RE: [OT] Web Services, what have I done?

[Ajay Patil]

Dear Greg,

As I understand, web services have similar goal as what you have done
i.e to allow remote systems to invoke an area of an app's functionality.

Your invocation.dtd and response.dtd seem similar to SOAP envelopes.

Consider a service to enter customer Orders at the url
http://www.xyz.com/OrderEntry

To invoke the above service, the client needs to know the method
names and the arguments that it takes.

The web service standard allows the client to query the server to
find the method names and arguments.

For example: http://www.xyz.com/OrderEntry?WSDL
This return an XML file that describes the methods and arguments.
It is in WSDL format (Web Services Description Language)

This means that to build a new client, you only need to know the URL
of web service. You can query and find the supported methods, arguments
and then build apps that invoke those methods. Otherwise, you need
some documentation of the server-side methods.

WSDL (the standard) allows objects, arrays, multi-dimensional arrays,
etc to be passed as arguments.

I hope this is useful to you. Perhaps, you have a better insight as
you have already implemented an RPC-protocol on your own.

Regards,
Ajay

Subject: [OT] Web Services, what have I done?


Hi All,

This post might seem odd but I am looking for some insight into a 
solution
that I have implemented. I am trying to get a better understanding of 
how my
implementation fits into the grand scheme of a Web Service and how I 
might
document this implementation. I have been reading about WSDL and about 
SOAP
and am still not sure what I have done J, and how my implementation is
compatible or not compatible with what the industry is calling a Web 
Service
mainly for documentation purposes even though I would love to build this
functionality based on industry standards.

I have built a web app using STRUTS of course that allows for external
remote systems to invoke RPC's (Remote Procedure Call) on an area of the
apps functionality. I allow remote systems to communicate using XML over
HTTP POST. Communication involves the invocation request and response. I
have created a invocation.dtd that defines the invocation data 
structure and
all the supported methods and arguments and the response.dtd that 
defines
the result data structure returned by any invocation.
As far as I can understand so far this is very similar to a SOAP 
envelope.

The client of this implementation builds the invocation XML data 
structure
as defined by invocation.dtd, opens a connection to defined URL and 
writes
the XML invocation directly to the connections OutputStream and reads 
the
XML response directly from the connections InputStream.

Having built this implementation and ducking the learning curve of Web
Services, SOAP implementation because I found it difficult to implement 
with
my shaky understanding of Web Services I am hoping that I might now be 
able
to get a better understanding of Web Services and how they relate to 
what I
have done in the hopes that I might get inline with the industry and 
write
great software and document what I have done J.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

How to set charset UTF-8

[Billy Ng]

Hi folks,

I added the following to test what encoding my Struts app is using

<%  
   response.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");
   System.out.println(response.getCharacterEncoding());
%>

But it still print out the "ISO-8859-1", why?  How can I set the contentType to 
"text/html; charset=UTF-8"

Thanks!

Re: setUserPrincipal or something like that if u have a selfregistrationbutton.

[Marius Oancea]

Hi,
   Should not be a big task to put the
SecurityRequestWrapper request on the request as a attribute into securityfilter code.

Max Cooper wrote:

Marius,

I know this is something that would be very useful to have, but I haven't
given it too much thought about how to implement it yet.
I do have a few tips:

1) Don't cast the current request to SecurityRequestWrapper.

// don't do this
SecurityRequestWrapper srw = (SecurityRequestWrapper) request;
This won't work if the app server decides to wrap the request (JRun does
this, and I assume other containers might do it, too). It will also break if
you add another filter to the system that wraps the request. Casting like
this is a bad idea, and it makes your code fragile.
However, it would be nice to offer the request processors (other filters,
servlets, etc.) access to an "extended" request API, that perhaps includes a
method to programmatically log the current user in. I have thought about
this a bit, and my current thinking is that a reference to the
SecurityRequestWrapper should be placed in the request scope so that any
code "down the pipeline" can access it, even if the request gets wrapped
again. Here's an example of how that might work:
// NOTE: This code will NOT work with the current release of SecurityFilter!
// It is intended only as an example of how it might work in the future.
// get a reference to the SecurityRequestWrapper
SecurityRequestWrapper srw = (SecurityRequestWrapper)
  request.getAttribute(SecurityRequestWrapper.REQUEST_KEY);
// log the current user in
srw.login("username", "password");
2) If you do decide to call setUserPrincipal() directly, you will want to
set the Principal by getting it from the current SecurityRealm, just like
SecurityFilter does.
I hope we have a solution for this problem in the future. I welcome your
feedback.

Hi,
I have a webapp made with struts and securityfilter using BasicAuth.
All worked like a charm but:
How can i log in (or authenticate) the user after createUser process
is complete?
In other words:
- I have a button (free registration). The user will enter his data
and after that I want to automatically login that user. Is that
possible? I looked for a setUserPrincipal but i'm not able to access
that form an action.

Re: login request

Thank you ...

I would liked to have used a filter as this was my first idea, however my 
clients app must be deployed onto their raq550 server which supports only 
tomcat 3. I believe only tomcat 4 supports filters(or the servlet spec it 
uses)? I believe i will follow davids example and extend the base action 
class as this seems to be my only option. This dosnt seem as elegent as a 
filter but does seems to be the most elegent alternative thanks david : ), 
unless anyone else has any better ideas?

Re: Problem on displaying table keys, please help

[Mark Lowe]

Not sure about how you've named you methods for one..

for

getIndustryId()



This has always been the case with JSP tags even if you use



if you dislike the lowercaseization(such a credit to the english 
language :o) ) of the first letter you could revert to

<%= Detail.getIndustryId() %>

or something like this in jstl (not sure how the casing works).



I'm not sure whether there's a standard for naming the objects you 
scope. But as I don't know I wont say. In terms of conventions "Detail" 
would be "detail" but I dont know if this is merely style rather than 
standard.

Cheers Mark

Re: login request + ActionServlet RequestProcessor Action

[Andy Richards]

Hi

After deciding which approach to take and reading a few of my struts books 
about the controller object ; ) I am now confused as which is the most 
appropriate class to extend to perform my login functionality. David suggests 
extending the base action class, however i have read that the 
RequestProcessor class was added to struts1.1 to extend the ActionServlet. 
From what i can see this class handles all requests and one of its methods 
calls the appropriate action. Therefore which would be the better class to 
extend  ActionServlet, RequestProcessor or Action. Any ideas.?

RE: RE : Remote and local EJB

If we know that EJBs and struts classes will reside in same JVM then why we should

Although I agree that in furure, we may deploy web and app classes on different

both local and remote interface of EJB.

I would say we should prefer the local EJB call instead of remote EJB call as far as

Hi Viral

Ideally there should be one stateless session bean within action class and
business component EJBs so that you have only one remote call and all other
EJB calls are local. You should always program considering different tiers
on different machines, although you are using the web and app tier on same
machine now. Let me know what do you think on this.

Thanks Jim.

I am using the oracle 9iAS. I also developed the EJB which supports both
remote and local access. I am also able to invoke this EJB from my action
class. I accessed this EJB using the remote and also using local interface
separately.

The reason why I want this EJB to be deployed both as local and remote is
that at present EJB will be accessed by the struts action class, both are in
same JVM so I can access the EJB using the local interface.

In future when we do clustering then at that time, EJB bean may be at
different server, in different JVM, at that time struts action class should
dynamically find the remote EJB.

One way I think, we can handle such situation in the catch block of the
NamingException() while accessing the local bean, we need to lookup the
remote EJB. But it seems that this is not the good programming practice.

So I am looking for some design pattern or framework, which supports the
solution to this problem.

Subject: RE: RE : Remote and local EJB

So let me see if I understand what it is you are wanting to accomplish.  It
sounds like you have a bunch of EJBs, a Struts application and several
servers.  You would like http requests coming in to be 'evaluated' by your
application and then based on some information within that request (i.e.
users name, users ip address, users browsers type, users preference
selection, or possibly even the current servers load) invoke either a local
or a remote EJB.  For example maybe you have an EJB that does some realy
heavy calculatations like a ray-tracer and for some important users you want
the results to come back faster than for other less important users.  So you
make your ray tracing EJB and deploy it on both the local server (i.e. the
same one running your Struts app) and on some other EJB server far far away.
Then register them both in your ejb-jar.xml with different names ie.
RayTraceLocal and RayTraceRemote.  So now to access either the remote or the
local EJB depending on the request you write your Struts action class to
first evaluate the HTTP request to figure out if this request is coming from
the important user or not and then as appropriate either do your jndi lookup
for the RayTraceLocal or the RayTraceRemote.

As far as I know there is not any built in mechanics within Struts for doing
this kind of thing, its up to you to write an Action class that invokes the
backend EJB you want.  I think some EJB servers give you some flexability
and increase performance when using EJBs that are within the same container
- WebLogic I know lets you specify both a remote and a local name for each
EJB then provides better performance when using the local one - Possible
even the high end WebLogic stuff will do automatic load balancing between
EJB server so that your calls to jndi lookup return references to EJBs on
whatever server is being currently used less.  But these kind of load
balancing issues you would need to talk with your EJB server provider and
then build your Struts actions to invkoke those EJBs in the way the EJB
server provider specified to get the benefits of load balancing.

Good Luck,
Jim Piper

Re: login request + ActionServlet RequestProcessor Action

[Kok Wei, Koh]

Hi Andy,

I guess the decision boils down to how your application is going to be 
written. For a project I worked on couple of weeks back, I ran into a 
problem where one of my Actions needs to extend a class to inherit some 
functionality, but I was stucked because I need to extend my 
"AuthenticationAction" which handles all my user login stuff.

I can't extend from 2 classes, right? I then went on to research the 
RequestProcessor. I used tiles of Struts 1.1 in my project so what I did 
was I ported the "AuthenticationAction" code to say 
"AuthenticationRequestProcessor" and it extends "TilesRequestProcessor" 
which extends the Struts "RequestProcessor".

So it all depends on if you're gonna run into problems like this?

My 2 cents. Hope this helps.

If we know that EJBs and struts classes will reside in same JVM then why we
should also invoke the stateless session bean remotely? We can invoke that
session bean using the local interface... rite .?

Although I agree that in furure, we may deploy web and app classes on
different machines, so that's why I am looking for a solution where we can
take advantage of both local and remote interface of EJB.

I would say we should prefer the local EJB call instead of remote EJB call
as far as possible.

Hi Viral

Ideally there should be one stateless session bean within action class and
business component EJBs so that you have only one remote call and all other
EJB calls are local. You should always program considering different tiers
on different machines, although you are using the web and app tier on same
machine now. Let me know what do you think on this.

Subject: RE : Remote and local EJB


Thanks Jim.

I am using the oracle 9iAS. I also developed the EJB which supports both
remote and local access. I am also able to invoke this EJB from my action
class. I accessed this EJB using the remote and also using local interface
separately.

The reason why I want this EJB to be deployed both as local and remote is
that at present EJB will be accessed by the struts action class, both are in
same JVM so I can access the EJB using the local interface.

In future when we do clustering then at that time, EJB bean may be at
different server, in different JVM, at that time struts action class should
dynamically find the remote EJB.

One way I think, we can handle such situation in the catch block of the
NamingException() while accessing the local bean, we need to lookup the
remote EJB. But it seems that this is not the good programming practice.

So I am looking for some design pattern or framework, which supports the
solution to this problem.

Thanks,
Viral

Subject: RE: RE : Remote and local EJB

So let me see if I understand what it is you are wanting to accomplish.  It
sounds like you have a bunch of EJBs, a Struts application and several
servers.  You would like http requests coming in to be 'evaluated' by your
application and then based on some information within that request (i.e.
users name, users ip address, users browsers type, users preference
selection, or possibly even the current servers load) invoke either a local
or a remote EJB.  For example maybe you have an EJB that does some realy
heavy calculatations like a ray-tracer and for some important users you want
the results to come back faster than for other less important users.  So you
make your ray tracing EJB and deploy it on both the local server (i.e. the
same one running your Struts app) and on some other EJB server far far away.
Then register them both in your ejb-jar.xml with different names ie.
RayTraceLocal and RayTraceRemote.  So now to access either the remote or the
local EJB depending on the request you write your Struts action class to
first evaluate the HTTP request to figure out if this request is coming from
the important user or not and then as appropriate either do your jndi lookup
for the RayTraceLocal or the RayTraceRemote.

As far as I know there is not any built in mechanics within Struts for doing
this kind of thing, its up to you to write an Action class that invokes the
backend EJB you want.  I think some EJB servers give you some flexability
and increase performance when using EJBs that are within the same container

Re: login request + ActionServlet RequestProcessor Action

Good point, never thought about that! One point towards extending the

RE: login request + ActionServlet RequestProcessor Action

[Navjot Singh]

Although I am extending Action class as of now but
extending Requestprocessor should be a better choice. After all
ActionServlet, after all the initializations, delegates control to
RequestProcessor.

Let's keep ActionServlet only for one time inits.

Re: login request + ActionServlet RequestProcessor Action

Yeah you should only need to define your custom 
AuthenticationRequestProcessor class which extends RequestProcessor in 
controller element of your struts-config.xml.

Hi Andy,

I guess the decision boils down to how your application is going to be
written. For a project I worked on couple of weeks back, I ran into a
problem where one of my Actions needs to extend a class to inherit some
functionality, but I was stucked because I need to extend my
"AuthenticationAction" which handles all my user login stuff.
I can't extend from 2 classes, right? I then went on to research the
RequestProcessor. I used tiles of Struts 1.1 in my project so what I did
was I ported the "AuthenticationAction" code to say
"AuthenticationRequestProcessor" and it extends "TilesRequestProcessor"
which extends the Struts "RequestProcessor".
So it all depends on if you're gonna run into problems like this?

My 2 cents. Hope this helps.

Dear Andy,

I'm doing the same thing you suggest.  My approach is
to extend the base Action (or any type of Action) class
by adding a functon 'checkLogin'.  It takes the 'request'

throws an exception if the bean is missing or if the ID

If you try this approach, keep in mind I'm using Struts

Tonight I'm going to try switching it to an interface so
I can use it to extend any action type by using 3 lines

to a html file and then onLoad i could redirect to my logon action url... to 
do this i'd have to hard code the ipaddress and port number into my url so i 
don't really want to do that. Any ideas how i might do this?

struts with SSLExt behind proxy

[s m]

Hello,

We are using apache as a proxy server in front of weblogic. Struts 
is used in the application with SSLExt. When request is forwarded 
within the application, control directly goes to weblogic skipping 
the proxy server.
i.e.
1) url: https://AppacheProxyServer/myapp/first.jsp
2) When any link or button clicked which involves struts, control 
goes to http://myWeblogicServer/myapp/second.jsp

I think it happens because struts does url rewriting while 
mapping. There may be other reason. How it can be managed to keep 
traffic through proxy server?

Please help.

Thank you.

RE: Whats the security trick for not permiting the browser back button on SignOut?

[Cezar Nasui]

Hi Henry,

The problem I noticed is if you go Back to the first page after login and
make a refresh on that page  you will be able to navigate again in your app
as a  new session is created 'cause refresh re-post the login data.
Your app does that? Do you know any solution for this one?
I think with some JavaScript you can erase the history of the Back button. I
don;t recall exaclty the code but I'll look for it. What I want to know is
if it's a good method as we know we shouldn't rely on user's settings (ex.

Or, alternatively if you want to use window.onLoad - checkout the source on

This show magically the correct values on screen but as this in HTML code :







So when i submit this form
The usersForm can't retrieve new values because of the bad name of property
(surname[0], name[0], surname[1], name[1],...)

I think it must exist a simpliest solution using "indexed" attribute or
others but i don't know what.
And the documentations on struts are so poor for this kind of problem.

HttpServletResponse in ActionForm.reset()

[Jung, Eric (Contractor)]

Hi everyone,
I posted this question a couple days ago, but no one took a bite. Any suggestions?
I'm trying to get the HttpServletResponse from within the ActionForm.reset() method. 
Any ideas?

Thank you in advance for any help...

Re: Setting a Welcome File + Tiles + PreCompiled JSP's

[Jason Lea]

I use a filter to catch requests that map to "/" and request my 
Homepage.do action instead.  So I don't have any index.html or index.jsp 
page at all.

I think the 2.3 spec wants some sort of file to map to.

I did hear of one person who set the  to 'index.do' and 
put a dummy index.do file in there (with a note that it was a dummy and 
not to delete).  The web container was happy because there was a file 
there called 'index.do'.

Since Struts is mapped to process *.do, the person defined an action 
called 'index'  and struts could do its normal processing, forwarding 
off to the .jsp in /WEB-INF/.

I don't know if that is portable amongst containers though.

If we know that EJBs and struts classes will reside in same JVM then why we
should also invoke the stateless session bean remotely? We can invoke that
session bean using the local interface... rite .?

Although I agree that in furure, we may deploy web and app classes on
different machines, so that's why I am looking for a solution where we can
take advantage of both local and remote interface of EJB.

I would say we should prefer the local EJB call instead of remote EJB call
as far as possible.

Hi Viral

Ideally there should be one stateless session bean within action class and
business component EJBs so that you have only one remote call and all other
EJB calls are local. You should always program considering different tiers
on different machines, although you are using the web and app tier on same
machine now. Let me know what do you think on this.

Subject: RE : Remote and local EJB


Thanks Jim.

I am using the oracle 9iAS. I also developed the EJB which supports both
remote and local access. I am also able to invoke this EJB from my action
class. I accessed this EJB using the remote and also using local interface
separately.

The reason why I want this EJB to be deployed both as local and remote is
that at present EJB will be accessed by the struts action class, both are in
same JVM so I can access the EJB using the local interface.

In future when we do clustering then at that time, EJB bean may be at
different server, in different JVM, at that time struts action class should
dynamically find the remote EJB.

One way I think, we can handle such situation in the catch block of the
NamingException() while accessing the local bean, we need to lookup the
remote EJB. But it seems that this is not the good programming practice.

So I am looking for some design pattern or framework, which supports the
solution to this problem.

Thanks,

So let me see if I understand what it is you are wanting to accomplish.  It
sounds like you have a bunch of EJBs, a Struts application and several
servers.  You would like http requests coming in to be 'evaluated' by your
application and then based on some information within that request (i.e.
users name, users ip address, users browsers type, users preference
selection, or possibly even the current servers load) invoke either a local
or a remote EJB.  For example maybe you have an EJB that does some realy
heavy calculatations like a ray-tracer and for some important users you want
the results to come back faster than for other less important users.  So you
make your ray tracing EJB and deploy it on both the local server (i.e. the
same one running your Struts app) and on some other EJB server far far away.
Then register them both in your ejb-jar.xml with different names ie.
RayTraceLocal and RayTraceRemote.  So now to access either the remote or the
local EJB depending on the request you write your Struts action class to
first evaluate the HTTP request to figure out if this request is coming from
the important user or not and the

Use a combination of a), b) and c) :)

Store an identifier to the shopping cart in session
(security implications here...make sure you don't
code an unsecure app), store the shopping cart itself in
db, use session cookies (or URL rewriting) to identify,
which session the user requests are associated to
(this is done automatically by your servlet container).

I'm sure you can do this in multiple ways, but that's
how I would do it.

One thing you can do to increase performance is use JSTL tags instead of
Struts tags wherever possible.  Servlet containers can optimize the
standard tags into java code instead of invoking them with the traditional
tag lifecycle.  Resin and Tomcat 5 currently perform this optimization on
at least a subset of the JSTL tags.

There is also an implicit non-goal that I should state explicitly -- I'm
totally uninterested in building in (to Struts) support for non-JSR 168
based portal servers -- be they open source ones like Jetspeed or
commercial ones (BEA, IBM, Oracle, Sun, whatever).  This is for the same
reason that I'm not interested in supporting any non-Servlet-API variant
on servlets -- that's not where the market is.  Providers of non-168
portal servers are welcome to provide their own adaptations of they want
to, and several of them already do.
Fortunately, all of the servers portal mentioned above (including
Jetspeed) are planning to provide JSR-168 compatible support, so
implementing 168 support into Struts is instantly useful on all of them.
That's the power of common standards.
 

I think after the release of JSR-168 Reference Inplementation,
   

which has been proposed to become an Apache project, by the way; see the
'jakarta-jetspeed-2' CVS repository ...
 

many
Struts developers  (i know at least a number of Portals based on
Struts-Tiles, all except basic portal, stating to support JSR-168)  (i
am one of them) will seriously put some time in this refactoring process.
   

Yep ... JSR-168 is going to be a very popular API, quite likely rivalling
servlet in the number of server choices people will have.  And supporting
it gracefully in Struts means you'll be able to deploy a Struts based app
using either servlet or portlet based servers, depending on your needs,
with minimal changes.
 

Thanks for this forcefull statement that indicates the right leadership. 
I totally agree with this. That is why i think Struts with the best 
design and least burden of past technologies is the best candidate to 
realize the importance of JSR-168 Portal/Portlet container and WSRP for 
later stage. Hope many developers / designers will join in to realize 
the benefits of industry standards.

File Upload error

[Erez Efrati]

Hi,

I am trying to do file uploading of several files and I keep getting the
following error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
org.apache.commons.fileupload.MultipartStream.setHeaderEncoding(Ljava/la
ng/String;)V

I am using JBoss/Tomcat 4.1.24. The upload struts sample works just fine
under 4.1.27 - I haven't tried it under 4.1.24.

Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks,

RE: [OT] Web Services, what have I done?

[Greg Hess]

Many thanks for your input,

I am trying to justify converting my implementation to use SOAP and
WSDL. My main concern is in the complexities that this would introduce
into this web service. If a large majority of developers out there are
not familiar with SOAP and WSDL it might add a large learning curve for
the clients of the web service. 

Is this standard really taking off, enough to justify my time and
efforts in the conversion and my clients in learning SOAP and WSDL or am
I in the dark and most already know it?

One of my main objectives right now is to document the web service and
love the idea of being able to use WSDL to do it. Having to document my
whole implementation will take some time and would prefer only having to
document the RPC's and functionality not to mention using a commercial
approach that probably handles many issues I have not yet encountered.

Greg

RE: Does Tiles supports skins???

You can achieve this by using a controllerURL to change the definition on the fly.  I 
use this technique for my personal site so the user can set their own style sheet and

Subject: Does Tiles supports skins???

Hi,

I am am newbie working with Struts and Tiles and I am having problems
to develop and application that the user can make a choice among the
differents skins from the application.

The layout I'm currently using is the classic one (header, menu, body
and footer)

Each skin has its own css's, layouts, images, and the header, menu and
footer.

I have the tiles defined in the tile-defs.xml for the default skin and
my first thought was to overload the whole tile definition at runtime
through a jsp,using the user skin preference that I have in session.

But does not work, because when I put in the value a <%= => the
results is an empty string form this tile.

Does someone know a method to do this?

Thanks folks.

tag writing newbie

[Mike Whittaker]

I have a List of subclasses that need to be iterated over and rendered in
jsp.

I notice that 'instanceof' is a reserved word in jstl, but has not been
implemented yet. So I now feel the need to write a tag.

On 1st glance I thought custom tag would be limited to Strings, but I see
that I can get at Request object.

So I am proposing this sort of thing:



 Rendering mySubClass 
...


Then in the tag class

List myList = (List)request.getAttribute("myList")
myList.get(//int from loop.count//)
// do is instanceof
// set variable for tag attribute 'set' ie 'type' to a String indicating
subclass

Questions:
0/ Is there a better/easier way to accomplish this?
1/ Can I use EL in my own tags (${loop.count}), if not automatic how?
2/ Is there a simpler way to get at the objects in my List within tag class,
than this?

i use it as a Struts plugin but you can use the factory in anyway you
want...

In attachment goes the source code.
Put in the lib directory:
  commons-beanutils
  commons-collections
  commons-digester
  log4j
  servlet.jar
  struts.jar

later i can email you an web app example... so you can take a peek
at a real cenario.

it doesn't do nothing yet but if you run ant javadoc you could check
the javadoc documentation docs/api...

the license is missing but it will be open (don't know
what open source/free software license to use).

Comments and ideas for improvement are welcome :)

Hope you find it has useful as i did,

writing an actionform for nested indexed properties

[Cameron Hickey]

I am trying to write an actionform which will properly handle an array
of indexed properties which look like this:

ip[0].itemPropertys[0].itemPropertyId
ip[0].itemPropertys[0].value

ip[1].itemPropertys[0].itemPropertyId
ip[1].itemPropertys[0].value

etc...


In my Action form, what getters and setters do I need?

This is what I have so far:

public List getIp() { return ip;}
public void setIp(List ipList) {ip = ipList;}

public List getItemPropertys(int idx) {return (List) ip.get(idx); } 
public void setItemPropertys(int idx,ItemProperty ipe)
{ip.set(idx,ipe);}

public ItemProperty getItemProperty(int idx, List ipl) {return
(ItemProperty) ipl.get(idx);}
public void setItemProperty(int idx,List ipl, ItemProperty tip)
{ipl.set(idx,tip);}

public String getValue(ItemProperty tip) {return tip.getValue();}
public void setValue(String s, ItemProperty tip) {tip.setValue(s);}

public int getItemPropertyId(ItemProperty tip) {return
tip.getItemPropertyId();}
public void setItemPropertyId(int i, ItemProperty tip)
{tip.setItemPropertyId(i);}




but when I try to submit the form, I get this error:


java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.getIndexedProperty(PropertyUt
ils.java:497)

org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.getIndexedProperty(PropertyUt

a:780)
at
org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils.setProperty(BeanUtils.java:793)
at
org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils.populate(BeanUtils.java:726)


which I assume is coming from the fact that I don't have all the right
getters and setters available, since it must be trying to call one that
does not exist (thus the null pointer).

Is this right?

Should I have other getters and setters?



THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!

Re: [OT] Shopping cart best practices - Cookie, HttpSession or DB

[Mark Lowe]

I haven't any tech input, but I've an idea how I'd stagger the 
development.I'd forget about cookies and db's at first, save them for a 
later stage.

1. Store your cart in session, and when that all works. For everyone. 
Gets to the checkout and funds are exchanged.

2. Create a login where clever stuff like saving your objects to db's 
goes on.

3. Then once you've a logged in user start thinking about when to save 
the cart.

if(user.isLogged()) {
//or however your api lets you do it
cart.save();
}
None of what I've said is ground breaking, but It does avoid messing 
with cookies, up to this stage. When the user logs in s/he gets his/her 
cart back.

4. I guess the final stage could be to do the cookie stuff, so users 
are logged in as soon as they get to the site. And thus the retrieval 
of the cart also, as its already in place integration would be smooth.

Don't know who useful this is, but there's nothing to offer in terms of 
the actual mechanisms in play. But by getting folks paying asap, the 
extras don't become show stoppers.

Cheers Mark

Re: HttpServletResponse in ActionForm.reset()

What do you want to do with HttpServletResponse in

The reset() method is intended to reset necessary
properties in form beans in case they are not posted
from browsers. If anything gets wrong in the method,
you could throw IllegalArgumentException or

Sateesh,
What you want to do is typically done on the client side in JavaScript. That
is not to say that it can't be done at the server, but for performance
reasons, the JavaScript solution avoids having to refresh the page each time
an item or items are moved from one select box to another. Once the items
are moved, then the request can be sent to the server and the changes can be
updated in the DB or wherever.

Regards,

Richard

I'm not sure if it's in a correct or usable form as-is, but anyone familiar
with Struts should be able to get the examples running in their container of
choice.

I have a few more things to add (like setting disabled dates, etc) but I
wanted to get some feedback now before cleaning everything up and adding
more functionality.

If you have any thoughts, please let me know so I can make it more useable

i think, actually, there is none... the difference is for what i use
the view beans for: transfering data from actions to
build combobox on form and present data that isn't on a form.

i know i can use the form itself to put a collection to
build a combobox and use another form bean property
to store the user input but it is less
confusing if i define forms with only the properties the
user can enter data and
another bean for transmitting data (dto... in my case i call it view bean).

before the plugin i had to define a new java class
(attributes + getters/setters) for each
new dto i wanted, now, i only need to add some lines
to a xml file...

RE: [OT] Web Services, what have I done?

Yes, SOAP, WSDL and UDDI are THE standards for web services. The primary 
motivation for web services is interoperability among disparate systems. 
Without the using the standards, you won't get the interoperability. The 
Java Web Services Developer Pack (JWSDP - http://java.sun.com/webservices/) 
from Sun including JAX-RPC make it relatively painless to develop your web 
service in a standardized way. You should probably also read the tutorial: 
http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.2/tutorial/doc/index.html

redirect and post form

[Peter Bliznak]

Hi,
I have app which needs to go to external url to make payment.
I am aware of how to redirect but from what I understand it is
not possible to redirect and post. ( only to put parameters to
request). That is not acceptable solution if customer's and account
credential are taken into account.
My  question is : is there ANY solution to this?
I cannot possible be first person running into this scenario.
-- gather info -- post it into hidden fields on next page -- and from there
  it SHOULD get posted to
  external(absolute) URL for proccesing
Any info would be appreaciated

Regards,

Peter

RE: [OT] Shopping cart best practices - Cookie, HttpSession or DB

[Brian McSweeney]

Hi Mark,

Actually this is EXACTLY what I was thinking of doing.
The one problem that I had with this idea is that I was 
a bit worried about filling up the session object with 
lots of stuff. 

Is this not really a problem?

Cheers,
Brian

DB

I haven't any tech input, but I've an idea how I'd stagger the 
development.I'd forget about cookies and db's at first, save them for a 
later stage.

1. Store your cart in session, and when that all works. For everyone. 
Gets to the checkout and funds are exchanged.

2. Create a login where clever stuff like saving your objects to db's 
goes on.

3. Then once you've a logged in user start thinking about when to save 
the cart.

if(user.isLogged()) {
//or however your api lets you do it
cart.save();
}

None of what I've said is ground breaking, but It does avoid messing 
with cookies, up to this stage. When the user logs in s/he gets his/her 
cart back.

4. I guess the final stage could be to do the cookie stuff, so users 
are logged in as soon as they get to the site. And thus the retrieval 
of the cart also, as its already in place integration would be smooth.

Don't know who useful this is, but there's nothing to offer in terms of 
the actual mechanisms in play. But by getting folks paying asap, the 
extras don't become show stoppers.

Cheers Mark

RE: [OT] Shopping cart best practices - Cookie, HttpSession or DB

[Greg Ludington]

>1. Store your cart in session, and when that all works. For everyone. 
>Gets to the checkout and funds are exchanged.

While I agree with the previous posters who said that it would make your
life easier if you can require login, if you absolutely need to save
carts of users regardless of login status, you might consider having
your Cart object impelment
javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionBindingListener.  Objects implementing
this interface are notified when they are bound to or unbound from
(either explicitly or by the session itself expiring/invalidated) a
session, and can perform tasks at these times.

In your case, when your Cart object is unbound you would save its
contents to your database.  (Conversely, when you first bind a Cart
object to a session, you can check the database and refresh its
contents, if any.)  Nothing about this approach prohibits you from
saving Cart information at other appropriate times -- user logins,
purchases, and the like -- this approach just allows you the ability to
store information, like cart contents, at the end of a client session.

I typically use JMeter (available from Apache) for this sort of thing.

One issue to keep in mind, though, is that page rendering speed for JSP
pages with lots of custom tags (typical for Struts-based apps) is *very*
dependent on the quality of the JSP page compiler in your container.

For Tomcat, for instance, the page compiler was rewritten completely in
the 4.1 release time frame (and the new compiler is inherited in 5.x), and
the performance improvements were enormous -- with zero changes to the
actual application.

DB Access from BLB

[Kapadia Mitesh-C23457]

Hello.  I am fairly new to STRUTS and am trying to write a BLB (Business
Logic Bean) in the 'Model' to connect to a database, do a simple query, and
return a resultset.

Should I then read the resultset into the DTO/Value Object/DataBean so I can
dispay them on the appropriate page?  

Any advice and assistance would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

- Mitesh

Re: DB Access from BLB

[Emerson Cargnin]

I'm not so expericed in struts, so any correction  from the gurus are 
welcome.

If your DTO is a list, I think you have to put it at some context 
(req,session or app, it depends of the your app). So at at the page you 
use iterate (for a table list), or select/options (for a combobox), etc. 
If it's the data for changing (eg: editing data from a business entity), 
you can use BeanUtils.copyProperty to copy the data from your DTO to 
your from FormBean.

RE: tag writing newbie

>1/ Can I use EL in my own tags (${loop.count}), if not automatic how?

Yes, http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/el/api/index.html

Are you constructing a list of different types? If so that will complicate
things especially if they
have no common characteristics. If they are all of the same type, you should
be able to interate over them with standard JSTL and Struts tags

Subject: tag writing newbie


I have a List of subclasses that need to be iterated over and rendered in
jsp.

I notice that 'instanceof' is a reserved word in jstl, but has not been
implemented yet. So I now feel the need to write a tag.

On 1st glance I thought custom tag would be limited to Strings, but I see
that I can get at Request object.

So I am proposing this sort of thing:



 Rendering mySubClass 
...


Then in the tag class

List myList = (List)request.getAttribute("myList")
myList.get(//int from loop.count//)
// do is instanceof
// set variable for tag attribute 'set' ie 'type' to a String indicating
subclass

Questions:
0/ Is there a better/easier way to accomplish this?
1/ Can I use EL in my own tags (${loop.count}), if not automatic how?
2/ Is there a simpler way to get at the objects in my List within tag class,
than this?

RE: Horizon: a view management plugin

[Robert Taylor]

Pedro,

I'ld be interested in your implementation as I did the same thing.
I define what I call view configurations in an XML file. On startup
they are cached and I can access them at run time. It sure beats
writing a bunch of throw-away Java beans which are used to present
data.

Accessing a particular view configuration is as simple as:

DynaBean view = ViewFactory.getInstance().getView(viewName);

Struts Advanced Resoures: Flash

RE: RE : Remote and local EJB

[Alok Tijoriwala]

Hi Viral,

As per my understanding containers are smart enough to
treat the invocation as remote or local. I know that
for IBM Websphere 5.0.

Typically the web layer and buisness layers are
separately deployed and so a very rare chance of
having a local interface for your EJB. And if the
communication is inevitable than its preferred using
normal Java Beans.

EJB-EJB communication may involve local interfaces for
certain highly couled EJB designs.

Alok

[Viral_Thakkar]

I think this part we need to explore. Even I don't know about this configuration but 
if we can find solution to this then nothing like that...

Otherwise configuration using the external properties/xml files always there... :)

But still I think we need to have code for both , accessing remote and local EJBs in 
the EJB client program (business delegate) and it will read some file and will execute 
only one of the block (remote or local)...

Wht u all say..???

I think EJB configuration files may also help us to achieve the same.

You can have properties file where you can define which interface should you
consider for calling EJBs. SO that you dont have to change your code to
serve your purpose.
Let me know what do you think

If we know that EJBs and struts classes will reside in same JVM then why we
should also invoke the stateless session bean remotely? We can invoke that
session bean using the local interface... rite .?

Although I agree that in furure, we may deploy web and app classes on
different machines, so that's why I am looking for a solution where we can
take advantage of both local and remote interface of EJB.

I would say we should prefer the local EJB call instead of remote EJB call
as far as possible.

Hi Viral

Ideally there should be one stateless session bean within action class and
business component EJBs so that you have only one remote call and all other
EJB calls are local. You should always program considering different tiers
on different machines, although you are using the web and app tier on same
machine now. Let me know what do you think on this.

Thanks Jim.

I am using the oracle 9iAS. I also developed the EJB which supports both
remote and local access. I am also able to invoke this EJB from my action
class. I accessed this EJB using the remote and also using local interface
separately.

The reason why I want this EJB to be deployed both as local and remote is
that at present EJB will be accessed by the struts action class, both are in
same JVM so I can access the EJB using the local interface.

In future when we do clustering then at that time, EJB bean may be at
different server, in different JVM, at that time struts action class should
dynamically find the remote EJB.

One way I think, we can handle such situation in the catch block of the
NamingException() while accessing the local bean, we need to lookup the
remote EJB. But it seems that this is not the good programming practice.

So I am looking for some design pattern or framework, which supports the
solution to this problem.

Thanks,
Viral

So let me see if I understand what it is you are wanting to accomplish.  It
sounds like you have a bunch of EJBs, a Struts application and several
servers.  You would like http requests coming in to be 'evaluated' by your
application and then based on some information within that request (i.e.
users name, users ip address, users browsers type, users preference
selection, or possibly even the current servers load) invoke either a local
or a remote EJB.  For example maybe

It is still too early to tell. I believe in simplicity and the right 
design that up to now Struts-Tiles give us elegant 
controller-templating engine. Craig has stated his "ideal goal" for 
developing Struts to work with JSR-168. The challenge is to have 
something like tiles as a template engine according to JSR-168 
specifications for Portal / Portlet container(s).

I think after the release of JSR-168 Reference Inplementation, many 
Struts developers  (i know at least a number of Portals based on 
Struts-Tiles, all except basicPortal.com , stating to support 
JSR-168)  (i am one of them) will seriously put some time in this 
refactoring process.

Just FYI, this is the reason bP will bypass 168:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=jetspeed-user&m=105850057414235&w=2
bP action event context actually handles the potlet  api and servlet 
api (as it was built to handle more the servlets... SOAP for example), 
but instead will focus on WS, SOA, XML-RPC and other things that 
address a heterogeneous environment, organizations that have C# and 
Java. If anyone wants to jump of the bridge... I will have even more 
clients. :-)

I plan to implent something better than dataGridGirl.com, Ex:
http://www.tufat.com/datagrid/datagrid2.html
So we just have different goals. What is the url to the portal you are 
building, if it is avialable?

.V
The discussion of pro and con of server-side and client-side 
technologies have been partly explored in Jetspeed  Mailing list. I 
generally agree with the view that given current status, the JSR-168 
authors have done a good job to balance what can be best to deliver at 
this time. The client side state maintenance still needs to be addressed 
by Java developer community.

My portal development actually takes the similar approach as you are 
planning to do to get our portlets and personalization engine working 
with standard Portal / Portlet containers, and gradually move into our 
Portal/Portlet container built from open technologies such as Struts.

Re: is there any Dependable Option List Tag ?

[Jing Zhou]

To me, if resources and time allowed, I would use pure JavaScript to do it
for
faster performance. But using a server-side reusable logic is also very
appealing.

You could attach a custom event to the first drop-down list as follows:




In your action class, if you find the parameter with name "9change", you
could invoke a general purpose method that takes property1 as the current
selected item in the first drop-down list and property2 as a map holding
key/value
pairs. You use the property1 as the key to find the value which is type of
String[].
You assign the value to property3 to which the option of the second select
list is bound to.
And finally you return the action forward to the current page.

This example tells me that the reusable logic and reusable component are
very different and sometime the reusable logic is easier to use.
You could plug such reusable logic into anywhere in your page
without having to introduce a *compound* component in terms of new tags.

nested:iterate rendering fails

[John . E . Gregg]

Hi all,
 
I have a form with a nested bean.  That bean contains a collection I'm
trying to iterate with indexed properties.  I tried first doing this without
the nested tags but had no success.  (The page displayed but instead of
myForm.nestedBean.element[0].property, I only got element[0].property.)  I
did add the extra getter and setter to the nestedBean, but I guess Struts
expects it to be on the form.
 
I then tried the nested tags based on this post:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=struts-user

&m=105364604308495&w=2.  This seemed promising, but the page won't even
render.  The relevant part of the stack trace is at the end of this message.
My jsp code looks like this:
 



...







"clientDoc" is the bean on the form.  "defects" is a collection on the form.
"statusEffectiveDate" is a property of each element in the defects
collection.  I ran the debugger and can see that NestedIterateTag's
"property" property is set to "clientDoc.defects," which seems reasonable,
and "originalProperty" is set to "defects."  Some attr is trying to be
looked up, but it's name is null.  I'm using Struts 1.1 rc1.
 
thanks a lot

RE: is there any Dependable Option List Tag ?

[Yee, Richard K,,DMDCWEST]

Sateesh,
You can make the JavaScript solution as a component by having a tag library
produce the necessary java script and HTML tags together or by having it
just produce the HTML tags and including the necessary JavaScript functions
in a separate .js file.

You need to balance the ease of you development with the useability of the
product. What's the point of having easily reused code if it produces a web
site that is very slow and awkward to use?

Sateesh,
What you want to do is typically done on the client side in JavaScript. That
is not to say that it can't be done at the server, but for performance
reasons, the JavaScript solution avoids having to refresh the page each time
an item or items are moved from one select box to another. Once the items
are moved, then the request can be sent to the server and the changes can be
updated in the DB or wherever.

RE: Setting a Welcome File + Tiles + PreCompiled JSP's

[Kevin Peters]

I remember reading something when we first started building our STRUTS
application that said that you had to have a physical file outside the
WEB-INF directory representing your welcomefile.  All of our JSPs reside in
a subdirectory under WEB-INF, so we put a blank file named index.do in the
root directory and it works like a charm (no redirects needed).

Re: writing an actionform for nested indexed properties

[Nicholas L Mohler]

Cameron,

Are you sure that your request attributes are named that way?  I read that
as a 3 dimensional table...do you really have that in your page?

If you are getting those request attributes, then I'm stumped, but I'd love
to know the answer :-)

Otherwise...you need a getter/setter for the collection which get s and
sets a collection of "bean" objects.  You also need a get method for a
single element in your indexed collection.  For example:

public Collection getIps() {return ips;}
public void setIps(ArrayList ips) {this.ips = ips;}

public ItemProperties getIp(int index) {
  while (index >= ips.size()) {
ips.add(new ItemProperties());
  }
  return (ItemProperties)ips.get(index);
}

nested indexed properties   
  08/21/2003 10:00 

  AM   

  Please respond to

  "Struts Users

  Mailing List"

   

   





I am trying to write an actionform which will properly handle an array
of indexed properties which look like this:

ip[0].itemPropertys[0].itemPropertyId
ip[0].itemPropertys[0].value

ip[1].itemPropertys[0].itemPropertyId
ip[1].itemPropertys[0].value

etc...


In my Action form, what getters and setters do I need?

This is what I have so far:

public List getIp() { return ip;}
public void setIp(List ipList) {ip = ipList;}

public List getItemPropertys(int idx) {return (List) ip.get(idx); }
public void setItemPropertys(int idx,ItemProperty ipe)
{ip.set(idx,ipe);}

public ItemProperty getItemProperty(int idx, List ipl) {return
(ItemProperty) ipl.get(idx);}
public void setItemProperty(int idx,List ipl, ItemProperty tip)
{ipl.set(idx,tip);}

public String getValue(ItemProperty tip) {return tip.getValue();}
public void setValue(String s, ItemProperty tip) {tip.setValue(s);}

public int getItemPropertyId(ItemProperty tip) {return
tip.getItemPropertyId();}
public void setItemPropertyId(int i, ItemProperty tip)
{tip.setItemPropertyId(i);}




but when I try to submit the form, I get this error:


java.lang.NullPointerException

org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.getIndexedProperty(PropertyUt
ils.java:497)

org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.getIndexedProperty(PropertyUt

 at
org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils.setProperty(BeanUtils.java:793)
 at
org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils.populate(BeanUtils.java:726)


which I assume is coming from the fact that I don't have all the right
getters and setters available, since it must be trying to call one that
does not exist (thus the null pointer).

Is this right?

Should I have other getters and setters?



THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!

Cameron

Validator with property String array problem

[java-dude]

Hi,

I am having problems using  Validator framework to perform client 
side validation on a String array property declared in a 
DynaValidatorForm.

The results are that the validation does seem to work in a fashion 
such that the user is not taken to the next page and is kept on 
current jsp while data entered is invalid BUT no pop up alert error 
messages are being diplayed. (For other forms in the application 
where I am validating single properties the validation and pop up 
error messages are working fine.)

Has anybody solved/encountered this problem ?

I have provided the relevant snippets from my current configuration 
to illustrate my implementation :-

struts-config.xml

Re: [OT] Shopping cart best practices - Cookie, HttpSession or DB

[Adam Hardy]

I think the issue of using up server memory with lots of shopping carts 
in the session is worth thinking about. It's just a question of maths - 
how much memory have you got, what is the peak number of users 
envisaged, how much stuff are you going to store in the session? even 
then I think some app servers swap out sessions to the hard drive when 
memory is low.

You don't need more than an array of item ids and quantities, methinks, 
so it should be small.

1. Store your cart in session, and when that all works. For everyone.

While I agree with the previous posters who said that it would make your
life easier if you can require login, if you absolutely need to save
carts of users regardless of login status, you might consider having
your Cart object impelment
javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionBindingListener.  Objects implementing
this interface are notified when they are bound to or unbound from
(either explicitly or by the session itself expiring/invalidated) a
session, and can perform tasks at these times.
In your case, when your Cart object is unbound you would save its
contents to your database.  (Conversely, when you first bind a Cart
object to a session, you can check the database and refresh its
contents, if any.)  Nothing about this approach prohibits you from
saving Cart information at other appropriate times -- user logins,
purchases, and the like -- this approach just allows you the ability to
store information, like cart contents, at the end of a client session.

Quick Java question..

[David Erickson]

Hey as I've been building my actions I was thinking it could be useful for
me to have a method that does some database querying, but I would like to
give the user the ability to narrow down that query with as many input
fields as he needs.  Is there a way to write a method that takes a non-set
amount of arguments?  (Other than just passing the method a growable array..
which is a viable alternative)

Ie

public String myfunction(String a, String b, String c on down the line
indefinitly)

?
I thought I had seen this done somewhere somehow but I may be wrong.

flow question

[Travis Stevens]

To reach a goal, I need many different actions.  One is to select a 
record, then choose elements in that record and so on.
The select a record actions has actions within itself.  Display search 
criteria, display results.

Is it acceptable to have a single action as a controller, delegating 
request to each sub action, or is better to go sequentially from one 
action to another.  I guess the problem with a single action, is that 
one can only use one type of ActionForm.

Any other thoughts on this?

Re: [OT] concatenation in java script

[Adam Hardy]

Hi Prashanth,
you need to code a function for the onsubmit event. Link the function to 
the onsubmit attribute of the form.

in the function, get the values from your dropdowns, concatenate them 
with your chosen seperator character and set the resulting string into 
the value property of a hidden field.

Then return true.

In your action form, have a property for the hidden field.

Check the archives for a discussion recently of the correct syntax for 
getting the value of a dropdown's selected option. Or check your 
favourite html website. I can't remember it exactly of the top of my head.

I'd be interested to know why you need to concatenate the values on the 
browser, instead of on the server.

Good luck
Adam

You can make your parms Object []
This way you can pass as many params as you want.
Of course you will need to keep track of what element is what.

Maybe Java 1.5 will have the feature you are looking for :-)

Page After Login - Refresh problem

[Cezar Nasui]

Hello,

I used Struts to develop a web app which has a login form to permit access
to different functionnalities via a menu page. I use a session var I set at
login to check if the user has not logged out.
The problem that I have is, once I do the logoff, if I use the Back button
of the browser to the menu page and do a refresh a new session gets created
and I'm able to use the app.
I have a filter to do the verification but I tried before doing it in each
Action and I have the same problem. I don't access .jsp pages directly, I
have an Action for each of them.
I read some posts but none seems to talk about my specific problem.

It sounds like a begginer caveat but I have no idea what should I do or what
am I doing wrong.
Any help appreciated,

Cezar

Sending a file for download and refreshing the page

[Derek Richardson]

My application allows you to download files. This is done by opening a new browser 
window (separate from the main application) which walks the user through a wizard to 
select a download. In the final action of this wizard, I set the mime type to 
"application\download" and the Content-Disposition header to "attachment; 
file=file.txt", write the file being downloaded to the ServletOutputStream that I 
obtain from the HttpServletResponse, and flush the buffer. All very simple.
 
The problem is that, after the file is downloaded, the browser window is just left 
hanging there with the last contents displayed. I need a way to close that window. The 
best solution would be to display a confirmation page in the window after the download 
and then allow a user to click a button to close the window. Second best would be to 
just close the window.
 
I tried returning an ActionForward, both a regular forward and a redirect, from my 
action and it seems that it is simply ignored. I tried setting 
onsubmit="window.close()" on the form that starts the download, but then the download 
doesn't happen.
 
I searched the archives, with no success.
 
Any help is appreciated.

Or wait till 1.5 ;)

http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/community/chat/JavaLive/2003/jl0729.html

*Neal Gafter*: Then there's autoboxing/unboxing and varargs. Boxing 
allows you to use a primitive int instead of a |java.lang.Integer|, and 
unboxing does the reverse. varargs allows you to declare a method that 
takes a variable number of arguments, which are automatically packed up 
into an array before being passed to the method.

Solution: Whats the security trick for not permiting the browser back button on SignOut?

[Henry Voyer]

Hi everyone

I found the solution. Its related to the browser cached pages.
The trick is that in struts you specified to the controller not to let the
browser to cache the html pages of your apps. That way the browser has to
ask for the page every time that its been accessed. And in consequence, to
validate the authentication of the user.

So in the controller config in struts-config.xml you put something like

  

nocache="true" is the trick.

PS. Don't forget to redirect the error 400 to the login page. In web.xml add

   
  400
  /index.jsp
   

Regards

Telling Users to Wait

Hello Struts Gurus,

I am facing an issue in my application where I need to run a database
creation script, and a database import script through the web (running
bat files on the server).  I can run these files fine, but they take a
few minutes to run...  

How can I tell the user when they have finished running?  This seems to
be a sort of push technology I am in need of, but maybe there is another
way?.  I can definitely tell them to wait for a few minutes, but how do
I actually tell them when the process is done (since there is not
another page request at this time.)

Has anyone done something similar to this?

I did something similar and used a refresh tag to update the screen whilst
the process was running ... it would show % completed (in text i.e. 25%
etc).

I had my database processing running in a new thread.

I had a session attribute BEEN_HERE, if that was null I start the process.  

When the process is complete and BEEN_HERE was not null I removed the
attribute and forwarded to the next page.

Hi Mark,

One way to do it is have a page refresh that checks for a completion flag.
The page/action would poll the object with the flag on eahc refresh, when
set, display completion message.

This is just a hunch, but, I suspect you can't change the character encoding
after you have started writing content to the stream. In that case, your
best bet is to do this at the very top of the JSP page:

 <%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>

Also, there is another consideration if you are using Tiles. Again this is
just a hunch, but, I suspect that you would have to have that directive as
the first line of your Tiles master layout template JSP. The concept
mentioned above for a single page applies to a Tiles page generated
dynamically from multiple JSPs all writing to the same response stream.

We ran into something like this using the Struts template custom tags with
Struts 1.0 back in 2001. We were correctly setting the character encoding
using the page directive on individual content JSPs, but, had left it off
our master page layout template JSP. So, it never took until we tracked that
down. Duh!

Hope this helps, Van

Hi Viral,

As per my understanding containers are smart enough to
treat the invocation as remote or local. I know that
for IBM Websphere 5.0.
Typically the web layer and buisness layers are
separately deployed and so a very rare chance of
having a local interface for your EJB. And if the
communication is inevitable than its preferred using
normal Java Beans.
EJB-EJB communication may involve local interfaces for
certain highly couled EJB designs.

This seems to be good idea.

I think EJB configuration files may also help us to
achieve the same.

You can have properties file where you can define
which interface should you
consider for calling EJBs. SO that you dont have to
change your code to
serve your purpose.
Let me know what do you think

If we know that EJBs and struts classes will reside
in same JVM then why we
should also invoke the stateless session bean
remotely? We can invoke that
session bean using the local interface... rite .?
Although I agree that in furure, we may deploy web
and app classes on
different machines, so that's why I am looking for a
solution where we can
take advantage of both local and remote interface of
EJB.
I would say we should prefer the local EJB call
instead of remote EJB call
as far as possible.

Hi Viral

Ideally there should be one stateless session bean
within action class and
business component EJBs so that you have only one
remote call and all other
EJB calls are local. You should always program
considering different tiers
on different machines, although you are using the
web and app tier on same
machine now. Let me know what do you think on this.

Subject: RE : Remote and local EJB
Thanks Jim.

I am using the oracle 9iAS. I also developed the EJB
which supports both
remote and local access. I am also able to invoke
this EJB from my action
class. I accessed this EJB using the remote and also
using local interface
separately.
The reason why I want this EJB to be deployed both
as local and remote is
that at present EJB will be accessed by the struts
action class, both are in
same JVM so I can access the EJB using the local
interface.
In future when we do clustering then at that time,
EJB bean may be at
different server, in different JVM, at that time
struts action class should
dynamically find the remote EJB.
One way I think, we can handle such situation in the
catch block of the
NamingException() while accessing the local bean, we
need to lookup the
remote EJB. But it seems that this is not the good
programming practice.
So I am looking for some design pattern or
framework, which supports the
solution to this problem.
Thanks,
Viral

So let me see if I understand what it is you are
wanting to accomplish.  It
sounds like you have a bunch of EJBs, a Struts
application and several
servers.  You would like http requests coming in to
be 'evaluated' by your
application and then based on some information
within that request (i.e.
users name, users ip address, users browsers type,
users preference
selection, or possibly even the current servers
load) invoke either a local
or a remote EJB.  For example maybe you have an EJB
that does some realy
heavy calculatations like a ray-tracer and for some
important users you want

Disallow user to modify URL in browser address bar

[sriram]

How to identify if user has manipulated the URL in Address Bar of the browser?

For ex., the application displays a page with the following URL:

http://localhost:8080/app/str/testview_srchpost.do

Now, the user modifies the URL in the address bard. Instead of testview_srchpost.do, 
user types testtwoview_srchpost.do and clicks ENTER.

I want to restrict such types of URL modification Struts application. I should take 
the user to a default access denied page when ever user does such changes.

How to identify this action of the user? Pl. give some ideas.

Subject: Telling Users to Wait


Hello Struts Gurus,

I am facing an issue in my application where I need to run a database
creation script, and a database import script through the web (running
bat files on the server).  I can run these files fine, but they take a
few minutes to run...

How can I tell the user when they have finished running?  This seems to
be a sort of push technology I am in need of, but maybe there is another
way?.  I can definitely tell them to wait for a few minutes, but how do
I actually tell them when the process is done (since there is not
another page request at this time.)

Has anyone done something similar to this?

Thanks,
Mark
