The javax.print stuff is local to the JVM being executed. Assuming that 
you're dealing with a server-side application (i.e. your question is 
marginally relevant to the struts-user list), you can potentially 
accomplish this using JavaScript.

But since essentially you'd have to (on the client using JavaScript):
1) Grab the file
2) Launch Acrobat Reader and instruct IT to print the file
This might be easier said than done.

But someone else might have experience with doing this using JavaScript. 
The important thing I wanted to express is that you won't be able to do 
it using Java raw because in a server-side application you don't 
actually have any Java running on the client's machine: the java is 
entirely executing on the server.

Re: how to disabled submit button from action class

2003-12-03 Thread Max Cooper

The submit button exists on the client. The Action code executes on the
server. Action code cannot reach out and disable a submit button on the
client.

However, you can have the Action decide in advance that the page the browser
will render has its submit button disabled. Consider an ActionForm with a
"submitButtonDisabled" property. The Action could set it to true, and then
the JSP could render the button accordingly. When the browser renders the
plain old HTML produced when the server executes the JSP, it will render the
button as disabled.

If you want this to work more dynamically, perhaps disabling the button
after the user clicks it once, you will need to use something that executes
on the client. JavaScript, for instance. Tokens can also be used to handle
the "user double-clicked the submit button" problem. Struts has token
support built-in. Sometimes, a number of techniques (JavaScript and tokens)
need to be combined to produce the exact behavior desired (or as close as
you can get to it).

This general topic is discussed quite frequently on this list, so it might
be worth searching the mail archive.

Deploying a struts application (WAR) under ColdFusionMX

2003-12-03 Thread Tim Lucia

Hello all,

I am looking to build an add-on web application to a legacy coldfusion
application.  I have got a prototype working under tomcat and now I want
to "deploy" it to the cf server.  It appears that I cannot simply load a
war file, nor can I unpack it under cfusionmx\wwwroot.  Both apps need
to be in the same application server so I can share session data (for
single sign-on, database resources, etc.)

Has anyone done this?  Are there any resources available?  The
MacroMedia web site suggests (which I also discovered on my own) that
you include the struts action servlet definition in the
cfusionmx\wwwroot\WEB-INF\web.xml file, but I am concerned about
install/uninstall-ability of this web app (there will eventually be as
many as 8 of them, and we want to add/remove/upgrade them at will).
Eventually, the legacy app may move away from cf in which case we can
easily use any app server that suits us.

The choices I think I have so far are:

1. Do what a reasonable container would do and manually "merge" the
add-on to the main (cf) application, adding the ActionServlet mapping to
the cf web.xml.
2. Drop cf as the web application server and use tomcat, moving the cf
servlet pieces into their own web.xml (putting the cf part in its own
context/web app).  This is effectively the reverse of #1.
3. Figure out a way to make cfusionmx accept the .war or some archive or
hierarchy like tomcat would.
4. Figure out a way to make a .car (coldfusion archive) out of my .war

I'm looking for help with option #3 (preferred) or #4.

Thanks for any pointers, tips, or help,
Tim Lucia

Message Resource bundle frustration

2003-12-03 Thread Derek Clarkson

Hi all,
I've just subscribed to this list and would appreciate any help you can give. 
I've been trying to get resources bundles to work. I have a jar file which is 
used on several projects and contains some core business beans. It also 
contains aproperty file with a basic set of messages for various errors.

In the project I am currently working on I have another properties file which 
contains more project specific messages. The problems is that I cannot find 
out how to access these messages in an Action.

I've read a lot on the web, but most of the docouments talk about how you do 
it using jsp tags. In actions I can access messages using the ActionMessage 
class which are stored in the default properties file. In my 
struts-config.xml though, I can only have one properties file as default and 
the other I have to provide a key for. 

I can't find any way to tell ActionMessage what key to use to access the 
messages I want to use. I can do it using a MessageResources class, but it 
only provides the completed message Strings, and ActionMessage only accepts 
property keys.

I must be missing something, or there is a gap between these two ways of 
handle messages. All I want to do is (in an Action) retrieve a message from a 
specific properties file and display it in a document using . 
This shouldn't be this hard, any ideas

RE: Disadvantages of Struts?

2003-12-03 Thread Hookom, Jacob

What I have for the foundation of our Struts app:

---

SmoAction
+-void setSource(SmoActionMapping, HttpServletRequest, String key)
+-ActionForward getSource(SmoActionMapping, String key)

SmoActionMapping
+-String getSource()

---
Step 1: Setting the Source

On SmoAction, I lazy load a Map into the user's session if:
+-Request has a "source" parameter
+-else SmoActionMapping.getSource() != null

Then I use the passed String "key" to set the String "value" from either the
request or the mapping.  End Method.

---
Step 2: Getting the Source

On SmoAction, I call getSource() with the SmoActionMapping for reference and
the String "key" for lookup.  The reason for not storing the ActionForward
itself is that I would rather have the ActionForward relative to the current
Action being executed, instead of the one that originally set the source
(this is debatable, but it meets our needs). 
+- If there is a map in the session to look against
+- use the passed key to find a forward name
+- if not null, then use the passed ActionMapping to findForward

---
Notes:

Variations on this could include allowing a stack to be created for each
key.  So when I call getSource() I get the last value that was set for that
key.

Some of the issues we ran into were storing parameters and resubmitting
forms.  Because we use SessionBeans to preserve state on our crutial areas,
re-requesting an Action would be able to restore the view based on a session
bean and not on parameters.

Care to elaborate?  Do you have a Map of String-String name/value pairs,
or are you putting ActionForwards in the Map?  What do you mean by
'allow the actionmappings/request specify a source'?

I'm not happy with the way I'm doing the and am looking for something

Just a thought: In case you are ok with Validation than you can as well 
use "mapping.getInputForward" in Action to go back ...in case you are in

There is request-header "referrer-to" which will tell you the original

implemented by all browsers.


An example is the sort of lookup I have to do to populate fields on my

possible matches (a separate form with a bunch of radio buttons) the
user picks one, and he must then be taken back to the original form he
was working on, with the name he picked inserted into the form and
another blank text box now available for his next name choice.  Think of
a database of people, and you're adding [keys to] "children" to a

This raises an interesting point, which I've not run into yet.

This is often solved in a non-Struts application by having a "reporting" 
facility which is used to do the analysis/pure-display pages (i.e. ones 
which have minimal interaction with the rest of hte application, but 
which create a lot of heavy-lifting reports). That facility is often 
provided by a third-party package such as Crystal Reports.

Does anybody have any experience integrating a Struts application with a 
third-party package like that? Any tips? I'm curious because some of the 
stuff I work on may have that type of requirement (big report pages) in 
the future, and we've got people that are experienced with Crystal 
Reports, so if I can easily integrate that into the technology stack I'd 
love to.

Re: Unicode text in Property files

2003-12-03 Thread Jason Lea

You can create and edit the property files saving them in UTF-8. Then
you convert the UTF-8 into the format java expects eg \u using the
native2ascii program that comes with Java.

It will create a new file so the created files are what go into your
application, leaving your source files in UTF-8. I use an ANT task to
do this for me automatically:

Here are the Java Docs for native2ascii:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/solaris/native2ascii.html
So this should work
native2ascii -encoding UTF-8 file1.source file1.properties

Hi,

I have a query and request you to kindly spare some time to enlighten me.

I am making a web application that would translate words from English to various Indian languages using Struts. The application would not use any database so I must use some flat file to store the translation in form of English_word = Hindi_meaning (name value pair or some other form). There would be 11 Indian languages apart from Hindi. Since Java Property files are used in application localization I was of the opinion that they could easily be used to store this data (for eg. a property file State.propeties might store the names of Indian states in Hindi ex: Delhi= ??). The value is written in Hindi unicode here, a Hindi Unicode font is available here for free download.

Important point is: My language data (the value for english keys) would be in Unicode, as above. I understand that the default encoding of the property file is not Unicode. So while saving the property file I will have to save it with UTF-8 encoding. Since struts heavily uses the Property files for internationalization, will it be possible for me to use the files with Unicode text in them.

I request your advice on how to use the Property file in such a case (or should I use the normal tab-separated text option as above, with the file,being read using Java I/O API).

Re: User defined error messages

You can  connect to database by extending "PropertyMessageResources" of 
struts.

PropertyMessageResources has "loadLocale" method wherein struts use 
"getResourceAsStream(proprtyFileName)"... Thus, instead of that you have 
to connect to database to load it.

you have to again extend PropertyMessageResources..

Problem is somewhere else.

PS:: Setting debug level in web.xml i.e.   is deprecated.
Thus, I will configure logging detail by using config file of underlying 
 logging implementation as above.

DO you mean  "protected String registrations[]".
And this worked for you.

Re: Changing SessionId at every request

Gary, to be really honest, what you're trying to do is implement an 
SSL-like mechanism without using SSL. This is exactly the situation that 
SSL is designed to guarantee from a Server perspective (that a single 
connection is actually with a single client and hasn't been "hijacked" 
in any way). It might just be faster (from a development perspective) to 
just go with SSL in production.

Any particular reason you're reluctant to go with an SSL-based solution?

It's actually a little more complex than that. What happens is that I
perform a number of calculations, which use variables stored in the 
database
and depending on the result more information is retrieved from the database
and added to the response. It's not a standard 1-n or n-n relationship, but
more extracting data on the fly.
Well, if the calculation is purely based on database information, you 
could use a stored procedure (which Milind Kulkarni recommended in 
another email) or you could also create a virtual column in the database 
schema (such as through a View or a direct calculated column in some 
databases like DB/2) and do a query on that, which would then allow the 
calculation to go into one database call.

Have you tried pushing the calculation logic into the database (as with 
a Stored Procedure or a View) yet? That might allow you to again get 
into a single-query model, but without knowing the type of calculations 
you're making I can't make a definite recommendation.

One option is to store the calculation variables in a hash table stored in
application scope and only change them when they have been updated.
This would help, but the next logical extension would be to do 
additional caching in the database level, and control your cache updates 
programmatically when the rest of the system changes, which could again 
reduce the number of calls that you're making.

Will using something like iBatis or even Hibernate improve the situation?
It could. Depending on the transactional requirements, OR-Mapping 
systems can often do some pretty intensive between-transactional caching 
in the application level which can help out. Without knowing the 
particulars of your application and its transactional requirements it's 
difficult to know for sure, but it's possible.

letting
the .jsp do the talking with the DB. Or perhaps let a servlet do it all for

This raises an interesting point, which I've not run into yet.

This is often solved in a non-Struts application by having a "reporting" 
facility which is used to do the analysis/pure-display pages (i.e. ones 
which have minimal interaction with the rest of hte application, but 
which create a lot of heavy-lifting reports). That facility is often 
provided by a third-party package such as Crystal Reports.

Does anybody have any experience integrating a Struts application with a 
third-party package like that? Any tips? I'm curious because some of the 
stuff I work on may have that type of requirement (big report pages) in 
the future, and we've got people that are experienced with Crystal 
Reports, so if I can easily integrate that into the technology stack I'd 
love to.

If it's display-only, I have an Action which uses my DAO layer to talk
to the database and puts beans in some scope.  Then the JSP uses JSTL
tags to display the data (or bean:write in your case-- IIRC bean:write
will work with beans other than Form beans, you just have to tell it
where to get the data).  I agree, you're making it more complex than it
needs to be.

No matter how simple your webapp is now, it's a REALLY REALLY bad idea
to talk to the database from the JSP.  Resist the temptation, it will
make your life easier in the future.  IMO even the Actions shouldn't
talk directly to the database-- my Actions get a Data Access Object and
call 'read' or 'update', remaining blissfully ignorant about what's
happening behind the scenes.

So Struts only gets involved with the ".do" mapping and figuring out
which action to call.  I don't bother with a Form bean if it's display
only.  Similarly, if a plain old HTML tag will do the job, I don't use a
Struts tag-- it the output isn't dynamic, why bother?

How extensively can/is Struts used ?

2003-12-03 Thread Linus Nikander

I was wondering how far it is recommended to "keep" using struts when
displaying information. Two examples might make it clearer about where I'm
having trouble deciding.

For instance, I've got lots of forms on my site, I use Struts for all of
them, love the extra functionality and the "one way of doing things" that
Struts gives me.

Then I have lots of "display information only"-pages. Most of these are
tables that are based on some sort of DB table. Right now I:
Call a struts Action.
The Action retrieves the data, populates a boatload of Beans.
The Beans are stuffed into a List, which in turn is put into a List which
resides in my Form.
The jsp retrieves the Form.
The jsp performs a 
The information is output with a lot of bean:write's

Although this approach appeals to me in some ways (nice separation of
concerns DB / Business-layer / Display for instance) it also seems a bit
over the top at times. I could easily accomplish the same display by letting
the .jsp do the talking with the DB. Or perhaps let a servlet do it all for
me.

My question is, do you guys use the above described method when only
displaying information too ? Could this eventually become a performace
bottleneck (maybe due the large amount of Beans being created) ? Is there
perhaps a better variation of the above that I've missed ?

All points of view welcome.

RE: User defined error messages

2003-12-03 Thread Greg Dunn

Sorry I wasn't clear.  I've got my ApplicationResources.properties file set
up and in use for most messages.  However, it's packed into a .war file
inside an .ear file for deployment, so I can't let them access it directly
and edit the messages in it to their taste.  What I'm looking for is another
source to collect a message bundle from, preferably the database.  Though I
could use another .properties file they CAN access I would prefer to go the
database route because they'll be editing it through their web based admin
pages and my life will be easier if I can use DAO's I already have, and we
don't have to rely on them backing their disk files up.

RE: Solved super.init() dies silently after migration from struts 1.0 to struts 1.1

2003-12-03 Thread Steve Raeburn

You should really take a look at the Ant  task.
http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html - look under Ant Tasks/Optional
tasks. It's free and it will allow you to validate your XML files as
part of the build process.

Alternatively, use an editor that will validate the files for you as you
go. I'm sure if you take a look around there are options for IDEs and
standalone editors.

RE: Why isn't an ActionForm just a Map?

2003-12-03 Thread Hookom, Jacob

I'm kinda confused on this too.

It seems there's a migration towards DynaActionForms and if you read Craig's
previous post:

http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg34344.html

Defining a property as anything but a String seems taboo.  Let validator
assert that a property is an integer, but leave the type definition as
String in all cases on your ActionForm.

RE: Variable value in logic:equal tag Help Req

You can use a variable for the value attribute just as you did:  <%=
refValue %> as long as refValue is a variable in some scope on your page.
Note that refValue must point to a String object because the equal tag
requires this (it converts the value of the bean pointed to by the name
attribute to a String for comparisons).  If refValue is not a String you can
try the following <%= refValue.toString() %>.

Select Property !

2003-12-03 Thread Rama, Shreekantha (K.)

Hi All, 

I have the following piece of code in a .jsp


  
  

I am getting the error as : 

[No getter method available for property modelYear for bean under name 2002]: 
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: No getter method available for property modelYear for 
bean under name 2002
at 
org.apache.struts.taglib.html.OptionsCollectionTag.doStartTag(OptionsCollectionTag.java:273)
 


My baseVO class has these methods

/**
 * Gets the fieldNo
 * @return Returns a String
 */
public String getModelYear() {
return strModelYear;
}

/**
 * Sets the strModelYear
 * @param strMdlYr The strModelYear to set
 */
public void setModelYear(String strMdlYr) {
this.strModelYear = strMdlYr;
}



/**
 * Gets the ModelYearList
 * @return Returns an arraylist
 */
public ArrayList getModelYearList() {
return ModelYearList;
}

/**
 * Sets the ModelYearList
 * @param ModelYearList The ModelYearList to set
 */
public void setModelYearList(ArrayList listArray) {
this.ModelYearList = listArray;
}


What is the mistake I have done.

RE: Validator: Unwanted Client side AND Server side validation

2003-12-03 Thread Andy Schmidgall

Make sure you you have the return statement in the onsubmit handler.
Otherwise it will always submit the form.

It needs to look like this: onsubmit="return validateFooForm(this)"

If that's not the problem, you may be trying to validate using an
incorrect field name. That's happened to me a few times.

Re: [ot] image file to byte array

2003-12-03 Thread Kris Schneider

This seems like a problem waiting to happen:

byte [] loader = new byte [ (int) raf.length() ];
while ( (raf.read( loader )) > 0 )
{
  out.write( loader );
  out.flush();
  out.close();
}

RandomAccessFile.read(byte[]) is *not* guaranteed to completely fill the buffer
you provide. It will read *at most* loader.length bytes. Obviously, if your loop
executes more than once you're in trouble. If you really want to do this sort of
thing instead of the typical "copy bytes" approach, you could use:

raf.readFully(loader);

Quoting Adam L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Re: Dynamic assignment of tiles

2003-12-03 Thread Ted Husted

The XMLs files are just used to generate an object graph. If you want to 
  change definitions dynamically, you'd want to look at changing the 
object graph rather than the XML script.

Though, dynamic content is not usually dependant on the Tiles definition 
itself. Typically, dynamic content is passed through the request and 
then merged into the server page.

If you are talking about adding additional tiles to a list at runtime, I 
believe Cedric describes some techniques for that in his advanced Tiles 
document.

http://www.lifl.fr/~dumoulin/tiles/tilesAdvancedFeatures.pdf

Essentially, you might be talking about creating a profile and then 
using that profile to create the list of tiles to render.

Meanwhile, no this isn't a DEV topic, and yes, you should be posting 
items like this to the USER list. DEV is for features that don't exist 
yet :)

-Ted.

Dear All,

I am working on an intranet website using struts/tiles. Due to server

need to change the tileDefinitions.xml file, which is obviously not 
possible.

My only solution so far is to write my own version of the 
org.apache.struts.tiles.xmlDefinition package to access a database instead 

- essentially create a TilesDefinitionFactory which reads the definitions 
from a database.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or alternatives?

Re: Positional problem?

2003-12-03 Thread Paul-J Woodward


I once had the same problem. I overcame it using embedded links in the page, 
submitting the name of the link to be scrolled to as a hidden form element and placing 
a redirect in the onload property of the body tag. It worked, but it wasn't fantastic.

You may be able to use javascript to get the scroll position from the window object 
and pass that in the form, although that may introduce cross-browser compatibility 
issues.

Why isn't an ActionForm just a Map?

2003-12-03 Thread Antony Paul

This question is from the table of contents of a text book. I dont have this
book in hand.
I have other questions also.
Why ActionForm is made Struts dependent ?.
Why not use just plain JavaBean whch can be used as TransferObject. ?

Unicode text in Property files

2003-12-03 Thread Debashish Chakrabarty

Hi,

I have a query and request you to kindly spare some time to enlighten me.

I am making a web application that would translate words from English to various 
Indian languages using Struts. The application would not use any database so I must 
use some flat file to store the translation in form of English_word = Hindi_meaning 
(name value pair or some other form). There would be 11 Indian languages apart from 
Hindi. Since Java Property files are used in application localization I was of the 
opinion that they could easily be used to store this data (for eg. a property file 
State.propeties might store the names of Indian states in Hindi ex: Delhi= ??). 
The value is written in Hindi unicode here, a Hindi Unicode font is available here for 
free download.

Important point is: My language data (the value for english keys) would be in Unicode, 
 as above.  I understand that the default encoding of the property file is not 
Unicode.  So while saving the property file I will have to save it with UTF-8 
encoding. Since struts heavily uses the Property files for internationalization, will 
it be possible for me to use the files with Unicode text in them. 

I request your advice on how to use the Property file in such a case (or should I use 
the normal tab-separated text option as above, with the file,being read using Java I/O 
API).

Thanks,
Debashish Chakrabarty

[OT] Re: Changing SessionId at every request

2003-12-03 Thread Adam Hardy

Will Hartung is asking the same questions just hours ago in the thread 
"cross-site single sign on" on the tomcat user list - so you are not 
alone. However I don't have any experience with this (& it's getting 
OT). Sorry. Following is an interesting bit from his message:

Now, if you have sitea.com and siteb.com, then the cookie technique can't
work (as neither can set a cookie for the other). So, I'm thinking that you
can do something similiar, a signed token, in a hidden field and then having
to submit a form to get to the new site.
Of course, you can always stick the token on the URL as well.

I assume that Gurpreet wants to do it for security reasons and it's not
a bad idea. It certainly means that nobody would be able to share a

I think expiring the session is overkill - I would just leave the
session as it is and use the filter to check and change my own
hand-rolled session id.

IS it possible to change the Session Id generated by the Web

Say i have a Servlet running on Tomcat. what i want is when ever
any User lets assume USER A ask for a request i want to change the

Purpose behind doing this is to make every request safe.

Validator: Unwanted Client side AND Server side validation

2003-12-03 Thread inaminute

Hi,

When using client side validation the form is submitted regardless of Javascript
validation check occuring (After clicking OK on the Javascript popup warning
following an error the form get submitted anyway). 

I used validation already without this behaviour to occur ... I must be
misconfiguring something but cannot find out what it is. Validation works as
expected Server side.

I am using Struts 1.1 with the bundled Validator together with Scaffold 1_0.

Any idea welcome, Patrick

Re: Dynamic assignment of tiles

2003-12-03 Thread Paul-J Woodward


Andreas,

Thanks for the ideas - I see your point about the dangers of a proprietary solution.

When it comes to changing the site in such a way that new actions are required (more a 
framework change than a content change), this really has to go through a test and 
user-acceptance process, hence access would be required to the development servers, 
whereas static content (i.e. news updates) is a far less serious change which I want 
to happen quickly and easily by piviledged users (i.e. via an online wizard).

I've made some progress to writing a tiles definition factory which uses a database - 
it has been (so far) easier than I expected. I'm going to give it a go and see if it 
works. One further issue I have to contend with is that the production servers are 11 
completely independent machines.

Almost ten years ago and totally unrelated to Struts or even Java, I did
something similar.  At that time, I had very good success with a home brew
object oriented concept on top of a relational database.

I thought of my individual database row as an "object". There would be a

object, I would think of it as, "I want to call a method".  Given the class
and the name of the method I wanted to call, a database lookup would tell me
which particular implementation would do the trick.

In this way, I had, in fact, implemented object orientation.  The
architecture would easily accommodate various implementations for special
ways of performing common tasks.  In my own (biased) opinion, the net result
was an stable, flexible and successful architecture.  The customer loved it,
too (the stability in particular).  The major drawback was that, for a
couple of years or so, I was the only one who dared to touch the code.

In this age of Java, of course, you could simply use EJBs.  I recommend you
evaluate whether they fit your needs (I you haven't done that already).

Re: Wht does tag in web.xml means ??

2003-12-03 Thread Claire Wall

The  tag determines the order in which the specified
classes are run when the application first starts. so for example, say i had
two servlets which i wanted to start up immediately when the application
starts, i would do the following:


  myServlet1
  package1.myServlet1
  ...
  1



  myServlet2
  package1.myServlet2
  ...
  2


this means that myServlet1 would start up (run) first and then myServlet2
would start up after myServlet1. Often the ordering does not matter but if
you had a class which depended upon another to be up and running first, you
would need to order them correctly otherwise your application may not run as
expected and may well throw exceptions.

Hi Shakti,
  means you want call your servlet class at the time of
server startup.
A typical use will be for loading context/application level parameters in
the memory.
The value indicates the order in which servlets are loaded.
For eg:- 1 indicates this servlet will be loaded first. 
Also, You want action servlet to be loaded before calling your personal
servlet.

ActionMapping - dependency - question

2003-12-03 Thread Zimmek, Jan

Hi,

I have started to develop several reusable struts-enhancements like
(conditional-execution of actions, workflow, ...).
All of them have been realized using the nested  element of
the  element which is working very nice ;)

What I do not understand is, why the ConfigRuleSet.java defines the
following rule:

digester.addSetProperty("struts-config/action-mappings/action/set-property",
"property", "value");

instead of something similar to the datasource/plugin - rule:

digester.addRule("struts-config/plug-in/set-property", new
PlugInSetPropertyRule());

which invokes a method E.g. :

addProperty(String key, String value)

and not a "setter"-method like (when property="test") :

setTest(String value)


Due to this fact I am running into problem because I am not able to use
multiple enhancements at the same time, unless the defined
"ActionMapping"-class of the action implements "setter"-methods for all
required properties.

E.g:

class MyMapping
{
  setPermissionName()
  setNextFlow()
  setXXX
  ...
}

In my opinion this is a dependency which contradicts the independency of the
struts-framework as a whole.

It would be great if one of you could give me a hint on how to solve my
problem without changing the struts.DTD or anything along those lines.

Any help is very appreciated.

If you can use a stored procedure instead of a multiple SQL statements then
it would improve your performance significantly. The advantages are obvious
but then if you plan to develop a solution that works on the different types
of databases then this solution may not work. We did this in many situations
and have seen a significant improvement.

Subject: Data Access Optmizing


I have a small struts web app which stores user entered information in a DB
and then it performs some calculations on the data and spits out a results
page.

The app is working fine but I'm seeing some performance issues with regards
to data access. I'm using simple data access objects which connect to a
container managed JNDI pool. I can retrieve large amounts of data quite
quickly but when I use nested connection performance really suffers.

By nested calls I mean that say I retrieve a Collection of a couple of
thousand user response objects (which are retrieved quite quickly) and then
I process the responses by iterating through them to produce a Collection of
user feedback objects. During each cycle I make a number of database calls
to get information related to processing the individual user response. This
is where things get really slw.

What I'm after is some pointers on what the best practise in dealing with
this situation is. How do others get around this issue?

My thinking is that it's not the data access method (simple DAO's) but more
the fact that I'm opening and closing so many connections during the
processing phase.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Re: Changing SessionId at every request

2003-12-03 Thread Adam Hardy

I assume that Gurpreet wants to do it for security reasons and it's not 
a bad idea. It certainly means that nobody would be able to share a 
session, and so therefor a session-hijack would become obviously 
immediately.

I think expiring the session is overkill - I would just leave the 
session as it is and use the filter to check and change my own 
hand-rolled session id.

but it an be done. Write a filter. pass every request thru that.
1. Fetch the session, expire it. Server will assign new.
2. Fetch the session, don't expire the session, just append a timestamp to
it. set a cookie and use that to maintain session.

Subject: Changing SessionId at every request
HI,

IS it possible to change the Session Id generated by the Web
Server at every request for the  same client. I wil make it much
more clear.
Say i have a Servlet running on Tomcat. what i want is when ever
any User lets assume USER A ask for a request i want to change the
sessionId server variable which has been gerenrated by the Web
Server to uniquely identify the client.
Purpose behind doing this is to make every request safe.

Any suggections will be higly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

[ot] image file to byte array

2003-12-03 Thread Mark Lowe

Although its not a struts problem as such I do happen to be using 
struts in my app..

Here some code as it will say more in less words that it will take to 
explain

In my action servlet I have something like this..


response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
OutputStream ou = response.getOutputStream();
String imageStr = "file:///foo/test.jpg";
java.net.URI imgUri = new java.net.URI(imageStr);
File imageFile = new File(imgUri);
FileInputStream imageFileStream = new FileInputStream(imageFile);
byte[] image = new byte[(int) 
imageFile.length()];System.out.println("imageFile.length()"+ 
imageFile.length());
ou.write(image);



Now the system out returns the correct amount of bytes so its seeing 
the image and not getting file not found exception. but it just wont 
stream back to my jsp when i run the action.

This code is basically a else clause when no results are returned from 
the database.. The results from the db (via hibernate works just fine) 
but this bit doesn't..

Can anyone who's done this cast their eye over it for anything 
obviously wrong. Could it be a permissions issue?

Cheers Mark
