Request from contributer user.....

[Jonathan Asbell]

Hello all.  I am still only a few months 
playing with struts but I would like to ask if you wouldn't mind 
putting more detailed debugging in the framework.  I personally am 
studying the framework by reading about it, but most importantly by watching how 
it performs step by step.  I do this by adding the same type of statements 
as yours, but if you set a debug level of 5 it gives you a step by 
step view of what is occuring.  Could you consider this.  It is 
because it is hard enough to understand a framework when you really cant see 
exactly what is happening.  But it is a nice framewor ;^>

Does this actually work? I've had report that in Tomcat and JRUN,
it doesn't seem to return the values. Has anyone used it?

Re: subclassing ActionServlet?

[Jim Richards]

I made a sub-class of ActionServlet an overloaded the initXXX()
method that created the connecion pool. I did this because
my database manager beans needed access to the connection
pool parameters.

The other choice is to use something like a singleton or factory
bean pattery that generates the objects (or returns an instance
to an already created one) as you need it. The down side is
it may not have the initialisation parameters it needs.

who provides ActionMapping class?

[iwanek]

Hello struts-users,

A newbie question:

Who is responsible for providing ActionMapping class?
My prototype webapp runs fine with 
descriptions in the struts-config.xml, I did not have to
write ActionMapping.java for this myself. I must be
missing something.

Digester documetation seems to me to imply that I'd
have to write a class to parse struts-config.xml and create
ActionMapping.java using Digester. I am confused.

[Peter Smith]

I have access to the parameters in my web.xml file

  getServletConfig().getInitParameter( SOME_KEY );

I'd like to access those same parameters from a JSP

subclassing ActionServlet?

[iwanek]

Hello struts-users,

My webapp needs bunch of beans that should be available
all the time and accessible from all JSP pages, so I guess I
have to create the beans at the startup time and set them to
the application context.

How should I do this? My candidates are,

1) create a subclass of ActionServlet and do it there,
2) create a subclass of Servlet (unrelated to ActionServlet)
and do it there.

Which is better, or are there any other standard ways?
I don't see any examples that use subclasses of ActionServlet,
and I am wondering if there are some reasons not to.

Thanks in advance,

RE: Options tag problem

[Deadman, Hal]

I don't think the option tag will work like that. You can either put your
Hashset in some scope, call it something like "persons" and then use the




Or you could have two methods on your form, one that returns a collection of
Strings for the label and another that returns a collection of Strings for
the value. If they are the same then what you are doing  will work but you need to change the getPersons method
to return a collection of strings instead of beans.

The options documentation is confusing but giving the tag any more
flexibility would only make it that much more complex. The fact that the
attributes "property" and "labelProperty" mean two different things
depending on whether "collection" is used makes it confusing. You basically
need the first usage with an alternate way of specifying the collection.

Disclaimer: I could be confused myself.

RE: struts framework without its TAG LIBRARIES in jsp pages how?

[Nanduri, Amarnath]

Sanjay,

   Use the  tag . It will automatically create your bean. Use
jsp tags to set the properties of the bean. In your form post, when you call
the action.do , the ActionServlet will automatically populate the bean (the
bean that is mapped to this action in the struts-config.xml file), call its
validate() method and if everything is satisfactory call the perform()
method on the Action. A best way to deal with this is to code a simple
example.

cheers,
Amar..

but my question is how? If we use HTML, how is the "ActionForm" gets

I guess we have to explicitly use the ActionForm bean and call its "set"

If u suggest me as how is the ActionForm will be delegated to the

RE: New ActionMapping Class

[Michael Binette]

Great.  It worked.

I am using this so that I can easily use one action class for multiple
actions such as "view", "edit", "delete" and "save", where it makes sense.
I wanted multiple Action mappings such as /editUser.do and /saveUser.do but
have them both use the same Action class.

I used your Transport idea and created an ActionInfo class to contain
properties with the mapping, request, response, form, and my new
processAction properties.

I also created a GenericAction that extends Action, sets up the ActionInfo
and calls an abstract method processAction(ActionInfo actionInfo).

Hopefully this will save me from the many Action classes per jsp view.

I've created a ViewSubmitAction that extends my GenericAction that looks at
the processAction and calls either processView(ActionInfo actionInfo) - an
abstract method of ViewSubmitAction, or processSubmit(AcitonInfo
actionInfo) - which can take care of all other cases.

anyways...  Thanks for the tip.

If the validate() method of the actionform returns errors, the framework
will call the page specified by the mapping's "input" attribute so that they
can be displayed.
The idea is that the input attribute specifies the page from which the input
required for the action is obtained.

RE: tricky mapping

[John Schroeder]

Yuri,

I have run into something similar with Excel files, but I'm not sure if it
will address your current issue.

My problem: when users run a report, return to them an Excel worksheet
instead of HTML.
Our particular approach used JSP's to easily handle the formatting of the
Excel doc, but you by no means would need to do so.  You just need to set
the proper Content-type and Content-disposition headers.

<%@page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel"%>
<% response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline;
filename\"myreport.xls\""); %>

Now when a user chooses to save the file, the default name is myreport.xls,
and the content returned is of the proper MIME-type.

Hope this helps!

Hello everyone,

I'm not quite sure that my question is truly struts-related,
but since I'm developing a web-application using struts as a framework,
I decided to post it here.

A little proem. I'm in the middle of developing a web-mail facility
and I've come to the point where I have to display mails' attachments.
In general everything is fine except one minor but annoying thing.
When a user double-clicks on a attachment link and selects
"Save target as...", a browser presents "Save as" dialog and offers
a default name for requested object which looks like "EmailPart",
because the syntax of the link is as following:

"http://domain-name/EmailPart.do?part=1";

I know the name of the requested attachment file in advance but I don't
know how to fit it into the URL so that a browser can offer that
name instead of "EmailPart".

On yahoo web-mail a link that points to attachment looks like this:

"http://yahoo_address/ym/ShowLetter/Account%5fmonitor%5fwork%5fflow.doc?box=
Inbox&MsgId=1915_4666388_102413_741_67881_0&bodyPart=2&filename=Account%5fmo
nitor%5fwork%5fflow.doc&download=1&YY=2060&order=down&sort=date&pos=0"

Bearing in mind this syntax I tried to make my link looks like:

"...domain-name/EmailPart/File_name.ext?part=1"

And of course I failed, because the server (tomcat) treated
"EmailPart" as a directory (I assume so) but not as action.

So I would like to ask if anyone came across this problem
and found a solution. Any suggestions would be highly

on a Sybase Enterprise Application Server (EAS) aka Jaguar.
Most of the installation issues seemed to be similar to JRUN's...  I had to
manually copy the xml files from the WAR files... and I had to edit
the same tag properties because the version of EAS I am running as the same
problem casting datatypes on custom tags.

So, it *looks* like it's installed and up and running.  I have the
struts-upload working.  BUT, I'm running into this problem with the
struts-example
application:  I get the welcome page,  I go to the Registration page... I
enter my info and I get this message:

You must correct the following error(s) before proceeding:

Hi,
In the example implementation, what is the reason for having
Subscription and SubscriptionForm.
They are essentially the same.
Is this out of a cleaner design approach ??

RE: Regarding making your own tags with Struts

[Deadman, Hal]

You can change the font of the header by modifying the values for
errors.header and errors.footer in your application resources properties
files.

errors.footer=
errors.header=Validation ErrorYou must
correct the following error(s) before proceeding:

You can write your own tags in struts the same way you write JSP tags
without struts. Look on this page for links to tutorials.

Re: Struts Example on WebSphere 3.5.3

[Dan Miser]

I wouldn't use the directions from the web site. Some steps are obsolte, 
some aren't needed, and some are fine. I've combined everything into one 
HOWTO and posted it here before, but I don't see that it's made it up to the 
Struts web site yet.

I'll upload the writeup to my web site tonight when I get home.

tricky mapping

[Yuriy Zubarev]

Hello everyone,

I'm not quite sure that my question is truly struts-related,
but since I'm developing a web-application using struts as a framework,
I decided to post it here.

A little proem. I'm in the middle of developing a web-mail facility
and I've come to the point where I have to display mails' attachments.
In general everything is fine except one minor but annoying thing.
When a user double-clicks on a attachment link and selects 
"Save target as...", a browser presents "Save as" dialog and offers
a default name for requested object which looks like "EmailPart", 
because the syntax of the link is as following:

"http://domain-name/EmailPart.do?part=1";

I know the name of the requested attachment file in advance but I don't
know how to fit it into the URL so that a browser can offer that
name instead of "EmailPart".

On yahoo web-mail a link that points to attachment looks like this:

"http://yahoo_address/ym/ShowLetter/Account%5fmonitor%5fwork%5fflow.doc?box=Inbox&MsgId=1915_4666388_102413_741_67881_0&bodyPart=2&filename=Account%5fmonitor%5fwork%5fflow.doc&download=1&YY=2060&order=down&sort=date&pos=0";

Bearing in mind this syntax I tried to make my link looks like:

"...domain-name/EmailPart/File_name.ext?part=1"

And of course I failed, because the server (tomcat) treated
"EmailPart" as a directory (I assume so) but not as action.

So I would like to ask if anyone came across this problem
and found a solution. Any suggestions would be highly
appreciated.


Thank you for your time.

Best of luck,
Yuriy Zubarev

Regarding making your own tags with Struts

[Raj Malhots Surrey]

Hi,

I have a field called email in my form.
I do have an error with this field.So, in my ActionForm I add an ActionError for that 
and I can access it in my JSP file using  tag.
But can you tell me if there is some way or some tag in Struts by which I can change 
the font of the label Email in red after checking if there is an error with the email 
field.
If not can u suggest if some other way is possible.
Also if someone can tell me how to write my own tags with Struts.

Thankx in advance.

Raj

when you submit a form, you just need to set the action to the action class
that you want in invoke.


If you have your web.xml set up to use the Struts ActionServlet whenever the
desired mapping is encountered, then
you should be fine.

RE: struts framework without its TAG LIBRARIES in jsp pages how?

[Sanjay Melinamani]

but my question is how? If we use HTML, how is the "ActionForm" gets
delegated to Action::perform() method? 
I guess we have to explicitly use the ActionForm bean and call its "set"
methods...I am not sure about this !

If u suggest me as how is the ActionForm will be delegated to the
Action::perfom method, that would be great !

enctype.

[Andy Wicks]

Hi,

I'm using jakarta-struts-1.0-b1 with a Resin 1.2.5 container running on 
hpux11. When I post a form with a form struts tag including

method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data"


The servlet throws an exception like this: java.io.IOException: No such 
file or directory at java.io.UnixFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native 
Method) at java.io.File.checkAndCreate(File.java:1161) at 
java.io.File.createTempFile(File.java:1246) at 
org.apache.struts.upload.MultipartIterator.createLocalFile(MultipartIterator.java:465)

at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1521) 
at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doPost(ActionServlet.java:509)

Struts seems to be parsing the input and failing to create a temporary 
file. The system temporary area is /var/tmp which is world writable.

I've seen a lot of similar posts on this topic, they seemed more 
compicated. I'm hoping this is simply a configuration problem. If anyone 
has any ideas they would be appreciated. thanks,

Andy.   

digester and whitespace in XML text body

[Nick Afshartous]

I'd like to follow up on my original post.  It looks like the
digester.CallMethodRule.body method doesn't remove whitespace
from both ends of the XML body text.  However, other rules
like digester.CallParamRule.body actually do by calling method
String.trim.

Maybe the call to String.trim should be in a central place 
(i.e. digester.Digester) so that the individual rules don't 
have to worry about removing the whitespace ?

I'd be happy to work on a patch.

Hi,

I'm using the digester to process the nested content in
XML tags and am noticing that the leading/trailing whitespace
doesn't seem to be removed as advertised in the doc.  

For instance, the rule

digester.addCallMethod("gateway/application/app-name", 
   "setAppName", 0);

results in the method setAppName being called with the surrounding
whitespace in 

   foo  

If anyone has any idea how to tell the digester to ignore 
the leading/trailing whitespace please let me now, thanks.

RE: Struts Example on WebSphere 3.5.3

[Ravindran Ramaiah]

Follow the Steps:
-

·   Start the WebSphere Administrative Console
·   Once it's started, select "Convert a War File" from the tasks
toolbar option, or from the Console->Tasks menu. This will cause a "Convert
War File" Wizard dialog to appear.
·   Select a Servlet Engine to host the web application that will result
from converting the War file, e.g. "Default Servlet Engine", by expanding
the tree control under Nodes. Press the Next button.
·   Select a Virtual Host to associate the resulting web application
with, e.g. "default host". Press the Next button.
·   Press the Browse button and choose the "struts-test.war" application
WAR file. Press the Next button.
·   Select a destination directory for the resulting web application,
e.g. $WAS_HOME/hosts/default_host. Press the Next button
·   Enter a "Web Application Web Path", e.g. /struts-test, and a "Web
Application Name", e.g. struts-test. Press the Finish button
·   You should get a message box with the text Command "convert war
file" completed successfully. Press Ok.
·   You now need to add jaxp.jar and parser.jar from JAXP 1.0.1  to the
struts-test web application's servlet's directory,  e.g.
$WAS_HOME/AppServer/hosts/default_host/struts-test/servlets
·   Create a WEB-INF directory in the servlets dir and copy
struts-config.xml and web.xml into it (Keep WEB-INF with all the TLD's [if
any] under web - both WEB-INF directories must be present).  
·   In the DOCTYPE declaration, change the word PUBLIC to SYSTEM and
completely remove the line that reads "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web
Application 2.2//EN" from web.xml and remove "-//Apache Software
Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.0//EN" from struts-config.xml.
·   In the servlets directory, open struts.jar.  Extract the three DTD's
(struts-config_1_0.dtd, web-app_2_2.dtd and web-app_2_3.dtd) into the
servlets directory making sure you use folder names (so the files extract to
servlets/org/apache/struts/resources).
·   In the Admin Console, down where it says Default Error Page, enter
/ErrorReporter and then click Apply.
·   Shut down the WebSphere Application Server and Restart
·   Open a Browser and type the URL
http:///struts-test/index.jsp where  is the name
of the machine. If you want you can use localhost instead

Re: Using tags from Java code

[John Raley]

Yes, my own tags tend to be factored such that most of what they do is 
available from other contexts.  This is not necessarily the case with 
other taglibs I'm interested in...  Mostly I was looking for a general 
solution to this problem - I'd prefer to use a tag as its author expects 
over poring over its source code, trying to determine if I can safely 
call some methods on it directly.

Thanks

Using tags from Java code

[John Raley]

Having functionality in taglibs is great, until you want to use the 
functionality outside of a JSP (i.e. in the implementation of your own 
tag).  It would seem fairly easy to write a 'tag player' that would 
instantiate a tag and run it from within code - is this really 
necessary?  Any other ideas on this topic?

I've been on this list for a while, and I'm surprised that this question 
has never come up (that I'm aware of).

I don't think the option tag will work like that. You can either put your
Hashset in some scope, call it something like "persons" and then use the




Or you could have two methods on your form, one that returns a collection of
Strings for the label and another that returns a collection of Strings for
the value. If they are the same then what you are doing  will work but you need to change the getPersons method
to return a collection of strings instead of beans.

The options documentation is confusing but giving the tag any more
flexibility would only make it that much more complex. The fact that the
attributes "property" and "labelProperty" mean two different things
depending on whether "collection" is used makes it confusing. You basically
need the first usage with an alternate way of specifying the collection.

Disclaimer: I could be confused myself.

Struts Example on WebSphere 3.5.3

[Alexander, Glynn (LIT)]

Has anyone tried to get the Struts Example to work on WebSphere 3.5.3.
 I have followed the installation instructions as described in
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/installation-was352.html omitting the fix
for 3.5.2 assuming it has been fixed in 3.5.3.  I have then followed the
instuctions to get the Struts  example running
(http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/installation-was352-x.html).  However on
starting the Default server the system hangs when loading the
struts-config.xml file.
When accessing http://localhost/struts-example/index.jsp I get the first
page OK However clicking on the Log on to the MailReader Demonstration
Application  
link I get the following:
Error 500
An error has occured while processing
request:http://localhost/struts-example/logon.jsp

Re: tool for the struts-config.xml

[Mikael Eriksson]

Hello

I think the portability has to do with that the file is read from the WEB-INF
directory and that it is not always possible to store thing there. So probably
a struts-config-config application would not have the same problem, depending
on how it wanted to handle the file.

 A way to handle it, without having to store anything persistent on the server
would be that the user starts with selecting a struts-config.xml to upload
(or selects to work with a completely new configuration). Then do all
the wanted changes and finally request the web-app to generate a struts-config
with the current configuration, the file could then be delivered to the
browser and saved/viewed just as any other file.

RE: dynamic button names

[Deadman, Hal]

It looks like this was broken in a recent update. The ButtonTag.java needs a
doAfterBody() method in order to set the text instance variable to the body
content. That will make it work like the SubmitTag.java. You should submit
this as a bug on Bugzilla. http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/ If you can't
do that, let me know and I will do it.


/**
 * Save the associated label from the body content.
 *
 * @exception JspException if a JSP exception has occurred
 */
public int doAfterBody() throws JspException {

if (bodyContent != null) {
String value = bodyContent.getString().trim();
if (value.length() > 0)
text = value;
}
return (SKIP_BODY);

}

Re: 64K limit

[Mat Diss]

Has anyone found a solution that doesn't involve using includes?

We have a custom tag that needs to surround the entire page and you 
can't use jsp:include whilst you are inside a custom tag.

RE: Cancel an upload form (Problem not solved yet)

[Peter Doyle]

Hi,
 I'm currently faced with this problem. I'm uploading a zip file. My servelt
renames the file, unzips it then returns. All grand. The problem is if the
user presses cancel of there is some delay or file access issue, the files
become locked. When the user tries to repeat the procedure it cannot
succeed as the files are locked.

I am forced to restart my servlet container.

How can I ensure all files are closed/locks removed?
Can I detect the user cancel and erase the new files?

Thanks for any ideas,
Peter

Hi,

I didn't find a solution to the problem described below (forwarded message).


Currently the form and all its new data is stored, even if the user
canceled.
If the ActionServlet reads the cancel-Parameter from a multipart request,
the action would be able to cancel the storing process. But the file will be
uploaded though.

If I don't use the Struts cancel mechanism where should I delete the data
bean from the session?

RE: what is 'input' for

[Firmin David]

If the validate() method of the actionform returns errors, the framework
will call the page specified by the mapping's "input" attribute so that they
can be displayed.
The idea is that the input attribute specifies the page from which the input
required for the action is obtained.

RE: How to use the new iterate tag?

[Deadman, Hal]

It seems like overkill because the alternative would be simple scriptlet:

<% int i=0; %>

<%= ++i %>


But I think it makes sense to have a tag, my opinion is that the overhead from tags 
should be insignificant compared to the overhead from network and database access. 
Nobody has to use the tag if they think it's overkill. 

I submitted the tag as a low priority enhancement request on bugzilla.

what is 'input' for

[Blue, Neil]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out what the input attribute in the action mappings is
for. Could anyone help please.

Re: removing request parameters before action forward

[Andrew Steady]

I have a similar question which perhaps could be asked at the same time.

I have a JSP that submits to an Action with a certain set of parameters,
the ActionClass then forwards to another ".do" if succesful, when this
".do" is called the corresponding form bean is created and populated with
request data. However the data in the request object was never meant for
that form bean it was only for the form bean belonging to the original
".do". A side affect is that if the 2nd bean has any matching data names to
the first it will get populated with data. I understand you could make sure
that all the names were different but that rather detracts from the
atomicity of the two ".do" actions.

Am I looking through something obvious? Anyone solved this before?

Subject:  removing request parameters before action forward




Hello to all,
I don't know how to remove request parameters just before leaving a
perform(...) method.
1) Is this a bad practice or wrong design?
2) if not, how can I do this?
What I'am trying to do:
A jsp page displays some items. If one clicks an item, the same page shows
again with an incremented item count.
The -tag includes the item id as an url parameter. The
perform
method of the action class looks for this url parameter, increments the
corresponding item count in the action form and forwards back to the jsp
page.
Everything works fine, but the url parameter (the complete url) is also
forwarded to the jsp page. Sometimes this doesn't matter (or even should be
like that), but in this case, pushing the reload button increments the item
count again.
Could anyone give me a hint or even a solution?
Thank You
Stefan

Re: dynamic button names

[Peter Alfors]

It looks as though the ButtonTag and SubmitTag do not allow you to do this.

Therefore, you have a few other options.

1.  Use HTML along with the message tag...

">

2. Write your own custom tag.  You could extend the SubmitTag and over-ride
the getValue() call to retrieve a resoure bundle key.

3.  Last resort: Retrieve the bundle key through the message resources class
and place it into a script variable.
 Then place the script variable in the custom tag...
 This is ugly, so I would not do this unless you have a good reason to.

MessageResources bundle =
  (MessageResources)
pageContext.getServletContext().getAttribute(Action.MESSAGES_KEY);
String myValueRetrievedFromBundle = bundle.getMessage("myKey");


(The code may not be exactly right.. I have not implemented this myself)

HTH,
Pete

Re: Template Problems

[Dan Miser]

Be sure you're using at least Beta 2, and you can add the flush='true'
attribute to the template:get tags.

RE: struts framework without its TAG LIBRARIES in jsp pages how?

[Nanduri, Amarnath]

You can ignore the Tag Libraries and still use the ActionServlet, Actions
and ActionForms functionality. Write your own html . The beauty of using the
Tag Libraries is that they are fully internationalized. But if
internationalization is not an issue, then by all means write your own html
without using the Tag Libraries.


cheers,
Amar..

Error - unable to extract the files in the jar files

[shirleyl]

Hi,

I have created an applet application. The applet is residing on an  Apache
web server 1.3 and Servlet Exec 3.0 AS.
When I try to access the application from another PC, there is an error,
that is 1 of the file in the jgrid.jar file cannot be extracted.
All the other files in other jar files can be extracted.

The error message and the jsp code that contain the applet is included in
the mail.

Would you advice me on what are the possible reasons?
I have verified that com/objectshare/grid/list/JKTableList is in jgrid.jar
and I have even tried to re jar the jgrid.jar, but the same problem occurs.

regards
Shirley

Here is the applet code in the jsp page...





//Shirley Lim 16042001
//set the URI of the pushlet

//set client type - browser or applet



  <%
  int watchListLen = watchList.length;
  for (int i=0; i
 value="<%=value%>" >
  <%
 }
  %>

Options tag problem

[Mikkel Bruun]

 
Hi Guys!

I have an ActionForm which contains a HashSet named Persons that contains
several instances of Person

In my jsp i want a dropdown box showing the Person's name.

code:
 

This points to the getPersons() method in the ActionForm that'll return a
HashSet...
Now I need to access each elements getName() method, but looking through the
options tag code, it seems like it can only handle Collections of
Stringsis this correct

Any suggestions on how to solve it???

thanks

Mikkel

Template Problems

[Jon.Ridgway]

Hi All,

I have just started looking at the template tags and have run into a problem
:

Root Error-1: Server caught unhandled exception from servlet [jsp]: Server
caught unhandled exception from servlet [jsp]: OutputStream already obtained

javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Server caught unhandled exception from
servlet [jsp]: Server caught unhandled exception from servlet [jsp]:
OutputStream already obtained
java.lang.Throwable(java.lang.String)
java.lang.Exception(java.lang.String)
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException(java.lang.String)
int org.apache.struts.taglib.template.InsertTag.doEndTag()

I'm using VAJ 3.5.3 WTE. I don't get this error with the template example
app. But if I change the template and swap the header for the side bar I get
the above error.

Any thoughts ?

Jon
