Decided to live on the bleeding edge, installed jdk1.4,  installed 
tomcat4.
Copied struts *.war files into tomcat4 webapp dir and off it goes.

So far things look pretty cool I'll have to look into this more this 
weekend.

accessing user-defined classes from html:select and html:options tags

[Philip Tucker]

I'm using Struts 1.0 with Tomcat 3.2.2 and JBoss 2.2.2.  I'm using an
 containing an  tag in a JSP, with the property
attributes referring to form and bean fields.  It works fine when the Java
class of the 2 bean properties is String, but when I try to use class I
created I get an error.  I've verified my .class file is in the deployment
WAR file.

Do I have to do something special to use my own class?  Do I need an import
statement in the JSP?

Thanks,
Philip

RE: web application initialization

[Abraham Kang]

Hi Fabien,

   I typically do this in a StartupServlet in my web.xml.

   Here is an example of how I initialize Log4j:



  
weblogic.jsp.keepgenerated
true
  

  
log4j

com.infogain.DOG.logging.servlet.Log4jServlet

  debug
  2


  wlpi_log4j_conf
  /WEB-INF/wlpi_log4j_conf.properties


  base_category
  com.infogain.DOG


  base_priority
  info

  1
  

...

   The init() method of Log4jServlet handles stuff that needs to run before
Struts (struts's  is 2).

Re: Strus 1.1

There will be a 1.01 maintenance release at the end of the month. 

My guess would be that a 1.1 release would not happen any time soon. A
lot depends on how much help the development team gets over on the DEV
list, including the workflow feature. The work on this particular
feature is still in the hand-waving stage.

Re: Action class question

[troy hart]

This would be entirely up to you... Depending upon the nature of the two
actions one choice may be preferable to the other.

If you wanted to have one action class you would need to check the request
to see which button was pressed. There would be a number of ways to do this
but the most straight forward would probably be to give the two buttons
distinct names. Then, if the "New" button was pressed there will be a
request parameter with it's name...

If you wanted to try the two action class approach you would probably need
to use javascript to toggle the value form's action between the two.

I would probably choose the first option in most cases.

Hope this helps,

Troy

Getting large resultset pagewise

Hi,
 Need some help to get large result set from the database and show
pagewise ( say 10 per page ). I would like to cache previous/next pages too

Any example will be appreciated.

Hi Becky,

Did you override the reset () method of ActionForm?  If you didn't you
need to set the Attribute of your ActionForm object that represents the
multibox to null.

Like:

 public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) {

 this.action = "Create";
 this.autoConnect = false;
 this.yourMultiboxNames = null;

Re: not finding property on a form bean

[Paul Holser]

thanks for your reply.   actually, my actions were configured ok.
when i browse the URL:

http://localhost:8080/commissions/genTklsDailyForm.do 

it should invoke the action /genTklsDailyForm, which will place
a form bean named tklsDailyForm into request scope, and forward to
/jsp/tklsDailyForm.jsp.  this JSP is to display a select list of date ranges.
the action tklsDaily.do is what should be invoked when the form is
submitted.  i fiddled around with the action class a bit, and finally
ended up getting the error:

cant remove attribute from request scope

when org.apache.struts.taglib.html.FormTag.doEndTag() was called.
searching the archives, i discovered this is a problem with the version
of jasper used by the WebSphere test environment in my IDE
(VAJ 3.5.3), but that a possible workaround is to patch FormTag.
after patching FormTag, my page rendered the way i expected.

great list, i appreciate the response!

cheers,
p


>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/20/01 03:12PM >>>
If you really want to invoke the action associated with
"genTklsDailyForm.do" then the action of your form must not be
action="tklsDaily.do", but rather action="/genTklsDailyForm.do" (take note
of the slash).


Then your action-mapping should be:

This may not be exactly what you want, but it should work... I would
recomend taking a closer look at how to specify an action in your
struts-config.xml fileyou may want to specify the scope...

RE: Struts Bug? My Bug? Help!! Please!

[Becky Moyer]

Here is a simplified overview of what you need to do.  If you still would 
like code, I can still supply you with it, but I think this will be easier 
to understand.

ActionForm:

2 fields with associated getter and setters:

String[] CheckboxNames

String[] CheckboxValues

You must populate this form before you hit the JSP to display it (if you 
want to preset the values).  So, figure out all the possible values, and 
then figure out what you want checked.  So, for example...

checkboxNames[0] = "String1";
checkboxNames[1] = "String2";
checkboxNames[2] = "String3";
checkboxNames[3] = "String4";

and

checkboxValues[0] = "String2";
checkboxValues[1] = "String4";

Then say

MyForm form = new MyForm();
form.setCheckboxNames(checkboxNames);
form.setCheckboxValues(checkboxValues);

And put the form in the session.

When you get to your jsp, retreive the form from the session, and place it 
into the page context:

pageContext.setAttribute("MyForm", myform , PageContext.PAGE_SCOPE);

Then, where you want the multiple checkboxes on your jsp, do the following:




  

  


  

  





   



THen when you press submit and go to your actionClass, you can compare 
CheckboxNames to CHeckboxValues to see what was checked.

Did that explain it enough?

Hope it helps,
Becky

Hi everyone.

I have something strange happening.  I have a 2 frame frameset, with buttons in
the top fram to let a user view a logfile in the lower frame, or download it.
If the chose to download the file, I get the ServletOutputStream from the
response in my action, and write to it.  I then close it and return null.

All that works fine - the user is prompted to download the file etc. - but I
then hit my strange problem.  If I click on the view button in the top frame,
nothing appears in the bottom frame, although I see in the tomcat window that
everything is geting processed like before.  It is as if it is writing it into
thin air!

Would really appreciate any help to find it!!

[Becky Moyer]

   I've got a multibox/iterate combination form.  My webapp works when there 
is something to submit.  When I check at least one value checked in my 
multiboxes, I get the expected result.  When there is nothing checked in my 
multiboxes, my form object is the same as it was before I changed the 
checkboxes.  For example, I'll have 4 checkboxes displayed, representing 4 
strings, String1, String2, String3, String4.  I will check String2, press 
submit, and I receive the correct form in my ActionClass.  After updating 
the form object and returning to my multibox page, if I uncheck String2 and 
submit, the form I receive contains String2 as being checked.

My form contains 3 String arrays, one of which contains links, one contains 
the string names, and the other contains the string names which are checked.

I have done as much testing as I can, gone through my code, and cannot find 
a bug.  Is this a bug (or perhaps it is a "feature" ;-) ) of Struts?

If this isn't enough info, I can send code.  What is going on?

Thanks so much!
Becky

Trouble using Struts...

[Palmer, Nick]

I have been trying to setup a multi-page form using Struts and Tomcat. I am
having some trouble though, and am in need of help.

I have set up a form bean that has all of the fields required across all
pages of the form. I have setup a single action that handles the input of
the form at each step. The problem that I am having is that the form bean
does not seem to get stored in the session across the pages of the form. I
have set the scope to session in my struts-config.xml file and in the
various jsp pages of the form, and am using the same name value  ("sufs") in
all places.

The form is being submitted properly to the Action, but then when the next
page is submitted I see a "Looking for ActionForm bean under attribute
'sufs'" in the servlet.log file. followed by a "Recycling existing
ActionForm instance of class...". When I log the form again in the Action
all of the previously created values are no longer there. Any suggestions on
what I am doing wrong?

Thanks for any help,
-Nick 

Re: not finding property on a form bean

[troy hart]

actually, my reply was a little hasty...on a closer look I'm little confused
at what you want...but here's my best guess.

If you really want to invoke the action associated with
"genTklsDailyForm.do" then the action of your form must not be
action="tklsDaily.do", but rather action="/genTklsDailyForm.do" (take note
of the slash).

Then your action-mapping should be:



  


...




This may not be exactly what you want, but it should work... I would
recomend taking a closer look at how to specify an action in your
struts-config.xml fileyou may want to specify the scope...

Hope this helps,

Troy

Re: Bug in Struts when using base class for forms?

[Levi Cook]

FYI, this is a known, non-struts, issue- Bascically, properties, getters and
setters can't be static per the bean spec... Therfore, struts cannot use
normal bean introspection to populate your form.

Definitely search the archive for more info if you need it, its there.

Levi

Hi,

I'm in some kind of a hurry, so I didn't check the bug list or the archive.
In case, that this is a known issue, just forget about it.

So here's the apparent bug:

I'm using a base form class with some static fields and the
getters and setters:


MyBaseForm extends ActionForm implements java.io.Serializable
{

private static List someLabels = new ArrayList();
private static List someValues = new ArrayList();
private static String value = null;

public static final void setSomeLabels(List someLabels_param)
{
someLabels = someLabels_param;
}

public static final List getSomeLabels()
{
return someLabels;
}

public static final void setSomeValues(List someValues_param)
{
someValues = someValues_param;
}

public static final List getSomeValues()
{
return someValues ;
}

public static final void setValue(String value_param)
{
value= value_param;
}

public static final String getValue()
{
return value;
}


}

Then I have another form class
MyNewFormClass extends MyBaseForm implements java.io.Serializable
{
 //...
}

When I use MyNewFormClass within an JSP with the select/options tag
(






I get the following error message:

Root cause:

javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: No getter method available for property
someValues for bean under name null
at org.apache.struts.taglib.html.OptionsTag.getIterator(OptionsTag.java:360)


However, this does not happen, when the getters are not static!

So, is this a bug? I guess, because it doesn't allow me an important feature
(static getters for static fields).
Well, I can make my way around by doubling the getters: once static and once
not static

RE: html:options value and label

[Jason Te Whau]

Hi, TGIF from me too :)

I guess you could try using an iterate tag because it seems that the values
you want are just a sequence, which you can expose using the indexId
attribute.

Otherwise you will need to specify both the property and labelProperty
attributes of the options tag, which lets you have labels that are different
to the values, like this:


   


But then your collection would have to store an object that has both a
getDayId() and getDayName() method.

I would like my select's values to contain 1-7, rather than actual day

Is this possible without creating any new getters on my bean?

Struts with Oracle 9i Application Server and Jdeveloper....

Hi,
 
I want to know if Struts works well with Oracle 9i 
Application Server and Jdeveloper!!!
 
Thanks you in advance

Re: Any Pointers regarding Action Classes

[Calvin Yu]

If you don't figure out why ApplicationMappings.java and
ActionForward.java isn't compiling, it isn't going to help you to
compile an Action class.  I imagine the problem that is causing the
compilation of those two classes is going cause the compilation failures
of many of your other classes.

The best thing you can do is start from scratch.  Move all your java
files somewhere else and start adding them back one by one, compiling
each file along the way.

Hi, is it feasiable to drop my .java file into classes dir instead of
the path 
bbnpa/WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/struts/action
bbnpa/WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/struts/custom
bbnpa/WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/struts/logon

Use bbnpa/WEB-INF/classes/action and so on.
As i have tried to create a interface class albiet Netbeans IDE isn't
happy with the 
package bbnpa/WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/struts/action

I have tried just using package action; out of WEB-INF .
Cheers Chuck

[O'Reilly John]

sorry,  didn't mean to send the email below without comment

Well, mainmenu.xml is a static xml file representing a menu, menu.xsl is the
stylesheet that renders it (note the XSL  currently only handles one level
of nesting mainly due to my lack of knowledge of XSL!).  The
PortalAction.java class is a base class for all the action classes.  This is
very much a first attempt and some of this logic probably belongs in a
dedicated menu manager class.  A particular action calls LoadMenu with the
name of the menu it wants to load.  This checks for the id parameter (which
uniquely identifies each menu option) and uses this to add the selected and
expanded attributes to the appropriate menu options.

Note this is very much an early version and it already has a major bug -
keeping the id of the selected option between requests (if something other
than a menu option is responsible for generating the action) - I'm fixing
this at the moment.

I'm fairly new to struts ( and Cocoon) so if anyone knows a better way of
doing this please let me know.

Thank you for the reply.

I got the original link from this website:

It is a tutorial by HP bluestone. It must be pretty old!

Any Pointers regarding Action Classes

[Chuck Amadi]

Hi , i require to create another Action Class contoller as the
ApplicationMappings & ActionForward.java won't compile so i would like
to create an Action.java and run ant to compile. Thus is there a n
example of this class and is it a abstract class with no
methods(uniplemented methods-empty bodies ) as my java is only at
fundamental level.

I have checked the struts-example no joy
albiet there is at 4.2 Action Classes   userGuide/building_controller 
thus appears Abstract enough.

Cheers Chuck.

RE: NewB: Is Struts completely reliant on sessions

[Brian . Duchouquette]

Renzo, Felix,

If your front-end web server/load balancer (also known as Local Director or
Resonate, etc) is implemented to use IP stickiness, then this is a
non-issue since the Web user will be returned to the server which serviced
the original request.

Hi

As long as you carry over all properties to the next request using form
elements (text, hidden, ...), you will only miss the LOCALE session
variable. But you set that by subclassing ActionServlet.

Actually when you stay away from wizard-like/multipage forms, you'll be
fine.

Subject: NewB: Is Struts completely reliant on sessions


Hi

We have to build & deploy some web applications with
JSP/Servlets on an LVS cluster.  At the moment,
though, I don't think we can guarantee session
affinity (i.e. subsequent requests will end up on
different machines), and it seems that Struts uses
sessions quite heavily.

Am I right in thinking that sessions are a
pre-requisite of using the Struts framework?  Is there
any part of Struts I could still use without sessions
(e.g. some of the taglibs maybe)?

Thanks

Felix.

Re: Server Side Validation not firing for Validator when Java Script is off

[Scott Ryan]

David,
Thanks for the great framework for validation.  I have found it
extremely useful and am glad to hear it is becoming
part of struts in the future.  I am working on some deployment and
maintenance issues and wondered if you had any 
suggestions based on your input below.

There are two issues:

1

First is keeping the xml files small and isolated for ease of
maintenance.  I was wondering about creating
a file called validators.xml that includes all the validators that I am
using in a project (Validator definitions and maybe the
javascript to go with it.)

I would then create a file for each form that I am validating that
contains the validation rules for each field.  

I could then create a validation.xml file that included all the above
files (Validator.xml and several formvalidation.xml files).  That would
allow us to work on validation rules for a set of forms independent of
the other forms.

Is this overkill?
How do you actually do an xml include?

2--
We have several non-struts applications and several separate isolated
struts applications.  We have one common javascript validation library
that is 
used for all projects.  If for example we had 2-nonstruts apps and 3
struts apps we would have to deploy 4 copies of the same javascript
code.  One for the 
non-struts apps and 3 for the struts apps since each struts app has a
validation.xml file containing the javascript as part of the file.

The scenario listed above would reduce the duplication to 2 since we
would now need one javascript library for the non-struts apps and one
validator.xml file for
the struts applications.

I sure would like to reduce that duplication to one.
It seems that the static and dynamic jsp references might do the trick
but I must admit I really don't understand it fully yet.  Also we don't
have jsp support for all
of the applications we deploy so it might present a packaging problem
as well.

I would appreciate anyone's input on this issue.  I am just trying to
reduce maint and support costs in the future as we deploy more and more
solutions that are struts based.

Thanks

If you look at the jsType.jsp, you will see that it is
referencing an external JavaScript file called
staticJavascript.jsp.  You could put other JavaScript
methods in that and call them from onclick, etc. 
Although I'm not sure if that is what you mean. 
Otherwise you could do an xml include.  I think the
JavaScript associated with a java method should be
with it in the xml file.

Bug in Struts when using base class for forms?

[Holger Wiechert]

Hi,

I'm in some kind of a hurry, so I didn't check the bug list or the archive.
In case, that this is a known issue, just forget about it.

So here's the apparent bug:

I'm using a base form class with some static fields and the
getters and setters:


MyBaseForm extends ActionForm implements java.io.Serializable
{

private static List someLabels = new ArrayList();
private static List someValues = new ArrayList();
private static String value = null;

public static final void setSomeLabels(List someLabels_param)
{
someLabels = someLabels_param;
}

public static final List getSomeLabels()
{
return someLabels;
}

public static final void setSomeValues(List someValues_param)
{
someValues = someValues_param;
}

public static final List getSomeValues()
{
return someValues ;
}

public static final void setValue(String value_param)
{
value= value_param;
}

public static final String getValue()
{
return value;
}


}

Then I have another form class 
MyNewFormClass extends MyBaseForm implements java.io.Serializable
{
 //...
}

When I use MyNewFormClass within an JSP with the select/options tag
(






I get the following error message:

Root cause: 

javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: No getter method available for property someValues for 
bean under name null
at org.apache.struts.taglib.html.OptionsTag.getIterator(OptionsTag.java:360)


However, this does not happen, when the getters are not static!

So, is this a bug? I guess, because it doesn't allow me an important feature (static 
getters for static fields).
Well, I can make my way around by doubling the getters: once static and once not 
static

no need to put the form Bean using the request.setAttribute("beanname",

RE: How do you load information into a bean that your form uses before displaying it?

[Renzo Toma]

Not when you dont have a Form for your Action, which in my case ;)
Maybe I do not understand the question; you are referring to a normale
Form-Action-JSP model. Maybe Brett is too!?

no need to put the form Bean using the request.setAttribute("beanname",
bean) . It is done by struts framework .
rest is fine . Use  tag in Jsp .

RE: HTTP requests in struts-config.xml

[Renzo Toma]

This 
falls in the category "I want to pass parameters along a redirecting 
forward, but I don't know how."
 
I have 
the same problem when:
 
- a user adds a new contact to a group in an 
hypothetical addressbook.
- on 
success a list of all contacts in that group is shown.
- to 
avoid double/triple-submissions due to reloads, I want to use a redirect, but 
then I cannot add/set a groupId=42.
- ugh.
 
The 
only solution I can think of - but havent tested it yet - is redirecting using 
response.sendRedirect() to a resolved forward url from the Action class.  
(The  tag contains code for the resolving 
logic.)
 
 
Does 
anyone know if redirecting from an Action class works?

RE: How do you load information into a bean that your form uses before displaying it?

[Renzo Toma]

The pattern I use works as followed:

- create a Action which reads data from a database
- stuff all data in a bean and request.setAttribute("BeanName", bean);
- forward to your "view" jsp and reference your data as 

NOTE:

directly requesting the .jsp will give you an "cannot find bean BeanName"
exception. you may want to add a trap for that or simply moving the .jsp out
of a public folder (to WEB-INF/ for example)

I have a struts  which uses a struts Form bean.  I'd like to read
data from a database and use that data as the default data for the form.

What is the best way to do this?

Read the data and set the value parameter of the  
and  tags?

Load the data into a Form bean and use that bean for the form?

I'm not sure how to do either of these options or if there is a third better
way to do it?

Thanks,

RE: NewB: Is Struts completely reliant on sessions

[Renzo Toma]

Hi

As long as you carry over all properties to the next request using form
elements (text, hidden, ...), you will only miss the LOCALE session
variable. But you set that by subclassing ActionServlet.

Actually when you stay away from wizard-like/multipage forms, you'll be
fine.

Subject: NewB: Is Struts completely reliant on sessions


Hi

We have to build & deploy some web applications with
JSP/Servlets on an LVS cluster.  At the moment,
though, I don't think we can guarantee session
affinity (i.e. subsequent requests will end up on
different machines), and it seems that Struts uses
sessions quite heavily.

Am I right in thinking that sessions are a
pre-requisite of using the Struts framework?  Is there
any part of Struts I could still use without sessions
(e.g. some of the taglibs maybe)?

Thanks

Felix.

RE: XML question

[Aysen Bankeroglu]

Hi Domingo:

I am not very sure if it is the same problem but i had a similar problem.

firstof all you do need the xerces.jar in the lib dir of your application.
also jboss-tomcat (v3.2) comes with a xerces.jar(v1_0_3) in dir
$tomcat_home/jakarta-tomcat-3.2-b8/lib, you have to overwrite this
xerces.jar file with a newer version.

i didnot change anything in the tomcat.sh

finally i do have jaxp.jar, xalan.jar, jasper.jar and parser.jsr in the same
dir.

cheers,
aysen

I am trying to run the struts-example that is included in nightly build ( 18
july )

Tomcat can't run because there's a problem when trying to run the digester
duties.

README file states that :

"Download and install an XML parser that is compatible with the Java
API"

I am trying Xerces 1.4.1.  Is this ok ?

Should I place the xerces.jar under
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/struts-example/WEB-INF/lib ?


or it has to be added to classpath in tomcat.sh ?

One more... is there anything else that I have to include besides xerces.jar
? ( I mean crimson.jar , jaxp.jar, etc. )

Re: tag not found

[Martin Cooper]

The  and  tags were introduced for Struts 1.1,
so they are not available if you are using Struts 1.0.

The Struts web site generally documents what is available in the latest
nightly build. The documentation for any given build is available in the
struts-documentation.war file for that build, so you should refer to that
for the specifics of what is available in the build you are running.
