Firstly check that redirect is false in the forward to the view.
(If it is already false then thats not the problem and you should post some
more of your code and configs so we can try and see whats going wrong.)

Hi All,

I have a problem redisplaying form fields a user enters within a html form.

I use the validate method to validate form entry fields through ActionForms.
and validate business logic in LookupDispatchAction classes.

Has anyone experienced this problem, and is there any solution to this
matter.

[ANN] FreeMarker 2.3pre13 available

2003-09-04 Thread Jonathan Revusky

Greetings,

I'm making this announcement because I consider that it is of general 
interest to Struts users who are investigating other view technologies 
(i.e. alternatives to JSP).

A new preview release of FreeMarker 2.3 is available. Though it's a 
preview, at this point, FM 2.3 is really approaching its final state.

FreeMarker is a well known template engine written in 100% pure Java. It 
is used as a component in various web application frameworks, such as 
JPublish, Niggle, Open for Business, and Tammi. Also, FreeMarker can be 
configured for use as the view layer for model 2 web frameworks, of 
which Struts is the best known example. Here is a link to the manual 
page that explains how to configure FreeMarker for use in conjunction 
with Struts:

http://freemarker.org/docs/pgui_misc_servlet.html

With the 2.3 release cycle, FreeMarker continues to get better. 
FreeMarker 2.2 introduced clean support for JSP taglibs. One user raved 
that he was amazed that it was actually simpler and more straightforward 
to use JSP taglibs from FreeMarker templates than from JSP's! What this 
means, of course, is that Struts users can migrate from JSP->FM without 
losing any investment they may have in JSP taglibs (their own or from 
third parties.)

In FreeMarker 2.3, the new visit and recurse directives may well make it
easier to do recursive XSLT-style transformations in FreeMarker than 
with XSLT itself!

FM 2.3 also adds some other appealing new features, such as the ability
to use variable interpolations in string literals, and the ability to
define functions with return values in the template language.
In short, for those of you who are open to making your lives simpler by
finding more usable alternatives to better-known (and more widely-hyped)
technologies such as JSP and XSLT, FreeMarker really deserves some
serious attention.
For more information, visit http://freemarker.org/ (or
http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/)  or the FreeMarker project page at
http://sf.net/projects/freemarker .
Best Regards,

Jonathan Revusky

How to reference multiple form beans from one VelocityLayoutServlet set of page fragments?

I need to have two forms displayed on the same Velocity template page.   I 
can receive a reference to one form bean via the ActionMapping.  I've been 
unable to determine how to gain a reference to the second form bean.


Reference to how it could be done in pure jsp:

http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg22976.html

Reference to how multiple forms may not work with Velocity:

http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg06945.html

Contrary reference that it might be possible to reference "multiple forms" 
with $form in Velocity:

http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg05261.html


Probably unimportant details:

I'm using Struts 1.1, Tomcat 4.1.27, the Validator, and the 
VelocityLayoutServlet from Velocity-tools-1.0.  I've got my layout broken 
out into the generic standard:

layout
header
menu
body
footer

I've got a form that is generally visible in the menu section.
I have arbitrary forms that can appear in the body section, and these I plan 
to pass by the action mapping.
I'm using org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm for all Form Beans.

Thanks!

-Mike

My Action mappings have an  tag inside them.  Not sure if it's
required, but I don't have the problem you're reporting, so you might try
that.  The struts-example webapp struts-config.xml is a place to look for an
example.

What are the 'name', 'type' and 'scope' attributes doing here?  See:
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/struts-html.html#form for the
attributes you can specify.

I think the 'action' attribute should match the path from one of the
ActionMappings.  I don't think the ".do" belongs in there although I'm not
sure if it's hurting anything.  (But why are the actions mapped underneath a
directory called jsp?)

A debugger like JSwat is VERY informative at this stage in learning Struts.
Install it, point it at the source code for both your webapp and Struts
itself, and prepare to have a bunch of "lightbulb moments".

Yes if you forward and not redirect back to the page.
Make sure your redirect attribute of the forward element in

My understanding is that its just an attribute thats passed straight

For example try tabindex="sparrow" and it should render okay. Although
any javascript might start dummy-spitting.
Thats probably a useful as a chocolate fire-guard. But I guess you

Pady,

Your references are named "resumeInformation", but your action definition is
saving the form under the name "Resume".  Which are you using?  You might be
better off changing your action's name="Resume" to, perhaps,
name="resumeInformation".

Putting your form in session scope will fix the immediate problem.

But have you spent some time examining the struts-example webapp?  See how
the URL's you click on never end in .jsp, but instead end in .do?

Your workflow should be:
Action -> jsp -> Action -> jsp

It's typical to "protect" the jsp's in a Struts webapp by putting them
underneath WEB-INF or adding a security constraint to prevent direct access
to them.

Yes if you forward and not redirect back to the page.
Make sure your redirect attribute of the forward element in
your action mapping is set to false. This, however, will
work regardless of the redirect attribute setting if your
form is in session scope.

Syntax for accessing an object nested in a List of Lists

2003-09-04 Thread Robert Taylor

I've run into some trouble accessing a nested object in my form.
The object "lives" in a List of Lists type of structure.

I've been using a syntax like the following assuming my List form
property is named 'list'.

list[index].[index].productId

This must be wrong because I get the following exception:

No getter method available for property list[0].[0].productId for bean under
name org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN'

I tried the following just to make sure it could find the 'first level'.

list[index]

This doesn't cause any exceptions, so I must have the syntax
wrong for accessing the 'second level' of the structure.


Any help would be appreciated?

values entered in the form, but when it forwards to the same jsp, now the
form is empty. I am using the html tag library to build the form. Should the
Action.execute method be setting the form values in the page context or
session context and then manually get the values back in the JSP page ? I
couldn't find an example where 

This workflow was happening:

 

x.jsp ( html form ) -->  Action --> x.jsp ( displays the form values entered
again )

 

 

Any help is appreciated.

Any progress/interest in a (WebObjects-like) "page state cache" Action for security? [WAS: Verifying integrity of URLs]

[This is a repost from Sept 2nd that doesn't appear to have made it to the
list.]

Funny you should ask. I was just going to propose a "page state cache"
Action type and see if anyone had either started on such a control or was
interested in working on such a control.

I've just come into the Struts 1.1 environment from WebObjects 5.0. Reading

through "Struts in Action" (which, by the way, seemed to be the best Struts
book out there that approached Struts in a professional
"what-you-need-to-know-to-get-it-done" fashion), I noticed the following
security concerns:

1) All struts pages have "random-access" accessibility. If you can guess
the url, you can try to go there.

2) All request-scope attributes are passed back to the client between
requests and are subject to viewing and alteration.

3) Any nested bean property on an action form can be passed a value from an
HTTP request (the "Nesting Exploit"). [not relevent, but included for
completeness]

WebObjects deals with 1) and 2) by using a session-id-based page state
cache. For example,

http://your-application-base-url/oy4qoV92cXabNbMAgBJfJg/0.3

For "0.3", the "3" represents which action got them here (which form or
link). The "0" represents how many times this page state was reloaded from
the calling page state.

The "oy4qoV92cXabNbMAgBJfJg" encodes the current session and the current
page state in a non-derivable fashion.

Each session has a page state cache which can store an arbitrary number of
pages (even multiple copies of the same page with different states). Each
page in the cache remembers all request-scope attributes.

Pros:
- You never pass request-scope attributes to the client unless you want to
provide them to the client.
- Users can be blocked from randomly-accessing your URLs.

Cons:
- Pages can't be bookmarked without appending additional "state" to the end

of your encoded url.
- Page caches require more memory
- Pages that are removed from the cache become inaccessible -- There's a

limit to how far you can backtrack.

Example:

I have an application with Customers and Accounts. Each Customer can have
1 or more Accounts. Once a customer has logged in, the Customer attribute
doesn't change (which makes it a good session attribute). However, the
current Account can change each request. If the current Account is stored
in the session, the customer cannot backtrack properly. If the Account is
stored in the URL, each URL action-invoker (forms/links) has to include it,
and the customer may choose to alter the value of account.

Worse, I may have a business requirement to treat some customers unfavorably

at times. It doesn't come across tactfully when your customers start seeing

that they're in the http://application/page?unimportantCustomer=true
catagory.

Maybe it's not unfavorably so much as political. Maybe I've got both Coke
and Pepsi as customers and they don't know it. Having
"?customer_type=coke" is probably going to be a dead giveaway. Having
"?z=2" is only helpful until they modify the url to be "?z=1" manually.

These are all contrived examples, and there are always other ways of doing
things, but a "page state cache" can one valid way of handling it that
reduces what data a client browser can access.

For more information, you can read section 4 at the following URL as well as

continuing to section 5.

Yes, WebObjects has a configurable strategy for handling this.

I posted a message about this on Sept 2nd, but it somehow never made it to

FormFile object keeping ActionForm from serializing

2003-09-04 Thread Steve Apeero

I have a Action Form that contains a FormFile object that holds the uploaded 
file for an image.
When the container trys to serialize my form an NotSerializableException is 
being thrown.

I have looked at the source code and found the FormFile's baseObject 
DiskFile does not implement the serializable interface, is there a special 
reason it does not?

I searched the archives and have not found a solution to this.

I have a couple of ideas for handling this:
1.) I could make the FormFile fields in the form transient excluding them 
from the serialization process
this has some obvious problems of not serializing the FormFileObjects.

2.) Extend the DiskFile Object to extend the Serializable inteface. This 
seems like more work than
should need to be done.

My questions are:
Has any one had to do either of the ideas that I have suggested?
What are the problems associated with each of the solutions beyond the 
obvious stated above?
Does any one have any other ideas that differ from the above.

Your Ideas are very much appreciated, Than you in advance.

Then in my action that processes the login form I do the following:

  String query = ... /// get the originalQuery from the dyna form

Constants4Lists is a class which has string constants to use for putting

Re: How to display an active GIF image after page submit

2003-09-04 Thread Adam Hardy

Since the file upload is part of the request that the browser sends to 
the server, I don't think the server can start the response until the 
request is finished, and even then it is also probably browser-dependent 
whether the browser would do anything with a response to a request that 
it was still sending.

However I have seen what you are specifying. At eBay when you upload 
pictures. I think you get a pop-up window that flashes 'wait' or 
something. So I suspect you would have to use a javascript solution, and 
possibly via a second browser window. Check out how eBay do it. But 
don't tell them you're looking, they'll probably try to patent it. ;)

Re: Is there a way to disable the browser's Back buttonwithoutsending an http request?

What you described is today's known practice. If you check
Struts source codes, you may find the token facility in Struts
may solve the problems you mentioned as backtracking. I buy it
with a little concern if we could make it as solid as your
Sony VCR :-)

When a web application is interrupted by the Back button, if anyone could
remove the message like "Don't try to backtrack -- we don't allow/support
it"
with a generic algorithm that allows the application flow to continue from
where it is interrupted, the algorithm is going to be welcomed, regardless
the
algorithm is server logic or client logic.

Maybe WebObjects could do it or some other frameworks?

What do the users do when they get a 'Page Expired' notice? They either 
go back another page (& presumably get the same thing again) or they go 
forward to where they came from (OK, no problem) or they click on 
bookmark to get back to the start. What do you find problematic?

The properties of the status object are index, count, begin, end, first,
last, step, and current. None of them will tell you the size of the array
being stepped through.

I think the best you can do is to use a   tag to retrieve the size

I posted this on the taglibs list and haven't heard back yet - thought I'd
try here.

I need to get the size of a list through which I'm iterating via 
before the last iteration. While I could add a property to my form bean, I
wonder if there's a way to access this from the loop status. From what I've
read, the varStatus attribute of the  tag exposes
an instance of LoopStatus, but I can't find any docs on the LoopStatus
class.

I'm guessing that since  exposes an Iterator, not a List, that
this is likely not supported, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Validator cannot find message key

2003-09-04 Thread Yuan, Saul (TOR-ML)

Hi,

 

I am using Struts Validator for validating a multi page form, some how
the Validator cannot find the messages defined in the application
resources. I got the validation error messages like: null is required.
I've defined arg0 in the validation.xml file, and the key of arg0 points
to a key in the application resource file. I verified that the message
can be found through , but why not by the validator? Any
ideas what the problem could be?

 

 

Thanks,

Saul

form and html:form work differently when using javascript...???









 

I have defined a custom tag that emulates "tabs".
This will help splitting a form across multiple tab pane. Each tab is a
hyperlink that sets a hidden form variable and submits the current form ( so
that the data is saved ). When I define a form and specify normal html
elements, the tab across works ( although the form data doesn't get saved
). But when I use struts html taglibrary for the html elements, I get a _javascript_
error about "method not supported". The only difference between the
generated html is that the struts html tags don't have the end tag of
some "input" elements.

 

I have attached the jsp code ( the commented portion is with
struts ). Each of the "tagarea" custom tag adds a hidden field with
its tab name as the value.

 

 

Thanks

[OT] Deploying EJB2.0 with EJB1.1

2003-09-04 Thread Vijay Pawar


Hi ALL,

I have a small issue that is stuck up like a bone in my throat !

In my ejb-jar file I have some MDBs and some EJB1.1 entity beans (CMP).

I have used "http://java.sun.com/dtd/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd";
in the ejb-jar.xml

When i try to create RMIC deploy code on WSAD5.0, everything fails.

Is there any way by which i can accomodate the EJB2.0 compliant beans (Entity/MDB) 
along with EJB1.1 beans in the same ejb-jar file.

I would appreciate a ray of hope !

Thanks & Regards
Vijay Pawar

Maybe a bug

2003-09-04 Thread Francisco Vides Fernandez


Hi all

I'm experimenting a problem with Struts that is driving me nuts. 

I have a form, with some text fields, and a file field.  Having a file
field, form enctype must be multipart. When I submit the form, I have
constated that I receive a String with chars corresponding to
iso8859-1 encoding (tilde, acute, etc) corrupted.

If I strip the file field and the multipart enctype, then everything
works fine. I've searched the bug database, and seen that the Bug
number 14404
(http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14404), is similar,
but I think it's not the same because I'm already using iso8859-1 as
encoding, and still have problems.

I'm using struts 1.1 with tomcat 4.0.6 and 4.1.27 on a red hat 9.0
linux.

Can someone tell me what's happening here?

Thanks in advance

The JavaDoc for DynaActionForm, btw, is very useful.

RE: multi-form page validation problem (client side)

Maybe I didn't make myself clear. This is not about the static code, but
about the dynamic code. If you read my original posting, than you will

However my mail prog removed the line brakes and therefore this wasn't

My problem is, that all the dynamic functions overwrite each other: 
mask(), maxlength(), ... are dynamic parts of the JavaScript, since the
ApplicationProperty labels are generated in there e.g.:
function maxlength () {
 this.aa = new Array("businessName", "BusinessName shouldn't be
longer than 50 characters.", new Function ("varName",
"this.maxlength='50';  return this[varName];"));
 this.ab = new Array("surname", "Other Text", new Function

Which is just another reason why you shouldn't depend on the browser for 
caching/control-flow.

Caching was designed to allow low-bandwidth end-users to take advantage of 
the fact that static pages don't change.

In a struts application, by definition, most pages are dynamically 
generated.   All requests SHOULD be sent back to the server, even those 
where the user has backtracked.

It's up to your application to determine what to do with that backtracking.  
 If you allow it, then you build your application in such a way as to allow 
a reloaded page to display something meaningful.

If you don't allow it, then you provide back a relevent page.  Perhaps this 
is a page that says something like "Don't try to backtrack -- we don't 
allow/support it" with a link to the last valid page displayed by the user.

In any case, it's a server-side responsibility in a dynamic web application 
to handle backtracking correctly.   There's too many variations on browsers 
out there to let the client handle it, especially when those variations were 
never originally designed to support dynamic-content pages.

Obviously, this is somewhat a matter of "Opinion" and "Preference", but so 
is using MVC over the so-called Model 1 approach.

In my opinion (in the short period of time I've been using Struts), 
backtracking strategy management isn't easily accomplished in Struts.  In 
WebObjects, there's a page-state-caching mechanism to deal with this kind of 
problem, and I suspect before I get too far along, I'll end up porting it 
over in some form to get my production application working under Struts.

> A question about your Sony VCR: does it allow you to continue from the

Actually, it does.  I suspect that the Sony BeepGenerator Action performs a 
ForwardAction to PlayNextFrame Action :-)

Re: multi-form page validation problem (client side)

2003-09-04 Thread Thomas Cornet

The html:javascript tag has a parameter named 'statisJavascript' which says 
if Struts has to render all static code (i.e. the validations functions). 
So, if you have several form in a page, you should write something like this :




...
Thus, validation functions will appear only once.

Hi,

function validateFrm_ccd_crn_Filter(form) {  [...]   }

function validateFrm_ccd_pol_Filter(form) {[...]   }
function maxlength () {  this.aa = [...]}
function mask () {  this.aa = [...]}

The problem is, that the mask and maxlength methods overwrite each
other. Therefore the client side validation does work only for the last
form that is used on the page.
Anything that I should different than including:
dynamicJavascript="true" /> dynamicJavascript="true" /> 
dynamicJavascript="true" /> dynamicJavascript="true" /> on the JSP page? 
The server side validation works fine btw. Any help highly appreciated.

RE: Struts form validation of radio buttons and checkboxes

As Hill said it is not the issue with the struts but with the HTML. SO i don't think 
it has to do anything with the version of struts you are using.

type is boolean ( primitive)..  not Boolean.

How to display an active GIF image after page submit

2003-09-04 Thread Julio . Font


This is a newbee question, sorry. I searched the archives but couldn't find
an answer.

Use case
User enters data on a form, selects a file to upload to the server and
clicks the Submit button.
While the file is uploading and the data is stored to the database display
an image (gif) until the submission is completed and the 'File uploaded
successfully page' is displayed.

How using struts can I display an active GIF on the browser while the file
is uploading?
The gif can be on the same page or on a new window as long as I can close
the new window when the submission completes.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Julio

RE: Struts form validation of radio buttons and checkboxes


don't understand why I want to reset the checkboxes to their unticked value.


Im in a hurry to get home (taxi fare doubles after midnight!) so dont have
time to explain in detail, but if you check the javadocs for the reset()
method and search the mail list archive you should be able to find the info
you need :-) (This question is a regular one!)

Mind you, if your form is request scoped it would implicitly be 'reset' as
you are getting a new form instance each time. Hmm. Have you perchance set
the default value for the checkbox to be ticked or is this a session scoped
form?

No, I haven't implemented it yet. But I must plead ignorance here, because I
don't understand why I want to reset the checkboxes to their unticked value.
If I'm submitting the form essentially back to itself, what does the
unticked value do for me? Or am I missing something?

As for the radio buttons, making the first one already selected is my out
with that. I only included them in this discussion because they
fundamentally work in the same way as checkboxes (i.e. they don't send

I'm using the Sysdeo plugin and it works great for debugging.  All you
need to do is set a breakpoint in your Action and it should stop there
when you hit the page that calls the Action.  Make sure the plugin is
launching Tomcat in debug mode (I believe this is the default).  There's
not much more help I can give you without more details.

A question about your Sony VCR: does it allow you to continue from the
places where it get interrupted?

A similar question about your web application:
Assuming all pages are set to no-cached,
does it allow end users to continue the application flow after
the "Page has Expired ..." feedback?

I am interested in the answer to the second question and encourage
anyone to do a REAL experiment with your web application and find out
what is happening.

RE: Can we create a Action class object

2003-09-04 Thread Michael Ruppin

I find that this can still be a valid solution, even when business logic is entirely 
factored out of Actions.  For example, I have Form A and Form B, both of which nest 
Form C.  My Actions are all related to LookupDispatchActions.  Action A checks the 
request for Form A specific submissions, and then calls Action C to check for Form C 
specific submissions.  Similarly, Action B checks the request for Form B specific 
submissions, and then calls Action C to check for Form C specific submissions.  Since 
my business logic is well factored, I could have had Action A and Action B check all 
the same stuff in the request that Action C does, and then call all the same business 
logic that Action C does, but why?  Then, I would have to do the same in every Action 
processing a Form which nests Form C.  Action C always handles whatever Form C may 
sumbit on any form in which it is nested; I instantiate it, and execute it, and it's 
up to the "parent" Action to determine what to do with the returned
 forward.
 
I had been doing this with chaining, but we all know where that leads ;)

RE: Can we create a Action class object

The Action class normally has a reference to the ActionServlet that is set
by the ActionServlet or RequestProcessor (I forget which) when the object is
instantiated. If you are instantiating an Action instance yourself you will
want to set it, in case the code in the other action needs to get at the
servlet reference (or through it to get the ServletContext reference).

Action myAction = new MyAction();
myAction.setServlet( getServlet() );
myAction.execute(mapping, form, request, response);

Hmm. setServlet() is public in 1.1 final release, but Ive noticed in the

RE: Struts form validation of radio buttons and checkboxes

Have you implemented code in reset() to reset the checkbox to its unticked
value in the form yet?

Not sure why radio buttons would give you problems though.
They usually have one option selected which would get submitted.

I currently have Struts 1.1. Is the checkbox/radio update available in the
most current nightly build?
Also, should the form-property type be "boolean" or "java.lang.Boolean"
(case-sensitive of course)?

Does anyone know if what i am trying to do is possible as i keep getting

RE: Can we create a Action class object

Sure, just instantiate it and call its perform (execute in struts 1.1)
method, passing your mapping, for, request and response refs. Dont forget to
set the ActionServlet reference first!
(Of course it gets much more complicated if you dont want to give it the
same mapping and form as your calling action is using! :-( )


Like action-chaining the need to do this is however probably a good
indication that your actions have too much business logic in them (which
should be in business classes invoked by the actions) and you might want to
consider how you could improve your architecture a bit!

RE: Struts form validation of radio buttons and checkboxes

OI!
STOP ALL THAT SHOUTING!
ITS GIVING ME A HEADACHE.
(I know your terminal can do lower case - I can see it in your sample code!)

And while Ive got your attention, it is *not* "AN ERROR IN STRUTS" that the
checkbox is not submitted, it is a result of the html specifications (whose
writers probably came up with the idea after a few too many beers and
thought it would be a "bit of a laugh").

Browsers simply dont submit *anything* for an unticked checkbox and there
isnt anything that struts can do about it apart from provide a workaround in
the form of the reset() method. (Well actually I can think of one other
thing it could do but it involves JS and hidden fields and I rather doubt
the committers would approve.)

If you had bothered to read the javadoc for the reset() method of the
ActionForm class you would know this:

http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/api/index.html ">
Reset all bean properties to their default state. This method is called
before the properties are repopulated by the controller servlet. The default
implementation does nothing. Subclasses should override this method to reset
all bean properties to default values. This method is not the appropriate
place to initialize form values for an "update" type page (this should be
done in a setup Action). You mainly need to worry about setting checkbox
values to false; most of the time you can leave this method unimplemented

(Note the bit about checkboxes)

Thanks for the response, but I don't think the problem lies with the actual
validation that's happening.
I suspect that when a user submits the form page without a checkbox/radio
button checked, a blank variable is never sent to the form bean (i.e
http://www.url.com/servlet.do?checkboxvar=), it just doesn't send anything.
The form bean then sees it as as a nonexistent variable and returns a trace
stack error. Any other ideas?

RE: issue with the multi select

You need to submit the changes in the field contents to the server. I
presume when you talk about the form being 'refreshed' you actually mean
that it POSTs to some action which does some stuff and then you get
forwarded back to the same jsp again?

The web browser will only submit the values for the _selected_ items in the
respective  fields. As far as the browser is concerned there are two
seperate select fields, and the values that are selected are only the ones
that are highlighted! (We know of course that its conceptually one field
with one box being unselected stuff and the other box the selected stuff,
but the browser isnt so smart)

What you need therefore is to ensure that the values are selected
(highlighted) at submit time.
This will involve some fancy javascript coding to go and set the 'selected'
property on all the option elements in both boxes when the form is
submitted.

(Before going ahead and spending time writing javascript to do this you will
probably want to confirm that this actually is the issue by manually
highlighting all the values in both boxes in your page, and invoking the
submit. See how it gets handled and what gets submitted in the request)


I HAVE DECLARED 2 STRINGS FOR THESE 2 SELECT BOXES


Surely you mean a string array ( String[] ) for each of the 2 fields as they
will both be submitting multiple values?

  I have 2 multi select box( wth size 5)  and have  "ADD" and :remove"
button in a dyna action form. Basically you can select one or more from a
select box and add it to the second one using ADD buton adn remove the
selected using "REMOVE" button. I have some other actions also in the same
page.

issue:

   Add and REmove are working(in java script). but when he entire form is
refreched( when some other actions are executed), the select box is not
retaining the value.So basically "ADD" and"REMOVE" is not updating the form
values. I checked the valuew of the select boxes when the form is posted.
The values are not correct. ie it is not retaing my "ADD" and "REMOVE"
values..

IN STRUCTS_CONFIG, I HAVE DECLARED 2 STRINGS FOR THESE 2 SELECT BOXES

ADD
function add(value,to)
{ 
var newoption= new Option(value,value);
document.forms[0].s2.options[document.forms[0].s2.length]=newoption;

}
function remove(from) { 
for (var i=(from.options.length-1); i>=0; i--) { 
var o=from.options[i]; 
if (o.selected) { 
from.options[i] = null; 
   
} 
} 
from.selectedIndex = -1; 
} 

thank you
manoj

RE: Multiple web application support

Sounds more like a job for portlets.
Im not familiar with them myself , but Id suggest you might want to take a
look at JetSpeed (there are other portlet impls but I cant remember what
they are right now...)

Subject: Multiple web application support

I'm using struts framework for my application.
Currently it allows you to split a large application into smaller modules,
where each
module maintains its own set of configuration files. And it supports
switching from one
module to another.

My Requirement.

 The layout of the UI should be dictated by my ROOT application.
 My layout follows the usual convention, made of top, left [MENU], bottom
and center part.
 In the center part I'll have Tabs for each new sub application deployed.

 On clicking these TAB brings up that application. Only the center part gets
rendered by the
 sub-application, where as the layout remains intact.

 I'm looking at a way where I can deploy these sub applications like WAR
files in the
 servlet container and these gets linked to the main application.

 So, in future if I want to remove a sub application I just remove the
application respective war file and
 a place holder [URL pointing to this application] from my ROOT applications
page and vice-versa.

 It's something like providing a plug in feature for the application.

Q 1. Can we switch from one web application to another using
struts-framework? If it's possible, kindly
let me know the way to do it.?
Q 2. It'll be really great If I can get the answer for my above requirement.
How can we achieve it?
Any approach suggested will be helpful.

Thanks and Regards,
Ashutosh

you don't have to give  in the struts config , instead give 
global forwards.  then in your action put logic to forward to any global forwards..

Subject: RE: How to forward back to including page


Well, the problem is that I am including this fragment in *all* of my pages.  (The 
form allows the user
to login -- otherwise, the user is a "guest").
Basically, I want the "forward" of the action that processes the form to not be 
"hard-coded"
to a specific path but instead to the page that included it (actually to be more 
precise from the current URL).
Here is a visualization of what I want to do:


   importedForm.jsp --submit--> login.do 
--redirect-->ActionA.do
|
ActionA.do --forwards--> PageA.jsp


ActionB.do --forwards--> PageB.jsp
|
  importedForm.jsp --submit--> login.do --redirect-->ActionB.do

I'm a little confused, but when you submit the form the target should be an
action and couldnt you just do the processing within that action and if its
successful forward back to the page that includes the form?

RE: Struts form validation of radio buttons and checkboxes

YES YOU R RIGHT. WHEN THE CHECK BOX IS NOT CHECKED, THE FORM WILL NOT EVEN HAVE THAT 
ELEMENT PRESENT. THIS IS AN ERROR IN STRUTS. IN OUR APPLICATION WE WROTE A CODE WHICH 
CHECK FOR THIS ELEMENT AN IT IS IS NOT THERE THEN MADE IT "FALSE"

ALSO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE isCheckbox():return boolean  instead if getCheckbox():return 
String  in your action form.

Subject: Re: Struts form validation of radio buttons and checkboxes


Thanks for the response, but I don't think the problem lies with the actual
validation that's happening.
I suspect that when a user submits the form page without a checkbox/radio
button checked, a blank variable is never sent to the form bean (i.e
http://www.url.com/servlet.do?checkboxvar=), it just doesn't send anything.
The form bean then sees it as as a nonexistent variable and returns a trace
stack error. Any other ideas?
I will however update my struts package.
