RE: Validator with Map-backed forms
You've got it. I'm working with the commons-validator, it's working just fine. -Original Message- From: Darren Spurgeon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 4:05 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Validator with Map-backed forms Max- My team is in the same situation. Our current problem is in dealing with over 170 customized forms, which will balloon to about five times that amount in the coming year. Damn those salesmen and their non-standard accounts! ;) But I digress... Unfortunately, I don't have an elegant solution. I ended up developing a small set of beans to represent a typical (HTML) form, containing a model for a form, field pages, field groups, and individual fields. Actually, the concept was first used in a piece of survey software, but it remained portable for other uses. I use Commons Digester to parse XML configuration files (loaded from a database) representing each form and populate that model as the application/user requests them. Actions call a thin business layer, which uses the custom form model and performs the validations there. When the application was moved to a Struts-based one, I used Map-backed forms to handle the forms and had to develop a few validation beans to perform the validation. Our validations are simple, so it's not too big a deal. My thinking now is much like yours--somehow use Commons Validator, as in building the necessary formsets programmatically. As yet, I haven't had the opportunity to experiment, but I believe that approach is probably the best current answer. Please, please, please...Let us all know if you have any luck, and I'll do the same. Cheers, Darren --- Max Kremer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I've asked this question before but so far haven't received any feedback on this subject: Is there any way to use the Validator with map-backed Action Forms? I'm currently using Map-backed forms to manage forms that are dynamically created from a database, where the number of fields, their names, their types are not necessarily known at deployment (so no DynaActionForm). I'm wondering if it's still possible to use the (Commons) Validator to validate the form fields. I understand that the normal usage requires form elements in the validator-rules file to match that of a form-bean element in the Struts config file. That's not really possible in my case because I don't know ahead of time what the fields will be (by name or type, in number, etc.). Would it be possible to programmatically create the formset and form elements Validator requires but still use them in conjunction with the validations file (where the validator elements are stored), which would be commonly shared between forms? Any pointers on how I can accomplish this? Or, is there a better way to handle dynamic (i.e., on-the-fly or real-time) form creation with Struts?

Georg thanks for your concern.
The options are not from the resources file.
They are read from mySQL.
I use the html:select and the html:options tag
to display the records.
I debugged the Options Taga from the struts source
and it calls
ResponseUtils.write(pageContext, sb.toString());
which is this
public static void write(PageContext pageContext, String text)
throws JspException {
JspWriter writer = pageContext.getOut();
try {
writer.print(text);
} catch (IOException e) {
RequestUtils.saveException(pageContext, e);
throw new JspException
(messages.getMessage(write.io, e.toString()));
}
}
the text in writer.print(text);
looks fine before print is called
but in the html I get instead for the records
Thanks

I guess that you use ApplicationResources.properties to display your
options-values.
If so, there is in struts-config.xml an attribute in the
message-resources-tag.
With this attribute ( sorry, i dont know the name ) you can tell struts what
to do
if it can nout find the appropriate resource key.
If you get ??? this means that this attribute is set to true otherwise you
would receive
an error message that the resource key couldn' be found.
hope this is your solution

Hi all,
I am using Struts 1.0.2 with mySQL 3.23.
I have some records in the DB which are in greek charset.
The recorset form mySQL comes OK in Greek from the Action bean.
I verify this in the debugger because the html select is well defined.
I get select . with the greek characters in the options.
Wher the String text reaches the JSpWriter.print(text)
then I get in the html page in the select box(drop down box).
I use Charset=Iso 8859-7
Is there a problem with JSPWriter ?
I downloaded the International JDK 1.4.1_01 but nothing seems to change from
the US English only.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance

Hi all, I have following requirement in our struts application. .After user does a query on database,a set of records is returned to him on screen in a table format.He can then ask the same data to be given in PDF format so that he can print it. My question is what is the best way to do this? Right now,after the user does the query, the actions get a ValueBean list from Model layer and the same is displayed using struts html tags in on the page.So my idea was to use Cacoon FOP ..Which i think needs me to convert the value objects to Xml format first which can then be converted in pdf using xsl... Any suggestions...Experiences about the same are welcome.I am sure many people must be doing this in thier struts app. already...So i just dont want to follow the best practice. FOP is a XSL-FO formatter. So you need to provide a well-formed XSL-FO document. You can transform your beans into XML (probably Castor can do that for you) then you will have to write a XSL stylesheet to transform your source XML into XSL-FO. Then FOP will transform that in PDF.

So is there any such API / product available? I know no product for that. But you can use the print capabilities of browsers for that. Most sites use this technique. They have a fancy HTML view for browsing, and a very light printable version and the user File Print it. It works pretty well. IE has HTML extensions for page formatting (it is absolutely non-standard, but can be useful sometimes). The power of FO is to have a VERY different formatting between HTML view and PDF view.

RE: code reuse - DispatchAction input parameter for different C RUD pages
-Original Message- From: Peterkofsky, Don [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] --///-- I've been successfully using the Dispatch action in the development of an application here, without yet implementing validation. I'm using DynaValidatorActionForm beans and extending action classes from DispatchAction. Now, in thinking of implementing validation, I see a potential problem. We will be using the XML Validator, with validation executed by the controller. Here is an example action mapping: action path=/FWMatDevRequestManage type=ext.fwnike.client.material.action.FWMatDevManageDispatchAction name=FWMatDevRequestForm scope=request parameter=method input=/ext/fwnike/client/material/jsp/page/FWMatDevRequestEdit.jsp forward name=update contextRelative=true path=fw.material.matdevrequest.update/ forward name=create contextRelative=true path=/ext/fwnike/client/material/jsp/page/FWMatDevRequestEdit.jsp/ forward name=view contextRelative=true path=fw.material.matdevrequest.view/ forward name=home contextRelative=true path=/ext/fwnike/client/material/jsp/page/FWMatDevRequestHome.jsp/ /action As you can see, this action handles the CRUD functions, and while there is only one edit JSP, separate forwards are used for Create and Update, since there must be separate Tiles template definitions that use the edit.JSP (for setting page titles/headlines, etc. for the appropriate page). The issue I'm thinking comes when a validation error occurs, and the controller routes the request back to the path specified by the input parameter. This seems to be a problem, because there are more than one pages in the DispatchAction submitting form data, but only one input parameter path. So, there may be a validation error from the Create page, in which case the Create page should be displayed again by the controller; there may also be a validation error from the Update page, in which case the Update page should be displayed again by the controller. With only one input parameter, how is this accomplished? ---- The solution is not to set the ``validate=false' is the action mapping. In other words call the validate() method in your Action controller instead. If the validation returns non-empty `ActionErrors' then you can forward redirect to your local ActionForwards. -- Peter Pilgrim Struts/J2EE Consultant +44 (0)207-375-5642 Visit our Internet site at http://www.rbsmarkets.com This e-mail is intended only for the addressee named above.

[OT][JavaScript][i18n] How to get a date with a user?
Anyone know a good way of getting a java.util.TimeZone object corresponding to the users timezone (that doesnt involve having them manually specify it at login which is what Im looking at having to do now), so that I can display various dates to them in local time? I thought of getting the difference between the users local time and gmt(utc) based on the value of javascript's Date.getTimezoneOffset() function (using the current date) submitting this in a hidden field on the login page and then instantiating a 'custom' timezone based on this - but this wont take into account the daylight savings rules that apply to the users location - thus certain datetimes will end up being rendered incorrectly when I show them in the users local time... (For example if the date is for a time during dst and the user is currently not in dst or vice versa) I also thought of rendering the dates as javscript code that instantiates a javascript Date object based on the dates utc value and then renders itself into the appropriate location into the dom which would thus be making use of JavaScripts support for the users local daylight savings rules on a per-date basis, but following experimentation it seems that (in IE at least) this doesnt provide any language sensitive rendering - always using English, so Ive ruled this out (kind of a relief considering how much bother and how hack-ish it is!). Of course if I can just get the dratted TimeZone, then its a simple matter to convert the date in question into a suitable string for display to that user: TimeZone timeZone = supplied by magic - arrgh! Locale locale = supplied by struts :-) String formatString = EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz ; //Or some nicer looking format DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(formatString,locale); df.setTimeZone(timeZone); String displayDateText = df.format(date); -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Error Handling Database constraints
I think the database constraints are anyway necessary unless your database is set up for table level locking or with isolation level serializable as it would be possible for another txn to insert the record after your first txn's select. Since these constraints exist in the database, the corresponding exceptions need to be caught and handled, I guess.

For example in the user table the user_name filed must be unique. The thing we do is: first we add a constraint to database for user_name. Then when an insert requests first we select user_name from database to see if there is any duplicate. Well it means that we handle the constraint checking task our selves with java code. Why do we do this? Why did we just let the insert happens and work with SQLException? Because the returned error from database can not be handled or modified nicely.

action. How can I specify a relay action as the location of a javascript
window?
I also know that the following is possible.
action path=/y
type=org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction
name=noDataForm
validate=false
scope=request
parameter=/x.jsp

RE: Relay action
Hi,
The use case is this.
1. User clicks on hyperlink on JSP1.
2. A new window opens. I don't want to specify the path of JSP2 as the
location of this window. So the location should be action1. action1 forwards
to JSP2.
3. User hits submit on JSP2.
4. Action2 is fired which does what I want.
Now action1 is a relay action. How is this usually done ? The idea is
tp route everything through an action.

Re: JSPWriter prints ???
Hi!..(Geia)
Sory I confused.
Forget about PageContext. Here is an example jsp
%@ page contentType=text/html; charset=iso-8859-7 %
%@ taglib uri=/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld prefix=html %
html:form action=editArticle.do
name=articleForm
type=gr.tera.ekozani.article.ArticleForm
scope=request
focus=title
table width=265 border=0 cellspacing=1 cellpadding=1
align=center bgcolor=#9bbad6
tr
td align=rightb /b/td
td valign=left
html:select property=categoryID size=1 styleClass=form
html:options collection=users property=id
labelProperty=name /
/html:select
/td
/tr
/table
/html:form
Where users is a Collection it comes from an action.
What OS are U using?

Hi Jim , (Geia sou)
I already use iso-8859-7 in the page as you type in the example
Have you set anything else in mySQL for the greek language to be set ?
I used an application Navicat to set the greek language in mySQL.
The greek chartacters seem ok in the records.
Do you think that I shouls explicitly set Page
Content.setCharacterEncoding
?
What should I pass in the setCharacterEncoding (iso-8859-7) ?
Thanks for your concern

Hi.
I use the same database and Struts. The data of the database displays
well
but only
if i use %@ page contentType=text/html; charset=iso-8859-7 %
I think U must set the corect character encoding for the PageContext
PageContext .setCharacterEncoding(.)

Georg thanks for your concern.
The options are not from the resources file.
They are read from mySQL.
I use the html:select and the html:options tag
to display the records.
I debugged the Options Taga from the struts source
and it calls
ResponseUtils.write(pageContext, sb.toString());
which is this
public static void write(PageContext pageContext, String text)
throws JspException {
JspWriter writer = pageContext.getOut();
try {
writer.print(text);
} catch (IOException e) {
RequestUtils.saveException(pageContext, e);
throw new JspException
(messages.getMessage(write.io, e.toString()));
}
}
the text in writer.print(text);
looks fine before print is called
but in the html I get instead for the records
Thanks

RE: Relay action
hmm. don't understand why this is not what you want.
In JSP1, have the link specified as
a href=#
onClick=openWindow('/x.action','a2','width=330,height=210') .../a
In struts-config.xml, have the forward action mapping,
action path=/x forward=/reports/includes/z.jsp/
This should work the way you want.

Chaining one action class with another- Help needed..
Hi All,
Can anyone let me know how to achieve chaining of action classes.
I have an requirement wherein i want to pass the control from one action
class to another .
I tried the following .
Method1
Struts Config
action path=action path1 type=name of the first action class
name=form bean name scope=request
forward name=redirect path=/testRedirect.do/
forward name=redirect1 path=/testRedirect1.do/
forward name=redirect2 path=name of the JSP/
/action
action path=/testRedirect type=name of the second action
class unknown=true
forward name=test1 path=name of the JSP /
/action
for this i gave the following in my first action class
if(condition1 ) {
return (mapping.findForward(redirect));
} else if(condition2) {
return (mapping.findForward(redirect1));
} else {
return (mapping.findForward(redirect2));
}
Method2
Struts Config
action path=action path1 type=name of the first action class
name=form bean name scope=request
forward name=redirect3 path=name of the JSP which has logic
redirect/
forward name=redirect4 path=name of the JSP/
/action
action path=/testRedirect type=name of the second action
class unknown=true
forward name=test1 path=name of the JSP /
/action
i coded the redirect JSP as
%@ taglib uri=/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld prefix=logic %
% System.out.println(Inside the redirect page:);
%
logic:redirect page=/testRedirect.do/
I could not achive redirecting in both methods. Iam getting HTTP Status
500 - No action instance for path /testRedirect could be created
With this chaining i can reuse the action classes without copying code to
achieve similar functionality.
Does struts allow this??
Cheers

RE: Error Handling Database constraints
Alireza, I haven't tried this, but it seems like if you created a base database exception class that had the ability to parse the SQLException messages and return the appropriate application level exception, it might address your needs. robert -Original Message- From: Alireza Fattahi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 6:11 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: Error Handling Database constraints Hi, As we know there are two types of errors. 1) The user input error, for example and email without @. Well this can be handled easily and *separately from code* by commons validation frame work 2) The errors that violate the database consistency. For example in the user table the user_name filed must be unique. The thing we do is: first we add a constraint to database for user_name. Then when an insert requests first we select user_name from database to see if there is any duplicate. Well it means that we handle the constraint checking task our selves with java code. Why do we do this? Why did we just let the insert happens and work with SQLException? Because the returned error from database can not be handled or modified nicely. These errors are changed for each database. Are we doing the right way? Is there any better way available for error handling Database Constraints?

RE: [OT][JavaScript][i18n] How to get a date with a user?
Yeh, I was considering that. For now it will default to whatever timezone the server is in (as the folk doing the ejb side of things havent time to provide me persistence for it). As most of the users will be on an intranet and the server in the same timezone as them (or configured to render dates as though it is in the same timezone as them) that should cover 80% of cases without users having to lift a finger. The other 20% would probably be road warriors who might be moving about a fair bit. -Original Message- From: Jerome Jacobsen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 9 January 2003 22:06 To: Struts Users Mailing List; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [OT][JavaScript][i18n] How to get a date with a user?

The problem I have is that its very difficult to get feedback on this type of thing with there being nobody who really knows about these types of things. If anybody could possibly spare some time to have a wander through it and give me some feedback then I would be very grateful as you guys are the experts here and active users of the struts framework itself.

Re: Call Struts Action from JS
The reason why I'm trying to do this is that I have one html:form with
two submit buttons that do different actions. I tried both of your
seggestions and I'm still getting that java script popup on IE 5.5
script language=JavaScript
function setNav(formObject)
{
//alert (FormObject: + formObject );
formObject.form.action=%=request.getContextPath()%/getAccounts.do;
formObject.form.submit();
}
/script
Is the formObject.form.action line that the browser does not like. Any
ideas? Thanks

Subject: RE: Call Struts Action from JS
What type of object is formObject? That is, how are you calling this function (e.g. from onclick? or some other event handler).
If 'formObject' is actually the 'document' then you would do something like ...
formObject.forms[0].action=%=request.getContextPath()%/getAccounts.do;
formObject.forms[0].submit();
or if the form were named 'myForm' you could use ...
formObject.myForm.action=%=request.getContextPath()%/getAccounts.do;
formObject.myForm.submit();
Also, I am curious as to why you are needing to set the action via JavaScript when it doesn't seem like it is dynamic? Even if you submit using the submit() method of Form it will still use the action that is specified for the form tag.
Another thing to keep in mind is that calling 'submit()' will not invoke any onsubmit event handlers if you have them. In general, I don't like using the 'submit()' method but sometimes it is unavoidable.

forwarding to unrelated pages
Hi all, I'm pretty new to Struts but I've been following it for a long time. Now that I'm starting to use it, I'm trying to figure out the best way to make objects available to a jsp that aren't involved in the processing of the previous action. I know about HttpServletResponse.addAttribute(), but what if the action has little or nothing to do with the subsequent jsp? In my pre-Struts days, I would create something like 2 actions--the first one services the incoming request, forwards to the next one, and the second only gathers whatever info is needed by the next jsp (that way I can decouple processing of unrelated concerns.) Should I continue to do something like this? Or maybe create custom tags that know how to retrieve objects that aren't in the response?

The option to instantate a bean in the jsp is always available using 'useBean' .. You can then use the struts tags or jstl etc.. You don't need and action.. The other option is to put everything in the session and then its available to the presentation layer when required..

You can do it with character classes (e.g.: [^ABC]), but this isn't very elegant. But AFAIK there is no not operator for regexps similar to the one you're probably used to for boolean expressions. -= J -Original Message- From: Zsolt Koppany [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 12:23 PM To: struts mail list Subject: Validator question Hi, how can I define a validator that for example the e-mail must NOT match a regular expression? -- Zsolt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Keeping a resource available for JSP's, closing at end of request
I want to keep a certain resource (a db connection of sorts) open until the
last JSP in a request has finished doing its stuff. The reason I want to
do this is that I'm putting smart data objects in the request, for
consumption by the JSP, and these objects have methods that might trigger a
db load. The JSP might inadvertently trigger a lazy load of a dependent
object from the db, so I need to keep a db connection open until the JSP is
finished. (Actually, it's not exactly a db connection; it's a Hibernate
'session' object that knows how to get db connections. Hibernate is an O/R
mapping tool. It is important to close this resource when the request is
done.) In other words, the following code might trigger a lazy load:
%-- might call customer.getDetails, which triggers a db read: --%
bean:write name=customer.details/
Details aside, I want to keep a certain resource available for all JSP's,
and make sure to close it when the JSP's are done.
I'm using tiles, so there's lots of JSP servlets invoked in one request. I
tried using a servlet filter that closed the resource after calling
chain.doFilter. The problem is that the filter gets called many times per
request, for each action and Tile JSP in the request. Can I use
response.isCommitted to see if the JSP's are done writing stuff? Something
like this:
class MyFilter implements ServletFilter {
void doFilter(request, response, chain) {
if (isResourceOpen() == false) {
openResource();
}
try {
chain.doFilter(...);
}
catch (Throwable t) {
closeResource();
throw t;
}
if (response.isCommitted()) {
closeResource();
}
}
}
If this doesn't work, is there another way to keep a resource available for
all the Tiles JSP servlets in a request, and make sure to close the resource
when the request is finally complete? I'm new to servlet filters, so there
might be something I'm missing.
Thanks!

Chaining one action class with another- Help needed..
Hi All,
I have an requirement wherein i want to pass the control from one action
class to another .
i want to chain one action class after another .
I tried the following .
Method1
Struts Config
action path=action path1 type=name of the first action class
name=form bean name scope=request
forward name=redirect path=/testRedirect.do/
forward name=redirect1 path=/testRedirect1.do/
forward name=redirect2 path=name of the JSP/
/action
action path=/testRedirect type=name of the second action
class unknown=true
forward name=test1 path=name of the JSP /
/action
for this i gave the following in my first action class
if(condition1 ) {
return (mapping.findForward(redirect));
} else if(condition2) {
return (mapping.findForward(redirect1));
} else {
return (mapping.findForward(redirect2));
}
Method2
Struts Config
action path=action path1 type=name of the first action class
name=form bean name scope=request
forward name=redirect3 path=name of the JSP which has logic
redirect/
forward name=redirect4 path=name of the JSP/
/action
action path=/testRedirect type=name of the second action
class unknown=true
forward name=test1 path=name of the JSP /
/action
i coded the redirect JSP as
%@ taglib uri=/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld prefix=logic %
% System.out.println(Inside the redirect page:);
%
logic:redirect page=/testRedirect.do/
I could not achive redirecting in both methods. Iam getting HTTP Status
500 - No action instance for path /testRedirect could be created
Can anyone let me know how to achieve chaining of action classes.
With this chaining i can reuse the action classes without copying code to
achieve similar functionality.
Does struts allow this??
Cheers
Seshadri

Passing parameters with requestURI of display:table tag
And speaking of Ed Hill's Display tags (yes, very useful) ... I am having trouble figuring out how to pass parameters with the requestURI attribute of a display:table tag without breaking the paging functionality. I've got an Action path set to the requestURI, and the display:table tag automatically adds on the ?page=# parameter for each header page link. All is well. Now I am using the tags with an Action that requires an input parameter in order to rebuild the JSP. (As ugly as the following code is) I add my parameter to the requestURI, but then end up with two ? in the resolved url. I have in my JSP: snip display:table name=myform property=myList pagesize=15 requestURI='%=((String)request.getAttribute(modulePrefix)). concat(/myAction.do?field= + request.getParameter(myField) + ))%' decorator=com.myCompany.decorator.myDecorator /snip This resolves to http:/... /myAction.do?field=someValue?page=2 for the url of my list page 2. Within the display:column tag you can use the paramName and paramId properties, but they are not available for display:table. In scanning through the TableTag source code, it looks like there is a check for the presence of a ? in the url, which should cause the page parameter to get added on the end like page=2.

Re: QUESTIONS: Ed Hill's Display Custom Tag Library
Actually a lot has been done on this tag lately by Tim Golden (and I added a little bit to allow you to add an array of columns to display). Tim could post the link to where the latest jar he worked on is. I don't have the link here but have it at home if he doesn't reply to the list before tomorrow. Here is a list of some of the functionality he has added: From a previous post to the list by Tim: I have included a way to define: 1. paging.banner.prev_marker_left instead of the default [ you can now use any string including html 2. paging.banner.prev_marker_right instead of the default ] you can now use any string including html 3. paging.banner.table.width In case you want to have the generated html table tag set to something other than 100% you can now specify the width as any string (ie 100 or 50%) 4. also I noticed that when you want to use the requestURI=somepage.jsp?XYZ=bob123=sallyattribute and include additional parameters (ie XYZ=bob123=sally) the taglib would append the ?page=2 to the end of your URI like this: somepage.jsp?XYZ=bob123=sally?page=2 I have put a test in to check if the URI contains a ? and change the ? to a (ie from: somepage.jsp?XYZ=bob123=sally?page=2 to somepage.jsp?XYZ=bob123=sallypage=2 ) 5. I have also removed the th and replaced them with td tags. Netscape 4.7 has a hard time using style sheets to override the alignment of the content.

However, this is not happening. Hopefully, I am missing something basic. Has anyone had experience with this? I hope my question is clear, I could really use some help!

Re: QUESTIONS: Ed Hill's Display Custom Tag Library
You can check out Tim's latest updates to the display tag and get the latest jar and source code here: http://timgolden.com/taglib/ Both of us have tried also to get a hold of Ed for a long time now and I think he's disappeared:) Anyway he started some great work which is easy to build upon. Tim added some very useful changes that you can find on the site above. I believe he also added the minor change I made that lets you add an array of columns to display. This comes in handy since, no the logic tag does not work within the display tag. For an example of adding custom columns: display:table name=foo columnNames=arrayOfColumnNamesInScope The columNames array needs to match the names of the actually column Name headers NOT the field names. (That should probably be changed or allowed as a different option to use either the column name headers or the actual bean field names).

context relative image reference in a CSS file
I recall seeing someone mention a project on sourceforge that allowed one to
make context independent references to images from the context root within
CSS files. Anyone? Or perhaps another solution?
I've got this entry in my stylesheet.css file:
ul {
list-style-image: url(/images/li.gif);
}
and it's causing one hell of a headache as the app is deployed on different
contexts. Any ideas?

RE: context relative image reference in a CSS file
The simplest solution is to use a relative path:
ul {
list-style-image: url(../images/li.gif);
}
If you have your CSS file in folder 'css' (for instance), with sibling folder
'images', this will work no matter what the app. context name is, in Tomcat at least
(I assume other web servers resolve the same way though).
Second option: If you're using ant to deploy, you could use tokens in your CSS files
and have ant replace them during copy/deploy using a filter task--you can
conditionally use different filter values for replacement depending on a deploy target
property or something. That's all I can think of.

Struts forwards requests as http when jsp page was invoked as https
Hello, I need help figuring out how to make my struts application work with ssl. I'll try to give a brief overview of what I'm doing: I invoke the mai.jsp file using https protocol. No problem there. Links off that page work fine because they are built as https://somelink...;. The problem is that when I click on any of the buttons defined inside a struts form it pops up a dialog box telling me that I'm about to be redirected to a connection that is not secure. If I click yes it goes to that page but the url is now http://host:443/somelink...;. I'm sure there is a way to get struts to build the url using the protocol I came into the application with but I can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Here are some snippets of the main.jsp, struts-config.xml and java files. Code snippet from main.jsp file: %@taglib uri=/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld prefix=html % ... html:form action=timesheetMain method=POST ... html:submit property=submitButton value=Add / ... /html:form ...

Web Application Frameworks Paper Overview
Hi everyone, Just in case anybody missed this the first time as it was not posted as a main topic I've just resent it with the links.. Original Message. I'm currently writing a paper for one of my University assignments on web application frameworks. It basically covers the different approaches that web frameworks take and is focused around Struts and a product currently being developed in the university using Struts. It also covers Maverick, Cocoon, Freemarker, Barracuda and Tapestry with an overview of Java Server Faces. The problem I have is that its very difficult to get feedback on this type of thing with there being nobody who really knows about these types of things. If anybody could possibly spare some time to have a wander through it and give me some feedback then I would be very grateful as you guys are the experts here and active users of the struts framework itself. If you could possibly spare some time to give me some help and feedback on it then I'd be extremely appreciative, Many thanks, Jonathan Holloway.

RE: context relative image reference in a CSS file
Okay, well I couldn't swear that list-style-image: works like background: in CSS
sheets ('cause I haven't used it), but I would assume that it does. We use something
like this all over our CSS:
background: url(../images/icon_confirm.gif);
The url reference above is intepreted by the *browser* relative to the location of the
CSS file itself. What file(s) the link to your CSS file is found in is irrelevant for
this interpretation, only the location of the CSS file matters.

first action
hey guys, what is the best way to implement a startup action that always will be executed first before any jsp is hit? thanks yan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: first action
Sounds more like a PlugIn. Here are the API docs: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/api/org/apache/struts/action/PlugIn.htm l You just implement this interface, configure it in your config.xml file and you're up and running.

RE: first action
You usually want to do this whilst initializing you app. In this case, simple and pretty much standard would be to write a servlet (generic if you don't want to be tied to http) as part of your web-app. All you do is implement its init() method and declare it in your web.xml. Only once init is done for all your servlets, can the users hit your pages.

Struts Productivity Survey
I am conducting an informal survey to determine how difficult it is for new developers with differing skills becomve productive with Struts. This really only applies to those using 1.1x. Anyone who is willing, please answer the following questions: 1. How long did it take you to get the Struts Framework up and running for the first time? 2. How long did it take you to get your first business component going in the Struts Framework (this involves Action class, page, business objects, etc. from start to completion.) 3. Would you describe your Software Development experience as a) novice, b) advanced, or c) expert? 4. Would you describe your Java competencies as a) novice, b) advanced, or c) expert? 5. Would you describe your J2EE/servlet/JSP competencies as a) novice, b) advanced, or c) expert? 6. What was the hardest part about learning Struts for you? Thanks. If the response is interesting I'll compile it and post it back to the list. Greg
Re: Struts Productivity Survey
The problem with this survey is that the results you would get would not be accurate for assessing the time it would take new developers to catch on to using Struts at the present time. There is now a lot more documentation and examples out there to learn from than there was just six months ago. My biggest frustration in the beginning was the lack of examples and cohesive documentation of how all the different pieces fit together. Most of the learning took place by digging into the examples that come with struts and those on Ted's site and then asking questions. Now, however, there are several great books out there( Chucks, Ted's, etc.) and had I had them when I first started life would have been much easier. I think it's really going be difficult to get an accurate feel for how long it takes people to get 'up to speed' with struts since I think it's much easier now for new developers to learn struts simply due to the books and better documentation available.

[FRIDAY] RE: Struts Productivity Survey
Why son, back in my day I remember havin ta trudge twenty miles through the snow just to get my hands on one of them struts 1.02 source files cos we didnt have no documentation back then! Nope. None of that fancy (e)book learning for us son! Werent no struts classes we cud take either - an I means that in both senses as we didnt have class files like as ye hev now - we had to execute the code ourselves. None of them jvm things was invented yet. A'cos, once ye got yerself a source file, yer'd hev ta thaw it out afore ye cud read it. We didnt hev no fancy ant tasks for that back then. Nosiree - yed hev to use real fire and heat it real careful like, then ye cud load it into yer steam powered beta version of vi and work out just what that critter was up to. A'cos there werent no sruts list back then neither. Why - if we had us a question bout some source file - well we'd just hev ta trudge that twenty miles so as to send a telegram to Craig, and then we'd have to wait us a whole week and trudge us another twenty miles to get the reply. Mind you son - some things was better back then too. We din't hev no internet so's we din't need ta worry ourselves about writin' any of them fancy newfangled jayespees or html forms, and since we didnt hav ta do them, why them thar action classes seemed a lot easier to do too... Nows that I come to think of it, we spent pretty darn well most of our development time out in the snow - if we weren't cartin round frozen source code files then we was cuttin wood to thaw them out or to burn in the boiler so as we cud use vi to read em - did I mention as how it was steam powered back then?... ...hang on.
