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


	<%
		java.lang.String item = "item["+ java.lang.Integer.toString(index) 
+"]";
		pageScope.setAttribute("item",item);
	%>
	


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


	<%
		java.lang.String price = "price["+ java.lang.Integer.toString(index) 
+"]";
		pageScope.setAttribute("price", price);
	%>
	


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

However, can you recommend an existing *best* solution -- preferably

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

2004-03-20 Thread Newcomer, Kenneth
All
I'm somewhat new to Struts.

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

This is what appears on the HTML page:
???en_US.enterprise.program.name.label???

What I want is this:

This renders OK in Tomcat/Apache but not in iPlanet.  I've checked the docs for 
iPlanet, and tried to set the correct language setings, but that's not working.

Any ideas?

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)

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.

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

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.

RE: version 1.2

Ted,

Thanks a lot for clearing this issue.

Subject: RE: version 1.2

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.

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,
