Struts and MySQL

2001-01-31 Thread Matthias Bauer

Hi all,

I tried to use struts with MySQL (driver "mm.mysql.jdbc-1.2c" = class
"org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver") and ran into an Exception each time I tried to start
Tomcat:

 Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AbstractMethodError

 at org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat.execute(Tomcat.java:195)
 at org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat.main(Tomcat.java:235)

Digging into the GenericConnection class code teached me the following: The
mysql driver's Connection.getTypeMap() method throws an AbstractMethodError
exception when called in:

public GenericConnection(GenericDataSource source, Connection conn,
 boolean autoCommit, boolean readOnly)
throws SQLException {

at this location:

 try {
 this.map = conn.getTypeMap();
 } catch (SQLException e) {
 ;   // PostgreSQL throws a "not yet implemented" exception
 } catch (UnsupportedOperationException e) {
 ;   // JDBC-ODBC bridge throws this
 }


So I changed the catch statements in order to fix it for me.

 try {
 this.map = conn.getTypeMap();
 } catch (SQLException e) {
 ;   // PostgreSQL throws a "not yet implemented" exception
 } catch (UnsupportedOperationException e) {
 ;   // JDBC-ODBC bridge throws this
 } catch (AbstractMethodError e) {
 ;  // mm.mysql driver throws this one
   }

I think it would make sense to include this little change in the official struts
code. What do you developers think? If would be happy if someone could make this
change.

Thanks,

db connection pool

2001-01-31 Thread Andre Wittenburg

Hello,

i just looked at the GenericDataSource and thought it would be a nice
feature to shrink the pool size when the connections are not needed
anymore. If you all agree, imho there should be two more values in the
dtd for the data-source and GenericDataSource. 
allow-shrinkingtrue/false/allow-shrinking
shrink-period-min100/shrink-period-min

What you think?

  (703) 796-6014email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Unfortunately, 
it appears that JRun has an implementation bug. 
The servlet container is supposed to do automatic type conversions when 
the data type of a custom tag property is something other than a 
String. In this particular case, the "locale" property accepts a 
boolean value. 
The set of required conversions are in Table 2-4 on page 65 of the JSP 
1.1 specification. Originally, it was not clear (in the spec) that 
these conversions applied to custom tag attributes, as well as 
jsp:setProperty/, but this was cleared up in an errata to the spec 
that was published last April, at: 
 http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/errata_1_1_a_042800.html 

As a workaround on JRun, you can add a String setter for each non-String 
property, but this is not a good long term solution, because such a tag will 
not work on any other servlet engine (because the Java reflection code will 
see two setter methods, and therefore decide that neither of them is 
appropriate -- so the property will be considered read only).

Re: Struts and MySQL

2001-01-31 Thread Matthias Bauer

Hi Ted,

thanks for the quick response. Pls see my comments below.


 I've been using MySQL locally on Tomcat and Resin for some time without
 any problem.
 
 MySQL doesn't support transactions, so I have to keep autocommit off.

This is true. Here is my datasource config section (looks pretty much equivalent
to yours):

  data-sources
data-source
   autoCommit="true"
  description="Data Source Configuration"
  driverClass="org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"
 maxCount="4"
 minCount="2"
 password=""
  url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/AKTIONAER"
 user="root"
/
  /data-sources


   (driver "mm.mysql.jdbc-1.2c" = class "org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver")
 
 I'm not sure what you are saying here. 

All I wanted to say is what version I am using: 1.2c (from
mm.mysql.jdbc-1.2c.tar.gz)

 I have a recent mm-mysql.jar on
 my classpath, and then use this datasource config, but that's it.
 [...]

I have a mm-mysql.jar in my classpath, too. And as I already said, my datasource
config looks almost perfectly the same.

What I did in order to narrow down the error was a call to conn.getTypeMap() in
a separate (non truts test application). This call always throws an
AbstractMethodError exception.

Maybe you are using a different version of the MySQL driver? Maybe 2.0preX
(which is pre-release beta)?

Re: Struts and MySQL

2001-01-31 Thread Carl Yau


I have the same experience as Matthias with autocommit off. I simply
need to comment off the conn.getTypeMap() statement because I found 
the method is not supported by mm-mysql 1.2c jdbc driver Connection. 
I think it should actually throw UnsupportedOperationException or 
SQLException in the get/setTypeMap(). 

Ted, could you possibly be using Caucho Mysql driver?

Tag Library Definition Inheritence

Just as functionality can be inherited as you subclass the tag handlers, is
it also possible to inherit the corresponding tag interface definitions in
the library file?  The TLD files are growing unnecessarily large.  Thanks.




Re: Struts and MySQL

2001-01-31 Thread Ted Husted

I've been using mm.mysql-2.0.2 - but checking 
http://mmmysql.sourceforge.net/ . I see 2.0.4 is the latest stable
version as of 25-JAN. (The MySQL page is stale.)

I installed Resin last week, but had been using Tomcat 3.2 - and both
still work.

I just updated my MySQL version to 3.23 (declared "stable" as of
22-JAN), but it had worked with an early version too.

I have been using mm.mysql-2.0.3 with the struts GenericDataSource for the
past fortnight without any problems, using the jRelationalFramework at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jrf/  (you will have to apply the uncommited
MySQLDatabasePolicy patch as listed at
http://sourceforge.net/patch/?group_id=8796 and create any needed custom
ColumnSpec classes (pretty simple cut and paste job).

I am quite taken with jRelation; it does most of the work for you, but still
leaves you with quite a bit of flexibility and portability across most
serious databases.  If you are not going to use EJBs for data access, take a
look.

You could retrieve the bean2:prop2 value into a JSP scriptlet and then pass

Re: WebLogic 6 Example App

2001-01-31 Thread John LeGassic



Carl,
I was wondering if you could give me a hand. I have been trying
to migrate a Struts 0.5 App that ran on weblogic 5.1sp6 to weblogic 6.
Perhaps you could answer the following:


What version of struts are you using?


Did you upgrade Weblogic 6 to use the EJB 2.0 jar


In weblogic5.1 there needed to be a WebAppStartup.class, which I believe
modified the order in which classes where loaded. Did you need this
class in weblogic 6? If so how did you specify where to find
the class in weblogic 6? Could you share your config.xml file?


Finally, could you share any other details that may be of use.

Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

I have just spotted a problem that does not replicate under IE 5 (which i

I have a jsp could be accessed by localhost:8080/test/showsomething.jsp .
That jsp has the following

link rel='stylesheet' href='/test/site.css'

(have have tried with no directory and at root, still not working).

Now under IE 5, the site displays correctly with the stylesheets. If I
access from IE 4, then the stylesheets are not loaded. However if I enter
localhost:8080/test/site.css, I can access the stylesheet.

Other sites with css can be seen from this browser.

Is this a struts or tomcat issue do you think?

Is request shared across a redirect?

2001-01-31 Thread James Howe

I have two JSP pages which I want to have share a bean.  In the first JSP 
page I do something like this:

[...]
jsp:useBean id="bean" scope="request" class="package.BeanClass"/
jsp:setProperty name="bean" property="prop" value='Some Value'/
logic:redirect href="foo.jsp"/
[...]

In "foo.jsp", I have code which looks like this:

[...]
logic:notPresent name="bean" scope="request"
h3Message not available/h3
/logic:notPresent
logic:present name="bean" scope="request"
jsp:useBean id="bean" scope="request" class="package.BeanClass"/
h3bean:write name="bean" property="prop" filter="true"//h3
/logic:present
[...]

When I invoke the first page, I make the transition to the second page, but 
the bean property is never found.  I've debugged the code and it appears 
that the request object used by the second page does not have the attribute 
defined by the first page.  I guess I thought that objects put into the 
request scope were maintained across a redirection.  Was I wrong or am I 
just doing something stupid?

Thanks.




Re: Is request shared across a redirect?

2001-01-31 Thread Jason Kitchen

Requests are not preserved over a redirect because this generates a redirect
response back to the browser. The browser responds by requesting the URL provided
in the redirect response.

Request and response objects are preserved over forward because this is internal
to the webserver.

Re: Is request shared across a redirect?

A redirect instructs the client to generate a new request, so by the time
foo.jsp is invoked the request containing the bean is gone.

Re: Is request shared across a redirect?

James,

A redirect causes the client to make a new request of the server. As such, 
the target of the redirect is a new request and will not share attributes 
with the previous request.

ActionForward: scope of modifications?

2001-01-31 Thread John Raley

I didn't do a thorough walk through the source, but it appears that if I
modify an ActionForward returned from an ActionMapping passed to
Action.perform I am changing global state in struts.  Is this correct?
If so, I think this should be in the javadoc for ActionMapping, and
ActionForward should be cloneable or have a copy constructor.

RE: logic:greaterEqual tag (also logic:iterate with Arrays thread)

2001-01-31 Thread Pete Black

Does anybody know whether this will be the preferred method of accessing
bean methods using logic tags in Struts?

It seems a little confusing that you have to know the names of the bean you
are using when you use logic:xxx tags, but not with html:xxx tags.

If it counts for anything, my vote would be to keep the default case in all
the tags consistent - when there is no name parameter defined, the property
tag refers to the bean bound to the current action in struts-config.xml. It
makes things clean and magical like they should be.

Is the current behaviour set in stone for version 1?

Thanks

 I think here the logic tags are following the general bean-tag model by
 default. 
 
 In the case of the HTML tag there is an implicit, default
 name="[formbean]" parameter to the html:form tags, which is then made
 the default name parameter to the tags nested within the form. Of
 course, you can override this in either case by supplying another name
 parameter. 
 
 I'm actually surprised that you were able to use the greaterEqual tag
 without a name parameter. I hadn't realized the logic tags were
 consulting the action mappings now.

 Sorry for the late response but i just managed doing something very

 its quite easy to do and can be comfortably accomplished using struts..

 The link which leads to ur edit page will have the action mapping and
 also a requestParameter to identify the operation that needs to be

 eg myActionClass.do?perform="populate"


The Struts example application does something similar to this -- the only
difference is that I chose to use two different actions (/editSubscription.do

RE: Help: DiskMultipartRequestHandler

2001-01-31 Thread Prasad Kashyap

Hi Mike,

Thanx for your reply.

I think there is a bug in the upload package. The file is getting uploaded
into the specified directory  (tempDir parameter) but is not getting
renamed to the original name. It remains as strts.tmp.  The data inside
is valid and so is the file size.

I am forced to use struts 0.5. Hence I pulled back the upload package into
struts 0.5. I instantiated DiskMultipartRequestHandler and called it's
handleRequest().

Or am I doing something wrong ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx

Where in the ActionServlet is the DiskMultipartRequestHandler class

DiskMultipartRequestHandler (or whatever implementation is used) is created
inside of RequestUtils.populate(Object,String,String,HttpServletRequest).
The RequestUtils.populate method is called from
ActionServlet.processPopulate()


What makes the handleRequest() to be called as the first method
automatically ? Who calls it ?

handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request) is an interface method in
MultipartRequestHandler that is specified to be called on to handle
multipart requests.  "Handling" multipart requests consists of doing
whatever the implementation wants it to do.  The
DiskMultipartRequestHandler
reads the ServletInputStream and obtains form input entries and file input
entries.  It's called inside of RequestUtils.populate() soon after the
MultipartRequestHandler class is instantiated.

Request scope objects are retained across a *forward* but not across a
*redirect*.  The reason is that a redirect is actually a message sent back to
the browser, which then submits a second request to the new URL.  The request
attributes are not shared because it is not the same request any longer.

Session scope objects, on the other hand, would be retained across the
redirect.

RE: Struts on WebSphere

Bill,

We have the example app running on NT with WAS 3.5.2. I didn't configure it
myself but I don't think there was much special we had to do other than make
sure that you have the right jar in the classpath (xml parser etc) since WAS
puts xalan.jar and xml4j.jar in the classpath for you.  I think if you use
the WAR file to XML utility you can create an xml configuration file that
you can import into the admin console for the example app or whatever other
app you want to use.  There are two utilities you can use wartowebapp
(http://www-4.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/doc/v35/ae/infocenter/was/
040210.html) and wartoxmlconfig
(http://www-4.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/doc/v35/ae/infocenter/was/
060600020104.html).  I'm not sure which is the most appropriate to use (I
think wartoxmlconfig) but you can find them in the bin directory.  Also,
remember that if you are also using VAJ the WTE does NOT support servlet api
2.2, use the Tomcat test environment instead.

Is the scope attribute in the new struts-config.xml a
scope for the form bean???
Thanks

In both versions, the "scope" attribute of the action element
determines whether the form bean goes in request scope or session scope.

 If a formBean is spread acroos multiple but
 consecutive ( again consecutive ) pages, should I put
 the bean in session or will the request scope do
 because they are consecutive pages.

I believe, session, since each visit to each page in sequence is a separate
request.

James W.

Re: Dynamic form action?

 Currently, we do not use the html:form tag.
 I haven't had a chance to look into them yet.

 I would think that the action attribute would not be required, but maybe there
 is a good reason for it to be?
 Someone with more experience with the html tags will have to help you there.
 Anyone?


The action attribute is used for two things:
* Create the destination hyperlink to submit to (which
  you don't need in this scenario)
* To look up the corresponding ActionMapping entry
  and, from there, determine what form bean to use.
  This information is used by all the nested field tags.

If you don't need either of these features, you probably don't need the
html:form tag.

RE: Struts on WebSphere

2001-01-31 Thread Hines, Bill

Someone a while back said they had Struts working or almost working on WAS.
It seems that was before the 3.5.2 fixpack that brought WAS up to servlet
2.2 and JSP 1.1, so I don't know how that could be. Probably because it was
'early Struts' that still used JDK 1.1, servlet 2.1, and JSP 1.0. I'm
interested as well, if anyone has notes on this. I know that IBM is planning
to release WAS 4.0 this quarter, which is supposed to be fully J2EE 1.2
compliant, so we might just hold off until then. But I'd like to actually
play with Struts on our WAS 3.5.2 test box if that's possible.

RE: Struts on WebSphere

2001-01-31 Thread Torben Norling

Hi Andreas,
We use Websphere 3.5.2 on NT and it works ok for us.
There are no "Struts-specific" issues that I know about except for Websphere
being the product it is...

If you plan on using Struts with Websphere on Linux the issue is that there
is no WAS fixpack 2 for linux, this means there is no Servlet 2.2 / JSP 1.1
support that is required for using Struts 1.0. WAS Fixpack 3 should fix this
in mid februari.

We have at some point got into problems with reading the struts-config file
but in the end it always turn out to be the ing classloader(s) in
websphere that caused the problem...

Sorry, but I'm not to impressed with Websphere.

If you have an option to choose another appserver I would strongly recommend
that.

// Torben

Just as an FYI, the file format for properties files is actually
documented, but the location is a little bit obscure -- check out the
Javadocs for the load() method of the java.util.Properties class for JDK
1.2 or later.
