I honestly don't remember how I did that, but I do know I figured it out

Tiles on Tomcat 5.0.30

2006-02-21 Thread anil_a


Hi All

I have used tiles in while this week and when I look at Tiles user 
guide, it says "If you are using Struts 1.2.x you will need to also make 
sure you are using the |org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesRequestProcessor| 
or a |RequestProcessor| class that extends it."


My application is working fine without it.   Can you please explain the 
reasons for this?


Thanks in advance for any replies.

Generally, no.

"return null" means that you "took care of response". This means that
you set up response headers and response content whatever you feel
appropriate, and you instructed Struts not to mess with it.

Response object is sent to Action.execute() method as parameter.

Re: using tiles and setting a cookie

No, I'm not seeing an exception for that.

I'm starting to think now that perhaps I'm doing this in the wrong
place. After all the purpose of a controller should simply be to
prepare data for rendering in a JSP tile. I'm wondering though if this
is the case what the purpose is of having the HttpServletRequest as a
parameter to a Controller?

I'm now considering moving my database code into an action, and then
setting the cookie in there before handing off to a slimmed-down
controller.

RE: using tiles and setting a cookie

2006-02-21 Thread David G. Friedman

Brian,

Are your logs showing any errors about the reponse already being committed?  If 
the headers have already been sent then
adding cookies after that would be a useless task.  But I think you would 
probably have seen Java Exceptions at that
point.

RE: using tiles and setting a cookie

2006-02-21 Thread David G. Friedman

Have you tried it without the domain setting to ensure that your chosen domain 
of ".mysite.com" isn't interfering with
the cookie handoff?  There is the possibility that the browser is configured to 
accept anything other than the exact
hostname, though you have probably looked into that and tried that already.  I 
made that suggestion since I've
previously read of problems like that on this list.

David

Subject: Re: using tiles and setting a cookie


I was unaware of that actually. But, even outside of the debugger the
cookie isn't seen on the client side. And it isn't seen on the next
request. Here's some of the code -

In the controller class (it's an abstract class):

public void execute(ComponentContext componentContext,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response, ServletContext
servletContext) throws Exception {
Object someObj=
someAbstractMethod(componentContext,request,response,servletContext);
// set a cookie
Cookie cookie = new Cookie("cookieName","cookieValue");
cookie.setDomain(".mysite.com");
cookie.setMaxAge(-1);
response.addCookie(cookie);
}

Later on, in another request, I try to get the cookie using -

Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies()

But my new cookie is nowhere to be found. As I said in the original
post, in my application it's working fine when I set the cookies in
Actions, but not in Controllers.

error-page design question

2006-02-21 Thread Jay Burgess

Our app currently throws a custom UnavailableException from a couple of places
inside our Action handlers when the app is "offline" doing end-of-day
processing. We thought we had this situation covered from the UI perspective, as
we'd configured the following mapping in our web.xml:


UnavailableException
/unavailable.jsp


However, our end-of-day processing now shuts down our web server, which causes
the webapp to unload, and the unavailable.jsp to become inaccessible.  The
problem I've got is that if the user tries to access the webapp between the time
it has started unloading and the time the web server goes down, instead of our
unavailable.jsp, the user sees an ugly HTTP 500 error and a stack trace.

What I'd like to do, as it affects the smallest amount of code, is something
like the following:


UnavailableException
503


That is, if the container catches the UnavailableException, generate a standard
HTTP 503 error back to the browser.

Is something like this possible to do in web.xml? (I don't see it in the DTD.)
Or is my only option to catch the exception myself and do something like
HttpServletResponse.sendError(SC_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE) in the code?

Thanks.

Short answer ... you cannot.  By defintion in HTML, disabled fields are
not sent to the server, so the server has no opportunity to keep them
for you.
On the other hand, if you make the field read only instead of disabled,
the value *will* be sent to the server ... but the user will not be able
to edit it.

Thanks.

Use session-scoped form or reload this value each time from the database.

RE: using tiles and setting a cookie

2006-02-21 Thread David G. Friedman

Brian,

When and where are you looking for a value change with your debugger? You do 
know that the cookie won't be seen until
the response ends, right?  The NEW cookie is given to the client's browser and 
won't be seen by the server until the
client's next request.  Can you give the controller method and some relevant 
code pieces?

Regards,
David

Subject: using tiles and setting a cookie


I'm having a problem setting a cookie inside of a Controller class.

My custom controller extends from the base Controller class. Inside of
my class, I'm simply trying to set a cookie to the
HttpServletResponse. Inside of a Strut Action class, it's been working
just fine. But in the controller, the response.addCookie method seems
to do nothing. Using a debugger I see no value change. No exception is
thrown and the application seems to progress as if nothing happened.

Any ideas? Did I forget to configure something? Is it a poor practice
to set a cookie in a Controller in the first place?

Re: application resources on iplanet

I checked with my Admin who managers our IPLanet, and he says there is
no additional classpath configuration. That IPlanet creates the
classpath from /WEB-INF/classes automatically.

Struts Message Resources

2006-02-21 Thread Jim Reynolds

I have a struts application in which I use the message resources for
most of my view pages. Using bean:message, etc.

All is good. But I have created some tag libraries, in which run in
the same struts app, and I need to get to them. I know you can get the
properties from an action class through the struts api ... but is
there anyway to get them from the application context, when you are in
a tag.

When I look through the struts api, it looks like struts is storing it
in the application context ... but I am not sure where or how I can
get them. In Mesage Resources Configurtion it shows this:

key - ServletContext attribute key to store this bundle.
[org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE] (optional)

But it was my knowledge tht key was just another property file, and
you can use the key when using the property.

Any help would be appreciated.

Short answer ... you cannot.  By defintion in HTML, disabled fields are 
not
sent to the server, so the server has no opportunity to keep them for you.
On the other hand, if you make the field read only instead of disabled, 
the
value *will* be sent to the server ... but the user will not be able to 
edit
it.

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I have a simple feature request.  Can we get a method added to the
AbstractViewController class that gets a message out of the


applications


configured message bundle?  Something as simple as:

protected String getMessage (String messageKey) {
ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle (getApplication
().getMessageBundle (), getFacesContext ().getViewRoot ().getLocale


());


return rb.getString (messageKey);
}

Something that might also be useful is one that takes an optional
Object[] as parameters and then uses MessageFormat to format the


message:


protected String getMessage (String messageKey, Object[] params) {
String messageBundleName = getApplication ().getMessageBundle


();


Locale locale = getFacesContext ().getViewRoot ().getLocale ();
ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle(messageBundleName,
locale);
String msgPattern = rb.getString (messageKey);
String message;
if (params != null) {
message = MessageFormat.format (msgPattern, params);
} else {
message = msgPattern;
}
return message;
}


I've found this to be of tremendous help in simplifying error handling
code, or when I want to display a success message or something like
that.  It makes things so much cleaner.



You can do something similar in spirit to this with the existing
org.apache.shale.util.Messages class.  The javadocs describe how to
  

define


an application scope managed bean, configured for a particuar resource
bundle.  Let's say you stored this under managed bean name
  

"messages".  Now,


you can generate formatted messages with it:

Messages messages = (Messages) getBean("messages");
Locale locale = context.getViewRoot().getLocale();
String localizedMessage = messages.getMessage("message.key",
locale, new Object[] { ... parameters ... });

Is that close enough to what you are after?


  

I didn't realize there was a component that already wrapped the message
formatting and all, that is pretty cool.  But it's not exactly what I
was looking for.  I'm looking for something dead simple with minimal
extra lines of code.  I'm always forgetting what params I need to create
the message bundle and where to look them up from.  I always find myself
just copying the same bits of code from one place to another.  So I just
want something that would give me a one-liner that I have to remember to
get the message I need.

Before I started using Shale and the AbstractViewController I had an
abstract class that all my backing beans extended that simply provided
these kinds of ease of use methods.  The only one that I've found
missing in the AbstractViewController is this getMessage() method.  If
nothing else I'll just change by abstract class to extend the
AbstractViewController and just add the getMessage() methods, but I
thought others might find it useful as well so thought I'd bring it up.





I like the basic idea ... the challenge is finding the right balance between
simplicity and flexibility when you add helper methods like this.  For
example, your code looks up the message bundle defined in
faces-config.xml(yay simplicity!), but doesn't let me use more than
one resource bundle (boo
flexibiolity!).

:-)

  
That's the problem with trying to define any API though, isn't it?  
Trying to find the right balance of simplicity and flexibility.  From 
the books I've read on JSF it seems that users are expected to define 
their error and other messages in a bundle and tell the web application 
about it using faces-config.xml.  That's been my interpretation at 
least, and seems to be the way most other people lean. 

So, I'm not sure flexibility is a big concern.  That being said, I 
wouldn't be entirely opposed to another form for the method, that being 
getMessage (String messageKey, String messageBundle).  Of course, that 
does add some concern of an increasingly complex interface, but that 
always seems to happen when you add flexibility.

BTW, his log shows request-scoped form.

Do not use automatic validation, set "validate=false" in your action
mapping. Do not use "input" attribute of an action mapping.

By turning autovalidation off your Action.execute() will always get
called, so you can return whatever you like.

Re: RequestProcessor processPopulate heavily increases memory usage

2006-02-21 Thread Joe Germuska

Do you have a session scoped form with one or more FormFile 
properties?  Consider switching the scope to request, or 
alternatively, using the  element to reduce the size of 
the in-memory file representation before the data is written to disk 
(see the memFileSize attribute described at 
http://struts.apache.org/struts-action/userGuide/configuration.html#controller_config 
)

You can do something similar in spirit to this with the existing
org.apache.shale.util.Messages class.  The javadocs describe how to define
an application scope managed bean, configured for a particuar resource
bundle.  Let's say you stored this under managed bean name "messages".  Now,
you can generate formatted messages with it:

Messages messages = (Messages) getBean("messages");
Locale locale = context.getViewRoot().getLocale();
String localizedMessage = messages.getMessage("message.key",
locale, new Object[] { ... parameters ... });

Is that close enough to what you are after?

message-rsource access in taglib

2006-02-21 Thread Jim Reynolds

I created a struts application and in order to keep some area clean, I
have created some tags to handle some isolated logic.

I have been unable to figure out how to use the message-resources in
the tag. Does anyone have a link or know if this is possible?
Currently I ended up hard-coding values into the tag, and I don't like
to do that.

Great Webwork can support portlets, and of course from the book it
can easily divorce itself from PortletRequest and PortletResponse
interfaces!

Tiles is the wrong way to go for a filtered look. I will
look at SiteMesh. I am sure I have a big old Red Wrox Book with
a chapter on SiteMesh. "JSP Site Design?" is the probable title
and rings a bell with me.

Change status code returned when validate fails

2006-02-21 Thread Jose Manuel Valladares


Hello everybody,
In our app we would like to return another status code when the 
validation fails in the ActionForm.
Instead of forwarding to the error page and return 200 we would like to 
return 202 in some cases.


Is it possible to do this?

In the execute of the Action is possible because it includes the 
response as a parameter, but this is not the case with the ActionForm.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[shale] Add getMessage() method to AbstractViewController?

2006-02-21 Thread Richard Wallace


Hello everyone,

I have a simple feature request.  Can we get a method added to the 
AbstractViewController class that gets a message out of the applications 
configured message bundle?  Something as simple as:


   protected String getMessage (String messageKey) {
   ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle (getApplication 
().getMessageBundle (), getFacesContext ().getViewRoot ().getLocale ());

   return rb.getString (messageKey);
   }

Something that might also be useful is one that takes an optional 
Object[] as parameters and then uses MessageFormat to format the message:


   protected String getMessage (String messageKey, Object[] params) {
   String messageBundleName = getApplication ().getMessageBundle ();
   Locale locale = getFacesContext ().getViewRoot ().getLocale ();
   ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle (messageBundleName, 
locale);

   String msgPattern = rb.getString (messageKey);
   String message;
   if (params != null) {
   message = MessageFormat.format (msgPattern, params);
   } else {
   message = msgPattern;
   }
   return message;
   }


I've found this to be of tremendous help in simplifying error handling 
code, or when I want to display a success message or something like 
that.  It makes things so much cleaner.

RequestProcessor processPopulate heavily increases memory usage

2006-02-21 Thread willem . vermeer

Hi,

Last week we migrated our Struts 1.0 application to 1.2.8. As far as we 
can tell, we correctly followed the migration steps inbetween.
Since the migration we have noticed the following weird behaviour:
upon submitting a form from a jsp to as struts form/action, the method 
processPopulate of RequestProcessor will increase memory usage on our 
windows box by some 30M for each call. Unfortunately, this extra memory is 
not freed, not even after waiting more than say one hour. After a few such 
requests, needless to say, this produces OutOfMemoryErrors.
I pinpointed the memory usage to this method by setting 
log4j.logger.org.apache.struts=DEBUG in my log4j.properties. In the log, 
after form submission, the following info appears:

DEBUG: RequestUtils.createActionForm.300 ->  --> 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (21 feb 2006 17:59:31,156) 
DEBUG: RequestProcessor.processActionForm.327 ->  Storing ActionForm bean 
instance in scope 'request' under attribute key 'incidentForm' (21 feb

temp dir: 
C:\dev\workspace-reconstruct-hibernate\Attend\work\org\apache\jsp (21 feb 
2006 17:59:35,772) 

What could be the cause of this excessive memory increase?

Could it be that the entire Struts config is accidentally reloaded because 
of a problem in our configuration?

Thanks,
Willem

Forgot to mention.

The developers that preceded me put all their code in JSP files rather
than Java source files.

The TEM files are what we would normally put in JSP files, so they have
a combination of HTML, SHTML, and TEM. If you add the Java and JSP
counts it will be more accurate, again remembering that there's quite a
bit more functionality in the RoR version from both the test and
dynamic-content admin points of view.

Hi All

What is the state of play with WebWork / Struts Action 2.0?

I am trying to come up with a design / architecture / proposal
for a new aspect of an enterprise project.

I have been reading the WebWork in Action book, and I have come
to the conclusion that it is best to start a brand Action-Oriented
framework using WebWork 2.2. I found the design decisions in the

book to really solid, and not fanciful. Especially like the
decision to use OGNL as the EL.

I have a requirement to possibly build a new web application to
support portlets and also be displayable in a standard Java EE
webapp server in the future. Does WebWork 2.2 support portlets?

Yes - action can be used as portlets in various web containers. This is
realitively new, so check the wiki at wiki.opensymphony.com for the
latest information.

Basically it looks like the web application has to
support two view styles.

One style is the classical Tiles and regionalisation of the
JSP view. For instance you would have a corporate header,
footer, a navigation menu and a content area. This is something

that every web developer like myself has done over the
last five years.

The other style is to chuck all the extra tiles stuff away like
the header, portal and menu system. For the portlet view
just render the content region. The content
view is the same as it would with the Tiles regions.

What I want to know is this architecturally possible to
develop with WebWork now or is this on the book of work
to do?

I'm not a tiles expert, so I can't help you there. But using sitemesh,
I believe you can specify a URL parameter that sitemesh can interpet and
change the decoration of the page to a "plain" / non-decorated look.
Alternatively, you could provide a secondary mapping in the
configuration files for the portlet view - this would be good for if the
portlets are a subset, otherwise it may be alot of work.

I have called this a ``style'', but now I come to think
of it ought to be called a ``mode'' as in mode of (render)
employment.

Thoughts are most welcome, even from the Component-oriented people.

Thanks in advance
