Actually, that's exactly what I'm doing now, but for some internal 
perturbations, it looks like I'll have problems whit that. Therefore I 
asked for a 'native' solution.

It seems that the solution is to implement my MessageResources class, just 
as you suggested replying on my other questions (xml based translations).

Thanks to you and others!

RE: errors.suffix

[Daniel J. D'Cotta]

Well, I seen that before, but I was hoping that if 'the upcoming 1.1-beta-2'
was drawing close to release, that a rough time frame might be made known to
all.

Maybe just a a 'almost', 'half-way', or 'no-where near' answer.

Recent nightly builds of 1.1 let you specify "errors.prefix" and
"errors.suffix" message keys, to define text that is added to the
beginning and end of each individual message.  This will also be true in
the upcoming 1.1-beta-2.

RE: marking checkboxes checked from a List

[Rahul Kumar Saxena]

Inside JobObjects bean, add one attribute for checking if this job is
checked, say selectedFlag (Not a good name). Set the value of
selectedFlag to true for all the JobObjects which you want to show as
selected.This you can do in the action class which forwards to this JSP.
While creating the checkboxes, first check if selectedFlag for that
JobObjects is true then display the checkbox as selected.This can be
done using logic:equal tag.

Subject: marking checkboxes checked from a List


I'm sure there is a good way to handle this in Struts but me being the
dumbass I thought I'd ask for help:

Picture a case where you display a list of "jobs" -
where next to each job name is a checkbox (Just using jobs for this
example). Each checkbox corresponding to the job will have a value that
is a String (jobAbbreviation). Displaying this list of jobs and the
value of the checkboxes isn't a problem ( populated from an ArrayList of
JobObjects ).

The problem is:

How do I mark the correct checkboxes based on an ArrayList of Strings
(jobAbbreivations)? In other words I have just a List of Strings and I
need to mark all the appropriate checkboxes that have the same values as
this List of abbreviations. ( I know an ugly way to do it using java in
the JSP page checking each value to see if it's in the List but there
must be a cleaner way ).

Thanks so much for any help.

RE: DynaActionForm Advantages

[Jacob Hookom]

I agree with James on the extra level aspect.  I've been finding that
the finer the granularity in my struts application, the easier it is to
maintain [for each action, a specialized form/bean].

I did opt though for the validator, since it brought regexp validation
to the table which is invaluable and fairly easy to setup in an
afternoon.

My two cents on the topic.

As mentioned, once you move to a good Java IDE like JBuilder, writing 
getters and setters is no longer nearly the pain it used to be.

What bothers me about the DynaBean approach is that it's *yet another* 
file, and *yet another* level of indirection that obscure what's really 
going on.  I can look at an ActionForm, see all the properties, look at
the 
validation, all in one step.  Making it a DynaBean form means having to 
maintain another file with the XML, always having to remember where it
is, etc.

I think the decision to use one or the other is a matter of programming 
style, but I don't think either one is dogmatically a best practice.

RE: DynaActionForm Advantages

[Andrew Hill]

Actually JBuilder comes with a tool for bean generation but I find its a bit
like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut for the relatively small forms I am
using (a lot have only 2 or 3 properties I need to track with 8 probably
being a good average!).

As for productivity , Ive always considered number of lines written to be an
inverse measure of it! ;-)
(Which makes some of my 1000+ line abstract-uber-classes look rather
alarming. (hehe a good 30% is probably null checking and exception handling
though!)

It's also feasible to auto-generate form beans with tools of various

RE: DynaActionForm Advantages

[Andrew Hill]

I do my rendering using DOM and server side java code. While a lot of it is
now done in abstract superclasses (making use of PropertyUtils to get stuff
from the form) a lot is also still making direct use of specific
actionForms, and I find having real methods in my action form is useful in
catching typos at compile time, and also means JBuilder (shame on me for not
using vi!) gives me nice drop down boxes with all the method names, which is
rather useful since my brain's small cache can't remember more than half the
fields on a given form at any one time...

Furthermore , one can spend ages typing all the getters and setters with
ones brain in nuetral yet still feel one has been getting work done ;-)

(On the other hand once I make time to actually learn the syntax for
DynaForms I will probably be switching ...)

If DynaActionForm had been around from the very beginning, I doubt we
would have ever invented the standard ActionForm bean approach.  At the
same time, I can't necessarily justify deprecating something that 100% of
existing 1.0 applications are required to use, especially when the rest of
Struts doesn't care at all which way you do things -- and you can even
make your Actions not care if you use PropertyUtils methods to get and set
the property values.

It's also a little premature to conclude that DynaActionForm beans are
good replacements for all scenarios where standard ActionForm beans are
currently used - at least in a 1.1 time frame.  We need more real world
experience with them to validate this first.

Recent nightly builds of 1.1 let you specify "errors.prefix" and
"errors.suffix" message keys, to define text that is added to the
beginning and end of each individual message.  This will also be true in
the upcoming 1.1-beta-2.

Ooh, okay, good call, thanks Martin.  I changed this on recommendation from
Ishikawa-san...
http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg34095.html.
This solved one of my bigger classloading problems.  

But now I am back to the original problem, exception as i load the servlet,
see below.  

So I'm kinda stuck btw a rock and a hard place ;)

Ideas?

As with doing a validate method for a standard ActionForm bean, you need
to know the name of the property you want to edit, as well as what rules
you want to apply.  So, the basic idea would be something like this:

* Create a DynaActionForm subclass to contain your validate() method --
  let's call it com.mycompany.MyForm and fill in the details later.

* Configure this bean in struts-config.xml:

  
...

...
  

* Write your validate() method something like this:

  pacakge com.mycompany;
  import org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors;
  import org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm;

  public class MyForm extends DynaActionForm {

public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
 HttpServletRequest request) {

  String startDate = get("startDate");
  ... perform the usual validations on this String ...

}


  }

To retrieve property values, the key is that DynaActionForm implements the
DynaBean interface (from commons-beanutils), so it provides get() method
variants for simple property access, as well as indexed and mapped access.
There are corresponding set() methods to set the properties.
Alternatively, you can use the PropertyUtils methods on either kind of
bean transparently, and replace the getter above with:

  String startDate = PropertyUtils.getProperty(this, "startDate");

It's also worth checking out the Validator Framework's support for
DynaActionForm beans, to see if it can do what you need without having to
write these kinds of validate() methods yourself.

OT: squeaky wheel with struts experience needs a job

[Dominique Plante]

I have recently heard the saying: "The squeaky wheel gets the grease",
so I thought I would take a minute to be a "squeaky wheel".

I am familiar bunch of technologies and projects in addition to Struts,
including JSP, Java, and HTML, ANT, cactus, and Tomcat.  I am also very
interested and have experience with refactoring, design patterns, and
performance optimization.

Please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to send me details about a
potential opportunity.
I am in the East San Francisco Bay area.

Now I wait for the grease ;)

If DynaActionForm had been around from the very beginning, I doubt we
would have ever invented the standard ActionForm bean approach.  At the
same time, I can't necessarily justify deprecating something that 100% of
existing 1.0 applications are required to use, especially when the rest of
Struts doesn't care at all which way you do things -- and you can even
make your Actions not care if you use PropertyUtils methods to get and set

It's also a little premature to conclude that DynaActionForm beans are
good replacements for all scenarios where standard ActionForm beans are
currently used - at least in a 1.1 time frame.  We need more real world
experience with them to validate this first.

Actually, no. Standard deployment is to have struts.jar *inside* your web
app, in WEB-INF/lib. If you check the examples that come with Struts, you'll
see that each web app has a copy of struts.jar inside it. If you don't do
this, you'll certainly run the likelihood of classloader problems.

Sorry for the late reply (I've been on my honeymoon). Just wanted to drop a

called eContent at www.jcorporate.com. Full source is available though it is
not open source. Free version is available to universities and may be

Couldn't this logic be moved to validate()? Something like:


public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
 HttpServletRequest request) {


/*
 * preValidate() performs get()/set() operations as required to
 * perform non-trivial getter/setter functionality.
 *

 *
 * It could perform some validation as well and return ActionErrors.
 */

ActionErrors errors = this.preValidate();

// Now perform validation on the Dyna-data as you normally would...



return errors;

}

Again, move to validate().

Tell me again why I should use the standard form beans?


I'm trying to understand because it seems to add complexity having two
different ways of doing Form Beans. Why not polish up the Dyna bean stuff
and then dump (er, deprecate) normal Form Beans?

One advantage I will give the normal Form Beans is that they are easier for
a newbie to pick up and learn. They shorten the learning curve to get
productive with Struts initially. But if DynaBeans were made to be very
easy, then this advantage may disappear as well.

MessageResources problem under JBoss 3.0

[Brian Topping]

Hiyas,

I'm looking at a classloader problem with JBoss 3 and Struts 1.1B1.  It would
appear that this is the source of problems in loading properties files for
struts users on JBoss.

If there is anyone out there that is using JBoss 3, can you comment on your
ability to load or not load properties files correctly, for instance in
conjunction with ActionErrors?

My environment:

JBoss 3.0.1RC1_tomcat4.0.4 (same problem with JBoss 3 release)
W2KSP2
JDK 1.3.1_02
Struts 1.1B1

Standard deployment of Struts of course is to have a struts.jar in the deploy
dir, next to the app.war file for the actual application.  app.war has no
problem loading classes or resources out of the struts.jar file.  

I've dug into MessageResources.getMessage(), and it's getting a resource
stream with 'this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(name)'.
The caller is a utility method inside struts.jar, not the app.jar.  Like I
said, the call works fine for properties files that are in the struts.jar,
but fails for properties that are in the app.war file.  

This is a major issue, since properties files that are listed in
 can't be loaded.  I presume that it works standalone
tomcat just fine, otherwise someone else would have noticed ;)

I'm suspecting incompatibility with JBoss Unified Class Loader -- I believe
different jars mean these are different classloaders, so
'this.getClassLoader()' gets the wrong classloader.  Either there is an
implementation problem with JBoss -- that the UCL isn't following the proper
semantics of getResource(), or Struts is pushing the edge of the semantics.  

Any thoughts on this?

*any* help appreciated...

best,

Possible reasons why not:

* You're currently still stuck with Struts 1.0.2 :-).

* Non-trivial getter and setter implementations that do more than just
  manipulate an instance variable.

* Required code in the no-args constructor (although in most cases you can
  get around this by doing initialization in the reset() method instead.

An additional reason to consider them was added in a recent nightly build
-- you can now conveniently initialize arrays of constants in your
struts-config.xml file, which is very convenient for setting up standard
options for an , or the default set of values for an
.  Example:

  
...

...
  

The syntax for initializing an array is basically like what you'd use to
initialize them in a variable declaration, except you can only use
constants.

1) if you do something like this, you may want to look at TMX.  It's an XML
format well-suited for this application.  Plus there is tool support. Info
here: http://lisa.org/tmx/  Once upon a time we wrote a subclass of
MessageResources that could read TMX files.  I posted the source here
http://www.thedivers.com/struts/ in case anyone is interested in it.

2) This is a nifty open-source tool from IBM I stumbled upon one day for
managing multiple property files should you decide to stick with them:
http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu4j/demo_tools/RBManager.html  Coincidently,
it also exports TMX files

Actually, parsing this with Digester would be pretty easy.  Consider that
you have a MyMessageBean class with the following method signatures:

  public void setKey(String key);
  public void addTranslation(String language, String value);
  public String findTranslation(String key, String language);

on it.  You could have digester rules something like this:

  digester.push(...); // Object with an addMessage() method defined

  digester.addObjectCreate("ApplicationResources/message",
   "com.mycompany.MyMessageBean");
  digester.addSetProperties("ApplicationResources/message");
  digester.addSetNext("ApplicationResources/message",
  "addMessage",
  "com.mycompany.MyMessageBean");

  digester.addCallMethod("ApplicationResources/message/value",
 "addTranslation", 2);
  digester.addCallParam("ApplicationResources/message/value",
0, "lang"); // Picks up "lang" attribute
  digester.addCallParam("ApplicationResources/message/value",
1); // Picks up element body

  digester.parse(...);

Thus, you'd end up with a HashMap or something of MyMessageBean instances,
keyed by the message key.  This data structure could then be accessed by a
custom MessageResources implementation that used the specified Locale to
figure out which language you wanted.

Eric,

many thanks for throwing light for me in this issue. Most of times, the more

are not they done in different way. Most of reports, software comments, ... 
says what they do, but not why they do not apply a different approach.

As you say, a nice issue to think about.

Using Reset to Load Drop Downs?

[Graham Lounder]

Hell All,

I'm having a small problem with loading my drop downs after a validation
error (since my action is not being called again).  It is recomended/good
practice to load my drop downs in the reset method of the form?  Is it
possible?  I would load them once my application starts, but I need to
modify the list before it is displayed.

Any Ideas?

Extend PropertyMessageResources.java (& the corresponding factory
class) and implement your own loadLocale() method, then, in your
struts-config.xml, point application and factory attributes to
your classes.

Thanks for the quick reply.  Most of my forms do have some sort of a custom

The benefit of using DynaActionForm instead is in one of the following two
use cases:

* If your ActionForm bean doesn't have a custom reset() or validate()
  method, you don't need to write your own form bean class at all --
  simply configure the properties in struts-config.xml.

* If your ActionForm bean does have a custom reset() or validate() method,
  those are the only ones you have to write -- no more time wasted with
  all the property getter and setter methods (have you ever done anything
more
  boring that writing those?).  Simply subclass DynaActionForm and
  implement the validate() method in the usual way (although it will
  have to use get() to get the values to be tested, instead of the
  usual property getter methods).

Given how many situations are covered by one or the other of the above,
I'd say DynaActionForm is modestly useful :-).  But, like most things,
it's just an option.

DynaActionForm Advantages

[Jerry Jalenak]

All,

What are the advantages to using DynaActionForms over the traditional Struts
ActionForms?  I'm in the process of looking at some of the newer features of
Struts 1.1, and frankly, I don't see where DynaActionForms is going to do
much for me.  In fact, in my limited view of the universe, it looks like
DynaActionForms are a move back toward a standard servlet, one where you
access HTML form data through a 'request.getParameter("form-variable")'.
Also, it would appear that the use of DynaActionForms forces all of the form
validation into the Action, making the Action more complex than it needs to
be (compared to the 'validate' method of the ActionForm).

What am I missing?  There must be some advantage to the use of
DynaActionForms


Thanks.

Re: Struts Validation - Stop on fail?

[Peter Onthrops]

 Are you using javascript validation? If not,
disregard this message.
If so, the javascript rendered by the
JavascriptValidatorTag performs each required
validation before checking for the float validation.
Since an error is found in validateRequired,
validateFloat is not called. if you check out the
javascript, your validate methods are bound by
"&&". So the first method to find an error
ends the validation checks.
hope this helps.

RE: [ARTICLE] Using JAAS and Struts

[Phase Web and Multimedia]

This all sounds great if you are running only one app on Tomcat. I don't see
where it addresses having webapp level control of url mappings. It sounds to
me like JAAS serves well on a container level/single app level. But in a
shared hosting environment where you need to have specific webapps with
their own set of permissions and their own user info database/ldap/etc... it
wont' suffice. Am I wrong? Because if I am I need to be using this for my
Struts apps. I saw a spec that seems to address this better (I think).

Here is the link:

That's a nice article, and describes the sort of approach which I am sure
many people (including me) have taken. I sure would have profited by
reading this before figuring it all out myself ...

My proposal would differ in having not the ActionServlet but the
Action-classes
check authorization - that way, you can include some bells and whistles in
your ActionMapping and use the configuration in struts-config.xml to control
security level, require logins, require SSL etc. for every single action.

Also, if you want to collect all your
permissions in a single permission DB (instead of multiple policy files) and
still use JDK 1.3, you might want to consider using your own Policy
implementation and maybe create an appropriateAccessControlContext
under which all the action processing is done. That would be difficult to
exactly mirror on JSP's, though.

I'm sure people on the Struts team must have proposals up their sleeve on
how to integrate JAAS, which they will include in a future release of
Struts.

RE: Struts + EJB ?

[Clay Graham]

I use struts extensively, and although I think EJB can be an asset on some 
projects that require object relational mapping or complex deployment 
configurations, I find it entirely unessesary for the JSP and business 
logic layers of my current project and would be just another step for me to 
do when deploying.

In my current tomcat applciation I create a "factory pattern" object and 
let it deligate the implementations that are passed to the client from each 
layer. For my data store I emulate the entity and home (finders) patterns.

this seems to work for me very well, but of course the implementations have 
some stuff in there that might be better placed ina descriptor file if I 
was deploying to a clustered environment or working with other developers 
and configurations.

basically EJB is another layer, each layer you add is going to add some 
complexity, sometimes its worth it, sometimes it isn't. doing architecture 
is about making that call.

Re: Doing business logic validation in the Action -ValdiatableAction

[Peter S. Hamlen]

James,

I'll just mention that we've taken an alternate approach from the others
mentioned on the newsgroup.   What we did was the following:

1) Create an interface called "ValidatableAction", with a method called
"validate".  

2) Create a "ValidatingForm" (bad name, I know) - within its Validate
method, it checks the action to see if it's an instanceof
ValidatableAction.  If so, it calls the action's validate method.

3) Ensure that your forms extend ValidatingForm, and your actions
implement ValidatableAction.

This allows you to capture the validating business logic in the action's
"validate" method, and leave the business processing logic in the
action's "execute" method.

See below for some of the actual code.  I welcome comments from the
group on this stuff...

-Peter


-Actual Code --

//Code for ValidatableAction
public interface ValidatableAction
{
   
public ActionErrors validateForm(   Form form, 
ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request);
}



// Code within ValidatingForm's validate method

public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest
request)
{
   Action action=(Action)Class.forName(mapping.getType()).newInstance();
   if (action instanceof ValidatableAction)
   {
ValidatableAction validatableAction =(ValidatableAction)action;
return validatableAction.validate(this, mapping, request);
   }
}

AW: Re: Struts + EJB ?

[Manfred Wolff]

Hi.

Struts and EJB is no problem. You use the "business delegate" pattern to
seperate business logic in the EJB Container (e.g. JBoss). You use also the
"value object" pattern to transport your data from the action to the fassade
on the EJB Container. Than you do all your logic in the application server
(do some data saving etc.) and return your data also with "value object".
With some intelligence you can copy your entity data 1:1 to the struts form.

I use Struts, Tomcat, JBoss, XDoclett, PostgreSQL, Ant, Log4J in a 5 "person
year" project (not large but not small also) and it works really fine.

Greetings
Manfred

Any Struts Tag

[@Basebeans.com]

Subject: Any Struts Tag
From: "bkrishna" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
 ===
Hi All,

I am trying to achieve the following

1.  from a Form using a button open a window (popup) (I am doing this by
calling a javasript window.open function)
2.  do some processing in the popup window and display a result set. (I am
doing this without any problem using struts iterate tag)
3.  select a value from the popup window (here I am using html:link tag) and
come back to the Form.

I tried using javascript open command and tried struts link tag, it always
opens a new Form window.  I am not able to get the result back to the
original Form window.  Can someone guide/suggest something.

Thanks in Advance.

Bala.

RE: Re: [ARTICLE] Using JAAS and Struts

[Seymore, Walter BGI UK]

But surely this is handled by the container. If the container's
implementation is not sufficient (e.g. it doesn't allow password file
validation that an app requires), should it not allow something like a JAAS
module to be plugged in? This would allow code to be written in a consistent
way (or not written at all if more fine-grained security is not required)

Not if you want to have security on the method level of your ejb's.
JAAS is the way to go for security in distributed apps.  If you just
have a simple web app with no j2ee stuff, then sure, add a few lines to
your web.xml file.  If you have something more complex, use JAAS.

Can't find logonAction?

[Thinh Doan]

Hi,

My app often locks up and tomcat logs indicated that it's trying to find
(instantiate) the logonAction. It had previously "found" the logonForm
however. The status bar on the browser showed the jsessionid generated. The
app was running fine before this condition occured.

Any clues on what might be the problem here? I'm running on RH 7.2, Tomcat
4.0.3 & Struts 1.0.2. TIA for your help.

RE: Object Relational Bridge is great ? A Basic Problem

[Schneider, Eric]

Adolfo,

I understand what you are getting at, but there is a reason why this
framework doesn't exist.  It's because it is an extremely difficult problem.

I have used a couple of O/R frameworks that come close to doing what you
describe.  Instead of creating concrete classes with accessors for every
entity they use a generic class that allows you to access attributes by
calling getObjectForKey() and setObjectForKey().  But, still, this type of
framework requires an additional configuration layer of property files that
contain metadata information pertaining to database.

Think of all the things this ER configuration layer must keep track of:
-entity to table name mapping
-object attribute to table column mapping (types, precision, is attribute
required, etc.)
-relationship descriptions (to-one, to-many, optionality, cardinality,
cascading deletes, etc.)

On top of that, add business rules into the mix and it gets complex really
fast.  Think of all the different ways you need to validate information.  Is
the validation different for a property based on whether you are inserting,
updating, or deleting?  Where is this validation suppose to go?

When you dig a bit deeper you quickly find out there is nothing 'Basic'
about good object relational frameworks.

Food for thought.

e.

RE: Stability ??

[Martin Cooper]

We're getting close to 1.1 Beta 2, so you should be fine with the most
recent nightly build. In addition to bug fixes over 1.1 Beta 1, you'll also
get to use the latest and greatest features. ;-) However, if you'd be more
comfortable with 1.1 Beta 1, that is also pretty stable.

Recent nightly builds of 1.1 let you specify "errors.prefix" and
"errors.suffix" message keys, to define text that is added to the
beginning and end of each individual message.  This will also be true in
the upcoming 1.1-beta-2.

Thanks for the tip, no, doesn't work.  Makes *no* sense.  

Gurus:  Is there any points in the struts code that I should be checking for
brain damage?  I'm completely set up in my debugger to debug my application
and struts together, I've traced the configuration object getting created
(not too interesting), and I've traced into the call to get the property.
I'm not too up on how all this works, but it seems like struts is trying to
take over the job of i18n from the JVM and not doing it quite right.  It
seems like others have been having problems with this (Babs Post) and would
like to find a more robust fix.

best,

marking checkboxes checked from a List

[Rick Reumann]

I'm sure there is a good way to handle this in Struts but me being the
dumbass I thought I'd ask for help:

Picture a case where you display a list of "jobs" -
where next to each job name is a checkbox (Just using jobs for this
example). Each checkbox corresponding to the job will have a value
that is a String (jobAbbreviation). Displaying this list of jobs and
the value of the checkboxes isn't a problem ( populated from an
ArrayList of JobObjects ).

The problem is:

How do I mark the correct checkboxes based on an ArrayList of
Strings (jobAbbreivations)? In other words I have just a List of Strings
and I need to mark all the appropriate checkboxes that have the same
values as this List of abbreviations. ( I know an ugly way to do it
using java in the JSP page checking each value to see if it's in the
List but there must be a cleaner way ).

Thanks so much for any help.

Thanks Eric,

I will have it a look. Looks like interesting.

However, a question more, for you or whoever. I would like to hear someone 
agreeing my suspicions that for most of O/R mapping frameworks, we need to 
create the object classes that map database tables by compiling code or 
using ant tasks. None (do not know Cayenne yet), is able to do for itself.

I did get any feedback sharing my point and I wonder if I am missing 
something.

I solved this myself. It was caused by the new implementation of the
Introspector class in JDK 1.4. This results in stricter name checking with
boolean bean properties.

My app had a String property "type" with getType/setType and additionally
I had implemented a method "isType" returning boolean. This inconsistency was
obviously not detected by pre-1.4 JDK versions.

Erich

Problem with html:link and html:img

Hi,
I have a page where I want to combine my html:link and html:img tags. In
regular html, it would be something like this. 
 

I want to write the same thing using struts tags.On clicking the image,
I want to invoke a JavaScript function which eventually submits the
form. So, I wrote my code like this. 
 


This code does not work.I am using Struts 1.0.2. Can someone please help

problem with error messages

[@Basebeans.com]

Subject: problem with error messages
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 ===
Hello,

I am getting the following error message on one of my
jsps:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Exception creating
bean of class com.valleyrec.toteboard.beans.Toteboard:
{1}

I know from browsing the struts source that the {1}
should be the forward.forward property from
org.apache.struts.taglib.logic.LocalProperties.properties.
 That message is:

Exception forwarding for name {0}: {1}

with the {0} and {1} replaced by parameters.  I've had
this problem across multiple versions of struts
(including today's cvs and a few daily builds from
last week).  Does anyone know why I'm not getting the
correct error messages?  Could this be a bug, or do I
have some sort of configuration error?

RE: logic:iterate populating with multiple String[]

[Kamholz, Keith (corp-staff) USX]

I just remembered those table resources that I was talking about.  It's the
 tag library.  I haven't used it, so I'm not sure exactly how it
works, but I read the description and it seems like it allows the creation
of tables column by column.  I'm not sure though, since I haven't read past
the surface description or used it at all.  It's available at
http://edhill.its.uiowa.edu/display/.  Has anyone else used this?  What did
you think of it?

RE: logic:iterate populating with multiple String[]

[Kamholz, Keith (corp-staff) USX]

Hey,
I can't think of a quick fix for this offhand.  However, I think there are
some resources available online somewhere that allow you to create tables
column by column rather than line by line.  I can't remember where I saw
this, but I'll let you know if I do.
One quick fix I came up with when I was working on my app was to create a
display property.  All it did was return one long String with the properties
and any extra desired text in it.  I know it's a very inelegant fix, but
it's the only thing I can come up with off the top of my head without you
restructuring your form beans like I suggested before.
Could anyone who knows what I mean about those table resources that let you
create a table column by colmun let us all know?  I found out about it on
this list, so someone has to know what I'm talking about.
Hope this is helpful and that I'm making some sense.

RE: dynamicaly generated forms and ActionForms

[Andrew Hill]

Does XDoclet allow for _runtime_ generation of ActionForms based on
information only available at runtime?
>From what I saw it looked rather like a design time utility (?).

Ive noticed quite a few folk looking for a way of doing ActionForms at
runtime (the DynaActionForm is alas still a design time convienience as you
have to configure the fields in xml at design time) and I hope that the
struts developers will strongly consider putting it high up on their
wishlist for 1.2 (I gather the 1.1 featurelist is somewhat closed already?).

I have a feeling I will be needing this myself before too long, but havent
yet had a chance to look at what would be involved.

Hi.

We use XDoclet to generate our EJB's (CMP). There is also a tag to generate
the struts form. With XDoclet you describe your bean with javadoc
commentarys:

 * @ejb:bean type="CMP"
 *   name="TelekomVerbindung"
 *   view-type="local"
 *   use-soft-locking="true"
 *   cmp-version="2.x"
 * primkey-field="id"
 *
 * @ejb:transaction type="Required"
 *
 * @ejb:interface
 *  local-class="de.neusta.fortuna.ejb.standort.TelekomVerbindungLocal"
 *local-extends="de.neusta.fortuna.ejb.base.FortunaBaseEntLocal"
 *
 * @jboss:table-name "ST_TELEKOMMUNIKATION"
 * @jboss:create-table "${jboss.create.table}"
 * @jboss:remove-table "${jboss.remove.table}"
 * @jboss:tuned-updates "${jboss.tuned.updates}"
 * @jboss:read-only "${jboss.read.only}"
 *
 * @struts:form
 *  name="TelekomVerbindung"
 */

You see the last two rows are the declaration for the struts form. In this
case XDoclet generates a struts form with all bean-attributes. Nice isn't
it.

The standard implementation of DynaActionForm is not going to help you
deal with this use case.  It still expects the set of properties for a
particular form bean to be declared in the struts-config.xml file at
application startup time.

Supporting this more general notion of dynamic forms would be a very
popular enhancement.  However, it's a little late to try to get this into
a 1.1 final release, so standard support will have to wait for some future
version.

RE: back office tool (urgent, TIA)

[Adolfo Miguelez]

Hi Frank,

thanks for your response. I am actually interested in testing your app. I do 
not if it is a commercial product or a free or open source one, but I am 
interested anyway.

I would appreciate to know how can I have a sample of your application. You 
could send it by email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], or give me pointer or URL 
where I could download it for myself.

I have been working out how to implement it for myself, possibly by using an 
O/R mapping framework (Castor, OJB, Torque, SIMPER...), but I find most of 
well known frameworks, need class generation at development time, so I can 
no implement an generic mechanism. So it would take me longer to implement 
it from scratch.

Many thanks in advance,

Adolfo Rodriguez

Client side validation

[Marian Skalsky]

Hi there!

If I wanna use JavaScript client side validation with Struts I follow these:
1) set up my validation.xml
2) set up ApplicationResources for messages
3) extend ValidatorForm 
4) .. and how to enable client side validation (in JSPs?) 
5) .. will the server side validation be performed then too 

Thx a lot. 

$kala.

RE: back office tool (urgent, TIA)

Adolfo,

If you are interested we have a struts application that can analyse an
Oracle 8i database and is able to do any CRUDS operation you want. Even if
the tables have forreign keys etc., than it works with drop down boxes. You
can use this application if you want.

Hi All,

we are planning to incorporate a back office tool for the projects developed

at our company. Our RDBMS is Oracle 8i. It should, at least provide a easy 
handling in CRUD operations, and MAYBE allow data model management (modify 
tables, rows, constraints...).

The primer intend is to evaluate three options:

- some open source or freeware tool, (I do not know any),

- purchasing something, (we know just http://www.objectmatter.com),

- or even developed ourselves based in open source APIS, e.g. based on 
SIMPER, on some Entity EJB project, on Torque?s (from Turbine)... + Struts 
or Velocity  ???

I would appreciate opinions and pointers that could help to take a decision 
or evaluate different projects.

Thanks in advance,

Adolfo

RE: i18n on html:submit tag

You can put the i18n key in the middle of the tag.

i18n on html:submit tag

[Lisa van Gelder]

Hi all

Can anybody tell me how to use i18n with a html:submit tag, so the value of
the input is internationalised?

It should be a simple thing, but I can't find an attribute in the tag
reference that will let me do it. "value" isn't internationalised, and
"titleKey" just gives it a title.

The workaround is to do "> but this is kind of messy.

Am I missing something?

Lisa

Validator Rollback on Error

[Jacob Hookom]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone found a solid [or any] work around for form
validating and returning back to pages/forms that have specialized
parameters.

Example (/workspace-insert.jsp is the form):
Instead of rolling back to: /workspace-insert.jsp
Rollback to: /workspace-insert.jsp?id=21932EW43

Currently, my forms extend ValidatorForm and are configured
appropriately in the 'validator.xml'.

Is there any way to get struts not to look for the input and instead
return to the logical sender of the request?

Best Regards,
Jake Hookom

Yah, I am doing it.  It's my first struts application.  It works great!

If you are using Struts and EJB, you should check out Xdoclet.  It generates
EJB interfaces, web.xml, strutsconfigs, struts forms, etc.  It might be too
much of a pain to learn if you are just learning one or the other, but since
you can leverage the investment against both struts and ejb both, it's worth
the investment, IMHO.  There are some cool tricks you can do with taking the
contents out of forms and pushing them into your beans.

have a blast!

The standard implementation of DynaActionForm is not going to help you
deal with this use case.  It still expects the set of properties for a
particular form bean to be declared in the struts-config.xml file at
application startup time.

Supporting this more general notion of dynamic forms would be a very
popular enhancement.  However, it's a little late to try to get this into
a 1.1 final release, so standard support will have to wait for some future
version.
