Image as a cancel button?

[Ryan Cornia]

Is there any way to use the html:image tag in place of form:cancel? I'd like all my 
buttons to be images, but have not found a way to make the cancel button an image 
without causing struts to validate the form even on a cancel. 

Thanks,

Deep down inside org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources, Struts
is using the load() method from the java.util.Properties class to load the
message resources files.  Therefore, the files should correspond to the
same syntax as any other use of Properties.load() in your applications.

Note that, according to the JDK 1.3 Javadocs, a backslash is the
appropriate escape character for properties files, so a single quote would
be represented as "\'".

Hmm.  You're right about Ant including JAXP 1.0.  The interesting thing is
that I've still got them in $ANT_HOME/lib, and I'm running on RedHat 7.1
(with JDK 1.3.1).  And I'm not getting sealing violations.

RE: initial population of html form from database --- ActionForm or A ctionClass

[Anthony Martin]

The answer: Action.perform() should invoke population the form.  That's what
I do, anyway.  Once, I even had all of the methods that performed the actual
population coded in the ActionForm and invoked by the Action.  This allowed
validate to do queries if it needed to, but it wasn't pretty.

When I want to pre-populate a form with information from the database, I
direct the browser to the action mapping URL instead of the jsp URL.  Your
message doesn't say one way or the other, so I thought I'd mention that
first.

No matter what you tell perform() to do, it won't fire if the browser goes
directly to the myPage.jsp url.  The browser needs to query myPage.do even
if no parameters are supplied.

So, I hope that's all it was.

As far as the reset method goes, my understanding is that reset is not
supposed to reset dynamic data.  It's for resetting to a blank form, pretty
much ... or ... that's what I use it for ... anyway.

Subject: initial population of html form from database --- ActionForm or
A ctionClass


I am trying to setup an html form that needs to be initially
populated from a database.  Should I do this in the perform() method
of the action class (which gets passed the actionform bean), or somewhere in
the actionform bean??  I'm assuming it should be done from the action class
since the actionform should just be a data repository by my understanding.
If so, how do I do this from the action class?  I've tried calling my setter
methods on the actionform object (after casting to my extended class) from
within the action class and the form comes up blank.

If the forms are supposed to be populated from the action classes,
why is there a reset method in the actionform (which doesn't seem to do
anything for me by the way -- it never seems to get called), and why is it
suggested to set the default values from there?

thank you for any help you can offer.

[Matteo Di Giovinazzo]

When I want to insert a single quote, I write in the properties file's

I obtain that the single quote disappear. Using the '' (double single quote

My main question is: this works fine on all other java application, why not

Many thanks for the prompt responses from this list. I'm impressed. 

I don't know if I accidentally deleted the file yesterday (more likely,
also more embarrasing, than an unreported error while checking the files
out from CVS), but the set of files I was working with did not contain a
"build.xml" file, which was the ultimate source of my confusion and
failure.

I had checked out the files via anonymous CVS and was using the
resulting directory as a clean template. I'd copy the tamplate to a work
space, try a build, analyze the problem, blow away and recopy the
template, and repeat. But since the template did not contain a copy of
build.xml, I was under the impression that I needed to create/modify my
own, and spent a great deal of time on that. Learned a lot about "ant,"
though, so I guess it was a Learning Experience ;-)

Thanks again for the assistance,

Charles, 

I ran into the same problem trying to run struts on Tomcat 3.1. Removing

RE: newbie - requesting example of working build.xml, build.properties files

[Cook, Levi]

I haven't taken time to account for the variation, but walking through this
process on a fresh RedHat 7.1 installation required an additional step.

Basically, to prevent ant from failing on some jar sealing Security
exception that I don't remember the details of, I had to remove
$ANT_HOME/lib/parser.jar & $ANT_HOME/lib/jaxp.jar. (I think ant 1.3 carries
jaxp 1.0 with it, and the presence of Jaxp 1.1 caused the fit)

You should not have to modify *anything* in build.xml, build-webapp.xml,
or build-webapps.xml in order to build Struts from source.  All of the
necessary values are inherited from properties you set inside your
build.properties file.

The minimal set of properties you need to set in your
"build.properties" file are:

  jdbc20ext.jar - Set this to the full pathname to your
  "jdbc2_0-stdext.jar" file (download the
  JDBC 2.0 Optional Package).

  servlet.jar   - Set this to the full pathname to your
  "servlet.jar" file (normally the one you
  got with your servlet container).

For the rest of my setup, here's what I did:

* Downloaded Ant 1.3 and installed it (and placed $ANT_HOME/bin
  on my PATH)

* From the same place, grab Ant's "optional.jar" file and
  place it in $ANT_HOME/lib.

* Download JAXP/1.1 and put all three JAR files on my CLASSPATH.

* Type "ant" to compile Struts, or "ant dist" to create a mirror
  of the binary distribution.

If you are having to change other properties, then we should try to
simplify the build scripts so that you don't have to.

Are you using an "input" attribute on your  to tell Struts where

For options that are specific to a particular Action class (say,
com.mycompany.mypackage.MyAction), I would use names like:

  com.mycompany.mypackage.MyAction.foo

for the "foo" parameter.

For initialization parameters shared by a number of different actions,
presumably the actions are related to each other.  Therefore, you might
place them all in the same Java package, and use the package name as the
prefix (so the "foo" parameter shared by all actions in the package might 
be named "com.mycompany.mypackage.foo" instead).

you adopt.  However, using rules like this accomplish two good things:

newbie - requesting example of working build.xml, build.properties files

[Michael McCafferty]

Hi all,

I am trying to build struts from source, and having an unexpectedly
difficult time of it. I have downloaded the source code from CVS, and
followed the directions listed on
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/installation.html without success.

I have copied the $STRUTS/build.properties.sample to build.properties
and edited existing entries accordingly. I have also copied
$STRUTS/build-webapp.xml to build.xml and edited existing values
accordingly.  For all prerequesite properties listed in build-webapp.xml
(lines 29-86) I am specifying a command line option to "ant." 

I'm probably missing something obvious, but I'm coming to the conclusion
that the sample configuration files require a LOT of customization in
order to build a vanilla version of struts from source. I'd love to see
copies of build.xml and build.properties that someone has used to
successfully compile the software.

Thanks in advance,

Michael McCafferty

initial population of html form from database --- ActionForm or ActionClass

[Smith Chris]

I am trying to setup an html form that needs to be initially
populated from a database.  Should I do this in the perform() method
of the action class (which gets passed the actionform bean), or somewhere in
the actionform bean??  I'm assuming it should be done from the action class
since the actionform should just be a data repository by my understanding.
If so, how do I do this from the action class?  I've tried calling my setter
methods on the actionform object (after casting to my extended class) from
within the action class and the form comes up blank.

If the forms are supposed to be populated from the action classes,
why is there a reset method in the actionform (which doesn't seem to do
anything for me by the way -- it never seems to get called), and why is it
suggested to set the default values from there?

thank you for any help you can offer.

Re: Running Tomcat+Struts w/o internet connection

[Dan Miser]

You shouldn't have to change the XML. There are local copies of the DTD in
struts.jar, and should be registered and loaded when you start Tomcat up.
Which build are you using (source vs binary, and release vs beta)? This
should be working just fine in the later builds.

workflow?

[Ronel Sumibcay]

I've seen some talk about this in the struts-dev group can somebody point me
to where i can read more about it.

I'm working on a framework that allows a struts developer to reuse certain
wizard based pages where the wizard doesn't change, but the start and end
points do i.e. Basically a way to plug in a use case into other use cases.
The result of the wizard would be a bean (foreign key) that would be
assigned to a bean that requested the service of the wizard.

I would like to find out if the 'workflow' stuff is for this situation

Thanks.

Re: html action links

[Ted Husted]

In can be used other ways, but Struts is designed to be a Model 2/MVC
framework. This means you should avoid linking to JSP's directly.
Generally, everything should go through a server-side Action first,
where you can collect whatever data you need for the JSP, and then
forward it through the request context for the JSP to display. The *.do
files are mapped to Struts controller, which calls the server-side
Action. The controller consults the Action Mappings, loaded from
struts-config.xml, to determine which Action to call.

A re-reading of the Users Guide might help you get the big picture.

Nope -- how logging works (at least for ServletContext.log() calls) is
totally up to the container.

You might consider doing your own logging to files (perhaps with a package
like Log4J).  But I'd be pretty surprised by a commercial server that
would not make available the option of a per-customer log file for their
web applications.

Since "target" is a client-side thing, the only standard way to set the
target is to ask for it on the original link (i.e. before you know what
the results are).  I read somewhere that there might be some non-standard
HTTP header that you could set to choose the target dynamically, but don't
know the details, or how widely supported it might be.

If you just want to use html:link, you don't necessarily have to use an
ActionForm class (though you can, if you want).

Here's some code for generating a list with links. Result is a bean that
exposes a collection named rows.



  

  



When the page renders, it generates links like this:

http://localhost/struts-stub/donor/View.do?key=123456";>123456

where there is a global forward "donor" with the path "/donor/View.do"

and row.getDonor() returns 123456

It does appear to be. I managed to get both the struts-example application
and my own struts based application running under it simply by following the
Orion instructions (http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/installation-oas.html).
Also, the Orion 1.0.3 problems with ServletContext.getResource() appear to
have been fixed so the last part of the instructions are not necessary.

I had similar problem, and fixed it by downloading xalan, and using BOTH the

We are trying to run Tomcat + Struts to run our web application without an
external internet connection.  We are running into a problem because our
struts-config.xml has an external reference to the struts-config DTD.  What
is the proper way to modify struts-config.xml to reference a locally
defined DTD and where would that file normally reside in a standard Tomcat
installation?

Thanks.

RE: Running Tomcat+Struts w/o internet connection

[DHarty]

I was following this thread, and I tried to use a relative directory of the
type:
file://./struts-config_1_0.dtd"

When I attempted to start tomcat I got the following message:

resolveEntity('-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration
1.0//EN', 'file://.')  Resolving to alternate DTD
'jar:file:/C:/dev/jbproject/TMate/tmate/WEB-INF/lib/struts.jar!/org/apache/s
truts/resources/struts-config_1_0.dtd'

and then my app worked correctly.  Simarly, you could change the http path
to point to a null object. ex:
"http://this.domain.does.not.exist.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_0.dtd";

It seems that if the file can't be found where specified, struts resorts to
a struts-config_1_0.dtd file embedded within struts jar. This may only work
in struts_1.0.

Hi,

I think that problem has been fixed since Struts 1.0, but I'm not sure.
Do you have a new release from Struts?

The solution with "file://c:/..." is IMHO a problem if you want to
deploy your Application (e.g. in a war-File).
Who guarantees you, Tomcat or JRun or ... will be installed on Drive C?

Currently I have a similar problem: I have a XML-File (retrieved by
SOAP) and do parse it with Digester.
That is no problem. If I want to validate that Document, I do it by
writing the DTD-Reference into the XML-File
(  ) and by calling
digester.validate(true).
The Drawback is, that I must put that DTD in the tomcat/bin Directory,
otherwise it would **not** be found.

Then I tried to use the digester.register method. But it seems, I does
not work, as I want.
What I want is: To put the DTD file in some custom directory and use it
to validate the XML-File (that I get wrapped in in a SOAP Document).

Who knows, how to do that?

Cheers
Hartmut

Re: html action links

[Ted Husted]

If you just want to use html:link, you don't necessarily have to use an
ActionForm class (though you can, if you want). 

Here's some code for generating a list with links. Result is a bean that
exposes a collection named rows.



  

   



When the page renders, it generates links like this:

http://localhost/struts-stub/donor/View.do?key=123456";>123456

where there is a global forward "donor" with the path "/donor/View.do"

and row.getDonor() returns 123456

Re: running struts in other application server

[Ted Husted]

There are additional instructions when required for several application
servers, but there should not be any general compatibility issues. I
have heard that Oracle9IAS is a repackaging of Orion.

Here's a Javascript that I use when submitting my forms, in case it

Of course you can use relative directory, and put the DTD file into your

Hi,

I think that problem has been fixed since Struts 1.0, but I'm not sure.
Do you have a new release from Struts?

The solution with "file://c:/..." is IMHO a problem if you want to
deploy your Application (e.g. in a war-File).
Who guarantees you, Tomcat or JRun or ... will be installed on Drive C?

Currently I have a similar problem: I have a XML-File (retrieved by
SOAP) and do parse it with Digester.
That is no problem. If I want to validate that Document, I do it by
writing the DTD-Reference into the XML-File
(  ) and by calling
digester.validate(true).
The Drawback is, that I must put that DTD in the tomcat/bin Directory,
otherwise it would **not** be found.

Then I tried to use the digester.register method. But it seems, I does
not work, as I want.
What I want is: To put the DTD file in some custom directory and use it
to validate the XML-File (that I get wrapped in in a SOAP Document).

Who knows, how to do that?

Cheers

Subject: html action links


This is really a two part question.

I have an iterative loop that displays a list users that are stored in
Action Forms.  The idea is that when the button (or link) next to the item
is selected, the user will be allowed to make modifications to the selected
form:

  
  





Modify



  
  

Where "result" is a vector of ActionForms.

Currently, when the "Modify" button is selected, the appropriate action
class is called, but the ActionForm is reset.

I know I could add a field to the submit button, i.e:

Modify 

and then have the action class look up the user in hte database again, but I
would rather not.

I was considering using an html link instead of a button, but was unsure how
to proceed.
Ideally, I would like to use an html link, while retaining the existing form
(without having to look it up again).

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

  It sounds like you are getting close to what I'm using. I'm only
iterating over the String[] that contains all the possible values.
Values in the other String[] that match the array you are iterating
over will cause the checkboxes to be set to checked (but you don't need
to iterate over this second String[]). Also make sure the array you are
iterating over always contains all of the possible attributes, either by
saving it in session scope or repopulating it each time in request scope
(i.e., don't set it to null in reset()). In the ActionForm, I have:


 private String[] findAssets = null;
 private String[] selectedAssets = null;

/**
  * Get
  */
 public String[] getFindAssets() {
   return (this.findAssets);
 }
/**
  * Set
  *
  * @param
  */
 public void setFindAssets(String[] findAssets) {
   this.findAssets = findAssets;
 }


/**
  * Get
  */
 public String[] getSelectedAssets() {
   return (this.selectedAssets);
 }
/**

Yes, it's possible, but unfortunately Struts won't help

Perform method of Action takes HttpServletRequest object as request and
you can execute its getParameter() method to find out which

RE: set Servlet.log file

[Jon.Ridgway]

Hi Pranav,

I haven't seen anything in the API to programmatically set the servlet log
file. Nor is there anything in the web.xml. The file used and its location
will be container specific. 

I highly recommend the use of log4j
(http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/index.html) for logging (even with the
imminent inclusion of a logging API in the core of JDK/JRE 1.4). If you use
this API you have extensive control over where logging is sent and when.

Hi,

I used the code below; the extra step may give the container a chance to

if (session != null)

Re: IAS 6.0 SP2 and struts TAGLIB error

[Matt Raible]

It looks like you might be running iPlanet, if so,
make sure struts.jar is in your classpath in kregedit.
 Also, if you have any ActionClass or FormClasses that
you're calling from action, you'll need to make sure
the full path to
\iPlanet\ias6\...\APPS\...\WEB-INF\classes is in your
classpath.  It's a bug in iPlanet, but this workaround
works like a charm.  Let me know if you have any other
iPlanet issues, as I have spent a fair amount of time
getting struts to work on iPlanet.

Hope this helps,

Matt

RE: RE: WTE/Struts parser incompatibilities - pandoras box?

[dsf65b y b3763476b3]

I'm aware that the actual name of the project doesn't matter!

What I tried to get across was that if I follow the instruction for 
installing a JAXP compatible parser found at:

http://www7.software.ibm.com/vad.nsf/Data/Document2558?OpenDocument&SubMast

I have to create open editions of the IBM's packages:

org.xml.sax
org.xml.sax.helpers

which are part of the project "IBM XML Parser for Java 2.0.15".

However, if I leave out *all* the packages starting with "org" when 
importing parser.jar
I don't have to do that and it still works! What are the ramifications, if 
any, of doing that?

Respectfully,

Setting target dynamically

[Torsten Terp]

Hi,

Im sorry if this has been asked before (i think it has but i cant find it)

Is it possible to set the target of a form, based on the result of the
processing in the Action, i.e., search went well target=bodyCenter,
search was empty target=inputSearch?

Thanks...

The session ID is encoded into a URL so that, when the URL is loaded
by the client, the servlet engine knows which session the client belongs
to. 

The action encoding of the form is used when the form is submitted.
The URL encoding of the image is used when the image is loaded.
These happen at different times, on different requests, so having the form 
action URL encoded doesn't help the image URL. The same presumably
goes for the link - the image is loaded as a different request from the
one where the user clicks the link, so each needs to have the session
ID encoded separately.

So then the question may be, why does an image URL need to have
the session ID encoded into it - since images are static content, the
server shouldn't care what session it belongs to. The answer is that
not all images are static, some images are generated by servlets,
so struts needs to support encoding the URL.

Disclaimer: I'm a struts newbie, I may be missing something.

Build fails on

[Kief Morris]

Howdy, I'm trying to compile the struts build from CVS, and am
having major xml parser headaches. My base system is:

Win2000 SP2
Sun JDK 1.3.0-C
Ant 1.3.0 (bin)

For XML parser libraries I've tried JAXP 1.1 and Xerces 1.4.0, but I
can't seem to get Struts to compile with either one. In either case
it fails in line 186 of build.xml, which is the style task.

With Xerces I get a NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/transform/Source,
which is logical since xerces.jar doesn't contain this class. I gather Ant's

URL encoding in and tags

[DUBOIS Fabrice]

Title: URL encoding in  and  tags





Hi all,


First of all, I'm French so sorry for my English


I don't understand why Struts's  and  tags encodes GIF's names with session's ID ?


I am using :

 tag with 
 tag with 
 standalone

in my JSP's pages.


For me, it seems to be useless to encode SRC attribute for those two tags since  and  encodes ACTION and PAGE attribute with session's ID.

In the third case ( standalone), I really don't understand why session's ID is added to image path ???


Can someone explain me the goal of this ?


Thanks a lot
Fabrice

editable/view data within a JSP TABLE

[Chuck Amadi]

Hi , Can any one advice me on the following.
I am currently using ArgoUML for my object orientated design( deployment
and class diagram)
Firstly i have exstablished a connection (datasource URI) betweeen
PostgreSQL and Jakarta-tomcat (Container).Thus the identified data 
(UML Model) that has to be exchanged (Ms Access data source program) via
Ms Excel using the (comma separated values extension) thus data transfer
to PostgreSQL the destination program.The PostgreSql has been loaded to
our Server ( testing only).Hence the data is to be viewed within a table
format on JSP. So i need a JSP table that will sit on a white background
but we would HAVE a blue feel within the table though.
Any suggestions on the type of table format
Cheers Chuck

Has anyone tried integrating Struts with WebSphere Application Server +

Failure?  Mixed?  I'm trying to talk the management of the company I work

Hi John,

 

You seem to have a number of problems.
Firstly, you are checking for a logon on the logon page. As you want yet have a
logon you will simply be returned to the same page. Not what you want ! Remove the checkLogon tag
from your logon page !

Howdy,





I took the example app, gutted it,
and am trying to piece it all together manually so that I understand what is

When I tried to bring up logon.jsp, I got into an infinite error loop. I am
enclosing the jsp page, the checklogontag.java AND the error output. Without
the checklogontag, the app works fine. It really is very simple at this point. 





Is there anyone out there that can
explain why the error AND, in the example app, why the

dynamic help s for every page

[Jakob Flierl]

Hi,

Im trying to dynamically include some help messages in my JSP pages, e.g. I
want to write:

 Hilfe

on every page, so I can include the parameter "help = true" in my current
request. Therefore I've put this into my footer template JSP:

--- "include/footer.jsp" ---:

[...]

 
   ">help
   
 
 
   ">no help
   
 

[...]

---

But there's one problem with that solution: I've there's e.g. a registration
form, and the user presses the "help" link, the currently filled in form field
data get lost.

I know, that there's a solution to pass all currently set page parameters with
the  tag. However I wasn't able to get that work.

Could someone give me a short JSP code snippet on how to get all parameters
of the JSP into a Hashmap and additionally pass the "help=true" param to the
same JSP?

Thanks

 Jakob F.
