AW: Struts and HttpUnit
download httpunit; try the examples; there is no difference between struts generated frontend or not struts generated. you will need the jtidy too, to parse the html files (response). with httpunit you can test the functionality from websites -named black box tests. the interessting thing with httpunit woud be, when you connect them with ant and do them continous as a cron job. you can then create then xml logs with ant .. juraj -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Matt Raible [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Freitag, 24.

template tags
I put a special header and footer on all my pages. I'd like to do this with the template tags. Template tags allow you to pass named parameters to the template. However, I need to pass a list of things (navigation URLs) into my header so it can print a list of hyperlinks. It doesn't seem possible to pass a list of items with the template tags. Can anyone suggest anything? Devon

Re: Hard time understanding tld(s)...
Hi, there. These are tag library declarations that are modified into your application web.xml and thus declared in your JSP FILE ( %@ taglib uri=/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld prefix=bean % )as an example. Thus you can refer to ie the prefix=bean bean:write/ or bean:message/ as write and message tags and create resources ( MyApplicationResource.properties.FILE)for message and write as it's uri location are mapped in web.xml.The Best course of action is to read the documentation as im still getting to grips with struts however i find the material very good. I personally found very imformative mat's at http://www.husted.com/about/struts. Good Reading plenty of it.NOTE this is my current understanding im still learning .

The index number of iterate tag
Hi,
Could any one tell me how to get the index number in a iterate tag? For example, I
want to show a html table in screen like below.
No. Name. Address..
---
1 AAAXX
2 BBB xxY
3 CCC ffxx
..
And I have a collection of objects which have attribute name and address ... etc. I
can use logic:iterate to display this collection. But I don't know how to get the
item number number. Now, I use a variable i and use scriptlet %= ++i % in JSP, but I
think the codes are ugly. Is there a tag or implicit variable to get the index number
of logic:iterate ?

How to include an .do from a jsp
Hi all, some time ago I've written about my problem including *.do in jsps. E.g. in the template tags. The problem is caused be the way, how Action/ActionServlet controls the invocation of its view. The request is either forwarded or redirected to the view and neither forwarding nor redirecting work, when the action is included. My workaround is, to let the Action's perform() method to return null and then in my composite view include the sub-view. So something like: jsp:include page=thing.do / jsp:inlcude page=thing-success.jsp / This definitely breaks the MVC pattern, since the composite view controls the view of the sub-action. My proposal: Now I can specify in struts-config.xml that a forward should be redirected with redirect=true. What about allowing include as well? Even better would be, it ActionServlet recognised, the action is beeing included and it would include the view instead of forwarding/redirecting to it. I'll try to have a look at it in September and submit a patch. -- gR

Struts Fast collections, deprecation
I've just tried using FastTreeMap, and found that it had been deprecated. Why? Is there replacement (other than the standard classes)? Can someone update the online documentation to reflect this deprecation? Thanks. David Corbin
RE: Re: Re: template tags
You mean something like this? logic:iterate id=x template:get name=%= x % / /logic:iterate I am not sure, whether this is possible in the soon-to-be-deprecated template tags or in the tiles tags, but the idea is good.

Security, authentication and authorisation with Struts
Hi Guys, I wondered what approach you guys took when implementing security, authentication and authorisation. I have the common scenario where the application I am creating allocates roles to certain types of users, allows them to login, then restricts access to certain pages and within the pages certain content. As this is a very common problem/scenario I wondered what approach you guys took when using Struts. Do you utilise container managed security or do you use application managed security? - what have you found works best with Struts? Does anyone have any suggestions or example applications I could take a look at? Thanks in advance, Simon. For optimum solutions that save you time, visit www.ds-s.com.

Re: Hi All, especially Nial Pemberton and Ted Husted - Re Logic Tags
Personally, I would tend to want to stand pat on the Struts tag extensions while the JSPTL is being sorted out. Ideally, I believe we would want to include a bare minimum number of tags with Struts, and leave everything else to places like Jakarta Taglibs. It's possible that Nial might want to propose his Taglibs over there, for wider distribution. We'll probably be moving our own logic tags there too eventually. An important point generally is that Struts is not meant to be an omnibus platform for Web development. We do not want to include everything any developer might ever want to use to write an application. Struts is designed as a lightweight platform that fills the gaps between Servlets, JavaServer Pages, i18n, and a MVC type design. We included some general purpose tags to begin with, because when we started, places like Jakarta Taglibs and the Commons didn't exist. Now that they do, we'll be moving whatever functionality we can over there, so Struts can focus on only doing the things Struts absolutely needs to do. When Craig decided to name the framework Struts, I think part of what he had in mind was that the less of it that shows, the better ;-) -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Custom Software ~ Technical Services. -- Tel +1 716 737-3463 -- http://www.husted.com/about/struts/ Dudley Butt@i-Commerce wrote: Hi All, I just want to know wether Nials extra logic tags will ever be put into the Struts build?

RE: Security, authentication and authorisation with Struts
We actually do more or less the same. During the login phase we retrieve the user profile which includes the authorization information and store this in the session context. Each action can then take some access control decision based on this information. However I am currently trying to use JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization Service) just for the authorization part. I have written a doc on the various issues of doing so and how I'm planning to do so. I'm still working on it but it may be useful to some of you, so I attach it. This document mentions eShell: this is the name of the framework we use, and it is extending Struts. As usual, any comments on this is welcome :) Fr. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 24 August 2001 15:27 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Security, authentication and authorisation with Struts I wondered what approach you guys took when implementing security, authentication and authorisation. I have the common scenario where the application I am creating allocates roles to certain types of users, allows them to login, then restricts access to certain pages and within the pages certain content. I use a subclass of ActionServlet that ensures that the username (a String) and authorization info (a bean) for this user are saved in the session scope before any Actions are called. (They aren't combined into one object because I need the username for other situations when I may not require auth information.) At the top of each Action I consult the authorization bean to see if this user has the appropriate permissions to call this Action. If so, I just keep going. If not, I forward to a JSP that tells them no. If the authorization bean doesn't exist anymore it's because the session timed out in which case I forward to another JSP asking them to start over. The ability to choose your view in the Action is really, really nice.

Provide subject-based access control by extending the standard Java 2 security model: access control can be based on who is running the code in addition to which code source is running. Allow the use of a custom policy object which can retrieve user permissions from any storage. JAAS is distributed as a standard extension to the J2SE 1.3 platform, and is completely integrated into J2SE 1.4. However despite this integration, there are important issues that makes it difficult to integrate JAAS in the context of a web application. Integration Issues The issues one faces when using JAAS within a web application relate on one side to the current state of the J2EE specifications, and on the other side to the way JAAS is currently defined. At present there is no way to provide a portable solutions to these issues. Issues with the J2EE specification The issues with the current J2EE 1.2 specification is that it does not integrate JAAS. Indeed, container providers are not required to use JAAS for implementing authentication and authorization. In the case of the Servlet specification, web containers are just required to support: Basic authentication: browser asks for userid/password Form-based authentication: allow a custom screen for userid/pwd Client certificate authentication: based on PKI infrastructure Role-based access control to web resource Therefore it's only through these standard authentication and authorization mechanisms that one can benefit from container managed security (e.g. propagation of the user identity to an EJB container). The J2EE specification v1.3 goes a little further in integrating JAAS within the J2EE
Re: Security, authentication and authorisation with Struts
rey-- that seems like a reasonable approach, but i've read in more than one post on this board that subclassing the ActionServlet should be avoided. wouldn't it be better to put this code directly into the action servlet and rebuild struts? i'd also be interested in hearing the rationale behind the desire not to subclass ActionServlet from those of you who prefer to avoid it. jon Rey Francois wrote: We actually do more or less the same. During the login phase we retrieve the user profile which includes the authorization information and store this in the session context.

I have written a doc on the various issues of doing so and how I'm planning to do so. I'm still working on it but it may be useful to some of you, so I attach it.

At the top of each Action I consult the authorization bean to see if this user has the appropriate permissions to call this Action. If so, I just keep going.

RE: Security, authentication and authorisation with Struts
I would highly recommend looking at JAAS for authentication/authorization. I'm using it in conjunction with Struts right now (using JBoss/Tomcat) and everything is working fine. I'm still in development and haven't gone live yet, but so far so good. JAAS takes a little while to get your head around. Lots of terminology to decipher. But the promise of implementation independent security in your application was worth it for me. It's pretty straight forward in JBoss, but again it'll take you some time reading and playing with it before it starts making sense. See http://java.sun.com/products/jaas/index-10.html for more details. -ryan -Original Message- From: Prior, Simon To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: 8/24/2001 8:11 AM Subject: Security, authentication and authorisation with Struts Hi Guys, I wondered what approach you guys took when implementing security, authentication and authorisation.

Re: welcome file in web.xml with pre-compiled jsp's?
Hello, I don't know if I understand your question completely, but are you saying that having a servlet (or the ActionServlet) as a welcome page would solve your problem? Or must it be a .jsp? I am using the ActionServlet to forward to my welcome page. I have index.do listed as my welcome file. To get this to work, I had to put a blank file called index.do in my WEB-INF directory. This seems to work fine in both resin and orion.

referring to a formBean property in a scriptlet
Hello,
I'm new to Struts, and really like what I see. I didn't see this in the
docs, so maybe someone can answer this.
I'm working on a small sample app that displays an Employee Id on a form for
maintenance. I need to display the ID as static text if the Employee record
already exists, or in a textfield if the Employee record does not yet exist.
So I put a boolean flag 'isNew' in the formBean. What's the best way to
refer to that flag within a scriptlet? That is,
% if ( ??FORMBEAN??.getIsNew() ) { %
html:text property=employeeId size=30 maxlength=30/
% } else { %
%= ??FORMBEAN??.getEmployeeId() %
% } %
Does Struts provide a standard id I can use to refer to my formBean? Or do I
have to put in a 'useBean' directive and access the bean directly?

I am using the ActionServlet to forward to my welcome page. I have index.do listed as my welcome file. To get this to work, I had to put a blank file called index.do in my WEB-INF directory. This seems to work fine in both resin and orion. Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi everyone, I am pre-compiling my jsp's in my struts web app, and everything works fine, except specifying the welcome file in the web.xml. If I do not pre-compile everything, having index.jsp as the first page works great. However, when I pre-compile index.jsp it doesn't work. Putting an uncompiled index.jsp back in the root directory makes it work again. I guess it is because I am now calling a servlet instead of page, but not sure how to get around this. Does anyone know if there is something special I have to do, or if there is anywhere else I can specify the first page as a servlet?

RE: Index of an arrayList in a options tag
With minimal changes, the best way is to do something like this: html:select property=singleSelect size=5 html:options property=indexList labelProperty=selectList/ /html:select where indexList is an array of your index values. The other way is to create say a collection(say, allOptions) of OptionLabelValue beans. Each of this bean holds one 'option'(label-value pair). then in your JSP: html:select property=singleSelect size=5 html:options collection=allOptions property=value labelProperty=label/ /html:select (They have examples in the struts-example app.) Hope that helps! - Aparna -Original Message- From: Ganendran Kumaraswamy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 24, 2001 1:28 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: 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.

Funny, I was just griping about this to a friend last night: that tags aren't composable like functions and classes. IMO it's a major weakness in JSP.

RE: Cannot retrieve mapping for action /j_security_check
You will need to add the Action mapping in your struts-config.xml file. You will also need the form-bean mapping that your form will use to pass the form data to the action class. Here is an example. form-beans !-- Loin form bean -- form-bean name=loginForm type=com.dextera.examples.forms.LoginForm/ /form-beans action-mappings !-- Process a user login -- actionpath=/login type=com.dextera.examples.actions.LoginAction name=loginForm scope=request input=/login.jsp forward name=success path=/home.jsp/ /action-mappings All in all you will need the following: 1. A form bean to carry the data 2. Action servlet to perform your action 3. Form bean declaration in struts-config 4. Action mapping in struts-config Good luck.

You are seeing that behavior is because Hashtable returns a Collection of Values when values() is invoked.

RE: Cannot retrieve mapping for action /j_security_check
If you are using container-managed authentication, why use a Struts
FormBean? You can get the username from the container using the
getCallPrincipal() method of HttpServletRequest to get the logged in user's
principal.
If you absolutely want to use an ActionForm via Struts, keep reading.
You will need to create a FormBean with 2 fields of type String.
-- Code for LoginForm.java --
package com.yourcompany.yourapp.LoginForm;
//import statements here
public class LoginForm extends ActionForm {
protected String j_username;
protected String j_password;
public LoginForm() {
super();
}
public void setJ_username(String j_username) {
this.j_username = j_username;
}
public String getJ_username() {
return j_username;
}
public void setJ_password(String j_password) {
this.j_password = j_password;
}
public String getJ_password() {
return j_password;
}
//other methods for ActionForm
}
-- End Code --
You will also have to supply the name and type parameters in the html:form
tag
-- code for login.jsp --
html:form name=loginForm
action=j_security_check
method=POST
type=com.yourcompany.yourapp.LoginForm
scope=session
%-- Other html elements --%
/html:form
-- end code --
You will also need to declare your LoginForm inside struts-config.xml
-- code for struts-config.xml --
struts-config
form-beans
form-bean name=loginForm type=com.yourcompany.yourapp.LoginForm/
!-- other form-bean declarations --
/form-beans
!-- other struts-config elements --
/struts-config
-- end code --
That should be it, just make sure you setup your web.xml file to use
form-based login.

Thanks for the quick reply but this seems like too much work just to get
some consistency across my .jsp forms. I would think there would be a way
for struts to let forms posted to j_security_check pass through to the
servlet container instead of the normal Action classes. I want the
container, not Struts, to do my authentication/authorization.

Subject: RE: Cannot retrieve mapping for action /j_security_check
You will need to add the Action mapping in your struts-config.xml file.
You
will also need the form-bean mapping that your form will use to pass the
form data to the action class.
Here is an example.
form-beans
!-- Loin form bean --
form-bean name=loginForm
type=com.dextera.examples.forms.LoginForm/
/form-beans
action-mappings
!-- Process a user login --
actionpath=/login
type=com.dextera.examples.actions.LoginAction
name=loginForm
scope=request
input=/login.jsp
forward name=success path=/home.jsp/
/action-mappings
All in all you will need the following:
1. A form bean to carry the data
2. Action servlet to perform your action
3. Form bean declaration in struts-config
4. Action mapping in struts-config
Good luck.

Subject: Cannot retrieve mapping for action /j_security_check
Hello all,
I looked in the archives but couldn't find an answer to my question. I'd
like to convert my working form-based login page to use struts' html
form
taglib. I get the following Exception when trying to load login.jsp:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot retrieve mapping for action
/j_security_check
I was hoping someone could help out with the conversion. This works:
form name=login action=j_security_check method=POST
table border=3 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=2 align=center
tr
th align=rightUsername:/th
tdinput type=text name=j_username size=20/td
/tr
tr
th align=rightPassword:/th
tdinput type=password name=j_password size=20/td
/tr
tr align=center
td colspan=2input type=submit value=Login/td
/tr
/table
/form
This does not:
html:form action=j_security_check focus=j_username
table border=3 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=2 align=center
tr
th align=rightUsername:/th
tdhtml:text property=j_username//td

I'm
not sure what that entry should be. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: URL Encode for a JSP Page using Struts
Generally, I would tend to first put static parameters into the Global
Forward, so they can have logical names, and then let the Struts
html:link tag add whatever else was needed. If more than one set of
dynamic parameter is needed, because of normalization issues, then a Map
can be passed to the link tag.

This is an example of using the class to add two parameters to a forward:
ParameterActionForward forward = new ParameterActionForward(

forward.addParameter(id,String.valueOf(questionForm.getQuestionId()));
forward.addParameter(modified,true);
return forward;
I hope this is useful to you Krishna. And I welcome any (constructive)
peer criticism. In fact, as I was pasteing, I noticed a potential bug.
I don't think this would work on forwards that didn't have redirect set
to true, so play with it, test it, and modify it before you use it. I
am using it for something specific and it works for me.

Just put it in as a Global Forward, something like this
forward name=itemFindScript
path=/do/item/Search?column=script/
or in your case
forward name=something
path=/do/Something?mode=21/
or, using extension mapping
forward name=something
path=/Something.do?mode=21/
You can also refer to Global Forwards in the link tag, and Struts will
append any other parameters you supply (paramID, paramProperty).

RE: Security, authentication and authorisation with Struts
Jonathan: Another approach you may want to look at is the way we've done the Struts integration with our own OSS framework, Expresso: We subclass Action in our Controller class, and the Controller class actually does all of the authentication/authorization work for us. There of course more to it than that, but that's the gist - you can read about it at http://www.jcorporate.com/doc/index.html - the Expresso Developer's Guide explains about our Controller objects (basically finite-state machines that contain the application's logic) and there are a couple of write-ups in the index about how Struts and Expresso fit together. We have optional strong encryption for Expresso's entire security layer (and it's object/relational mapping layer), which is also discussed in the doc, making it possible to implement a highly secure application at all levels. Hope it's helpful!

I don't do this because I also put an object in the application scope (for complicated reasons) and it seems silly to put this code in the Action code which is rather far from the application level. i'd also be interested in hearing the rationale behind the desire not to subclass ActionServlet from those of you who prefer to avoid it.
