Exception Handling with Struts 1.02
I've just read Chuck's Chapter about Exception Handling (O'reilly Struts
Book).
Now I am trying to accomplish what he suggested.
Unfortunately I am forced to used Struts 1.02.
return mapping.getInput(); didn't work - it gives back a String,
but my Action class needs to return an ActionForward. (Struts 1.02).
So I tried it that way:
return mapping.findForward(mapping.getInput() );
But this neither worked.
Now I am using:
return mapping.findForward(error);
and in my struts-config I got a forward to the input page.
This works, but the error(s) don't get thrown, it just forwards to the
same page, but doesn't print
the error(s).
Someone with an appropiate example using Struts 1.02 or any suggestions
how to solve this ?
thx in advance,
marcus
Attached is my code:
public class MyAction extends Action {
public ActionForward perform(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response){
[...]
[...]
[...]
catch (SQLException e){
System.err.println(e);
e.printStackTrace();
System.err.println(SQLState: + e.getSQLState());
System.err.println(ErrorCode: + e.getErrorCode());
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
if (e.getErrorCode()==1){
errors.add(SQLException, new
ActionError(error.group.exists) );
}
else {
errors.add(SQLException, new
ActionError(error.fatal.SQLException) );
}
return mapping.findForward(error);
[...]
[...]

logic-match/compare multiple values
Hi,
We need to match a report ID from one of the scopes with a set of
integers. Now logic-match example compares with single values.
Do I have to use struts-el for this ? Are there examples of logic-match
to do this ?
The JSTL code that doesn't seem to work is
c:if test= ${sessionScope.reportBean.reportID 39 and
sessionScope.reportBean.reportID 60}
/c:if
reportBean is the variable name put in one of the scopes.
reportID has a matching getter method.

Re: StrutsTestCase + overriding setUp without calling super.setUp()ERROR
You need to call super.setUp() before super(testname) .
I found that adding the following code:
public void setUp() {
try{
super.setUp();
}
catch(Exception e){
}
}
made it work correctly.

Back button without getting Page expired
Hi, I've tried I don't know how many things but everytime something goes wrong. Main question is: how can I get back from an errorpage to a previous page (that results from a POST) without getting a Page expired? I have to set nocache to true, because some of my Actions aren't executed because they or their URL's are cached. The consequence is that the back-button on my errorpage results in a Page expired. This because it a javascript:history.back(). I cannot use GET instead of POST, because then I lose my parameters and have to do a lot of coding to fix that and I don't have time. How can I code the back button? I really would appreciate it if someone could help me out with this. L.

I am reproducing part of the error below. java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.TreeMap$Entry at _web_22dinf._jsp._mycraft__jsp._jspService(/WEB-INF/jsp/mycraft.jsp:26) I understand that while using a TreeMap, the values returned are part of the Inner class Entry. But why should this give me an error here? My logic iterate looks like: snip logic:iterate id=bookmark name=user property=bookmarks type=java.util.TreeMap tr td bean:define id=bookmarkID name=bookmark property=bookmark.key/ /snip where user is the bean that contains a TreeMap property of bookmarks. Any help appreciated. Regards, Vikram -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe;jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:struts-user-help;jakarta.apache.org

Re: Back button without getting Page expired
I use ActionError but I want to show errors (that are no validation errors) thrown by a backoffice on a separate errorpage. Since I don't know which Action results in an error to the errorpage, I cannot redirect to that Action. At least I don't know how. That's why I try to send them back to the previous page from where they can correct the error. I lose parameters with GET, because when I ask request.getParameter(..) it gives me null. Isn't there a way to redirect to the previous page, without doing history.back()?

On the other hand I try to avoid errorpage as good as I can, and handle my errors with ActionError and Exception.

RE: struts concerns
What is the advantage of using struts taglib to declare Form and other presentation related tags over std. Html?? I'm not familiar with STD (not in this context, anyway :-). But a couple of the benefits of the Struts HTML taglib over straight HTML are: 1) Form element repopulation - If you have an error occur after your form is submitted -- validation, exception, whatever -- Struts will repopulate the original form with the values entered in by the user. 2) MVC - Struts is an MVC implementation, and a good one. The benefits of this should, IMHO, be obvious. 3) I18N - Using the Struts HTML taglibs allows for your web app to easily be internationalized. Don't get me wrong, though.

RE: [OT] Where can I find a Struts / J2EE Jobs?
Khalid, This is all just common sense really, but it helped me when I was laid off at the end of June (BTW, I was working again in five weeks, and as much as I'd like to think that I'm a rock star, I think I was monumentally lucky)... However, if it can help you or someone else on the list... I live in Colorado and as I said, I was laid off from a telecom company at the end of June... I found my new job through a Yahoo job board (specifically the Rocky Mountain Internet Users' Group Job board - which you won't care about given that you live in the UK...). Anyway, here's what I learned: - There seem to be a lot of job bots out there. My current employer didn't post the opening on the board where I found it. They posted it on Dice from where it was eventually scraped. I personally didn't have much luck with the big job sites (Monster, Dice, etc.). There didn't seem to be very many postings there, and they seemed to be fairly stale/stagnant. OTOH, smaller, more informal job boards seemed to have a steady trickle of new postings. - Keywords, keywords, keywords! My employer received 800 resumes (or for those of you across the pond, CVs) for my position. They eliminated 90% of those without even looking at them (they used keyword search software). Companies are having to do this because of the ratio of available positions to available candidates. They then did phone pre-screenings with the remaining 80 people, and eventually met about 10 of those 80 in person. The second page of my resume contains all my technical skills, and is very keyword rich. You're up against a lot of other candidates, so make sure you can get through the filtering software by including everything you know on your resume (all the acronyms, tools, etc.). - Observe protocol. You're right, its an employer's market right now, and employers can be picky, so observe all the courtesies, etc. I learned this in the so you've been shitcanned class that my previous employer most graciously sent us to after having us vacate the building in 45 minutes or less (The politically correct term was Career transition class... :-) ), and the people who interviewed me at my new employer told me that they were impressed by it. If you get an interview, send personalized thank you letters (good paper, etc.) to everyone you talk to, etc. It just helps you stand out. As I said, its all common sense, but if it helps... Best of luck...

Khalid, I am assuming by across the Atlantic you are referring to the United States. The job market/outlook in the US for high tech/software/hardware is still pretty poor. There are some pockets where jobs can be found in the US, but overall, our unemployment rate nationally is still sitting just under 7%, with some harder hit local areas, such as Dallas, TX, sitting closer to 8%. That doesn't sound high until you take into consideration before the high tech job fallout in 2000, our unemployment rate was below 3%. Also, unless you are currently a green card holder or US citizen, you would need to find an employer to sponsor you for an H1-B visa, which is the US equivalent of a work permit. It's not something you can obtain yourself, you must have an employer who has agreed to hire you apply for you. Right now, few US employers are sponsoring H1-B visa applicants, due to both the higher unemployment rate, and the legal requirements an employer is required to comply with to demonstrate that no US citizen was qualified/available for the position. And that is not taking into account the heightened sensitivity many companies have to bringing non-US citizens into the US after the events of Sept 11, 2001.

Struts Tags vs. JSTL
My team is interested in using the JSTL as it offers several advantages (standardization, container optimization, expression language, potential future tools, etc.). Until now, we've strictly been using the Struts custom tags (and a few that we extended). These are the guidelines I want to setup for our developers: 1) If a tag's functionality is duplicated in both the JSTL and Struts, use the JSTL version. In the long run, it will probably deprecate the Struts tag. 2) For tags tied directly to the Struts framework (e.g. html:errors, html:javascript, etc.), use the Struts version (for obvious reasons). Does this make sense? Have others done this? One thing I was hoping to put together for our team was a cross-reference of tags between the JSTL and the Struts tag libraries. This cross-reference would contain information about which tags provide duplicate functionality, which tags are tied to the Struts framework, etc. Has anyone seen something like this?

RE: Struts Tags vs. JSTL
The nightly build has exactly what you are looking for in the contrib folder. Here is the readme: Struts-EL extension === Introduction This subproject is an extension of the Struts tag library. Each JSP custom tag in this library is a subclass of an associated tag in the Struts tag library. One difference is that this tag library does not use rtexprvalues, it uses the expression evaluation engine in the JSP Standard Tag Library (version 1.0) to evaluate attribute values. In addition, some of the Struts tags were not ported to this library, as it was determined that their functionality was entirely supplied by the JSTL. These particular Struts tags, and the reason for their non-porting will be described in the documentation for this library. In order to fully understand the correct utilization of this library, you must understand the use and operation of the Struts tag library, and the use and operation of the JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (hereafter called the JSTL), along with the expression language (sometimes called the EL) used for evaluating attribute values. Tag Mapping --- In implementing the Struts-EL library, every Struts tag that provides a feature that is not covered by the JSTL (1.0) library is mapped into the Struts-EL library. This section reviews which Struts tags are NOT implemented in the Struts-EL library, and which JSTL tags provide that feature. Many of the non-porting decisions were based on the fact that the JSTL expression language itself provides the same functionality. In those cases, in addition to a possible JSTL tag name, the symbol EL will be listed. Bean Tag Library Tags NOT Implemented in Struts-EL -- Struts TagJSTL Tag -- cookie c:set, EL define c:set, EL header c:set, EL include c:import parameter c:set, EL write c:out Logic Tag Library Tags NOT Implemented in Struts-EL -- Struts TagJSTL Tag -- empty c:if, c:when, EL equal c:if, c:when, EL greaterEqualc:if, c:when, EL greaterThan c:if, c:when, EL lessEqual c:if, c:when, EL lessThanc:if, c:when, EL notEmptyc:if, c:when, EL notEqualc:if, c:when, EL notPresent c:if, c:when, EL present c:if, c:when, EL Html Tag Library Tags NOT Implemented in Struts-EL -- None (all of them were ported). Attribute Mapping - At this point of the implementation, there is only one change (to two similar tags) to the set of attributes between the Struts tags, and the Struts-EL tags. The logic:match and logic:notMatch tags have an additional attribute named expr, which can take any value, and will be used as the value to compare against, in addition to the choices of cookie, header, name/property, and parameter. Usage Requirements -- The Struts-EL tag library requires the use of the Struts tag library, and the Java Server Pages Standard Tag Library. It is not necessary for JSP pages using the Struts-EL tag library to also use the Struts tags or the JSTL tags, but the Struts and JSTL tag libraries need to be part of the application utilizing the Struts-EL tag library. This is because the Struts-EL tag classes are all subclasses of Struts tag classes, and their implementation uses classes provided by the JSTL.

The problem is that it seems to me that OJB doesn't like this and since it is old classes I can't easily change the names without affecting other systems that i rather doesn't touch if I can avoid this. Is there a way to keep my propertiesname in the current form so that I can reuse the classes as the are? The error message is last in the message.

file upload + WebSphere 4.0 - IOException while reading file element
I apologize if this is answered elsewhere in the list. I couldn't find a similar entry. I am using WebSphere 4.0 with Struts 1.0.2. I am trying to upload files (multiple files per request) and am having problems. Very small files seem to work fine (10k). However, large files (50k) fail - before it reaches any code in my Action class. The following are the messages that are thrown in the servlet log. [Servlet LOG]: action: Populating bean properties from this request Servlet Error: IOException while reading file element: Premature end of stream while reading multipart request: java.io.IOException: Premature end of stream while reading multipart request Is there a known defect that is causing this problem, or a setting that I have missed? If file upload isn't working in this configuration, is there a known work-around where I could implement my own DiskMultipartRequestHandler and simply avoid the File elements, and use another approach to handle the uploaded files (such as Marsh?). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

AW: Fetching Data Using Struts!!!
Hey Yadnesh, that's pretty easy. You just keep a List in your form bean, containing the java beans, which keep the data for each line. In the JSP you just iterate over that List, accessing the beans. I'm doing that all the day... Did you take a look in the tutorials? Regards, Bernhard -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Yadnesh Chonkar [mailto:ychonkar;NEXGENIX.com] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 14.

RE still a problem: RE: StrutsTestCase + overriding setUp without calling super.setUp() ERROR
Still the same problem here, he's still complaining that i'm overriding
setUp() but that I have to implement super.setUp(), but you can see
clearly in my code that I implement that method.
Anyone with other suggestions??? I'm using Intellij 3.0 to run my unit
test, but al my other unit tests run fine with it so I don't see the
problem here.
Thx

You need to call super.setUp() before super(testname) .
I found that adding the following code:
public void setUp() {
try{ super.setUp(); } catch(Exception e){ } }
made it work correctly.

I get the error (see at the end of the page) that I'm overriding the

Opening PDF file: Problem and Solution
Has anyone had any difficulties with opening a PDF file byte stream in a browser using sub-apps? We got it working but are still unclear as to exactly the reason. Up front I'll mention that we are using sub-applications. We had an action which places a PDF file in the form of a byte[] out on the ServletOutputStream. For some reason the file would not display in the Acrobat plugin. The IE dialog to open or save the file would instead appear. At this point we were able to save the PDF to the client machine, but still remained with the problem of not being able to view the PDF in IE. Now trying this same thing using just a default app worked fine. But we had to make it work using a sub-app. Now comes the confusing part. Streaming out JPEG and Word files worked just fine in our sub-app. Of course, for all three files we are setting the appropriate contentType on the response. We then thought that there might be a problem with the sub-app's configuration. We noticed that in the struts config file, through the controller element, we were setting the contentType to text/html. For some reason, removing the contentType allowed the stream to be opened in Acrobat. It seems that the contentType setting in the sub-app was overriding that for application/pdf but not for image/jpeg or application/msword. Does anyone know why this would be the case?

...I'm guessing it wouldn't be that hard to extend the form to handle any old Object, maybe someone more in the know with the src can comment on this? actually, i found some documentation about this on the web. You can subclass DynaActionForm and add your own attributes, but it sort of defeats the purpose of having a DynaForm. You'll sort of have a half and half form and im not sure how i feel about that. for the DynaForms, you can put ANY object into the form, because it stores all objects in a HashMap. However, when you get to validation and returning objects to the form on submit, it gets messy.

Thanks, JOHN -Original Message- From: Madel,Kurt [mailto:kmadel;csmi.com] Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 9:03 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Struts Tags vs. JSTL The nightly build has exactly what you are looking for in the contrib folder. Here is the readme: Struts-EL extension === Introduction This subproject is an extension of the Struts tag library. Each JSP custom tag in this library is a subclass of an associated tag in the Struts tag library. One difference is that this tag library does not use rtexprvalues, it uses the expression evaluation engine in the JSP Standard Tag Library (version 1.0) to evaluate attribute values. In addition, some of the Struts tags were not ported to this library, as it was determined that their functionality was entirely supplied by the JSTL. These particular Struts tags, and the reason for their non-porting will be described in the documentation for this library. In order to fully understand the correct utilization of this library, you must understand the use and operation of the Struts tag library, and the use and operation of the JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (hereafter called the JSTL), along with the expression language (sometimes called the EL) used for evaluating attribute values. Tag Mapping --- In implementing the Struts-EL library, every Struts tag that provides a feature that is not covered by the JSTL (1.0) library is mapped into the Struts-EL library. This section reviews which Struts tags are NOT implemented in the Struts-EL library, and which JSTL tags provide that feature. Many of the non-porting decisions were based on the fact that the JSTL expression language itself provides the same functionality. In those cases, in addition to a possible JSTL tag name, the symbol EL will be listed. Bean Tag Library Tags NOT Implemented in Struts-EL -- Struts TagJSTL Tag -- cookie c:set, EL define c:set, EL header c:set, EL include c:import parameter c:set, EL write c:out Logic Tag Library Tags NOT Implemented in Struts-EL -- Struts TagJSTL Tag -- empty c:if, c:when, EL equal c:if, c:when, EL greaterEqualc:if, c:when, EL greaterThan c:if, c:when, EL lessEqual c:if, c:when, EL lessThanc:if, c:when, EL notEmptyc:if, c:when, EL notEqualc:if, c:when, EL notPresent c:if, c:when, EL present c:if, c:when, EL Html Tag Library Tags NOT Implemented in Struts-EL -- None (all of them were ported). Attribute Mapping - At this point of the implementation, there is only one change (to two similar tags) to the set of attributes between the Struts tags, and the Struts-EL tags. The logic:match and logic:notMatch tags have an additional attribute named expr, which can take any value, and will be used as the value to compare against, in addition to the choices of cookie, header, name/property, and parameter. Usage Requirements -- The Struts-EL tag library requires the use of the Struts tag library, and the Java Server Pages Standard Tag Library. It is not necessary for JSP pages using the Struts-EL tag library to also use the Struts tags or the JSTL tags, but the Struts and JSTL tag libraries need to be part of the application utilizing the Struts-EL tag library. This is because the Struts-EL tag classes are all subclasses of Struts tag classes, and their implementation uses classes provided by the JSTL.

Until now, we've strictly been using the Struts custom tags (and a few that we extended). These are the guidelines I want to setup for our developers: 1) If a tag's functionality is duplicated in both the JSTL and Struts, use the JSTL version. In the long run, it will probably deprecate the Struts tag. 2) For tags tied directly to the Struts framework (e.g. html:errors, html:javascript, etc.), use the Struts version (for obvious reasons).

Hi Davide Thank you sir! I presume you are talking about DICE.com You said that you didn't find it on Dice, but it was found somewhere else. You didn't where you found the informal job boards. - Keywords, keywords, keywords! My employer received 800 resumes (or for those of you across the pond, CVs) for my position. They eliminated 90% of those without even looking at them (they used keyword search software). Companies are having to do this because of the ratio of available positions to available candidates. Bloody hell! That is a huge ratio 800 to 1! I had a suspicion about search keyword software but I didn't realize. I will definitely update my CV to be completely keyword specific. You know this is so similar to static web design with META tags. My CV is two pages long, and it is rather concise, but I have had a request from an agency a couple of weeks ago to include my technologies and buzz word keywords that increased to three pages. Most of the agents said I have good looking CV. I have had interviews with many agencies, but I got the feeling that they were just to polite sometimes. When they had me in for the interview I felt they were being a little cynical, and maybe that were trawling the web for talent. I can understand, because they are so few jobs and lots of agency trying to change the commission for the candidate who can exactly fit the required job specification. pre-screenings with the remaining 80 people, and eventually met about 10 of those 80 in person. The second page of my resume contains all my technical skills, and is very keyword rich. You're up against a lot of other candidates, so make sure you can get through the filtering software by including everything you know on your resume (all the acronyms, tools, etc.). I know of one other former colleague who has had to do a telephone interview with a contact that she had two months ago. It is very easy to get depressed, and miserable. However, I very grateful for advice. You did n't by any chance have a hand in writing this keyword search software, did you? ;-) - Observe protocol.

Here is the readme: Struts-EL extension === Introduction This subproject is an extension of the Struts tag library. Each JSP custom tag in this library is a subclass of an associated tag in the Struts tag library. One difference is that this tag library does not use rtexprvalues, it uses the expression evaluation engine in the JSP Standard Tag Library (version 1.0) to evaluate attribute values. In addition, some of the Struts tags were not ported to this library, as it was determined that their functionality was entirely supplied by the JSTL. These particular Struts tags, and the reason for their non-porting will be described in the documentation for this library. In order to fully understand the correct utilization of this library, you must understand the use and operation of the Struts tag library, and the use and operation of the JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (hereafter called the JSTL), along with the expression language (sometimes called the EL) used for evaluating attribute values. Tag Mapping --- In implementing the Struts-EL library, every Struts tag that provides a feature that is not covered by the JSTL (1.0) library is mapped into the Struts-EL library. This section reviews which Struts tags are NOT implemented in the Struts-EL library, and which JSTL tags provide that feature. Many of the non-porting decisions were based on the fact that the JSTL expression language itself provides the same functionality. In those cases, in addition to a possible JSTL tag name, the symbol EL will be listed. Bean Tag Library Tags NOT Implemented in Struts-EL -- Struts TagJSTL Tag -- cookie c:set, EL define c:set, EL header c:set, EL include c:import parameter c:set, EL write c:out Logic Tag Library Tags NOT Implemented in Struts-EL -- Struts TagJSTL Tag -- empty c:if, c:when, EL equal c:if, c:when, EL greaterEqualc:if, c:when, EL greaterThan c:if, c:when, EL lessEqual c:if, c:when, EL lessThanc:if, c:when, EL notEmptyc:if, c:when, EL notEqualc:if, c:when, EL notPresent c:if, c:when, EL present c:if, c:when, EL Html Tag Library Tags NOT Implemented in Struts-EL -- None (all of them were ported). Attribute Mapping - At this point of the implementation, there is only one change (to two similar tags) to the set of attributes between the Struts tags, and the Struts-EL tags. The logic:match and logic:notMatch tags have an additional attribute named expr, which can take any value, and will be used as the value to compare against, in addition to the choices of cookie, header, name/property, and parameter. Usage Requirements -- The Struts-EL tag library requires the use of the Struts tag library, and the Java Server Pages Standard Tag Library. It is not necessary for JSP pages using the Struts-EL tag library to also use the Struts tags or the JSTL tags, but the Struts and JSTL tag libraries need to be part of the application utilizing the Struts-EL tag library. This is because the Struts-EL tag classes are all subclasses of Struts tag classes, and their implementation uses classes provided by the JSTL.

Hi,
We need to match a report ID from one of the scopes with a set of
integers. Now logic-match example compares with single values.
Do I have to use struts-el for this ? Are there examples
of logic-match
to do this ?
The JSTL code that doesn't seem to work is
c:if test= ${sessionScope.reportBean.reportID 39 and
sessionScope.reportBean.reportID 60}
/c:if
reportBean is the variable name put in one of the scopes.
reportID has a matching getter method.

RE: [OT] Where can I find a Struts / J2EE Jobs?
I just want to observe that I have never used a job website. I'm not saying that they don't or can't work, but I've received 100% of my employment so far from either word of mouth or using a technical recruiter. This has worked both sides of the pond. I started in the industry in 1990 when I graduated from Plymouth University (England) and I remember that you had to be thankful for anything that paid money. There was no annoying the boss back then, or you'd be picking up your P45 (pink slip for the Yankees on the list).

They posted it on Dice from where it was eventually scraped. I personally didn't have much luck with the big job sites (Monster, Dice, etc.). There didn't seem to be very many postings there, and they seemed to be fairly stale/stagnant. OTOH, smaller, more informal job boards seemed to have a steady trickle of new postings. Hi Davide Thank you sir! I presume you are talking about DICE.com You said that you didn't find it on Dice, but it was found somewhere else. You didn't where you found the informal job boards. - Keywords, keywords, keywords! My employer received 800 resumes (or for those of you across the pond, CVs) for my position. They eliminated 90% of those without even looking at them (they used keyword search software). Companies are having to do this because of the ratio of available positions to available candidates. Bloody hell! That is a huge ratio 800 to 1! I had a suspicion about search keyword software but I didn't realize. I will definitely update my CV to be completely keyword specific. You know this is so similar to static web design with META tags. My CV is two pages long, and it is rather concise, but I have had a request from an agency a couple of weeks ago to include my technologies and buzz word keywords that increased to three pages. Most of the agents said I have good looking CV. I have had interviews with many agencies, but I got the feeling that they were just to polite sometimes. When they had me in for the interview I felt they were being a little cynical, and maybe that were trawling the web for talent. I can understand, because they are so few jobs and lots of agency trying to change the commission for the candidate who can exactly fit the required job specification. pre-screenings with the remaining 80 people, and eventually met about 10 of those 80 in person. The second page of my resume contains all my technical skills, and is very keyword rich. You're up against a lot of other candidates, so make sure you can get through the filtering software by including everything you know on your resume (all the acronyms, tools, etc.). I know of one other former colleague who has had to do a telephone interview with a contact that she had two months ago. It is very easy to get depressed, and miserable. However, I very grateful for advice. You did n't by any chance have a hand in writing this keyword search software, did you? ;-) - Observe protocol.

RE: Using Javascript submit(), how can I tell what did the submit in an action?
I see several strategies for this: 1. Design your page and your Action so you don't need to know. Your request parameters will indicate the current settings. This will allow your page to work even if javascript is disabled (an unfortunate consideration). 2. Put each drop down into its own form. 3.

IndexOutOfBounds error, Struts 1.1b2, J2SDK 1.4.1
Hi all-
we have an application originally written to struts 1.1b2 and J2SDK 1.3.1_03
that was working fine. Recently, we've been given the signal to upgrade to
J2SDK 1.4.1. Fine, but now we're finding that our form posts are failing
with IndexOutOfBoundsException. I've traced through the Struts source with
a debugger and found the problem in this block of PropertyUtils code:
// Call the property getter and return the value
Object value = readMethod.invoke(bean, new Object[0]);
if (!value.getClass().isArray()) {
if (!(value instanceof java.util.List)) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(Property ' + name
+ ' is not indexed);
} else {
//get the List's value
return ((java.util.List) value).get(index);
}
} else {
//get the array's value
return (Array.get(value, index));
}
It seems to me that the line:
return ((java.util.List) value).get(index)
fails because the form bean just got created by Struts and hasn't been
populated yet. However, it works just fine when I switch back to JDK 1.3.1.
Anyone got any suggestions as to what might be happening?

optionsCollection error Failed to obtain specified collectionafter unsuccessful validate()
I'm using the Struts nightly build from nov. 13. Initially I populate an ArrayList in a Validator form in an Action with authentication types for a login screen. In the jsp page, the authentication types are displayed with an optionsCollection tag: html:select property=authType html:optionsCollection property=authSchemes value=value label=shortName/ /html:select These are displayed successfully when the screen is diasplayed. When I submit and purposefully leave out a required field (like username) from the login form and submit, the screen should redisplay with appropriate messages (it does without the optoinsCollection and select tags). It doesn't. I get the message: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Failed to obtain specified collection at org.apache.struts.taglib.html.OptionsCollectionTag.doStartTag(OptionsCollectionTag.java:233) So where is the collection going? It is in the form instantiation because I 'set' it in the form in the initial action. Does the form reset() and get rid of every attribute, including the array list? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Adam K. p.s.

So, with complex value objects and Collections, its not smart enough (yet) to instantiate even an empty object. It only knows how to create Wrapper classes with values in them.

So, with complex value objects and Collections, its not smart enough (yet) to instantiate even an empty object. It only knows how to create Wrapper classes with values in them. That's why i started toying with the direct DynaActionForm.set() in the action class. As far as i explored, that was the only way to get around this.

If BeanUtils is underlying this whole thing, then you should be able to create the user-objects instead of defaulting them to null (using the JavaBean no-arg ctor). And following on that you could use the property referencing struture used by the rest of Struts (e.g. object.field or object[0].object.field) to handle the validation. At first at least, one could implement this by handling user-objects but requiring that the last value in the property referencing be a primitive or Strings (for validation and returning objects to the form).

In my struts-config.xml I have in the form-bean form-property name='creditCard' type='my.package.CreditCard' / In my JSP I try html:text property='creditCard.type' / The CreditCard class has a no-arg ctor and get/set methods for all of its fields. When I load the JSP I get an error Null property value for 'creditCard' I'm guessing that DynaActionForm is not initializing the CreditCard object, but I don't know why (I thought that was the point of DynaActionForm - to be able to use any object and initialize it from the form automatically). You can auto-initialize primitives (and things like that) by using the initial attribute on the form-property element. But initializing a property that is an object requires an *instance* of that object to be available. It's not appropriate for a general purpose framework to just go and try to create such things, and hope that it's OK. A couple of strategies to consider: * Create the form bean in a separate Action that can pre-initialize all of the necessary properties for you. This will often be the best course of action when you are creating edit forms for modifying existing database data. * Create a custom subclass of DynaActionForm with a reset() method that, among other things, instantiates your credit card object and stores it: put(creditCard, new my.package.CreditCard()); Struts calls the reset() method for you when *it* creates the form bean instance. If you create one yourself, you'll need to remember to call this method.

David, This *may* be a WebSphere issue. We were working on a non-Struts web app over this past Summer in which we had problems uploading large files (anything over 15K, I think).

The reason you're getting the exception is that you're trying to set the

called. You cant set the config file (or do anything really) until after
super.setUp() has been called.

Here is the readme: Struts-EL extension === Introduction This subproject is an extension of the Struts tag library. Each JSP custom tag in this library is a subclass of an associated tag in the Struts tag library. One difference is that this tag library does not use rtexprvalues, it uses the expression evaluation engine in the JSP Standard Tag Library (version 1.0) to evaluate attribute values. In addition, some of the Struts tags were not ported to this library, as it was determined that their functionality was entirely supplied by the JSTL. These particular Struts tags, and the reason for their non-porting will be described in the documentation for this library. In order to fully understand the correct utilization of this library, you must understand the use and operation of the Struts tag library, and the use and operation of the JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (hereafter called the JSTL), along with the expression language (sometimes called the EL) used for evaluating attribute values. Tag Mapping --- In implementing the Struts-EL library, every Struts tag that provides a feature that is not covered by the JSTL (1.0) library is mapped into the Struts-EL library. This section reviews which Struts tags are NOT implemented in the Struts-EL library, and which JSTL tags provide that feature. Many of the non-porting decisions were based on the fact that the JSTL expression language itself provides the same functionality. In those cases, in addition to a possible JSTL tag name, the symbol EL will be listed. Bean Tag Library Tags NOT Implemented in Struts-EL -- Struts TagJSTL Tag -- cookie c:set, EL define c:set, EL header c:set, EL include c:import parameter c:set, EL write c:out Logic Tag Library Tags NOT Implemented in Struts-EL -- Struts TagJSTL Tag -- empty c:if, c:when, EL equal c:if, c:when, EL greaterEqualc:if, c:when, EL greaterThan c:if, c:when, EL lessEqual c:if, c:when, EL lessThanc:if, c:when, EL notEmptyc:if, c:when, EL notEqualc:if, c:when, EL notPresent c:if, c:when, EL present c:if, c:when, EL Html Tag Library Tags NOT Implemented in Struts-EL -- None (all of them were ported). Attribute Mapping - At this point of the implementation, there is only one change (to two similar tags) to the set of attributes between the Struts tags, and the Struts-EL tags. The logic:match and logic:notMatch tags have an additional attribute named expr, which can take any value, and will be used as the value to compare against, in addition to the choices of cookie, header, name/property, and parameter. Usage Requirements -- The Struts-EL tag library requires the use of the Struts tag library, and the Java Server Pages Standard Tag Library. It is not necessary for JSP pages using the Struts-EL tag library to also use the Struts tags or the JSTL tags, but the Struts and JSTL tag libraries need to be part of the application utilizing the Struts-EL tag library. This is because the Struts-EL tag classes are all subclasses of Struts tag classes, and their implementation uses classes provided by the JSTL.

RE: [OT] Where can I find a Struts / J2EE Jobs?
Khalid, This is all just common sense really, but it helped me when I was laid off at the end of June (BTW, I was working again in five weeks, and as much as I'd like to think that I'm a rock star, I think I was monumentally lucky)... However, if it can help you or someone else on the list... I live in Colorado and as I said, I was laid off from a telecom company at the end of June... I found my new job through a Yahoo job board (specifically the Rocky Mountain Internet Users' Group Job board - which you won't care about given that you live in the UK...). Anyway, here's what I learned: - There seem to be a lot of job bots out there. My current employer didn't post the opening on the board where I found it. They posted it on Dice from where it was eventually scraped. I personally didn't have much luck with the big job sites (Monster, Dice, etc.). There didn't seem to be very many postings there, and they seemed to be fairly stale/stagnant. OTOH, smaller, more informal job boards seemed to have a steady trickle of new postings. Thank you sir! I presume you are talking about DICE.com Yes. You said that you didn't find it on Dice, but it was found somewhere else. You didn't where you found the informal job boards. Word of mouth. I started going to every career fair, Internet Chamber of Commerce meeting, other meetings where unemployed IT people would congregate, etc. I was officially unemployed for four weeks, and during that time I managed to put together quite a collection of business cards. I also had a layoff buddy (another guy from my team who was laid off when I was) with whom I exchanged information, swapped leads, etc. Its just a matter of knocking on every door you can think of. What I think really sucks are the pay sites that are preying on people who are in a situation where they don't have a lot of extra disposable income. Interestingly, although these sites claim that their Fuzzy logic, neural net, AI-based systems will find postings that you won't find anywhere else, I found this not to be true. The free teaser posting titles that the pay sites would e-mail me were exactly the same as those that I would find on the free boards. - Keywords, keywords, keywords! My employer received 800 resumes (or for those of you across the pond, CVs) for my position. They eliminated 90% of those without even looking at them (they used keyword search software). Companies are having to do this because of the ratio of available positions to available candidates. Bloody hell! That is a huge ratio 800 to 1! I had a suspicion about search keyword software but I didn't realize. I will definitely update my CV to be completely keyword specific. You know this is so similar to static web design with META tags. My CV is two pages long, and it is rather concise, but I have had a request from an agency a couple of weeks ago to include my technologies and buzz word keywords that increased to three pages. Most of the agents said I have good looking CV. I have had interviews with many agencies, but I got the feeling that they were just to polite sometimes. When they had me in for the interview I felt they were being a little cynical, and maybe that were trawling the web for talent. I can understand, because they are so few jobs and lots of agency trying to change the commission for the candidate who can exactly fit the required job specification. One of my colleagues here mentioned something that I thought was a good idea. Since resumes are supposed to be no more than two pages long, but IT people frequently have a difficult time keeping theirs that short, he said that he has one version where he adds everything that he does (Its five pages long), and one abridged two page version. And yes, Web-based resumes are a good place to put your long resume. I had even toyed with the idea of putting together a fancy Web-based resume with collapsible sections so that it could serve both purposes and could showcase my HTML skills, etc. Then I found a job and got lazy... :-/ As far as employment agencies are concerned, I found that the ones that I talked to here in the States are fairly hungry. Times are lean for them too. The problem they're having is a) There are so many candidates out there, and so many other avenues that companies and candidates can take that companies don't need them any more, and b) I found that when companies do use them, they go to multiple agencies and pit them against each other. pre-screenings with the remaining 80 people, and eventually met about 10 of those 80 in person. The second page of my resume contains all my technical skills, and is very keyword rich. You're up against a lot of other candidates, so make sure you can get through the filtering software by including everything you know on your resume (all the acronyms, tools, etc.).

deferring an action
This is something I haven't seen discussed before. Our web application has a large, dynamically built tree in its own frame by which users navigate to input screens. ( They can also click on menu options -- slightly different but raises the same issue for us.) Data entry is freeform -- users can navigate anywhere at any time. So far, no big deal. The unusual part is, when a user finishes entering data on a screen, then clicks to go to another screen, we automatically save the screen they're leaving. In a sense, we have to defer the page load action to do a save action on the prior page. So we're trying to come up with a clean way to fit this into Struts. The sequence is: Click link - save current page - respond with reassuring message in another frame (i.e. screen has been saved) - go to clicked link We haven't come up with any designs we like yet. One example of something we don't like: 1) user fills out form, call it currentPage 1) user clicks to go to somePage.do 2) javascript puts somePage.do in hidden field on currentPage, and then initiates a submit of currentPage 3) submit to currentPageSave.do 3) action forwards to jsp with hidden form -- 'somePage.do' is the form action (also, javascript puts confirmation message in header frame) 4) immediately submit that form using javascript Ideas, anyone? (Sure, we could do away with the auto-save to make our app more webbish -- if it weren't a business requirement. Besides, it really is nice for the users.)

I've been able to use Netbeans to debug web applications in Tomcat, simply by using the remote debugger feature, allowing me to attach to a java process started with the correct parameters to assume remote debugging. I just mount my source trees and set breakpoints. This will work with other application servers that allow you to just use a script to run java on a class to start the appserver. Other debuggers also use the same feature.

Re: JSP Debug / IDE's
At least parts of this can be accomplished using Cactus. It allows you to run tests and log information while the code is actually deployed in the container. It's not the same as attaching to a container and setting breakpoints, etc. but I think it will help to avoid the need for that work anyway. Why set a break point and visually inspect a variable when you can write a Cactus test that inspects all the variables you want while only flagging you when it finds one that's not what it expects? In addition, with Cactus tests, you can leave them in the codebase and rerun them periodically (or even with every build/deploy cycle during development and testing) and use them to perform ongoing regression testing of all your code. StrutsTestCase makes writng Cactus tests for struts pretty straightforward. I provide sample code along with instructions and a copy of Catus in my book.

RE: deferring an action
I would enforce the workflow. When the user wants to leave an editable form, if any fields were changed (dirty), then prompt to save changes. If no, then proceed as normal. But if yes, then call the normal save action (with either 'changes successful' page or 'error' page, however you are doing it) which keeps them in the workflow (e.g. validation of fields) and then provide some JavaScript to go to the originally selected URL (you'll need to store this prior to submitting the original form. So, the only difference between hitting save and clicking to go somewhere else is the location.href='somepage.do' somewhere. Of course, if there were errors, then you need to handle that as well. I'm guessing that hitting cancel at this point will let them escape the forced workflow/validation. This is also one good example of the reasons I don't like (or use) frames. If you are using a tree view script that displays something equivalent to an open folder (to visually show the user where they are in the app).

Need advice on implementing a view
I am builing a sort of reservation system using struts. I have all the components in place for CRUD and all is fine. The bosses, however, also want a big overview app. Basically it will be a big grid with a visual representaion of the reserved objects and the current population for each object. The overview does not need to tell you _who_ is resevered, just _how many_ people are curently occupying the obect. I already have views for the oject level operations. If there were 30-40 object this would be no big deal to me but we are talking about 250 objects and I am wondering how I represent all of them on the same web page. My other thought was that this might be a job for a dedicated swing app that could poll/refresh the data via an Action class. I figured it would be easier because you could zoom in and pan without the shock of refeshing a web page.

Re: deferring an action
We can't prompt the users to save when they leave the page. We used to (back when life was simpler!) but it's too annoying -- they've got a huge set of data covering a huge number of screens, and do lots of moving around. 99% of the time they'd say yes anyway. We now have a rollback feature; much more pleasant for the users. (Read Alan Cooper if you want to know more about why minimal bothering of users is a good thing.) Incidentally, we don't do any page validation either. Users can enter any damn thing they please until such time as they choose a Validate feature, either for a page or the entire data set. Sounds strange, I know, but it makes sense for this application. And yeah, frames suck, but there they are anyway. Our navigation tree has the potential to be huge. We can't download it with every page hit. So all that aside...it sounds like your suggestion is quite like my original example. Would you agree? 1) user fills out form, call it currentPage 1) user clicks to go to somePage.do 2) javascript puts somePage.do in hidden field on currentPage, and then initiates a submit of currentPage 3) submit to currentPageSave.do 3) action forwards to jsp with hidden form -- 'somePage.do' is the form action (also, javascript puts confirmation message in header frame) 4) immediately submit that form using javascript Maybe there isn't a better way.

RE: IndexOutOfBounds error, Struts 1.1b2, J2SDK 1.4.1
Been doing some research since my last post. Here's the setup, same
application code, same struts jars, same app server switching between JDK
1.3.1 and 1.4.1:
When processing a submit, in the PropertyUtils the following check is made
in the getIndexedProperty method on or around line 468:
if (descriptor instanceof IndexedPropertyDescriptor) {
With JDK 1.3.1 running descriptor is indeed an IndexedPropertyDescriptor,
but with JDK 1.4.1 I get a java.beans.PropertyDescriptor, so the code passes
by the block that should handle the property I've passed an onto a block of
code that results in the IndexOutOfBoundsException.
This seems like a 1.4.1 induced bug. Should I log it in Bugzilla? Has
anyone else seen this bug?

Subject: IndexOutOfBounds error, Struts 1.1b2, J2SDK 1.4.1
Hi all-
we have an application originally written to struts 1.1b2 and
J2SDK 1.3.1_03
that was working fine. Recently, we've been given the signal to
upgrade to
J2SDK 1.4.1. Fine, but now we're finding that our form posts are failing
with IndexOutOfBoundsException. I've traced through the Struts
source with
a debugger and found the problem in this block of PropertyUtils code:
// Call the property getter and return the value
Object value = readMethod.invoke(bean, new Object[0]);
if (!value.getClass().isArray()) {
if (!(value instanceof java.util.List)) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(Property ' + name
+ ' is not indexed);
} else {
//get the List's value
return ((java.util.List) value).get(index);
}
} else {
//get the array's value
return (Array.get(value, index));
}
It seems to me that the line:
return ((java.util.List) value).get(index)
fails because the form bean just got created by Struts and hasn't been
populated yet. However, it works just fine when I switch back to
JDK 1.3.1.
Anyone got any suggestions as to what might be happening?

In order to fully understand the correct utilization of this library, you must understand the use and operation of the Struts tag library, and the use and operation of the JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (hereafter called the JSTL), along with the expression language (sometimes called the EL) used for evaluating attribute values. Tag Mapping --- In implementing the Struts-EL library, every Struts tag that provides a feature that is not covered by the JSTL (1.0) library is mapped into the Struts-EL library. This section reviews which Struts tags are NOT implemented in the Struts-EL library, and which JSTL tags provide that feature. Many of the non-porting decisions were based on the fact that the JSTL expression language itself provides the same functionality. In those cases, in addition to a possible JSTL tag name, the symbol EL will be listed. Bean Tag Library Tags NOT Implemented in Struts-EL -- Struts TagJSTL Tag -- cookiec:set, EL define c:set, EL headerc:set, EL includec:import parameter c:set, EL write c:out Logic Tag Library Tags NOT Implemented in Struts-EL -- Struts TagJSTL Tag -- empty c:if, c:when, EL equal c:if, c:when, EL greaterEqual c:if, c:when, EL greaterThan c:if, c:when, EL lessEqual c:if, c:when, EL lessThan c:if, c:when, EL notEmpty c:if, c:when, EL notEqual c:if, c:when, EL notPresentc:if, c:when, EL present c:if, c:when, EL Html Tag Library Tags NOT Implemented in Struts-EL -- None (all of them were ported). Attribute Mapping - At this point of the implementation, there is only one change (to two similar tags) to the set of attributes between the Struts tags, and the Struts-EL tags. The logic:match and logic:notMatch tags have an additional attribute named expr, which can take any value, and will be used as the value to compare against, in addition to the choices of cookie, header, name/property, and parameter. Usage Requirements -- The Struts-EL tag library requires the use of the Struts tag library, and the Java Server Pages Standard Tag Library. It is not necessary for JSP pages using the Struts-EL tag library to also use the Struts tags or the JSTL tags, but the Struts and JSTL tag libraries need to be part of the application utilizing the Struts-EL tag library. This is because the Struts-EL tag classes are all subclasses of Struts tag classes, and their implementation uses classes provided by the JSTL.

Until now, we've strictly been using the Struts custom tags (and a few that we extended). These are the guidelines I want to setup for our developers: 1) If a tag's functionality is duplicated in both the JSTL and Struts, use the JSTL version. In the long run, it will probably deprecate the Struts tag. 2) For tags tied directly to the
Re: deferring an action
As a matter of fact, our users are chained to their desks. Ok, I'm lying. But your suggestion may have merit -- the form would be in session scope but not for very long -- just long enough to be put there when the user clicks a link, then saved, then it could go away. But would you mind explaining how putting the form in session scope would solve the issue at hand? In some nice clean struts-like way? The issue being 1) click for action #1 ; 2) perform action #2; 3) perform action #1 where actions 1 and 2 are arbitrary, not known ahead of time.

If not, your actions could simply place the forms into session scope. Most of our clients don't spend all day at their machines, so 30 minutes or so is too much of a constraint... Just a wild thought :o) Brian - Original Message - From: Alayne Wartell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 12:25 PM Subject: deferring an action This is something I haven't seen discussed before. Our web application has a large, dynamically built tree in its own frame by which users navigate to input screens. ( They can also click on menu options -- slightly different but raises the same issue for us.) Data entry is freeform -- users can navigate anywhere at any time. So far, no big deal. The unusual part is, when a user finishes entering data on a screen, then clicks to go to another screen, we automatically save the screen they're leaving. In a sense, we have to defer the page load action to do a save action on the prior page. So we're trying to come up with a clean way to fit this into Struts. The sequence is: Click link - save current page - respond with reassuring message in another frame (i.e. screen has been saved) - go to clicked link We haven't come up with any designs we like yet. One example of something we don't like: 1) user fills out form, call it currentPage 1) user clicks to go to somePage.do 2) javascript puts somePage.do in hidden field on currentPage, and then initiates a submit of currentPage 3) submit to currentPageSave.do 3) action forwards to jsp with hidden form -- 'somePage.do' is the form action (also, javascript puts confirmation message in header frame) 4) immediately submit that form using javascript Ideas, anyone? (Sure, we could do away with the auto-save to make our app more webbish -- if it weren't a business requirement. Besides, it really is nice for the users.)

I tried JSTL for 2 hours and I thrown away struts custom tags at once! Of course you should still use the HTML tags (or better HTML-EL) to render forms but you can use JSTL for anything else and is much *MUCH* clean, standard and powerful The only thing I miss is the function support which will be added in the servlet specs v2.0 regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe;jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:struts-user-help;jakarta.apache.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe;jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:struts-user-help;jakarta.apache.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe;jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:struts-user-help;jakarta.apache.org
