Re: [java.util.Map] How can I alter a java.util.Map while I am iterating it
temp temp ha scritto: I get this Map from a collection and collection might have 1000 or more Maps so I first iterate over this collection retrieve the map and then iterate over this map so creating a new Map for each iteration is this a good design ? Surely it is not a good design, but that is up to you. You asked a thing and I answered. Maybe you have to turn your question inside-out: Why are you putting keys as non-uppercase strings, when you need it? Maybe you could implement a java.util.Map in a case-insensitive way, where the key must be a string, and it does not matter what its keys case is. But again this is up to you, I cannot do your homework :-P Ciao Antonio - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [OT]
Hi, for ArrayList it is. But you should code to interfaces so you can change the implementation without any problems. Anf if your a is declared as a List then you won't know. The for loop is faster for an ArrayList but it can't be faster for a linked listed for example. If you take it on step further you can use Iterators on all Collections, the for will work only for loops. I am always using Iterator and a is always declared as a List.

Hi All, This ons is off topic again. When I loop for an arraylist I normally use the the first option as it seems to me that it will execute the quickest. I know supposedly I should use the foreach loop. All that I want to do is go through the list no adding new elements or anything. Am I correct to say that the first option is best in this case? for (int i = 0; i < a.size(); i++) { System.out.println(a.get(i)); } for (Iterator iter = a.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) { System.out.println(iter.next()); } Regards Neil Meyer -Original Message- From: Frank W.

Well, of course I'm going to say AjaxTags in Java Web Parts :) I think it is unique among AJAX solutions at this time because it is almost entirely declarative. There is (in most cases) zero client-side code to write, yet it also offers a great deal of extensibility to make it even more powerful. This makes it, I think, attractive to many people, those that don't quite have the client-side skill but have a ton of server-side skill. It can in essence grow with your Javascript skills. However, I will say that I recently used DWR for a project and I totally love it! It's very clean, very easy (*IF* you have some Javascript knowledge) and really, in my experience, works very well. It also offers some ready-made integration with popular libraries like Struts, Spring and Hibernate. I have no problem at all recommending DWR (I liked it so much that I'm hoping at some point I can contribute to it). (FYI, because of the extensibility AjaxTags in JWP offers, I'm thinking of writing a handler to integrate with DWR, so you'll be able to use it, to a limited degree at least, in the same declarative fashion). Dojo also gets a lot of rave reviews, as does Scriptaculous. I think it all depends on what your looking to accomplish... DWR and JWP are a bit more low-level than some of the others... for instance, they don't offer widgets and such. If your after some of the more high-level things like widgets and special effects and such, Dojo and Scriptaculous are definitely worth exploring. > 2 What is better for response XML file or comman > delimeted string, or build HTML in action class and > pass it to java script to replace it. Very much depends on what your doing. I will say that contrary to the X in AJAX, my experience has been that people tend to NOT use XML at all. XML parsing on the client is a somewhat expensive operation, so certainly if your returning more than a small chunk of XML, you might want to consider if XML is the best choice. In the end though, it depends on what your returning. (FYI: I'm not sure this is common knowledge, but I wrote a client-side implenentation of Commons Digester, which can be found in Java Web Parts. It doesn't offer the full Digester capabilities of course, but if you like Digester for XML parsing, as I do, you may want to have a look). > 3 Also if i have my own java script to do Ajax > what do i return in Action class, normally in action > class i do > mapping.findForward("success"); after loading the > form, this will redirect response to the required JSP. > How does this change in AJAX, how do i reload only > part of JSP. You can do one of two things... first, you can render the entire response in your Action, and then return null. This tells Struts that teh response is fully formed and no forward/redirect is required. Alternatively, and again I'm not so sure this is common knowledge, you can simply forward to a JSP like always and allow IT to render the AJAX response. For instance, if your rendering some XML, how easy is that to do with JSTL and Struts tags? Pretty easy! No need to write a bunch of out.println's in an Action, just use a JSP! The client doesn't know how the response was generated, it just takes the response as-is. Hope that helps! Frank -- Frank W.

Has this hypothesis ever been tested? Not on Struts, as I have essentially zero say on how it's run. But on other projects, yes: opening projects has, in my experience, led to lower quality and/or too much overhead in keeping the quality high. YMMV, of course, and hopefully other folks haven't had to deal with the messes I have--and those were messes generally internal to a company (albeit pretty large ones).

Re: Consequences of open commit privileges (was: has struts reached the saturation)
I like your analogy, however I disagree with the following: > Core Struts people are moving to JSF/Shale ... That's not true for everyone. The whole reason Shale is not Struts 2.0 in the first place is that a majority of the Struts leadership decided that JSF should not be the future direction for Struts. Some people still have not bought into JSF and some probably never will. For me, I wish I had the time to mess around with JSF/shale, but that doesn't mean I am 'moving to JSF/Shale'. Several months ago I thought I was going to be working on a JSF project, but it turned out that we went with Struts 1.2.7 instead. -- James Mitchell EdgeTech, Inc. http://edgetechservices.net/ 678.910.8017 Skype: jmitchtx On Mar 23, 2006, at 4:54 PM, Michael Jouravlev wrote: On 3/23/06, Jonathan Revusky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: In order to be able to offer something reasonably state of the art, the Struts community is basically abandoning the Struts 1.x codebase and inviting the Webwork people in.

In this case the public perception would have been that Struts lost the battle. Struts guys made a smart move bringing WebWork in as Struts 2.0. The name is preserved and all that is related to the name is preserved too, not just software but people as well. This way Struts originators and committers retain their respectable status, while WebWork guys get the market: "I was a Struts committer once" - "Oh, cool! I've heard that version 2.0 will be really a leap forward". Very, very nice deal for all interested parties. Committers work on new interesting stuff, releaving themselves from boring 1.x maintenance. Six years, are you kidding? After all, they work on a new product now, so it will be beneficial for the community too. WebWork guys get the recognition, the market and the influence. Struts Action users get new version of the framework. Who cares that it was called WebWork before? Struts Classic needs/needed a serious makeover anyway, so why not to take others' code instead? Do you care that Pontiac GTO is actually a Holden Monaro, which is heavily based on Opel Omega? GM did not have anything like it anyway, they killed Camaro/Firebird because it was a farm tractor not a sports car. Bringing in GTO was an answer to public demand for a new muscle car. Was this a reasonable choice? Um, for "true" Camaro aficionados, maybe not. For them, Camaro will probably be revived in couple of years. But software is not exactly like automotive industry anyway.

There has been a failure to keep Struts up to date with the state of the art. That is what is behind the move of Webwork over here. Struts guys made a smart move bringing WebWork in as Struts 2.0. The name is preserved and all that is related to the name is preserved too, not just software but people as well. This way Struts originators and committers retain their respectable status, while WebWork guys get the market: "I was a Struts committer once" - "Oh, cool! I've heard that version 2.0 will be really a leap forward". Very, very nice deal for all interested parties. One problem is that the whole thing seems to have intent to deceive behind it. A casual observer will believe that Struts Action 2 is the continuation of the Struts 1.x codebase and the work of the Struts community. It is not. It is a codebase that was a competing product, developed by a different community. The whole thing is structured so as to create a maximum of confusion about what really happened. This is an objection that I lay out here: http://freemarker.blogspot.com/2006/03/musings-about-competition-ego-open.html Committers work on new interesting stuff, releaving themselves from boring 1.x maintenance. Well, maintaining 1.x is quite uninteresting because it has become technically obsolete, due to a failure to keep up with other things in the space, like Webwork. There seems to be a "beg the question" fallacy in what you're saying. Six years, are you kidding? After all, they work on a new product now, so it will be beneficial for the community too. WebWork guys get the recognition, the market and the influence. Struts Action users get new version of the framework. Who cares that it was called WebWork before? Well, what you're saying, Michael is basically: "Yeah, isn't this great marketing?" Maybe it is, but you're talking like a marketing guy, not an engineer. The intent behind this is to mislead people. The casual observer will think that this Webwork codebase is the continuation of Struts 1.x. Eventually, people will even point to Struts Action 2 (i.e. Webwork) as an example of how well "the Apache way" works. However, it is not an example of that. The whole thing is an example of a project that presumably followed the so-called Apache Way failng to stay competitive technically with another project that was developed outside ASF. I see intent to deceive. And that does not set well with me.

You don't have to regularly "surf" the repository. There is a disposition that all these projects use where people on the dev list get email notifications of commits. If you are a more established team member person who has kind of "taken ownership" of a certain part of the code and some new kid on the block commits some change there, you would tend to review it carefully. There is no need to be continually surfing the repository on a regular basis to check for whether bad code was committed meanwhile. You get these commit notifications and you can look through them.

If your results aren't going to be large you could do a greedy query on the first letter, and store the results as a javascript array (sending the results as a javascript array may also be easier than sending an xml). When a keyup happens on subsequent letters you could search the javascript array rather than calling an action. There would be a little more work on the javascript side, but you'd bother the server less.

Re: ajax with struts
Hello, The first thing I would suggest is this is one of those cases where the X in AJAX probably isn't appropriate. Remember that there is NO requirement to use XML when doing AJAX (although I suppose it isn't AJAX then strictly speaking). Take Google Suggests for example. They are not passing back XML, they are actually passing back, if memory serves, a chunk of Javascript that they execute. I seem to recall it being just a Javascript array that is used to populate the dropdown, but I may not have all the details right. The point though is that it isn't XML. Aside from that, one thing Google does too is they actually throttle the requests. I don't have all the details, I just heard it explained once at a user group meeting, but basically, the faster a person types, the LESS requests go across, and that is dynamically calculated. Another thing you can do is write the code such that the request will only fire X number of milliseconds after the last keyUp is received. Maybe wait half a second after keyUp, and if a keyDown fires in the mean time, you reset the counter. You would have to balance things so that the delay doesn't lead to a poor user experience, but I think that can be done. (I just saw Rick's reply as I was typing this, he makes the same basic suggestion). On the server-side, if possible, implement some sort of caching. Without knowing what kind of data you are using in your autocomplete, I can't make any specific suggestions. But basically, if you can cache a subset of the most frequently used data on the server, then you won't have to hit the database as often. Maybe its even possible to cache the entire database contents on the app server? At the end of the day there are two considerations: how many requests you make of the server, and what the server actually has to do to service the request. If this is a LAN/WAN application, you will find the greater bottleneck is almost certainly what the server has to do. If it's Internet-based, the opposite may be true. One bit of advice is to not assume you have a problem at all! In this case you may, but do some basic testing first.

Perhaps they _should_ (and, quite frankly, I believe they _do_, but I don't expect them to _act_ on it). I still do not understand from whence this obligation comes. From whence From whence Is the Shakespearean festival nigh? Oh, you mean you don't understand where this obligation comes from. I read this and it just blows me away. I guess you have a point of sorts. Nobody explicitly mentions an obligation to behave according to the dictates of common sense. Suppose the PMC decided that their goal was actually to make Struts worse -- instead of eliminating bugs, to introduce new ones. You could similarly ask "from whence the obligation comes" to try to make the software better rather than worse. But nobody has a conversatin about that because it's just crazy, right? Everybody just figures that if you have an ongoing development effort, it is to make the thing better, not worse. For example, I bet that none of the "How ASF works" sorts of pages that Ted Husted might point you to bother to explicitly say that the point of ongoing development is to make the product better rather than worse. It's just a given. Similarly, all this stuff on the apache.org pages about community, that development is "community-based" or whatever. Well what does that mean, for people not to listen to one another? I mean, aren't there things that one just takes as a given? It's just mind-boggling to be trying to answer this kind of question really I strongly believe that a guiding principle the basic idea of open source is that if someone is willing and able to pitch in, they should have the chance to do so. It appears as though you believe that if someone is willing and able to pitch in that they should have commit rights, which is not really the same thing. As a practical matter, it basically means giving people commit rights. Trying to let people work on stuff while keeping them at arm's length just is unlikely to work for long. If you're going to let someone do some work, yeah, you have to open the door and let them in. Jonathan only arrived in this community part way through this thread, hopefully he'll get bored and leave soon. Well, the truth is that hanging around here is not a very enriching experience. So... um... why are you still here? At the moment, I think it is mostly because this whole dysfunctional scene exerts a morbid fascination on me. It's actually funny in a very dark humor sort of way, you know.

Indeed, from the point of view of the technical staff or others with limited access to those managers, it often looks like decisions are being made very arbitrarily. In some cases, they actually are. Incompetent managers are probably as common as incompetent developers. In reality, most managers do have a brain and use it. Most managers are not merely trying to avoid drawing attention to themselves so they can draw a salary for doing no work. Believe it or not, most managers take their jobs seriously and make the best decisions they can given the knowledge they have and the circumstances in which they make them. By "knowledge they have" I don't mean technical ignorance. Sure, some are quite ignorant technically and most do not have the detailed technical knowledge of a developer, but they also have knowledge of non-technical issues of which most developers are rather ignorant. The question under discussion is whether managers who opt for Struts have, typically, much notion of the process by which this software was developed. Based on what experience I have of interacting with corporate type people, my bet is that usually they don't. In some cases, maybe they do, but that would be a comparative rarity. That is why I don't easily believe that if Struts were to adopt a more open approach to letting people commit code that it would affect corporate adoption that much, simply because the corporate people, by and large, do not know that much about how open source software really is developed. You yourself seem to be operating under various misconceptions in this regard. You have, from what I see, a misplaced confidence in the procedures that allowed the current committers to actually become committers. I get the feeling that you don't have a sense of just how arbitrary the whole thing is. Anyway, supposing for the sake of argument that what you believe is true, then this leads to another basic question. Would such a belief be well founded? (I mean the belief that it would somehow become riskier to use Struts, say, if the barriers to becoming a committer were drastically lowered.) Now we're leaving empiricism for speculation. No, because the above propositions can, in principle, be put to an empirical test. The one thing that's clear is that technical progress on Struts ground to a halt and they were superseded technically by Webwork, which was not developed at ASF. So, what is not speculative at all, is that the development process did not have very good results. In order to be able to offer something reasonably state of the art, the Struts community is basically abandoning the Struts 1.x codebase and inviting the Webwork people in. The Webwork 2.2 codebase then gets rechristened "Struts Action Framework 2". But what has happened is definitely a failure of the Struts people to stay competitive technically. Meanwhile, in my following of this discussion, it is clear that there are people who were able and eager to pitch in and work on the code, who, due to this process, were unable to. Obviously, it is completely natural to wonder whether Struts 1.x development would not be in a healthier state if it had been easier for new people to get involved. This is actually the question that interests me. If people believe this but it's not true, then well... you know, should one condition one's behavior based on other people's misguided beliefs? Or actually, in this case, the misguided beliefs you are speculating that certain other people may hold... You've extrapolated several suppositions, here. Who says their beliefs are misguided? Reread it carefully, Geoge. I didn't say that they were definitely misguided. I just said they might be. "If people believe this but it's not true, should one condition one's behavior on people's misguided beliefs?" It was the first part of a conditional. You didn't quite grasp that, it seems. I presume from these statements that you're rather young. In my youth, I tended to believe that those who didn't agree with my beliefs were misguided. And I was not shy of telling them so. When was your youth? I am in my early forties. Am I in my youth? But even supposing that I am right and they are wrong (and I no longer believe that these are boolean values), I am unlikely to convince them by announcing that they're all wrong. They will naturally think, "On the one hand, I have this kid without the experience to understand the issues which I'm balancing telling me that I'm wrong. Well, in this exact case, you're unlikely to convince them of anything. These are people who simply don't listen. Could this possibly be lost on you at this point, George? :-) Really...

Proceeding on that assumption, let me explain a little to you. Scott Adams has made his fortune displaying the cynical view of managers that you describe.

They will naturally think, "On the one hand, I have this kid without the experience to understand the issues which I'm balancing telling me that I'm wrong. On the other hand, my view of the world and the way it works has done pretty well for me so far." Do you doubt everything you've learned when someone walks up and says you're wrong? I thought not. Is your lack of success in convincing someone that they're wrong their problem or yours? Do you want to do something about that lack of success? Or do you like that status quo? If you like futile arguments, then you seem to be doing a fine job on your own. But if you want to argue more effectively, then I can suggest the AYE Conference (http://www.ayeconference.com/conference.html). And if you can't find the time or money to attend, there's still lots of good information in the blogs and articles of the people who put on that conference--more than you could assimilate in a lifetime. > Well, what I see is that there are people here (not just me) > seriously > questioning whether the so-called "Apache Way" is really all it's > cracked up to be.

Sometimes, you post something worth reading...
PREFACE: "You" is slang for a nice Southern "You all." :) I can't speak for anybody else, but I don't have an "inability to handle email". Or maybe I do, and I just don't know how to code a filter to determine when you are posting crap, and when you aren't. Regardless, I'm generally interested in trying to help people and genuinely interested in being helped. But the fact is that the previous week had a poor signal/noise ratio and I've been able to do neither. So, I'm suggesting that everybody ask the following question of themselves before hitting "Send" (ESPECIALLY when you know you're in a pissin' match): "Will this email provide any value to any member of this list other than myself?" If not, then please be courteous enough to send a private email. Because maybe, just maybe, it's not that important to have the last word in a public forum. -Dennis

Re: Get a list of defined Struts actions at runtime
Brantley Hobbs ha scritto: All, At runtime I need to get a list of /all/ the actions that are defined in Struts. I'd rather not extract them directly from the conf file(s) unless it's absolutely necessary, but I don't (readily) see an API for doing this so I might be forced into it. It seems a bit difficult but... It seems that ModuleConfigImpl has a list of ActionConfig, that is what you need. The problem is that only ActionServlet can access to ModuleConfig. But you have to subclass ModuleConfigImpl to get the actionConfigList field, because it seems that there is no getter method. I hope this is a good hint.

James Mitchell wrote: Jonathan, I can't seem to find your patch to fix the website anywhere in bugzilla. Can you point me to it? James, I understand that this is some kind of attempt at sarcasm. The problem is that you're obviously not really thinking about what you're saying. Oh, maybe you are right. What I really meant to say is "put up or shut up". Maybe that's what you meant to say but you didn't have the intestinal fortitude to say it so you posted the asinine stuff about a patch. What I was commenting on, the confused message of the front web page is not a closed-ended technical issue that could ever be resolved by submitting a patch and you knew that. The comment about a patch was not made in good faith. The only excuse for not helping is not knowing how or not having time. And we have the "how" covered under the FAQ link, and since you are obviously a very successful part of Freemarker, I doubt this fits you. So, again, why have you not offerred to help explain things better? Let's get some first principles clear here. I do not owe you anything. I have no recollection of ever having incurred an obligation to you or your colleagues in any way whatsoever. Some Struts users do use Struts in conjunction with FreeMarker, so I have some interest in what is going on in connected things in this space but I have never used Struts professionally. So, the basic tone of: "why haven't you done this or that yet?" is utterly and completely misplaced. I do not even have to give you any feedback on your web page whatsoever. But I did. I did something potentially helpful that I did not have to do. Very simply put: I don't owe you anything. But James, here is how a well brought up adult reacts when somebody offers him something. He says "thank you". I really suggest that the next time somebody gives you any feedback on your work, this is the first thing you should make sure to say: "Thank you." These are very basic human standards of behavior. This public thread has fostered some private correspondence where people just say stuff to me like: "My god what a disastrous state this Struts project is in". There are a lot of people who think this. Now, finally, watching you guys in action, I have come to the conclusion that, basically, the behavior here does not meet basic human standards. I guess a lot of it is immaturity, people who haven't learned to handle criticism. But, as a practical matter, if you behave like this, who on earth is ever going to give you any feedback on your website or anything else for that matter? It is my considered opinion that if you develop anything, be it software or the website that describes the software or anything else, and you cut yourself off from considering any people's feedback, your activity will revert into something that is basically masturbatory. Did you just come here to complain? In the case we are discussing, I offered some good-faithed feedback regarding the front page of struts.apache.org. Actually, Henri Yandell explicitly asked me what I thought was wrong with the page and I told him. I thought it proper to answer his question. I believed he was asking the question in good faith and I answered the question in good faith. Trust me, your complaints do not affect the compensation I get from the ASF. I am richly rewarded for my contributions. In fact, I still get dividends from time to time. Just the other day I got an email from someone thanking me for helping with a particularly difficult issue they had struggled with until Google landed them on a response I had made a few months back, which helped them get to a solution much faster than they would have on their own. That's my currency. Let's try to deconstruct what you're saying implicitly: A potential user hits your website and cannot, on the basis of the text there, understand what the product is or does. I see, so you speak for EVERYONE now, correct? James, this is surely a straw man. When did I say that I speak for everybody? Whatever I say is just my opinion. It so happens that on this and some other matters, I know that some people agree with me. But no, I just speak for myself. You seem to be suggesting that this very same individual should offer a patch to fix this issue. That's not what I said. Whatever you said, you did ask me where my patch was. If I consider your explanation of what Struts is to be unclear, I am supposed to offer a patch that defines *your* project. This is not reasonable by any stretch of the imagination. In any case, you know it was not reasonable. It was an exercise in sarcasm. You claim that someone who hits the website cannot understand what the product is or does. How can you claim this unless you actually DO understand what it is and therefore it must be confusing for someone who doesn't. Do you see the difference? No, that doesn't follow logically. Thin

How can you claim this unless you actually DO understand what it is and therefore it must be confusing for someone who doesn't. Do you see the difference? Furthermore, for you to even suggest that this is confusing means that you actually do care about what people think about Struts. Am I wrong? If not, then why have you only offerred criticism and not a patch? Or in other words: The "bug" that a person reports is that the text on a website is basically incomprehensible. He doesn't understand what you're talking about. So he offers a patch so that *HE* now will understand WTF *YOU* are talking about. See above explanation. Do you see the basis for Monty Python skit here? To use your own words, "Well, yeah... blah blah". Look, James, obviously it is up to the Struts people to explain clearly what their product is. No, it isn't. As Ted and others have explain NUMEROUS times in the past. We are here to scratch an itch! We are here to build the software that WE want to use for OUR projects. It just so happens that a few of us spend some extra time on documentation. We are NOT obligated to do so. If I'm wrong, then I must have missed that section in the ASF guidelines or bylaws. Maybe if we were JBoss Inc. or Spring21 we might have paid staff to keep the docs all prettified and such. Henri asked me specifically to say what my criticism of the website was and I answered the question. I just said that you have to reconsider the audience that the site is oriented towards. Aha, see, you do care. Do you think I'm wrong about this? Whether you do or not, should people who offer their opinion in good faith ... LMAO! Is that what you call it? ... be subjected to this kind of lame, moronic sarcasm? To me, this just doesn't seem like adult behavior. I see, well, among the more moronic things I've seen you say here more than once include: "Moreover, the fact that Struts was unable to stay competitive with Webwork even given the huge advantages you should have in terms of attracting collaborators, this seems to suggest that your model did not work very well." What model is that? You base your "opinion in good faith" on unfounded principals. The Apache way is not based on business models. Apache is NOT in the business of competing with anyone. Why do you (and others) keep suggesting different? Regards, Jonathan Revusky -- lead developer, FreeMarker project Even your signature block shows that you don't "get it". Why do you claim "lead developer"? Does that make you better than all of the others? Or more important somehow? When is the last time Craig put "lead developer" in his signature block? Why doesn't Martin put "PMC Chair" under his name? Some people have misgivings about some kind of perceived power that comes with committership. As if the larger the project, the more power or influence. The real champions at Apache, or "lead developers" as you might put it, have earned the respect of others by helping out where it counts, not counting who has written more lines of code. And just to make it clear, when I say "champions", I'm NOT talking about committers. I'm NOT drawing a line down the middle of the page separating committers and non-committers as Dakota continues to claim. The Struts community is alive and well and will continue to thrive under our

Re: [Shale] where to put the jsp pages and shale-blank app

If you set up something like this inside the "preprocess" command of your own chain-config.xml file, Shale will disallow access to any resource whose context-relative path matches one of the specified regular expressions.

html:option on a nested collection
Hi Guys, I have a formBean which has a collection of objects within it called Apps. Each App object has several fields with one of these fields being a collection or list of Strings. ExampleFormBean properties are String Name String Class String Student List apps Each app object looks like this String first String second List actions. --- This is a collection of Strings I am trying to display the actions of the app object in a drop down list. But am having a few problems with the option tag. So far I have this: This code displays the drop down with the correct string values showing. However where I have put one above as the option value I actually want to put something like the actual String i.e: . Does anyone know how I can do this. I have tried html:options and optionscollections but could not get them to work. If the suggestion is to go with nested tags please provide an example as I could not get far with this either. Secondly, If I submit the form but have modified two rows from the drop down when I get to the action class how can I know which rows I have modified. Thanks in advance
Re: Strange Form Reset Behavior
In the example below, the "FirstAction" action is responsable for getting a list from the db and pass it to the form "Form". During the execution of the "action.First" class, doesn't exists yet any instance of the form. When the "action.First" class redirects to the "form.jsp", after loading the refered list, there exists an action="/FirstActionSubmit"> and here the Struts creates a new instance of the form. So, how can I pass the list loaded in the "FirstAction" to the "Form", without using request?

Re: Strange Form Reset Behavior
If you want to just return to the same page after you submit, then simply provide that as the return value in your Action and have it mapped just like you would for going to any other page in your flow. There is no difference what so ever. Maybe I'm confused what you are trying to accomplish? No, you're not confused. This is exatcly what I want, and what I tough. Simple like that. You should be populating your form in the Action, not the reset. How? Supose I have a form with an select combo. The itens should be populated with a database result.

Hello, As a mortal user i would suggest that all this discussion to be taken somewhere else, but i have a strong feeling that the motives behind this and many other thread posts during the last few months are actually fed by the visibility of the mailing list itself.

Let's try to deconstruct what you're saying implicitly: A potential user hits your website and cannot, on the basis of the text there, understand what the product is or does. You seem to be suggesting that this very same individual should offer a patch to fix this issue. Or in other words: The "bug" that a person reports is that the text on a website is basically incomprehensible. He doesn't understand what you're talking about. So he offers a patch so that *HE* now will understand WTF *YOU* are talking about. Do you see the basis for Monty Python skit here?

I don't believe this is true - from what I see Jonathan Revusky's only desire is to see the demise of Apache - Very good, Niall. Since you're so good at reading my mind, could you tell me how I plan to bring this about? he has no interest in Struts or Web Frameworks at all, except if they use/support his Freemarker templating tool. Well, to an increasing extent, they basically all do. The default presentation technology in Webwork a.k.a. Struts Action 2 is in fact FreeMarker. FreeMarker is also increasingly popular in Spring-land. In general, I am interested in the web application space. It probably is true that I am largely concerned with things as they relate to FreeMarker. Dakota on the other hand is a different matter - he at least has been part of this community for a long time, although I understood he now uses Spring MVC rather than Struts (I'm sure if I have this wrong he will correct/clarify this). From what I see though, neither is actually interested in Struts - except in a negative way. The disappointing thing from my perspective is that the valid points they make are lost in the noise of the insults and FUD they spread. As regards insults, there is a difference of perspective here. My own feeling is that in all of my posts I have exercised a great degree of self-restraint. If I were to express forthrightly in modern English vernacular what I think of some of the people here, it would be rather ugly. You have to understand that I am somebody who really believes that a core idea in open-source is that people who are willing and able to contribute should be allowed to do so. This whole line that you have to have some self-selected elite who keep everybody else's grubby unwashed hands off the code is to me something completely laughable and basically contemptible. You have parts of the conversation where people literally claim that the managers of the project do not have to listen to criticism. I responded to this individual _respectfully_ I think. I suggested respectfully that he reconsider this viewpoint. I could have responded with much less self-restraint. As regards FUD, if I have said anything false, then address it. Otherwise, I think you should retract the statement, Niall. I strongly believe that a guiding principle the basic idea of open source is that if someone is willing and able to pitch in, they should have the chance to do so. Now, any approach should still be judged on results. What I consider amazing is that when this closed club approach has clearly failed, that you have had to accept that this community's work was not competitive with Webwork, you guys still talk with this level of arrogance, and still assert that the closed club approach is the right way. You guys talk so much about meritocracy but do not accept the logic and structure of meritocracy in any real way. If you want to be arrogant, win the competition, produce the better framework. If you lose the competition, you have to be humble and consider your mistakes. Jonathan only arrived in this community part way through this thread, hopefully he'll get bored and leave soon. Well, the truth is that hanging around here is not a very enriching experience. Now, concretely, I just responded to Henri Yandell's question about the website. Would you prefer that I refrain from other similar comments? If you request that I refrain from further such criticism, I will respect your request.

Henri Yandell wrote: On 3/22/06, Jonathan Revusky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Henri Yandell wrote: foo.apache.org maps to a PMC, which maps to a coding community, not to a codebase. Henri, I feel I should give you a bit of end-user feedback. I am not active in any apache.org projects, but, obviously, it happens quite frequently that I go visit the front page of a given apache.org project, to check it out for whatever needs I have at that moment. ´ FYI, when I visit foo.apache.org, I am not there for the PMC or whatever ASF bureaucratic construct. I'm there for the code. In general, when I visit the front page of a project, I like to be able to figure out what the thing is fairly quickly. This is definitely a problem with Struts currently. So that's a website issue ie) how to join/find the community rather than an issue in how the community itself is structured. Do you have suggestions to improve the Struts website so that things are more clear? There's not a website at the ASF that couldn't be made a bit clearer. Well, just go to http://struts.apache.org/ and look at it and imagine that you don't know anything about what struts is. I put it to you that the reader who hits your front page should not be supposed to know what the thing is. What is strange about it is that whoever wrote the page tacitly recognizes that it is a confused jumble and spends most of the page trying to rationalize it. "Why two frameworks?" followed by "Why so many subprojects?" What is also patently obvious is that the two rhetorical questions are posed on the page, and never, AFAICS, answered satisfactorily. And then the text there just assumes all kinds of insider knowledge that the reader of the front page really IMHO should not be assumed to know. Now, you can go look at the page, Henri, and maybe you think it's okay. If you do think the whole thing is really A-OK, then we have a difference of opinion. Here is the basis of it: Who is the intended audience for this text? I guess we have different answers for that. (I could almost characterize it as that the author's intended audience in "Why two frameworks?" and so on is himself!) I don't think this is a problem of website organization. The website problem _reflects_ a deeper problem. Regards, Jonathan Revusky -- lead developer, FreeMarker project, http://freemarker.org/ So: If Shale, Struts 1.x and Struts 2.x are being developed by the same community - Nah, my understanding is that this isn't really the case. There is a Struts 1.x which is basically in maintenance mode. There is a Struts Action Framework 2.x which is basically Webwork (until recently a completely separate *competing* product developed outside of ASF) and that's a completely separate team at the moment. Right, so two communities merging. This is all good - it's probably natural that you'll see the old hands maintaining the 1.2/1.3 releases instead of the Webwork guys, but who knows. Plus there will be new committers, maybe some who just focus on 1.3 because the community wants to keep it alive. And Shale is something with a completely different approach, and I assume, has a separate team. Team-wise, everybody in Struts has access to all the code. They're also using the same mailing list, and are components in the same Bugzilla project. All great ways to keep the community together. Looking at viewcvs quickly; I immediately see overlap. People committing to shale who are committing to action-1; and the same for action-2. There will definitely be a focus for each person - but it's easy to see cross-pollination at work. Struts is a cool community. The users are actively involved, in terms of answering and asking; people obviously care about the community - as shown by both your and Dakota's questions and by the desire of the committers to work to keep things together; and there's an active future happening plus legacy being actively maintained by both contributors and committers. Yes, shale and action might move apart as the months/years go by and at some point they might want to separate, but right now it doesn't look like an unhealthy situation to me. These things tend to evolve quite happily - someone like yourself raises a question of whether it's time to make an evolutionary leap, and the community responds. In the case of this thread I think it's not time for the leap. Hen - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi I am using struts and my application downloads data in a PDF file. To make sure the download was successful I close the stream or flush it. Now I want to continue with my session by forwarding to another Struts action, unfortunately when the request is closed you cannot do a thing. Is there a way to move to another Struts action in this scenario? What if you want to give the user a confirmation screen with additional info?

Re: Regards ajax
Take a look at the dwr framework. It allows you to easily map server object request to local forms / div It's prety easy to use, and convert server dwr exposed objects to javascript object, with similar method names. It pretty looks from javascript point of view like having an asynchronous version of the server object available locally :) gomathi a écrit : >Hi >I want to use ajax in my java application.How to use it. >Any samples for one jsp page that contains some fields. >Kindly Regards >gomes > > >- >To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
