Re: Pls help on shopping cart App

2004-03-20 Thread Mark Lowe
A little off topic .. but does weblogic actually cost money? Sounds 
worse then Jrun to me.

Anyway if I understood the problem, if weblogic struts which I assume 
is struts 1.0 doesn't support indexed=true (as struts 1.0 doesn't) 
then you have to put the index in youself

logic:iterate id=item name=basketForm property=items 
indexId=index
	%
		java.lang.String item = item[+ java.lang.Integer.toString(index) 
+];
		pageScope.setAttribute(item,item);
	%
	html:text name=%= item % property=price /
/logic:iterate

Again, perhaps I didn't understand the question, or perhaps things look 
more like this.

logic:iterate id=item name=basketForm property=items 
indexId=index
	%
		java.lang.String price = price[+ java.lang.Integer.toString(index) 
+];
		pageScope.setAttribute(price, price);
	%
	html:text  property=%= price % /
/logic:iterate

I assume this is how matey boy fixed his weblogic struts problem.

If you form is scoped to request you can also set redirect=true in

Struts 1.2.0 was released a few weeks ago using the new Tomcat-style 
version numbering.  That means that a numbered release may or may not 
be considered a production quality release.  There has not been a 
formal vote on the status of 1.2.0, but I think we'd cut another 
release rather than vote 1.2.0 as production-quality.

If you're satisfied with Struts 1.1, you may as well stick with it. 
If you like to keep up with Struts while its evolving, you might be 
just as well off building from CVS Head as using Struts 1.2.0.  That 
way you'd roll in recent bug fixes and be in a position to fix other 
bugs yourself if you find them (or just update from CVS and apply 
fixes and changes as they come in.)

There aren't anywhere near the number of structural changes between 
1.1 and 1.2 that there were between 1.0 and 1.1.  Many deprecated 
members from 1.1 have been removed, so if you were ignoring the 
deprecation warnings all this time, you'll finally have to catch up. 
Also, if I recall correctly, there are some changes in the JSP tag 
libraries that may be hard to find until you compile the JSPs.

Hope that helps,
Joe

bean:message prints the KEY, not the MESSAGE

I'm somewhat new to Struts.

Using iPlanet 6.0.5, when a page is rendered, the message KEY is being printed, not

This is what appears on the HTML page:

Security FIlter Framework

Hi,
 
We have a web app implemneted in struts and deployed in Weblogic 7.0.We are planning 
to implement/consider filter frameworks for allowing role based access into the web 
app.(may be including the security filter framework.)Any suggestions on how this can 
be done and design decisons
 
Role based access meaning different users could get access only to different set of 
pages and anot all-trying tos eparate authentication from jsp's (business logic out of 
jsp's and into the filter framewrok/back end authentication mechanism)
 
Thanks in advance.

JAAS won't help you any more than what you've got in tomcat. The use of 
roles operates on exactly the same principles. It's got to, because it's 
not JAAS that has to deal with the roles, it's the container.

JAAS allows multiple login modules to be combined in a pluggable 
fashion. Say a user/password with a smartcard and a biometric scanner. 
(perhaps Sun are trying to sell it to the Pentagon!)

I'm not helping much here, but I still don't get what the problem is. I 
read the bit about 'entity-based not system-wide' responsibilities and I 
get that, but I don't see what the issue is.

You're deciding permissions: you have a user's identity (ID or login 
name) and you have a user's roles.

In this case, your superuser wants to 'become' a normal user, so that 
means to me that the superuser wants to see exactly what the user sees, 
and be able to do exactly what the user can do.

That means the superuser must borrow the user's identity and roles. To 
borrow the identity, you use some sort of session attribute containing 
the 'currently effective ID' and to borrow the roles, well you don't, 
you just have them already because you're superuser.

Perhaps a concrete example would help. I assume you are talking about 
deciding on the presence / absence of form controls depending on the 
user viewing the page.

 David,
 
 I think it is unusual to design the security system such that you must
 switch identities to meet your requirements. It may be worth rethinking your
 security system design so that a user will remain who they are, but be
 allowed to access resources that fall under their responsibility.
 
 As a generic example, it is customary for a user who is a system
 administrator to be able to change the password for any user in the system.
 The administrator does not actually switch their identity in the process,
 but rather they are granted access to do the password change by virtue of
 having some kind of sysadmin role.
 
 I realize that your business domain is more complex than that, but I think
 it would be useful to think about it in terms of a user having access to
 things without having to switch their identity. Since you can't use simple
 system-wide roles like admin due to the structure of responsibilities
 dictated by your business domain (client can add and edit their employees,
 but not the employees of another client), you have to do something special.
 
 One option is to map (flatten) the complex domain to a flat set of roles.
 For example, client Bob has role client1234.client, where client1234
 is the client that Bob is a client for. You might also have roles like
 admin, reseller33, customer128, client1234.employee, etc. The
 numbers in in the role names are the id of the entity they represent. This
 requires programmatic security in a sense, since you will need to determine
 what role to check for at runtime. But you will still be able to use the
 J2EE standard request.isUserInRole() call to determine membership for the
 currently authenticated user.
 
 Another option is to do thoroughly programmatic security, where you still
 use container-managed security for authentication (is this Bob?) and write
 code to do the authorization (Bob wants to edit a user account in the
 context of the client with id = 1234, is Bob allowed to do that?) without
 mapping it to a role name. Perhaps your realm could create Principal objects
 such that the application code can ask the Principal if they can do
 something.
 
 Bob will very likely have other responsibilties (the same stuff the
 employees do) that you might wish to control with a single role
 client1234.employee. In that case, Bob would have both the
 client1234.client and client1234.employee roles. Alternately, you could
 identify a set of roles that would allow a user to do that stuff:
 client1234.employee, client1234.client, customer128, reseller33,
 etc. where client1234 is under the customer128 account, which in turn is
 under the reseller33 account. If Bob had any of those roles, he would be
 allowed to do employee stuff in the context of client1234.
 
 A single user can have an unlimited number of roles, and you can write your
 own security realm to read that information from a variety of tables in the
 database. Or write a view in the database for your User_Role join table and
 use a standard realm. Be aware that you might end up wasting a lot of memory
 if each user ends up with a ton of roles and your realm loads them all into
 memory during authentication.
 
 I have not done anything with JAAS, so perhaps there is a better solution
 available using JAAS technology. It would be great to hear from someone that
 knows of a good JAAS-based solution. David's problem of entity-based (rather
 than system-wide) responsibilities is a very common one.

RE: version 1.2

2004-03-20 Thread Ted Husted
As Joe mentioned, we no longer use the beta-beta-beta-final versioning scheme.

We now use an immutable versioning scheme, like that used by the Apache HTTPD 
project, Jakata Tomcat, and many others.

Each release is a point release, meaning it's a three part number: 
major-minor-point. The most recent Struts point release is 1.2.0. The next will be 
1.2.1. Each number is an integer, so there can be any number of point releases.

Each point release is created exactly once. After the release is created, we vote as 
to whether to change its status from alpha to beta and/or general availability.

We may also vote to demote a release, if we discover problems later.

At this time, Struts 1.1 is the best available release. Struts 1.2.0 is also 
available, but still considered alpha quality.

** We encourage everyone to try running your applications against 1.2.0 and report any 
problems.  **

Right now, there are a handful of problem tickets against 1.2.0. As soon as those are 
resolved, we will issue 1.2.1. Hopefully, that release will make GA status. Either 
way, the next 1.2.x release after 1.2.1 will be 1.2.2.

 Struts 1.2.0 was released a few weeks ago using the new Tomcat-
 style version numbering.  That means that a numbered release may
 or may not be considered a production quality release.  There has
 not been a formal vote on the status of 1.2.0, but I think we'd
 cut another release rather than vote 1.2.0 as production-quality.

 If you're satisfied with Struts 1.1, you may as well stick with
 it. If you like to keep up with Struts while its evolving, you
 might be just as well off building from CVS Head as using Struts
 1.2.0.  That way you'd roll in recent bug fixes and be in a
 position to fix other bugs yourself if you find them (or just
 update from CVS and apply fixes and changes as they come in.)

 There aren't anywhere near the number of structural changes
 between 1.1 and 1.2 that there were between 1.0 and 1.1.  Many
 deprecated members from 1.1 have been removed, so if you were
 ignoring the deprecation warnings all this time, you'll finally
 have to catch up. Also, if I recall correctly, there are some
 changes in the JSP tag libraries that may be hard to find until
 you compile the JSPs.

 Hope that helps,
 Joe

As Joe mentioned, we no longer use the beta-beta-beta-final versioning
scheme.

We now use an immutable versioning scheme, like that used by the
Apache HTTPD project, Jakata Tomcat, and many others.

Each release is a point release, meaning it's a three part number:
major-minor-point. The most recent Struts point release is 1.2.0. The
next will be 1.2.1. Each number is an integer, so there can be any
number of point releases.

Each point release is created exactly once. After the release is
created, we vote as to whether to change its status from alpha to
beta and/or general availability.

We may also vote to demote a release, if we discover problems later.

At this time, Struts 1.1 is the best available release. Struts 1.2.0 is
also available, but still considered alpha quality.

** We encourage everyone to try running your applications against 1.2.0
and report any problems.  **

Right now, there are a handful of problem tickets against 1.2.0. As soon
as those are resolved, we will issue 1.2.1. Hopefully, that release will
make GA status. Either way, the next 1.2.x release after 1.2.1 will be
1.2.2.

-Ted.

Re: Security FIlter Framework

2004-03-20 Thread Bill Siggelkow
Sam,

If possible, I think that there are a lot of advantages to using 
container-managed security.  However, it depends on how well you 
authorization needs fit.  If you are using LDAP for your back end 
security data store, then Weblogic CMA works well with this.  I have not 
used Weblogic CMA against RDBMS but I am sure it works well for this as 
well provided that your data model is a close match.  However, if your 
authorization rqmts are based on more than just role (for example, let's 
say a user's role plus the department he belongs to) than making CMA fit 
becomes more difficult.  That is where something SecurityFilter works 
well.  I have researched SecurityFilter 
(http://securityfilter.sourceforge.net) and I think it can be quite 
useful in bridging the gap between container-provided security and a 
custom security policy.  One thing for sure is that it will be more 
portable across App Servers, than say, providing a Weblogic Custom 
Realm.  However, I have not SecurityFilter in a production environment 
so YMMV.

Hi,
 
We have a web app implemneted in struts and deployed in Weblogic 7.0.We are planning to implement/consider filter frameworks for allowing role based access into the web app.(may be including the security filter framework.)Any suggestions on how this can be done and design decisons
