Re: how to call method with struts tag?
Ken,
Oops, I overlooked the fact that you were iterating over a Map. For Map,
your row bean will be of the type Map.Entry which has two
properties, key and value. Your MyBean instance
is stored in the value property.
To retrieve it, you can do something like:
logic:iterate id=row name=result
scope=request
bean:define id=myBean
name=row property=value
type=MyBean/
bean:write name=myBean
property=comp_name/
/logic:iterate
This may also work (but I'm not sure):
logic:iterate id=row name=result
scope=request
bean:write name=row
property=value.comp_name/
/logic:iterate

automatically calling validate() of ActionForm
Hi! my application doesn't automatically call the validate() function in my ActionForm-extending class. I added the form to the struts-config file in the right manner, but it won't work.

Re: Form properties reset ?
If you specify an ActionForm in the mapping for an Action, the contract is that the ActionServlet will autopopulate the form (see BeanUtils.populate()). Since there can only be one ActionForm under a given name in a given request, to fulfill its contract, the ActionServlet will use whatever form is there, or create a new one. Before populating the form, the ActionServlet will call reset, mostly for the benefit of checkboxes. The default reset does nothing; it's up to the developer to decide whether a property should be cleared for a given mapping and a given request. When the ActionSerlvet populates the form, it uses the public mutators (setters) that you defined. If you want to keep a field from being reset or autopopulated in some circumstances, you could setup a block in the bean's reset method and the property's mutator.

problem with html:errors tag
When I get errors with my form validation, I cannot seem to place them where I want them. I have tried html:errors / and html:errors property=firstName/ 1) In both cases (and even when there is no errors tag at all), I get all of the errors at the top of my page... any ideas why? 2) Once I get errors, I then have a page with no javascript on it - in which case the user can then just type garbage, which I want to check on the client side. How do I get around this one? I've seen posts that use the errors.header/footer to include some clever javascript - is this the only way? Thanks Marcos

populate checkbox back to frombean
Hi all I have searched the mailinglist for the following problem but did not find the answer: How is it possible to populate the state of a checkbox (checked or unchecked) back to the corresponding property in the formbean when the user clicks the submit button. The formbeans are stored in an ArrayList. I have several formbeans (same bean type) stored in an array called Mitglieder. One property of the formbean is called: selected In the JSP page I have the following: table logic:iterate id=ListMitgliederSelektionForm name=Mitglieder tr tdbean:write name=ListMitgliederSelektionForm property=fanum//td tdbean:write name=ListMitgliederSelektionForm property=mitnum//td tdbean:write name=ListMitgliederSelektionForm property=titel//td tdbean:write name=ListMitgliederSelektionForm property=name//td tdbean:write name=ListMitgliederSelektionForm property=vorname//td tdbean:write name=ListMitgliederSelektionForm property=plz//td tdbean:write name=ListMitgliederSelektionForm property=ort//td tdbean:write name=ListMitgliederSelektionForm property=land//td td html:checkbox property=selected name=ListMitgliederSelektionForm value=true/ /td /tr /logic:iterate Can struts handle this.

RE: Testing within Struts Framework
We have been using ant (http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/) to do a nightly build of all of our classes and ejbs and then deploy them to an instance of Orion application server. For each bean we write we write a corresponding JUnit test class that is named by prefixing the name of the bean with Test (so the Customer bean would have a corresponding TestCustomer class). The final step was to write a Perl script that performs the following steps. 1)Shuts down the test instance of Orion 2)Checks the latest version of the application out of CVS 3)Runs our ANT script to build and deploy the classes and Beans to Orion. 4)Starts Orion 5)Runs all of the junit Test classes (see above). 6)Emails a log of all compile and test failures to the development team. We run this script (called the Nun) on a nightly basis. This automated build-deploy-test process (very XP in conception) has led to much better code, immediate notification of both compile time and integration errors, and has made our team development environment possible. We are doing our front end testing using a product called E-Tester developed by Empirix (http://www.empirix.com/Empirix/web+test+monitoring/products/functional+test ing.html). We looked into open source options but the only one we found was HTTPUnit http://httpunit.sourceforge.net/. We found this to be more complicated to use as you have to write code for the tests. Since we have a non-coder developing the front end test suites, this approach would not have worked for us. We have had great success with E-Tester.

RE: Q about A tags with Struts!
You can do this with the html:link tag. For a single parameter using a bean property as a value you woud do: html:link href=/LaunchPad2Action.do paramID=fundId paramName=fund paramProperty=id which would create a href=/LaunchPad2Action.do?fundId=7... For multiple parameters you have to use a Map stored as a bean: html:link href=/LaunchPad2Action.do name=params This form uses the keys of the Map as the names of the parameters, with the String value associated with the key as the value for that parameter.

Problem with iterate tag
I have a collection (an ArrayList) that I stored in the request scope in an action class: request.setAttribute(trans, transactions); In my JSP, I am attempting to use the iterate tag to access this collection and iterate over the contents (the collection contains com.juniper.app.site.databean.TransactionBean instances). No matter what technique or options I use for the iterate tag, I get no iteration on this collection. Can someone enlighten me on how to get this tag to work properly with a collection stored in the request scope? Can the tag be used in this manner, or does the collection need to be a property of another bean? FYI: When using plain scriptlet code, the iteration works fine, the iterate tag usage is the problem.

Re: Getting the value of object in the iterate....
How about
input type=submit name=buttonSelected value=Get onclick=return
doSubmit('bean:write ... /'); /
instead.
Or, you might have to expose the bean as a scripting variable before
using it in a scriptlet.

Re: Initializing ArrayList used by options tag
You should initialize the array list in the Action. Any accesses to the model should be handled from the Action, so that the view is just handed static data, ready to display.

RE: Initializing ArrayList used by options tag
Hi Lisa, Best practice for a database access is, to hide these things in a seperate business object. This object can be invoked from the action class, from which you can set all the properties in the form bean (something like form.setProperty(...);. With this approach, you get a proper MVC application, and it is easier to reuse your components.

Re: html:link forward question
A page submits to an Action. If there is an ActionForm associated with the Action, it is automatically populated and handed to the perform method. The perform method returns an ActionForward, that could be another Action, a JavaServer page, or any other destination. So long as you continue to forward, rather than redirect, everything stays in the request. In a model 2 / MVC framework, links are generally made to servlet actions, and not directly to pages. The servlet actions (controller) then select which page comes next. lisa ward wrote: Hi, Can anyone please tell me how to achieve forwarding of one page to another as well as have the information in the form submitted to the form bean in the process.

RE: html:link forward question
If I understand you right, you would like to have access to the same information on the next form as well. If this is what you want to do, you should define the action in the struts-config.xml file with the attribute scope=session. This gives you the chance to have access to a bean during the entire lifetime of a session. for example: action path=/yourpath type=yourAction name=yourForm scope=session input=yourJSP1.jsp forward name=success path=/yourJSP2.jsp/ /action Cheers, Marcel -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2001 4:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: html:link forward question Hi, Can anyone please tell me how to achieve forwarding of one page to another as well as have the information in the form submitted to the form bean in the process.

RE: How to handle a PopUp Form from another Form?
Nimmi - In doing something similar to what you want to do I did the following: 1) Create javascript function to open a new modal window (I am only concerned with supporting IE5.5, so using #showModalDialog works for me 2) create the link using plain ol' html, with an onClick handler that points to my javascript function. Build the url to pass to the function using html:rewrite which allows you to specify your forward, etc as you are currently doing with the html:link tag 3) For the action that I open in the popup, I define both success and failure pages. The success page contains javascript that looks for the opener window and refreshes it, then closes the popup window. 4) using the #showModalDialog is the most effective way that I have found to prevent the user from going back to the opener window.

Re: html:link forward question
Hi again, This is my present scenario. I have a page that contains a number of checkboxes, which have been rendered using the struts multibox tag. The user needs to select at least one or more checkboxes before they can proceed. Once at least one check box has been selected I then proceed to an action. However when I do this, I notice that the checkbox values which the form bean have not been populated yet. On the other hand if I do a submit first the values are populated just fine. Are you saying that if I forward to an action that has a bean associated to it that the values within the form bean will be populated as a result of this. How does this really work?

The indexed property will work if you use the
nightly build. The name of
the
submit button will be suffixed with [x] where x is
the interation index.
You
can then check that in your action.

Hi all,

RE: Iterate with 3 array lists (urgent)
To get struts to auto-populate the changes on submit, you have to use indexed

Subject: RE: Iterate with 3 array lists (urgent)
What I have done (and seems to work) is:
My ActionForm (I've taken out a lot of erroneous stuff for this
conversation):
public class ViewOutputClassListForm extends ActionForm implements
java.io.Serializable
{
private Collection outputClassList;
private String[]pctAllocations;
public ViewOutputClassListForm()
{
}
public void setPctAllocation( String[] allocations )
{
this.pctAllocations = allocations;
}
public Collection getOutputClassList()
{
return this.outputClassList;
}
public void setOutputClassList( Collection outputClassList )
{
this.outputClassList = outputClassList;
}
}
The outputClassList contains a bunch of OutputClassDto objects. One of
the attributes is pctAllocation, with matching get and set methods.
My jsp page:
logic:iterate id=element name=ViewOutputClassListForm
property=outputClassList indexId=index scope=session
type=myPackageName.OutputClassDto
TR
TDbean:write name=element property=name//TD
TDformat:format name=element property=budget purpose=View
type=Currency//TD
TDformat:text name=element property=pctAllocation
purpose=Edit type=Numeric //TD
/TR
/logic:iterate
Note that the purpose and type properties are extensions that we added
so that numbers can be formatted how we want. Ignore those.
In the validate() method of the form, after it has been submitted,
attribute pctAllocations is populated with an array of the values for
property pctAllocation.
It would have been better for the individual objects in outputClassList
to have had their set methods called to update the data but it wasn't,
and this seems to work.

Generic selection forms
Group, I have been trying to come up with a list of options related to a Struts-based application. I would appreciate your ideas and comments. At this point I have prototyped a few ideas and have not come up with a structure I am satisfied with. I am trying to build a report/inquiry framework. I would like to be able to define a JSP page that takes some entry criteria and returns a result. I am reasonably satisfied with the flow of this application although I think the workflow support I have been reading about will really help. The main area I am struggling with is in building generic selection objects and output format descriptions. I tried a generic selection where every value on the screen has the same name and the type is passed as a parameter. This makes it difficult to validate (entered, numeric, date, etc) values without a trip to the server. The data relations and output format is described in a resource bundle. I take a result set and put it into a set of hash tables that allows the application to format the data fairly flexibly. The hash tables are set up as a 4d cube for report/result set/rows/columns. The main drawback has been that this can eat up memory and is not necessary if the user has not customized their view. Finally, when I have run into some printing challenges. Most of these are related to the use of HTML and CSS. I cannot get page headings to work as I think the CSS specification says it should with IE 5.5. I experimented with JDOM and FOP and could not get this to perform acceptably due to the massive memory requirements. I do believe that I could improve the performance if I could get FOP to process the input document using SAX events rather than building the full DOM tree. Anyone else successful doing this for a report that spans more than a few pages? Thanks, David Morris
Re: populate checkbox back to frombean
You have to use an indexed tag (available in nightly build, or you can do same thing via scriptlets) so that the index of the collection is added to the name of the checkbox - eg ListMitgliederSelektionForm[0].selected. You also need to add a getListMitgliederSelektionForm(int i) in the array, which returns the bean at index i.

Validator and Backwards Compatibility
Outside of what is defined as differences in the
revisions.html file -- what are the backwards
compatibility issues. This is really an effort to
understand what will be required when Struts1-1 goes
final and what changes will be required.
so...
What are the backwards compatibility issues between
the nightly builds of the validator and the 7/2/2001
build for struts1-0?
From a glance at the sample applications there seems
to be a javascript difference. In the 7/2/2001
version the javascript requires a certain variable to
be set bCancel, whereas the latest build allows you
to code this, but a simple function is necessary:
script language=javascript
!--
function submitForm(form) {
if (form.validate.value == 0) {
return true;
}
if (validateSimpleForm(form)) {
form.submit.value= ...;
return true;
}
else return false;
};
// --
/script
What are the new validators that have been added? Can
these be used in the strut1-0 compliant version or
will it not work? What javascript additional
functionality has been added for the old validators as
well? Basically what is a list of all changes to the
validation.xml validators and which of these can I
copy and paste into the struts1-0 compliant version?
When defining a msg parameter does the name attribute
have to be defined?
The alternative format for variables i.e.
var name= value=
does not work for struts1-0 compliant version?

24/7 availability
Group, Another question, which is not entirely Struts related. We recently implemented a system that relies heavily on Struts in a 24/7 environment. Right now we have some opportunities to cycle Tomcat 3.2.3, which is what we are running Struts on. In the future those opportunities will get further apart. At that point, we will only be able to stop and restart individual applications. Struts seems to have some problems with objects disappearing, especially forms. Has anyone implemented a mechanism that facilitates reloading of individual applications? If not does anyone have any suggestions on where I might begin implementing this type of support? Thanks, David Morris
Re: Knowing where you came from
If you only want to know when an action is reached from another action, you can have the first action set an arbitrary request attribute before forwarding, and have the second action check for the existence of that attribute.

few
updates (min/max and any bug fixes) to the 7/2/2001

When defining a msg parameter does the name

have to be defined?
Yes.
The alternative format for variables i.e.
var name= value=
does not work for struts1-0 compliant version?
I don't remember if you can still use this format or
not, but you should really use the nested element
structure. This was changed so you could use cdata
tags around a regular expression and not have to
escape anything out.

Re: PrePopulating a form
Checking for a submit control in the request is very clever. Another approach would be to setup an alternate ActionMapping with validate=false. This could either lead to a separate Action that prepopulated the form, or a task in the same Action, queued by a hidden property or the parameter property from the mappig. (I tend to do the latter.) Even when a form does not need to be prepopulated, I would queuing it through a mapping, even it just forwards to a JSP. action path=/Input forward=/pages/Input.jsp /action This gives you the opportunity to interpose an action later, should one be needed, and keeps the entry points documented in the struts-config. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Custom Software ~ Technical Services. -- Tel +1 716 737-3463 -- http://www.husted.com/struts/ Dave Remy wrote: I am doing this (doing the GET to the action class to prepopulate the form) and it works well but there was one interesting thing that happened (assuming I have everything set up right).

Validator and Struts 1.0
sorry David, but I accidentally deleted the thread
that was started from my mail.
I think that having a final release of validator for
release 1.0 of struts is a great idea.
One thing that you mentioned is that using bCancel as
a javascript variable is optional. How to do this
using the 7/2/2001 release?
The code in JavaScriptValidatorTag.java in the
getJavascriptBegin method adds this variable:
sb.append(!-- Begin \n);
sb.append(\n var bCancel = false; \n\n);
Is it possible that when you make the final release --
that you can make this compatible with the current
nightly builds as well.
In the 7/2/2001 release one defines the buttons as
follows:
html:submit property=submit
onclick=bCancel=false;
bean:message key=button.save/
/html:submit
nbsp;
html:reset
bean:message key=button.reset/
/html:reset
nbsp;
html:cancel onclick=bCancel=true;
bean:message key=button.cancel/
/html:cancel
whereas in the nightly builds it seems like you need
to define a separate function to handle the variable
that you define:
script language=javascript
!--
function submitForm(form) {
if (form.validate.value == 0) {
return true;
}
if (validateSimpleForm(form)) {
form.submit.value= ...;
return true;
}
else return false;
};
// --
/script
and then define the buttons as follows:
input type=hidden name=validate
value=0html:submit
onclick=this.form.validate.value='1';ENTER/html:submitnbsp;html:cancel
onclick=this.form.validate.value='0';CANCEL/html:cancel
Are my assumptions wrong?
You seem to have indicated that they are. How can I
get these two to be compatible with each other.
thanks for taking the time

What are the backwards compatibility issues

The revision notes cover most things. I'm aware

at

the Validator with Struts 1.0. The commons

(beans, collections, digester) are being used so
they
would need to be added. Otherwise a nightly build
of
the Validator should work OK with Struts 1.0, but
I
haven't tested this.
From a glance at the sample applications there
seems
to be a javascript difference. In the 7/2/2001
version the javascript requires a certain
variable
to
be set bCancel, whereas the latest build
allows
you
to code this, but a simple function is
necessary:
This shouldn't be required. You don't need to add
this javascript. It just gives you a way to turn
off
the javascript validations for the cancel button
(or
any other button you don't want validation run
on).
script language=javascript

functionality has been added for the old
validators
as
well? Basically what is a list of all changes
to
the
validation.xml validators and which of these can
I
copy and paste into the struts1-0 compliant
version?
The revision list covers most changes. The new
min

If I end up writing anything useful along these lines I will let everyone know... regards, --Steve -Original Message- From: David Winterfeldt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 2:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Auto-generating ActionForms [...] 2. Has anyone had any experience dealing with complex ActionForms, such as those derived from a XML Schema? It seems like the Struts taglibs are more about handling relatively flat documents; can anyone suggest other approaches for doing things like generating and handling forms with optional repeating groups, etc.? You can have nested properties if you aren't aware of that. So for a property you could have address.name and this would be the equivalent of getAddress().getName(). (address[2].name - retrieve object from array and then call getName()) So this can let you have different beans nested inside each other.

What is proper way to determine ActionForm type?
I am trying to write a generic Action class that I can use with any ActionForm to add an item to any collection property it may contain. For example, if I had two ActionForms which each contain a collection (say AddressList and ProductList), I could call the same Action with either form, pass it the name of the collection, and have it add a new item to it, passing control back to the calling View. In order to make it generic, I want the class to figure out the ActionForm type specified in the mapping, recast the generic ActionForm as the proper type, and then add another item to the collection indicated by a passed request attribute. To dynamically determine the ActionForm type, I'm trying to use the equivalent of ActionMapping.getFormClass(), which has been deprecated. The suggested alternative is to use ActionMapping.getName() and then use it to look-up the ActionFormBean. It seems the way to do this is to use ActionFormBeans.findFormBean(String beanName). However, the following code returns a null ActionFormBean. String formBeanName = mapping.getName(); ActionFormBeans actionFormBeans = new ActionFormBeans(); ActionFormBean theFormBean = actionFormBeans.findFormBean(formBeanName); I assume that my ActionFormBeans object itself is empty and I am not creating or populating it properly, but I could not find details in the Struts javadoc.

Re: What is proper way to determine ActionForm type?
I'd consider using some type of polymorphism, where all of these ActionForms share a common ancestor, with a known method, like addItem(object), that would act as a wrapper. Each ActionForm could then override addItem to call whatever list is appropriate. ProductList extends ActionList addItem(addProductItem(o)) ; AddressList extends ActionList addItem(addAddressItem(o)); In your framework Action, you could then just cast as the ancestor method and call the overridden method ActionList actionList = (ActionList) form; actionList.addItem(o); If you are still interested in determining the ActionForm bean type, see the source of the processActionForm method for how the ActionServlet does it. If you need to call a method based on a parameter, see the source for DispatchAction in the Actions package, which calls a local method based on the string given as the parameter property. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Custom Software ~ Technical Services. -- Tel +1 716 737-3463 -- http://www.husted.com/struts/ Stephen Hood wrote: I am trying to write a generic Action class that I can use with any ActionForm to add an item to any collection property it may contain.

Creating your own ActionForm inside of an Action
Hi everyone, I have a situation in which I would like to do the following: 1) I'm at a jsp page, let's call it a.jsp. It has one link that looks like: html:link page=/mainMenu.do?action=customer Customer /html:link 2) My mainMenu action in struts-config.xml looks like (name=... is left out on purpose): action path=/mainMenu type=net.alfa.china.menus.MainMenuAction forward name=customer path=/customer_main.jsp/ forward name=order path=/order_main.jsp/ forward name=purchase path=/purchase_main.jsp / forward name=inventory path=/inventory_main.jsp / /action 3) Inside of perform in MainMenuAction, I would like to create my own form bean of type ActionForm. I am then going to load a customer from my db (through a business logic bean), and set the fields in the ActionForm. I'm hoping to use that ActionForm to populate a form in customer_main.jsp when we finally forward there. That form is defined using html:form. I'm basically wondering what the mechanism is that struts uses to populate a html:form with an ActionForm. I'm coming from a page without a form (a.jsp), would like to be able to create an ActionForm in perform(), stick it in the request, and when I forward to my customer_main.jsp, have struts populate the form there with what's in the ActionForm. I've tried quite a few different approaches and can't seem to make it work. Is this possible? Any suggestions? Thanks, Tony Li
