Is Struts architecture a disadvantage?

2002-06-06 Thread Yaman Kumar


MessageHi,
I have a question regarding struts architecture, As the Html form and its
validation has been moved and
implemented at server side ( a ActionForm ), once any validation error
encounters that  is shown
in the same page from which this request is generated ( this is very
impressing), but the page
can't retain its old information other than form information.

Case:
An action class bound data into request scope with 3 different attribute
names and forwarding to x.jsp which has
got a form (XFORM) too. In x.jsp it received 3 different attributes and
shown data in tabular format , when
user submits this form to different action this form bean will be validated
and if any errors encountered x.jsp
page would be shown back to user, at this time user can't see the data that
is shown tabular format.
As request is new it can't hold the previous state, this compels the struts
users to keep this data(3 attributes)in session scope so when user comes
back he could see the error with the data too. In a big web application if
we keep data
in session scope the server/application become heavily loaded.

Don't you think this is disadvantage of keeping /validating the formbean at
server side. But I'm sure there are more and more advantages over this
disadvantage.

Please let me know if any better way to solve above problem and forgive me
to  understand this as a disadvantage
of struts architecture.

Thanks
yaman

Re: Frames not able to pick up the corresponding jsps

Make sure you have the html:base tag in your header and refer to the 
frames relatively.

How the Action Controller works

2002-06-06 Thread Chandra Sekharan Bhaskaran

Title: Message



hi,
In what cases does the ActionController instantiates 
ActionForm and calls the reset() and validate() methods of 
ActionForm.
    How does it know if html form fields need to be populated in some cases 
whereas in other cases where there are no form fields then ActionForm obj 
is just created and does not call the reset() and validate() 
method.

the ActionClass that forwards the request to registration.jsp has the responsibilty of filling up the bean and setting it against the key. By directly typing the URL, we by pass that action. So there is a error.

that is not the first page i guess. It has to be index.jsp. Infact index.jsp is the welcome page.
so just typing

s'd work.

RE: SQL STatements in a Properties file.

2002-06-06 Thread Vikram Goyal01


I am not quite sure that putting your SQL in a properties file is such a good idea. 
Whats the advantage? 
If the advantage is that you dont have to change the source code because of query 
changes, then I think that it is misleading. If the query changes, there must have 
been a business requriement for it -- > you have to change functionality somewhere --> 
Means you have to change your source code to take advantage of this new query 
somewhere down the line (EJB, Action, JSP ) --> So you end up touching your source 
code. The whole idea of DAO's is to abstract your queries and data access. Having 
another level of abstraction is IMHO pointless.

The framework knows nothing of sql.

However, I have also pondered the using the message resources for something
like this.
I guess if your data layer had access to the message resourcesyou could
do something like this.

sql.customers.get=Select * from customers
sql.customer.get=Select * from customers where id = {0}
sql.customer.update=update customers set name={0}, address={1} where id =
{3}
sql.customer.delete=detete from customers where id = {0}

Although, this can get pretty messy quickly.
Have you considered using an OR tool???

am not sure, but when i took a look @ it a year ago, it was more like a 
XML --> Java converter /  XML --> Object converter and used to work the 
other way around as well.
More along the lines of what JAXB is aiming to standardize.
So it does'nt appear to be a struts competitor . but i c'd be wrong

No alternative. Just had a look through.
It's valid, I'll have to make one and get it in there.

...there shouldn't be an ugly border. I'd also recommend getting the
height and with of the image in the tag also, because it will reserve
space on the page for the browser until the image loads. That's why some
pages suddenly expand all over the place while you're trying to read the
content that's there. The image sizes haven't been specified in the Html.

I'll get onto the img tag though.

Whether you use path matching or extension matching is mostly an issue of
personal taste, but one warning is important -- if you want to use the
multi-application support in Struts 1.1-b1, it only works with extension
mapping.

RE: Struts PowerPoint presentation

2002-06-06 Thread James Mitchell


Hey, if you need any help with asp to java differences.  Just ask.

The hardest part of learning Java coming from ASP is simple the terminology.
Examples:
Whats the difference between an ASP redirect and JSP forward?
Wheres my global.asa?

I cant tell you how many times I had to stare at a peice of code and wonder
what the equivalent was...only to have a DOH!! So thats the
Server.MapPath() in Java!!! some time later.

If your developers are open minded (like the signature line says), and quick
learners, they can cross that bridge in 4 to 9 months flateasy.

Im a private consultant in the North Georgia (Atlanta) area.
Ive been writing ASP/COM for over 7 years.
For the last 2 years, Ive been sliding down the slippery slope of
MVC/Java/Struts.
I still get paid to support a few ASP apps, but most new dev is Java/Struts.

Ive briefly looked at .Net also, but never done anything serious.
I completed the HelloWorld.cs and dont quite understand (or want to) the
whole code-behind thing.  Sounds like someones copying the Struts
framework.hm

It sounds like you are using Struts in this application.  The way you would
simply forward to a .jsp in Struts would be to access that .jsp from a
"forward".  This requires a couple of changed to the struts-config.xml..

In the  section add this line:

NOTE: The above path may be wrong for your particular set-up, but I think
you can figure it out from here.

In the  section add this line:

NOTE: The ".do" is probably correct for your application but it can be
different depending on your configuration in web.xml

such as xml, rdbms, or call to a url (ftp/http/whatever)

RE: JSP's under WEB-INF?

2002-06-06 Thread Jerry Jalenak


In looking at the Struts doc, is there any reason why the following wouldn't
work just as well?

in the JSP



in struts-config





I've tried it this was, and when I look at the generted HTML, the link looks
OK - but I still get the 404 error. Any idea why?

That's because you are not following the recommendation 100%

You should always go through an action.
even if next.jsp is a simple form..use "/next.do" instead

that way you can put this in your struts-config:

JSP's under WEB-INF?

Hi All,

I'm trying to following some of the 'best practices' that I've seen on this
mailing list, in particular the recommendation to put JSP's in a directory
under WEB-INF.  I've got a test application where the INDEX.JSP is outside
of WEB-INF, but all of my other JSP's are in a directory called 'test' that
is under WEB-INF.  When I try to link to one of these pages (using
, for example),  I get '404' errors saying the
page cannot be found.  I know it's there, 'cause I can see it.  How do I do
this? Is there something in Tomcat that I am totally missing?

Thanks!

RE: SQL STatements in a Properties file.

2002-06-06 Thread James Mitchell


The framework knows nothing of sql.

However, I have also pondered the using the message resources for something
like this.
I guess if your data layer had access to the message resourcesyou could
do something like this.

sql.customers.get=Select * from customers
sql.customer.get=Select * from customers where id = {0}
sql.customer.update=update customers set name={0}, address={1} where id =
{3}
sql.customer.delete=detete from customers where id = {0}

Although, this can get pretty messy quickly.
Have you considered using an OR tool???

RE: Struts and cookies

2002-06-06 Thread Chappell, Simon P


Easy one!

Reason:

It's because when you use a forward, you are not actually making a trip back to the 
client, so the new cookie has not made it to the browser yet and the JSP that you have 
forwarded to get's the last known state sent by the browser, which was before you 
generated the cookie.

Code Fragment:

if (databaseTransactionCompleted) {
//
// Put the username into a cookie.
//
Cookie c = new Cookie(SessionData.COOKIE_USERNAME, 
logonData.getUsername());
c.setMaxAge(-1); // Session only cookie
response.addCookie(c);

forward = mapping.findForward(SUCCESS);
forward.setRedirect(true);
} else {
forward = mapping.findForward(FAILURE);
}
return (forward);
}

The relevent line here from this fragment out of a logon action that I wrote is the 
"forward.setRedirect(true)" line. Now, I'm sure that in version 1.1 there is another 
way to do that, I seem to recall that there is an extra attribute that you can set 
somewhere in the struts-config.xml, but this is how I did it under version 1.0.

However you do it, make certain that when you set/change/remove a cookie, that you go 
back to the browser before you go anywhere else.

RE: Struts and cookies

2002-06-06 Thread Cutrell, George



When creating a cookie without setting its path, the path defaults to the
path of the request, e.g., /myapp/ActionA.  The browser will not send the
cookie back for subsequent request for anything other than /myapp/ActionA.
Set the cookie path via cookie.setPath() to something that will allow the
browser to send the cookie back on subsequent requests - either to something
like cookie.setPath("/") or cookie.setPath("/myapp").

Regards,
George.

Hi all,
   I am hoping that this is an easy question.  I have ActionA, jspA and
ActionB.  In ActionA I add a cookie to the response passed into the
perform() method.

 Cookie cookie1 = new Cookie( "SGI", "autodev01" );
 response.addCookie( cookie1 );

  Then I exit ActionA with the following command

 return( mapping.findForward( fwd ) ); 

I am then forwarded to jspA where I enter some search criteria and press the
submit button which forwards to ActionB.  In ActionB I use some displays to
show the contents of the request passed into the perform() method 

  System.out.println( "OUTPUTTING HEADERS: " );
Enumeration enum = request.getHeaderNames();
while ( enum.hasMoreElements() ) {
   String k = (String) enum.nextElement();
   Object v = request.getHeader( k );
   System.out.println( "Key: " + k + "  Value: " + v.toString() );
} // end of while

 Cookie sgiCookie[] = request.getCookies();
 System.out.println( "OUTPUTTING COOKIES: " );
 int w = 0;
 while( w < sgiCookie.length ){
System.out.println( "Cookie number " + w );
System.out.println( "Cookie name: " + sgiCookie[w].getName() );
System.out.println( "Cookie value: " + sgiCookie[w].getValue() );
System.out.println( "---" );
w++;
 }

but the cookie I added is not there.  The only cookie still there is the
jsessionid cookie.  I am using Silverstream 3.7.3 app server.

Does anyone know why my cookie is dissappearing?  or am I somehow not adding
it in the right place?

Struts and cookies

2002-06-06 Thread Brian Holzer


Hi all,
   I am hoping that this is an easy question.  I have ActionA, jspA and ActionB.  In 
ActionA I add a cookie to the response passed into the perform() method.

 Cookie cookie1 = new Cookie( "SGI", "autodev01" );
 response.addCookie( cookie1 );

  Then I exit ActionA with the following command

 return( mapping.findForward( fwd ) ); 

I am then forwarded to jspA where I enter some search criteria and press the submit 
button which forwards to ActionB.  In ActionB I use some displays to show the contents 
of the request passed into the perform() method 

  System.out.println( "OUTPUTTING HEADERS: " );
Enumeration enum = request.getHeaderNames();
while ( enum.hasMoreElements() ) {
   String k = (String) enum.nextElement();
   Object v = request.getHeader( k );
   System.out.println( "Key: " + k + "  Value: " + v.toString() );
} // end of while

 Cookie sgiCookie[] = request.getCookies();
 System.out.println( "OUTPUTTING COOKIES: " );
 int w = 0;
 while( w < sgiCookie.length ){
System.out.println( "Cookie number " + w );
System.out.println( "Cookie name: " + sgiCookie[w].getName() );
System.out.println( "Cookie value: " + sgiCookie[w].getValue() );
System.out.println( "---" );
w++;
 }

but the cookie I added is not there.  The only cookie still there is the jsessionid 
cookie.  I am using Silverstream 3.7.3 app server.

Does anyone know why my cookie is dissappearing?  or am I somehow not adding it in the 
right place? 

Thanks

LOLI knowI dreaming..but one day mind you...;)

I cannot tell you how many hours of my life have been wasted coding the same
SH#T over and over again in ASP and COM.  From 1997 to 2000ish I thought I
was the ASP/COM KING!  No doubt this was also at the height on the .bomb
era (I mean .com)

Then I started learning this cool thing called Java Web Application
Development with Struts (I believe thats also a book title somewhere right
Ted??? ;)

I remember (this happened a few times) picking up the phone and ordering
dinner for a few other developers and myself from Dominoes.  We were working
on a getting a nice new enhancement out the door by that week.  Only one
problem, Dominoes had closed for the night, it was 3 AM!!!

Sometime early last year, I sat down and rewrote an application that I had
done for a client (originally in ASP).  I duplicated the functionality, but
wrote it in Java (w/Struts no doubt).

   ASP  Struts
Lines of code 1257   148
*includes html, css, but not comments

Features that were not in the ASP version:
*logging
*connection pooling

That was with a pre 1.0 version when I was still working with Chuck at
NetVendor.  Im sure it could have been fewer lines, but I was new to this
whole Struts business thing :-)
This doesnt even show the time savings by using tiles and the validator.
Anyway, this is only one of several reasons why I put on my signature line
Struts Evangelist.


Anyway, I hope to complete my wish list be the end of the week.  If anyone
cares to add to the list, Ill add a section on there for you.

Im not sure how this (wishes/plans) all correlates to what the other
developers/committers are doing with proposals and such.  One thing Ive
noticed is that the pages on the struts site are not consistent as far as
layout and links.

Anyone else notice this too???

I had planned to re-write the struts-example that ships with the binary and

I hate doing doing duplicate work (thats why Im here) so if anyone else
(Ted, Vic, James, anyone) is going to do this, please tell me so I can focus
on something else.

Ted, Vic, and Bryan are you doing anything with the struts site on
sourceforge?
I had been looking around last month for a place to post samples and docs,
then I found your site.  I left a msg in public forums, but theres no
activity.  Would care to add me as a member/developer?  Id like to offer my
web hosting services to any of your projects.  Its a DSL with static IP.
Not the most robust bandwidth I know, but hey, its free!!!  Well, I have to
pay for the line, but thats minimal compared to what I get in return.

RE: Back button skip a page?

2002-06-06 Thread Bartley, Chris P


Check out the javascript method "location.replace()"...i think that'll do
exactly whatcha want.

If i remember/understand correctly, i think your wait page could do a


location.replace("results.htm");


So, then, on results.htm, clicking the back button should indeed go to the
form page since the wait page was never added to the history.

Re: form validation

2002-06-06 Thread Noah Levitt


I'm nearly certain that the order is not guaranteed. 

You may want to use the "indexed" attribute of html: form
fields. 
http://husted.com/struts/resources/indexed-tags.htm

Here's a message I sent earlier today on the subject:
http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg32975.html
You'll want to use String[] instead of Vector, of course.

Back button skip a page?

2002-06-06 Thread mtstruts

Jerome, 

This may have only limited usefulness, but you may be able use the document's history 
object to skip the "wait" page in the browser's history.
Something like: (Javascript)
  window.history.go(-2)
but I'm not exactly sure how to detect the event that the user clicks the back button.

Re: Back button skip a page?

2002-06-06 Thread Roy Truelove


Maybe in your "show results" action, a session variable can be set that the
person saw the results.  Then if they go to the "Request is being processed"
page, the page can check to see the the results were seen, and if yes,
automatically redirect to the results page.  You'll probably have to make
sure that the "Request is being processed" page is not cached.. set the
cache-control header to "no-cache".

Hope this helps,
Roy

I have a property in the form bean which is a String[].  I have several text input

each of the text areas to be initialized to a particular index of this property.

My JSP tags look like this: (where foo is the String[] property)



Should work right? But my text fields are initiated with ->

Seems like it's displaying the pointer instead of the value...which is initially a

Struts PowerPoint presentation

Hi,

I will teach JSP for a group of ASP developers next week. Nice challenge
;-) I have the Java and JSP material ready to go, but I would like to
introduce MVC as good way of building (web) applications. And what could
be better than to use Struts as a reference for the architecture.

Preparing and compiling training material is tedious, and that's why I
post here. Has anyone on the list compiled a PowerPoint on Struts?
Covering the basics, including some basics about coding and
configuration of Struts? And who wants to share the work?

RE: [Struts Tips] #2 - Template Method Dispatch Action?

2002-06-06 Thread Robert Taylor


So if I had an Action that handled the following operations on an
account:

-createAccount
-retrieveAccount
-updateAccount
-deleteAccount

instead of having these 4 methods defined, in a single action class, you
would define a business bean in the action mapping and something similar to
the following operations would take place in sequence when the Action
was invoked.

-The Action class accesses business bean (creates or retrieves).
-The Action class converts (directly or indirectly) user input into
expected business input arguments .
-The Action class invokes business bean hotspot method with business
arguments.
-The business bean processes input and performs the appropriate command
logic.
-The business bean returns a business bean return object.
-The Action class processes the business bean return object to determine
the ActionForward.
-The Action class returns ActionForward to the web controller.

So you might end up having business beans/delegates like
CreateAccountCommand, RetrieveAccountCommand, UpdateAccountCommand, and
DeleteAccountCommand, instead of separate Action classes or a single
Action class with the four methods. Each of the four business beans
might then delegate to a common business service called something like
IAccountService to handle or delegate processing.

Did I interpret that correctly?

Yes, you're absolutely right.  The business bean approach is less connected
to the web tier, for better or worse, and does not have to be a Singleton
(didn't think of that one).   The framework approach is closer to the web
tier.  The two approaches are similar in some respects, but different in

I guess what I really meant is that they are not mutually exclusive.  If the
common logic can be cleanly separated from the web tier, then the business
bean approach makes more sense, as it's more reusable.  If the logic is tied
to the web tier, then framework approach makes more sense as it's more
convenient to access the web tier.  One could use both approaches in the
same app, on a case by case basis.

One question:  Do your business beans typically implement the business logic
directly, or do they forward to another existing businesses tier (EJB's,
whatever)?  If they forward, then they're kind of like business delegates.
This is the situation I was thinking of when I said the framework and
business bean approaches seemed similar.  The business delegate layer might
be somewhat reusable outside a web app, but the real reusable logic would be
in the true business backend that the business delegate forwards to.  In
this case, it might partially be a style issue which to use.  Putting the
mapping and delegating to the business backend logic in separate business
delegate ('business bean') classes would be a bit more reusable, and more
configurable, but would add another layer.  Putting this logic in framework
actions might be a tad more convenient, but slightly less reusable.  

This business bean approach sounds really interesting.  It sounds like a
business bean is a business tier version of an Action.   It has a known
input type, similar to ActionForm, a known return type, similar to
ActionForward, and a known signature, similar to Action.perform.  One could
introduce a business tier version of the ActionServlet controller, that
could call business logic validation methods on the input object, manage
transactions, etc.  In other words, apply the command and controller
patterns to the business tier.  Cool!

I would say that the consequences of the business bean approach include

+ the beans can be reused outside of a web application
+ a bean can be instantiated for every request or could be designed as a
singleton
+ access to web-tier resources is indirect at best
+ business-beans can nest other business beans

Consequences of the framework approach include 

+ the framework Action is bound to Struts
+ the framework Action is always a singleton, instantiated once for the
life of the application, and must be thread-safe
+ the framework Action has direct access to web-tier resources
+ forwarding or including other Actions involves outside agents, like
Struts and the container, which may introduce their own behaviours

Others?

image buttons and dispatching events

2002-06-06 Thread Robert Taylor


I want to be able to processes similar events with a single Action class. I
know the Struts framework provides both DispatchAction and
LookupDispatchAction. All my events where method=post are invoked with an
input element of type image. The request parameters for such an element are
name.x and name.y with their corresponding values being the respective
coordinates of the image where it was clicked. If I weren't using image
buttons but rather submit buttons, then the LookupDispatchAction is what I
would need. But since I'm using image buttons and not submit buttons,
neither DispatchAction can handle dispatching to the appropriate
handler. ( Correct me if I'm missing something obvious here)

The logical premise in both DispatchAction and LookupDispatchAction  is a
known request parameter which will contain a value which is either the
explicite method to invoke or is the key to the explicite method to invoke.
Since image buttons parameter values are just x-y coordinates, then they
provide no such information.

A client-side solution would be to use Javascript, to set a particular value
when the image is clicked.

A server-side solution would be to provide a comma delimited list of
possible user gestures (ie. cancel, save, delete) in the parameter attribute
of the action element. A subclass of DispatchAction, call it
ImageButtonDispatchAction, captures and parses those values, and then looks
for the first one that appears as a request parameter name + ".x" . If
found, it invokes the approapriate method.





Is there a more elegant solution for this?

RE: mapping

2002-06-06 Thread Joseph Barefoot


I have 2 or 3 ways:

The first is to place a boolean value into the request/session from your
summary Action and check for it in your JSP, something like
cameFromSummaryPage="true".  Or you can put a request type variable in the
request/session to check instead, something like requestType="Summary" or
requestType="init", you know?

If you're looking for something more generic to be used with all your JSPs,
you could add a hidden field to every form which contains the page name or a
logical identifier for the page.  Every ActionForm would have a field to
contain this value.  So, you have a hidden field with these pairs:
name="pageName" value="mySummaryPage.jsp".  Then you just have a field (with
getter/setter) named "pageName" in every ActionForm as well, and voila,
every ActionForm now knows what page it was invoked from.  You can easily
check these values from your JSP and take action accordingly.

Of course, you can get the URI for the last request from the ActionMapping
and store that in the form bean, too, and use it as the identifier for your
JSPs.  It's up to you.

happy coding,

Joe

SQL STatements in a Properties file.

Hi,
A newbie question...
I want to dynamically pickup SQL queries from a Properties file (Similar to
how we use the bean : Message  and the ApplicationResourceProperties FIle

Does the framework have an implementation exclusively for this or should I

The first page is a data entry one. Once you put the fields you click

If I click "edit" button, I have to come back to the first page with the

You can pass some identifying information along with the request.  If you are coming 
from outside of the application (first case) you won't have this in the request, 
otherwise you will.

Hi There,

Can someone tell me the best way to know which page I am coming from?. I
have a clue using mapping object in the action class. This is the scenario :
The first page is a data entry one. Once you put the fields you click
continue and go to the summary one that will ask to confirm the values just
entered. This second page has two buttons "edit" and "continue".

If I click "edit" button, I have to come back to the first page with the
values I entered before in the fields. The question is : The first page gets
invoked from two different pagesthe previous one (that invokes it the
first time) and from the summary one. I need to know which page invoked it.

html -- img, link, map and parameters question with Struts

Hello,

I used Struts one year back for an application and didn't have a chance 
to use it again till now.

My question is how do I put the following code in struts format and get 
to the action class.


 
   
   

The link is supposed to take to an Action class with a key=value pair --

Dynamic Criteria

2002-06-06 Thread Olikkadavath, Bobby


Hi,
We are in the process of converting a NetDynamics application into J2EE with
the Struts Framework.
The NetDynamics has a CSPSelect which can be used to add Dynamic Criteria.
As the criteria's are added it is stored into a properties file. It is also
appended to a StringBuffer.
The final SQL during execute will pickup all the criteria info and compose a
Query.

What can be the J2EE/Struts mapping for such an Object.

Re: form validation

2002-06-06 Thread mtstruts


Okay Strutters, 

I'm trying to solve the problem of losing my form data if the validate() function 
finds an error.  I have seen in this list that people have suggested having:

A) 2 actions each with it's own action mapping, one called before the form is rendered 
on the JSP (instantiating the corresponding form bean) and action for after the form 
is submitted.

B) 1 action with 2 action mappings (???) - How does the app know which action mapping 
to use?  Am I passing a parameter?

So I have tried the first solution, but I'm getting an error on the JSP which says 
that my form bean is not in scope.  My action mappings are as follows:











Is it something obvious?  How would I implement option 2?

Thanks in advance
-
Two ActionMappings, one with validate=false and the other with
validate=true. 

One Action class should be sufficient, though.

Are there any plans to make the Struts MessageResources, in the utility 
package, part of Jakarta Commons?  I find myself using this feature in 
areas other than servlet development.  I also see a need to use it in 
applets so that the JSPs and applets use the same ApplicationResources.  
No luck with the applets due to security, but stand-alone GUI 
applications seem to work with it fine.  What are your thoughts about 
this?

Re: Collection and form bean

2002-06-06 Thread Ted Husted

You probably want there to be a collection of beans, and a helper method
on the bean that returns a blank instead of 0. Then all the JSP has to
do is call the helper, without having to know anything about the blank
or 0 requirement. 

In a case like this, whether the bean object itself was born in a model
package or controller package isn't pertinent. The page is only bound to
the property name, not the object. You could switch the bean object at
any time, and so long as the property name stayed the same, the page
would be none the wiser.

Struts Forms, ConvertUtils and Validation - need design advice

2002-06-06 Thread Peter Onthrops



I have a form that has one attribute - an instance of a value object. The object has 
multiple attributes that make up the form elements. These attributes are not all 
Strings and therefore ConvertUtils converts them to Strings for display on the jsp. 
When posting the html form, ConvertUtils attempts to convert the input Strings back to 
the proper object Types. If the input string is not in the .toString() format of the 
object, then an conversion exception is thrown. 

Does this mean that I would need to have all input attributes of type String? That is, 
unless I modify ConvertUtils to accept multiple string formats for my objects. What is 
the standard practice for creating form attributes that are not Strings (i.e. 
Timestamp), populating them, and validating them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it 
seems that the validator assumes a String attribute for validation.

Thanks in advance,

P.

object in the action class. This is the scenario : The first page is a data 
entry one. Once you put the fields you click continue and go to the summary one 
that will ask to confirm the values just entered. This second page has two 
buttons "edit" and "continue".
 
If I click "edit" 
button, I have to come back to the first page with the values I entered 
before in the fields. The question is : The first page gets invoked from 
two different pagesthe previous one (that invokes it the first time) and 
from the summary one. I need to know which page invoked it. Any ideas?

Yep, that may be the approach I take although it circumvents the front

configuratin, and, in event that the assertion fails, navigation logic. It
would be nice to have this all reside within the front controller and
configurable via one source (the struts-config file).

RE: Need Advice using templates with Struts

2002-06-06 Thread Frost, Howard




Found the solution:

   
   




My HTML pages are made up of small rectangles of data which get reused
around the web site.  Each rectangle is painted from a bean.  Ideally, there
would be a paint action associated with each rectangle which populates this
bean and forwards to the jsp page for rendering the rectangle.  So far so
good.

To compose a given page, I would like to use  and/or struts
templating tags.  The 'page' for the include however need to be the paint
action rather than the jsp page so the bean is available.  But this
generates an IllegalStateException (in Tomcat4.0).  I do not want the action
for the top level page to be responsible for filling all the beans for all
the composite rectangles.  These rectangles are nested and cna change over
time.  Any suggestions?

This renders FolioViewFrag.jsp but the bean does not get populated:

 
  ...
 


This fails with IllegalStateException:

 
  ...
   


Tomcat exception:

 java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot forward after response has been
committed

Re: parametred name fields

2002-06-06 Thread Noah Levitt


Hello,

If I understand your question correctly, it is possible. You
need to use struts 1.1. In your ActionForm, you must have a
field that is a collection of some sort. E.g.

private Vector names;
public Vector getNames() { return names; }
// IIRC you don't you need a setter, could be wrong

The elements of "names" should be beans that have member
functions getName(), setName(String), getSurname(), and
setSurname(String).

Then, in your jsp, do this:


 
  Surname:
  
 
 
  Name:
  
 



Be sure to initialize "names" in your ActionForm's constructor
names = new Vector()
or you will get a null pointer exception.

You may also want to fill "names" with one or more empty
name beans so that you have some blank fields on your form
to start out with.

HTH
Noah

Re: I should know this, but....

2002-06-06 Thread Arron Bates

First off, no need for the name attribute. If it's not working off the 
same bean structure the other nested tags are, then use the original 
 tag using the name attribute to get to the separate bean.

Otherwise from face value the tag markup looks fine... you may want to 
vary the name of the property to the id for clarity however.

Another point which may save you having issues, is that you can use the 
"property" property like a directory structure with relative and 
absolute references...

Check this out for more informative info...

The "The relative references and the "property" property" part...

http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/api/org/apache/struts/taglib/nested/package-summary.html#doc.PropertyProperty

...with that you can just use the  tag where you need it, 
and use the absolute reference from the root of the bean to get to the 
right spot.

Hope any of this helps in some way.

Arron.

RE: Multiple pararmeters from multiple links

While I don't have an answer to your question, I have an alternative.

An alternate strategy would be to include a getParameters() method in the object you 
are iterating over.  This method should have access to the current values of the id, 
firstName and lastName.  It would return a Map containing the necessary parameters.  
Your  would then be:




Hope this helped.

I have a JSP which displays multiple rows of data. Each row starts with a

be passed the first three column values as parameters, like so:

/do/NameSearch/Details?id=123456?lastName=Smythe?firstName=Jon

However, when I compile this I get the following message:

How do I get the parms reference inside my iterate loop to resove?

RE: Assertions

2002-06-06 Thread Robert Taylor


Yep, that may be the approach I take although it circumvents the front
controller. Not necessarily a bad thing. It just disperses business logic,
configuratin, and, in event that the assertion fails, navigation logic. It
would be nice to have this all reside within the front controller and
configurable via one source (the struts-config file).

I would say that the consequences of the business bean approach include

+ the beans can be reused outside of a web application
+ a bean can be instantiated for every request or could be designed as a
singleton
+ access to web-tier resources is indirect at best
+ business-beans can nest other business beans


Consequences of the framework approach include 

+ the framework Action is bound to Struts
+ the framework Action is always a singleton, instantiated once for the
life of the application, and must be thread-safe
+ the framework Action has direct access to web-tier resources
+ forwarding or including other Actions involves outside agents, like
Struts and the container, which may introduce their own behaviours

Others?

I do a lot of flash work so although I haven't used it with struts I 
think I have an idea of how this would be approached. Basically you are 
going to want to replace the JSP views with Flash views. This means you 
will lose the taglibs that are for specifically handling html forms 
because you are now using flash form elements which are slightly 
different. On the other hand, Flash gives you more programming control 
so you can do the validation in place.

For those who don't do much Flash work, a Flash can load other flash 
movies so rather than continually loading new html pages that contain a 
new flash movie you would be loading in new sub-movies. I think you 
would want it to work something like this:

Flash form -> Struts FormBean -> Action -> return new Flash sub movie 
with response

So the only part that is new is the response is a new dynamically 
created flash movie loaded into the container flash movie instead of new 
jsp loaded into the browser.

There is an open source project called jgenerator at www.flashgap.com. 
Though it has now been commercialized at www.jzox.com the original is 
under an apache style license. Usually used for online dynamic flash 
generation it can also act as API for a servlet to dynamically create 
flash movies.

The end result would be instead of a form getting an html response you 
would use the Flash LoadMovie() command to load a swt (Flash Template) 
file. So you would have struts return the swt instead of a jsp. The swt 
then loads the servlet/jsp/whatever-creates-a-data-text-file to get the 
data it needs.

I am sick and tired of reading about flash and struts so i decide to do some

Looking at macromedia i found this about flash mx:
Develop Macromedia Flash services using Macromedia ColdFusion MX,

Java and Microsoft .Net. Macromedia Flash MX applications can easily

invoke logic and get data from services built and deployed on Macromedia

ColdFusion MX Server. Macromedia Flash can also use services built with

standard Java Servlets, Java Classes, EJBs, and Microsoft's .NET

components.

Take a look at the config file DTD for info on how to
configure  elements in the config file. 
The Struts Console software also makes easy work of
doing this:

Assertions

2002-06-06 Thread Robert Taylor


I'm using Struts 1.0, and have a process with a set of related event
handlers which I have grouped into a single DispatchAction class. Each
event has a set of assertions (some similar, some different) which must pass
before any (even form validation) processing occurs.

I have basically broken down the assertions into 3 categories:

1. Assertions that are common to all events.
2. Assertions that are common to a set of related events.
3. Assertions that are specific to an event.

Assertions that fall under the first category can be checked at
processPreprocess() level or using some Filter and circumvents any
processing if it fails.

Assertions that fall under the last two categories cannot be handled before
anything else related to the event gets processed. That is, assertions that
fall under category 2 would usually be handled by some SuperAction template
method, but the ActionForm is processed before the SuperAction gets
processed. And assertions that fall under category 3 could be handled at the
Action level, but is post ActionForm processing as well.

I guess, one way to handle this using standard Struts components, would be
to use Action chaining. Certain Action classes could act as wrappers around
an assertion or a group of assertions. The action mapping would
not define a form and would merely forward to the target handler or another
assertion upon successful processing. If the assertion failed, then it would
forward to the appropriate location.

I can see where this could potentially create quite a complex action mapping
definition in the struts-config file for a set of related events.

For example, creating a user account where assertions 1 and 2 must pass
before processing the request.


   
   



   
   



   
   



A potential problem here is the /do/user/account/create action could be
invoked directly, circumventing
the assertions.



Is it too convoluted to think that it might be nice to have something like
the following:


   
   
   
   



In this configuration, the assertions would be processed in order they
appear in the action element, and iff they all pass, then other processing
would proceed. The path attribute in each assertion element defines the url
to forward/redirect to if the assertion fails.

The assertion checks would either come after processing the mapping in
ActionServlet for Struts 1.0.x or
after role checking in the RequestProcessor in Struts 1.1x, in either case,
directly before processing the form.

I have been looking at the LivingLogic's Workflow Extension which contains
an authentication mechanism, but it doesn't appear to offer the forwarding
granularity that I need and I'm forced to extend their Action class.

My ultimate goal here is to have reusable assertions, be able to
declaratively define them and their order, and to isolate business
processing from assertions.


Is there a more elegant solution for this?
