RE: Logout in a container-managed security environment
Hi, I am not sure how Container-managed login security will affect Struts loginform and loginaction. How do you forward to the main screen after login in this case? bye, Mohan -Original Message- From: Eddie Bush [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2002 10:43 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Logout in a container-managed security environment 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.

Re: Help needed with ActionForm Bean
thanks for your reply, perhaps there's something I've haven't understand:
I'd like to display in my select dropdown data that come from a
database... where should I get this data from the DB this should be done
before the call of the getXXX method of the ActionForm when.
Should I use an action where I get data from the DB and forward it to
the action associated with the jsp page containing the form?? is it the
way to do it?
Vincent
Galbreath, Mark wrote:
It's magic.
Seriously, your getters and setters in your ActionForm bean correspond to
the HTML input fields in your JSP. So if you have a select dropdown in the
JSP called state, in some HTML form for collecting personal information
you could have
private state = ;
public void setState( String state) {
this.state = state;
}
public String getState() {
return state;
}
in your Action form. In order to make Struts aware of this bean, you must
declare in your struts-config.xml file and have an action path mapped from
your JSP to an Action class that will manipulate the bean values that are
set by Struts:
form-bean name=PersonalInfoForm
type=com.whatever.PersonInfoForm /
action path=/personalInfo
type=com.whatever.GetPersonalInfoAction
name=PersonalInfoForm
scope=session
validate=true
parameter=isNew
forward name=success path=/personalInfo.jsp /
forward name=error path=/errors.jsp /
/action
So this associates your bean with your JSP and your ActionClass. When your
user goes to http://yoursite/personalInfo.do (depending on the mapping in
your web.xml), personalInfo.jsp will be invoked and the rendered HTML
displayed. After the user fills out the form and submits (for example, the
form action is /reviewPersonalInfo which will display everything the user
just entered), the following action path is invoked:
action path=/reviewPersonalInfo
type=com.whatever.SavePersonalInfoAction
name=PersonalInfoForm
input=/PersonalInfo.jsp
scope=session
validate=true
parameter=isError
forward name=success path=/reviewPersonalInfo.jsp /
forward name=error path=/personalInfo.jsp /
/action
and reviewPersonalInfo.jsp will appear to display the information contained
in your bean through the use of Struts tags. At this point you can also
access the bean's state in your Action class through the form object to save
it to a database or whatever.
Okay?

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

RE: Logout in a container-managed security environment
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 security-constraint and web-resource-collection you specified in your web.xml, the container takes over and pops up the login page you specified in your login-config 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 welcome-page 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 global-forward 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 req:isUserInRole 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. -- Charlie -Original Message- From: Mohan Radhakrishnan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 3:09 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Logout in a container-managed security environment Hi, I am not sure how Container-managed login security will affect Struts loginform and loginaction.

RE: Struts tags for display a collection of views
I think you're talking about paging through a dataset a certain number of 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. -JT -Original Message- From: Heligon Sandra [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 12:35 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Struts tags for display a collection of views Excuse me I do not understand the direction of your answer.

RE: indexed attribute for html tags
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.

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
logic:iterate id=reviewer name=revFormTeamVO property=reviewers
html:text indexed=true property=mail_id_v size=10 value=//TD
/logic:iterate
i have the form bean property mail_id_v declared as
private String[] mail_id_v;
public String getMail_id_v(int index) {
return this.mail_id_v[index];
}
public void setMail_id_v(int index, String mail_id_v) {
this.mail_id_v[index] = mail_id_v;
}
But this does not work, i get an error, No getter method for property
mail_id_v
any help will be appreciated

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. James Higginbotham wrote: 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.

RE: Firewall and Struts inhibit CSS references
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 html:rewrite 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, LINK rel=stylesheet type=text/css HREF=html:rewrite page='/assets/styles/base.css'/ If you wanted to hedge your bets about where the style sheets will be located, an ActionForward may also be used. LINK rel=stylesheet type=text/css HREF=html:rewrite forward='baseStyle'/ Likewise, references to JavaScripts, as well as URIs to be processed by JavaScripts, can be rendered this way. SCRIPT language='javascript' SRC='html:rewrite page=/assets/scripts/remote.js/' /SCRIPT SCRIPT !-- function doScript(aScript) aBase = 'html:rewrite forward=scriptPreview/'; HC_doOpenRemote(aBase + '?script=' + aScript); } // -- /SCRIPT In the latter example, we retrieve the base URI for the JavaScript function from an ActionForward and then append the script number based to the function. This type of function would usually be called from a hyperlink like this: A HREF='javascript:doScript(10011)'10011/A that was generated using JSP code like this: A HREF='javascript:doScript(bean:write name=row property=script/)' bean:write name=row property=script/ /A Since we are calling a JavaScript function, we did not bother with a html:link tag to provide URL encoding. The hyperlink will be handled client-side so maintaining the session is not an issue. The URI generated by the rewrite tag, and subsequently used by the Javascript, will be URL encoded, so that the session will be maintained if cookies are not present. HTH - Ted.

It never even makes it to the servlet container, much less the struts action servlet. Would it be possible that somehow the environment of the servlet or container indirectly affects the processing of the CSS link ref ? I'm asking this because when the file has a .html suffix it works fine, but with a .jsp suffix the CSS file is not applied. Also, when the URL path to the page is requested (i.e. .../test.jsp) it works fine. Its only when an action forwards to the .jsp file that the CSS file is not found/applied to the .jsp. You should consult the firewall documentation or try a bit more debugging with your firewall software. I run a very restrictive firewall on my home server and it handles .css just fine. The firewall in our case is not at the server end. The user's machine is behind a firewall looking at the outside world where the server is. When the user's machine is not behind a firewall the CSS file is applied to the .jsp and the page is rendered fine. Thanks for any info.

Re: Logout in a container-managed security environment
There are *many* posts on precisely how CMA works on this list and on others (tomcat-user being one). I'll give a quick overview and you can STMA for additional comments. - login forced when user request restricted resource - forwards to request resource on authentication - shows error page on failed authentication - unable to directly implement a let-based login - CMA login form may not be called directly - CMA login form only invoked when restricted resource is requested You *can* work-around the force-based login, and provide a redirect to wherever you wish in the process. What I have done to implement this is: - Two login forms - one submits to j_security_check - NEVER call this form directly! ONLY The container may invoke it! - grabs credentials out of session and fills out form - contains javascript for auto-submit if required data present - one submits to a struts action (non-restricted) - copies request parameters to session - REDIRECTS to a restricted redirect action - Call the non-CMA form directly - User submits form/Action does it's thing - Redirect action is restricted, so it invokes CMA login form - Once authenticated the user goes to the Redirect action - cleans up the session (remove credentials we put there earlier) , if present - grabs a parameter indicating the path to redirect to - redirects the user Voila! It's absolutely *essential* to have redirects where I specified (in contrast to forwards), as you will not acheive the desired behavior (invoking CMA) if you do not. The specification allows you to forward anywhere you want to without the container caring where you are forwarding to (this is why you can put your pages under WEB-INF). The end result is that if you wish to let your users login before requesting a restricted resource, you can. If they don't, and they access a restricted resource, they are prompted to. It's really not that bad :-) Mohan Radhakrishnan wrote: Hi, I am not sure how Container-managed login security will affect Struts loginform and loginaction.

RE: [Validator] What the #@$!!@# am I doing wrong?
Never mind. This is what happens when you look at old documentation. On
Dave's web site, in the doc for Validator, there is an example of defining a
constant like this -
constant name=myConstant value=myValue /
This does not work! The correct format (from Chuck's book) is
constant
constant-namemyConstant/constant-name
constant-valuemyValue/constant-value
/constant
which works like it should.

Re: Accessing the Commons Logging Interface
Before You Start
If you're planning to use Log4J as your logging implementation, grab
a fresh copy of commons-logging from the commons site and install it.
There were issues with the JAR included in the 1.1 bx distributions
that cause ... problems :-)
Doing the Nasty With commons-logging:
package com.foo;
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
public class Bar
{
private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(Bar.class);
public void baz()
{
...
if (log.isDebugEnabled())
log.debug(W00T!);
}
}
That really is it. There is some property config you could possibly
need if you're using Log4J under JDK1.4. You didn't say much about your
environment, so I'll leave this out for now.

problem getting indexed property values
Hello, I'm having a hard time getting the value of an indexed property to my Action classes. Essentially, on my JSP I've got html:select property=nestedClass.nestedBeans[x].value size=1 html:options ... / /html:select where nestedClass is (of course) a nested class within my ActionForm class, and nestedBeans is an array of beans with an attribute value. What's perplexing to me is that the correct values are coming up in my JSP page (so my syntax must be correct). After I submit the form, though, every bean in nestedBeans is reset to 'null'. I have a custom reset function in the ActionForm, and it does not reset nestedClass or any of it's values. Has anyone run into similar problems? I can include code if it would help.

Re: Help needed with ActionForm Bean
Try pre-populating the form i.e create the form, set its variables, put it
into the request, forward to the JSP.
For instance you have:
PageA.jsp
ProcessPageA_Action.java
ActionFormA.java
In the Action before you display PageA.jsp, create an instance of the
ActionFormA class, set the select box variable and whatever else you need.
Then put the ActionFormA object into the session/request under the key you
specified in the struts-config.xml. When PageA.jsp loads, Struts will find
the FormBean in the session/request using the key in the struts-config.xml
and populate the JSP from those values.

Should I use an action where I get data from the DB and forward it to

way to do it?

It's magic.
Seriously, your getters and setters in your ActionForm bean correspond
to
the HTML input fields in your JSP. So if you have a select dropdown in
the
JSP called state, in some HTML form for collecting personal
information
you could have
private state = ;
public void setState( String state) {
this.state = state;
}
public String getState() {
return state;
}
in your Action form. In order to make Struts aware of this bean, you
must
declare in your struts-config.xml file and have an action path mapped
from
your JSP to an Action class that will manipulate the bean values that
are
set by Struts:
form-bean name=PersonalInfoForm
type=com.whatever.PersonInfoForm /
action path=/personalInfo
type=com.whatever.GetPersonalInfoAction
name=PersonalInfoForm
scope=session
validate=true
parameter=isNew
forward name=success path=/personalInfo.jsp /
forward name=error path=/errors.jsp /
/action
So this associates your bean with your JSP and your ActionClass. When
your
user goes to http://yoursite/personalInfo.do (depending on the mapping
in
your web.xml), personalInfo.jsp will be invoked and the rendered HTML
displayed. After the user fills out the form and submits (for example,
the
form action is /reviewPersonalInfo which will display everything the
user
just entered), the following action path is invoked:
action path=/reviewPersonalInfo
type=com.whatever.SavePersonalInfoAction
name=PersonalInfoForm
input=/PersonalInfo.jsp
scope=session
validate=true
parameter=isError
forward name=success path=/reviewPersonalInfo.jsp /
forward name=error path=/personalInfo.jsp /
/action
and reviewPersonalInfo.jsp will appear to display the information
contained
in your bean through the use of Struts tags. At this point you can also
access the bean's state in your Action class through the form object to
save
it to a database or whatever.
Okay?

RE: The right place/time to clean up a session before session tim e out, or user logoff
I think I may have been a little unclear in my explanation. I have a system of object for security checking. The only object that is used in the web part of my application is a proxy to my User objects. This proxy also implements the HttpSessionBindingListener interface. In the valueUnbound() method, I call to my logic bean that handles the logout actions with a reference to the proxied object. This is the only place I call the logout logic from with the web portion of the application. The (struts based) LogoutAction I created does nothing but invalidate the session. This causes the valueUnbound method to be called. This chains to the logout logic. When the session times out on its own, the valueUnbound method is also called, hence, the logout logic again is called. Sorry if I didn't explain that clearly before. _ Jason, Your solution covers the log off case. How about session time out, say, a user leave a page of the application and browse another site. There isn't log off action in this case.

RE: Validator and DynaValidatorForm
While I can't help you with the DynaValidator stuff, the arg0, arg1 are used to pass
strings into your error messages. For example the error message for maxlength is
errors.maxlength={0} can not be greater then {1} characters.
arg0 is replaced for the {0} and likewise with arg1 for {1}
Thus when you have the following in your validation.xml:
fieldproperty=lastName
depends=required,maxlength
arg0 key=registrationForm.lastname.displayname/
arg1 name=maxlength key=${var:maxlength} resource=false/
var
var-namemaxlength/var-name
var-value10/var-value
/var
/field
and your ApplicationResources.properties:
registrationForm.lastname.displayname=Last name
Your error message would be
Last name can not be greater then 10 characters.

Re: Logout in a container-managed security environment
Charles McClain wrote: 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 security-constraint and web-resource-collection you specified in your web.xml, the container takes over and pops up the login page you specified in your login-config 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 welcome-page 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. You could get creative in your approach to this. If my other post ever hits the list you'll see an outline for how you can do so. I *believe* I, at one point, had my login/error pages specified as actions, actually. I ... can't recall why I went back to JSPs. I think I was having some stupid errors that had to do with my tripping through my config (accidental key-in errors) - I believe you should be able to use actions to refer to your login/error pages. Try it :-) If it doesn't work, scratch it. It IS useful, however, to have a global-forward 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. You really should have no direct reference to the CMA-oriented login page whatsoever. You do not have the ability to invoke it directly. 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 req:isUserInRole tag to vary menu and screen content based on the user's role. Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits (that I see) of CMA over roll-your-own approaches. There are, however, roll-your-own approaches which can provide this same functionality. You could take a look at securityfilter.sourceforge.net for one possible alternative. It requires a container to be servlet spec 2.3 compliant (filters are a 2.3 thing), but allows you to actually include your realm in your application - and would be a container-independent realm solution. Most containers will let you roll-your-own realm (I believe - I know for certain Tomcat does, and understand that others will, as well). Whichever way you go, it's still make-based login (authentication is done by the container, in response to the user requesting a restricted resource). To get let-based logins, you have to either do something creative, as I've suggested, or resort to implementing your own security (authentication) service. Of course, if you implement your own ... I'm not aware of how you could override isUserInRole() etc. I think there are approaches to this using Filters though. 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.

form validation text coloring question
I would like to have our form change text color of field labels to red if they are required fields that were not filled out when the form was submitted (a common feature of forms). Currently, we are doing custom validation that sets a flag. The JSP checks this flag in logic:present tags and creates the a font/font wrapper around the field label that sets the text color to red. This is quite cumbersome as it puts a lot of logic tags into the code. The html:errors does not work since it just adds additional text and it can't wrap existing text.

RE: EJB / was Struts and high performance sites

An additional comment on EJB performance. As is (regrettably) sometimes my style, I was a little harsh. EJBs, like any code in any language - even the Struts core classes, can be coded abysmally and badly design algorithms can slow execution of any routine/method to a crawl. Further, the efficiency of the container is also critical. For example, we started this project using JRun 3.1 and a documented memory leak kept forcing us to reboot the server every 24 hours (session beans were not being garbage collected; Allair says this has been fixed in 4.0). The ever-decreasing amount of available memory made the app run at a snail's pace towards the end of these cycles. We changed to BEA's WebLogic 6.1SP2 and the app flies again - we have only needed to reboot the server to accomodate new builds. Mark -Original Message- From: Peter A. J.

You can make SessionBeans pass back RowSet, or HashSet or DataTransferMaps of the rows of the database table instead.

RE: Logout in a container-managed security environment
Eddie: Thanks for adding on to my reply. As regards your statement in reference to role-based menu and screen variation, Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits (that I see) of CMA over 'roll-your-own' approaches, let me add another consideration: I've worked on a number of commercial webapps that had roll-your-own authentication embedded throughout the application. Invariably, business clients who purchase these webapps want to wrap them in their own portal or otherwise re-brand them.. As I'm sure you know, portal or wrapper-application users will almost always have already been authenticated, and it simply isn't an option for the webapp being wrapped to require a 2nd login. Depending on the specifics of the roll-your-own authentication scheme and how it's embedded, it can be VERY difficult to pass the portal's or wrapper's user object -- and possibly role object -- through to the wrapped application and not force the user to re-login. Since you as a software vendor can never know to whom you're going to be selling your app, you can't know in advance what portal or wrapper-application authentication schemes you're going to have to adapt to. If you use CMA, however: -- You can transparently adapt to whatever percentage of portals or wrappers also use CMA; -- You can cite industry literature recommending CMA as the preferred authentication method, making your position much more defensible; -- Even if, worst case, you have to adapt to the portal's or wrapper-application's authentication scheme, the fact that there are standards for CMA make it likely that you will have to do less work than if you invent your own authentication and role scheme. -Original Message- From: Eddie Bush [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 2:11 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Logout in a container-managed security environment Charles McClain wrote: 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 security-constraint and web-resource-collection you specified in your web.xml, the container takes over and pops up the login page you specified in your login-config 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 welcome-page 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. You could get creative in your approach to this. If my other post ever hits the list you'll see an outline for how you can do so. I *believe* I, at one point, had my login/error pages specified as actions, actually. I ... can't recall why I went back to JSPs. I think I was having some stupid errors that had to do with my tripping through my config (accidental key-in errors) - I believe you should be able to use actions to refer to your login/error pages. Try it :-) If it doesn't work, scratch it. It IS useful, however, to have a global-forward 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. You really should have no direct reference to the CMA-oriented login page whatsoever. You do not have the ability to invoke it directly. 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.

Re: Struts Authentication Filter
Several options: 1. use the filter-mapping element to map your filter to the url patterns you want protected. I haven't tried multiple mappings but I put all protected pages under a /secure directory and mapped it like this: filter-mapping filter-nameauthenticationFilter/filter-name url-pattern/secure/*/url-pattern /filter-mapping 2. use the filter's init parameter but put a comma delimited list of pages in it. then parse the list in your filter: (i think something like this) filter filter-nameauthenticationFilter/filter-name filter-classAuthenticationFilter/filter-class init-param param-namefiles/param-name param-value/myjsp.jsp,/secure/file2.jsp/param-value init-param /filter 3. use the init param to tell your filter the location of a file that contains the list of urls to protect. Then your filter would read the file and act like number 2. Personally, I would go with number 1.

Re: Struts Authentication Filter
Mark, Check out my SecurityFilter project: http://securityfilter.sourceforge.net/ The other alternative that I would suggest is using container-managed security. SecurityFilter is designed to mimic container managed security, so it is easy to switch back and forth if you aren't ready to decide which approach to take. The behavior is essentially the same, and the config file format is also extremely similar (so you can cut and paste your security settings between the two when switching). -Max - Original Message - From: Mark Silva [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Struts Users Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 12:03 PM Subject: Struts Authentication Filter hello all, I am attempting to write an Authentication Filter (Servlet Filter) for my Stuts App. It is pretty simple so far. it just checks to see if a User has Authenticated yet (from the session), and if not calls sendRedirect on the response. code and xml below public void doFilter... ...

Re: multiple sub projects
This is one of the pices of sub-apps that some of us dislike :-) I believe it was Martin Cooper who responded to me by saying that they wanted to see how people were using sub-apps before they made any decisions about changing behavior. The behavior he and I discussed (and what it sounds as though you would like, as well) would be for the default sub-app to be treated as a framework on which the other modules were hung. This view holds the default sub-application as the final place to go for config data. So, if it were adopted at-large, your application would look for it's configuration first in the sub-app config and then go to the default sub-app before deciding something was in error. There are many reasons this should be done, I believe. For one, it helps normalize things such as actions and global forwards, so you really only have to have one copy of actions that only need one copy. Otherwise, you would, at minimum, have a reference to one action class in N different modules. I haven't looked, but I strongly suspicion that each sub-app would actually have it's own instance of the action class in question. That seems wasteful to me. Would you like to start thinking about data-sources? :-) Think about your pool configuration and how you have no good way to set limits on it now. Personally, I think the intelligent thing to do (IMHO) is to have the default sub-app act like that framework above, and have all sub-apps seek their config in their own config-space, but also then go check the default sub-app config-space. In other words: Make the configuration present in the default sub-app global to all sub-apps. I hope the committers agree with me on this!

RE: multiple sub projects
I think Eddie's right, with the only question being do you have levels of inheritance? Does /foo/bar/baz app inherit first from /foo/bar or does it just get /foo? On the other hand, if this question were seen as more a distraction than a useful discussion, I'd say table it for 1.1, and use the algorithm Eddie suggests. The way I manage the classes right now is to have the different sub-apps be part of one package structure, so that a common set can be reused by others sub-apps, and I do the same with jsps, using the contextRelative attribute of the forward node in struts-config-xxx.xml with relative links to shared jsps. Images, css and js files are referred to using property keys, so the only things I'm really duplicating are properties and struts-config.xml settings. I looked back through the mail archive and the reason for keeping the properties configs totally separate was to avoid serious problems with the complexity of cross-dependencies. My take is that if your sub-apps are being used to maintain separate, subtly different versions of a large application, the problems with sub-app redundancy outweigh the worries of cross-dependencies. Especially so once you have a product working for one client, and a second wants almost the same thing-- it would be nice to extend/reuse the first version without touching the code/JSPs/media that are working already. Basically, it makes the framework much more scalable in a certain, important way to institute some mechanism that allows for property/config inheritance. Lots of people are going to implement their own home-grown mechanisms to do the same thing at build time otherwise.

Here are some suggestions: - Have a struts-answers mailing list. If I found a discussion interesting - such as the one on container managed security - I could simply forward it to the answers list. The cost of asking a question could be to compile the answers and submit it to the list. This could be a cheap way of getting better documentation. - A struts-beginners list might be a good idea too. Sometimes the blind are not all that bad at leading the blind. - One could also consider having a struts-tags list.

The cost of asking a question could be to compile the answers and submit it to the list. This could be a cheap way of getting better documentation. - A struts-beginners list might be a good idea too.

I don't think high traffic lists are efficient for several reasons: - Questions are repeated, partly because it is hard to find the answers in the archives. - One reason why there are a lot of questions is that documentation is lacking. What I wanted to suggest was one method of collecting answers in a cheap fashion. - I realize that pressing delete is easy.

Remember that Struts is still in beta; documentation always lags behind development.

RE: all this traffic
I think the archive has a wealth of information. It would be great if it was organized such that, it was very easy to search for the needed information. In fact a lot of the documentation needs would be reduced if only the archive was better organized. Some of the things that could be done is classification of information in the archives, having a single solution page for a question that has been asked multiple times, maybe requiring a certain template for all posts made to the list, so that the posts could be more easily classified etc. -Original Message- From: Galbreath, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 6:02 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: all this traffic Remember that Struts is still in beta; documentation always lags behind development.

RE: all this traffic
I fully agree. There is a LOT of interesting reading, and I also press delete at times. The project has a lot of documentation and tutorials given that it is a beta. As we can all see, there are a lot of questions being posed. What I wanted to suggest was a cheap way to sift out/compile the answers. It would be nice to have better searching etc, but this takes some effort. In some sense I think the person who asked the question is the one who can best summarize the answers obtained, simply by the fact that he posed the question. I did not mean to start a long thread on this, it was simply a suggestion.

Just added to validator, you can get access to the form from a validation
rule by putting Validator in the method signature. For example:
public static boolean validateLastNameIsBob(Object bean,
Field field,
Validator validator) {
Object form = validator.getResource(validator.BEAN_KEY);
String lastName = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(form, lastName);
if (lastName.equals(Bob) return true;
return false;
}
If you look in the unit tests for Validator, you can see a requiredif
validation I wrote that does generic cross-field validations (i.e., last
name is required if first name is filled in). I'll be submitting as an
enhancement for Struts Validator soon.

[OT] RE: all this traffic
You get right to the point don't you Mark :-) ? I think online forums are much easier to use than mailing lists because they're easier to search for previous questions and you can easily ignore uninteresting topics. However, one practice I like is the use of [OT] to designate clearly off topic threads like this one. I filter those mails to a different folder for convenience; I wish more people used that convention. Ironically this thread is only increasing the amount of traffic.

Using Struts for JMX web client
Hi, I need to develop a Web client for a JMX application so that users can admin the JMX application remotely. I would like to know if I should use Struts as the web framework. My understanding is each page has a Form Bean, but there are MBeans in the JMX application. So are they redundant? will it be unnecessary overhead? Or they are for different purpose? Or should I just use the JMX tag library here: http://www.servletsuite.com/servlets/jmxtag.htm Thanks for any help. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

RE: Using Struts for JMX web client
Yep. Different purpose. The ActionForm exists to capture the text input of a user from the submitted request parameters, and should there be validation errors the form can be presented to users again (with appropriate error messages) and the fields will contain the information that the user had typed in previously. ActionForms are useful for one or two other things as well, but they are distinctly a part of the view and not the model. -Original Message- From: Takumi Fujiwara [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2002 11:58 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Using Struts for JMX web client Hi, I need to develop a Web client for a JMX application so that users can admin the JMX application remotely.

How to return changes made on a JSP iteration of object properties to the Action Class
Hello, I am creating an ArrayList of GridDetermination objects in session scope. I sent this to a JSP which displays the arraylist properties. I then can make changes to a property and hit submit, but when the action gets the arraylist back (via the session.getAttribute) the changes are not there. The ArrayList is the same as when I sent it. Is there a step in the JSP that I am missing, like a setProperty, etc..., that will store the changes into the ArrayList in the session scope? Can anyone tell me how I can send an ArrayList of objects, iterate through it to create a table on the web page, allow changes to each property, then return that change to the Action class where I can perform operations based upon the change?
