Object mapping..

2003-10-07 Thread virupaksha

Dear All,

Can any one please tell me why we require object mapping with database in  model of 
MVC architecutre.
my doubt is, we can communicate with database by directly our bean..why we have to use 
 object mapping with OJB(Object Relational mapping) or whatever..i just want to know 
what is advantages by using object mapping over normal method..

waiting for ur valuable answers..

Re: error code 404

2003-10-07 Thread Peter Ondruska

I'm sorry I didn't pay attention. The error code Struts returns when action 
does not exist is not 404 (No Found) but it is 400 Bad Request. Now if I add 
appropriate error page for error code 400 everything works.

 On Struts 1.1 with Jetty 4.2.9 *.do is mapped to struts action servlet.
 Everything works fine except if requesting unknown action e.g.
 /thisActionDoesNotExistInStrutsConfig.do instead of web.xml defined
 error-page with code 404 I get container supplied code 404 general error
 page (as if no error page was defined in web.xml). Is this designed
 functionality in Struts or is it container (Jetty) bug?

Why object mapping? It is a design pattern that helps with separation of 
concerns in the database application.

Look up Data Access Object in google for more information.

ssl question

2003-10-07 Thread Stephane Grenier

Hello all.

I can't seem to find the cause of this particular problem. Perhaps someone can point 
me in the correct direction.

On my local box I'm using sslext with the url being the ip of the box. I have no 
problems going in and out of ssl. The problem has only risen since I moved to the 
production box with a domain instead of an ip.

The first issue is that when I do a submit on an ssl form, the return url removes the 
www from the address and thus my ssl certificate says there is an error The name on 
the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site. 

The second issue, if I leave the sslext:pageScheme secure=true / in the jsp, it 
seems to process forever (or until I get bored and stop the process). 

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Stephane

Re: ssl question

2003-10-07 Thread Stephane Grenier

As well, it appears that when sslext:pageScheme  is set to false, it acts
as any on the production box. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

Performance constraints

2003-10-07 Thread Rohit_Arora

Hello All,
  Can some one help me and tell me abt 

-- the performance constraints that come due to the use of struts framework.
-- the constraints that come due to the use of actionservlet. 

-- How does the action servlet take care of multiple requests for the same web 
application ?
 Is it that 
  -- multiple of instances of the actionservlet come into existence 
  or 
  -- some kind of multithreading is done in the actionservlet code
 
-- How the webserver takes care of multiple requests ?

Thanks in advance,

wrapping action invocations

2003-10-07 Thread Nathan Coast

Hi,

Apologies if this is a duplicate, I posted a few days ago but it doesn't seem to 
have made it to the list.

I'd like to introduce a layer between the action servlet and the action classes 
to perform generic processing - authorisation, error handling etc.

I have 2 solutions:

1) subclass the RequestProcessor with generic code in an overridden 
processActionPerform method.
2) provide an Action base class, generic code goes in a final implementation of 
the execute method which delegates to an abstract doExecute method.  Each 
subclass implements the doExecute method.

or is there some other way of achieving this?

Thanks
Nathan

-- the performance constraints that come due to the use of struts

-- the constraints that come due to the use of actionservlet.

I have hardly noticed nay perf loss on using struts. Naturally, every
framework has some overheads but you got to trade off with the maintence and
scalablity perspective and patternized arch.

-- How does the action servlet take care of multiple requests for
the same web application ?

There will be only 1 ActionServlet instance. Any request that's coming to
webserver will be forwarded to ActionServlet. ActionServlet tries to assign
one Action instance from the pool. If it's not there, the new Action
instance will be created and assigned to the request.

RE: Container-Managed Authentication login-config in web.xml vs . Specifying Paths in the struts-config.xml

2003-10-07 Thread Navjot Singh

you may wish to look upon JAAS if you have so many diff roles and user per
roles.

Anyway, struts lets you specify role atrribute (that takes comma sep values,
i guess)
for each action. If you can extend RequestProcess class and modify the
processRoles() method so you can redirect to any page if the roles are not
valid for that action. etc etc..

Struts,using decalrative roles, tried to make things easier in term sof less
programming efforts and easiness to manage roles . Rest i can't see much
diff. Any opinions?

 Specifying Paths in the struts-config.xml


 I use the Tomcat.  I configured the Tomcat JDBCRealm
 so that I can use programmic security testing, such
 as
 isUserInRole(), in my program.

 Because Tomcat JDBCRealm is form based, I inserted
 the
 login-config and its sub-elements in my web.xml
 file
 (see below).  As we know, the form-login-page and
 form-error-page are required.

 My question is that the container-managed
 authentication does not seem to be consistent with
 what we usually do in struts; e.g. we state the
 logical name and path for each .jsp page in the
 struts-config.xml file.

 What is the Struts convention in dealing with user
 authentication?  Should we specify the paths for the
 logon page and error page in the struts.config.xml
 or
 we should use the form-login-page and
 form-error-page in the web.xml file?

Subject: retrieving values from multiple=true select box

Hi,

I'm sure this has been resolved by a thousand ppl before me, but I'm unable
to find an answer to it. I did google, but I'm at a loss I'm afraid.

So here goes: I need to retrieve all selected values from a HTML select
object, that has multiple=true set.

Here's my form bean snippet:
===
private final class TheFormBean {
 private String[] circuitTypeIDs;

  public  void setCircuitTypeIDs(String[] circuitTypeIDs)
  {
  this.circuitTypeIDs = circuitTypeIDs;
  }

  public  String[] getCircuitTypeIDs() {
   return this.circuitTypeIDs;
  }
}

The JSP:
===
html:select name=CircuitForm property=circuitTypeIDs multiple=true
size=3 
html:options collection=CircuitTypes property=ID
labelProperty=name/ 
/html:select

I do set the collection 'CircuitTypes' in the request in the action class
that forwards to the JSP above. 
The form-bea 'CircuitForm' has been declared in struts-config.xml (and I do
understand I don't need to mention the name of that form in the JSP).

However, when it retrieves only the *first* selected value in the select
box. What am I missing?

Deeply stressed,

How can I name a submit button. I need a name for it, because I want to 
access it from Javascript. I render the submit button as follows:

html:submit styleClass=button value=send! onclick=closing=false; 
document.correctionForm.action='/advertentieoverzicht/store_correction.do';

This renders:

input type=submit value=send! onclick=closing=false; 
document.correctionForm.action='/advertentieoverzicht/store_correction.do'; 
class=button

But i need:

input name=sendButton type=submit value=send!

Re: workflow extension question

2003-10-07 Thread Matthias Bauer

Adam,

sorry that I obviously did not make myself clear enough. Look at the 
following definitions:

global-forwards:
workflowViolation_wiz1step1: violatedWizard1Step1
workflowViolation_wiz1step2: violatedWizard1Step2
displayWizard1Step1
primaryWorkflow: wiz1step1
newState: displayed
nextState: submitted
submitWizard1Step1
primaryWorkflow: wiz1step1
prevState: displayed
newState: submitted
forward=success:  displayWizard1Step2
displayWizard1Step2
secondaryWorkflow: wiz1step1
prevState: submitted
primaryWorkflow: wiz1step2
newState: displayed
nextState: submitted
submitWizard1Step2
primaryWorkflow: wiz1step2
prevState: displayed
newState: submitted
violatedWizard1Step1
type: ForwardNextStateViolationAction
forward=noNextStateViolation: displayWizard1Step1
violatedWizard1Step2
type: ForwardNextStateViolationAction
secondaryWorkflow: wiz1step1
endWorkflow: true
forward=noNextStateViolation: displayWizard1Step2
This is what can happen: If the user has just executed 
displayWizard1Step1 he can only execute submitWizard1Step1 without 
causing a workflow violation. If for instance he follows a link from the 
menu, the workflow wiz1step1 is executed, which causes the execution 
of action violatedWizard1Step1. Upon workflow violation of 
wiz1step1, this workflow is automatically cleaned up, so this action 
does not need to do any other cleanup work. The action class 
ForwardNextStateViolationAction forwards to the action the user has 
chosen from the menu after that.

Upon prevState violations, i. e. if the user executes 
submitWizard1Step1 without having executed displayWizard1Step1 
before, the action violatedWizard1Step1  causes a forward to 
displayWizard1Step1.

If a workflow violation of  wiz1step2 happens, the action 
violatedWizard1Step2 is executed, which also ends and cleans up the 
workflow wiz1step1. Except the mechansims are identical to workflow 
wiz1step1.

This should meet your requirements. Or am I still missing something?

Concerning your question whether this approach is better than the one to 
end all workflows: In many cases you do not want to end all workflows, 
but only these that belong to a certain process (in our example all 
workflows belonging to wizard1).

Please let me know, if there are still further questions.

the p2:w1 landing page would be a ForwardNextStateViolationAction
  the FordwardNextStateViolationAction has forwards:

  If a nextState violation was encountered it forwards to the path

Which would lead me back to the p2:w1 landing page ?   That confuses me.

Can you explain why this approach is better than just a i know i want

Forwards with parameters

2003-10-07 Thread Jason Meredith


Chaps

I have a link with some parameters that a user selects to update a specific
record, something like this -

action/names?action=PageEditparamOne=101paramTwo=BOBparamThree=Joe

When a user updates the record, I want them to be able to go back to that
record with those parameters (this will have changed because the field
would have been updated)

To return a basic forward would be something like -

return mapping.findForward(success);

which would map to another action or possibly a JSP page.

How do get the mapping to forward to that url with those parameters
(remember that the params would be dynamic depending on the record
selected)

Reusability of Popup Windows Exception

2003-10-07 Thread Frederic Dernbach

I'm trying to implement my first popup window. I'd like to implement a
search window for an entity (called signal in this case) that I can
reuse in different areas of my web application. This search window has
several criteria and one submit button in order to perform the database
lookup and propose a list of entities that the user can choose from the
one that interest him. 

Therefore, looking at the struts-layout popup example, I'm wondering if
I should use the struts-layout openpopup() and closepopup() primitives
since the popup window uses the caller's form.

I'm trying to have another approach (the begginer's one) by opening a
JSP that has it's own form and own struts action (modular approach).
Having a dedicated form for the search popup window, I do not tie the
caller's form to some search properties which objective is to specify
independent search criteria. Also I do not what to implement submit
actions of the search window (database lookup) within the callers submit
action class.

So, I implemented in the caller's JSP the following script :

script type=text/javascript
function openSearchSignalWindow()
{
searchWindow = window.open ('/search/searchSignal.jsp','Search Signal',
width=400, height=400); 
searchWindow.location.href = '/search/searchSignal.jsp';
if (searchWindow.opener == null) searchWindow.opener = self;
}
/script 

The script that opens '/search/searchSignal.jsp' (the search windows) is
being called within the caller's JSP with the following tag (Strtus
Layout tag equivalent to html:submit):
layout:submit  reqCode=searchSignal
onclick=openSearchSignalWindow() 
bean:message key=rubis.common.search /
/layout:submit

The 'searchSignal.jsp' JSP has a form (SearchSignalForm) different from
the caller's one. Extract from the searchSignal.jsp and
struts-config.xml files:

*** searchSignal.jsp (Struts-Layout tag equivalent to html:form) :
layout:formalign=center action=/SubmitSearchSignal.do
reqCode=search styleClass=FORM
width=80%
*** struts-config.xml
form-bean
name=searchSignalForm
type=com.rubis.web.system.form.SearchSignalForm/

action path=/SubmitSearchSignal
type=com.rubis.web.system.action.SubmitSearchSignalAction
scope=request
name=searchSignalForm
attribute=searchSignalForm
validate=false
forward name=search  path=/search/searchSignal.jsp /
/action

The action SubmitSearchSignal is supposed to perform the database
lookup.

Here is the problem. When I run this, the popup window does not show up
and I get an exception from Struts :

12:57:26,123 ERROR [RequestUtils] Error creating form bean of class

Wizard with a Twist

2003-10-07 Thread Bob Lee

All,

I have requirements do develop a wizard like application where you can 
have multiple questions (up to 3) on a single page.

When there are multiple questions, the first appears, you select an 
answer, and the next one appears. If you change the answer to a 
previous question, all of the succeeding answers are reset and you have 
re-answer the questions.

What the next question is bears on the answers to the previous 
questions (or some other factors). I've deemed it okay to go back to 
the server each time.

There's also a requirement to do a bread crumb trail, but it will need 
to go back pages of questions (not one question at a time). Also, going 
forward, if questions have been answered and you don't alter the 
answers, you should be able to go forward page by page as well.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to break this down (i.e. how many 
JSPs, actions, and forms to use, what scope to use for the forms, 
etc.). Key factors for maintainability will be the naming schemes (so 
you can easily follow and manipulate the flow) and the ability to move 
questions around without impacting other questions too much or making 
changes in too many places. Any tips or suggestions?

Note: I started down a more generic route where I was going to build a 
tool to manage the flow, but there's so many weird requirements (things 
specific to certain questions, etc.) that I decided it would be easier 
to just start out simple for this iteration.

Thanks,
Bob
P.S. I also have an option to use Blue Martini. Anyone have experience 
with this? Would it help me solve this problem more easily than just 
coding it with Struts?

DynaValidatorForm

When you're using DynaValidatorForm and the page has two buttons
(e.g. Commit and Cancel), how do you not validate if the user
hits the Cancel button (which on my page, also submits, but the
action checks the value of the submit button)?
Do I have to write a Form subclass to do this?  Can you have a
hand-coded Form subclass and use the Validator rules as well?

If your buttons have values set then you can test to see which button 
value was submitted. Even better though with struts you can use the 
built-in cancel button without needing to do that. html:cancel/ and 
then check action.isCancelled(request)

But those would be done in the action class, right?  I'm wondering
if this can be done using a DynaValidatorForm -- the Validator is
tossing me back to the input page before the action is invoked.

Re: DynaValidatorForm

2003-10-07 Thread Frederic Dernbach

Glenn,

- Use a descendant of DispatchAction for your form's action,
- Have two separate methods in the action class for your two buttons
(one for 'commit' and one for 'cancel').
- In the struts-config.xml file, specify attribute 'validate' to 'false'
for your form's action.The form validation wont't happen automatically
this way.
- In the method for the 'commit' button, call explicitely 'validate' on
your form. But not in the method associated to the cancel button.

Hope this helps.

Re: workflow extension question

2003-10-07 Thread Adam L

Matthias:

   Thank you for the clearer explanation.

   If I understand this now, if I change all my current workflow violation
forwards to be of type ForwardNextStateViolationAction (they are all
currently just plain actions with a forward, no type specified), then the
existing workflow will work as originally designed, keeping the flow in
process, with both prev and next violations triggering and performing as
appropriate to this workflow, but an external workflow (launched from
another menu option) will be allowed to start if the user so chooses,
without being forced back into their first workflow.

  and the moral of the story is:
 a truly modal workflow process should have violations defined as:

 action path=/wkfAddNewInfoViolation
forward=/content/displaySelectionScreen.jspa /

 while a workflow process that can be interrupted by other workflows
will have violations defined as:

 action path=/wkfAddNewInfoViolation
type=ForwardNextStateViolationAction
   forward name=noNextStateViolation
path=/content/displaySelectionScreen.jspa /
!-- external forward (external process selected) is implicit --
   /action


 I think that indeed solves my problem.   Now  I'm trying to see how I can
use this for cases where an authentication fails, for instance a user is
required to be logged in first:
set-property property=authClass
value=com.foo.workflow.authentication.LoggedInAuthentication /
   forward name=authenticationException path=/login.do /

  How would I chain them to the login (or whichever) process, and then bring
them back to the step they were trying to perform prior?   I'm currently
seeing this as having to declare several instances of the login process as
actions, some rigged to the main menu login, others rigged from each
workflow that requires this authentication.   This seems like a lot of
extraneous work, and also requires this new subflow to be defined for every
workflow where this authentication is utilized.  That, or wrap the process
in chain of Actions that pass a token along that somehow says when you're
done with this entire flow, come back to this location.   I'm going to have
to ponder on this.   Do you have any thoughts on how this could easily be
achieved using your framework?

  Thank you again for all your help and thought!

Subject: Re: workflow extension question


 Adam,

 sorry that I obviously did not make myself clear enough. Look at the
 following definitions:

 global-forwards:
 workflowViolation_wiz1step1: violatedWizard1Step1
 workflowViolation_wiz1step2: violatedWizard1Step2

 displayWizard1Step1
 primaryWorkflow: wiz1step1
 newState: displayed
 nextState: submitted

 submitWizard1Step1
 primaryWorkflow: wiz1step1
 prevState: displayed
 newState: submitted
 forward=success:  displayWizard1Step2

 displayWizard1Step2
 secondaryWorkflow: wiz1step1
 prevState: submitted
 primaryWorkflow: wiz1step2
 newState: displayed
 nextState: submitted

 submitWizard1Step2
 primaryWorkflow: wiz1step2
 prevState: displayed
 newState: submitted

 violatedWizard1Step1
 type: ForwardNextStateViolationAction
 forward=noNextStateViolation: displayWizard1Step1

 violatedWizard1Step2
 type: ForwardNextStateViolationAction
 secondaryWorkflow: wiz1step1
 endWorkflow: true
 forward=noNextStateViolation: displayWizard1Step2

 This is what can happen: If the user has just executed
 displayWizard1Step1 he can only execute submitWizard1Step1 without
 causing a workflow violation. If for instance he follows a link from the
 menu, the workflow wiz1step1 is executed, which causes the execution
 of action violatedWizard1Step1. Upon workflow violation of
 wiz1step1, this workflow is automatically cleaned up, so this action
 does not need to do any other cleanup work. The action class
 ForwardNextStateViolationAction forwards to the action the user has
 chosen from the menu after that.

 Upon prevState violations, i. e. if the user executes
 submitWizard1Step1 without having executed displayWizard1Step1
 before, the action violatedWizard1Step1  causes a forward to
 displayWizard1Step1.

 If a workflow violation of  wiz1step2 happens, the action
 violatedWizard1Step2 is executed, which also ends and cleans up the
 workflow wiz1step1. Except the mechansims are identical to workflow
 wiz1step1.

 This should meet your requirements. Or am I still missing something?

 Concerning your question whether this approach is better than the one to
 end all workflows: In many cases you do not want to end all workflows,
 but only these that belong to a certain process (in our example all
 workflows belonging to wizard1).

 Please let me know, if there are still further questions.

For what it's worth, check out the workflow extension,
http://www.livinglogic.de/Struts
   It takes a bit of tinkering with to fully understand and appreciate its
power (check the archives for a very recent dialog between myself and its
designer, Matthias Bauer).  It's very simple in concept and design, but it's
thus far been able to handle almost every need I have for workflow
management.

 To put it very simply, you end up coding each component of your process as
a puzzle piece.  You then end up stringing them together with appropriate
actions and forwards to create your workflow process.   Component re-use has
finally been realized for me in my workflows!

xml objects for forms and persistence

2003-10-07 Thread MBrewer

I will be working on porting a company framework (and hopefully open source
it) from ASP/VB (yack!) to Java. The idea of the framework is quite simple.
It is a framework for buiding administration screens like update/search
edit user but it has some interesting features :

The Business objects a described in xml ie :

entity
nameuser/name
tableusr/table
attributes
namefirstname/name
label
EN
labelFirst Name/label
/EN
.
/attributes

attributegroups
attributegroup
nameLabel/name
attributes
attributefirstname/attribute
attributesurname/attribute
/attributes
/attributegroup
attributegroup
nameEdit/name
attributes
attributefirstname/attribute
attributesurname/attribute

/attributes
/attributegroup
etc..
/entity


The Business Object xml descriptor has enough information for display it as
well as updating it. AttributesGroups allow for list views and edit views
of the object.

Another component of the framework is the PageFlows that are made up of
Actions that use these Business Objects to get the info for these views
like Edit User. Most of the time you do not need to write code at all, we
have also written a editor for the Business Objects and the Pages Flows.


So at the end of the day the html of genernated by the framework from the
xml descriptor and the persistence is also done from there. So doing
administration screens are very quick. ie : days instead of weeks. The some
code can be used for web front ends as well as guis.

I was wondering it there is anything else out there like this or are there
ways on doing some intergration of this with Struta and Hibernate and
Cocoon?

At the end the benefits are amazing taking minutes rather than hours to get
stuff done
I really mean radically, to do a search/edit/delete etc.. for a object
takes minutes. And being frontend independent means that you can write web
as well as swing stuff.

set a relative path instead of absolute for a jsp file

2003-10-07 Thread David Thielen

Hi;

I have a situation where I need to have the jsp files with my html files. (I have just 
2 of them and they use the same templates as the 100+ html files and they are a simple 
part of the website.) My J2EE server is configured to look in both the server's web 
application directory and c:/Inetpub/wwwroot so that part works ok.

Here's the problem:
IIS looks at the http request header to determine which website to go to. When that is 
set (which it is 99% of the time), it goes to c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/windwardreports and 
gets the file and everything works fine.

But if there is no header info, then it goes to c:/Inetpub/wwwroot and now the jsp 
file is /windwardreports/demo.jsp instead of /demo.jsp. And now the J2EE server can't 
find it because struts is looking for /demo.jsp.

Is there a way in struts to tell it to look for a relative path? In other words, if I 
start with windwardreports/form.jsp, then go to windwardreports/demo.jsp?

thanks - dave

form object names, population and processing

2003-10-07 Thread Takis Diakoumis

hi

i'm using an ActionForm to populate a form and update (or add new) data. i
have a bean object with set/get methods which i add to my extended
ActionForm class with setMyObject and getMyObject. 

i use the above to populate my form which works fine. when using a tag in a
form say for a text field like below:

html:text property=myObject.myValue

the correct value is populated within the form and all seems ok. the
problem i'm having is the generated html is as follows:

input type=text name=myObject.myValue value=whatever/

this makes it difficult to reference the above field when using javascript
for focusing, client-side validation and so forth since
document.formName.myObject.myValue.focus() for example will not work. the
only way it would work is if the field name was just the myValue portion.
This of course can be achieved by defining a variable using 

bean:define id=myBean name=formName property=myObject/

then just referencing the myBean and whatever field within that object in
the html:text tag. 

however, where struts will populate the field using the above method and
making all your fields accessible using client-side bits like javascript,
it does not quite work when processing the form as the extended ActionForm
will not process the myValue named field as this does not exist directly
within the ActionForm. (i hope this is making sense). 

the alternative would be to define all your set/get for your object in the
ActionForm which as far as i can see violates some of the mvc you're trying
to achieve as the ActionForm becomes the model making it difficult to
reference ejb objects and so forth. again, you could replicate the accessor
methods in the ActionForm, but this too appears as a waste of time and
effort - rewriting an object completely.

basically is there any work-around to the above to achieve field names that
client-side code can work with easily whilst still having the ActionForm do
the population and processing work for you?

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Takis

 moved to the production box with a domain instead of an ip.

 The first issue is that when I do a submit on an ssl form, the return url
 removes the www from the address and thus my ssl certificate says there
is
 an error The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not
match
 the name of the site.

 The second issue, if I leave the sslext:pageScheme secure=true / in
the
 jsp, it seems to process forever (or until I get bored and stop the
 process).

 Any help would be appreciated.
 Thank you,
 Stephane

how to keep developing time as short a possible?

2003-10-07 Thread harm

Hi all,

I'm a J2EE developer. I have made a few projects using Struts. And I have 
to say I like the Struts framework very much. 
I'm using XDoclet to generate struts-config.xml (to speed up development).

The only thing I'm not happy about is the following:

1. I change something in my JSP.
2. Run Ant (create a war and ear).
3. Deploy the ear - file.
4. See the results in the browser. (JSP has to get compiled).

Unfortunatly these four steps take at least (in my case) 3 minutes for 
each run. 

Is there some way to check my JSP before compiling it? Or some other way 
to keep the time as short as possible?

Many thanks,

Depeneding on your application server, you can deploy your application in
expanded mode, i.e., without any need to pack it into an ear. So, you are
able to change the file and test it immediately.

Re: how to keep developing time as short a possible?

2003-10-07 Thread Max Cooper

IntelliJ IDEA is capable checking your JSPs at the end of a build. It
takes a long time, though, which I suspect means that it is compiling them
all to .java and then to .class files. I don't know if it is possible to use
these compiled versions or not, but it can be useful as a check. It does not
appear to be possible to compile one JSP at a time, but the editor is
constantly checking the JSP code for you in the background, so I am not sure
if a separate compile step would have any value. The editor will check for
imports, undeclared variables, taglib usage, etc. It even seems to
understand if you declare a variable with bean:define
id=myNewLocalVariable/, for instance. Good stuff.

I recommend setting up your build so that you can deploy an expanded
version of your app (ear or war) during development. We used to have a /web
directory that we both stored all our JSPs in and used as an output
directory for .class files (under WEB-INF/classes). We used to deploy the
app (a .war, but expanded) from that directory. That would allow you to edit
a JSP and just reload the page in the browser to see the changes.

But that limits some of the things you can do in a build (static templating,
trimming the fat from JSPs, etc.), and co-mingles source and build output
files to some extent (which complicates the 'clean' target). Now we have ant
copy our /web directory to the build output directory (specifically
'/build/web' for our project). Now we deploy the app from the build output
directory for development work (and build the packaged version from the
directory later in the build, if you run the 'dist' target). Ant is very
fast about copying (only copies changed files, and even seems to be darn
fast on a clean build), and as long as you separate out the target that
copies the files, you can run it individually when you change a JSP ('ant
copy-web' or something like that). Running the copy-web target on my project
takes about 2-4 seconds if you only changed a file or two.

I use Eclipse + Tomcat + the Sysdeo Eclipse Tomcat Launcher plugin and just 
run it directly in the IDE, effectively skipping steps 2 and 3.

http://www.sysdeo.com/eclipse/tomcatPlugin.html

I've since switched over from JSP to Velocity, but I don't remember even 
needing to restart the tomcat instance or having to recompile to change jsp 
code.  I know that I don't need to do anything for Velocity pages other than 
edit the vm file and reload the page in the browser.  Works as good as 
WebObjects in that respect :)

Form posting nulls

2003-10-07 Thread eric

A couple of our clients that are accessing our pages are posting nulls in their form 
submissions, these are struts pages.  
It is only happening with Internet Explorer 6.0 (not 5.5) and both clients are behind 
Cisco PIX firewalls.  

Has anyone encountered problems like this?
One client is using Squid web-proxy and the other is using Vericept for content 
reporting.  
I have setup squid here as a proxy with basic settings and it doesn't seem to be the 
problem, 
I am afraid it is a firewall-struts problem and donot know where to look for a 
solution.

The interesting thing is non-struts forms post data fine.  
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks, Adam, but the flow is not my main problem. Let me use a more 
detailed example:

The first page has one question:

QA

The user clicks on an answer and another question appears:

QA
QB
Again:

QA
QB
QC
The user goes back and changes the answer to the first question:

QA
QD
As you can see, it has a lot of potential for duplication. Do I model 
each of these views with a different JSP? It would make for a lot of 
simple JSPs, but the naming scheme and Struts config would quickly blow 
up. I could do one JSP, but after some time, this could easily evolve 
into one huge JSP for the entire flow (ick!).

There's also tracking the answers. i.e., it would be ideal to use the 
same form for each page, so the answer to QA always stays in sync.

Any tips?

All,

I have requirements do develop a wizard like application where you can
have multiple questions (up to 3) on a single page.
When there are multiple questions, the first appears, you select an
answer, and the next one appears. If you change the answer to a
previous question, all of the succeeding answers are reset and you have
re-answer the questions.
What the next question is bears on the answers to the previous
questions (or some other factors). I've deemed it okay to go back to
the server each time.
There's also a requirement to do a bread crumb trail, but it will need
to go back pages of questions (not one question at a time). Also, going
forward, if questions have been answered and you don't alter the
answers, you should be able to go forward page by page as well.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to break this down (i.e. how many
JSPs, actions, and forms to use, what scope to use for the forms,
etc.). Key factors for maintainability will be the naming schemes (so
you can easily follow and manipulate the flow) and the ability to move
questions around without impacting other questions too much or making
changes in too many places. Any tips or suggestions?
Note: I started down a more generic route where I was going to build a
tool to manage the flow, but there's so many weird requirements (things
specific to certain questions, etc.) that I decided it would be easier
to just start out simple for this iteration.
Thanks,

P.S. I also have an option to use Blue Martini. Anyone have experience
with this? Would it help me solve this problem more easily than just

Re: Wizard with a Twist

2003-10-07 Thread Adam Levine

What about shell pages?   each page will then include the appropriate page 
fragement as determined by your business logic (they answered A to 
question 2, which means we need to include pageFrag3 for the next page).

  Combine that with a .properties file that may determine your combinations 
(question 1, answer B needs a subsequent page frag 4).  That route may end 
up being flexible enough so that once you get your base logic in place, you 
can go crazy with the questions, answers and related page fragments.

 You can verify this with a tool like curl or wget, which will allow you to

 You could even do it with telnet.

  Subject: ssl question
 
 
  Hello all.
 
  I can't seem to find the cause of this particular problem. Perhaps
someone
  can point me in the correct direction.
 
  On my local box I'm using sslext with the url being the ip of the box. I
  have no problems going in and out of ssl. The problem has only risen sin
ce
 I
  moved to the production box with a domain instead of an ip.
 
  The first issue is that when I do a submit on an ssl form, the return
url
  removes the www from the address and thus my ssl certificate says
there
 is
  an error The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not
 match
  the name of the site.
 
  The second issue, if I leave the sslext:pageScheme secure=true / in
 the
  jsp, it seems to process forever (or until I get bored and stop the
  process).
 
  Any help would be appreciated.
  Thank you,
  Stephane

The author comes to the surprising conclusion that any particular
technology isn't suited for every application!

There seems to be an increasing number of internet postings designed to
garner a lot of attention without actually saying anything worth reading. 
They generally attack some popular technology like Java, Struts, etc.
without having used it or making any valid points.

Re: Container-Managed Authentication login-config in web.xml vs . Specifying Paths in the struts-config.xml

2003-10-07 Thread Craig R. McClanahan

Caroline Jen wrote:

But, I do not want to use BASIC authentication.  I
have many different roles and hundreds of people per
role.  Users' name, role, etc. are stored in a
database.
How authentication is performed (BASIC, form-based, DIGEST, or SSL 
client certificates) and how users are stored (database, directory 
server, local XML file, ...) are two separate questions.  For most 
servers , any combination is possible.  With Tomcat, for example, you 
can configure JDBCRealm to point at your user and role definitions in a 
database, and then use those users with any of the authentication 
methods.  For more information, see:

   http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/realm-howto.html

The choice between BASIC and form-based authentication, then, can be 
based on user interface related concerns, rather than worrying about a 
database.

Subject: Container-Managed Authentication
login-config in web.xml vs.
Specifying Paths in the struts-config.xml
I use the Tomcat.  I configured the Tomcat JDBCRealm
so that I can use programmic security testing, such
as
isUserInRole(), in my program.
Because Tomcat JDBCRealm is form based, I inserted
the
login-config and its sub-elements in my web.xml
file
(see below).  As we know, the form-login-page and
form-error-page are required.
My question is that the container-managed
authentication does not seem to be consistent with
what we usually do in struts; e.g. we state the
logical name and path for each .jsp page in the
struts-config.xml file.  

What is the Struts convention in dealing with user
authentication?  Should we specify the paths for the
logon page and error page in the struts.config.xml
or
we should use the form-login-page and
form-error-page in the web.xml file?

RE: setting application context

2003-10-07 Thread Steve Raeburn

If you have a Servlet 2.3 compatible container (e.g. Tomcat 4.x or later)
you can implement a ServletContextListener which will be notified when your
context is started and gives you access to the ServletContext.

  ...
  import javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent;
  import javax.servlet.ServletContextListener;

  public class StartUpListener implements ServletContextListener {

public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent evt) {
MyBean bean = new MyBean();
evt.getServletContext().setAttribute(MyKey, bean);
}

public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent evt) {
// Whatever shutdown processing you need goes here.
}
  }

Listeners are configured in web.xml:
  listener
listener-classmyapp.StartUpListener/listener-class
  /listener


Another way that is Struts specific but also works with Servlet 2.2
containers is to implement a PlugIn.

  ...
  import org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet;
  import org.apache.struts.action.PlugIn;
  import org.apache.struts.config.ModuleConfig;

  public class MyPlugIn implements PlugIn {

public void init(ActionServlet servlet, ModuleConfig config)
throws ServletException {
MyBean bean = new MyBean();
servlet.getServletContext().setAttribute(MyKey, bean);
}

public void destroy() {
// Whatever shutdown processing you need goes here.
}
  }

A PlugIn is configured  at the end of your struts configuration file
(struts-config.xml) See the Struts example webapp for a demonstration of
plugins:

  ...
  plug-in className=myapp.MyPlugIn/


Finally, you could create a Servlet that runs automatically at start up and
set-up any ServletContext attributes in it's init() method.

My preference is to use a ServletContextListener if possible, or a PlugIn.

Steve

Well if they don't get what Struts provides over vanilla JSP, then they
never will. Discussing what Struts provides compared to other MVC frameworks
might be useful, but the vanilla JSP topic is surely dead and buried by
now.

I guess it's a sign of success when people who obviously know nothing about

Over the years, Struts has been simultaneously knocked for being too

complicated, ugly as sin and beautifully architected, ... 
considering that my original target was the 80% of users in the middle,

Re: form object names, population and processing

2003-10-07 Thread Takis Diakoumis

Thanks for the suggestion.

unfortunately the id attribute is not available in the struts form tag.

any other suggestions would be most appreciated.

Takis

It maybe possible for you to set the id of the html form element. 
Then you can use this in the JavaScript instead of the name.
I think the attribute styleId of text should set that (by the looks of the
description).

Hope this helps.

RE: [Article] SoftwareFashion (includes paragraph about Struts)

2003-10-07 Thread Steve Raeburn

Adam,
I assumed it was tongue-in-cheek ;-)

Greg,

I wasn't commenting on people who are trying to understand the MVC pattern
and Struts, but authors who claim to be experts in the field and who should
be *very* familiar with the Model1/Model2 debate and how Struts addresses
the problem. From that perspective, the discussion about *whether* to use an
MVC framework is old news. I think an article discussing the pros and cons
of the various approaches to MVC would have been more valuable. It was a
negative article that invited a negative response.

If you're still on that learning curve then I wouldn't expect you to
immediately understand the benefits of Struts and I'm sure you'll get plenty
of advice on this list.

Here's a few links that might help:

ActionForm Design Question

2003-10-07 Thread Ian Joyce

Hello,

I am having trouble wrapping my mind around with how I should design an ActionForm 
giving the following situation.

My form looks like this:

Child 1  [Select of all possible parents]
Child 2  [Select of all possible parents]
Child 3  [Select of all possible parents]
...

Each child can have exactly one parent.
Each child has a distinct id number.
Each parent has a distinct id number.
The number of children will vary as will the number of parents.

When the form is posted I need to be able to retrieve the child id and the 
associatated parent id.

Thanks for any advice...

using an attribute inside a tile

2003-10-07 Thread Sonam Belbase

Hi,

I have a layout contentFrameLayout.jsp:

html
head/head
body
tiles:useAttribute name=screenName scope=request/
tiles:insert attribute=header /
tiles:insert attribute=body /
tiles:insert attribute=footer /
/body
/html

In my tiles-def.xml, I assign values to these attributes:

definition name=content.default page=/jsp/layouts/contentFrameLayout.jsp
put name=screenName value=Introduction /
put name=header value=/jsp/common/header.jsp /
put name=body value=/jsp/common/introduction.jsp /
put name=footer value=/jsp/common/footer.jsp /
/definition

definition name=signin.default extends=content.default
put name=screenName value=Sign In /
put name=body value=/jsp/common/signin.jsp /
/definition

In struts-config, my action forwards to the  definition content.default on success.

I am trying to use the attribute screenName inside header.jsp
(which is a tile for contentFrameLayout.jsp) in the following manner:

TD WIDTH=300 BGCOLOR=#336699 CLASS=bodytextboldwhite
! -- value of screenName displayed here --
bean:write name=screenName /
/TD

I followed some guidelines in the following article:

http://www.developer.com/java/ent/article.php/10933_2192411_5

but the bean:write writes nothing to the screen (i.e the column comes up empty).
It looks like there might be a context problem since doing a bean:write in
the layout jsp works but not in the tile header.jsp. There are no error messages
at runtime.

Does anyone know how I can accomplish this? My main goal is to use the same
layout for every content page and have the option of dynamically displaying the 
screenName
each time the tile header.jsp is used.

Thanks,
SB

Dynamic form fields on ActionForm

2003-10-07 Thread Cornellious Mann

I am wondering what is the best approach to handle
dynamic form fields within an ActionForm.

I have a JSP page that will display quantity input
fields for a dynamic list of products. I don't know
how many products will be in the list until runtime.

How can I set up my ActionForm to handle the list in
input parameters?

Thanks for any help.

Re: Container-Managed Authentication login-config in web.xml vs . Specifying Paths in the struts-config.xml

2003-10-07 Thread Caroline Jen

People answer questions without reading my original
post.  Therefore, I must re-type my original question
again.

Before I posted my question, I had configured the
Tomcat JDBCRealm following the instructions at
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/realm-howto.html
so that I can do security testing programmically, such
as isUserInRole(), in my program.

If I use form based authentication, I insert the
login-config and its sub-elements in my web.xml file
(see below).  As we know, the form-login-page and
form-error-page are required.

My question is that the container-managed
authentication (we provide login page and error page
in the web.xml) does not seem to be consistent with
what we usually do in struts; e.g. we state the
logical name and path for each .jsp page in the
struts-config.xml file.  

What is the Struts convention in dealing with user
authentication?  Should we specify the paths for the
logon page and error page in the struts.config.xml or
we should use the form-login-page and
form-error-page in the web.xml file?

Thanks.

RE: Container-Managed Authentication login-config in web.xml vs . Specifying Paths in the struts-config.xml

2003-10-07 Thread Matt Raible

Don't put anything in struts-config, in web.xml, put:

login-config
auth-methodFORM/auth-method
form-login-config
form-login-page/login.jsp/form-login-page
form-error-page/login.jsp?error=true/form-error-page
/form-login-config
/login-config


You can use whatever code you like in login.jsp, here's mine as an example:

%@ include file=/common/taglibs.jsp%

tiles:insert definition=.login flush=true/

So you can see it uses Tiles - here's my .login definition:

!-- Login Page definition --
definition name=.login extends=baseLayout
put name=titleKey  value=login.title/
put name=headingKey value=login.heading/
put name=menu value=/menu.html/
put name=content value=/WEB-INF/pages/login.jsp/
/definition

Where /pages/login.jsp is:

%@ include file=/common/taglibs.jsp%

Re: using an attribute inside a tile

2003-10-07 Thread Frank Maritato

I just recently posted a question about this very problem. Attributes 
defined in tiles definitions are available only in the tiles scope. 
Therefore, you must redefine the attribute into the request scope if you 
want it available to your sub tiles.

So, in contentFrameLayout.jsp you add the line:
bean:define id=screenName name=screenName toScope=request /
And it should work for you.

It looks like there might be a context problem since doing a bean:write in

Tiles backward forwarding - how to?

2003-10-07 Thread Tamer Salama

Hello Everyone:

First Struts project ...

- A search Form inside a tile (jsp) (search.jsp).
- The tile (search.jsp) is used in many of the pages (tile
definitions/layouts).
- The form submits to a single Action class (SearchAction).

How would I make that Action (SearchAction) recognizes the originating
definition that was displayed at the time that form was submitted (i.e.:
it could know something about the submitting form/tile, but how about
the tile definition that was rendered at that time).

What I originally wanted to do is present the user with a Reset button
that would reset the form by forwarding to an Action that clears any
session attributes related to the (old) form (doesn't of course
necessarily be the same submit Action). Then after being done with
clearing those attributes, (here comes the tricky part) forward the
control back to the originating page (originating tile definition).

I haven't still dug into validation, but, I believe the ideas that you
would give me would similarly be used in forwarding/returning control to
the input page (definition) to display the error messages (the input
in my case is dynamic).

What I'm currently doing is that I provided a link to an Action that
forward the control to a default tile definition. The definition is used
to display a default search page (but not the originating layout). And I
agree! It's not a good solution.

Kindest regards

Tamer

Pass/Preserve request parameters after actionForward

2003-10-07 Thread Lee, Yau-Pang

This might be a dumb question, but I couldn't find any documentation on
this.

I have a page that submit a form to my action servlet and depending on what
they submitted, I redirect them differently via ActionForward,( E.g. return
pMapping.findForward(success); ) at the end of the execute() function,
pretty basic stuff.  However, I want to pass/preserve all the form values
submitted to the my action servlet to the resulting JSP pages.  Is there a
setting somewhere to do this or I have to add codes (via URL writing)
manually?

Tiles Tabs Layout

2003-10-07 Thread pondugud

Hi there:

I am using tiles 'tabs layout' and having the following question.

Question: How to display the result page with same tab being active and
with out BREAKING other tab links?

Explanation: Let me explain the problem.

a). Lets say I clicked on 'Tab B' and it displayed a form asking for some
input from user.
b). On submit, request will be sent to 'TestAction' class and it returns
the result page (say result.jsp).
c). I want to display result.jsp having the active tab (Tab B) still
highlighted.

Please look into the code snippets below.

1). I have a jsp file called 'main.jsp' and it has the following code:

  %@ taglib uri=/WEB-INF/tiles.tld prefix=tiles%
  tiles:insert definition=ltws.tabs.main flush=true /

  This file displays my web page with all tabs and content.

2). My tiles-defs.xml has the following code:

   definition name=ltws.tabs.main path=/layouts/tabsLayout.jsp 
put name=selectedIndex  value=0 /
put name=parameterName  value=selected /
putList name=tabList 
  item value=Tab A link=/content/a.jsp /
  item value=Tab B link=/content/b.jsp /
/putList
  /definition

  definition name=ltws.tabs.main.tabsResult extends=ltws.tabs.main 
  put name=selectedIndex  value=0 /
  put name=parameterName  value=selected /
  putList name=tabList 
item value=Tab A   link=/content/a.jsp /
item value=Tab B   link=/content/result.jsp /
/putList
  /definition

3). struts-config.xml code:
 action-mappings
   action
  path=/testTab
  type=com.company.ltws.action.TestTabAction
  scope=request
  name=testTabForm
  forward name=Success path=ltws.tabs.main.tabsResult/
  /action
/action-mappings

4). tabsLayout.jsp code snippet:

I am finding out which tab was highlighted using the following code.

int selectedIndex = 0;

String requestLastSelectedIndex = request.getParameter(parameterName);
String sessionLastSelectedIndex
= (String)session.getAttribute(parameterName);

if((requestLastSelectedIndex==null) 
   (sessionLastSelectedIndex==null))
{
  selectedIndex = 0;
}
else if(requestLastSelectedIndex==null)
{
  selectedIndex = Integer.parseInt(sessionLastSelectedIndex);
}
else
{
  selectedIndex = Integer.parseInt(requestLastSelectedIndex);
  session.setAttribute(parameterName, requestLastSelectedIndex);
}


When I put the mouse on the tabs they are pointing to
'http://localhost:/iltws/content/main.jsp?selected=X' (X=1,2,3...).

If I click on 'Tab B' and submit the form, it is displaying the result page
with the same tab (Tab B) active (no problem).

Now if I try to click on any other tab, it is pointing to
'http://localhost:/iltws/layouts/tabsLayout.jsp?selected=1' and the
following error occurs.

javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Error - tag useAttribute : no tiles context
found.

If you look at the url, it is pointing to tabsLayout.jsp instead of
main.jsp.

I am sure, I am doing something wrong and I really appreciate if you can
help me with a better approach or solution.

I do not think I am doing it right in 'tiles-defs.xml' file.

Please let me know, if you need any more clarification.

Waiting for your replies...

Thanks  Regards,
Prasad.

Problem with dynamically generated anchors

2003-10-07 Thread Galabova, Hristina (HBO)

I have a jsp that uses the iterator tag to iterate over the elements of a
collection of beans that is placed in request scope by an Action class.
The jsp code looks something like this:

 logic:iterate id=promoItem name=%= ProjectConstants.PROJECT_BEAN %
property=promos scope=request type=com.hbo.cssaw.web.promo.PromoBean
a name=%=promoItem.getPromoKey()% /a
!-- relevant PromoBean data--
 /logic:iterate

In the above iteration I am also defining dynamically an anchor, to which I
want to scroll down to.
I do this as follows:

body onLoad=location.hash='%=request.getAttribute(anchor)%';

The Action class that forwards to the page sets an attribute with a name
anchor in request scope. The attribute's value is equal to one of the
anchors that are generated in the above iteration. 

Unfortunately, this does not work. I always get to the top of the page, and
not to the anchor.

However, if I set a static anchor at the bottom of the page (outside the
iterator), and follow the same process as above, I am able to get to the
bottom of the page.
It seems that the dynamically generated anchors are not visible at all to
the browser. Yes, I can see them when I view the source of the generated
page.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to resolve it?


Thanks!

Page flow dependence on html:error(s)/

2003-10-07 Thread Sasha Borodin

A common scenario I've encountered is that some check made in an action's
execute() method correlates to what needs to be displayed in the view.

But how can I control page flow (i.e. this section of page gets displayed,
this one doesn't) based on the accumulated ActionError's?

Right now, I check-for/add error once in the action's execute(), then use
html:error/ tag to display error (if any), then perform the same check
AGAIN via c:if to determine the page flow.

Just wondering if there's a good way to use the ActionErrors object for this
purpose.

Thanks for your help.

RE: Pass/Preserve request parameters after actionForward

2003-10-07 Thread Tamer Salama

Hello Lee:

Disclaimer: I'm in my first struts project ;-)

The ActionForm is designed to carry the input parameters to your Action
class, and not beyond that.

So, you can create a value bean that would get populated from your
ActionForm bean. Then, you can pass that value bean by placing it in
request or session scopes.
Don't forget to set attribute redirect to false in your action
mappings (struts config file).

Regards,

Tamer

  success.
 
  I am trying to use the attribute screenName inside header.jsp
  (which is a tile for contentFrameLayout.jsp) in the following manner:
 
  TD WIDTH=300 BGCOLOR=#336699 CLASS=bodytextboldwhite
  ! -- value of screenName displayed here --
  bean:write name=screenName /
  /TD
 
  I followed some guidelines in the following article:
 
  http://www.developer.com/java/ent/article.php/10933_2192411_5
 
  but the bean:write writes nothing to the screen (i.e the column comes up empty).
  It looks like there might be a context problem since doing a bean:write in
  the layout jsp works but not in the tile header.jsp. There are no error messages
  at runtime.
 
  Does anyone know how I can accomplish this? My main goal is to use the same
  layout for every content page and have the option of dynamically displaying the 
  screenName
  each time the tile header.jsp is used.
 
  Thanks,
  SB

Hello Lee:

Disclaimer: I'm in my first struts project ;-)

The ActionForm is designed to carry the input parameters to your Action
class, and not beyond that.

So, you can create a value bean that would get populated from your
ActionForm bean. Then, you can pass that value bean by placing it in
request or session scopes.
Don't forget to set attribute redirect to false in your action
mappings (struts config file).

Regards,

Tamer

 Subject: Pass/Preserve request parameters after actionForward

 This might be a dumb question, but I couldn't find any 
 documentation on this.

 I have a page that submit a form to my action servlet and 
 depending on what they submitted, I redirect them differently 
 via ActionForward,( E.g. return 
 pMapping.findForward(success); ) at the end of the 
 execute() function, pretty basic stuff.  However, I want to 
 pass/preserve all the form values submitted to the my action 
 servlet to the resulting JSP pages.  Is there a setting 
 somewhere to do this or I have to add codes (via URL writing) 
 manually?

Frank,

I tried this and  the bean:write in header.jsp still does not write anything to the 
screen:

tiles-def.xml:
definition name=content.default page=/jsp/layouts/contentFrameLayout.jsp
 put name=header value=/jsp/common/header.jsp /
 put name=screenName value=Introduction  /
 /definition

contentFrameLayout.jsp:
tiles:useAttribute name=screenName /
bean:define id=label name=screenName toScope=request /
tiles:insert attribute=begin /

header.jsp:
bean:define name=label scope=request ignore=true/
bean:write name=label /

I also tried

header.jsp:
bean:define name=label scope=request ignore=true/
%=label%

but this results in the error: /ms/user/s/sonam/libra/aeui/0.2/src/ServletExec
Data/default/aeui/pagecompile/_jsp/_common/_beginContent_xjsp.java:43: Undefined 
variable: label

out.print( String.valueOf(  label  ) );

Don't know what I am doing wrong..

 I just recently posted a question about this very problem. Attributes
 defined in tiles definitions are available only in the tiles scope.
 Therefore, you must redefine the attribute into the request scope if you
 want it available to your sub tiles.

 So, in contentFrameLayout.jsp you add the line:
 bean:define id=screenName name=screenName toScope=request /

 And it should work for you.

Re: Dynamic form fields on ActionForm

2003-10-07 Thread Adam Hardy

Hi Cornellious,
it depends whether you know beforehand what the full set of possible 
fields could be, or whether the fields themselves are not limited in 
name or type.

If the former, then it would be easy to make a form that defined them 
all, and to use logic tags to display the needed fields or not in JSP.

Tiles Tag: Submit a Body Tile from Header Tile..

2003-10-07 Thread Ritvik

Hi There,

We are using tiles for our JSP layout and have following tile components
LeftNavigation.jsp, Header.jsp, body.jsp and footer.jsp. There are
series of buttons on LeftNavigation.jsp, which must submit\post any of
body.jsp HTML forms..

Any suggestions on how to submit a jsp from another i.e
LeftNavigation.jsp? Is Javascript is an option?

Ritvik

Re: HELP: strutsTestCase with ant now sending too much stacktrace!

Those aren't stack traces, they're Digester output. It's notorious for

We do like to enforce a code, Mark. It's one of the things that, over

Again, please don't attack people this way. If you care to rebut

Re: Dynamic form fields on ActionForm

2003-10-07 Thread Mark Lowe

Indexed form property is what you want.. I'll avoid any clever 
explanations, grandiose meta language or to try and sell you a book.. 
And give you an example..

form-bean name=productForm
form-property name=product type=java.util.ArrayList /
..

action name=productForm path=/products scope=session...
...
DynaActionForm theForm = (DynaActionForm) form;

ArrayList productList = 

theForm.set(product,productList);

//and for some stange reason.. try without the following first

session.setAttribute(product,productList);

...

logic:iterate id=product name=productForm property=product
html:text name=product property=price /
...
DynaActionForm theForm = (DynaActionForm) form;
ArrayList productList = (ArrayList) theForm.get(product);
for(int i = 0;i  productList.size();i++) {
Product prod = (Product) productList.get(i);
System.out.println(  prod.getPrice()  );
}
...

This should help.. Cheers Mark
