BeanUtils.copyProperties between from and DAO issues
I just wanted to see if I am working an uphill battle here or this
is really the reality of the situation. I think you all might find
this question particularly intriguing.
Assume that my DAO (Data Access Object) is storing a list of ids
which matches with a relationship. For example sake, it is a list
of Service Ids which coorespond to services available. I have the
following method definitions
public List setServices(List services) {}
public List getServices() {}
public void setServicesIds(int[] serviceIds) {}
public int[] getServiceIds() {}
In my form a have a mutiple-select which I populate with all the
industries from the database table. The multiple-select is set as a
java.lang.String[] since all form elements must be of type String
(am I right?)
Now, either I am populating from my form or populating to my form
using BeanUtils.copyProperties(). It would appear as though the
following conversion is failing horribly
int[] -- String[]
and
String[] -- int[]
..since the data never populates or saves (I did change the methods to
using String[] instead of int[] and it worked, so I know the issue
is the datatype, not because I don't know how to setup a form in
struts, I did finally figure that much out).
Short of creating method defintions which take and recieve String[]
arrays or manually iterating the form property in my Action class
and converting them to int[], is there any hope?
rant
Why is is so d*** hard to convert between a string and a primitive
integer in Java??? Damn, in PHP you don't even blink when you have
these two types.

The idea of implementing a serious complex set of business
logic rules in a scripting language like Perl really scares me.
Perl is too much 'write once, read never again'. And that's no good
for business logic that requires maintenance.

[Q] struts-template - I centralized the layout file, but am I missing something?
I have 3 different pages in my test app: Greet Unauthenticated User, Login and Greet Authenticated User There is a PageUnauthGreet.jsp, PageAuthGreet.jsp and PageLoginUser.jsp. Each has an identical structure: %@ taglib uri='/tags/struts-template' prefix='template' % template:insert template='/TemplateMain.jsp' template:put name='pagename' content='Logon' direct='true'/ template:put name='header' content='/TileHeader.jsp'/ template:put name='sidebar' content='/TileSidebar.jsp'/ template:put name='content' content='FOO.jsp'/ /template:insert The only difference between the 3 files is the FOO.jsp which loads the content tile specific for that particular page. Each one loads a different tile: TileUnauth.jsp, TileAuth.jsp and FormLogon.jsp This structure works fine. But it started to bug me that whenever I create a new page, I had to create the structure.jsp and then the tile.jsp So then I implemented a MasterLayout.jsp page like this: %@ taglib uri='/tags/struts-template' prefix='template' % %@ taglib uri='/tags/struts-bean' prefix='bean' % bean:parameter id=tilePage name=tilePage/ bean:define id=fullTilePage value='%= tilePage %'/ template:insert template='/TemplateMain.jsp' template:put name='pagename' content='Logon' direct='true'/ template:put name='header' content='/TileHeader.jsp'/ template:put name='sidebar' content='/TileSidebar.jsp'/ template:put name='content' content='%=fullTilePage%'/ /template:insert Now I've been able to get rid of all my structure.jsp files and replace it with this single MasterLayout.jsp I can invoke it from the struts-config.xml with an action reference like this: action path=/Logon type=org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction parameter=/MasterLayout.jsp?tilePage=FormLogon.jsp/ So essentially, I can now display any page that follows the standard structure by writing a single tile for the content section of the page and then invoking the MasterLayout with a tilePage= parameter to indicate which tile should be thrown into the content section. I have two questions: 1) Am I overlooking something that is likely to bite me? 2) Is there a more elegant way to control the filler tile? In particular, I'm not crazy about the resulting URL line displayed in the browser location. When I forwarded to the logon success page, I had a nice url that just said: http://localhost/MyAppName/LogonSubmit.do But now that I am redirecting (instead of forwarding - to break the back-button stomping issue) it shows a much icky-er http://localhost:/MyAppName/MasterLayout.jsp?tilePage=/TileWelcome.jsp I can live with it the way it is, but I want to be sure I'm exploiting all the power there is to be had from the templates and tiles system, the action forwarding syntax and all of that stuff.

No taglib itself, but nested tags will allow the recursion to happen and thus make the tree. Try this... http://keyboardmonkey.com/pilotlight ...the JSP Recursion Trees! part. It should do the trick.

RE: include struts pages within a struts page?
Hello everybody, Is it possible to include struts pages within a struts page? Example: /showPage.do?pageId=1 shows a navigation. The user of the webpage never looks at this page directly but he could. /showPage.do?pageId=10 shows the home page. Instead of including something like /navigation.jsp within page 10, /showPage.do?pageId=1 is included. The advantage is, that page 10 doesn't have to know which database requests have to be done to display page 1. Page 10 simple has to know the url of page 1. The pages could be splitted into standalone components. If you simply include /navigation.jsp, all database work must have been done already. But this means, that the ActionServlet may be called more than once for one request. Did anybody do this already? Could it cause problems if the controller is passed multiple times per request?

Matt Raible seemed to be on the same route (note that his emails to the list

he's going to write his own custom javascripts to handle this.
My question is, does the validator handle indexed properties as of

Re: [Q] struts-template - I centralized the layout file, but am Imissing something?
Hi Jeff, I generally use Tiles to handle these kinds of things. In your struts-config.xml install the Tiles plugin: plug-in className=org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin set-property property=definitions-config value=/WEB-INF/tiles-definitions.xml/ set-property property=definitions-parser-validate value=true / set-property property=moduleAware value=true / /plug-in In your tiles-definitions.xml define your layout and other tiles: tiles-definitions definition name=layout path=/WEB-INF/jsp/layout.jsp put name=title value=Portfolio Analytics / put name=header value=/WEB-INF/jsp/header.jsp / put name=footer value=/WEB-INF/jsp/footer.jsp/ put name=bodyvalue=/WEB-INF/jsp/blank.jsp / put name=menuvalue=/WEB-INF/jsp/menus/menuAll.jsp / /definition definition name=welcome extends=layout !-- replace the value of body in layout with something different -- put name=body value=/WEB-INF/jsp/welcome.jsp/ /definition /tiles-definitions Back in struts-config your actions forward to tiles instead of jsps: action-mappings action path=/index type=some.object.Name forward name=success path=welcome/ /action /action-mappings Finally, your layout.jsp %@ taglib uri=/WEB-INF/tiles.tld prefix=tiles % html body tiles:insert attribute=header/ tiles:insert attribute=menu/ tiles:insert attribute=body/ tiles:insert attribute=footer/ /body /html Hope that helps a bit, J Jeff Smith wrote: I have 3 different pages in my test app: Greet Unauthenticated User, Login and Greet Authenticated User There is a PageUnauthGreet.jsp, PageAuthGreet.jsp and PageLoginUser.jsp.

max selected options
Is there already a validation in place the checks that only a limited amount of indexed property items are selected? Consider either a multi-select box or an indexed set of input fields. I want to prevent the user (via manipulation of the form or just regular use) from being able to populate with more than X number of items.

Re: BeanUtils.copyProperties between from and DAO issues
Right, but I was hoping that perhaps it should do this conversion
itself. Here's why. It doesn't make sense for my DAO to be talking
about ids in string format, for that would be out of character,
catering to the view. There isn't a way (that I know of) to get the
form to populate itself with an array of primitive or lang integers.
So therefore, I am asking, do I have to make my DAO bend over
backwards to fix this hole in the view? And why can't
copyProperties handle this conversion? Seems simple to me.

Re: BeanUtils.copyProperties between from and DAO issues
The FormBean can easily be populated by an array.
casting is easy, and done once in a util function.
beanUtils is usefull, but ... maybe not in this case.
Maybe, I am just not getting you question, so someone else jump in.

Let me clarify. My business object has a signature
public void setIndustryIds(int[] industryIds) {}
my form has a field
field name=industryIds type=java.lang.String[]/
the BeanUtils.copyProperties doesn't see that these two properties
should be linked, it simply doesn't call the setIndustryIds()
method. Can I do something like
field name=industryIds type=int[]/

concept: optional fields - NULL
Assume a form has a field like so Age: [ ] The user decided he/she is too bashful (or maybe just too old) to fill in the form and bypasses it, which we allow because people are wierd like that (by the way I am 25 and proud to be whatever age I am, but I am broke as a bank that just got robbed) moving on...now all fields are deemed to be type java.lang.String so the form posts this as (the empty string object). Now, assume my database has a field type int(3) NULL Naturally, I would want to enter NULL for this user since no one browsing the web can be of age 0. How could I get the form-bean to treat an optional field as NULL if it is empty so that the database gets the correct value? Or, do I just have to do this manually? Dan p.s.

Testing your Struts Application
Can anybody point out some good automated testing strategies for Struts-based applications? Ideally, I'd like to run automated tests that simulate an end user: 1) filling out a form and testing for success and expected failure 2) clicking on a url that brings up a result set I know I could unit test some of my business and data layers, but that leaves out potential run-time errors that may exist in the JSP pages (like a typo for an html:text property=naame / tag).

Re: module name problem?
Have you tried it? It should work fine, AFAIK. I patched things some time ago now to properly process which module is being requested. The change was such that it would allow module names along the lines of what you're asking about. If in doubt; try it. If it doesn't work (and I really think it should) post again and ask for help. ... and remember: If you experience problems with the tag libraries (or some other part of Struts) not knowing which module you're in MAKE SURE YOU ARE CALLING YOUR PAGES WITH AN ACTION. This is a very, very common problem for most folks. When working with modules, it is imperative that you involve the controller in the request (since it puts the configuration data for the requested module in the request) -- failure to do so will make you feel like you are stuck in the default module.

[Q] Accessing struts-tiles attribute in a bean?
James and Dan turned me on to tiles. I love them - as I love any tool that simplifies what I was already doing via brute force. :-) I feel I'm on the verge of a new level of understanding, but sadly, haven't quite crossed over. In my tiles structure, I want to have my pages get their titles from the application resource. So I dutifully created a titleKey attribute in my tile-description.xml, like so: definition name=StandardLayout path=/Jsps/Templates/TemplateMain.jsp put name=titleKey value=some.resource.key/ put name=header value=/Jsps/Tiles/TileHeader.jsp/ put name=content value=/Jsps/Tiles/TileWelcome.jsp/ put name=menu value=/Jsps/Tiles/TileMenu.jsp/ /definition In my TemplateMain.jsp, I want to take that titleKey and look up the proper title string from my application resource file. But I can't figure out how to access the value of the titleKey attribute into the key field of the bean:message tag. Is this possible? One day a light will go on in my head, and I won't feel so confused by all this. :-) Jefficus - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Collection-backed form properties solution
After spending quite sometime on the collection-backed
form properties solution, I figured its worth
mentioning the solution I dug out. I have to say that
the documentation on this one is pretty sparse. Ok
here we go...
I have a jsp that needs to accept an order for items.
This jsp has single-occurence fields like customer
name and address and multi-occurence fields like item
id, item name and item price. The later is the focus
of this message. I have created a plain java bean for
the multi-occurence fileds called ItemBean.
public class ItemBean {
public ItemBean() {
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public int getId() {
return this.itemId;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getName() {
return this.name;
}
public void setPrice(double price) {
this.price = price;
}
public double getPrice() {
return this.price;
}
}
I have created a DynaActionForm bean as follows:
form-bean name=orderForm dynamic=true
type=org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm
form-property name=name type=java.lang.String/
form-property name=address
type=java.lang.String/
form-property name=itemBeans
type=java.util.ArrayList/
form-property name=event
type=java.lang.String/
/form-bean
And I have a jsp like shown below:
html:form action=view2Submit.do
Name: html:text property=name/nbsp;
Address: html:text property=address/
table
tr
tdId:/td
tdName:/td
tdPrice:/td
/tr
logic:iterate id=itemBeans indexId=idx
name=orderForm property=itemBeans
type=com.xyz.ItemBean
tr
tdhtml:text name=itemBeans property=id
indexed=true//td
tdhtml:text name=itemBeans property=name
size=50 indexed=true//td
tdhtml:text name=itemBeans property=price
indexed=true//td
/tr
/logic:iterate
tr
tdhtml:submit value=Save
onclick=setSubmitEvent('saveActivity');/
/td
tdhtml:submit value=Add
onclick=setSubmitEvent('addActivityProperty');/
/td
/tr
/table
html:hidden property=event/
/html:form
Notice that the values of id and property
attributes of the logic:iterate tag are the same.
This is what makes the name of the html text fields to
evaluate to the right format, which is:
itemBeans[n].id for the id field. This itemBeans is
the name of the indexed-property in the form bean. The
event field is used by DispatchAction.
Hope this was helpful to atleast someone.

Re: nl2br taglib
Attached is a hacked version of WriteTag.java from the struts library to include a nl2br attribute which will convert \n to br / in the output. It was a pretty simple hack and you can just update your .tld file to include the java class net.creativerge.struts.taglib.bean.WriteTag and change your .tld definition to include the nl2br attribute (just like the filter attribute) and you will be there. Someone can feel free to add this to bugzilla, but I have way too much on my plate right now to put up a fight.

Re: nl2br taglib
Dan,
I think that you may have better luck in a tag that doesn't actually extend or
particularly work around the write tag, but simply filters the results of body
content. That way your not just restricted to filering the content of a bean
property. Markup would be like...
mylib:nl2br whatever nested:write property=something //mylib:nl2br
...And in this would could get the advantages of nested tags or whatever form
you wanted. It also means you don't have to worry about blocking/supporting
the logic of any underlying tag.
The tag class itself would look like...
// import whatever
public class NL2BR extends BodyTagSupport {
public int doAfterBody() throws JspException {
if (bodyContent != null) {
String filteredContent = bodyContent.getString();
// filter here...
ResponseUtils.writePrevious(pageContext, filteredContent);
bodyContent.clearBody();
}
}
}
...this should, in theory, do the trick. No properties or anything, simply
filter whatever comes through in the body content.
Arron.
PS: get my mail the other day?...
email client plays funny buggers at times,
so I don't know what's sent and what's not.

possible bug in html-el
I swear I am going to lose my mind over this one. Same exact code
on two different pages one using html and one using html-el taglib.
logic:messagesPresent
html:messages id=error
licore:out value=${error}//li
/html:messages
/logic:messagesPresent
If I use html-el, I get a jsp error that something is null in the
page and I trace it back to the fact that it is looking running
findAttribute() to find the ActionMessages (in this case errors)
object and does not find it and throws a jsp exception.
If I manually type in the name like so
logic:messagesPresent
html:messages id=error name=org.apache.struts.ERROR
licore:out value=${error}//li
/html:messages
/logic:messagesPresent
Then I get no null and it works. Somehow, when the tag is
processed, the name is getting set to empty string when it is
excluded, which I just cannot understand. It is clearly only not
working in html-el
