how to get connection from my normal servlet

[Vikramjit Singh]

good day to all,

I am trying to use struts in my application. I have my own connection
pooling, in which one servlet is loaded on start-up. I put the connection in
the ServletContext, and from the servlet i get the connection. 
Thats the old way.

Now with struts, am sending the form parameters to the ActionServlet which
is taking the values from the ActionServlet, but how do i get the connection
for the database?. I have been going through some examples related to struts
and database, seems like i have to used DataSourceName. Is that the only
option, cant i use the traditional way of getting the connection and
inserting into the database.

Thanking in advance.

Craig, could you clarify, what doea "standard action" mean here? As I 
know, latest Struts release 1.1 B1 doesn't contain this class, so it's 
only available from CVS. Also, where can I see some real examples of 
struts-config.xml with sub-applications?

I was hoping there was a way I did not have to write (1) a java class, and
(2) any XML to define it. Guess not.  I'm aware of how to use the
DynaActionForm, I'm using it right now, but if I have to define every
DynaForm in struts-config.xml, this file will become very large - quickly.

I prefer create an Action class with:

response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename=myfile.xls");
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");

Then write out standard html tables.  Excel will format them.  Formatting
support varies between versions starting at:

Excel 97 - basic table layout, no real coloring.

to
Excel XP - Even CSS formatting support for fonts and colors.

But even in Excel 97. I still find it a lot more workable than straight
csv.  If you need to support Excel 95, you'll need to use csv instead.

There's an example of this in Expresso called ExcelViewHandler:
com.jcorporate.expresso.core.servlet.viewhandler.ExcelViewHandler

HTH!

Re: Are there any Java Graphics gurus out there?

[Arron Bates]

I don't mean to sound harsh, but if your post starts off with 
"Wy off topic"... then it really shouldn't be posted.

A page on the Sun site about handling images of all kinds, and there's a 
code sample for TIFF...

http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/iio.html

It will get you to an Image object, and then from there you can pass it 
to the JPEGImageEncoder or whatever. As I said before (off the list), 
the information is already out there, you just have to go get it. I 
found this by searching "java reading tiff image files" on 
www.google.com and it was the third link down.

But I hope you get the solution you need. I already know that the answer 
wont be from this list...

Re: struts on weblogic 5.1.0 with SP6

[Tadashi Ishikawa]

There are three main problems I knew on WLS5.1sp6.

1. ClassLoader Problem
ApplicationResource.properties won't be found.

2. load-on-starup is ignored.

3. Classes used by JSP or Servlet must be loaded earlier.

So,You shoud follow steps described below.

(1)expand struts-example.war to directory Not in CLASSPATH.

(2)expand attached zip file?and copy WebAppStartup.class to directory 
which WLS can pick up.
(ex. /export/weblogic/classes)

(3)edit weblogic.properties to add following lines.(example)
weblogic.httpd.register.*.do=org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet
weblogic.httpd.webApp.struts-example=/export/home/weblogic/jakarta-struts/webapps/struts-example
# WebAppStartup for Struts
weblogic.system.startupClass.myStartup=WebAppStartup
weblogic.system.startupArgs.myStartup=\
webAppContext=struts-example

Hope this helps.

RE: Are there any Java Graphics gurus out there?

[Jerry Jalenak]

Michael,

Thanks for the reply. My problem is fairly basic, but I can't seem to figure
it out.  Here goes

>From my webapp I capture a 'control number' that I then pass over to an
image server through a socket connection (port 4177).  The image server then
responds with the number of images related to the control number along with
the file names.  This much work fine.  I then pass each file name back to
the image server through a different socket connection (port 4178).  The
image server responds with the file size, then streams the file back to me.
The file is a TIFF image.  What I am struggling with is how to capture this
TIFF image, and convert it to JPEG.  I've looked at the ImageIO classes, but
they don't natively support TIFF (yet).  I read someplace this morning that
you can register the JAI TIFF class for use with ImageIO, but can't figure
out how to do that.  JAI might be the answer, but again, I can't figure out
how to do a JAI.create where the source is a socket and not a file.

I know there's got to be an easier way to do this, but with my limited
background in Java (only been coding in this for a few months now), I am at
a total loss.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Jerry

StrutsValidator - error while compiling 1.1 beta 1

[otisg]

Hello,

I am trying to compile Struts 1.1 beta 1
from source using ant and I'm getting the
following error:

[javac]
/usr/local/src/java/jakarta-struts-1.1-b1-src/src/share/org/apache/struts/util/StrutsValidator.java:145:
exception
org.apache.regexp.RESyntaxException is never
thrown in body of corresponding try statement
[javac] } catch (RESyntaxException e) {


I found some old posts mentioning that this
is due to jakarta-regexp -> jakarta-oro
switch, so I made appropriate changes in
build.xml and build.properties, so now this
is what I have there:

# grep regexp build*
build.properties:regexp.jar=/usr/local/jakarta-oro/oro.jar
build.xml:  
build.xml:


This looks right to me, and it matches
changes that I got from CVS change log for
these files.

Yet, I get that error when compiling.
Do I need to make any other changes?
Jakarta-oro jar is before jakarta-regexp jar
in my CLASSPATH, too.

Thanks,
Otis

Re: Using java.util.Map in place of an ActionForm?

[Ted Husted]

In Struts 1.1b, you can use a Map to the host the properties of an
ActionForm. 

 private Map values = null;

 public void setValues(Map values) {
 this.values = values;
 }
 public Map getValues() {
 return this.values;
 }

 public void setValue(String key, Object value) {
 getValues().put(key,value);
 }
 public Object getValue(String key) {
 return getValues().get(key);
 }

 ... 

 


This will store whatever you throw at it, so only one is needed per
application, and no additional configuration is necessary. 

The downside is that a GUI tool designed to explore JavaBeans will not
see your properties (except as the contents of a Map property), and the
HTML forms need to be written using a different syntax than is used for
conventional ActionForms or DynaActionForms.

Re: Who's using Struts and license issue

[Kevin . Bedell]

To add to Ted's thoughts -

Struts is now going to be distributed directly with Tomcat (the servlet/jsp
reference implementation) as part of it management application. This
essentially guarantees it to be the most widely distributed web application
framework.

If you get a copy of "Crossing the Chasm" by Geoffrey Moore (
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0066620023/qid=1024436358/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/104-9680446-6979158

) and read it - it outlines the classic adoption patterns for new
technologies and new technology products. One of the critical stages he
identifies in the adoption of new technology is the point at which a market
leader is chosen by consumers.

Struts (and Java Frameworks as well) is absolutely following the path he
lays out and it is emerging as the market leader. In the next year or so
we'll see a number of fringe framework projects either falling off or
merging with each other and Struts will be the dominant framework - if not
the dominant approach to web application development within J2EE.

my 2 cents

Kevin

You just need to include the Apache License

http://apache.org/LICENSE

along with any of your own copyrights, disclaimers, or licensing
notices. Or, if you don't do any of that, in a file next to to the JARs.

What's going on, is that when you credit yourself, Apache wants to be
credited too.

Just saying that it is "Powered by Struts" really would not be
sufficient, though that is always a welcome touch.

Since Struts is open source, and people don't need to register to use
it, any advice about who is using it is going to be anecdotal.

Besides the many others you will see posted on the list, in the
Rochester area I happen to know its being used by firms like Xerox,
Kodak, and Paychex. AFAIK, these are all intranet applications, like the
one you anticipate

I very much doubt that there is another framework with better market
penetration that Struts. (Or that will have more books about it ship
sometime this year =:0)

Something to mention to the suits is that our esteemed leader, Craig
McClanahan, was not only the primary architect of Tomcat 4 and the
implementation architect of the Java Web Services Developer Pack, but he
is now Sun's specification lead for JavaServer Faces (JSR-127) as well
as the Web Layer Architect for the J2EE platform.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm pretty comfortable with having
Craig on my development team =;O)

RE: Using java.util.Map in place of an ActionForm?

[Bhattad, Nilesh]

I looked at DynaActionForm. In order to use DynaActionForm, I'll have to
specify all form field properties in struts-config.xml
So it'll look something like this...


















In my application, HTML field names are coming dynamically. As I don't have
HTML field names at design time, I cannot use Struts proposed
DynaActionForm. It needs to mention all form attributes in
struts-config.xml. 

Instead my struts-config.xml looks something like..














So, my Action class and Form class are common for all the JSP pages.

Try using the standard action SwitchAction
(org.apache.struts.actions.SwitchAction) for switching from one sub-app to
another.  Simply forwarding to a JSP page in the new subapp will not work,
because tags on that page still behave as if you are in the old subapp.

One more detail is useful ... local forward definitions override any
global definition for the same forward name.  Thus, you can set up
situations where, say, the "Main Menu" forward goes to page /mainmenu.jsp
for every action except some specific one where you want to do something
else - just define a "Main Menu" global forward for the usual case, and a
local "Main Menu" forward for the particular action that needs different
behavior.

Re: Who's using Struts and license issue

[Ted Husted]

You just need to include the Apache License 

http://apache.org/LICENSE

along with any of your own copyrights, disclaimers, or licensing
notices. Or, if you don't do any of that, in a file next to to the JARs.

What's going on, is that when you credit yourself, Apache wants to be
credited too. 

Just saying that it is "Powered by Struts" really would not be
sufficient, though that is always a welcome touch. 

Since Struts is open source, and people don't need to register to use
it, any advice about who is using it is going to be anecdotal.

Besides the many others you will see posted on the list, in the
Rochester area I happen to know its being used by firms like Xerox,
Kodak, and Paychex. AFAIK, these are all intranet applications, like the
one you anticipate

I very much doubt that there is another framework with better market
penetration that Struts. (Or that will have more books about it ship
sometime this year =:0)

Does the Struts license allow putting that sentence in

Re: Who's using Struts and license issue

[Kevin . Bedell]

The License issue you're describing only applies if you are redistributing
the software - that is if you distribute the software to some other entity
and THEY install it. If this is the case, any docs (or the code you give
them) must include an acknowledgement.

 *
 * 3. The end-user documentation included with the redistribution, if
 *any, must include the following acknowlegement:
 *   "This product includes software developed by the
 *Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/)."
 *Alternately, this acknowlegement may appear in the software itself,
 *if and wherever such third-party acknowlegements normally appear.
 *

Note the phrase "included with the redistribution".


Of the 5 clauses in the license
, the first three have to do with redistributing the code and the last two
have to do with products you deliver that include the code.

If you're using the software on your site, then no acknowledgements are
required - though it would be nice...

This is the standard apache license. It's the same as the one used for the
web server - and the 50%+ sites on the Internet that use the Apache web
server don't all have acknowledgements...

RE: detecting ActionErrors in a jsp page

[mtstruts]

Hi Jim, 

I'm not sure exactly what you want to do but here are a couple of suggestions:

1) If you want to display the actual error on the JSP page, use the  
tag.  This tag is explained in the Struts UserGuide:

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

2) If you want to know if an error occured, you could get the errors ArrayList from 
the session in the JSP and test using empty() method whether there are any errors 
(returns boolean). See the JavaDocs:

http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/doc-1.0.2/api/index.html

Good luck!

RE: Passing a parameter into an action from the action mapping?

[wbchmura]

No, I was using the struts-console source window...

The easiest way I have found to view it has been (dare I say) using 
Internet Explorer...

If so, or you just want a quick way to view it (outside of the Console), 
use
Textpad.
http://www.textpad.com

It's a serious text editor with everything from 'go to' line and/or 
column,
macros for re-use of common tasks, search and replace using regular
expressions [based on POSIX standard P1003.2, but the syntax can be that 
of
POSIX, or UNIX extended regular expressions (the default)], block text
selection and SORTING!!!

I usually associate .xml so that I get syntax highlighting.
It's not an IDE, but it has limited support for running javac with 'jump 
to'
for compile errors.

RE: Single ActionServlet, ActionForm, Action across entire applic atio n... is it ok ?

[Bhattad, Nilesh]

Sorry for confusion.  I specified to have single Form object across the
application. Actually I meant to say that I want to write a single
ActionForm class which is reusable across the application. Though each JSP
page will have its own INSTANCE of Form object with a HashMap populated with
all parameters contained in that JSP page. 

This approach speeds up the development process as I don't have to write
separate ActionForm per page. Also my struts-config.xml have very few
entries. 

But is there any disadvantage of having a single ActionForm class common to
all the pages?

Thank for your help Keith.

I want to keep Form object within "request" scope only.  But instead of
defining separate ActionForm class per JSP page with getters and setters, I
prefer to have a single class which has a HashMap in it.
Each JSP page will have different instance of this DynaForm object.

Hi,
If you want to use the same form-bean for several input forms, can't you
just change the scope of the mapped actions to "session" or possibly
"application"?  I"m not sure what your needs are, but that's all I do.

Subject: Single ActionServlet, ActionForm, Action across entire
applicatio n... is it ok ?


Hello 

Recently I started working on Struts. I'm using Struts 1.0.2 version. 
Struts framework recommends to create separate ActionForm and Action object
for each JSP page.
Instead, I created a single Form object DynaForm which has a HashMap in it.
And I'm using this form object for all the JSP pages in my application. I
downloaded the Struts source. And added following lines of code in 
org.apache.struts.util.PropertyUtils::getSimpleProperty() method


if(bean instanceof DynaForm)
{
try
{
return ((DynaForm)bean).getObject(name);
}catch(Exception e)
{
log.debug(e.getMessage());
return null;
}
}

Also I have an XML file which defines the application flow




index
home


home
account




All nextpage node values are defined in struts-config.xml in
 section. So based on this XML, I decide the application
flow from my Action object. 
I have a single Action object called as ActionHandler which is common across
the entire application.

Each JSP page is assigned to a separate Request Object which does the
business logic specific to that page. Another XML is defined for the mapping
of JSP page and Request object. Based on this XML, ActionHandler executes
exact Request object.

Now my doubts are..

1. First of all, is it advisable to change the Struts code for any reason?
In order to have a single Form object across the entire application, I did
not find any option other than changing Struts code. Is there any better way
of doing this?

2. I'm using Action object as a controller. The job of ActionHandler is to
do some generic stuff like session check, basic form validation and then
calling corresponding Request object. Is it advisable to have a single
Action object across the application? 

Please let me know your ideas on this. Thanks in advance !!


Njoy..

Re: Select Tag

[Scott Carlson]

Sesha,
   I have this code in my jsp. Notice the multiple attribute.

Select Type



In my form bean, the property is an array of Strings.
private String accountType[];
public void setAccountType(String parm[]) { accountType = parm; }
public String[] getAccountType() { return accountType; }

RE: Passing a parameter into an action from the action mapping?

[wbchmura]

Already there...

The only thing that I would love to see in struts console is if I view 
source having it on more than one line...  In my development environment 
(windows) there is no line feeds or anything

The parameter that Joe is talking about is for the
 tag in your struts-config.xml.

Take a look at the Struts Console.  It makes setting
all this stuff a breeeze.

Doh!

RE: Installing of Struts on WSAD and also on Websphere App Server 4.02

[Soomar, Muki (R.)]

Here are the steps to start developing with WSAD.

1. Importing the struts-example.

   1.1 Creat a new WEB project using the web application view and
  the web project wizard. While in the wizard you can select your
  project name and the EAR name

  Skip the next screen on the wizard and go to the screen where
  you define the Java Build Settings. Accept the defaults here - 
   the source folder where all your source files will be kept and
  the classes where all your compiled source will be put. Click
  on the libraries tab on this screen. Using the "Add external
 Jars" button, browse to the directory where you have the 
"struts.jar" file is located and select that.

  Click on "Finish" when your project structure would have been
  created for  you.

1.2 Select the new project created in your navigator and then
   Go to File->import and select the "WAR file" option and select
   NEXT. Browse to the location  where you have the 
   downloaded stuts-example.war file and select it. 
   If by any chance, your project  is not automatically filled up,
   select the newly created project to import this file into. 
   Select the option "Overwrite existing resources
   without warning" as this is the first time. This will 
   overwrite your web.xml, .classpaths and other 
   things based on the example war file. 
   Hit FINISH and the war file will be imported
   into your project. You are ready to go now...

   2. Creating the TOMCAT server instance and configuration for testing. 
   You need to have TOMCAT installed before moving forward.

 2.1 Select the Server view and create a new server project.

 2.2 In the Server Configuration window, right click the "Server
   Instances" node and select  new -> server instance 
   and confguration.

   A configuration wizard will pop up. Fill in the server name
  as anything you want it to be refered by.

  For the server instance type, select the Apache Tomcat 3.2
  local server (if using tomcat 3.2)  or Tomcat v4.0 
  Local Server (if using 4.0)

  Click next. Here you will have to select the Tomcat 
  Server instance by locating   the directory where you 
  installed tomcat. Hit the FINISH button.

 2.3  In your Server Configuration window, you will see the newly
created server instance under both the instances 
and the configurations nodes. Right click
the Tomcat Server sub-node under the Server 
   Configurations node and select
the project you just created. This will register 
the project with the server.

 2.4 On the servers window next to the server configuration 
window, you can start the server by clicking 
on the start icon.

  2.5 Open a web browser by clicking on the web 
browser icon at the top. Type in 
http://localhost:8080/struts-example/index.jsp


Hope this helps. I spent considerable amount of time figuring this out so
thought would help other people doing the same thing.

Good luck..

Hi,
I'm using struts on WSAD.  I didn't download the struts package myself, but
I believe the download includes a few war files.  You can go to "File" and
select "Import" and choose "WAR file".  Import the struts-blank.war if you
want to create a new application with the struts framework.  Import the
other ones if you want to look through the projects to pick them apart and
see how they work.  Is this helpful at all?

Passing a parameter into an action from the action mapping?

[wbchmura]

I thought I saw a solution for this somewhere but I cannot find it...

I have the following set up...

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


All of my calls to Search are the same, just with a different duration.  
I was looking at dispatch, but these are all from links so I would need 
to do /search.do?dur=1week

Is there a way in the action mapping to say when they go to /search1w.do 
it forwards them into the same action with some sort of parameter?

Or is it just a dumb ass idea and should I just do the dispatch?

RE: Single ActionServlet, ActionForm, Action across entire applic atio n... is it ok ?

[Bhattad, Nilesh]

I want to keep Form object within "request" scope only.  But instead of
defining separate ActionForm class per JSP page with getters and setters, I
prefer to have a single class which has a HashMap in it.
Each JSP page will have different instance of this DynaForm object.

Hi,
If you want to use the same form-bean for several input forms, can't you
just change the scope of the mapped actions to "session" or possibly
"application"?  I"m not sure what your needs are, but that's all I do.

Subject: Single ActionServlet, ActionForm, Action across entire
applicatio n... is it ok ?


Hello 

Recently I started working on Struts. I'm using Struts 1.0.2 version. 
Struts framework recommends to create separate ActionForm and Action object
for each JSP page.
Instead, I created a single Form object DynaForm which has a HashMap in it.
And I'm using this form object for all the JSP pages in my application. I
downloaded the Struts source. And added following lines of code in 
org.apache.struts.util.PropertyUtils::getSimpleProperty() method


if(bean instanceof DynaForm)
{
try
{
return ((DynaForm)bean).getObject(name);
}catch(Exception e)
{
log.debug(e.getMessage());
return null;
}
}

Also I have an XML file which defines the application flow




index
home


home
account




All nextpage node values are defined in struts-config.xml in
 section. So based on this XML, I decide the application
flow from my Action object. 
I have a single Action object called as ActionHandler which is common across
the entire application.

Each JSP page is assigned to a separate Request Object which does the
business logic specific to that page. Another XML is defined for the mapping
of JSP page and Request object. Based on this XML, ActionHandler executes
exact Request object.

Now my doubts are..

1. First of all, is it advisable to change the Struts code for any reason?
In order to have a single Form object across the entire application, I did
not find any option other than changing Struts code. Is there any better way
of doing this?

2. I'm using Action object as a controller. The job of ActionHandler is to
do some generic stuff like session check, basic form validation and then
calling corresponding Request object. Is it advisable to have a single
Action object across the application? 

Please let me know your ideas on this. Thanks in advance !!


Njoy..

RE: Accessing pages within a sub-application

[Ralph Roland]

I fought this same problem recently...  Your request to get the .jsp does
not flow through the Struts ActionServlet.  It's the ActionServlet that
stores a reference to the current (sub-application) configuration object in
the Request.  When the struts FormTag.doStartTag is executed it tries to
pull this reference from the Request, it's not there - so it tries to pull
it from the servlet context.  It does find one in the servlet context, but
this is the main configuration object, not the sub-app specific one.  The
specific sub-app action is not defined in the main struts-config file, so
it's not found in the main app config object, and this error message is
emitted.

My work-around for this problem was to add a new attribute to the FormTag
called subApplication, that can be used in the FormTag.lookup method to find
the correct sub-application configuration object - stored in the servlet
context under the tag "Action.APPLICATION_KEY+"/subapplicationname" (as you
point out).

Perhaps not the most ellegant solution, but it works for us...

BTW, someone's probably going to point out that requests to get the .jsp
directly are not correct to begin with...  but, if the page in question has
any local (thispage.jsp#foo) hrefs, the browser is going to re-request the
page anyway - forcing this problem to surface.

Good luck,
Ralph

RE: Single ActionServlet, ActionForm, Action across entire applicatio n... is it ok ?

[Kamholz, Keith (corp-staff) USX]

Hi,
If you want to use the same form-bean for several input forms, can't you
just change the scope of the mapped actions to "session" or possibly
"application"?  I"m not sure what your needs are, but that's all I do.

Subject: Single ActionServlet, ActionForm, Action across entire
applicatio n... is it ok ?


Hello 

Recently I started working on Struts. I'm using Struts 1.0.2 version. 
Struts framework recommends to create separate ActionForm and Action object
for each JSP page.
Instead, I created a single Form object DynaForm which has a HashMap in it.
And I'm using this form object for all the JSP pages in my application. I
downloaded the Struts source. And added following lines of code in 
org.apache.struts.util.PropertyUtils::getSimpleProperty() method


if(bean instanceof DynaForm)
{
try
{
return ((DynaForm)bean).getObject(name);
}catch(Exception e)
{
log.debug(e.getMessage());
return null;
}
}

Also I have an XML file which defines the application flow




index
home


home
account




All nextpage node values are defined in struts-config.xml in
 section. So based on this XML, I decide the application
flow from my Action object. 
I have a single Action object called as ActionHandler which is common across
the entire application.

Each JSP page is assigned to a separate Request Object which does the
business logic specific to that page. Another XML is defined for the mapping
of JSP page and Request object. Based on this XML, ActionHandler executes
exact Request object.

Now my doubts are..

1. First of all, is it advisable to change the Struts code for any reason?
In order to have a single Form object across the entire application, I did
not find any option other than changing Struts code. Is there any better way
of doing this?

2. I'm using Action object as a controller. The job of ActionHandler is to
do some generic stuff like session check, basic form validation and then
calling corresponding Request object. Is it advisable to have a single
Action object across the application? 

Please let me know your ideas on this. Thanks in advance !!

Re: Output to Excel

If  you need something beyond CSV (i.e. formatting, coloring, etc.), you can also
use the Java Excel API (http://www.andykhan.com/jexcelapi). It generates xls that
all versions of Excel can read. The product is LGPL'ed.

I am not sure I understand what you are saying here, but I think I know

You action mapping looks okay... When your action sends it to wiz1, it 
will go to the tiles definition below and build it there...

Is this what you were looking for?

Subject: Tiles definition problem


Hi all,

I'm trying to use the Tiles definitions to define my
pages, and not have JSP pages assembling the tiles. I
can get Tiles to recognize a named definition for the
header element, but I can't get it to use a named
definition for the main page (the action forward). See
the files below. If I set the forward for "input1" to
wiz1.jsp, then it works fine. But I want to use the
definition "wiz1" and avoid having a wiz1.jsp. When I
set the action forward to "wiz1" I get a file not
found error.

Things are basically working since the header
definition works. But the page definition isn't.

Ideas?

Thanks,

Dave

RE: Using html:link

[Trieu, Danny]

Correct,  for workflow case, this is one of the way to capture input from
multiple page into a container beans.  But after you finish your workflow,
if there isn't a requirement to have it in the session, remove it from
session.  If memorry is an issue and/or fail-over(clustering) is
requirement,  manage your user's session right will help you apps scale
better and lesser errors.  Also, if you have your bean in the session, any
time you update the state of your bean, make sure you set it back into the
session so the container know to update others beans in the cluster.

This is a bit of a newbie question, but what is the difference between a
local forward and a global forward? So, in the action mappings, those are
'local forwards'?

RE: i18n

[Joseph Barefoot]

You can put it however you like, but if you don't have a getAction() and
setAction() as James describes, then the value "Edit Coverage" will never be
stored anywhere.  Add these to your form and then retrieve the value from
the form bean associated with your action class as he also described, and
match the value to determine the action.

Or you can retrieve it directly from the request (i.e.
request.getParameter("action")), if you want to break Struts MVC concepts.

Or, finally, you can use a different property name (e.g. editAction,
cancelAction, continueAction) for each of the buttons (and add getter/setter
pairs for these properties to the form bean), and then it doesn't matter
what the value attribute is set to.  Just check to see which of the three
properties (form fields) has a value instead.  The one that isn't null will
be the one that was clicked.

Joe

RE: Using html:link

[Trieu, Danny]

if you want to go to a jsp page, why do you need to create an Action class
and an ActionForm bean plus put the bean in the session   This is one of
those common mistake that will lead to creat too many action class and
ActionForm beans.Another thing is, if there isn't a need for the bean
other then the lifetime of the request, don't put it in the session

RE: Using html:link

It also must be a global forward, not a local forward (i.e., in the "action"
element).  So put it in your struts-config like so:

RE: Using html:link

[Kamholz, Keith (corp-staff) USX]

Hi,
I would approach it a little differently.
Just create an Action that knows whether or not to go to the Search page or
the Page after that.

The struts-config would say:





Then in the action class that handles this path, the "execute" method would
test the bean associated with the search page, and return either
"mapping.findForward('search')" or "mapping.findForward('followingPage')",
depending on the business logic you use to process the info.
Then in your page, you can just have a line that reads "SEARCH".
(I use *.do for my mapping for the org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet
class).
I think all that will allow you to do what you need to.

The web.xml contains a mapping (don't know if this matters):

Accessing pages within a sub-application

[Vlad Baranovsky]

Hello, I was wondering if someone might have insight into the following problem:

I have a struts-based application to which I have added a sub-application.  When I try 
to directly access a .jsp file that belongs to the sub-application and has an 
 tag in it, I receive the following exception:

javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot retrieve mapping for action /doSomething at 
org.apache.struts.taglib.html.FormTag.lookup(FormTag.java:828) at 
org.apache.struts.taglib.html.FormTag.doStartTag(FormTag.java:528) 

..where the action "doSomething" is defined in the sub-application's struts-config.xml 
file.  

By looking at the tag library source code and doing some tests, I've discovered that 
the the cause of the problem might be here (the first few lines of the lookup method 
of FormTag):

appConfig = (ApplicationConfig)
pageContext.getRequest().getAttribute(Action.APPLICATION_KEY);
if (appConfig == null) { // Backwards compatibility hack
appConfig = (ApplicationConfig)
pageContext.getServletContext().getAttribute(Action.APPLICATION_KEY);
}

It appears that the "backwards compatibility hack" is invoked, and the application 
config object is retrieved from the servlet context, rather than the request.  Because 
the sub-application's config object is located under the key 
"Action.APPLICATION_KEY+"/subapplicationname" in the servlet context, the config 
object for the main application is retrieved, and consequently, the mapping for the 
action cannot be found.  If this .jsp file is forwarded to by an action, however, the 
correct config object is retrieved from the request, and the page loads without 
exceptions.

My question is, am I misunderstanding something?  Or is there no support for this kind 
of operation?  (meaning, just typing the URL of such a .jsp into a browser) Any 
suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Vlad

Using html:link

[ryan . cuprak]

From: Ryan D. Cuprak

Hello,
  I am trying to embedd a link in a jsp page that links to another jsp page
using the html:link. Presently I get the exception:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot create rewrite URL:
java.net.MalformedURLException: Cannot retrive ActionForward named /search
 when I attempt to view the page displaying the link.

In the page I have:
Perform a Search

And the struts-config.xml has:



The web.xml contains a mapping (don't know if this matters):

auth
/authentication/*


auth is the ActionServlet.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

RE: i18n

[Carlos Fernandez]

Nope. I will put it this way. I have 3 buttons un my JSP. Cancel, continue
and Edit. How do I know which button was pressed in my action class?. The
way how I implement the buttons is : 

>   pageproperty="buttonEditImage"
>altProperty="buttonEditText"
>property="action"
>value="Edit_Coverage"
>border="0"/>

That example goes for the "edit" button.

I'm assuming by your using the property="action", that you have a field on
your form for action (getAction() and setAction())

MyActionForm frm = (MyActionForm) form;
String action = frm.getAction()
if (action != null) {
  // insert code here
}

You might also look into the DispatchAction, its very easily implemented and
it can be a real timesaver.

Weird Upload problems

[Anthony Balandran]

Hello All-

I have looked and looked for any information on this exception I am
getting.  I have not been successful.  I don't even understand why I am
getting a -26 back from the substring method in String.  I expected to
receive a -1 or the position of the substring.  The number varies
greatly, sometimes it's -225 or something like that.  By the way, the
online javadoc is missing the MultipartBoundaryInputStream class.  I
have compared the source of the version of this class I have to the
latest nightly build and they are the same so upgrading wouldn't do me
any good.  I am using enctype="multipart/form-data".  I am using jdk
1.3.1_03.  Any clues at all would be very helpful.

RE: Installing of Struts on WSAD and also on Websphere App Server 4.02

[Kamholz, Keith (corp-staff) USX]

Hi,
I'm using struts on WSAD.  I didn't download the struts package myself, but
I believe the download includes a few war files.  You can go to "File" and
select "Import" and choose "WAR file".  Import the struts-blank.war if you
want to create a new application with the struts framework.  Import the
other ones if you want to look through the projects to pick them apart and
see how they work.  Is this helpful at all?

Re: Same Action, different Views

[Robert Williams]

Generating anything in the response from within an Action is a violation of
MVC concepts.  I don't think you want to do that.  Better to send a
parameter with the input that controls which forward to use from your Action
to generate the response.  One "jsp" should generate the HTML response and
another should generate what ever the GUI needs.  You won't be able to use
Struts tags in the GUI response, but that shouldn't be a problem, as you
will have to format the response in some non-HTML format.  Hmmm maybe XML???

I prefer create an Action class with:

response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename=myfile.xls");
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");

Then write out standard html tables.  Excel will format them.  Formatting 
support varies between versions starting at:

Excel 97 - basic table layout, no real coloring.

to
Excel XP - Even CSS formatting support for fonts and colors.

But even in Excel 97. I still find it a lot more workable than straight 
csv.  If you need to support Excel 95, you'll need to use csv instead.

There's an example of this in Expresso called ExcelViewHandler:
com.jcorporate.expresso.core.servlet.viewhandler.ExcelViewHandler

HTH!

What is the preferred way to implement "Same Model+Action, Different Views"

I want to build an Action that answers to HTTP requests both from a browser

The Action and the Bean are the same, the view for the GUI does not need
much of the HTML dress-up.

I thought about have two Actions in struts-config.xml that uses the same

Do we have anything more elegant than that?

Subject: Tiles definition problem


Hi all,

I'm trying to use the Tiles definitions to define my
pages, and not have JSP pages assembling the tiles. I
can get Tiles to recognize a named definition for the
header element, but I can't get it to use a named
definition for the main page (the action forward). See
the files below. If I set the forward for "input1" to
wiz1.jsp, then it works fine. But I want to use the
definition "wiz1" and avoid having a wiz1.jsp. When I
set the action forward to "wiz1" I get a file not
found error.

Things are basically working since the header
definition works. But the page definition isn't.

Ideas?

Thanks,

Dave

Subclass Actions vs Request processor? - Design Question

[Jeff_Mychasiw]

I would like some clarification, Here is what I think I understand
With pre 1.1, if you wanted to perform a task for every action/page your choices
were to override the Action servlet or subclass the Action
and define an abstract myPerform() method.  The parent class would perform
common functionality in it's perform method then call the myPerform().

I also understand that it is a good idea to create a super action(s) regardless
of whether you think you will need it or not.

I am in the process of design of our first Struts app and I am at that point.

So:
1 - I think in the future,  if I want to perform common functionality for each
request, then I should plan to use the request processor.

2 - I should still create an Application specific super Action Class to hold
common helper methods but I do not need to force an abstract myPerform()

Am I off base?

You are misunderstanding the concepts.

Struts provides a framework that does request handling for your.

You simply implement an Action class and struts will call your method.

You can't "pre-fill" an upload form field.  No popular browsers have 
any support for the "value" attribute.  I was checking that in 
response to an earlier post on struts-user today.  Here's a link with 
more info 
 
Just found that w/Google, so I'm not endorsing it.

If you have a form where the upload is optional, check the "fileSize" 
property of your formFile to see if someone gave you anything to 
handle or not.

Re: Forms and editing FormFiles

[John Nicholas]

OK, I didn't explain my problem very well . I have no problems with 
saving the  graphic uploaded or displaying it later. I'm wondering how 
to handle editing this same data later. My original form lets the user 
add an entry to a database. Let's pretend it's an address book with 
pictures so the form lets me put in name, address and upload a jpeg. In 
the database I store the name, address and path to the graphic. Later I 
want to be able to edit this data. I have the form come up prepopulated 
with their name and address and those fields can be changed and updated 
in the database.

I'm wondering how the file upload field should be handled. Should I put 
anything in it or leave it empty? If I leave it empty I could replace 
the graphic only if they upload one and leave it as the original if they 
don't. That might imply to the user that there isn't a graphic when 
there is plus I'd have to validate the graphic differently.

Do users expect the name of the original graphic to be there and if so 
how to get it in there without confusing the ActionForm? I obviously 
wouldn't be sending the graphic back to them and having them upload it 
again through the form the way you do with text in a text field but I 
don't see how to only send the name of the graphic and only maybe get a 
graphic back.

Thanks, John

Select Tag

[Sesha]

This is pertaining to Select Tag. 

Is it is possible that value attribute in select tag can take a String
array.

When I select multiple items in the select and submit to the same page, how
can we retain these values. Presently I am able to reatin only one of the
selected values. I notice that the value attribute in the select tag takes
only a String. Is there a work around for this that you might know.

Thank You
Sesha

RE: Forms and editing FormFiles

[James Mitchell]

The display of the image is separate from handling of the uploaded file.

In fact, the file could be of any type (e.g. .doc, .swf, .xls, .jpg)

Whether you save the image to the db as binary or save it to disk, the image
is acquired from the browser through a separate http request.

If saved on disk, your jsp/html page is typically done with:


If you saved to db then you would need to write something like:


Then have a action class (or action class -> jsp) that handles writing
binary file to browser.
You could:
 -call db layer and get the binary image, then write it using
  response directly from your action
or
 -save the image into a bean and pass to a jsp, then have the jsp do
  the same (Don't forget to set the content type)

Some browsers can have trouble with the second approach, you may need to
specify the type as image/gif or image/jpeg.

How you handle this is completely up to you.

I hope that helps.

Tiles definition problem

[Dave Peckham]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the Tiles definitions to define my
pages, and not have JSP pages assembling the tiles. I
can get Tiles to recognize a named definition for the
header element, but I can't get it to use a named
definition for the main page (the action forward). See
the files below. If I set the forward for "input1" to
wiz1.jsp, then it works fine. But I want to use the
definition "wiz1" and avoid having a wiz1.jsp. When I
set the action forward to "wiz1" I get a file not
found error.

Things are basically working since the header
definition works. But the page definition isn't.

Ideas?

Thanks,

Dave

Forms and editing FormFiles

[John Nicholas]

I have a file upload field in a form. I was adapting the form to handle 
editing existing entries and ran into a stumbling block. When bringing 
up a pre-populated form that has a file upload field how should I handle 
it? Do I need to load the formfile in the bean? Then what?

Example:
Let's say I have form to add people and thier pictures to an app
Name: _ <-- reg text input
Picture: _ [Browse] <-- file upload

Now when I bringing this up to edit it and prepopulating from an action
Name: John
Picture: __ <-- what should show here? just the file name?

 It seems wasteful to load the image into  the actionform when usually 
I'm not editing it plus I'm not sure the best way to do that. (Any one 
have sample code for loading a FormFile object from a file?)  Maybe not 
on little web gifs but what about a form where people are uploading 
large pdfs. I don't want to force people to reupload everytime. In my 
real app the people editing it later are not usually going to be the 
people who uploaded the binary files. What is the standard behavior for 
this?

Thanks, John
