dynamic help html:links for every page
Hi, Im trying to dynamically include some help messages in my JSP pages, e.g. I want to write: html:link page=%=request.getServletPath()%?help=trueHilfe/html:link 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 ---: [...] logic:equal name=request property=help value=false html:link page=%= request.getServletPath() + \?help=true\ %help /html:link /logic:equal logic:notEqual name=request property=help value=false html:link page=%= request.getServletPath() + \?help=false\ %no help /html:link logic:notEqual [...] --- 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 html:link 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.
RE: checkLogonTag question
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 !

URL encoding in html:image and html:img tags
Title: URL encoding in html:image and html:img tags Hi all, First of all, I'm French so sorry for my English I don't understand why Struts's html:image and html:img tags encodes GIF's names with session's ID ? I am using : html:image tag with html:form html:img tag with html:link html:img standalone in my JSP's pages. For me, it seems to be useless to encode SRC attribute for those two tags since html:form and html:link encodes ACTION and PAGE attribute with session's ID. In the third case (html:img 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
Build fails on style
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 style task doesn't work with xerces. Fine, so I tried it with JAXP, but I get sealing violations. I tried different combinations of crimson.jar, jaxp.jar, and xalan.jar in my classpath; I put all 3 in, as instructed by JAXP's install.html, and then tried each by itself to see what happens. Anything that didn't include xalan.jar failed due to lack of the org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl class. Anything that did include xalan.jar failed with a sealing violation.

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

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: logic:iterate id=user name=SearchForm property=result tr html:form action=/usermodify td align=center bean:write name=user property=username/ /td td align=center html:submit property=usernameModify /html:submit /td /html:form /tr /logic:iterate 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: html:submit property=usernameModify bean:write property=username//html:submit 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. Thnxs David

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
( !DOCTYPE root SYSTEM xy.dtd ) 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.

Re: html action links

RE: Running Tomcat+Struts w/o internet connection
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
( !DOCTYPE root SYSTEM xy.dtd ) 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

If your form has a submit button there can be a naming conflict between the

appears to be to make sure any submit buttons are given a name that is not

Re: html action links
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.

Re: Running Tomcat+Struts w/o internet connection
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.

Re: Configuration for Action
Hello Craig,
First option turns out to be a great way to store
initialization parameters that are shared by many
actions. In this case what name convention should
be adopted?
Best of luck,

First, one approach is to use servlet initialization parameters, and
adopt
the convention that the names of parameters for a specific action start
with the fully qualified class name of that action.
Second, if you only need *one* configuration parameter, there is a
general
purpose property of an ActionMapping called parameter (with accessor
methods getParameter() and setParameter()) that you can use for this
purpose.
Third, there is a way to store Action-specific configuration information
in struts-config.xml. It's a little involved, but goes basically like
this:
* Write your own subclass of ActionMapping that includes the extra
properties you are interested in. You can do individual subclasses
for each different action, or a class that includes all the custom
properties you might want for any action.
* Modify your action entries in two respects:
- Tell Struts to use your ActionMapping subclass instead of the
standard one.
- Configure the extra parameters with set-property elements
action path=/myaction
className=com.mycompany.MyActionMapping
type=com.mycompany.MyAction
...
set-property property=foo value=Value for property foo/
set-property property=bar value=Value for property bar/
/action
* In your Action, cast the mapping you receive to your own class
so you can access these extra properties:
public ActionForward perform(...) {
MyActionMapping myMapping = (MyActionMapping) mapping;
String foo = myMapping.getFoo();
String bar = myMapping.getBar();
... use foo and bar to modify the behavior ...

/param-value
/init-param
And you can easily get those values without resorting to
parse information on your own.
So I was wondering if it's possible to make such a
thing with actions in struts-config.xml file.
In another words I would like to have some custom
parameters for some actions with handy means of
extracting those parameters.
Thank you for your time.
Best of luck,

newbie - requesting example of working build.xml, build.properties files
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 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Configuration for Action
On Fri, 22 Jun 2001, Yuriy Zubarev wrote:
Hello Craig,
First option turns out to be a great way to store
initialization parameters that are shared by many
actions. In this case what name convention should
be adopted?
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).
From a technical perspective, it really does not matter what convention
you adopt. However, using rules like this accomplish two good things:
* Avoids the potential for name clashes where more than one Action
has a parameter named foo.
* Makes the complete parameter name predictable, to reduce
mistakes.
Best of luck,
Yuriy Zubarev

First, one approach is to use servlet initialization parameters, and
adopt
the convention that the names of parameters for a specific action start
with the fully qualified class name of that action.
Second, if you only need *one* configuration parameter, there is a
general
purpose property of an ActionMapping called parameter (with accessor
methods getParameter() and setParameter()) that you can use for this
purpose.
Third, there is a way to store Action-specific configuration information
in struts-config.xml. It's a little involved, but goes basically like
this:
* Write your own subclass of ActionMapping that includes the extra
properties you are interested in. You can do individual subclasses
for each different action, or a class that includes all the custom
properties you might want for any action.
* Modify your action entries in two respects:
- Tell Struts to use your ActionMapping subclass instead of the
standard one.
- Configure the extra parameters with set-property elements
action path=/myaction
className=com.mycompany.MyActionMapping
type=com.mycompany.MyAction
...
set-property property=foo value=Value for property foo/
set-property property=bar value=Value for property bar/
/action
* In your Action, cast the mapping you receive to your own class
so you can access these extra properties:
public ActionForward perform(...) {
MyActionMapping myMapping = (MyActionMapping) mapping;
String foo = myMapping.getFoo();
String bar = myMapping.getBar();
... use foo and bar to modify the behavior ...
}

/param-value

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.

single quote in the application properties file don't works on Struts like any other java app?

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

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.

My main question is: this works fine on all other java application, why not with Struts? Where is the problem? Matteo Di Giovinazzo 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 \'. Craig McClanahan

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, Ryan
