Tomcat performance - Was Clever trick required
Hi First of all: Please direct these types of questions to the proper maillisting for Tomcat. Tomcat is as I stated, first and foremost a Servlet engine (Reference implementation), and is as such tuned for that. My guess is that if you are having performance problems, that these are due to hardware insuficies. Most likely to little avavailable memory, or that your application is badly written. By badly written I mean for instance that there is a lot of garbage collection occurring.

It can be done, but if this to be defined inside existing structures like , then I would have to change Struts code. Another way is to define it somewhere else like instead of or just , in this case you would need to include custom ruleset object into web.xml. The latter would be easier because Struts code would not be changed. I will think about moving map to config file, but frankly I do not consider it a priority. Why you don't like it in the class file? What benefit do you expect from moving it to config file? YOu want to be able to remap handlers? BTW, you can purloin ;) from another link that I posted, that version does not use map at all and is _very_ compact.

Re: I am getting frustrated with LookupDispatchAction
Michael,
I like your code alot but a couple of things prevent me from purloining
it for my own purposes:
firstly, I like to allocate my base class to sort out user, locale,
msgKeys, and messages objects for use in the subclass. It doesn't seem
to be possible to sandwich a subclass in-between SelectAction and the
child class to do this, isn't that so?
Secondly, getKeyMethodMap() looks really clunky - is there no way this
can be pushed into the struts-config.xml?

[OT] Re: What's wrong with DTOs?
Only fair to mark this thread OT by now, hope no one minds... Talking about the view that considers what goes on in Struts Actions to be part of the view, here's why I don't agree with that perception... In that view, if I have a webapp and later want to make it a Swing-based app, I would be throwing away not only the JSPs but also the Actions. In fact, all I'd be keeping is the "Model" components, the real business logic guts of the app. This is the typical approach taken. However, in my view, If I have that webapp, I would only throw away the JSPs, which is what I consider the View, and only the JSPs. The way I write apps, the calls to the server made from a browser are either viewed as events or service requests. In fact, the whole paradigm is simply termed Service-Oriented Architecture. If you view a webapp as a sequence of pages, then you tend to have trouble doing what I'm saying because the underlying architecture is a contrary one. Instead of coding into the Swing app what should happen when a user clicks a button for instance, what window should be shown perhaps, this decision is pushed back onto the server. A normal HTTP request is made that determines the next window to show. Now, the difference is that the new view is not rendered on the server as with JSPs. Instead, a code is returned that the Swing code interprets and displays the appropriate "response". In this regard, the Swing app is strictly the View. The Control layer, still implemented in Struts, remains the same, and has no knowledge that its now dealing with a Swing app instead of JSPs... the only difference is that I use the JSPs that an Action forwards to in order to render the code that the Swing app recognizes. The JSPs are something like this: <%="showCustomerEditWindow"%> Literally, that's it! Wouldn't even be a scriplet in reality, but I showed it that way to illustrate what's going on. This code tells the Swing code to display a particular window, but it doesn't tell it anything about what the presentation looks like, that's all up to the Swing code. Usually I would have the JSP also send back a serialized version of the ActionForm so I can have my data too. Now, it's easy to remove the JSPs if I want to and do this all from the Actions, it's arguably a superfluous step to go to a JSP. But, the nice thing about it is that all I do is change the JSPs in struts-config to not point to the JSPs that render a browser-based page, but instead points to the pages that renders the codes the Swing app can make sense of. In this way, switching from a web-based app to a Swing-based app, as far as the code on the server goes, is nothing but changing a config file. NO code needs to be touched. The point I'm trying to make is that if I viewed the Actions, and indeed all of Struts, as part of the View and not the Control, I'd be throwing a lot more away than I need to. I mean, the flow of the application still exists in Struts, the Swing app is just another way to represent things to the user. This is why when we talk about the "webapp" being not only the JSPs but the Actions and ActionForms, etc., I believe that view leads not to less work to change, but MORE work, and as such does not represent "proper" separation or description of MVC (as we know it today at least). I admit I've never done this in a production environment, but as a proof-of-concept about 3 years ago I took an existing webapp, a relatively complex one too, and did exactly what I'm talking about... I threw together a Swing-based front-end and used it instead of a browser. It worked perfectly. Now, the obvious drawback is performance. You *do* pay a penalty doing this vs. a "typical" Swing app where there are no server calls involved. Not to mention the question of what's the point?? So, the whole premise probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense to begin with (switching a webapp to a Swing app in this fashion I mean). But it can be done, and by thinking of what lives in Struts as truly the Control layer, and keeping that separate from the View and the Model (the model being everything else, the real "guts" of the app), you have the flexibility to change presentations without doing more than you really have to, i.e., recoding the flow of the application. -- Frank W.

Ok... but I think that we've had this discussion about 20 times last year on this list, so, whats the point? :-) regards Leon P.S. Have you ever considered, that the View itself can be an MVC as well? Like the servlet/action is the controller, the bean is the model, and the jsp the view? More, the business logic can be the view on the persistence logic or vice versa, depends on how you define the interfaces. Like in a layered architecture business logic is the view on the persistence, since it's using the persistence's interfaces and objects, and in a business-logic-centric architecture persistence is another view on the business logic, since it's using business logic objects in its interfaces (pretty similar, but the difference is where the protocol (the data objects) are defined. I don't know whether you was watching an OT discussion some months ago, as Ted has brought up the "Olympic Ring" Metaphor, which can be interpreted (my personal interpretation) by each layer being the view of the underlying layer, therefore the architecture being a row of circular MVCs.

The first thing I always preach new developers on my team is that they should think the entire web tier away and replace it (mentally) with a Swing or whatever client, without changing anything in the subsequent layers, and the application still has to work as usual. From an architectural view, the entire OO thing is about loose coupling, separation of concerns and minimizing dependencies. Now MVC - a pattern emerging from its first Xerox in- carnation some 25 years ago, originally invented for SmallTalk-based rich clients and targeted at helping to coordinate keyboard input, 'business logic' (as understood back then, mysteriously named 'Model') and monitor output in a responsibility-oriented way, has since been adapted to different technologies including the web. Still, it's strictly about getting input and showing things from the Model. Now, unlike in the old days, applications are usually architecturally somewhat more complex now- adays and split into different layers (naming varies). Usually, there's at least one layer for the 'business logic' (a.k.a the application) and a subsequent one for resource access. Both of them are relative long- lived compared to the client (web) tier which can change every few years, from Struts to JSF or whatever, whereas the business logic itself tends to stay relatively static (usually the database itself is the part with the longest lifespan, database models easily reaching the age of 30 or more). There- fore, IMHO it's a good idea to keep heed of a strict separation of architectural layers throughout the entire application, providing interfaces like BusinessDelegate or Facade to be used by different client implementa- tions in a consistent way even in case of a complete technology change in the client tier. This may possibly require more work to keep thing as abstract as possible, but I'm quite confident it'll pay some day. And that's where DTOs (or ValueObjects, which originally were designed to address granu- larity issues when dealing with EJB and the like) or domain classes come in. I, for once, don't want to see *any* web-related stuff in my backing layers; no document/view con- siderations here. Better leave that ground to the few remaining MFC adepts who still think C++ is the one true solution to every- thing. MVC, then, was born as a 'client' pattern and stays one.

I still think you're overriding 'execute' and never calling
super.execute(...) to give DispatchAction a chance to do its job.
Does it work if you remove the 'execute' method entirely from your
DoSearchAction (and fix the 'dispatch' param value so it matches the
method name)?

Re: [Shale] Help - wonky prerender() call! - SOLVED :)
Since I always seem to be asking questions and receiving help, I thought I would let you know how I finally solved this problem. What was wrong was in the naming of my jsps (the view-ids). I changed my faces-config.xml from: loggedOff /failure.jsp to loggedOff /logon.jsp The rules for "registration" of the backing bean to a jsp/view-id are given in detail in the javadocs for ViewController: http://people.apache.org/~craigmcc/shale-core-javadocs/. Also, there are examples in DefaultControllerMapper.java in the source. For example, I have a managed bean called logon and hence setting the view-id as /logon.jsp marries them together.. (I hope I've got that right!). Clearly, unless the naming rules are strictly followed (see gory details again in DefaultViewControllerMapper.java), Shale cannot be expected to satisfy its contract.

I would tend to agree. An easy mistake to make is to start porgramming
~with~ a framework instead of *into* a framework.This is not only true
of web frameworks but GUI grameworks, like VB. In fact, McConnel tells
a story in Code Conplete of how he used to add a "commit" method to
all his VB forms to help separate th model from the view.
In my own work, we've been bundling up the input we need from the
presentation layer into a context and shipping it up to the model. The
bundle includes items like a "user profile", which in turn includes
the locale and roles, so we can localize and authorize outside the
view. When the context returns, the business transaction, or
transactions, have succeeded or not, and we can disburse any messages
or alter the page flow based on the outcome.
Something like this.
IViewHelper h = executeRead ("SaveB");
if (h.isNominal()) ...
Although it not apparent in this snippet, we are using the equivalent
of a DynaBean as a data transfer object. We send all the input needed
by the transaction up to the model at once. Let the model do its job,
and then flow according to the outcome (isNominal).
IMHO, most presentation frameworks are trying to way too much of the
work. I'm reminded of Boxer from George Orwell's Animal Farm. Every
time the Pigs wanted something, Boxer would say "I will work harder."
Until one day, loyal Boxer collasped.
Much of what we want to do with Struts (or WebWork, or Spring MVC, or
JSF) could be done outside of the presentation layer, or at least a
specific presentation layer. If you see the presentation layer as a
place where we do markup and just the markup, then DTOs become very
useful. The HTTP request sent by the browser agent is a DTO.
The question is whether we want to stop transfering the data when we
get to the servlet (or filter or Action), or continue to transfer the
data on to the model. If we stop at the Action layer, and start
making model calls there, we eliminate a transfer, but we embed
business logic into the presentation layer. If we continue on, we need
to hand-off to yet-another DTO, but we can cleanly separate view from
model. There are benefits and side effects either way. Your Mileage
May Vary.

I still think you're overriding 'execute' and never calling
super.execute(...) to give DispatchAction a chance to do its job.
Does it work if you remove the 'execute' method entirely from your
DoSearchAction (and fix the 'dispatch' param value so it matches the method
name)?

I need to create an internationalized Web application by struts,mysql and

Each component Character Encoding is utf8.
It runs well when I run a pure servlet to save 'Chinese Character' to

Chinese correctly.
I really don't know why struts action can not work well. I am sure there is
no difference between them.
By the time that your action class is executing, Struts has already
read from the request input stream (to populate the ActionForm).
In any web application, if you want to set the request character
encoding, you must arrange to do it before any code will read from
the request input stream. The best way to do this in a Servlet 2.3
or later web environment is to use a ServletFilter. In fact, most of
the worked examples of writing ServletFilters on the web are to solve
this problem.
You could also do it by extending RequestProcessor (or
TilesRequestProcessor, if you use Tiles) and overriding the
processPreprocess method. However, in Struts 1.3 the
processPreprocess method is no longer used. Using a ServletFilter
will apply to any application you write in any Struts version, or
with a non-Struts approach.

Load datasource config without action classes
Hi i'm thinking about loading struts-config datasources configuration directly to my business classes, but i appears to be necesary to use action clases (by calling getDataSource method). is it possible to use a load-on-startup servlet to get struts configured datasources (or something similar, instead action clases)?? I really like the form how struts configure databases but i preffer to link those databases directly to my business tier. I'm opened to other options instead :) Any idea? thanks all! -- M4RC0 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My action sequence is: jsp0 ---> Action1> jsp1 -> Action2 > jsp2 | | Formbean1 Formbean2 I would like to pre-populate Formbean2 in Action1 to put default values in jsp1. Formbean2 specifies a name property. Unfortunately, when i code this DynaActionForm dForm = (DynaActionForm) form; dForm.set( "name", person.getName() ); in Action1 dForm refers to Formbean1 (not Formbean2). Formbean1 is used to get informations entered in jsp0. Since Formbean1 does not specify a name property (it does not need any), i get an error. My question is then: How to populate Formbean2 in Action1? Fixed! I red the struts doc again and i solved my problem. I did not understand that i need 2 actions: an action to populate the form (before the jsp is displayed) and one to process the user infos. So my flow is now: jsp0 ---> Action1>prepareAction -> jsp1 -> Action2 > jsp2 | || Formbean1 Formbean2(pre-populated) Formbean2 and it works!!!

SV: Clever trick required
Hi Your running Tomcat as an HTTP Server? Why? Tomcat is a Servlet engine and is not optimized for serving static content. You should put Apache Http server in front of it, serving static content. I have Tomcat running on servers, and have seen more that 1200 concurrent sessions on it without any problem at all.

1) Don't high-jack threads.

Laurie Harper a écrit : Sure.

Thanx, Manu. Did you specify a 'name' property in your form bean declaration in struts-config.xml? 'Dyna' forms only have the properties you specify. I've never used them, but I think the 'lazy' versions allow you to use arbitrary properties without having to declare them. Yes name is specified. I think it needs more explanations. My action sequence is: jsp0 ---> Action1> jsp1 -> Action2 > jsp2 | | Formbean1 Formbean2 I would like to pre-populate Formbean2 in Action1 to put default values in jsp1. Formbean2 specifies a name property.

Re: What's wrong with DTOs?
I wish to tell you a story, to show because I changed my mind about DTOs.
Once upon a time I used to write GUIs (i.e. Swing GUIs). I have to tell
that I used to mix controller code with model. But when I think about that
"era" I noticed that it was pretty easy to write code. Why now is it so
difficult?
The answer is simple: the technology switch changed not only the
purely-technical aspects of programming, but also the way we code. We all
now have the burden of using servlets (directly or indirectly), servlets
mean HTTP requests, sessions, scopes, contexts, things that in GUIs we
never imagined. I think that we once code the OOP way, now we returned to
some sort of procedural programming, i.e. it is like emulating BASIC in
Java :-P
For example, take the Business Delegate pattern (that once I loved a lot
and now this love finished). It is a collection of business methods, not a
real object! Its methods act on different objects, not itself or related
objects! Is it OOP?
About DAOs, they are a way of storing objects, not part of the object
itself. I mean, the DAO calls must be inside the implementation of the
objects, not in their interface!
For example, suppose that you want to connect an object of class B to an
object of class A.
public class A {
public void addB(B b);
public List getBs();
}
I think the DAO call must be present in "addB" implementation or you have
to code a sort of "committer" that takes all the requests from domain
objects and then, when a "commit" method is invoked, it commits using
DAOs.
And maybe a very-big object that represents the whole model for the
current "status" (notice that I used "status" and not "user", "session",
etc.) that gives away objects to everyone needs them.
Hello! It is a "document", as in "Document/View" architecture!
You may ask now what's the place for HttpServletRequest and its company. I
think its natural place is inside the document itself, hidden inside its
code, so that the interface is independent from the use of servlet
technology. In fact HttpServletRequest is a relevant part of the status
(current requests, session objects, etc.) but the status must be
"extracted" from the request.
Maybe the MVC pattern should be renamed "DVC" (D obviously stands for
"Document"), so maybe we'll return to real OOP.
Ciao
Antonio Petrelli
P.S.: All the things I told are to be intended as "IMHO". They are neither
patterns nor real code.
P.P.S.: I think DVC is a trademark, so maybe it can't be used :-P
