RE: ActionError - java.lang.NummPointer Exception HELP!!!

[Jason H. Kim]

Seems like I use this mail group without giving enough thoughts to
problems..
If anyone has taken time to read my post about the error messages, I was
ignorant. The logs from the third method were not generated because
validation functions I used in my second method was wrong - so third method
was never called, since error.empty() was false.

Although I am still getting the nllpointer exception, I am very sure that
it's my configuration problem. I was kinda lost in my two previous posts
cause I though my computer was lying to me - I fell that way kinda often.

I will make sure that my future posts are the ones that I have given enough
thoughts to.

Thank you.

First, thank you very much in advance for your help.

I am using struts 1.0 and I am getting Null pointer exception when running
validate(Mapping, request) and I am experiencing a coder's block.. if
there's such a thing..

Look at my validate(.., ..) function:

public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest
request) {
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
log4.debug("Validate:: arraySize = " + getArraySize());
if (!m_boIsProject && !m_boSigned) {
validateNumbers(errors);


if (errors.empty()) {
validateHours(errors);
}
log4.debug("");
if (errors == null) {
log4.debug("2. error is null...");
errors = new ActionErrors();
}
log4.debug("2. error is not null...");
if (errors.empty()) {
validateComments(errors);
}
}
return errors;
}

I am getting logj logs up till log4.debug("2. error is not null..."),
meaning errors did not become null - of course.. But the thing is, I don't
get the very first log message from validateComments(error), which should
execute as the first code inside the method.

the validate mathod was quite long, but I made some helper functions because
I thought it might solve the proble. - but since I am still using the
reference of errors, it will be basically the same, right? So... should  I
create new ActionErrors from my methods and return it? so that my main
validate method does get() to get Iterators and go through it??

Following is my code for validateComments(errors):










private void validateComments(ActionErrors errors) {
// Validate only iff all numbers are of valid hour.
log4.debug("Validate:: No error detected so far... Now checking comment
length validation...");
log4.debug("Validate:: isLengthValid for Sundar hour...");

Re: using XML and Struts

[Eduardo Pelegri-Llopart]

Seems reasonable to me.

Also, somebody should write a tag to use JAXB (aka. adelard); I'll see
if the core team @ sun has any cycles, if not, perhaps somebody at
jakarta-taglibs will.

You can also use a tag that applies a transformation to an XML source.

Concepts on XML & JSP interaction can be found at:
http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/html/JSPXML.html.  Some may be even
useful :-)

As it happens, I'm going to be creating the Beta 1 release this afternoon (just licked 
the last problem reported in the bug tracking system).  I would anticipate the time 
between beta 1 and a final release to be a small number of
weeks -- the only new "functionality" that I want to see added is unit tests, so there 
should be no disruption of the stability of basic Struts features.

Check with struts-example. You can find CheckLogonTag.java (and class).

If you need a really quick and dirty one (for prototyping lets say), I already made
an XML->JavaBean builder.  Currently it only reads an XML file and infers what the
resulting bean should look like and then spits it out.  I've been meaning to
explore sucking in a DTD instead of the actual XML to do this, but I haven't gotten
around to it yet :(  I've also got one in the works that just reads an XML file and
dynamically creates getters/setters at runtime.  I'm sure this has been done
before, but how else does one learn right :)

Let me know if you want it.

The Struts functionality assumes you are working with data that is presented as
JavaBeans.  It sounds like you are faced with a situation where your data is
actually presented to you as XML.

If so, you might explore some of the technologies for creating Java objects out
of XML-formatted data.  One such project is Castor at
.

Even if none of that works out, using Struts to manage your control flow is
still a good idea :-).

Most of the suggestions discussed ways to address the presentation part of
the problem, but I guess my real problem is that once I have translated the
XML data for display as standard html, I don't see how I can really make use
of any of Struts capabilities, such as automatically loading and unloading
forms using the get/set properties methods and doing validation.  This is
the problem for which I don't see a workaround.  I suppose I could still use

Make sure that you don't put the struts.jar in the admin.config or

Have you tried converting the struts-example war ?

One integration opportunity is the  custom tag, which is available
in the Jakarta Taglibs project .  This tag
lets you dynamically request XSLT transformations over XML data gathered from
any of a variety of places, and then render the transformed information
(presumably HTML in this case) to the resulting page.

In a similar vein, Struts itself uses offline XSLT transformations to create the
documentation pages you see in the Struts Documentation application.  The Ant
build tool  has a

This bug was just fixed, so you will need the most current nightly
release.  You can now have a property that returns a String array, and use
it to back a SELECT statement that allows multiple options:


... Use  and/or  here ...


and Struts will correctly remember all of the selected values, based on
the contents of your array.

There is a test page (html-select.jsp) in the Struts test application
(struts-test.war) that illustrates how this works.

Or perhaps write a servlet that does fetch, parse, 
transform operations, and then use a tag
 to import that data into 
the relevate jsp/view?

The servlet could be passed parameters from 
the jsp page to indicate what xml data and 
what format are to be fetched...hmm, sounds
like cocoon!

RE: using XML and Struts

[Michael S. Kelly]

I guess my first thought is that maybe you don't need the legacy code.
Think about what problem is being solved by the legacy code.  I think you
will find that Struts also solves those problems, or a significant subset of
them.  I'd suggest that you do a small proof of concept with Struts,
something that contains the main features of your target application (e.g.
authentication; authorization; the ability to add, edit, and delete data;
forms that change depending on authorization; etc.).  I think of this as
being a holographic proof of concept, it contains a reflection of the whole.
The point is to quickly get an indepth understanding of the what problems
Struts solves and how it solves them, and there's no substitute for actually
digging in and using something to get that understanding.

My 2 cents.

Re: Struts in Websphere, missing resources attribute...

[rbackhouse]

My instructions were for installing struts 0.5. If you are using Struts
1.0 then I understand there are some complications with the change to using
struts-config.xml instead of action.xml. Specifically struts-config.xml now
uses a dtd and the websphere classloader has problems finding the dtd. I 
haven't actually tried struts 1.0 with websphere so I can't tell you definitely
that that is the only problem. I think some other people have worked around this
issue so I would continue to seach through the archives.

On the issue of the convert war tool the reason you don't see the same directory
structure as in the war file is because the convert tool converts to websphere
format which is different. The tool should set up the correct classpaths and
document paths that websphere understands.

FYI WebSphere 4.0 will support wars (ears, ejb-jars etc) natively as it will be
j2ee compliant. Hopefully it will be out in the summer.

Re: Struts in Websphere, missing resources attribute...

[Wayland Chan]

I've found the adminserver.bat and changed the
classpath to include jaxp.jar, crimson.jar, xalan.jar
(and what the hell, struts.jar for the hell of it
too).

I'm noticing in my Admin Console the following error:

2/22/01 12:10 PM : AUDIT [daytona/Default Server]:
SRVE0092I: [Servlet LOG]: "database: Database load
exception": org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException:
Feature: http://xml.org/sax/features/raw-names

So the missing resources error isn't really valid in
this sense as my struts-example webapp hasn't started properly.

Re: using XML and Struts

[Craig Tataryn]

Vic, IMHO you could fit XML into your solution as far as presentation goes by
simply making yourself a JSP page that reads a session var that a controller
servlet setup which contains the XML doc in it.

You would probably want to do something like this (this is just adhoc code,
syntax isn't correct):

In your controller:

xmlDoc.parse("appropriateXML.xml");
xmlDoc.transform("appropriateXSL.xsl");
request.setAttribute("xml", xmlDoc);
mappings.findForward("displayResults");

In displayResults.jsp:


<%= request.getAttribute("xml").toString() %>

Hope that leads you in the right direction,

RE: JUNIT and Struts

[Shkuro, Yuri]

Since Struts is MVC:

1. Model: put all business logic into beans and use JUNIT as usual to test
them.

2. View: you can try using HttpUnit, but it's a pain to test HTML output.

3. Controller: you can probably use J2EEUnit to test Action classes, however
I
   don't know if they support reading web.xml file, which you would need in
order
   to properly initialize ActionServlet or any extensions of it (e.g., I am
using
   an extension that also depends on some 's from web.xml to
do 
   application-specific initialization).

Struts 1.1 TODO list contains entries for unit testing framework extension
to Struts.

Struts in Websphere, missing resources attribute...

[Wayland Chan]

Hello,

I've been trying to get Struts to work in Websphere
and am running into problems.

I've been following Richard Backhouse's instructions
(http://archive.covalent.net/jakarta/struts-user/2000/10/0392.xml)
and I'm getting the infamous missing resources
error

Missing resources attribute
org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE
error.

I've noticed that Websphere's 'Convert a War File'
task, it doesn't seem to create the webapp as you'd
expect. ie. I have no WEB-INF/lib or WEB-INF/classes
directories as I'd expect within the webapp. I can
assume this is because WAS' doesn't support WAR files.

One thing I couldn't do according to Richard's
instructions was changing WAS' classpath in
admin.config or adminserver.bat/sh. admin.config
didn't seem to have a general classpath to modify and
I don't have the adminserver.bat/sh files in my 3.5
installation. I do have setenv.bat which I've modified
to add the jaxp.jar, crimson.jar, xalan.jar to the
classpath.

Anyone tackle this problem yet?

tag and cancel functionality

[Christophe Thiébaud]

We are using the  tag to produce graphical buttons. This tag writes 
a HTML tag .

the problem with the  tag is that it submits "aaa.x" and "aaa.y" 
parameters rather than the usual "aaa" parameter.

Thus I cannot use the  for a cancel function because the
ActionServlet tests for Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY, in a request that include only 
Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY.x  and Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY.y parameters.

So I have subclassed the ActionServlet and Action classes as below

ActionServlet (row 1851)
 if (request.getParameter(Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY) != null) {
...
MYActionServlet:
 if (request.getParameter(Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY) != null
||
request.getParameter(Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY+".x") != null) {
 ...

Action (row 457)
protected boolean isCancelled(HttpServletRequest request) {
return (request.getParameter(Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY) != null);

MYAction
protected boolean isCancelled(HttpServletRequest request) {
if (super.isCancelled(request))
return true;
return 
(request.getParameter(org.apache.struts.taglib.html.Constants.CANCEL_PROPERTY+".x") != 
null);
}

Isn't there a better way to handle this problem ?
anybody else using  to handle cancel ?

using XML and Struts

[Fickes, Vic]

Hi,

Being new to the world of web applications and Struts, I'm still trying to
decide on an architecture to use for our application.
One of the things I had been hoping to do was to make use of some legacy
code that publishes XML from our database and then translates it to HTML
using XSL.  However, it seems you can't use XSL to translate to Struts html
tags (or any JSP custom tags).   So before I completely drop the idea of
using XML and XSL, does anybody know of any approach that would allow me to
use XML in the context of the Struts framework?  

I thought of using Digester, but since this is all new to me, my first
impression was that the implementation would get to be too complicated to
make it worthwhile.  I also ran into the Cocoon project in my wanderings,
which seems like a great solution if all you're going to do is builds
displays, but I've got to do some heavy duty editing and validating of input
data and I don't see how Coccon supports that.  If anybody could provide
some suggestions on using these or any other approachs, I'd appreciate it.

RE: ActionForm.reset()

[Christian Billen]

Thanks for your prompt response, I believe it will not work for the
following reason:

My preparation action does thing such as setting collection for html:options
in request attribute.  Imagine that PrepAction initialize a new ActionForm
setting the defaults and overwritting the one created by the controller, we
now forward to the jsp view and all fields are set to their default.  so far
so good.
Next the user enters data, I post that request to the action that
validates...this action makes server call, create some errors and forward
back to preparation handler (because it needs to do so since I have code in
there to build up my collection for the html:options)
Now this prep handler will create a new ActionForm effectively resetting the
one with all the data filled in by the user.  Not the desired effect.

A suggestion would be to configure the defaults value as config parameters
in the struts-config.xml at the Action Mapping level.  Something like
blahsomedefault

Am I making sense of all this?

Thanks,

Christian

Re: Small problem with TRANSACTION_TOKEN_KEY + multipart support

[Rob Leland]

When I originally implemented this
I had a custom tag that generated the token.

I had envisioned having the  tag
generate the token for you.
However, that is not they way Craig eventually
implemented it.

Alternatively, you can download the old implementation:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=struts-dev&m=97119585909952&w=2
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=struts-dev&m=97119647211699&w=2

These are a separate set of classes not tied to struts
so they will still work. There is JavaDoc for it.

If this method works for you then that would be a good
reason to take a look at the custom tag approach again.

Tomcat includes a local copy of web_app_2_2.dtd file, but the file name is web.dtd.

List of checkboxes split on multiple pages

[Sebastien Cesbron]

Hi,

Does somebody know how to manage elegantly a list of checkboxes that is
split upon multiple pages. My problem is that when you valid one page
you must reset only the checkboxes you have shown on this page. I've
seen a solution with hidden fields but it doesn't sounds good to me : is
there other solutions ?
Does struts provide a mecanism to do that ?

Thanks

Seb

Request for change: RequestUtil.absoluteURL()

[Matthias Bauer]

To all active developers.

I would like to see a minor change (bugfix) in struts, which fixes the problem
outlined in a previous mail from Gordon Maclean, subjected "netscape 4.7x,
session ids and struts". I attached it to the end of this mail because it
describes the problem very good. 

I ran into the same problem this morning and finally found a workaround. I would
like to see this change in struts before it is released as official version 1.0.
It simply prevents the function RequestUtil.absoluteURL() from including the
port number into the URL, when the port number is equal to 80.

Unfortunately I do not have a (and don't want to open one now) Bugzilla account.
Nevertheless I would like to ask an active developer to implement this change. I
am quite sure, that considerably many developers have already stumbled over this
problem outlined int Gordon's mail.

Here is the little change in the code (RequestUtils.java):

Former code:

> public static String absoluteURL(HttpServletRequest request, String path) {
> 
> try {
> URL url = new URL(request.getScheme(),
>   request.getServerName(),
>   request.getServerPort(),
>   request.getContextPath() + path);
> return (url.toString());
> } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
> return (null);
> }
> 
> }

New code:

> public static String absoluteURL(HttpServletRequest request, String path) {
> 
> try {
>   int port = request.getServerPort();
>   URL url;
>   if (80 == port)
>   {
>   url = new URL(request.getScheme(),
> request.getServerName(),
> request.getContextPath() + 
>path);
>   }
>   else
>   {
>   url = new URL(request.getScheme(),
> request.getServerName(),
> port,
> request.getContextPath() + 
>path);
>   }
> return (url.toString());
> } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
> return (null);
> }
> 
> }

Thanks,

--- Matthias

Select/Options Tag

[Chalmers, Douglas]

A tag reference can maintain a String from a SELECT statement within a
form bean, but only the ONE actually selected..

How can I maintain ALL the OPTIONS within a SELECT box within a form

I didn't answer the other half of this question in my previous response, so
here is some background on why the URL rewriting takes place (even though
you have cookies enabled).

When a session is first created, the servlet container does not yet know
whether the client browser supports cookies.  Therefore, the only safe thing
to do on that initial response is to send the session id *both* ways (URL
rewriting and a cookie), and see what comes back in on the next request.  If
the cookie does not come back, the container says "aha, this client does not
support cookies, so I will continue to use rewriting".

>
> The image is loaded successfully when I pressed "reload" on my browser.
> The string ";jsessionid*" is gone.
>

That is because, on the subsequent request, your browser sent the session id
cookie along.  Therefore, the servlet container knows that you support
cookies, and it stops adding the session ID with URL rewriting.

Re: netscape 4.7x, session ids and struts

[Matthias Bauer]

Hi Gordon,

I found your problem description about the two different sessions in the mailing
list archive, because today 
I ran into the same thing. I tested with tomcat as a standalone container before
and did not have the problem there, because for every URL I provided the port
number. But when I integrated tomcat with apache for pre deployment testing I
envountered exactly the same behaviour as you.

Did you dig any further into the problem and maybe found some solution. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Multiple Select

[Geddes, Mark (ANTS)]

Could someone 
confirm whether the fix for bug 260 made it into last night's build 
(20010221).
 
If so, then I seem 
to still have a problem.
 
My form bean has the 
following getter:
 
  public int[] 
getApplications() {    return (this.applications);  
}
My page has the 
following:
 
  
The 'id' property of 
the object in the collection is an int.
 
As before, the 
select box is only displaying the first element of the array returned by the 
form bean's accessor.
 
Any help would be 
appreciated.

Re: jaxp.jar and parser.jar, I have been all over the map trying to get my Visual Age 
for Java environment working with Struts again. But I started clean with fresh 
installations of Tomcat 3.2.1 and Struts build of Feb. 20, no edits and running 
totally independent of VAJ. I drop the struts-example into webapps and start up, not 
logged onto the Internet.

I can see in the debug trace that the struts_config_1_0.dtd resolving to the local 
copy as you explained. But when it comes time for web_app_2_2.dtd, the SAXParser 
throws a fatal error. After that, I can access the index.jsp of the example, but login 
with "user" and "pass" yields an HTTP 404. If I enter registration info and attempt to 
submit it, again HTTP 404.

When I restart after loggin on to the Internet, the example application works as 
expected. Do you think something is broken?

Re: Problem w/ Struts and VA for Java

[Ned Seagoon]

Hi Jerzy

I assume that the context /test your own struts app registered in the
conf\server.xml tomcat file? If so the only thing I can think of is that in
your web.xml file the parameter 'application' which registers your struts
app messages is either missing or pointing to the wrong file, or it cannot
locate the file.

i have run into a bit of a problem.  my action class calls beans that
'could' take a few seconds at least to process and return.  is there a way
in struts to have a redirect or forward to a page that says 'processing...'
while the beans are busy and then forward correctly once they are done?  has
anyone else run into a similar problem?

attribute blah has no value

[Justin Kennedy]

HI all,

I'm trying to use a dynamic value for an attribute of my tag. but I'm 
gettin this error:
org.apache.jasper.compiler.ParseException: 
D:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\mycompany\test.jsp(6,46) Attribute users 
has no value at 
org.apache.jasper.compiler.JspReader.parseAttributeValue(JspReader.java:499)


Here's my tag entry in my tld file

hi.tld

 
 hello
 mycompany.HelloTag
 JSP
 
 foo
 true
 true
 
 

mycompany.HelloTag simply calls out.print(foo)

Here's the JSP that generates the error.
" />

users doesn't actually exist in the request but it should just return null 
right ?
so when I change my jsp to this:
<%
String bar = request.getParameter("users");
%>


it prints out "null" and works just fine.

Any suggestions ?
Thanx

Re: component project rebuild / updating

[Cedric Dumoulin]

  I update Components project when there is major change, either in
Struts or in
Components.
  I have done it today, and will do it as soon as struts 1.0 is ready.
  To know the latest update, check the date in the "download" window ;-)

  Unfortunately, I have less and less time for Components. So, if there
is some
volunteers to improve them, let me know. I will soon put Components on a
CVS server.

  Usually, changes in Struts don't affect Components. If Components come
with an older
version of Struts, just replace the struts.jar and struts-*.tld files
with the newest
ones. The biggest changes in Struts that can affect Components are in
ActionServlet. But
either in this case, modifications are very simple (3 lines at the end
of methods
processActionForward() and ProcessValidate() ).

passing substitution parameters to ActionError still working?

[Deadman, Hal]

I have a form where 
I call the following (where UserForm.MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH is an 
int):
errors.add("password", new 
ActionError("error.user.passwordinvalid", 
String.valueOf(UserForm.MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH)));
which references 
this in the ApplicationResource.properties file:
error.user.passwordinvalid=The password 
must contain at least {0} characters.
 
But the html:error 
tag displays this:

The password must contain at least 
[Ljava.lang.Object;@14f467 characters. 
 
I could have sworn 
that this used to work but it doesn't anymore for me. Does passing parameters to 
ActionError objects still work for everyone with recent builds? If it still 
works then I must have broke something. 
 
Thanks,
