You cannot parse the date client side as you don't know the current locale the 
client has choosen and if you knew you couldn't find out the date pattern for 
the locale either. So you do not have pattern to match with.

Remove the javascript section from validator-rules.xml since it works only if 
you specify datePatternStrict. If you remove it, the validation will occur 
server side only. And server-side validation uses the current client locale's 
date format, afaik.

My IE, Tomcat, or Struts problem?

[joni santoso]

Hi,

I created a folder in my webapps for playing with struts. 
I have put a Context entry in my Tomcat's server.xml 
stating that that folder is reloadable = true.

Now, I sometimes add new entry/edit an entry to the 
application resources file. When I refresh my IE, it 
doesn't show the new entry/new value. However, if I keep 
refreshing it works.

So, what is the problem?

RE: Value of Struts?

[J Aaron Farr]

Personally I think one of the advantages of Struts is that it's a fairly
lightweight framework.  What I mean is that, as you pointed out, all it
does is Model 2.  It's not a full portal framework like jetspeed and it
doesn't even have a full model framework like Turbine's torque.  That's
nothing against these projects (I love and use them both), but sometimes
you don't need all those extras and Struts gives you just enough to get
the job done.  

Sometimes the greatest feature is that fact that the "drudgery" of
writing the framework is done for you.  You can simply just get to work
on what makes your application unique.

If you've seen the early access version of JavaServer Faces that is
currently available, you know that the linkage between UI components and
model tier JavaBeans is expressed via a "model reference expression" that
is associated with each component.  In the next EA release, you'll see
that the syntax used for model reference expressions has been enhanced to
be exactly like a variable reference in the expression language (EL) used
by the JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL)  -- indeed, the reference
implementation of JavaServer Faces uses the exact same expression
evaluator code.  So, anything you can address through a JSTL expression
today can be the source or destination of model tier data for a JavaServer
Faces component.

If you convert dates to some string-based format in your VOs, how do *you*
know that you've selected the one-and-only format that all your users will
ever want to display dates in?  What happens when you want to support
international users that want to select their own date formats, based on
the Locale setting for that user?

My advice is to keep your VOs using native (locale-independent) data
types, and let the tags (if you're using JSP) or other conversion
mechanism do the appropriate locale-sensitive formatting.

Form beans, on the other hand, should generally use Strings for things
that are going to be represented as HTML input fields -- for reasons that
have been discussed hundreds of times before in the STRUTS-USER archives.

*If* you are a good boy :-) and route all your incoming requests through
the controller servlet (as opposed to linking directly to a JSP page),
then the controller servlet will have stored the ModuleConfig object for
the selected application module as a request attribute under the key
represented by Globals.APPLICATION_KEY
("org.apache.struts.action.MODULE").  From the ModuleConfig you can get
everything you want to know that came from struts-config.xml for that
module.

Set up an ActionForward that has a request URL mapped to another Action,
and return it from the first Action.

Be aware that I'm *not* a believer in Action chaining -- too many people
get surprised by the interactions with form beans when you do this.
Instead, I advocate that the one-and-only Action that you submit to should
delegate to all the individual pieces of business logic it needs to (in
separate classes), and that you should reuse these business logic classes
as needed in multiple actions.

If we want a real "chain of responsibility" pattern (which is what action
chaining is really about), we should set that up as a first class notion.
That's one of the ideas I'm looking at for Struts 2.x.  In the mean time,
though, I consider action chaining to be a misuse of the current
architecture -- although other Struts committers may disagree.

RE: Value of Struts?

[Carl Fyffe]

On top of all of the comments that have been presented, I would like to
say this:

I was given a task to create a site, I had 1 month to make it happen.
Luckily I had great requirements, and a great DBA by my side to help
with the model portion.  I went through the requirements, came up with a
specification, and started estimating the number of hours it was going
to take to make it happen.  2 months.  Long story short, I got it done
in one month.  Time to implement new modules went from 8 hours per
module to 2. Needless to say, my team came out looking like stars.

Is it just a framework abstracting away the easy stuff into easier
stuff?  I think the abstracted parts are the more complicated parts.
It's a framework!!  Think about a house and what it looks like before
the bricks are laid and the shingles tacked on.  After you have the
framework up, the rest is just repetition.

Some of the things that are in 1.1 but not 1.0: Nested tags, Tiles,
Validation, File Upload, various html, logic and bean tags and Dyna
Forms.

For those who are having trouble finding good editors, Macromedia MX has
extensions to work with Struts.  Intellij's IDEA works really well with
Struts if you are a code junkie.

Throw in the cost for the product ( $0 ) and add in support ( $0 )
documentation ( $0 )  and then factor in the number of hours you put
into creating it all ( 0 ).  I would have to say that Struts delivers a
pretty huge bang for the buck.

Oh yeah, did I mention that it is EASY too?

Thanks Craig, Ted, Arron, Cedric, David, David, Martin and the rest of
the Contributors for providing such an awesome product.

Struts' main functionality is in the C of MVC.  There are integrated
pieces 
to make the V much easier (Tiles and custom tags).  The M is up to you.

What do you expect Struts to do, make your coffee ;-)?

You need to consider the thousands of hours that highly paid engineers
have 
put into this project.  If you really want to know the "value of
struts", 
just guess an average salary and multiply by number of hours.  If you
guess 
appropriately, the number should stagger you.

Also consider you're using a very old version of Struts.  I encourage
you to 
check out 1.1; the version numbering is *very* modest.

DynaBeans, Struts, OR mapping tools and code generators

[Tony Baity]

Has anyone seen any effort afoot to make a drag-N-drop between a GUI like the one in 
MiddleGen and an ActionForm so that you can build your pages using point and click and 
have all the code generation for the action classes, DTOs/VOs, EJBs/DAOs done behind 
the scenes xdoclet style. I know the propriatary nature of some databases and app 
servers makes this a little difficult but it looks like a lot of pieces for this are 
starting to fall in place. Especially with the new commons-beanutils with features 
such as  RowSetDynaClass (as recently mentioned by Craig)

I don't mind coding all this stuff by hand... Not!... and don't mind trying out 
various popular OR mapping tools and code generators (free ones that is). But it seems 
like someone might be looking at assembling into a single tool many of the loosely 
coupled projects not only at Apache but also sourceforge.

I am looking forward to see what the SUN Faces product will do and how Struts and JSTL 
relates to or is incorporated into that but I do not know easy it will be to map 
database fields to a "face".

But for my next scheduled development with Stuts 1.1 and the new commons code, this 
looks like still a lot of hand coding or hand configuring of code generators... 

I suppose I'll need to ask each of the current tool's user lists to see if they are 
planning to support some of the new features and integration with Struts. 

:) But I wanted poll the great Struts masses first :)

data types on the travel between DB and view -- best to makeeverything Strings?

[Trevor Morris]

Where and when do you do data conversion between the DB, Business, and View
levels?  When you grab data out of the DB and set them in your VOs, do you
set dates as Dates, ints as ints, etc?  Or is it easier to just leave
everything as Strings and pass them around.  The majority of data in web
apps is only used for display.  Little data has any logic performed against
it.  If it does, you can just cast the String to the appropriate type when
needed.

String number1;
String number2;

e.g.  if (Integer.parseInt(number1) < Integer.parseInt(number2) {}

What purpose really is there in keeping the data in their native types?  If
you do, you have so much work to do in the transfer between the view and
business layers.

Thanks for any advice.

of all the scriplet code.  

Short deadline + overworked programmer = trying to steal code instead of
reinventing the wheel ;)

Anyone seen anything in any struts example code out there?

Create a bean representing each row returned, put them in a collection
in the form bean and then use the  tag to populate the
page.

Re: struts application and skins

[David Graham]

You could setup a filter that checked the requested domain name and set the 
root path to your resources into a ServletContext attribute accordingly.  
You could use that variable in your jsps to generate urls to your skins.

Subject: struts application and skins
Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2003 18:56:01 -0500

I want to create an application that changes the "skin" of the application
based on the url the application is accessed from.  For example, if a user
accesses the appliation from www.foo.com then i want to use foo.css the CSS
and /image/foo/ for all images on the page.  If a user accesses the
application from www.bar.com then i want to use bar.css for the cSS and
/images/bar/ for all images on the page.  I am fairly new with struts and
haven't had a whole lot of luck coming up with a good design of how to
accomplish this.  Has anyone tried to do something similar?  What would be
the best/a good way of going about this?

Thanks.

Re: Value of Struts?

[David Graham]

Struts' main functionality is in the C of MVC.  There are integrated pieces 
to make the V much easier (Tiles and custom tags).  The M is up to you.  
What do you expect Struts to do, make your coffee ;-)?

You need to consider the thousands of hours that highly paid engineers have 
put into this project.  If you really want to know the "value of struts", 
just guess an average salary and multiply by number of hours.  If you guess 
appropriately, the number should stagger you.

Also consider you're using a very old version of Struts.  I encourage you to 
check out 1.1; the version numbering is *very* modest.

I've been using Struts (1.0) for a few months now, and
I'm not seeing a big advantage to using it other than
that it does Model 2 (which is very very wise) and
hides some of the heavy lifting.

ActionForms get you server side form validation and
HTTP parameters->bean mapping.

The taglibs get you reduced scriplet code and hooks to
the form bean.

Actions get you a clean place to write controller code
and a way to easily forward to presentation jsps.

Is that all Struts does?  Or are there features I'm
missing?  Is it just a framework abstracting away the
easy stuff into easier stuff?

I'm not trying to start a war - I'm sorry if I'm
coming of antagonistic.  I'm not intending any ill
will.  I'm just having a hard time figuring out why
Struts is so popular.

Re: perform method deprecated??

[Tony Baity]

If you really like having the perform method separate from the execute, just keep it. 
But extend the Action class to create a new base class. That way, if perform is ever 
permanantly removed, your code will still work.
For instance, I created a base class that extended Action and called it 
CounselorAction ( for all the actions applicable to the business rules for counselors 
- whoever they are) and then packed a lot of common code before/after the call to the 
perform method inside the execute method. This way, all the action classes for 
"counselors" inherit all the common functionality. I ignore the deprecated warning in 
this case since I know what it is.
An alternative that I have seen is to create a second command pattern with is own base 
class and child classes for the business logic and execute those from the execute 
method in the child Action class but then the number classes that you have  to write 
is doubled for each action.

Subject: Creating an Action inside an Action

In the current API 1.1 beta3 which has changed.

I have an Action `Preloader' but I what to create or get another a reference
to Action `Activate'. What is the best way to do this.

public class Preloader extends DispatchAction {
	public void execute( ... ) {

		ActionServlet servlet = getServlet();
		RequestProcessor processor = servlet.getRequestProcessor();

		Action activateAction = processor.createActionCreate();

	}
}

Unfortunately the `ActionServlet.getRequestProcessor' call is protected.
What I was to do is prepopulate the action form that is
associated with `Activate' action mapping ?

		ActivateForm = magic_api.getActionForm( "/activate" );
		activateForm.setSymbol("alpha");

Then I can dispatch forward to the activate mapping.

This is sort of like action chaining but difference.

Any ideas on the new best practice?




The simplest thing to do is declare a form bean name in the 
element for Preloader -- then, Struts will precreate the bean for you and
pass it as the ActionForm parameter, ready for you to populate.  If you
use this technique, you'll probably also want to say validate="false" on
the preloader action, since the newly created form bean won't be able to
pass your validation checks.

For programmatic form bean creation, check out
RequestUtils.createActionForm().



Actually, Craig, what I am looking for is:

(1) How to find all the action mappings registered for a Struts application?
I would like to programmatically find out from inside `Action.execute()'.

(2) How to programmatically instantiate and then invoke an Action?
I guess this is really is Action chaining, isn't.
I would prefer to call it `transitioning' as in giving up the
responsibility to process a http request to secondary action.

In another earlier note, I found a way to forward dispatch using request
attributes and local action forwards. I did it this way in Struts 1.0.2
seven or eight months ago.

Re: Value of Struts?

[Max Cooper]

One of the important values I have found is that it makes your app somewhat
"regular" in the sense that you know where to look for things no matter who
wrote the page. Without Struts, you would have to spend time writing and
describing how to use your own MVC framework, or simply let everyone on the
team do whatever they want (and deal with the resulting mess). With Struts,
the basic MVC architecture is already defined and stable, the points of
configuration are well defined and well known, etc.

Re: Value of Struts?

"Democracy is the worst kind of government there is, except for 
everything else out there".
I think W. Churchill.

Think of Struts as kindergarten: "We put our coasts here, we put our 
books here, etc."
It also has best productivity if you do it right. 2 ti 3 CRUD M/D muli 
row modules per day is easy.
Decorative validation, declarative action mapping security, declarative 
layouts w/tiles, easy for IDE to generate beans getters/setters, it can 
use standard tag lib.
You can go from portyotpe in html to ren *.html *.jsp, add actions and 
pick a nice light persistance layer and you are so done.

But:
Struts does not make your project successful, that would be requirements.
It does not enforce an iterative development process, etc.
You can have a good tool and point it in your head and pull the trigger.
Ex: is OO, java is OO capable, but you can be object disoriented and 
code very slow.

FREE doncha think?
>From my perspective you can add to it applicationresources.properties, which
allows for i18n (for free) and standardisation of phraseology across the

the presentation layer, especially since it's free!

Just be glad that Mark doesn't seem to be active on the list today!

The short answer is that it does help with a number of things that you have mentioned 
yourself. It's a framework, so by definition it does have a rigidity to it.

You are more than welcome to not use it. I use it because I want to work on web 
applications in one, best practice kind of way and Struts gives me that. There are 
other valid ways that I could code web applications, but I like having one less thing 
to worry about. I prefer the back end coding anyway, so having something give me lots 
of help with the front end is my idea of a very good thing.

Value of Struts?

[Gene Campbell]

I've been using Struts (1.0) for a few months now, and
I'm not seeing a big advantage to using it other than
that it does Model 2 (which is very very wise) and
hides some of the heavy lifting.  

ActionForms get you server side form validation and
HTTP parameters->bean mapping.  

The taglibs get you reduced scriplet code and hooks to
the form bean.

Actions get you a clean place to write controller code
and a way to easily forward to presentation jsps.

Is that all Struts does?  Or are there features I'm
missing?  Is it just a framework abstracting away the
easy stuff into easier stuff?

I'm not trying to start a war - I'm sorry if I'm
coming of antagonistic.  I'm not intending any ill
will.  I'm just having a hard time figuring out why
Struts is so popular.  

thanks - gene

modules use questions

[Kirby Vandivort]

Hello,

I'm new to modules and have a few questions about how to use them
most effectively.

my web app the general look and feel of having an html menu bar along
the left side of the screen and a "work" area that takes up the rest.
The "work" area can be handled by modules.  This is a pretty straight
forward thing.

All the different modules would then need to share the same left menu
bar.  From what I'm seeing about modules, they are really totally self
contained.  Where would I put the information (jsp's, beans, etc) that
service the left menu bar so that it isn't specific to a particular
module?

(I'm also thinking I should be using tiles here, but to be frank, I'm
having trouble seeing what makes tiles all that much more useful than
doing includes in the jsp files)

On a related note, all of the web app depends on the user being
identified as a user.  How does this relate to modules?  Can all of the
modules access common code somewhere to accomplish things like user
authentication?

Thanks in advance for the help on what are undoubtably dumb questions.

Check the .war file to see if the file is actually there.
Make sure your build process is actually copying the files to be war'd.

It has happened in the past that my build script was not doing this.

[Micael]

Thanks for catching that, Wendy, but that was just a typo.  The site 
actually does not have that mistake.  Any other ideas?

You have 'resource.application' as the parameter, but your directory name is
plural: resources.  Fix one or the other so they match.

How to: different actions, different form beans (ActionForms), sameJSP

[Eric Rizzo]

If this is an "already asked/answered" please forgive and point me to 
the FAQ, tutorial, or previous message that discusses it. I've searched 
jGuru and browsed the tips at husted.com without luck.

I have two actions, each with its own form bean/ActionForm, that both 
need to forward to the same JSP. That content of that JSP can then 
submit to a third action.
Action1, which uses a form bean of type FormBean1 does one kind of 
search. Action2, using FormBean2, does a different kind of search. 
FormBean2 extends FormBean1. There is one JSP that displays the results 
of either type of search (iterates over a result object that is stored 
in FormBean). The JSP also has a form on it that submits to Action3, 
which also uses FormBean1.
How can I set it up so that both of these actions can forward to the 
JSP? Action2 can set the results object and forward to the JSP, but the 
JSP is expecting to use FormBean1, so it doesn't see the data that 
Action2 stored in FormBean2.

Here's what I configured it like, without luck:


type="com.jibe.Action1"
name="form1"
scope="session">

 path="/jsp/results.jsp" />



type="com.jibe.Action2"
name="form2"
scope="session">

 path="/jsp/results.jsp" />



When results.jsp is processing after coming from Action2, it doesn't 
find any results in the bean.

I figure this must be a common scenario, but I can't seem to figure out 
the configuration.

TIA,
	Eric

Is there a STRUTS users group in Calgary ?

putList in a tiles definition

[Justin Ashworth]

Hi All,

Is there any way to make a list available to a certain tile in a definition?
In effect, I want to do something like this...









...where "thinglist" would be iterated over in some_tile.jsp.

The problem is that the tiles-config DTD doesn't allow  elements to
come before  elements.  If I move the  after the , then
thinglist isn't defined by the time some_tile.jsp is loaded.  All
documentation I find for putList only mentions using the tag within the
context of a , not within a definition.  How can I define a
list in my definition and iterate over it in a tile?

Thanks,

Justin

Re: Allow user to change password using CMS

[Max Cooper]

Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater! ;-) It is still useful to have
the container manage the security in a standard, time-tested,
essentially-free-to-implement way.

It just means that the spec doesn't provide any help in changing your
password. However, you just need to access the same data that the container
is using to determine access and make the change yourself. If it is an
RDBMS, it will be just like making any other change in a data-driven app.

In a Portal situation, perhaps it would be useful to have a "password
change" app, or integrate this functionality into an existing "user profile
/ settings management" utility app.

It would only be useful if you were using OC4J, and not very useful even
then - as it's pretty specific to our situation.

RE: Why is the reset method called when I submit the form?

[pqin]

I guess struts calls reset in order to save all your input and then does the
validation

It seems that when I submit my form, the reset method is called before
the validate method.  I am using struts 1.0.2.  

Any insight?

Re: Allow user to change password using CMS

[Dan Tran]

I am using tomcat 4.1.18 using tomcat-users.xml to store user/role
information.

I can write a UserManagerFactory to handle container specific implemention.
But If you have one implemented already I would love to use it

You have to specify the application resources in the struts-config.xml.

RE: Allow user to change password using CMS

[Jarnot Voytek Contr AU HQ/SC]

I use CMS, and wrote a custom UserManager (container specific) which
authenticates users against a  database.  To change passwords, etc. users
simply access a regular page (Struts driven, of course) which allows them to
modify the password that's in the database.

What kind of CMS were you planning to use - a default implementation which
stores the user/password/etc data in principles.xml?  Not very robust or
secure.  Regardless of container, you'll end up storing passwords in a DB or
LDAP - just write code to modify the password in the datastore.

Calling pageContext.getServletContext() will get you the ServletContext
instance, although that won't help you get the context path.  For that you
need:

  HttpServletRequest request =
(HttpServletRequest) pageContext.getRequest();
  String contextPath = request.getContextPath();

There are lots of opinions on how evaluation of something like this should
happen :-).  JSTL, for example, chose a path somewhat more like what you
suggest -- it returns a zero-length string for situations like this.  For
the target audience of JSTL (page authors), that probably makes sense,
because the ultimate destination is usually the output page where you need
Strings.  It doesn't make *quite* as much sense for general purpose
property manipulation in a Java program.

In order to do something "smarter" than that, though, you've got to figure
out how to instantiate the "someClass" variable.  A default constructor
might work, IF there is one, and IF you know what class you're talking
about (you won't if someForm is actually a Map).  And, for some people,
the preference would be to configure some sort of a factory for such
objects.  And then you have to configure the mess ...

In practical terms, it's too late in a 1.1 time frame to change this, and
it would undoubtedly cause backwards compatibility problems as well, so
implementing a change this radical in any 1.x release seems problematic.

My personal preference is going to be to encourage folks to move towards
using JSTL expressions (which are also getting built in to JSP 2.0 so you
can use them everywhere in your page).  As a transition tool, the
struts-el libraries are included in 1.1 (in the "contrib" directory) --
they are variations on existing Struts tags, but accept the standard EL
syntax (and therefore behave the way that JSTL tags do with respect to
null values like this).

RE: db connection pool question

[Raible, Matt]

Furthermore, Tomcat 4.1.x makes this even easier by allowing you to put a
context.xml file into the webapps directory, rather than putting a context
entry in servlet.xml.  This makes it even easier to setup your app on a new
server.  I have an ant task called "setup-tomcat" that copies my jdbc-driver
to $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib and my-app.xml to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps and
tomcat is ready to go!

Subject: Using taglibs-log.tld for logging


I have been struggling with the implementation of taglibs-log.tld with my
struts project.  

The following line is included in web.xml.  



The file taglibs-log.tld is present under /WEB-INF
The file taglibs-log.jar is present under /WEB-INF/lib
The file log4j.properties is present under /WEB-INF/classes and is loading
successfully as my blank FileAppenders are being created successfully in the
log destination directory.

The following line is present in my JSP to include the taglib.

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/taglibs-log.tld" prefix="log" %>

The following line is used in my JSP to create a log entry.



I am skeptical whether my use of category is correct or not.  I have been
scouring the web and going through both Log4J documentation as well as
Taglibs-Log documentation (which is really limited due to its recent
release) but have been unable to figure out how the category maps to log4j.
I am including a section of my log4j.properties file in case that would
help.

RE: Can Action Forward be used to open a new brower window?

[Michael Cardon]

Thanks Max,

The links work fine if I'm going straight to a jsp page, but I hit the
Action class before the jsp is rendered and that's why I have this problem.

I was hoping there was a parameter I could include in the forward tag of the
struts-conf.xml file that would open the page in a new browser window, but
such is not the case.



It was just some wishful thinking on part of something I was trying to do.

Subject: Re: Can Action Forward be used to open a new brower window?


Forwards happen on the server, so there is no simple way to have a forward
pop up in a new window. If the browser makes a request for /showItToMe.do,
you can forward it 1,000 times on the server and it is still just one
request to the browser. And it is going to display the response in whatever
browser window made the request.

However, you can make the action pop up in a new window by changing the
links to that action. This is probably what you want to do. On the page that
has the link to your action, have it render HTML like this:

Click me

instead of just:

Click me

(Obviously, this is a very simple example. You'll probably want to use
html:link and perhaps even some JavaScript to control the pop-up window's
properties. I am sure there are many resources with details about creating
pop-up windows available on the web.)

I imagine you could also do some kind of response that had both some page
content for the main window, plus a JavaScript to open a new window and
request the other action. But, that would be messy and many people have this
kind of browser functionality disabled to avoid unwanted pop-ups. This is
probably not a good idea.

The HTML it gives is
  
Foo.Bar
  


What I want it to give is a url of /foo/secure/Catalog.do?value=Foo.Bar.


In my Tag Java class, I am doing the following.  

  StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer("");
  buf.append(this.value);


If I could get the servletContext() I could probably append it before
this.url and it would solve my problem.  Of course, if anyone has any other
suggestions, that would be great too.

I think this will do what you want:


I use it to put the context name in front of links, like this:
   " type="text/css">

Which produces:

Along the same lines, I have a custom tag that I am writing which opens a
popup window to describe Glossary Items.  However, the popup does not get
the application root in the URL automatically.  

For example, if my application root is foo, when I pass in the url
/secure/Glossary.do, instead of opening up /foo/secure/Glossary.do it tries
to go to /secure/Glossary.do.  

I have been going through JavaDocs related to the BaseTagSupport but to no
avail.  I think getting the servletContext() and appending it in front of
the URL so that I don't have to add it to the URL path would be the desired
solution.  Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can go about doing that?
I am ready to face the RTFM inquisition if necessary.  :)

RE: db connection pool question

[mech]

It's not really conform to the idea that the deploying administrator
shouldn't have to touch the webapp to make it run. In case you want to
configure your .war packed webapp you would have to unpack, edit
struts-config.xml and so on.
One idea behind J2EE was "write once, run everywhere, as long as you can
deploy it" ;-)
And thus the deployment should be independent from the webapp internals.

So server.xml is the cleaner solution even if it won't make a big
difference in many cases.

Development must be non-container specific (specs), deployment is
container specific and shouldn't be webapp specific.

problems with forward

[Softwareentwicklung Hauschel]

Hey,
i've a index.jsp with the title as message: 
on the index.jsp there is a link tp logon.jsp: Login
I can execute the logon.jsp without Problems, if the user press the link to
logon.jsp,
the logon.jsp is shown. If he press submit, the loginAction.class is
executed.
If the user isn't allowed, the action did a forward to index.jsp.






And now theres a problem:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Missing message for key index.title
at
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:2
48)
at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:295)

Why is the message missing, the first time it's available ?!?!?!

Can anybody help me ?

null references in ActionForms

[John . E . Gregg]

Hi all,
 
I'm curious about why forms don't like null references.  Let's say I have a
form with a ref to a domain class that I wrote.  That class has a name
attribute.  Struts complains when it tries to reference
someForm.someClass.name if someClass is null.  In the case of displaying an
entry page for the first time, if someForm.someClass is null, Struts I think
should either ignore it, as it would if someForm.someClass.name were null,
or it should call the default constructor and go from there.  Why does it
not do this?  Can it be configured to do so?  Is there an alternative?  I
see FormPropertyConfig but it only applies to DynaForms.  For now I've
tweaked my getters to return a new instance if the ref is null, but I'm
uncomfortable with this.  
 
thanks

This is all goodness, but with a potential caveat -- Tomcat has copies of
commones-{collections,dbcp,pool} in its common/lib directory, so watch out
for sharing problems on classes from these packages.

Tomcat's class loader architecture is documented:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/class-loader-howto.html

The fact that each webapp has a separate class loader (loading things from
/WEB-INF/classes and /WEB-INF/lib) is portable.  Anything above that in
the diagram is not, although most containers offer something similar.

Static variables are only global to the class loader that loaded the
containing class, plus any class loaders for which this is the parent.
Therefore, a static variable in a class loaded from the webapp class
loader will be global only to that webapp.

Yes.

The first problem people have with class loaders are generally related to
trying to share things that should not be shared.  For example, trying to
share struts.jar itself (in 1.0.2) is a total waste of time -- Struts
itself used static variables that should not be shared.  (There are other
problems with this too -- you'll get ClassNotFoundExceptions on classes
that Struts tries to load from the webapp.  (Struts 1.1 has experimental
support for being able to share struts.jar, but it's not a supported
configuration -- you're on your own for figuring out problems.)

The second problem people have with class loaders is they try to put JAR
files in the "system extensions" directory of their JVM
($JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext), to avoid having to manipulate the classpath
variable.  In general, this is a very bad idea because it messes up the
class loader that these classes are loaded from.

If you're a editor+Ant developer like me, my advice is to leave CLASSPATH

Yes.  My development cycle is:

1) ant install (depends on the compile target, if needed)
2) test
3) fix something
4) ant reload (depends on compile target)
5) go to 2) unless its beer time, then go to 6)
6) ant remove

I restart Tomcat itself only to upgrade versions or install new JAR files.

This is all available with Tomcat 4.1, and documented as well:

  http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/manager-howto.html

The simplest thing to do is declare a form bean name in the 
element for Preloader -- then, Struts will precreate the bean for you and
pass it as the ActionForm parameter, ready for you to populate.  If you
use this technique, you'll probably also want to say validate="false" on
the preloader action, since the newly created form bean won't be able to
pass your validation checks.

For programmatic form bean creation, check out
RequestUtils.createActionForm().

You actually *can* continue to use perform(), but should plan on a
transition to execute() at some point.

The reason for the method change is that execute() includes "throws
Exception" in its method signature, which was required to enable the new
declarative exception processing feature.  In 1.1, the default execute()
method just calls perform, though, so your existing Actions will still
work.

There never were any UML diagrams for this, but if you go study how SAX
parsing works (lots of references on Google), you'll get the basic idea.

The easiest way to understand what Digester is doing is to turn up the
debugging detail level for the "org.apache.commons.digester" logger.
Then, Digester will happily spit out a megabyte or so of very detailed
trace messages as it parses a complex struts-config.xml file.

There is no spec on this ... it's going to be up to each container to
provide appropriate mechanisms, and any code you write that relies on this
will (of course) be container specific.

It's a common pattern to extend org.apache.struts.action.Action into 
an abstract base action which handles housekeeping.  Something like 
this:


public abstract class BaseAction extends Action
{

  public ActionForward execute(mapping,form,req,resp) throws Exception
  {
  housekeepingMethod();
  ActionForward result = doExecute(mapping,form,req,resp);
  moreHousekeeping(); // if you need it.
  return result;
  }

  public abstract ActionForward doExecute(mapping,form,req,resp);

}

If you ensure that you only use actions which extend your BaseAction, 
you've got it all covered.  We always extend from a local BaseAction 
even before we know we need this or any other behavior; the local 
BaseAction may be empty for a while but it prepares us for the nearly 
inevitable event that we find some behavior which is convenient to 
share among multiple actions.

Hope this helps,
	Joe

 We have multiple web applications running (therefore multiple .war
 files) that share a single .jar file of common business logic and
 database call code.

 In order for the .jar code to know anything about the .war code (for
 logging, etc) I wrote a Session Affinity Manager where the .war code

can

 call SAM.getSAM().setSession(HttpSession session) and the .jar code

can

 call SAM.getSAM().getSession() and get to my session object through a
 ThreadLocal variable.

 Anyway, in my application I need to call the setSession() piece each
 time a request is to be sent to the web server.  Now, I can add this
 code to each and every .jsp and to every Action class, but I was
 wondering if there was any other place that I could do this.

 What I need to call, specifically, for each request (thread) is the
 following:
 HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
 SAM.getSAM().setSession(session);

 Does anyone know a place in Struts where I can do this?  I initially
 thought of the processActionPerform() function inside the
 RequestProcessor class, but would I have to re-write all of the

existing

 code for this function for each of my web applications?

 Thanks.

A third pattern is actually the recommended one -- do the lookup in your
value object every time.  It won't matter on Tomcat (which doesn't support
these features), but it allows high-availabity servers to support
transparent reconfiguration of existing connection pools, or even
switching to a backup database, without making you shut down your
application.

Saving a reference to the connection pool you were given earlier makes all
of that kind of support difficult to impossible.

Re: Can Action Forward be used to open a new brower window?

[Max Cooper]

Forwards happen on the server, so there is no simple way to have a forward
pop up in a new window. If the browser makes a request for /showItToMe.do,
you can forward it 1,000 times on the server and it is still just one
request to the browser. And it is going to display the response in whatever
browser window made the request.

However, you can make the action pop up in a new window by changing the
links to that action. This is probably what you want to do. On the page that
has the link to your action, have it render HTML like this:

Click me

instead of just:

Click me

(Obviously, this is a very simple example. You'll probably want to use
html:link and perhaps even some JavaScript to control the pop-up window's
properties. I am sure there are many resources with details about creating
pop-up windows available on the web.)

I imagine you could also do some kind of response that had both some page
content for the main window, plus a JavaScript to open a new window and
request the other action. But, that would be messy and many people have this
kind of browser functionality disabled to avoid unwanted pop-ups. This is
probably not a good idea.

Allow user to change password using CMS

What is tricky about setting up a datasource in struts-config for 
deployment?  The advantage is that you don't need to worry about container 
specific datasource setup.

I can't tell for Oracle, but for MySQL and the Struts Connection Pool
you have to set some kind of "autoReconnect=true" for your connection
url setup. Otherwise your connection pool will contain only stale
connections after a certain timeout.
MySQL kicked me out after 8 hours of inactivity.
Without autoreconnect you will just pick a "dead" connection out of this
pool, get an exception, most likely even close the broken connection in
your finally-block and put it back into the pool. Next time you grab
another dead connection and so on and forth.

By the way... Are the certain pro and cons for the struts connection
pool vs. the tomcat datasource connection pool?
As far as I know the tomcat connection pool works only via jndi setup
whereas struts utilized the "oldfashioned" way. And moreover you have to
set it up in struts-config.xml which is a bit tricky for deployment.

[OT] [Digester] Mapping Children to Parent Object

[Jacob Hookom]

This is a best-practices question.  I'm nearing the completion of a caching
framework and I'm now writing the configuration package with Digester.












Cache-Config nodes create a CacheController which is a wrapper for a Map of
Caches.  I would like to avoid adding a "name" property to my Cache object,
but still have that value passed to the parent (CacheController) for mapping
purposes.

Does anyone have any pointers as to how to best accomplish this without
modifying my framework code just for Digester?

Best Regards,
Jacob Hookom

Why not extend RequestProcessor and override process(...), make your calls
and then call super.process(...)?  Am I missing something obvious?

Session Affinity Manager

[Brad Balmer]

We have multiple web applications running (therefore multiple .war
files) that share a single .jar file of common business logic and
database call code.

In order for the .jar code to know anything about the .war code (for
logging, etc) I wrote a Session Affinity Manager where the .war code can
call SAM.getSAM().setSession(HttpSession session) and the .jar code can
call SAM.getSAM().getSession() and get to my session object through a
ThreadLocal variable.

Anyway, in my application I need to call the setSession() piece each
time a request is to be sent to the web server.  Now, I can add this
code to each and every .jsp and to every Action class, but I was
wondering if there was any other place that I could do this.

What I need to call, specifically, for each request (thread) is the
following:
HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
SAM.getSAM().setSession(session);

Does anyone know a place in Struts where I can do this?  I initially
thought of the processActionPerform() function inside the
RequestProcessor class, but would I have to re-write all of the existing
code for this function for each of my web applications?

Thanks.

RE: db connection pool question

[mech]

I can't tell for Oracle, but for MySQL and the Struts Connection Pool
you have to set some kind of "autoReconnect=true" for your connection
url setup. Otherwise your connection pool will contain only stale
connections after a certain timeout. 
MySQL kicked me out after 8 hours of inactivity. 
Without autoreconnect you will just pick a "dead" connection out of this
pool, get an exception, most likely even close the broken connection in
your finally-block and put it back into the pool. Next time you grab
another dead connection and so on and forth.

By the way... Are the certain pro and cons for the struts connection
pool vs. the tomcat datasource connection pool?
As far as I know the tomcat connection pool works only via jndi setup
whereas struts utilized the "oldfashioned" way. And moreover you have to
set it up in struts-config.xml which is a bit tricky for deployment.

multibox and DynaValidatorForm

[Durham David Cntr 805CSS/SCBE]

What type should/can I associate with multibox inputs in the form-bean declaration?

The docs say that the multibox property should be an Array, so I tried using 
java.lang.reflect.Array for the type.  This didn't work and neither java.util.Vector.  
So what type should I use?  It is possible to use a multibox with DynaActionForm right?

Also, I'm read about some kind of problem with multiboxes that requires you implement 
the reset method and set the array to length 0 to clear values.  I'm assuming that I 
would need to extend DynaValidatorForm and override reset() to do this.  Is there a 
better way to do this?

Thanks,
