiated
 ---action-A is run and the execute method is called, prepopulating the
drop downs
-- the user does stuff and submits
 -- Validation of form-A fails and does not go to Action-A
-- Page-A re-displayed, but with empty drop downs

I hope this helps.

RE: Please help decide a religious discussion

2002-09-27 Thread Andrew Hill

Well if the Action is needed to populate the drop-downs (these values being
in request scope I presume?) then after the form is submitted and validation
has failed, you will need to reload these values. If you are loading the
values in an action you will need to go through that action. (The other
alternative is to store the info in session scope, but that creates the
potential problem of knowing when to get rid of it)
Perhaps the idea might be to have an action whose sole responsibility is to
populate the drop-downs and instead of forwarding directly to the view, you
go through this one first and it forwards you to the view after populating
the drop-downs.

Drop down list data should be cached, if data is not updated dynamicly.
With Struts, if you are using Tiles, you can created a drop down list
components get the list data from cache via controller class.
