LabelValueBean

[CyberZombie]

I'm getting a deserialization error in Tomcat during a reinit pointing 
to LabelValueBean.  Checking out the current CVS source, I note that it 
doesn't implement Serializable.  Is there a reason why it doesn't 
implement this?

Re: use of nested:iterate and nested:nest tags

[CyberZombie]

FWIW (too lazy to reply on the original thread), thanks for fixing the 
nested:link tag.  And I'm getting ready to start extending the nested 
tags in my custom link tags as they're just too darn useful to not use...

Heh...I didn't reply as I saw nothing wrong with it and didn't count 
myself advanced enough in the ins-and-outs of nested to guess outside of

Problem with struts20020112.zip and JDK1.4

[CyberZombie]

This nightly build (before the big change) has included some commons 
components.  However, it does not include commons-logging.  When used 
with JDK1.4, I get a NoSuchMethodError from the commons Digester into 
the Log looking for setLevel(I)V.  Looking at the CVS for 
commons-logging, I note that a large change was made to that interface 
on 1/17.

Is there an easy way to retrieve the state of the commons logging 
facility as it existed on 1/12?  Or do I need to get/configure CVS so I 
can check out a copy for that date and build it myself (and dependancies?)

Re: Development Environment

[CyberZombie]

Trying not to cheer too much (just a satisfied user), Cygwin is a 
complete *nix environment that runs as a Windows process.  I love 
symbolic links, mounts, gcc, perl, awk and all the other tools -- 
especially the bash shell.  And I run it on every PC I use -- office and 
home.  At home I have sshd (secure shell daemon - part of OpenSSH which 
is included in Cygwin) and have no problems punching through any 
corporate firewall to not only access my home PC, but (with the help of 
TightVNC) bring up my home desktop remotely.

I like to think of Cygwin as a way of getting to me the most powerful 
open source tools on the planet while still letting me use all of the 
GUI tools I want when I have need for something more visual...

Always forgetting something (rather remembering after reading other 
follow-ups).  Add to the mix TogetherJ (analysis and design,) EJBGen 
(EJB 2.0 CMP, Session facades and Value Object creation) and some 
home-grown tools for decorating the VO's in Struts Forms...

I guess I just am having a "lack-of-understanding" problem with regards 
to nested:link then.  When I use the "this/", I still can't get the HREF 
to be correctly generated.  Given the following:







What is the proper combination (or incantation) of attributes that will 
append to the page link the query "?transactionKey=1001" (or whatever 
the current iteration value for transaction.getTransactionKey() is)?

Stumped with nested iterator and nested link

[CyberZombie]

I have a Collection of transactions that I want to be able to provide 
HREFs to.  What I'm looking to do is create a bunch of references, each 
with their own query tag -- i.e., 
"/do/secure/viewTrans?transactionKey=1001".  The following doesn't die 
(both the property and paramProperty tags must be specified or the 
nested:link tag dies with a null pointer exception on lines 96, 97 
respectively).  But it only produces "/do/secure/viewTrans" -- no query.


  

  

  

  

  


I suspect this has to do with the nested library not being able to 
return a reference to the current name as a property.  I'll probably 
just write my own nested tag that can handle the links as I see fit. 
 Does anyone have any other suggestions?  Note:  Manipulating the 
Collection as an Array (IMHO) is not a good solution -- and the nested 
iterator is already pointing at the current transaction.

Re: Form -> Bean conversion

[CyberZombie]

Here's a rudimentary wrapper tool.  The commented out section is used 
when wrapping for Struts 1.0.x -- 1.1 does a much better job there.  I 
still have hardcoded the file masks (I assume all VO's end in 
Value.java).  And I assume that all wrapped getters have corresponding 
setters.  What can I say...I got lazy when I got it working and went 
back to solving the business problems on this app... :)

Re: Using tag around tag. Is it legal?

[CyberZombie]

When I ran into that issue, I just used two action mappings --
"/editUser" to initialize the form (including an action property that
identified add vs. edit) and forward that to the .jsp. And in the .jsp
form tag I used "/storeEditUser" to process the results.

Re: ActionForm Defaults/Updates Question

[CyberZombie]

I'm still on my first Struts application, so bear with me...

I'm using EJBGen to generate all my Entity beans (only local interfaces) 
and Session beans (facades with remote interfaces).  One nice byproduct 
of EJBGen is that it also generates Value Objects for each Entity bean 
(I use hand-coded Assemblers to transfer between Value Objects and 
Entity beans).

I wrote a simple little Java program to take as input a directory of 
Value Objects and output Struts Form Beans using the delagation pattern. 
 I currently hardcode the name as (UserValue -> UserFormBase).  This 
provides the necessary extending of the Struts Form (though I extend my 
own BaseForm), but provides no additional functionality (ex: States 
Collection for a dropdown, additional attributes used in the GUI to 
provide information used by the Action and/or Session bean, map a 
particular ValueObject in the parent VO's Collection to another 
attribute for easier GUI manipulation).  So almost all of my *FormBase 
classes are extended by *Form classes to provide that functionality.

I use reset() to provide all 'best guess' defaults.  Within reset(), I 
do not do any checks as to the input path, etc. -- strictly stateless 
initialization.  All other defaults initialization is either done by the 
Session bean by the return of the VO to my form 
(form.setValueObject(vo)), or by statefull modification of attributes in 
the form.

I currently do validation both in the form and action classes -- and 
don't like the way my form validation has gained some statefull tests. 
 I'll likely refactor that back into the action class and only keep 
domain validation in the form (haven't yet had time to review the 
commons validator package).

struts-nested defining a root

[CyberZombie]

I have an action that creates a form and forwards that to a display-only 
page.  After struggling many hours trying NOT to use an , I 
gave up.  Issues:

1.   needs more than just name.  It should include full 
scope/property semantics.
2.  ,  et.al. don't like 
scope/name/property in the absence of a defined root.

Possible fixes:

1.  Provide a master 'root' that lives one level above the form 
defination.  As  entries appear, make them peers of the 
form.
2.  Implement a root stack   Nesting off of an arbitrary bean pushes the 
root onto the stack and defines a new root.
