Re: Tiles extend

[Miguel Angel Medina Lopez]

Thanks Devin

It's a solution, but if I put in the inherited definition an attribute with
a the null value () it must work, isn't it?
I think this is a bug of the distribution that it'll be repaired in next
build.

Best regards

RE: Struts tags for display a collection of views

[Heligon Sandra]

Excuse me I do not understand the direction of your answer.
I already read documentation about tags offered by struts.  
For displaying a list of objects it seems that there are two possible
choices logic:iterate and nested tags.  
The problem that I meet today in the construction of my page to displaying
data several similar sights seemed me common.  
This is why I sought of the assistance on this forum.  
I find interessant very to be able to exchange our knowledge, 
and our experiments that makes it possible to reduce times of development
considerably. 
I know that the tutoriaux ones and documentation exist but the examples
given are often simple.  On the other hand the users of Struts like you and
me, build more complex cases.

Hi,

I don't know HTML/Struts tags very well, I would like to know if it
is possible to
display this kind of view:

   Previous <|  |> Next


|   |
|   (body)  |
|   |



In fact I have to display a list that can have a large size and
multiple
views are required. The buttons Previous and next all to navigate
from one view to another.

Could you explain me how this type of views is managed ?

Thanks a lot

Standard output should be in stdout.log, in $CATALINA_HOME/logs...
The logs with the dates are when the commons logging interface is used,

RE: Logout in a container-managed security environment -- Follow-up

[Charles McClain]

All:

Just to close the loop:

The 404 not-found error I was receiving was coming from the Apache
webserver; when I switched to using the Tomcat servlet container
standalone, FORM-based authentication -- set up as per the advice of
those of you who replied  --  worked properly.

I *thought* that I had Apache configured to pass everything through to
Tomcat, but obviously, I have something wrong in my Apache
configuration.  I'll take a look at that in the near future.

Thanks again,

All:

I received several replies to my original question, all of which
indicated that, in order to do a forceful logout, I needed to use
FORM-based CMA rather than BASIC.  One of the replies recommended an
article on the topic, which I downloaded and read.

I implemented FORM-based authentication, making the changes to my
web.xml, indicating the login form and error page, etc.  The container
(Tomcat 4.0) seems to know that I want FORM-based authentication, since
it pops up my login page.  I did, by the way, include the fields
j_username and j_password, and my form action is j_security_check, as
per the instructions.

However, when I press the submit button, my browser gives me a 404
not-found error on the (nonexistent, of course) page j_security_check.
I've checked the Apache and Tomcat logs, and one of the Tomcat logs
tells me that it has "Configured an authenticator for method FORM", but
it still seems to be looking for a page by that name rather than
invoking the method.

Anyone have any ideas?

RE: Logout in a container-managed security environment -- Follow-up

[James Higginbotham]

Charles,

The thing to keep in mind is that you cannot call the login page
directly. Rather, you have to call a protected page, which will trigger
the login page, then will post to the j_security_check, and the
container will then forward to the protected page if the user
authenticated correctly. It seems that most containers do not register
the j_security_check directly, but rather look for it once a protected
resource has been requested. 

HTH,
James

RE: Logout in a container-managed security environment

[Charles McClain]

Mohan:

I just finished setting up container-managed FORM-based authentication
and getting it working, based on advice from several people on this
mailing list.  I'll pass on what I learned, and others can add to it or
correct my advice.  I'm assuming that you know how to set up
container-managed FORM-based authentication, and that your question only
applies to its relationship to Struts.  If that is not the case, you can
review the replies I received to my original posting, or write back and
I will provide detail.

Container-managed FORM-based authentication is separate and apart from
the Struts framework, and indeed can be applied to an application that
is not based on Struts.

When you set up FORM-based authentication, you specify a login page and
login error page.  When the user enters a URL that falls within the
 and  you specified in
your web.xml, the container takes over and pops up the login page you
specified in your  entry.

Assuming that your login page form specifies "j_security_check" as the
action, when the user hits the submit button, control passes back to the
container, which validates j_username and j_password against the
container's security realm; if they are valid, then the container passes
control to the  specified in your web.xml.  If they are
invalid, the container passes control the error page you specified.

Since this validation is performed by the container, you do NOT want a
Struts ActionForm associated with the login page, nor do you want an
Action associated with it.  If you have prep work you need performed,
you should perform it in the Action associated with your welcome page.
It will get performed when the login passes the container's validation
and the container passes control to your welcome page.

It IS useful, however, to have a  back to the login
page, so that your login error page can direct the user back to the
login page, to re-login after an error, and so that, after he logs out,
your logout confirmation page can direct him back to the login page.
Also, your login page and login error page may contain Struts tags.

Since I'm still in the process of converting my app over to FORM-based
authentication, I haven't completely worked out the interaction between
the container and Struts as far as subsequent login-checking is
concerned.  I don't think you need to check the user's login status on
your JSPs and in your actions, because I think the container will force
the user to the login page if he tries to enter the app "in the middle"
via a bookmark or something.  I will be testing this in the near future.

However, I do know that you can gain access to the username and/or role
via the Jakarta Taglib request library; for example, I originally
converted my app to container-managed BASIC authentication expressly so
that I could use the  tag to vary menu and screen
content based on the user's role.

I apologize for my incomplete knowledge, and as I said, I encourage
others to correct or add to what I have written, but since no one else
has yet replied to you, I figured you'd rather have some reply than
none.  I'll be smarter in a few days, after I've had a chance to fully
integrate the container-managed FORM-based authentication facility and
do all my testing.

It all falls under "Container-Managed Authentication".  It's just a 
different authentication method.

FORM-based authentication is what you see ... on a lot of sites :-) 
(either that or custom [roll-your-own] authentication) where you get the

login prompt in the form of an actual page.  The keys are:
- submit to action="j_security_check"
- field named "j_username"
- field named "j_password"

You would configure your security-constraints the same way you do now. 
 This is a servlet specification thing.  The only thing that you 
(should) have to change is the type of authentication (there is 
additional configuration for form-based auth - must specify login page 
and error page).  Apart from the minor differences in configuration, it 
really is as straight-forward as the above.  Note that you'll have to 
configure a realm for the container to lookup the users in.  This could 
be a flat-file, a DBMS, or JNDI resource.  Of course, you could probably

"roll your own" here too (Tomcat lets you anyway), so you're not really 
constrained to using only those provided.  For more information on

Container Managed Security With ActionForms

[Vinh Tran]

After reviewing the archives on the subject of Container Managed Security
I've concluded using ActionForms with CMS is not possible.  However, I would
like to ask the gurus of this list if in fact this is possible.

Here is what I want to do...
1. Login form that submits to an ActionForm for validation.
2. After validation occurs send it to CMS.
3a. If CMS successfully authenticates a user, forward to an Action for
post-processing.
3b. If CMS fails to authenticate, display error on Login page.

Is this possible?

Help needed uploading files

[Brett]

Hello, I know this has been discussed before but the struts site seems to be playing 
up and I cant get into it to search the list.  Anyway I am having problems getting 
files to upload to my server.  The problem I have is when I read from the InputStream 
opened from the Request I get -1.  In other words there is nothing to read.

Is there anything I have to configure with Struts so that the files in the HTML page 
are uploaded properly.  At the moment it seems as if they are not arriving correctly 
to the server.

(I have ENCTYPE set to multipart etc).

Thanks.

records at a time.  If I'm right then we're talking about some sort of
collection with a class or set of classes whose mission in life is to
provide meta-data about the collection like "Page 5 of 6", "current
selection is Record #34", etc.  It's a pattern, though I'm not sure what
you'd call it other than "paging", though unfortunately "paging" makes
people think of little electronic devices that annoy people automatically,
so there should be a better word for it.

Bottom line-- what you're talking about is something you could handle on the
front end (in Javascript or some other scripting language) or the back end
(in your Java classes that make up and service your Model), depending on
your preferences/strengths.  

What Struts provides you is the framework for passing the data between the
front and back end that shields you as much as possible from the details of
how the servlet container works.  

Sometimes you'll get rather curt answers if it sounds like you're expecting
Struts to provide features that are more high-level than that of a webapp
framework.  Don't take it personally, there are a *lot* of postings on this
newsgroup, and most of them could be handled by the posters themselves if
they simply read and understood the documentation more carefully.

Excuse me I do not understand the direction of your answer.
I already read documentation about tags offered by struts.  
For displaying a list of objects it seems that there are two possible
choices logic:iterate and nested tags.  
The problem that I meet today in the construction of my page to displaying
data several similar sights seemed me common.  
This is why I sought of the assistance on this forum.  
I find interessant very to be able to exchange our knowledge, 
and our experiments that makes it possible to reduce times of development
considerably. 
I know that the tutoriaux ones and documentation exist but the examples
given are often simple.  On the other hand the users of Struts like you and
me, build more complex cases.  

Sandra,

Hi,

I don't know HTML/Struts tags very well, I would like to know if it
is possible to
display this kind of view:

   Previous <|  |> Next


|   |
|   (body)  |
|   |



In fact I have to display a list that can have a large size and
multiple
views are required. The buttons Previous and next all to navigate
from one view to another.

Could you explain me how this type of views is managed ?

Thanks a lot

RE: indexed attribute for html tags

[Taylor, Jason]

The documentation is not so clear on this.  Basically, what happens in the
case you cite is that a request parameter will be sent to the Action class
you're submitting the form to that would look like
"?id[34].propertyName=" if it were on a query string.  
If that doesn't make sense to you, you need to dig a bit deeper and figure
out how HTTP requests and responses work.  
If it does make sense, you can see for yourself what I'm talking about by
spitting out the parameters when your Action class is invoked by the
controller and when your JSP receives the request object back from the
backend.  Then you can see how all the info is passed back and forth.

Subject: indexed attribute for html tags


I would like to use indexed attribute for some html tags to handle dynamic
html input elements (the number of input elements in the form is not fixed)

i have read the struts user guide, but unable understand what this means.
This is given for almost all html input tags

 indexed  -  Valid only inside of logic:iterate tag. If true then name of
the html tag will be rendered as "id[34].propertyName". Number in brackets
will be generated for every iteration and taken from ancestor logic:iterate
tag. (RT EXPR) 

"WHAT DOES "id[34].propertyName" MEAN

can somebody give me an example how to use this attribute. how will the
property of a form bean and its corresponding getter/setter method look like
if i want to use the indexed attribute.

for example i have this in my jsp

The test which is failing is one of the targets in the *struts* build.xml.  Does

Unable to resolve Validator DTD

[Dave Derry]

Well I guess this explains why there hasn't been any struts mail this
morning, since the Jakarta site seems to be down. Just tried to deploy the
app I'm working on and got this message:

2002-09-25 08:50:04,031 DEBUG [org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.sax]
resolveEntity('-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Validation
Configuration 1.1//EN',
'http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/validation_1_1.dtd')
2002-09-25 08:50:04,031 DEBUG [org.apache.commons.digester.Digester]  Not
registered, use system identifier

Now I realize that there are a couple of work arounds that I can use, but
most just don't seem right. What is the best work around for this situation?

Core Struts avoids this problem by 'registering' the DTDs with Digester. Why
doesn't Validator do this? Or is this more of a Xerces bug, since Validator
is setting validation to false?

Would it be acceptable for me to patch the Validator code
(ValidatorResourcesInitializer) to register the DTD? I'm not totally sure
how to do this, but I'm sure I could figure it out from the Struts core
code. I would of course submit my patch into Bugzilla for inclusion, if this
sounds like the right thing to do.

Re: Logout in a container-managed security environment -- Follow-up

[Eddie Bush]

Charles,

I don't remember the solution to this.  The guys on tomcat-user will 
probably tell you to search the archive.  The issue that arises (using 
Apache/TC) is that you have to map things you want the servlet container 
to be responsible for (unless you use mod_webapp; I do not recommend 
this approach - stick with jk).  Play around with adding a mapping for 
j_security_check.  When you figure it out, please post it here or 
directly to me :-)  I'll squirrel it off somewhere so I have it for 
reference the next time someone asks.

You might *try* looking through the TC docs before you start aimlessly 
trying different mappings.  I seem to recall Remmy changed the docs up a 
bit, and they looked much better - but I honestly do not recall if the 
solution to this problem is included nowadays.

Sorry I wasn't more help.

Re: Logout in a container-managed security environment -- Follow-up

Yeah, that's right, but I think there is something special to to be done 
so that you get j_security_check to be recognized by Apache as something 
it needs to send to Tomcat.

I asked because the email address originated from acm.org
hence I asked for clarification.

Different email lists  work in different ways.
I know with some email lists, if you wish to follow the progress of a
particular project
then you can simply choose to subscribe to  announcements only.

RE: Firewall and Struts inhibit CSS references

[James Mitchell]

The only thing you have to worry about is how your users browsers are
constructing the request for the css file.

Here's some help from Ted:

* Use rewrite to reference HTML assets *

The Struts  tag can convert a context-relative URI into a base
URI that can be used to access style sheets, JavaScripts, images and other
HTML assets. For example,



If you wanted to hedge your bets about where the style sheets will be
located, an ActionForward may also be used.



Likewise, references to JavaScripts, as well as URIs to be processed by
JavaScripts, can be rendered this way.
