RE: OT/ Tomcat, Hibernate and MYSQL problem

2004-07-31 Thread Jan Behrens 
Hello Marco,

not sure if that helps but I have found the MySql java list quite helpfull
when talking about things like this - especially when it comes to the
driver, as Mark Matthews (author of the driver) post frequently to that
list. URL: http://lists.mysql.com/java. 

Ignore my if you knew that allready ;)

Cheers, Jan

I apologize for being stupid. I did not realize that the properties editor
of my IDE (netbeans) automatically converted escape characters as well as
other special characters... So every \n I typed became a \\n :( No wonder it

application resources and escape characters

2004-07-24 Thread Jan Behrens 
Hi list,

I extract language specific messages from the struts application resources
within my applications logic to generate the subject and body of auto
generated emails. I used to do this via string constants but switched over
to using the resources. Everything works fine except the line breaks I would
like to have in the text. I generate only plain text emails and used to have
something like the following to insert line breaks whenever I needed them:

String body = "This is a test \n\n new line below...";

Resulting in the following email body: 


This is a test

new line below...


That worked fine as long as I used the String constants (as in the example
above) but ceased to do so after switching to the
org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources variant. My application
resources contain the same string as before but the email message then looks
like this:


This is a test \n\n new line below...


Any ideas how this can happen, or possibly a solution? I can not fall back
to sending html mails unfortunately...

TIA, Jan

RE: [OT] Best practice for background service

2004-07-16 Thread Jan Behrens 
Thanks to all for their answers,

I think I will look into doing this with java.util.Timer & TimerTask for now
and keep Spring and Quartz in mind to be looked at later. I now that it
usually takes quite a bit of time to get to terms with a new framework (for
me that is, of course) and I just can't spare the time right now.

Cheers & thanks again.

Quartz is very easy to use.  No need for thread programming.

But "Job" classes are created as and when they are needed (so no
initialisation and shared object).

Create a struts plug-in which initialises quartz, and sets up the jobs (very
little code needed).

[OT] Best practice for background service

2004-07-15 Thread Jan Behrens 
Hi list,

I am coding an app where I rely on a background service to check regularly
for new mail. I want to instantiate my service component (the one checking
for mail) when the context is loaded and have it running in a background
thread. I have done only very limited coding with threads so far :(

What I plan to do is to create a controller servlet that is loaded on
startup and that creates instances of all my services. All services extend
Thread and are started by invoking the run() method when the controller
servlet starts. Would that work? How would I then set the intervall on which
my mail service checks for new mail? Could this be done using
sleep(interval)?

I wonder whether anyone has tips on this for a newbie or if there is such a
thing as a best practice on this.

TIA, Jan

I found org.apache.struts.util.MessageResources now ;) and am trying to get

Hi Adam,

sorry to hear that :( Why don't you include those two jsp's and your
struts-config in your next mail. I am at the moment working on an Struts

Tomcat generates them same error or not? Might help in finding out whether

Jan,

Thanks for your help.

I just tried this and the results are the same. 

Hovering the mouse over the link makes
"http:/localhost:8080/ExpenSysWT/help.do" appear in the  browser status
field. That's the correct path to the action, but the 500 error still
occurs.



Adam

Yes, I understand (I think!).

How do I define a global action? Is it a global forward with the path set an
action? e.g.

 
   
   ...
 


How would I call that from within a JSP? Use logic:redirect?
 
  
Thanks - Adam

Hi Adam,

I thought that it might be that - as you are not in any "action" before you
actually login - you need to define a global forward for Struts to associate
an action (e.g. a forward) with it. After you have logged in, you are sort
of within the controll-flow and therefore your defined action will be found
but before that, you need a global action to enter the controll-flow...

Just out of curiosity, have you tried it?

Thanks Jan,


You may be right but I am not sure how this would help

The "login" global forward redirects the user to a Login.jsp page. From
Login.jsp 2 actions can be called: "login.do" and "help.do". login.do
validates the user and logs them in. help.do displays help.

The weirdness is that login.do always works. help.do does not *until* the
user has logged in once. 

I would have thought that if Tomcat was setup wrong then neither action
would work, but I am grasping at straws :-)

Hi Adam,

I am new to Struts so this is more of a shot in the dark but anyway... Could
it be that the problem is that you only have one global forward pointing to
your login? So from a controll flow point of view wouldn't that mean that
you can only access login.do as an entry to your system? Have you tried
adding a global forward for your help.do as well?

Cheers, Jan

Folks,


I have a strange problem that is confusing me:

I have a simple login page with a Help button defined like this:

"


When pressed, the JavaScript displayHelp() method below is called:

function displayHelp(context)
{
 [snip]

  var url = ""  
  url += "?context=" + context;

 [snip]

  window.open(url, "HelpWindow", windowOptions);
}



This page is the first page that the user sees, having been redirected from
index.jsp like this:






The problem is that before a user logs in, pressing the "Help" button
results in the error "HTTP Status 500 - No Context configured to process
this request" being displayed. 

However after a user logs in (and presses the browser back button to return
to the login page) the link works fine and the help is displayed OK.


Its as if the act of logging in sets up a context within which the actions
work



The relevant bits of my struts-config looks like this:


 


 
   
 

 
  
  
 



Does anyone know what is going on here?
Why does the "/help.do" action URL work after the user has logged in

RE: Newbie question re. CSS and Struts

2004-06-26 Thread Jan Behrens 
Thanks Matthias,

looks like a powerfull tool for formatting tables, on first glance it seemed
a bit of an overkill for what I need to do though. I wonder, what the
general approach for this is? I mean, do many people use CSS in combination
with Struts or do you normally attache something like  to each
property in your message property file, or...

TIA Jan

Newbie question re. CSS and Struts

Hi List,

I wonder what would be a "best practice" for formating output when using
Struts. Is there such a thing as a struts.css that gets included by default
and might even contain elements for each / some tags out of the tld's?
