Re: possible bug in html-el
This was a bug in RC1. It's fixed in the nightly build. Turns out, amoungst other things, I was missing the error resource key member.email.missing vs member.errors.email.missing in my application.resources file. I really wish that missing keys would just skip over instead of killign the whole page (much harder to debug). I tried the null setting in web.xml but it didn't seem to change life.

Re: Opinions on Struts code generator - A zipped version
Hi James, I take a look to your paper and i found it very interesting. But I am wondering if every code generator are not taking the problem by a wrong way, because I saw some of them (your, one on Ted Husted's site, one made in my office, and few others which wasn't mature) and every code generator are html based. They parse the html pages and find the information needed, so they generate the action needed to populate theses data into jsp. But when you start an application you first think to business logic, so you know which information will be on the pages. So why not do generation of code (action, actionform, jsp and struts-config.xml) from business logic API and the navigation state diagram ? I like your paper because it introduced a state diagram, and i only ever saw it in our internal codegenerator. I am working on a struts application to dynamically build a web application. Presentation part should be logic less, so it logically could be automatically build. In an hour, the core application should be available and it should not required lot of tools : only a browser to connect to a developpement server. An Ant could be packaged into the codegenerator to deploy for testing into build process. Once the navigation is ok and it work as you like, you may download the sources and only at this point do the html presentation. This is more natural when you are working on a module for a big application. Here you can use tiles and all the productivity features proposed into struts. I am at your disposition if you want more information. ;) Regards, Emmanuel Feller Senior Developper Cap Gemini Ernst Young +33 2 51 17 35 00 phone 3716 +33 6 23 34 63 39 - Message d'origine - De : james logsdon [EMAIL PROTECTED] À : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Envoyé : mercredi 12 mars 2003 15:54 Objet : Re: Opinions on Struts code generator - A zipped version Hopefully this works... - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Opinions on Struts code generator - A zipped version
Most applications are based on requirements, and easy to define those as HTML. To go backwards from here is what we have see if anyone want's it is not as good aproach. I understand your point of view. We started to make requirements in html form, but our customers didn't take care of the real informations in the screen, and they looked to the colors or the place of field. So the process of requirements expression wasn't stable until lots of iteration. We use powerpoint to do the requirements now. The colors and design and the last things we are taking care about. Since i only work on big projects (more than 10k human days), we save lots of time when we stop using html prototype. I though we are not the only ones to do the same, that's why i am wondering for code generator from business logic.

RE: Opinions on Struts code generator - A zipped version
Interesting.. How about taking this to the next level, which all struts generators have failed to do (except a BEA tool that requires you to buy into them): 1) Offer the ability to define the concept of a page, which has associated to it the action and an JSP page 2) Define the fields that will be managed within the JSP page, including the types of fields (text, textarea, drop down), datasources for drop downs, and validation rules 3) Allow the user to define events that occur when the user submits the page. This would include things like Save, Update, Delete, Create, Cancel, Next, Previous, etc. 4) Allow the user to select a custom event handler or a default one such as Cancel, which would have a wizard to allow the user to select the page it flows to and do any logic like strip out session beans if the action's form is session scoped 5) Optionally, you could extend the concept of the fields to allow them to be mapped to datasources, by which I mean an EJB, JDBC Datasource, etc. So, your tools allows for the definition of dataobjects, pages, and fields that are all tied together using some configuration file and optionally generated source. Note that some of this could be done with a state diagramming tool within the app, and some of it would be more event driven. What I'm proposing is something that operates like VB or Visual Interdev, and allows either rapid prototyping, rapid web tier integration, and rapid business tier integration. Add in a little NetDynamics for spice, and you have a really interesting tool that is beyond just code generation. I've been wanting to do this for several years but I've had 0 time to put into it. I've been hoping that someone else catches the vision and can help me run with it, as I firmly believe this is what is missing from J2EE and has rarely been filled in by code generators. My guess is that Eclipse or some other IDE would allow for the GUI of this tool to be built and integrated quickly, benefiting from the IDE's class parsing rules, Add new source capabilities, and other Java semantics that tend to slow tools down when they reach this point.

Validator Localization
I'm trying to localize validations where I have some fields that only appear in certain locales, and therefore only need to be validated under those locales. In Struts in Action, Ted talks about adding attributes to the form tag. But it looks like under the newer Commons Validator, the localization happens at the formset tag. Given the following validation.xml (abbreviated a bit - it's actually a lot larger than this): form-validation formset form name=infoContactForm field property=contactFName depends=required arg0 key=formFieldLabel.contactFName / /field /form /formset formset language=en country=UK form name=infoMailingListForm field property=mailingListPostcode depends=required, mask arg0 key=formFieldLabel.mailingListPostcode/ /field /form /formset formset language=en country=US form name=infoMailingListForm field property=mailingListZip depends=required, mask arg0 key=formFieldLabel.mailingListZip/ /field /form /formset /form-validation When I set the locale to en_UK or en_US, the Postcode or Zip fields do not get validated. The FName field always gets validated under any locale. What do I need to do to set up for and trigger the locale-specific validation to happen?

Re: [NEWBIE]A very stupid question
If you are creating a forward in struts config files or actions, you should ignore the context name completely and write url as /myAction.do. Struts takes care of the context path itself. If you are creating links simply in HTML then do something like: request.getContextPath() + /myAction.do Look at the link Tags examples in the example apps that come with struts. HTH.

RE: [NEWBIE]A very stupid question
Marco, You should use the html:link tag. Use the page instead of href. Page will prepend the correct context path for you. Html:rewrite does this as well so you can use that for linking to images and what not. Here is an example: html:link page=/Login.doLogin/html:link So what Struts will actually output would be: a href=/xml-op/Login.doLogin/a Given that xml-op is your context.

Re: Validator Localization
In my original example, the form name should be the same in all the formsets. That was just a copy/paste error in the email, but thanks to the couple of folks that pointed that out to me by email. I still can't figure out how to get the validations for the locales to fire. I wrote: I'm trying to localize validations where I have some fields that only appear in certain locales, and therefore only need to be validated under those locales. In Struts in Action, Ted talks about adding attributes to the form tag. But it looks like under the newer Commons Validator, the localization happens at the formset tag. Given the following validation.xml (abbreviated a bit - it's actually a lot larger than this): form-validation formset form name=infoContactForm *** should be: infoMailingListForm *** field property=contactFName depends=required arg0 key=formFieldLabel.contactFName / /field /form /formset formset language=en country=UK form name=infoMailingListForm field property=mailingListPostcode depends=required, mask arg0 key=formFieldLabel.mailingListPostcode/ /field /form /formset formset language=en country=US form name=infoMailingListForm field property=mailingListZip depends=required, mask arg0 key=formFieldLabel.mailingListZip/ /field /form /formset /form-validation When I set the locale to en_UK or en_US, the Postcode or Zip fields do not get validated. The FName field always gets validated under any locale. What do I need to do to set up for and trigger the locale-specific validation to happen?

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.

[OT] suggestion for getting properties
I have a model class for my company which has numbers. I would like
to create a method like
getNumbers()
which returns all of the different phone numbers that are in the
database as a collection. However, when I get them, I need to know
which ones they are for display purposes (just a list of numbers
won't do much good or else you end up calling a fax machine). I
thought of using a HashMap like
HashMap numbers = new HashMap();
numbers.put(phone, getPhone());
numbers.put(fax, getPhone());
etc.
but then I realized that HashMaps screw up the order. I need to
keep the order that I place them in the Hash so I can do
c:forEach items=${company.numbers} var=number
bean:message key=${number.key}/: c:out value=${number.value}/
/c:forEach
I tried to implement a FifoMap but failed because I didn't know how
to subclass Map.Entry
POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
I guess the solution would be to create a Bean for a Phone Number
and then have getNumbers() return a Collection of phone number
beans. Is that the best way or is a map still possible?

Re: [Q] Accessing struts-tiles attribute in a bean?
Not sure of 'best' way to this but I think this may work:
tiles:useAttribute name=booboo classname=java.lang.String /
...
bean:message key=%=booboo% /
...or with bean-el you can do
bean:message key=${booboo}/
I do this as well as tiles does not support localization just yet.
However, it looks like it will be implemented in the future as there
are several bugzilla reports on it. Conception would of course be
to set key attribute in tiles.

Re: Loading complex forms with Struts.
Thanks for that Kevin. That's pretty much what I came up with as well. The only addition I am making is that, to make sure all of the additional selection information is grouped correctly, and to keep away from multiple forms is to use the x.y.z naming method to reference every thing, so: A subsystem check box will just have the name of the subsystem (They ar all unique), the timestamp selection for each subsytem will have the name subsytem.timestamp, and then the siganls will be subsystem.signalname, as all signal names within a sub system will be unique as well. With this aproach, I can have just one VO helper, and then this can load a selection of subsytem VOs prior to passing them deeper into the business logic or out to the view.

Simon, What I've done (and I haven't tested it yet since I'm still coding supporting stuff so I'm not sure if it works) is to have an array property within my form bean. This would hold the id's for the selected subsystem. Within your jsp page, make sure all the checkboxes have the same name, and it should populate that array with the same name as the checkboxes in your form bean. I'm hoping this works for me!

ServletException: Cannot find bean element in scope null
I'm getting an exception [ServletException: Cannot find bean element in scope

I've got the following code in my action class:
public final class ContractsSearchAction extends ContractBaseAction {
public ActionForward perform(

ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) {
ContractForm workForm = (ContractForm)form;
ContractsSearchCommand cmd = new ContractsSearchCommand();
// Would do some setting here for criteria from workForm
cmd.execute();
ContractListForm outForm = new ContractListForm();
outForm.setContracts(cmd.getContracts());
request.setAttribute(contractListForm, outForm);
return (mapping.findForward(results));
}
}
The JSP page it goes to has the following:
logic:iterate id=element name=contractListForm
property=contracts type=data.ContractBDO
tr
td
bean:write name=element property=fullName/
/td
td class=button
html:form action=contract_select.do
name=contractForm type=view.ContractForm
html:hidden name=element property=id/
html:submit value=Edit/
/html:form
/td
/tr
/logic:iterate
