Digester : how to use nested tag as data ?

2001-04-17 Thread Noel Sebastien

Hi,

I would like to learn an easy solution to get a XML part as a parameter of a
method a the current object of the stack.
I explain with an example :

Input XML (configuration file of my application) :


 
  
  
  2
 
...


I would like that everything between  and  (nested tags,
comment tags and simple data without tags..) may be regarded as a String, so
that I can give it as a parameter to one method. Which Rule must I use for
this ? I tried "digest.addCallMethod("cfg/header", "setHeaderPart",
0);", but I received only "2" and some carriage returns, where is the rest ?

My goal is to put easily this portion in all other XML documents which my
application sends without modifying this header at all (like a simple cut
and paste) !
Thank you in advance,

how to cache lists?

2001-04-17 Thread Alex Colic

Hi,

Lets say you have a web app that runs over a number of web pages in a wizard
fashion. On each one of these pages you need to present the user with a
select box holding lists. e.g. locations, cities, etc. This data is read
from a database and rarely changes.

How would you cache these lists so that as each user access this site they
do not need to have this info downloaded again?

I was thinking in the init() of my ActionServlet to access the database and
get these lists then place them in the session with Application scope. I
think this would allow each user to access the data without reaccessing the
database.

Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

RE: how to cache lists?

2001-04-17 Thread Dorai, Harish (c)

You can set the combo box data retrieved from a database as a Servlet
context attribute and retrieve this attribute in your web pages using the
getAttribute method.

Code as follows in your init() method.

getServletConfig().getServletContext().setAttribute("cities", list of
cities);

And in your JSP page, do a application.getAttribute("cities") and display
it.

Note: Remember to do a load-on-startup of your servlet.

The above approach is fine if you want to have cache within a single
application. If you want to have the same cached data accessible to
different web applications, you can use a Startup class like what Weblogic
provides. You can have your cached data as instance variables of  your
startup class and every web application should be able to access that.

Regards,
Harish.

RE: how to cache lists?

2001-04-17 Thread Czerwinski . M

Uday,

why don´t you just implement a kind of "secret area" (similar to the
password-protected /admin-zone in Tomcat), that allows you to reload this
data manually (and therefore gently, for it rarely changes and you don´t
have to restart the server). If you put the object bearing the same key into
the session, the old instance should be deleted (hashtable), and the new
values should be present.

Regards,

Michael

Re: how to cache lists?

2001-04-17 Thread Paul Tindall

If you use a servlet to initialize your lists, you can simply do a post to
this same servlet whenever you need to refresh... without bouncing the
servers.  This can be a cron'd process or done automatically whenever you
edit the lists.

you could have a singleton data storage class that dumps the
country list into a hashmap.  if the country cache existed, the
class would return the list from there - otherwise it would
go to the database and populate the cache... (1x)

the singleton class is only instantiated once for the app,
or potentially once per cluster node.  use getInstance()
to return the sole instantiation of the class...

ie.
public class MyClass() {

   private static MyClass singleton = new MyClass();
   private HashMap countries = null;

   //constructor
   private MyClass() {
   }

   public getInstance() {
 return singleton;
   }
}

along the lines of that - i think...  caveat -
may have some errors above, i'm writing it off the cuff.

i think there's some additional overhead in putting this in App scope.
Also potentially costs in clustering depending on servlet runner. (weblogic?)

i'm not super familiar with how App scope is managed, but the issue
seems to be more of a db abstraction layer sort of issue rather than
a presentation one.  i'd deal with the data in the layer where it
generally is handled, rather than pushing it all the way up the app
to the presentation layer (Struts).

just my $0.02 though,
chris




RE: how to cache lists?

You could store the data in Application context as you've stated, but provide a
mechanism for that data to be refreshed (either automatically or manually)
without restarting the server.  I haven't implemented this at all, but it seems
possible.  I've considered using some sort of date/time stamp, a boolean flag,
or some other means to make the data automatically refresh.  Otherwise you'd
have to create some admin actions that would manually be invoked to refresh the
data.

I would say implement a pattern like the Observer which watches for any
changes to the data list. If any changes occur it immediatly updates the
internal list. So you will always have an updated list (no matter what) and
it is done automatically behind the scenes...

Don't forget to define your taglib before you use custom tags.

Maybe there is a  tag at the bottom of

Need help with Bean:define.

2001-04-17 Thread Alex Colic

Hi,

I have a bean StoreRoomForm which I have saved in the session in application
scope via:
StoreRoomForm storerooms=new StoreRoomForm();
ServletContext context=this.getServlet().getServletContext();
  context.setAttribute("storeroom",storerooms );

StoreRoomForm has the following two methods:

  Vector storerooms=new Vector()
  public void setStoreroom(pwStoreroom newStoreroom)
  {
storerooms.add(newStoreroom);
  }

  public Vector getStoreroom()
  {
return storerooms;
  }

pwStoreroom has the following method:

  public String getName()
  {
return name;
  }

  public void setName(String newName)
  {
name = newName;
  }

Now I want to populate a select box with the names of the storerooms kept in
my list of storerooms kept in the session.

I have tried the following:

First Line: check to make sure that their is an object of type
'StoreRoomForm' in the session under the key "storeroom". This works.

Second line: place any user selection into another bean. This works

Third line: create a bean using the pwStorerooms held in the vector. This
does not work. I keep getting a "No getter method for property storeroom of
bean storeroom." I think the way I have structured this line is correct.
Name=the key of the bean to search for; scope=the session scope to search
upon and property=the name of the vector property in the bean.

Any help in unravelling this is appreciated.

seem to support this requirement.  While if the
pageContext object can be passed into form bean's
validate method, or it can be got from request object,
then this problem can be solved.  Can anyone give me
some idea?

RE: how to cache lists?

2001-04-17 Thread Menno M Jansz


This is ok, but doesnt work if you have no control over the data changes. 

Some of our data in the database gets changed by other legacy apps, so we've 
implemented a CacheManager through 
which we obtain cached data. If the data item is not currently cached we retrieve it 
from the EJB tier, store it in the session or 
servlet context depending on the data, and if required use a Timer to schedule for the 
data attribute to be cleared from the 
session/context.

Regards,
Menno

FW: Session scope

2001-04-17 Thread Maguire, James

Obviously, design decisions have been made on the session context.

Is anyone running (or considering running) Struts in a truly distributed
server infrastructure?
Does Craig's suggestion of Serializable session beans stand up under volume?

Just looking for some pointers.

Let's understand what is really happening in order to understand what the
potential impacts are:

* An HttpSession, as implemented by your servlet container, typically
  uses something like a Hashtable or a HashMap to store session
  attributes.

* When you create a bean instance, the bytecodes that make up the
  executable methods of your bean are shared across all instances -- the
  only thing that takes memory is the bean properties themselves.

* Let's assume that your bean uses about 1000 bytes for the properties
  that are unique to that bean, and you want to save a bean in each
  user's session because it represents information you need over more
  than one request.

* If you have 10,000 simultaneous users, that means you need roughly
  ten megabytes (10,000 * 1000) of memory to store these objects.  Whether
  that is a problem or not depends on how much free memory you have.

* Some application servers support load balancing and distribution
  facilities, so that they can handle more users than can be supported
  by a single server.  Essentially, they are running a copy of your
  web application on each server.  In order to facilitate migrating
  your session from one server to another, they may require you to make
  all of your session beans Serializable.

The bottom line is that, like everything else, use of session beans
involves tradeoffs.  If you are running amazon.com or Yahoo, you care a
lot about memory occupancy.  If you're writing an Intranet app for 50
users in your department, it's probably not a big deal unless you have
very large data objects to be stored.  You should analyze your expected
simultaneous user counts, and the typical amount of memory that their
session attributes require.  Compare that to the amount of available
memory on your server.  The results of this comparison will tell you how
much (or little) you need to worry about the amount of space session
variables require.

Confusing error and other questions

Hello 
Everyone,
 
I am working on an application 
that interacts with a database. When I try to run the app, I get an error (500)

ActionMappings or ActionFormBeans collection.
Can someone offer some insight? 
Also, I have added a datasource mapping in my struts-config.xml file for my 
database access. When I reference this in my bean, do I have to reference one of 
the attributes of the datasource tag(ex:driverclass), or do I simply do a 
call to 

javax.sql.DataSource dataSource = (javax.sql.DataSource) 
getServletContext().getAttribute(Action.DATA_SOURCE_KEY);

Caching going well.

2001-04-17 Thread Alex Colic

Hi,

caching my lists is going pretty well.

In the init of my ActionServlet I compile all my lists and place them into
the ServletContext. Then throughout my web pages I pull the lists out and
populate select boxes. I have noticed a large speed improvement.

My next challenge is going to be to set up a listener to update the lists as
they change in the underlying database. All my database access goes through
a VB server we have created. In response to my requests it passes me data
via a socket. In response to a change in the database this server is going
to send me a String "refreshList" on a port.

I intend to listen on this port for this MSG and then update my cached list.
I am still figuring out how to do this update. I could have another servlet
listening on this port and when the cmd comes in, recompile the lists and
then place them back into the session. This should replace the present
lists.

Any comments on my ideas is appreciated.

Regards

Alex




Re: Caching going well.

2001-04-17 Thread Zach Thompson

I'm currently evaluating Poolman (www.codestudio.com) which has database
connection pooling and query caching.  According to the docs, the cached
queries will be periodically updated against a database, at an interval set
in a config file.  I haven't tested this package out yet, and I have no
idea if it will work on your deployment system, but it sounds like something
that may save you some time..

Last little bit of help will get me over the hump!

2001-04-17 Thread Alex Colic

Hi,

I have almost moved my app over to struts. Fantastic framework. I am being
held up at that dual select control where the user selects a storeroom in
the first box and the second box is populated with locations using criteria
from the first.

I have a class pwStoreroomList in the session under the key 'storeroomList'.

Its class layout is as follows:

  public Vector getStoreroomList()
  {
return storeroomList;
  }

  public void setStoreroomList(pwStoreroom newStoreroom)
  {
storeroomList.add(newStoreroom);
  }

the pwStoreroom class layout is as follows:

 public String getName()
  {
return name;
  }

  public void setName(String newName)
  {
name = newName;
  }

  public java.util.Vector getLocation()
  {
return location;
  }

  public void setLocation(pwLocation newLocation)
  {
location.add(newLocation);
  }

pwLocation is set up as follows:

  public String getName()
  {
return name;
  }

  public void setName(String newName)
  {
name = newName;
  }

Ok why am I telling you all this? Well, when my app starts I populate
pwStoreroomList  with all the Storerooms in the database and each one of
these storerooms I populate with all the locations.

Now when I want to populate my first select box I do the following:






This works well, the first select box is composed of all the storeroom
names. When the user selects a storeroom it is saved in another bean under
'requisitionLines.storeroom.name.'

What I need to do is figure out how to take the storeroom picked in the
first select box, iterate through the collection of storerooms, choose the
correct one, then populate the second combo with all its locations.

I have been working on this for a couple of days and through I have made
progress populating the first select box, I can't figure out how to populate
the second.

Any Struts experts out there?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Alex

This is left to the container builder?
 
How do you guy's do it?

RE: Confusing error and other questions

2001-04-17 Thread Iraklis Kourtidis



Hi 
Scott,
 
this 
may or may not end up answering your question: 
 
I 
remember seeing something similar when I was first trying to create my own 
Struts app. What happened was that, for some mysterious  reason, the 
struts-config.xml file was not getting read properly - although I never got a 
parse error or anything of that sort. I couldn't figure it out for my life, so I 
started off with the struts-config.xml from the struts-example app, and slowly 
added my modifications.
 
If you 
change the logging level in web.xml to show you all the messages that get shown 
when struts-config.xml gets read (I believe it's a parameter to the 
'action' servlet that looks like this:
  
detail  
2)
then 
you MIGHT notice that the messages that you normally see in the struts-example 
app do not appear when your app gets initialized (I'm talking of the messages of 
the sort:
Call 
org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping.addForward(ActionForward[failure])Pop 
org.apache.struts.action.ActionForwardCall 
org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.addMapping(ActionMapping[path=/prepareNewFolderCreation)
So 
basically what I'm saying is that there's a possibility that struts-config.xml 
does not get read correctly, and you only find out about it 
later.
 
I hope 
that makes sense (and that it solves your problem.)

in which scope to find a formBean request/session ?

2001-04-17 Thread olivier

Hi,

I am using struts 1.0b with Orion 1.4.5 (? one of the latest anyway).

In my JSP I have:

  


in my struts-config.xml I have:

   name="registrationForm"
  scope="request"
  input="/registration.jsp">




When trying to display the content of scope in the Action:Actionforward()
method, I have:
mapping.getScope() => session

When loading the jsp, I have the following error:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: No bean found under attribute key
registrationForm

I don't understand exactly how it works.
Looks like the jsp is expecting the bean to be inside request, while it is
in session.
I would like to put it in request...I should I do this ?

Any clue?

Thanks,

Olivier






how to restrict direct access to jsps(and have struts work)

2001-04-17 Thread Daniel Toms

Hello,

I'm using Struts and Tomcat 3.2.1.  Is it possible to set
things up so that jsps cannot be directly accessed at all,
but must always be referenced through an action?  I
had writen a  tag for inclusion in each
jsp when the above question occured to me.  I've looked
at web.xml descriptions etc., but I don't really want
to setup role based security, I just want any URL of
the type http://localhost:8080/CompEnterprise/jsp/ to get a 404,
yet still allow Struts to forward to them and work...this
would allow me to do logon validation within the actions and
not the jsps.  This would also solve the problem of someone
going to a jsp that depends on request data that is set by
the action.

thanks,

dan

Re: Data Connection Pool, solution?

2001-04-17 Thread Johan Compagner

there should be another attribute  in the datasource like this:

testSql="select * from test"

and GenericConnection has a setTestSql(String) method 
and that test method is executed right before the connections is given to the
request in getConnection()
When it fails it closed and tries another one (or opens another one)
So anyone can decide there own test method/sql statement, because
i don't think there is a common one.

Only some rules must be set:
Must the testSQL string return a result set and must it have one result
if not it is the same as failing?

This would be a nice addition to struts 1.0!

Handling File Upload Failures

2001-04-17 Thread Rack, Mike

Is there an elegant way of handling file upload errors when the file size is
too large?  I want to display an error page that indicates that the file is
too large to upload.  Currently I can only get a second exception to
display.

For example if I restrict the file size to be 500K and someone attempts to
send a 1Mb file a ServletException with the message "Multipart data size
exceeds the maximum allowed post size" is thrown but execution continues
until another ServletException is thrown.  This second exception wraps an
IOException with the message " IOException while reading file element:
ioe.getMessage()" (Note the small bug with the message generated!) .  It is
the second error message that comes through in the implicit exception object
to my jsp error page.

It seems that the real error is masked by the second exception.  Why does
execution continue after the first ServletException is thrown?

All the submit buttons will have the same label, and same action associated

Here's more information:







   


SubmitRollo is a custom tag I wrote to handle the placement of buttons on
all the screens.
What I would like to capture when posting the form is the hidden 'id' item.
It will be unique for each record.
Right now, since all records are in the same form, I can only capture the
first id.  I need to capture the unique id for each record depending on
which submit button clicked.

(e.g., exiting the application or logging off). The
confirmation page is the same regardless of the calling
point, but if the user cancels, I need to go back to
the previous page. I am not sure how to pass the return
url to the confirmation page, and how to make this
page generic (template tag, read value from session)...

would anyone have an idea?

Thanks for your help,

How to avoid hardcoding image path in table

2001-04-17 Thread Jacob Thomas

When creating a table row,  is there a way to avoid having to specify the
context name in the path for images as shown below:
   



 does not seem to be sufficient for this purpose. Also, using
relative path is not preferred for the application since the pages can move
around.

struts not reading properties file

2001-04-17 Thread G.L. Grobe



I've posted this once, but nothing led me 
to any ideas. I was using Orion 1.4.5 and now I've upgraded to 1.4.7 
in hopes of seeing something different to no avail. Here's the error and below that is the section of web.xml that points to 
the properties file and below that is the section of index.jsp  with the 
message key itself. 

 
Any help much appreicated, or even ideas of 
debugging.

Most likely you have a copy of struts.jar somewhere on your CLASSPATH. It
only belongs in WEB-INF/lib.

indicating mandatory input fields in html form?

2001-04-17 Thread Phillip Rhodes

Is there a recommended method for indicating a required field in an html 
input form?

I know I can just type an asterisk in, but isn't there a better way?

Thanks.
Phillip




Re: Confusing error and other questions

2001-04-17 Thread Dan Miser

The exception is happening in the  tag. I would guess that you
have a malformed struts-config.xml file. Do you have any error messages in
your console or servlet log file?

You can look up data-source elements that you defined in struts-config.xml
in your Action or ActionForm by using servlet.findDataSource(null) to
retrieve the default DataSource, or servlet.findDataSource(key) to retrieve
the DataSource identified by the key attribute.

Subject: Confusing error and other questions

I am working on an application that interacts with a database. When I try to
run the app, I get an error (500) that tells me:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot find ActionMappings or
ActionFormBeans collection.
Can someone offer some insight? Also, I have added a datasource mapping in
my struts-config.xml file for my database access. When I reference this in
my bean, do I have to reference one of the attributes of the datasource
tag(ex:driverclass), or do I simply do a call to
javax.sql.DataSource dataSource = (javax.sql.DataSource)
getServletContext().getAttribute(Action.DATA_SOURCE_KEY);





Another bean:iterate question

2001-04-17 Thread Brett G. Palmer

I've been working on this  problem for some time now.  I
finally had to use a scriplet to get it to work.  I am trying to get a list
of FieldTypes from a record controller (PrimaryServer below) which implement
an AbstractField object (this may be the entire problem ... let me know if
Abstract objects will cause problems).  The controller has a method called
getFieldList which returns an Iterator of these AbstractField objects.  I
then want to get the name of each field using the property getFielName().
The following is a snippet of my Jsp page.  Tomcat always returns with an
error saying it "can't find bean 'field' in scope null".


  
 
   
 
  


Here is the scriplet that I wrote to finally get the results that I wanted.


<% Iterator iter = PrimaryServer.getFieldList();
while( iter.hasNext() ) {
AbstractField field = (AbstractField) iter.next();
String fieldName = field.getFieldName();
%>
  
 <%=fieldName%> 
 
  
<%}
%>

The iterator tag still trips me up from time to time.  If anyone has any
suggestions I would appreciate them.  I have enjoyed reading the previous
postings concerning the iterator tag.

Thanks again,

Brett





FormAction Bean for dynamically created forms

2001-04-17 Thread Brett G. Palmer

What is the best way to develop a FormAction bean for HTML forms that are
dynamically generated?  In other words, the FormAction bean won't know the
parameters names of the form until runtime.  For example, if I wanted to
process HTML forms for relational database tables dynamically.  Each input
element could represent a column in the table.  I have a Record class that
contains a HashTable of the fields for a particular table.  The Record class
can be used to verify that the submitted values are correct for each field,
but I can't have a static FormAction bean that knows every form paramter.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Brett
