As Hubert pointed out, there are already ways to do augment the initialization
process without getting involved in this specific listener.  That said, I would
probably do something to make the chain extensible/replaceable.

My intention, again, is to try to start down the path of integrating Struts 1.x
compatibility in SAF 2.x.  My idea (more of a gut feeling than a thoroughly
reasoned stance) is that integration is better than just dropping in
ActionServlet and making things go in parallel.  Also, when I've tried to do
things with the init process in ActionServlet before, it has often been awkward
to work in there, so I think this will just help clarify what goes on there.

If there are other positive side effects, like testing, that's great.

Hi guys! I'm trying to run the Struts-Faces examples but, they only work when 
I run them under Tomcat. When I try to run them under Jboss-4.0.3 I always get 
the following error:

"Faces context not found. getResponseWriter will fail. Check if the 
FacesServlet has been initialized at all in your web.xml.

Any ideas?

RE: SV: Struts 1.3 and Internationalization

2006-03-30 Thread Joe Germuska

At 7:54 AM +0200 3/30/06, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Hi

And now we have come full circle: You suggest to use Strings in 
forms, but if you do - do not blame Struts?

So, lets stick with Struts, and use Double and Floats etc. We know 
that this does not work because of RequestUtils. So my statement 
stills stands: Struts does not do I18N properly.

If you use Strings in forms, then converting them to anything else is 
nothing Struts has anything to do with -- RequestUtils populates 
ActionForms, not your model objects.

That said, I think this demonstrates the inaccuracy of Don's 
assertion about how seriously Struts has always taken 
internationalization -- clearly, no one has pressed the issue, but 
the implementation is incomplete.  Having ActionForms as objects 
implies that it's OK to use non-String values, regardless of best 
practices, and those non-String values aren't handled smoothly in 
some situations.

Martin makes a good point -- even my suggestion about how to populate 
non-string properties of ActionForms doesn't address displaying them 
-- the form tags don't know enough to apply any locale sensitive 
formatting when refilling a field.  This might be something which 
could be worked out, but it makes this a bigger issue.

I think it would be great to integrate FormDef into Struts.

Can anyone explain how WebWork handles this?  I've read about the 
advanced conversion services, which look good, but I haven't quite 
seen how it handles re-displaying values in the case of conversion 
errors, and I've run out of time to trace through the code to figure 
it out for myself at the moment.

Perhaps, but doesn't that make this a BeanUtils question rather than a

from DoubleConverter.convert:

   ...
 if (value instanceof Double)
 {
 return (value);
 }
 else if (value instanceof Number)
 {
 return new Double(((Number) value).doubleValue());
 }

   if(value instanceof String)
   {
 value = ((String) value).replace('.',',');
   }
   ...

 Since the Converters implement an interface, it might be possible to
 implement them in so that they have a reference to for instance a request
 scoped class that holds a reference to the current request, and is
 instantiated by a filter. This would mean creating a very simple filter
 who's only responsibility was to get the locale from the request, and put
 this into a static ThreadLocal variable ( I do this to hold hibernate
 sessions in a pre-Spring application). This way the converter could ask that
 class to serve it the locale.

 And by the way: Referring to another project such as formdef to solve a
 problem that inherently lies within Struts does not help Struts become
 better.

   Summary: [Shale] client side commons validation not working
inside a dataList
   Product: Struts
   Version: Nightly Build
  Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
  Severity: normal
  Priority: P2
 Component: Shale
AssignedTo: dev@struts.apache.org
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Overview:
I was using Shale nightly build 20060328. See
http://www.mail-archive.com/user%40struts.apache.org/msg44124.html for pertinent
mailing list discussion. For inputs inside a dataList a row index is included in
the clientId to guarantee uniqueness on the html input id's. For example
"myForm:myDataList_0:someRequiredField" for the first row,
"myForm:myDataList_1:someRequiredField" for the second, and so on. But in
the rendering of the javascript by the struts validatorScript tag, the
clientId of the input components lose their row index.

To reproduce:
Deploy the jsp file whose source is included at the end of this description into
a minimal myfaces web-app. Drop into WEB-INF/lib the shale-core dependency files
and a myfaces-1.1.1 "all" jar. 
Start the web-app and open http://localhost:8080/shale_debug/index.jsf.  Do a
view source on the html and you will see two  fields with their id's
"someForm:someDataList_0:someRequiredField" and
"someForm:someDataList_0:someRequiredField". But in the validation javascript
function required() you'll see only one input
"someForm:someDataList:someRequiredField".   If you submit the form without
filling out the required fields you will notice that a javascript error occurs
causing client side validation to be skipped. The server-side validation works 
ok.

The full list of jars you need in WEB-INF/lib is :
commons-beanutils.jar, commons-chain.jar,commons-codec-1.3.jar,
commons-digester.jar, commons-fileupload.jar, commons-logging.jar,
commons-validator.jar, shale-core.jar, myfaces-all-1.1.1.jar
 
==
The source for the index.jsp is as follows:
==
<%@ page language="java"
import="java.util.*,org.apache.shale.dialog.impl.DialogImpl"%>

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"; prefix="h" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"; prefix="f" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://myfaces.apache.org/extensions"; prefix="t"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/shale/core"; prefix="s" %>

<%
/* Put a couple of Shale DialogImpl objects into the session (we just need an
object with a getter and a setter
 * and this class is readily accessible)
 */
List inputObjects = new ArrayList();
inputObjects.add(new DialogImpl());
inputObjects.add(new DialogImpl());
session.setAttribute("someInputObjects",inputObjects);
%>



<%--
A form with a dataList of inputs. The client side id's of the components will be
someForm:someDataList_0:someRequiredField and
someForm:someDataList_1:someRequiredField
--%>

  



  


  

<%--
The dataList is now closed. Before we close out the form, write out the
validator javascript. But
this results in a mismatch on the client side id's in the required function.
Note the uniqueness
indexes _0 and _1 are missing. Because we are outside the 
dataList there is no "row index" anymore (and for some reason the HtmlInputText
components `calculate`
their clientId's again when asked for getClientId from Shale's ValidatorScript
findCommonsValidators method
Here's what the validatorScript comes up with:-
function required() { 
  this[0] = new Array("someForm:someDataList:someRequiredField", "Name is
required.", new Function("x", "return {}[x];"));
}
--%>

Re: [Struts Ti] XWork?

2006-03-30 Thread Eric Molitor

This may be a dumb suggestion but why not implement a lightweight action
class that's in StrutsAction and then if a user chooses they can use the
full support of XWork. I'm not sure where you draw the line (you'd probably
want validation) but I cant see why you couldn't implement a few of the
interfaces. This kind of goes along with the POJO support for actions in WW
2.2

FormDef can handle the formatting and parsing of these fields.  It's
not a replacement for ActionForms, it works using them, by taking care
of their configuration, formatting (prepopulation), and parsing (upon
form submission).

In order to handle formatting and parsing, you need to tell FormDef
what format (or converter) you want to use, and that means
configuration.

So if people were interested, there's two ways to look at this: add
FormDef as a totally independent plugin with its own XML, like
Validator and Tiles, or really integrate it, adding elements to
struts-config.

Like Joe, I'm also interested in how WebWork handles this, especially
locale-specific field formats (number, dates, etc).  I haven't reached
that chapter in WWIA yet.

On what framework would this solution you are describing run? Are you talking about running Struts 1.x actions inside
Action 2? If so, that is something that has been started in the sandbox, but not fully developed. I'd like to hear more.

Re: [Struts Ti] XWork?

The code is in sandbox/ti/phase1/jars/legacy I believe, although I recently started moving it to sandbox/action2/legacy, 
but got stuck trying to make a Maven 2 build work.  The code is still in an exploratory stage, but there is conversion 
code to turn Action 2 objects into Action 1 equivalences, and get scoped action forms to work with Action 2, as well as 
a few other things.

Re: [Struts Ti] XWork?

2006-03-30 Thread Eric Molitor

Well what I've been toying with is two things the first isn't directly
related but might be of interest.

At the SpringExperience there were some discussions about integrating
SpringWebflow into webwork and I started playing with some code. What I
ended up with was a weird WebFlowAction that could (semi) invoke a webflow.
It was far form perfect and I eventually lost interest. A week or so ago I
took the same idea and started writing a StrutsAction Action. Basically the
action just invokes the execute method of the struts action using
ServletActionContext.getResponse() and ServletActionContext.getRequest() to
supply the necessary parameters. There is a getActionForward() method for
getting the Struts Action result and the return is hardcoded to "SUCCESS".
I don't know how valid this is but I've been able to execute some synthetic
tests with positive results. The next bit I was planning on trying was using
reflection to invoke all the getter methods on the Struts Action and then
manually pushing them onto the stack. My reasoning for doing all of this was
to provide a way to invoke StrutsActions within an unmodified WebWork 2.2.

Now back to what you really asked for, any pojo is an action, why not just
write a custom dispatcher for invoking legacy Struts Actions and maybe
create a new execute method such as...

Public String execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form)

I probably should just start coding some of this up for people to look at as
I communicate much better that way. After rereading the email I don't think
I've clarified anything. But hey I'll send it anyway and try to get on the
WebWork chat server later to try to explain it a bit more logically.

Re: [Struts Ti] XWork?

Sure, a custom ActionInvocation instance could even invoke a Struts Action as is. The question is how you handle
ActionForms. Do you implement the Struts request processing chain as Interceptors? Add an Interceptor that calls a
chain? Action 2 already has the DefaultWorkflowInterceptor which defines the basic validation workflow, so it would be
easy to create one that implemented a Struts 1.x workflow.

Again, we've kinda started down this path in the sandbox. Take a look at that code and see if you can find anything
that might be helpful. This is exactly the type of migration library we had in mind for our first release, so your help
will be big.

My idea was to implement the Struts RP chain as interceptors.  I 
haven't gotten too far on this, but that's the motivation behind my 
interest in factoring out the Struts initialization from 
ActionServlet into a ServletContextListener.

I haven't gotten very far on this, but if a few of us are thinking 
about variations on this, now's the time for level-setting.


Again, we've kinda started down this path in the sandbox.  Take a 
look at that code and see if you can find anything that might be 
helpful.  This is exactly the type of migration library we had in 
mind for our first release, so your help will be big.


I haven't yet had a chance to look at this myself.

Re: [Struts Ti] XWork?

2006-03-30 Thread Gabe

Don,

I was refering to phase I really, whether the starting point is Webwork or 
Webwork + XWork. 

Also, it seems from the documents on the project (if I am not incorrect) that 
XWork would still be a strong part of phase II and that there are Struts 
centric modifications to it that we might want to do, which strengthens the 
move over now argument.

Also, could you clarify:
"The first Ti prototype was going to be built on XWork, but I ended up 
just using WebWork itself since it did everything I wanted and was very 
easy to build upon."

Does that mean that you removed the XWork dependancy from the Ti prototype or 
that you included WW in addition to XWork?

Thanks,
Gabe

While I'll let other XWork/WebWork folks weigh in on the XWork issue, I 
want to quickly make the point that this equation is incorrect.  The 
original vision of Struts Action 2.0 started as Struts Ti.  It was a 
collaboration of Beehive, WebWork, and Struts folks looking to write a 
simplified, Action 2 framework that leveraged the strengths of each.  
The first Ti prototype was going to be built on XWork, but I ended up 
just using WebWork itself since it did everything I wanted and was very 
easy to build upon.  Spring was included into the discussion and soon 
"Clarity" was born with the idea of merging the four frameworks, however 
that proved too big of task for those involved.  Ted threw out the idea 
to WebWork for their team to merge forces and work on Ti, and that's how 
the merger started.

 From the beginning, the goal was to create a project that simplified 
the developers task of writing web apps though less configuration and 
more modern features, and combining efforts is how we plan to accomplish 
this.  While yes, we might hold off on new fancy features for now so we 
can get the first versions out quickly to the community, the goal was 
not and has never been a simple "rebranding" of WebWork.

I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, but I wanted to take this 
opportunity and correct a misconception that seems to be going on around 
this project.  Our goal is to create a new simpler, more feature-rich, 
developer-oriented framework leveraging all we've learned from Struts, 
WebWork, and other frameworks out there.

Carry on :)

I think Don is saying that it would be helpful to see a concrete
proposal from the XWork developers that outlines what they would like
to do. Once the set of XWork developers weigh in, we can continue the
discussion. But, it is not appropriate for us to have the discussion
here. We have no idea of how many XWork developers are following this
thread. The starting point is the XWork community.

It's interesting to note that Struts Action 1.3 has a similar
dependency on Commons Chain. The XWork dependency is more extreme, but
it is the same sort of thing. For Commons Chain, we chose to set it up
as an independant project in the Jakarta Commons, so that it would be
available to other projects too. Of course, we did the same thing with
a great number of Action 1 dependencies, like BeanUtils, Validator,
and so on.

I'm aware that at least one other project is using XWork, and if it
came out from under the WebWork shadow, them other projects might find
it useful too.

Even just here, Craig has mentioned that we might be able to use XWork
Interceptors as part of Shale. If we tightly bind XWork to Action2, it
may make it easier for Action 2 to use, but it would make it
correspondingly harder for for other projects to use XWork.

But, again, the place to have this conversation is at OpenSymphony,
where the XWork community can fully participate.

[Proposal] Dissolve the Struts Flow subproject

I propose that we dissolve the Struts Flow subproject, moving it into the sandbox.  I'm saddened to write this because 
I'm still very excited about the possibilities of using continuations and Javascript at the server controller level, but 
I just don't see me having the time to create a proper release in the near future, and spend the time to create a 
vibrant community.  If and when I do create a release and it gains a following, I might propose it is accepted again as 
a subproject.


While I do like the freedom of having subprojects, I feel we must be diligent to ensure each are absolutely necessary. 
In this case, I feel it is a distraction from the other great, active projects going on, so I think moving it to the 
sandbox is the right decision at the moment.

Struts Roadmap

2006-03-30 Thread Michael Jouravlev

Should not the roadmap page be revised?[1] Do commiters expect any
other versions in 1.x generation besides 1.3.x? I guess the answer is
"Yes, if something happens and it will be needed, or if someone steps
up to do it just for kicks". But should not the roadmap reflect
situation when "nothing happens"? So, what about future of 1.4+
versions, and also Struts Jericho, which is labelled as a proposal for
Struts 2.0?

Re: Struts Roadmap

2006-03-30 Thread Ted Husted

As Martin pointed out in another thread, many people, including
several committers, have Struts Action 1.3 applications in production.
The heavy lifting is done, and a initial 1.3.0 build  is available for
testing. It's just a matter of someone finding the time to wrap up the
1.3.1 release plans, and call for a quality vote.

* http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsReleasePlans

Earlier today, Hubert indicated that he might finally contribute
FormDef. If that happens, I'd sure it would be a tipping point for the
Action 1.3 series.

As for Action 1.4 and beyond, if Strecks is as good as it sounds,

* http://www.realsolve.co.uk/site/strecks/

a "tiger" release of Action 1.x that put Java 5 features to good use
might be reason enough for someone to start another release series.

It's not usual for mature, stable projects with a large installed base
to continue parallel lines of development for months and even years.
We're being careful in the packaging of Action 2.0 so that we will be
able to use both major versions side-by-side.

-Ted.

That would be OK with me. Recent goings-on at Jakarta Commons have led the
way on this type of change, so it's not unheard of. And perhaps by the time
someone has the energy to pick it up again, we'll have a more favourable
ruling on using NPL libraries too. ;-)

I'm kind of thinking always doing a String compare is the correct thing as well.
 We could use BigDecimal, but then it would break (and currently breaks, if I'm
guessing right) for some locales.  I think there should be a separate tag or at
least an attribute that sets this equal into "double" model.  Regardless, this
needs more discussion before we do anything about it in the nearterm.

Just for my understanding: could it be that this is more about l10n than
i18n? When it comes to validation/conversion, mostly l10n is an issue...

In WebWork, validation and conversion errors are available in your
valueStack after the needed mechanisms took place. Typically, the ui
themed widgets will then feel responsible for bringing the messages to
front. The standard ui themes provided with distro will render any error
message beside the input field it belongs to, with a changeable css layout.

Standard validation will validate the submitted form and redirect to
redisplay the form view with rendered error messages, in a typical
request-response manner. There is also the option to use client side
validation (pure js) and AJAX validation, both leading to on-the-fly
validation and error diplaying on onblur-events of your inputs. To
activate eg. AJAX validation, you just need to use the ajax ui theme,
and you're basically done.
