I have also used this in the past, but without execution errors (I'm

I, too, felt this was an 'ugly' solution because the Struts Controller
is bypassed and you cannot change your mind about unchaining those
actions without editing Java. I read somewhere authoritative that
ActionForward was created for just this purpose; you chain the actions
in the Struts config file instead.
However, chaining actions programmatically could be a perfectly valid
thing to do though...I've only been using Struts for three months ;-)

I do exactly this in my own apps. I use Struts forward Actions in my

exsiting Struts forwards and 'showList' method work):
Struts-Config.xml:
=
Your Action class:
=
public ActionForward execute(/* the usual args */) {
ActionForward forward = new ActionForward("defaultErrHandler");
String method= request.getParameter("method");
if (method!= null && !method.equals("")) {
if (method.equalsIgnoreCase("showList")) {
forward = showList(mapping, form, request, response);
}
else {
forward = super.execute(mapping, form, request, response);
}
}
return forward;
}
...
public ActionForward moveDown(/* the usual args */) {
...
// Success! Now refresh the re-ordered list:
return mapping.FindForward("successShowList");
}
public ActionForward showList(/* the usual args */) {
// hit the DB for the new list and forward to the JSP
// etc.
}
To summarise:
(1) The 'moveDown' handler is called.
(2) It looks up "successShowList" thereby forwarding to
"/forward/product/showList".
(4) "/forward/product/showList" forwards back into your Struts Action
class with a 'method' parameter called 'showList' causing your existing
'showList' method to execute.
That's all off the top of my head Riyad. But I use that approach all
the time.

For example, receiving an integer value "ABCDEFG" might cause unexpected results. This is just my understanding. If theres more to it, them I'm happy to learn :) That is my understanding too. A simple example: Imagine your form models a personnel record. You have a field to hold an employee's Age. Being a clever Struts designer you add a String (not an Integer) property to the Struts form bean to hold the employee's Age. You have Struts Validation enabled. If someone types "QWERTY" into that Age field on the HTML form, your Struts validation checks can trap it and the form will be forwarded back to the user with (perhaps) the Age field showing "QWERTY", highlighted with a "QWERTY is not a valid Age" error message. But: if that property had been modeled originally as an Integer, then "QWERTY" would never make it into the form bean (because "QWERTY" cannot be converted to an Integer). Which in turn means that when the form is re-displayed to show the user's error, the string "QWERTY" will not be seen in the Age field; the field would be empty. Read-write Integer properties on form beans will work great until users enter bad data. Read-only properties are unaffected of course.

The best I can come up with (shooting from the hip) is to create an

the column-2 value. Populate each bean, put them in a list, then
iterate over that list. Something like this:
List names = new ArrayList();

TwoColBean b = new TwoColBean();
b.setCol1("name" + i++);

Best practice: when to convert message resources to actual strings?
Hi again
Like a good little girl, I have located all my app's GUI strings in a
message resource bundle for I18N purposes. This includes the strings
that appear in drop-down select fields that I use as options menus.
There are several of these menus in my pages and their contents are, for
all intents and purposes, NOT dynamic.
So now I have to convert all the message resources in those menus to
their i18n string equivalents at run time (essentially rewriting the
menus' texts). But where should I do it, and when?
In the JSP? The Form Bean? The Action? Or, *gasp* the EJB?
JSPs:
The purist might do it here. Maybe something like this:
" />
(Actually I don't think that's going to work as I've written it...)
But the menu would be rewritten every hit of the page. Viva Hotspot.
FORM BEAN:
In the 'menuItems' setter/getter:
public setMenuItems(List menuItems) {
// convert vanilla menu to i18n-specific
Iterator i = menuItems.iterator();
while (i.hasNext()) {
MenuItem m1 = (MenuItem)i.next();
MenuItem m2 = new MenuItem();
m2.setId( m1.getId() );
m2.setValue( resources.getString( m1.getValue() ) );
this.menu.add(m2);
}
}
public List getMenuItems() {
return this.menu;
}
The menu is localized the first time the form bean is used.
ACTION CLASS:
Same kind of Java as the form bean. The Action would suck the pre-i18n
menus from the DTOs as they are retrieved and convert them on-the-fly
before depositing them in the form bean just prior to forwarding to the
pages. But this seems like the wrong place. I really want my Actions
to merely manage DTO hand-off between my EJBs and my form beans.
EJBs:
Well, the pre-i18n menus are stored in the DB anyway. My EJBs could hit
the DB at start-up, convert the menus to i18n-specific and cache them
for the lifetime of the app. The DTOs would always have ready-rolled
strings then. But again, this feels wrong; surely GUI strings are a
presentation tier issue?
Any thoughts?

Losing my mind: why can't my JSP use the getter on my form bean??
Hi guys
I've got a simple form bean and a simpler JSP. I can get the JSP to
pull some values from the form bean but not others, and I cannot figure
out why.
I want to display Select menus in a variable number of rows. I managed
to figure out indexed properties (at loong last) and so the
html:select tags are working. It's just the html:optionsCollection tag
that I can't figure out.
Here's the Form (trimmed for brevity; the two private members are
populated okay by other methods):
8<-
public class MyForm extends ActionForm
{
private Integer selectedIdTvSystem[];
private List picklistTvSystem;
// return the user's previously selected TV system
public Integer getSelectedIdTvSystem(int loopIndex) {
...
}
// set the user's newly selected TV system
public void setSelectedIdTvSystem(int loopIndex, Integer selectedId) {
...
}
// get the drop-down list of TV choices for the user
public List getPicklistTvSystem() {
return this.picklistTvSystem;
}
// set the list of possible TV choices for the user
public void setPicklistTvSystem(List picklistTvSystem) {
this.picklistTvSystem = picklistTvSystem;
}
}
8<-
Here's the JSP tester. It's a Mickey Mouse loop to display two
drop-down picklists. The indexed property referenced in the
'html:select' seems to work fine. But the 'html:optionsCollection' tag
isn't finding the 'picklistTvSystem' property on the form.
8<-
8<-
Tomcat throws this exception:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot find bean picklistTvSystem in
