RE: Best practices - help

2003-06-24 Thread Chris Reeves 
Something I do often is create a servlet that is loaded at app startup that
loads and populates a variety of objects that I need for general use in its
init method.

If I can't guarantee that users will always use a single point of entry
(never the case in a content-heavy site), I avoid depending on a single
action to do app-wide heavy lifting.

For whatever that's worth - probably a worst practice...

 This is something we do that works extremely well.  The path on the
 global-forward/ can point to a set up action where you can initialize /
 populate all of those things that you application needs.  The set
 up action
 would then forward to your first .JSP or tile definition.

 have a welcome jsp page that redirects to your action:

 struts-config.xml:

   global-forwards
 forward name=welcome path=/myaction.do/
   /global-forwards

 index.jsp:

   %@ taglib uri=http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-logic;
 prefix=logic %
   logic:redirect forward=welcome/

 (that's the whole jsp file, not just a snippet!)

apache proxy/form action rewrite issue

2003-06-23 Thread Chris Reeves 
I have a web app using struts that runs under tomcat, behind an apache
server using mod proxy.

My web app works exactly as expected when run directly against tomcat, but
fails when I attempt to use actions behind apache.

For instance, my app (let's call it thing1) has a form at
/contact/index.jsp.

The action in the form, after being rewritten by struts, becomes
/thing1/contact/contact.do.

Is there any way to get around this? I don't want to throw more rules at the
apache server, and I see no way (short of rewriting the from action with
javascript on the client) to get rid of the rewriting (at least, I've found
no way thus far).

Any ideas? I've been banging my head on this one for a while now... I have
some apps in struts 1.0 that just don't seem to suffer from this issue.

Thanks!

Chris

Are you referring to the action forward? I can put a redirect=true there,
but it has no effect on rendering the form action. Or am I missing
something?

 The magic ingredient here is to set redirect=true in the
 struts-config.xml for the individual form mappings. -Dirck
