Re: Nesting tile definitions
I don't think I explained it very well. As I understand it I would do the following using the method you mentioned below: This allows me to change the values of left and right at the highest/page level. In my application the value of right and left is usually a certain value and in a few cases they are overriden. That is why I was wondering if there is anyway I could have this work: In the above, I only specify the right and left in the page definitions where it differs from the usual values which are defined in .standardPage.header. Is it possible to do this? I had no luck messing around with the tiles:put tags and the logic tags. I thought I could conditionally do the tiles:put using the logic:present tag to see if right and left were set. This is what I tried but it didn't work: I tried various settings and changing the scope on the logic:present but I could not figure out how to detect if the tile definition included the attribute right or left.

RE: Nesting tile definitions
Kevin, I'm pretty sure that once you have the attribute inheritance set up, it won't be possible to override the attribute at a lower level. However, if I get you right, you could simply define a child definition for page2 which extends .standardPage. In short, it shouldn't matter at what level you override an attribute. Tai -Original Message- From: Kevin Cramer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2003 9:48 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Nesting tile definitions Thank you. I have this working. The side effect is that it would require me to define all the attributes at the highest level. What if I would like to define the attributes at a lower level and then override it when it changes for a certain page? In my example I would like to define "right" at the .standardPage.header or .standardPage.header.bar level and override it for page2. I tried using tags around the tiles:put you specified below but that didn't help. It seems that when you use the tiles:put it overrides that attribute in the subtiles.

RE: [OT] struts/hibernate in Oracle mag
When it comes to OR mapping JDO is definitely the best midlle ground available for Java IMO. OJB supports both JDO and ODMG specs although a fully JDO compliant version is on its way.

The article covers how JDBC is "hard-coded" SQL and Entity EJB are heavy and very much abstracted from the data. Then, it presents a middle ground which the article refers to as "Java Objects" or persistent objects.

Re: Populating form fields (more)
Hi, thanks for the reply, but I'm looking for something a little different
(Bfrom this...
(B
(BI'm not sure if I am missing some fundamental concept of struts, but it
(Bappears to be missing the ability to have the action class provide a form
(Bbean for presentation that is different from the form bean passed in for the
(Bbusiness logic to act upon.
(B
(BBasically I wanted to have the following use case:
(B
(B- User is on page tuna in their browser.
(B- User fills out the form and hits submit.
(B- Struts gets the request and fills out a TunaForm object, and then passes it
(Bto TunaAction.
(B- TunaAction acts upon the request, and then prepares SwordfishForm.
(B- Struts then gets swordfish.jsp and fills out some default values from the
(BSwordFishForm that TunaAction made and filled out.
(B- Struts sends the resulting HTML back, and it reaches the user's browser.
(B- User makes some modifications and/or additions and hits submit.
(B- Struts gets the request and fills out a SwordfishForm object, and then
(Bpasses it to SwordfishAction.
(B- SwordfishAction acts upon the request and does whatever.
(B
(BAs far as I can tell, inside TunaAction I need to make a SwordfishForm and
(Bthen save it on the request:
(B
(Bpublic ActionForward perform(
(B ActionMapping mapping,
(B ActionForm form,
(B HttpServletRequest request,
(B HttpServletResponse response) {
(B
(BTunaForm workForm = (TunaForm)form;
(B// ... do something with workForm
(B
(B// Now we've done our business logic so make the form for our next view
(BSwordfishForm outForm = new SwordfishForm();
(B// ... fill out data pieces here
(B// Now set into the request
(Brequest.setAttribute("swordfishForm", outForm);
(B
(B// All done
(Breturn (mapping.findForward("success"));
(B}
(B
(B
(BI thought at this point I could just let Struts fill out swordfish.jsp
(Bautomatically from SwordfishForm like this:
(B
(B
(B
(B
(B
(BName
(B
(B
(B
(B
(B
(BColor
(B
(B
(B
(B
(B
(B
(B
(B
(B
(B
(B
(BBut if I do this, the data doesn't get filled out (the form I put into the
(Brequest is different from the one associated in the struts config file I
(Bguess?)
(B
(BIf I do this:
(B
(B
(B
(B
(B
(BName
(B
(B
(B
(B
(B
(BColor
(B
(B
(B
(B
(B
(B
(B
(B
(B
(B
(BIt will fill out name and color, but the hidden property causes it to throw an
(Bexception.
(B

(BCannot resolve symbol
(BSymbol : Method setValue (int)
(BLocation : Class org.apache.struts.taglib.html.HiddenTag
(B _jspx_th_html_hidden_0.setValue(swordfishForm.getId());
(B
(BThis is also kind of ugly because now I have to mix java code and html,
(Bsomething I'd rather avoid if possible.
(B
(BThat's where I'd gotten the idea to do this:

RE: case study with security
It is not necessary to create a specialty tag. If you are using container managed security and your users are set in specific roles you can use the logic:present tag with the role attribute. I do think the right way to do this is have the view conditional based on roles. Mike --- Marco Tedone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I hope to give my 2 cents here.

RE: case study with security
I hope to give my 2 cents here. What I'm going to do (therefore what I would suggest you to do) is to create a custom tag like which I'll use in my JSP to present the user some contents instead of some others. The background is that I had to create an application specific User authentication service, based on XML configuration file and commons-digester parsing to validate user's login information with the information contained in the XML configuration file. The process looks like the following: 1) XML user's configuration file: -> XML file, containing user's login info, like username, password and role 2) User Service -> A Business Service which, given the user's login credentials, returns true if those match the XML configuration file info, otherwise returns false; Login Action -> Uses the User Service and if user has the right credentials, CREATE a session attribute with the user details stating that user has the right credentials; Tag library -> Retrieves session attribute for user(not the container one, but the application one, from the Form declared in session scope!); if it doesn't exists(meaning that user hasn't logged in succesfully) returns something like SKIP_BODY or EVAL_BODY. I had the need for that because I didn't want to bind, let's say, a Tomcat user with my application user. Now, thinking to put this custom tag at the beginning and at the end of what is crucial to your application it could work fine, in your case: Or something similar...I haven't implemented the model yet, so these are only ideas.

binding data to the JSP
At some point the action class has to pass data onto the JSP for displaying, such as a list of items. This data can either be placed in the session or the request, depending on how long it needs to persist. So in essence, the JSP has to work with what I view as "magical" data, since the JSP just assumes that data will be there when it needs it (checking for empty naturally to handle cases where it is not). I was wondering if there are any best practices for dealing with the names of these variables and how to communicate which ones will exist to the JSP developer. For instance, one a page that displays the member profile, I pass the data to the request in an attribute called "profile" which I make a public constant in my action class called PROFILE_KEY. Does anyone do anything special for documentation to communicate this data transfer (like what the variable name is and what it holds and maybe how to handle it?) It just seems like a lot of effort goes into abstracting the configuration only to leave this part very fuzzy.

I also like to keep the link between the logged in user and his/her account "automatic" (i.e., determined by the system and looked up as close as possible to the model updates) whenever possible. Your solution does both of these things. Note, btw, that I did not mean to recommend "desk phone" as a generic identifier. Obviously, a) the "lookup" key best for your admins to use depends on your application and b) whatever you use, it has to be unique. The app that I took the example from enforces this.

[OT] struts/hibernate in Oracle mag
This mail is really like a [FRIDAY] coming on Sunday. I just couldn't wait until next Friday to talk about it. I recommend all business conscious or just curious struts developers/users to check out the Jan/Feb 2003 edition of Oracle magazine for a horde of articles on Struts. Sure, most of them just skim the surface with HelloWorld type examples and boasting how Oracle supports it (I personally use Eclipse as my IDE). Anyway, it is neat to see all the support for Struts. My question comes regarding an article entitled "Advances in Java's Relationship to Data". The article covers how JDBC is "hard-coded" SQL and Entity EJB are heavy and very much abstracted from the data. Then, it presents a middle ground which the article refers to as "Java Objects" or persistent objects. From what I read about Hibernate compared to the discussion in this article, it seems that this is what Hibernate is all about. Am I right? The equivalent Oracle product is called TopLink. If Hibernate is indeed what they are talking about, I am going with it. Right now I use Torque, which I definitely like, but Hibernate has more activity and examples and seems to be a little bit more well thought out. But that isn't to say Torque isn't good at all. Anyway, getting off topic. Now for my honoring of the guard. Thank you Struts developers/users and congratulations. Everyone here deserves it! Check it out.

Re: case study with security
Dan Allen wrote:
There have been several discussions on this list about how security
should be loosely coupled with the ActionServlet itself (a filter on
top of the application), but I am curious to know the best
practicing for handling the following type of case.
Assume I have an action with a path of /EditAccount. Naturally if a
user is not logged in, this path should be protected via filtering.
However, /EditAccount has two purposes, one for the regular user to
edit his/her own account, but also for the administrator to edit any
user account via the query string ?user=username. In this case, I
have to check in the action class if the user is allowed to take on
the role of another user in which case the form is populated with
that user's data or, if not, the form should populate with the
user's own data.
Is this something that is reasonable to do in the action, or should
I create another action path /EditUserAccount?user=username and
filter that to only admins and then forward to the /EditAccount once
the proper credientials have been established, hence relieving the
action behind /EditAccount from looking at any roles?
Assuming that you are using container-managed security and roles, you
can do it with one action by having the action ignore the user parameter
unless the user is an administrator. You can check if the user is an
administrator using
if (request.isUserInRole("whatever-you-named-the-admin-role")).
If the user is not an administrator, you can use request.getRemoteUser()
to get the user id and then populate the form based on the user's own
data. Here is a similar example:
if ((frm.getDeskPhone() != null) &&
(request.isUserInRole(Constants.ADMINISTRATOR))) {
rd.setDeskPhone(frm.getDeskPhone());
rd.retrieveByPhone();
} else {
rd.setUid(request.getRemoteUser());
rd.retrieveByUid();
}
...use rd to populate current profile data onto frm...
In this example, the "deskPhone" parameter is what the admin uses to
loookup a user. The rd object is an entity-like bean that represents a
user.
If you decide to use separate Actions for admins and users --
eliminating the need for the conditional logic above -- you should make
sure NOT to leave the user parameter in the queryString for the
non-administrators or to add a check in the non-admin action to make
sure that the user is editing his/her own profile. In this case, you
should also encapsulate the common elements that both "editAccount"
actions will share.
Which approach is best depends on the complexity of the application and
how you expect it to evolve over time. The second approach -- different
actions for admins -- is more flexible but a little more work to implement.

Re: case study with security
A good practice is to use decelrative Container Managed Security. This kind of implies you set it up in web.xml (via a /securePath/*) or via action mapping in struts config. (writing you own security is not a good parctice, IMO) hth, V (do not cofuse that with the non container based filter implementation of above available from sf.net) Dan Allen wrote: There have been several discussions on this list about how security should be loosely coupled with the ActionServlet itself (a filter on top of the application), but I am curious to know the best practicing for handling the following type of case. Assume I have an action with a path of /EditAccount. Naturally if a user is not logged in, this path should be protected via filtering.

Re: case study with security
In your case, you can make administrator is a 'user' itself so that /EditAccount.do works for both roles. However, I strongly suspect your action/view you have to do lots of if else block to determine what to do and what to display. Encapsulation is the key here, I would provide 2 separate actions, one for the normal current login user and one for administrator to edit any user account. -Dan - Original Message - From: "Dan Allen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts-User List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2003 11:03 AM Subject: case study with security > There have been several discussions on this list about how security > should be loosely coupled with the ActionServlet itself (a filter on > top of the application), but I am curious to know the best > practicing for handling the following type of case. > > Assume I have an action with a path of /EditAccount.

case study with security
There have been several discussions on this list about how security should be loosely coupled with the ActionServlet itself (a filter on top of the application), but I am curious to know the best practicing for handling the following type of case. Assume I have an action with a path of /EditAccount. Naturally if a user is not logged in, this path should be protected via filtering. However, /EditAccount has two purposes, one for the regular user to edit his/her own account, but also for the administrator to edit any user account via the query string ?user=username. In this case, I have to check in the action class if the user is allowed to take on the role of another user in which case the form is populated with that user's data or, if not, the form should populate with the user's own data.

Bookmarking the Login Page - Container Managed Security
Does anyone know of a Struts work around for the problem with Tomact in bookmarking the login page for container managed security? There was a brief thread on this issue about a month ago [http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg59734.html] There is a SourceForge project called SecurityFilter that can be used to replace Tomcat's container managed security, but it would be nice to be able to work with Tomcat. Has anyone tried to call "j_security_check" directly from an Action class? Once you can authenticate a user you would be able to get the roles for that user. Is there a way to set up a JDBC Realm purely in Struts? I did not see any information on this in a quick scan of the documentation. Hopefully, the good people working on Tomcat see this as a bug that needs to be fixed. Quote from a recent thread in the Tomcat news group: "I wish that there was a legitimate configuration change to enable you to bookmark a login.jsp page--such as a j_success_url parameter which instructs Tomcat where to send users if not doing an automated login process." Another user stated, "...I simply just can't believe that there are Tomcat instances out there in a live production environment with configured realms that suffer from this problem. Surely there must be something" http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg77974.html Thanks. Mike __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
