RE: looking for success stories
We've just finished phase1 of our system for the South African Revenue Services, an online tax return system, check it out on www.ipayment.co.za Unfortunately though, to get the full appreciation for the site one has to register as a taxpayer, but basically we used Tomcat, Struts and JBoss.

I have used it in the past for several very small applications with no more than a couple concurrent users. But since we only get one shot at making this application work (or we'll all be out on our arses) I must make a very convincing case for Struts. Does anyone have any success stories that they'd like to share? Or can anyone point me in the direction of any articles or web pages or whatever where I may find info?

RE: menu displayer
How about creating an object (to be stored within the session-context), that will manage the contents of the menu and use a tag to format it. The array- version is easier to set up, but the generalization/reutilization might be better with a specialized class... It might even be possible to create a standard struts implementation, which could be exnteded by the individual applications to provide additional functionality (like permission-handling,...) how about it?

Nested properties and javascript
All, When one uses nested beans as the FormBean (ActionForm) the html input field names (logically) have a dot in their names. This all work fine, i.e. the data can be posted back to the server and picked up by struts. However, JScript doesn't appear happy with objects having dots in their names (it naturally thinks that you mean a 'subobject' of an object). Anyone have any ideas on how to get around this? (apart from not using nested FormBeans?) Regards, Sean
exception handling design
all-- i'm in the process of designing an exception handling scheme with which struts will interact, and i wanted to solicit any ideas and best practices out there, especially from those of you who might have done this already. i have a base exception with relevant methods to chain additional exceptions to it, which will create a linked list of exceptions. i plan to have at least two subclasses of this base exception, one for application exceptions, one for system exceptions. when one or more exception(s) is(are) encountered, i was thinking i would pass a constant which holds a specific struts application.properties message key (e.g., error.authentication or error.database) to each exception constructor. then, if one or more exceptions is encountered, i can chain them all together and throw the base exception from the business layer to the presentation layer, where it will be caught by a related struts action class. at that point, the action class can call some utility method, passing it the base exception. this utility method will return a fully populated ActionErrors object, which the action class can then check for size. if it contains errors, the action class can return an appropriate ActionForward object. does anyone out there see any flaws with this type of setup? suggestions? comments? thanks in advance. jon

Hi.
One thing you should watch out for. WAS contains a bug that causes
an error when using the Struts form tag. Comment out the 2 "pageContext.removeAttribute"
lines in the org.apache.struts.taglib.html.FormTag class (doEndTag() method,
starting at line 591), rebuild Struts, and all should be ok. Alternatively,
you could do this:
try {
pageContext.removeAttribute(Constants.BEAN_KEY,
PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException iaex) {}
try {
pageContext.removeAttribute(Constants.FORM_KEY,
PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException iaex) {}

RE: Struts with WebSphere 4.0 on Win2000
Kent, Yes, we use EJB's - no special libraries for that specific functionality, although there are issues with deployment and servlet spec compatibility. Not to repeat what Terence said but I'm going to cut and paste an earlier response from yesterday. :) Details on the shortcoming of WAS' JASPER can be found: http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg10964.html and somewhere else in the archive with some explanation from Craig and others, but I don't recall where. :) As for WebSphere, I can vouch for it with both 3.5.3 and 4.0. There are a few things to be aware of prior to moving forward. First and foremost - both WAS 3.5.x and 4.0 are using versions of Jasper that are slightly behind the latest spec; unfortunately, Struts makes use of the parts of the spec wherein WAS is lacking. A very simple change has been made to the Form taglib that will allow Struts 1.0 to work in a WAS environment. It can be downloaded at: http://www.enfused.com/struts.jar Second, in 3.5.3 deployment requires some extra steps and some tweaking. A list of the special steps can be found: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/installation-was352-x.html As for 4.0, deployment is pretty straight forward. The Application Assembly tool is the nicest and most usable J2EE deployment tool I've seen to date and will get the job done just fine. The fact that 4.0 is J2EE compliant helps a lot too - finally we can use EAR's and WAR's properly. :) Hope that helps, Chris Christopher Assenza Phone: 412.201.6026 Fax: 412.201.6060 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ACCESSDATA Moving Your Business from Point A to Point e.SM http://www.accessdc.com/ -Original Message- From: Kent Roylance [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2001 10:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Struts with WebSphere 4.0 on Win2000 Are you using EJB?

I've managed to get this running in VAJ 4.0(WTE), but for some reason, I'm

Do you (or anyone else watching), by chance have step-by-step intstructions
for getting the example app running in 4.0? I've heard various piecies,

Stephen, We aren't using VAJ (currently) so I can't vouch for the WTE, although it is supposed to be identical to the single-server free license you can d/l from the IBM site. For 4.0 there ARE no long-winded extra steps believe it or not. It's been a while since I last played with it but you just need to package a J2EE compliant EAR or WAR file and use the Application Assembly tool to Generate Code for Deployment (If I recall the menu option correctly). The DTD thing is no longer an issue, at least from my experience. It is really quite easy. I compiled some PRELIMINARY steps for our own application and have included them here. They take place after the EAR file has been made deployable by the AA tool. :) Please don't take them as the absolute only and best way to get the job done, they stem from early experimenting. :) Since so many people seem to be asking I might just go home tonight and try to formalize the whole process. :) Brief Preliminary Deployment Instructions for WAS 4.0 · Deploy Application o Install WebSphere 4.0 o Once completed and system is restarted (if necessary): Start the WebSphere service (startServer.bat on NT, probably startServer.sh on Unix) o After the server has started, log onto the web-based Administration Console (http://localhost:9090/admin). o Next, expand Nodes on the left. o Click on Enterprise Applications o Click on Install o Browse to the file Deployed_app.ear that you created with the AA tool. o Select the file follow the steps the console takes you through: § Click next on EJB deployment screen. § Click next on the Web Module deployment screen (change your preference on pre-compiling if you so desire). § On the next screen, allow WebSphere to redeploy YourApp-ejb.jar by leaving the box checked and clicking next.

Re: looking for success stories
Eric, like most Strus users I started to study and test the framework from the late betas, and also have used it on some small applications. In april we decided to port our content aggregation portal to Struts, and last month we deployed the first 99% Struts based version of this application. Take a look at http://www.organox.com.br We actually handle low traffic (for a public service) - about 5000 registered users, 300 logins/day, 128 kb/s (outbound) and 640 kb/s (inbound) average bandwidth usage on office hours. Everything runs smoothly and Struts made the application really easy to mantain. Thi site is a demonstration for our content aggregation technology. It is also a test environment to ensure the architecture will stand up with higher loads. Our goal is to handle 50k page requests/day on this setup (25 times our curent load). We are about to lease our technology to 2 large banks in Brazil and these guys will offer it to 100-200k users. I hope this will be a real success story. For now I can tell you we just do not worry about Struts, because it is such a fine piece of software. We actually deploy our application on a single machine using with Solaris 8 x86 MU4, Apache 1.3.19, Sun JDK 1.3.0, Resin 1.2.5 and Struts 1.0. These componentes proved to be extremely stable and highly configurable. A note on servlet containers: nothing against Websphere, it is ok. But we picked Resin because it is cheap, fast, stable, and specialy: 1. Is highly compliant with the latest JSP/Servlet specifications. (Not WAS best feature) 2. Their technical support is really responsive. I am not talking about support channels, filing requests or on-line faqs, anyone can do this. I am impressed because I have seen critical patches being created and published overnight. Just check http://www.caucho.com *Saran [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, We are currently in the early design stages of an extremely high profile application and I am considering using Struts. I have used it in the past for several very small applications with no more than a couple concurrent users. But since we only get one shot at making this application work (or we'll all be out on our arses) I must make a very convincing case for Struts. Does anyone have any success stories that they'd like to share? Or can anyone point me in the direction of any articles or web pages or whatever where I may find info? By the way, we are going to deploy on Websphere (we're currently on 3.5.3 but will hopefully move to 4.0 before we roll it out) so I'd be especially interested if anyone has successfully deployed on WAS.

STRUTS and EJB
Hi! I'm new to the list, so please forgive me if my question is old or just foolish..:) Have you used Struts in combination with EJBs? I have found it pretty hard in the case where I have: - WLS6 server - n-tier architecture, where mostly session EJB's are used to interact with a relational db I want to fill in a form JavaBean using a struts form, and after validating it in my Action class, store it into the db using a session EJB component. The proble here is that I have to extend ActionForm class to make the bean work with Struts. This forces me to add Struts class also on the EJB classpath. I also have to put my ActionForm and Action classes on the EJB classpath. Now that I have them on the EJB classpath, and EJB classloader is parent of web classloader (in WLS at least), my web form classes won't be reloaded automatically when I change the code inside, because the classes were loaded by the EJB classloader. Got it? To put it simply, I wonder why it is necessary to extend ActionForm in my bean.. This obligation makes development much slower, if I still want to send my form bean to the EJB for storing..

Re: STRUTS and EJB
I agree with Gregor. The ActionForm beans are best left as ActionForm beans, and used only as an extension of the html:form tags. Once the data is validated, it should be transferred to persistent stoarge, or to another bean that is not bound to the HTTP layer (and could be re-used in other environments). This bean can then use the right data-type for the job, and perform other business tasks that have nothing to do with gathering input from HTTP. On the way back, a good way to repopulate an ActionForm bean, or other string-based helper, is to have your data access objects return a Map, and then use it with the standard BeanUtils.populate() method. Struts does the same thing with the HTTP request, which is basically a Map. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Custom Software ~ Technical Services. -- Tel +1 716 737-3463 -- http://www.husted.com/about/struts/ Gregor Rayman wrote: Juha Paananen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I want to fill in a form JavaBean using a struts form, and after validating it in my Action class, store it into the db using a session EJB component.

Re: STRUTS and EJB
Yes, the inheritance is a necessary part of the Struts design. I realize that it seems wasteful at first, but the ActionForm beans have several special needs that may not apply to the other beans in your application. An interface was tried in the earliest instances of the framework, but discarded for several reasons. The biggest one is that we may need to yet add another method, and if the ActionForm was an interface, everything would break ;-( The other reason was that people tried to turn their business beans into ActionForm beans, which is really not a good idea in practice (as seductive as it sounds ;-) For more see http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg08070.html and http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org/msg01495.html You should also take a look at the BeanUtils for quick and easy ways to populate beans. I add a toMap() method to all my ActionForm beans, which, with BeanUtils.populate() can be an easy way to populate your business beans. In fact, these are so useful, we moved them to theCommons for 1.1 ;-) -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Custom Software ~ Technical Services. -- Tel +1 716 737-3463 -- http://www.husted.com/about/struts/ Juha Paananen wrote: I also agree on that stuff that has references to STRUTS should not be transmitted to the EJB level.

RE: looking for success stories
Eric, Our company is using struts for 3 different web applications, travel industry stuff, one for consumers, one for airline agents, and one for administration of travel inventory. They're up, they work, they haven't been exposed to tons-of-users yet but we like'em. I did most of the development of these web clients and have to say that they're easy to understand, easy to work on, and can't think of anything coming my way that would kill the apps once a lot of users are online. Nothing that another server can't solve in any case! I'll try to get permission after release to mention our experiences etc. from mgt. (we have to regard struts as a competitive advantage, really it is). In any case, I found it, I recommended it, my butt is online and I'm still employed, the boss is happy, the contractor who did the admin web-app (using struts) liked it. All is well!

iPlanet: Registered JSP's and Struts
Please correct me if I'm wrong... and tell me if I'm right! My understanding of iPlanet Clustering is that I have to register all my JSP's in order for them to work across a cluster. However, in a Struts article by Ted Husted, he recommends that all JSPs be placed below WEB-INF so the user cannot get to them from a browser's address bar: From: http://husted.com/about/struts/catalog.htm Place all Java ServerPages below WEB-INFThe container provides security for all files below WEB-INF. This applies to client requests, but not forwards from the ActionServlet. Placing all JSPs below WEB-INF ensure that they are only accessed through Actions, and not directly by the client or each other. This allows security to be moved up into the Controller, where it can be handled more efficiently, and out of the base presentation layer. My question is - if I'm registering my "action" servlet, providing a servlet mapping for it, and making *all* my links and forms go through "action", do I have to register my JSPs? If not, will clustering still work for the JSPs? Thanks, Matt

Struts does the same thing with the HTTP request, which is basically a Map. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Custom Software ~ Technical Services. -- Tel +1 716 737-3463 -- http://www.husted.com/about/struts/ Gregor Rayman wrote: "Juha Paananen" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I want to fill in a form JavaBean using a struts form, and aftervalidating it in my Action class, store it into the db using a sessionEJB component.

You should avoid using Struts ActionForm on the business logic level. -- gR
Index of an arrayList in a options tag
Hi All, I am using an arraylist to hold some values and display them in a select box as follows. html:select property=singleSelect size=5 html:options property=selectList labelProperty=selectList/ /html:select I have created the arraylist in my action class and added some values to it. Then I set it to the form (to the selectList variable). Of course I have the getter and setter methods in my bean and it works fine. My question is, can I display the index of the arraylist as the value property in my option html tag ? How do I do it ? For e.g. I would ideally like the output to be like option value=0Some text /option option value=1Some other text/option Cheers, Gane

Hi All, especially Nial Pemberton and Ted Husted - Re Logic Tags
Hi All, I just want to know wether Nials extra logic tags will ever be put into the Struts build?

Struts on AIX
Hi JiRong
Sorry for replying so late, but I was busy in some other stuff also you
had come out with your fix.
Anyway, I saw your fix . All steps looks fine to me especially if it works
for you, but I have to say about steps 7 8.
Regarding step 7. We also came with the same fix at first, but one of our
enthusiastic deployer said that changing the DTD to use SYSTEM identifier
point to file on local system is not good practice. This hard codes the file
we have to change the file on every machine we deploy. I totally agree
with him. Later on, he diged into the source code for Struts Java came
up with the following changes in the Struts code.
In Class ActionServlet, method initDigester(int) initServlet().
// Register our local copy of the DTDs that we can find
for (int i = 0; i registrations.length; i += 2) {
URL url = this.getClass().getResource(registrations[i+1]);
if (url != null) {
digester.register(registrations[i], url.getFile()); //
modified by us
}
}
// Register our local copy of the DTDs that we can find
for (int i = 0; i registrations.length; i += 2) {
URL url = this.getClass().getResource(registrations[i+1]);
if (url != null)
digester.register(registrations[i], url.toString()); //
original
}
In Class Digester, method resolveEntity
// Return an input source to our alternative URL
try {
URL url = new URL(classloader, null, dtdURL); // we modified
InputStream stream = url.openStream();
return (new InputSource(stream));
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new SAXException(e);
}
try {
URL url = new URL(dtdURL); // original
InputStream stream = url.openStream();
return (new InputSource(stream));
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new SAXException(e);
}
The reason he gave had something to do with difference in how URL are
handled in Windows AIX. According, to him his code should work on all
systems. Altough he too wasn't much comfortable with his fix, especially the
line
URL url = new URL(classloader, null, dtdURL); could aslo be file
instead of classloader.
Anyway, That moment, it gave us a temporary fix. This was first deployment
of our part of application on production like environment. On next,
deployment hope we move to WAS 4.0. We will see what happens then. I would
like to bring this to attention of developers of Struts. So, I am posting to
developers mailing list also . They can more clearly explain if Sturts code
has a bug in regards to AIX system, or something else is wrong. They also
can tell which is a better fix. I myself don't like the idea of changing the
struts code either. Although, we have to do that anyway for FormTag problem.
Regarding step 8 for parser :
We followed following step from
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/installation-was352-x.html
6: Copy jaxp 1.0.1's (NOT 1.1.1's) jaxp.jar and parser.jar to the servlets
directory of the strut-example webapp.
That worked for us. I am not sure about the link that you had send for
parser.
Hope you are not bored by my long mail.
Regards
Shipra

Subject: Finally make the Struts working on AIX
Hi,
To share with you, here is my recorded instruction to config Struts 1.0 on
my AIX 4.3 with WebSphere 3.5.4.
Does it mean I can go ahead with Struts?
Regards,
JiRong
config Struts on sindev02
1. Start adminclient.bat from D:\WebSphere\AppServer\bin
adminclient sindev02
2. Create Applicatin Server Payment, create Default Servlet Engine
create a payment webapp to test, must change the permisson of
payment directory
3. Copy jakarta-struts-1.0.tar file to /home/rongji1/temp, extract to
/home/rongji1/ as
/home/rongji1/jakarta-struts-1.0
4. Use the Convert War File task in WebSphere to convert the
struts-example.war to /home/rongji/ as
/home/rongji1/struts-example
5. Create a WEB-INF folder under /home/rongji1/struts-example/servlets/ as
/home/rongji1/struts-example/servlets/WEB-INF
6. Copy struts-config.xml, database.xml and web.xml into the above
directory
7. Edit the struts-config.xml and web.xml to point the DTD file to local
system as:
!DOCTYPE struts-config SYSTEM
file:/home/rongji1/struts-example/servlets/org/apache/struts/resources/stru
ts-config_1_0.dtd
be careful about the space
8. Copy the latest IBM XML parse 3.2.1 from:
http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/xml4j, xerces.jar
copy into /home/rongji1/struts-example/servlets/
9. Copy struts-config_1_0.dtd, web-app_2_2.dtd and web-app_2_3.dtd from
/home/rongji1/jakarta-struts-1.0/lib to
/home/rongji1/struts-example/servlets/org/apache/struts/resources
10.Replace the struts.jar at /home/rongji1/struts-example/servlets with the
one update the FormTag from Chris:
Struts and Tomcat 4.0
Sorry everyone if this post has already been made. Does anyone have some instructions on how to get struts working with Tomcat 4.0? Thanks in advance.
