Add blank option to select

[Bredesen, Chris - NA US HQ Delray]

Hi All,

I have a proprietary table object which I expose to html:options via an
adaptor class that extends AbstractList.  The List implementation gives
collection-like random access to my proprietary object which is then used to
build a select box.

What I need is to add a blank option to the select that is not present in my
data.  Since my List implementation is just an adaptor, and not a new data
structure, I cannot just add another member.  I tried doing a Union in my
SQL query to tack on a blank record but the crap DB API won't have it.

Any way to do with Struts 1.0.2?  I guess extending the OptionsTag (haven't
worked this one out in my head yet but I assume it would be fairly
straightforward) is the way to go, but if anyone has another way, I'm all
ears.

Thanks,

Chris

[FRIDAY] The Frog and the Engineer

[Bredesen, Chris - NA US HQ Delray]

An engineer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and
said, "If you kiss me, I`ll turn into a beautiful princess".

He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.

The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a
beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week."

The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it
to the pocket.

The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess,
I`ll marry you!"

Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his
pocket.

Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I`ve told you I`m a beautiful
princess, that I`ll marry you. Why won`t you kiss me?"

The engineer said, "Look I`m an engineer. I don`t have time for a
girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that`s cool."

RE: one desing question, need help

[Bredesen, Chris - NA US HQ Delray]

Put me down for the Util class approach.  We make a habit out of doing the
heavy lifting in a logic layer which is accessed via static calls or a
Singleton instance depending on the need.  I don't like to see 2000 line
Action classes full of business logic because it doesn't let us move that
logic around without making tidal waves in the app.  If we ever want to
implement something in a filter or some other layer that doesn't exist yet,
we simply need to call out to the util classes that are already coded &
tested.

IIRC, this will return the OS username only if basic authentication has been

Perhaps I've musunderstood what action chaining is then?

[Newbie] ActionForm prepopulation

[Bredesen, Chris - NA US HQ Delray]

Hi group,

There's one general struts concept that I haven't fully gotten my arms
around yet.  I'm trying to design without using action chaining, but I have
the following scenario:

- JSP posts to an action which accesses a form bean and does some business
logic
- The next JSP in the process has a DIFFERENT form bean on it, and values on
that one must be prepopulated using ... another action?

This would cause JSP -> .do -> .do -> JSP which we know is bad.

So then do I pre-pop my Form bean values in the ActionForm constructor?  As
member variables?  What happens when reset() is called ... how do I make
sure they return to their proper initial values upon reset?

Thanks for participating,

Chris

RE: Broadvision 6.0 and context-relative path in form mappings

[Bredesen, Chris - NA US HQ Delray]

Hi all,

I'm composing this message as a reply to an archived one in hopes that it
will help tracking and/or cause any potential helpers to recall the inital
discussion...

We had the same problem as described in this original message:

http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg15172.html

We overcame this in Struts 1.0 by overriding the getActionMappingURL()
method on the FormTag class and all was well.  In Struts 1.1 (I'm using beta
3), said method has been factored out into the RequestUtils class and is
called explicitly in a few places within FormTag.  This leaves me no way
that I can see to override the method.

The bottom line is that what SHOULD be "/some-action.do" actualy needs to be
posted to "/cgi-bin/bvisapi.dll/some-action.do" and since BV's crippled
version of Tomcat has no knowledge of this, it fails to report the full &
proper servletPath including the ISAPI DLL information.

Is there another way around this?  How are other Struts/BV users coping?  I
checked the BV Broadway example which uses struts and there is no occurance
of "html:form" so I can't use them as an example.

Modifying the Struts base code would work but that's a cheap hack and leaves
us open to problems when future versions of Struts are released.  I would
like to move to Struts 1.1 because of the nifty html:optionsCollection
support.

TIA,

Chris

PS - I would never expect Craig or Ted to support this -- I'm asking other
BV users for ideas.  If I get something solid, I'll post a HOWTO.
