I thought it best to just have source code, and then perhaps a "links" page where visitors could go to download materials, such as a link to the Struts page, a link to reumann.net, and so on. I really want to focus on the ease of use and usefulness aspects of the site. As far as receiving material is concerned, perhaps that could be best accomplished by a page with a form on it where we could collect the author's name, e-mail address, topic, and then a textarea where they could write their recipe. From there, we'd receive it and simply post it onto the site, hopefully with very little/no editing involved. When the recipe(s) are posted, the author's name will be included at the top of the page, along with maybe some sort of optional method to contact the author.

Struts cookbook
Hi all, I am a huge fan of O'Reilly's "cookbooks", which seem to contain a good deal of useful material for doing all sorts of different things. Today I thought about the idea of making a Struts cookbook, although two things would be different from how O'Reilly does it: 1. It wouldn't be a published book, but rather a web site, and 2. I'm not going to be writing all of it With that in mind, I would like to ask all of you (who I have received some excellent advice from, by the way) if any of you would be interested in contributing material to such a web site. I simply don't have the time or experience to come up with everything, but I'm sure that collectively we could put something together that could be pretty slick. I could easily host the site, and perhaps simply organize all of the information I receive from you. I appreciate all the information already available with Struts, but I also like it when I can simply "look it up" and be done with it. I would like to see recipes posted there that cover everything from how to do stuff with tags, iBatis, tiles, and whatever else. Even delving into other stuff like web services and how that ties in with Struts would be good. I don't want to focus so much on concept as I would simply how to get something done quickly and easily. What do you think? Good idea? Dumb idea? I'm interested in your thoughts on such a thing.

Newbie needs help: Validator not working with Struts/Velocity
I'm fairly new to Struts, and have been trying to get my simple application to work - using Struts 1.1, Velocity 1.3.1, Velocity Tools 1.1-rc1, and Tomcat 4.1.29. The application (such as it is) works as far as presentation and workflow - but _isn't_ working is the Validator framework. I've spent the last day mining the web for help and haven't been able to progress at all... The validator files _are_ being loaded - I see them in the log files. And the rules/formset are being parsed - again, I see it in the log. However, when the form is submitted on the first page (payment.vm) and it goes to the second...no validation takes place. No errors are appearing in either the catalina.out or localhost log file. I have kicked up the log level to trace and still see nothing wrong - other than the validation doesn't seem to happen. Any help or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated - I'm rather stuck at the moment. I'm sure its just some silly configuration or other error... I'm including all the relevant files inline below.

LogonAction doesn't need junkbean. It only needs to forward to IndexAction, which it is doing.

Sure -- that's the only way it will work. I'll try to put everything
in order here, as I am doing it:
1. IndexAction (mapped to /home.do) puts data into the bean:
List users = service.viewAllPeople(birForm);
request.setAttribute("junkbean", users);
...and then returns index.jsp:
2. Within this index.jsp is a form, which is submitted to LoginAction.
3. When I submit the form to LoginAction and LoginAction is finished,
then I want to return the /home.do mapping, or display the index.jsp
screen again:
4. When I do this, I get the following error:
Cannot find bean junkbean in any scope
> If you go to access it and it is not there, then you must be

Ok, in IndexAction, I did put it in request scope, but that should work
because I only want it for this request, not necessarily for the entire
session. But in this case, does IndexAction even have access to the
request scope, or does LoginAction only have access to that (i.e.
IndexAction can't put junkbean in request scope)?

Yes.

It seems that request scope should be adaquate in this case, since I
only need it for the current request.

Okay dokay -- thanks! Let me know if that is a decent-enough

Returning fully-stocked Actions/JSPs from other Actions
Hi all, I'm working on a web app where I have my JSPs hidden beneath WEB-INF. In doing so, I of course have actions which RequestDispatch those pages to the user. In doing this I am running into a problem where beans in those returned JSPs are not getting updated when they are returned from other actions. For example, on my login screen lets say I have a bean "junkbean" that hold some data, which is loaded in LoginAction. That bean has data in it when I call /login.do directly. When I complete a form on that screen and submit it to /update.do, I would like to return the user to the /login.do screen. But when I do that, "junkbean" is nowhere to be found, as if the action behind /login.do is not doing anything. But, if I call /login.do directly, then "junkbean" is there with all it's data. How can I get my action behind /index.do (or any similar action that gets data, then RequestDispatches a JSP back to the user) to execute so that I can have my updated beans present? If this is not the ideal way to do it, what would be a better design for doing this sort of thing? Essentially I want to hide all my JSPs behind WEB-INF, but I would still like to have them updated after I submit forms and return action paths, which load those JSPs. Thanks so much for your help, and I look forward to receiving your advice. Andy - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Starting time-consuming jobs early
Hi all, It looks like I am going to be involved with a project where the goal is to gather a bunch of product information from multiple databases, and then mix-n-match (a highly-technical term there) all that data to ultimately generate some metrics charts. It seems that making this a web application would be good here becuase several groups within this company X can then share this information. But since it will take so long to get the results, I'm wondering if there is some sort of way using servlets or whatever that I can have this job kick off at maybe midnight on Friday night so that all the data will be freshly available on Monday morning when it would be needed. I've considered maybe using a cron job to fire off a Perl script to do all the work, and then load the database with the data that would be replaced each week. But, I'd be interested in knowing if I could have it setup some slick way with Struts/Servlets/etc. Thanks, Andy - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Calling JSPs directly
Hi all, I'm working with a web application in which I have multiple pages of information, currently located in PHP files.

I would like to have these JSPs available for direct access because I want to make it easy for users of this application to bookmarks whatever pages they're interested in going back to from time to time. Each page will have a form, which will be submitted to a Struts action when submitted, and then from there I want the action to update the database, then return the same, updated JSP to the user. I'm wondering if making JSPs available to the user in this manner is a poor practice, and if so, what would be a better way of doing it?

iteration and EL help needed
This is the problem I am trying to solve.
I want to submit a DynaValidatorForm with multiple hidden/text inputs that
have the same name. This is a list of items and quantities that I am trying
to update with one submit (e.g. itemId, quantity). Is this what the
'indexed' input attribute is supposed to help with? Will the validator
understand how to apply the rule for itemId to every indexed instance of
itemId? Will DynaValidatorForm receive an array of itemIds and quantities?
Since the items are stored in a collection, I want to iterate over them,
outputting the input fields. With c:forEach, I get an exception that the
indexed attribute is not supported. With logic-el:iterate, I get a name
attribute that looks like
name="org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN[1].itemId" - that doesn't look
right at all.
I am using Struts 1.1rel (and the struts-el JAR in the contrib dir) with
JSTL 1.0 in Resin 2.x.x.
Has anyone seen behavior like this and know how I can fix it?
Or am I barking up the wrong tree trying to submit my form in this fashion?
Here's a bit of the JSP code...
<%--c:forEach var="item" items="${context_tray.items}" varStatus="idx"--%>
<%--/c:forEach--%>

I found that the problem was actually do to reloading the bean with the data from the database each time I was loading a page. Each time I wanted to go through the data I was hitting the database, which was causing the delay. The way I worked around it is that in my action class I am checking what the query string is that I am passing in. If the query string is null, then that means that I am probably not doing any of the fancy stuff with displaytag, such as sorting, going through the pages, etc. So, if that query string is null, that is when I am hitting the database, loading the data into a bean, and shleping that into the session scope. If there is a query string, I just stick with what I already have in the bean. One of the other members of this mailing list (Zoran Avtarovski) suggested that I look into the use of iBatis, which I got more into today. I am going to figure out how I can get all that to work, which Zoran suggested would probably take care of the problem in addition to making it a more efficient solution. Anyway, to answer your question, I don't have the same results when I work without hitting the database. It's only when I hit the database multiple times that I get the delay, which is due to our database server being overloaded with so much junk. I wish (the company I work for) would spend some money and get us some new servers that can handle the load! They did just get us dualies with a gig of memory, which was nice though.

I have an ArrayList of objects that I am getting from the database, which I am placing in session scope when I get the list built. From there, I am eventually sending that back to the JSP, which uses the displaytag to show the results. For the first three pages I load (of maybe five pages of results), it seems to work well, but then when I click on pages after the second or third click, it seems that there is a delay of maybe 10 seconds in getting the subsequent pages of results to load. It seems like this should be pretty quick, right? After all, my data is already loaded, it's set as a session value, and I shouldn't have to go back to the database and pickup all the data again. I am using Tomcat 5.0.14 with Oracle 8.1.7. Any help provided would of course be very much appreciated. Have a great day.

jstl & error messages
Hi, Does any one know how to display individual error messages created via the validator or my actions using jstl? I guess its along the lines of the above but i am missing something? cant seems to find the answer to this one on the archives? thanks Andy - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: form validation question
Looks like there is a functional change or bug in the action input attribute in Struts 1.1 - a forward name must be used instead of the location of a JSP or Action. Not sure why this change happened between 1.1RC and 1.1rel - maybe someone on the Struts dev team can answer? -Original Message- From: Andy Kriger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2004 2:46 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: form validation question I am having a curious problem with form validation.

It didn't make any difference if I used an action or the JSP for the input

Ok, maybe, I'd have to check into struts code to really be

RE: form validation question
orderForm was extending DynaValidatorForm. I changed this to DynaValidatorActionForm - now the form validates (though it shouldn't - there's a required field missing).

Simple tags (aka "tag files") with Struts
Hi all,
I'm trying to incorporate tag files into my Struts application, but I'm
running into the problem of the attributes and tag body not being
displayed within the JSP calling the tag file. The regular HTML from
the tag file is being included, but the attributes, such as ${color},
are not being replaced with their proper values, nor is the body
Here is my tag, areaBox.tag, simplified:
<%@ attribute name="color" %>
<%@ attribute name="title" %>
${title}
Next, here is my JSP that is calling the tag file:
<%@ taglib prefix="tags" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" %>
...
This is the body of my area box.
When the page loads, my HTML is shown, but ${color} and ${title} appear
just like they are defined in tag file, ${color} and ${title}. And my
tag body "This is the body of my area box." in this case, is not being
included either.
How do I correct this problem? Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
Andy

No, you should be able to do both. I was just saying that if you had
counted on datePattern functionality, and you switch to
datePatternStrict, you may get slightly different results as they are

The javascript should work, yes. I haven't tried this with serverside
validation though. DatePattern works (or is supposed to work)
differently than datePatternStrict, so be aware that if you were

RE: Date validation problem?
datePattern doesn't work -- you must use datePatternStrict unless you
modify the javascript validation function.
This line is where the pattern is loaded:
var datePattern = oDate[x][2]("datePatternStrict");
Notice that it's loading datePatternStrict instead of datePattern from
the oDate object. The validation function completely ignores the
datePattern var you defined in the xml.
You're getting the error because it's trying to load from the
datePatternStrict var which isn't defined, so the javascript datePattern
var isn't a valid object.

I'm testing the JavaScript validation for my form and noticed that the

can see in Firebird's JavaScript console. Here's the error:
datePattern has no properties
and here's the line it occurs on:
for (x in oDate) {
var value = form[oDate[x][0]].value;

function DateValidations () {
this.aa = new Array("theStartDate", "Availability Start Date is not

return this[varName];"));
this.ab = new Array("theEndDate", "Availability End Date is not a
valid date.", new Function ("varName", "this.datePattern='MM/dd/yy';
return this[varName];"));
}
And in my validation.xml file, the following is defined:
datePattern
${defaultDate}
datePattern
${defaultDate}
Where ${defaultDate} is a global defined as:
defaultDate
MM/dd/yy
From what I can see in DateValidations(), it looks like the var-value
is being picked up correctly ... so, I'm at a bit of a loss on this. Is
this a know bug in Struts 1.1?
Also, does using DynaValidatorForm with validation.xml and such *only*
do JavaScript validation or is server-side validation performed as well?
It'd be a nice bonus to have server-side validation, to prevent corrupt
or malicious submittals, but that may require a custom ActionForm?!

Accessing PlugIn config information
Hi all,
I am wondering if there is a clean(er) way to get PlugIn configuration
information out of struts-config.xml. I have written a PlugIn that
gets this information, but it seems somewhat convoluted. First I get
all the PlugInConfigs, then I loop through that array of PlugInConfig
objects until I find the one that matches the current PlugIn I'm
working with. Next, I set that value as my PlugIn index and get the
properties from there. While this works, it seems like I am getting it
almost "by hook or by crook", and I'm wondering if there is a more
elegant way to do it. I'm not sure I like the use of the "for" loop;
it seems there should be a way to just directly access the PlugIn's
config info right away. The code snippet I'm using is below.
Thanks for any advice!
Andy
---
Here's that code snippet:
// Get all the PlugIn configs, for every plugin
PlugInConfig allPluginConfigs[] = config.findPlugInConfigs();
// This goes through all the Plugin configs and looks for the
// plugin config for this class.
for(int i = 0; i < allPluginConfigs.length; i++) {
if(allPluginConfigs[i].getClassName().equals("com.andyengle.struts.app.WhateverPlugin"))
{
pluginConfigIndex = i;
break;
}
}
// Get the properties for this PlugIn and shlep them into a map.
thisConfigMap = allPluginConfigs[pluginConfigIndex].getProperties();
// Finally, access the config information that was set in struts-config
String value1 = (String) thisConfigMap.get("val1_str");
String value2 = (String) thisConfigMap.get("val2_str");

Hi all, I am writing a web application in which I would like to have a custom tag that shows some HTML (using some Struts-Form tags) if the tag evaluates to true.

Now that I know a little more about Struts, I am able to decipher some of the stuff in there, but there is still a lot more to learn. I also found it useful to experiment with Struts in the Eclipse IDE (which is superior to Netbeans, IMHO), and also refer to this page to get started with Eclipse: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/faqs/eclipse.html It seems that Eclipse points out problem areas to you before you even compile, which is pretty useful. Finally, working with the Struts example application is helpful, and also referring to the other example applications that are on the Struts web site.

I tried to use LazyList but I couldn't just put the class in the form definitions (I'm

you just have to extend arraylist and place the new class directly in Form definition.

Andy,
Check out

With a lazy list, if you try and get using an index that is greater than
the size of the list, then it will return an empty object instead of

The reason you get the null pointer exception is that the
"inventoryList" property in your DynaActionForm is created empty. The
exception occurs when Struts tries to populate
inventoryList[0].startNumber or inventoryList[0].endNumber.
Even though I haven't used the DynaActionForm, I know that it will have
the same limitations/requirements for populating indexed properties as
an ActionForm. I know that some folks use a LazyList for processing
their indexed properties. Perhaps that will help you.
The reason you don't get the exception with the name iList is that
struts makes no attempt to populate the ArrayList in your
DynaActionForm.
Can't provide an answer...but I can see the why to your problem Nick

Please respond to
"Struts Users
Mailing List"
I apologize in advance if this comes through twice. Our email server
was having issues this morning, so I'm resending it in case it didn't
make it out the first time. Thanks! I am attempting to do something
similar to what has been posted here in the current Struts application
that I'm working on. I'm using a DynaValidatorForm in request scope,
iterating through a dynamically generated ArrayList that I've put into
the DynaValidatorForm, and then attempting to pass it through request
scope using indexed properties. The page displays perfectly, but when I
try to submit it, I get the following
error:
[Servlet Error]-[BeanUtils.populate]: java.lang.NullPointerException: No
indexed value for 'inventoryList[0]' at
org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm.get(DynaActionForm.java:293)
at
org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.getIndexedProperty(PropertyUt
ils.java:474)
Here are some snippets of code:
>From the ActionClass that populates the .JSP:
ArrayList itemRanges = itemCDTO.getItemRanges(); //returns an ArrayList
of ItemRange beans form.set("inventoryList", itemRanges); From
struts-config.xml:
From the JSP:
An interesting thing I noticed when I change the code
in the JSP like this:
then I don't
get the error. But of course, when I do an (ArrayList)
form.get("inventoryList"), it returns an empty List to the Action class.
I can, however, bypass the DynaValidatorForm and directly query the
HttpServletRequest object and pull the individual components by doing a
request.getParameter("iList[0].startNumber"), which is extremely clunky.
I'm sure I must be missing something stupid. If anyone can shed some
light, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! Brent

Richard graciously replied off-list with a similar response. I remember reading documentation which stated that when using dynamic arrays with DynaForms, it is necessary to place the DynaForm in session scope. However, I 'm almost positive that someone (Matt? Mark?) mentioned on this list that they were able to pass an ArrayList through a DynaForm in request scope. For a variety of reasons, I'm not too eager to put the entire formbean in the session for the sake of propogating one ArrayList attribute. If Matt or Mark or anyone else has some insights to share regarding how they were able to get this to work in request scope, I'd be very grateful to hear.

The reason you get the null pointer exception is that the
"inventoryList" property in your DynaActionForm is created empty. The
exception occurs when Struts tries to populate
inventoryList[0].startNumber or inventoryList[0].endNumber.
Even though I haven't used the DynaActionForm, I know that it will have
the same limitations/requirements for populating indexed properties as
an ActionForm. I know that some folks use a LazyList for processing
their indexed properties. Perhaps that will help you.
The reason you don't get the exception with the name iList is that
struts makes no attempt to populate the ArrayList in your
DynaActionForm.
Can't provide an answer...but I can see the why to your problem Nick

Please respond to

I apologize in advance if this comes through twice. Our email server
was having issues this morning, so I'm resending it in case it didn't
make it out the first time. Thanks! I am attempting to do something
similar to what has been posted here in the current Struts application
that I'm working on. I'm using a DynaValidatorForm in request scope,
iterating through a dynamically generated ArrayList that I've put into
the DynaValidatorForm, and then attempting to pass it through request
scope using indexed properties. The page displays perfectly, but when I
try to submit it, I get the following
error:
[Servlet Error]-[BeanUtils.populate]: java.lang.NullPointerException: No
indexed value for 'inventoryList[0]' at
org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm.get(DynaActionForm.java:293)
at
org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.getIndexedProperty(PropertyUt

>From the ActionClass that populates the .JSP:
ArrayList itemRanges = itemCDTO.getItemRanges(); //returns an ArrayList
of ItemRange beans form.set("inventoryList", itemRanges); From
struts-config.xml:
From the JSP:
An interesting thing I noticed when I change the code
in the JSP like this:
then I don't
get the error. But of course, when I do an (ArrayList)
form.get("inventoryList"), it returns an empty List to the Action class.
I can, however, bypass the DynaValidatorForm and directly query the
HttpServletRequest object and pull the individual components by doing a
request.getParameter("iList[0].startNumber"), which is extremely clunky.
I'm sure I must be missing something stupid. If anyone can shed some
light, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! Brent

RE: Validation: Problem with datePattern and JavaScript
It looks like the following line of code (in the date validator rule in
validator-rules.xml) loads the pattern:
var datePattern = oDate[x][2]("datePatternStrict");
As far as I can tell, nothing is ever loaded for plain "datePattern",
and this matches up with my experiences of using datePattern (i.e.
"datePattern" doesn't do any validation at all)
I haven't tried this, but it should probably be an easy fix to check if
oDate[x][2]("datePattern") has a value and load that into datePattern.

JavaScript validation of indexed properties
Hello, I'm using Struts 1.1, and I have a jsp that is using indexed fields that I need to validate using javascript. It seems as though the struts validator just ignores javascript validations on my fields completely! For example, if it is the only field that uses a particular validator, say integer, an "IntegerValidations()" javascript initializer function is generated, but it has no content. Is there anyway to do javascript validation with the struts validator? Other javascript validations work properly. I can write a custom validator if that would work, but I'd rather not if I don't have to. Thanks, Andy Here's the relevant form definition from struts-config: ... ...

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.

Validator datePattern difficulties
Hello, For my webapp I need to make sure a date is in the form 'mm/dd/yy', but I haven't been able to achieve this with the struts validator (I only need the javascript to work for now). All the examples I can find use 'MM/dd/' or 'MM-dd-'. If I switch to one of these and put in a 4 char date, then it validates ok, but I need to validate on the 2 char date, not 4. Is this doable with the struts validator? This is my validation definition: datePatternStrict MM/dd/yy If I switch to datePattern (rather than datePatternStrict) it lets anything at all through! That's definitely not what I want either. Thanks, Andy - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Problems with Modules stored under WEB-INF - H E L P !
Hi all,
I have a problem accessing modules when stored under WEB-INF, accessing
modules stored under / seems OK, but modules stored under /WEB-INF seem
to be unable to link correctly to actions that ought to be available
within that modules context.
I've got 'modules' running when stored under the root of the app, e.g.
/module1, with necessary configuration in web.xml:
{web.xml ...}
config/module1
WEB-INF/module1-struts-config.xml
I believe action mappings would require a prefix, such as:
{struts-config ...}
This appears to be all hunky-dory, I can switch into 'module1' perform
actions and switch back to the root application.
Moving on to storing the pages under the WEB-INF folder, I believe I'll
have:
{web.xml ...}
config/WEB-INF/modules/module2
WEB-INF/module2-struts-config.xml
{struts-config ...}
I'm using WSAD 5.0, which seems to imply that the in the
web.xml file must point to where the actual jsp files are. This results
in tag output that includes the '/WEB-INF/modules/module2'
prefix, which naturally breaks. I've tried making the tag
'module2' rather than 'WEB-INF/modules/module2', but this seems to make
WSAD think that the actions are not present in the module.
Securing the /module2 folder structure? It's a possibility but I haven't
been able to block access to that either...
Does anyone have modules running, with JSP stored under /WEB-INF !!
Thanks for feedback!

navigable search results
Hi everyone, I want to display my search results in a similar fashion to google, with a navigable menu at the bottom. I know this is possible but i am not sure what to re-search for to get some ideas of how to do this with struts? Anyone have any ideas or a key word i can search the struts archives for? thanks Andy - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
lists & c:forEach & struts-el html:link
hi I use RowSetDynaClass to get my results from a db then i add these rows to a List via getRows(). The list is then returned to my jsp page which is using jstl and struts-el. I would like to use c:forEach to iterate over the list and print out the variables. Within the loop i would like to use struts-el html:link as follows... Does anyone know if what i am trying to do is possible as i keep getting errors??

Re: login request + ActionServlet RequestProcessor Action
Hi david I spent a little to much allocated time on this so I had to move on, and I am going to come back to it at a later date. I have a quick 'hack' (a taglib which checks the session in each jsp) for my prototype to present to the client..Anyway, when i do it i will let you know. What i have found so far though is that by using declarative exception handling in my struts-config.xml the error, i think, needs to be thrown from a action class. If i could do it from my requestProcessor that would be great? I wasnt sure how to configure my app to call processRoles() on evey request, so i overrode the locale method as a test as this was been called eveytime. However because the locale method dosnt throw any exceptions i again ran into problems. So overall what i really would like to do would be to extend requestProcessor with my own custom method which throws my own exception which will be redirected to the appropriate page and called on every request. Sounds easy and probably is to someone who has a better understanding of stuts than i do? Anyway wont give up and will let you know if you are interested? Bank holiday this monday!! so a long relaxing weekend is due before i crack on with this one ; ) cheers Andy On Friday 22 Aug 2003 4:21 pm, you wrote: > Andy, > > Did you get processRoles to work for you? > How do you redirect to the (error) page of > your choice in it? > > Thanks, > David > > -Original Message- > From: Andy Richards [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2003 9:55 AM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: Re: login request + ActionServlet RequestProcessor Action > > > Hmm > > Strugling a bit with this one now.??

GenericDataSource best practise?
Hi, currently I have something like the code below on every action, is
this the normal way of getting the connection? And how would normal
people do if they want to make some data access objects, which contain
all the methods like insert, select etc, while the Action class will
purely do logic, for example only contain this kind of statements:
HashMap hmResult = dataAccess.getAllClients(); Thanks.
public ActionForward perform(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
ServletContext context = servlet.getServletContext();
try {
DataSource dataSource =
(DataSource)context.getAttribute(Action.DATA_SOURCE_KEY);
Connection conn = dataSource.getConnection();
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM aTable");
while(rs.next()) {
//...
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return (mapping.findForward("xxx"));
}

Re: login request + ActionServlet RequestProcessor Action
Hi After deciding which approach to take and reading a few of my struts books about the controller object ; ) I am now confused as which is the most appropriate class to extend to perform my login functionality. David suggests extending the base action class, however i have read that the RequestProcessor class was added to struts1.1 to extend the ActionServlet. From what i can see this class handles all requests and one of its methods calls the appropriate action. Therefore which would be the better class to extend ActionServlet, RequestProcessor or Action. Any ideas.? thanks Andy On Wednesday 20 Aug 2003 2:41 pm, David G. Friedman wrote: > Dear Andy, > > I'm doing the same thing you suggest.

Re: login request
Thank you ... I would liked to have used a filter as this was my first idea, however my clients app must be deployed onto their raq550 server which supports only tomcat 3. I believe only tomcat 4 supports filters(or the servlet spec it uses)? I believe i will follow davids example and extend the base action class as this seems to be my only option. This dosnt seem as elegent as a filter but does seems to be the most elegent alternative thanks david : ), unless anyone else has any better ideas?

Problem on displaying table keys, please help
When I try to display a value from the action form, I use tag, it is fine for Strings, dates etc, but it is not for tables keys, such as: which will give me 1,2,3,4 etc. I have some HashMap in the servletContext already, they contain the content of these small tables. Would someone please suggest me an easy way of doing this? Thanks Andy
login request
Hi, i have created a form and a action which checks to see if a user exists in my database and if so a value object is placed into the session. What i am unsure of is how to a action called everytime a request is made? Can i configure struts-config.xml to send all requests via an action to see if this session object exists, and if not redirect the user to the login page? many thanks Andy -- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: database - bean - form, what is the best way to do it?
Basically I am just wondering if the process can be a bit more interesting. I always: 1. Get values from the JSPs and the values (Strings) are used to set the ActionForm ie String to String copying. 2. In the Action class, I get the values from the ActionForm, and convert them to the appropriate types, and insert them into beans using the beans' setter methods. 3. From the objects I have, I will write PreparedStatements (with many ?? in the SQL), and set the values in the order of the question marks. I have to do this for INSERT, and UPDATE. On the reverse, I have to get the data from database, getting values from ResultSets, and insert into beans, then from the beans I feed them back to the JSPs for display. This is a very boring thing to do, and it does not require much skill as well. I am just wondering if there is a way of speeding up: 1. Conversion between ActionForm (Strings) to Beans (Typed) 2. Generate ActionForms 3. Generate the fields in the the JSPs 4. Generate the SQL statements. I know I am being very very greedy here, but if there is no other way than being a typist for days, I would rather write a small program to do all these. I have read Castor JDO could help generating code, but I have to read and understand more before I know if it is helping me.

Thanks Take a look at the struts-example webapp. I do this same thing in my Struts app-- load from the database into a bean, then use BeanUtils.copyProperties(...) to move the values over to the form, then display it. I use Dynamic forms, so the form properties are defined in struts-config.xml, which gets me out of writing the get/set methods for the form bean.

If I remove the datasource from the struts-config the error goes away (of course cannot connect to a datasource but the jsp comes up). In versions RC1 or earlier the problem does not exist. The main difference from RC2,1.1 Final and earlier versions starting from RC1 is (from release notes): In RC2, the Commons-DBCP and Commons-Pool dependencies have been removed. These are replaced with a dependency on the Struts-Legacy package, containing the GenericDataSource and GenericConnection classes from Struts 1.0.2. These are distributed for J2SE 1.3 but may be recompiled for J2SE 1.4. Other DataSource implementations may be plugged in (recommended). RC2 is dependent upon Commons FileUpload RC1. The final release of Struts 1.1 cannot happen until this dependency is updated to a final release of FileUpload. All other dependencies are in their final release. Other changes since RC1 have been routine fixes and refactorings. I have tried using DBCP and General methods of connecting using the mysql driver and both will not work. The RC2 and Struts Final 1.1 work fine in Tomcat 4.1 but do not work in Resin. I am using J2SE 1.4 on Tomcat and Resin Any suggestions?

You *do* need taglib directive(s) in your JSP: <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"; %> <%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt"; %> <%@ taglib prefix="sql" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/sql"; %> <%@ taglib prefix="x" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/xml"; %> Quoting Andy Kriger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I downloaded the JSTL from Sun. In the tld directory there are 2 TLDs for > each taglib. > > Example: c.tld and c-rt.tld > > Do I need to copy both of these to my WEB-INF dir? > Do I need to reference both of these in the JSP <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> directive? > > thx > andy -- Kris Schneider <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> D.O.Tech <http://www.dotech.com/> - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
