RE: stop user from clicking the submit button twice

[Dan Payne]

"Summary
Struts, from the Apache Jakarta Project, implements
the Synchronizer Token pattern to prevent duplicate
form submission. Applying this pattern, you can detect
this situation and follow an alternate course of
action when it happens. But which alternate action? In
most cases, the best solution would be to simply
recover the first submit's result. This tip suggests a
simple strategy to achieve that goal. (750 words;

Need help forming Response object

[Dan Payne]

I would like to be able to construct a HTTP POST
response and send it to a specific server. This would
be outside of a typical client request/response chain.


What is happening (perhaps there is a better way to do
this?) is a new user signs up for a member account on
our website. The form is processed and the user data
is saved to the database. If at registration time the
user indicates they would like to sign up for our
mailing list (as most do) then I need to send an HTTP
POST response to our third-party email list provider
with the user's information. The email list provider
has a sign-up form on their site customized for my
list but we don't want the user to have to basicaly
input the data twice, once on my site and once on the
email list provider site. So this response i'd like to
construct will be sent to the URL shown in the form's
ACTION parameter. 

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

I really appreciate it guys.

RE: [OT] HTML Select box

[Dan Payne]

Hey Jerry,

You can achieve this by placing your down arrow button
next to your single-line select box. In the button's
onClick parameter, call a javascript method that
change's the elements size attribute from 1 to 10 or
whatever. That should do the trick. You'll probably
want to code the method so that a subsequent click on
the button will reduce the select box back to size=1
as well as change the button's label appropriately.

If you're unsure how to do this lemme know and perhaps
I can throw the code together for you.

Thanks to everyone who responded.  Let me clarify on
this:  If I set my
 to use a size=?? and set
multiple="true", I can indeed select
multiple options.  The problem is, when I set the size
parameter to
something like 10, I end up with a 10 items displayed
in a rather large box
(I know, this is how it works!).  What I would rather
have (and maybe I
simply can't do it) is to have a single line displayed
with a 'down arrow'
(like what you would get without using the
multiple="true" and with
size="1").  When you clicked on the down arrow, the
box would expand
downward, and the user would then be able to select
multiple options by
holding down the CTRL key.  Submitting the selection
would send all of the
selected options to my Action.

Does this make any more sense?

Ben,

So is the bug in Opera or Struts? This problem is
extremely annoying. Also, do you mind posting your
work around?

Thanks,

HI Dan,

That would make sense, in my browsered enlightenment I

I have the same problem but ONLY with Opera 7.2x

I'm using Struts 1.1 and with Opera 7.1 everything
worked fine. The formFile field could be left blank.
When I upgraded to 7.2 it began to throw a argument
type mismatch when the formFile field was left blank.
Could this be the source of your problem? Everything
still works fine with IE. Here's the stack trace:

Duh. I forget what it's called when you develop an overly complex solution
to a *very* simple problem but that's exactly what I was doing. Thanks Joe
and Craig and all others who replied. I was thinking the path would be

stylesheet file itself. I threw in the relative reference and it's working
like a charm.

Thanks again!

Okay, well I couldn't swear that "list-style-image:" works like
"background:" in CSS sheets ('cause I haven't used it), but I would assume
that it does.  We use something like this all over our CSS:

background: url(../images/icon_confirm.gif);

The url reference above is intepreted by the *browser* relative to the
location of the CSS file itself.  What file(s) the link to your CSS file is
found in is irrelevant for this interpretation, only the location of the CSS
file matters.

peace,

RE: context relative image reference in a CSS file

[Dan Payne]

Well, I can't use a relative reference as I've got over 500 JSPs in
many,many folders that are running off of 4 templates. It's in the templates
that the CSS link is so a reference would only be valid from the templates
folder (or another folder at the same level). The folder structure is much
more complex than that. I wish it was that easy.

I though of changing the .css file to .jsp and rewriting the URL and I guess
I'll go with that option. Does noone recall the name of that sourceforge
project? (I knew I should've saved that email...)

Just a minor note ... servers don't resolve relative URIs -- clients do.

However, as long as your browser obeys the CSS spec and resolves relative
URIs against the absolute URL of the stylesheet (not the source document),
then this technique should work fine.

context relative image reference in a CSS file

[Dan Payne]

I recall seeing someone mention a project on sourceforge that allowed one to
make context independent references to images from the context root within
CSS files. Anyone? Or perhaps another solution?

I've got this entry in my stylesheet.css file:

ul {
list-style-image: url(/images/li.gif);
}

and it's causing one hell of a headache as the app is deployed on different
contexts. Any ideas?

thanks...Dan

[OT] Eclipse and webapp organization

[Dan Payne]

I've started looking at Eclipse (thanks to the suggestions of many on this
list) and was curious how other Struts developers organized their webapps
w/in Eclipse.  I currently develop each webapp at

C:\webapps\\bin
C:\webapps\\build
C:\webapps\\dist
C:\webapps\\docs
C:\webapps\\pre (preproduction: contains image templates, stock
logos, etc)
C:\webapps\\src
C:\webapps\\unused
C:\webapps\\web
C:\webapps\\build.xml (for use with ant)
C:\webapps\\startup.bat (to startup tomcat instance)
C:\webapps\\shutdown.bat (to shutdown tomcat instance)

Ant deploys to the relative context at

C:\contexts\\webapps\ROOT\

Each context has its own tomcat instance.

Anyways, I've been doing it this way for quite some time now and am
consequently suffering tunnel vision. How can I smoothly import my existing
apps (these contain many, many JSPs and lots of java packages) into Eclipse?
I tried creating a new project with the base set at c:\webapps\
but that threw thousands of errors with my classes, mostly "The import
 cannot be resolved." Do I need to set up separate projects,
one for my java classes and the other for my JSPs, or do I need a
reshuffling of my folders/files? Any help would be appreciated.  I checked
the documentation but didn't see any examples on how to integrate both, what
seems to me to be, a simple project and a java project. I really like what I
see with eclipse and would like to get started with it.

Thanks again, all.

RE: Pager taglib doesn't work

[Dan Payne]

Hallo Christoph.

I have had the same problem.  The pager taglib works great on tomcat up to
4.1.x, so you may want to downgrade to 4.0.5, which I'm using with the pager
taglib no problem.  I've notified the folks who authored the pager taglib,
but no word back from them.  We'll see.  In the meantime, if anyone has a
patch or workaround, i'd be interested.

Subject: Pager taglib doesn't work


Hi,

first of all I want to introduce myself. I'm from Germany, new to the
list and started with the struts framework a few days ago.

I'm trying to get the pager taglib
(http://jsptags.com/tags/navigation/pager/) working with struts. I use
logic:iterate to iterate through a list of items. When calling my jsp
page the first time everything works fine. I see a table with the first
20 items and the page navigation links of the pager taglib. But when
calling the jsp page a second time my table is always empty. The same
happens with the sample page of the pager taglib distribution. Btw, I'm
using tomcat 4.1.12.

Does anyone use the pager taglib with the current version of tomcat?

Imho the problem is, that the same instance of the pager tag gets reused
on every call to the jsp page and the tag instance does not get
initialized again. How can I disable caching of jsp tags?

Best regards

Christoph

Portability issue?

[Dan Payne]

I've got a JSP in my struts app that runs fine on my windows dev box running
TC 4.1.10, JDK 1.4.0_01 but when I go live with it on my RH Linux box (TC
4.0.4, JDK 1.4.0_01) it takes over 30 seconds to load. The page contains an
action form and, admittedly, a ton of  and  and
 tags.  Anyone know what might be causing the time lag and where
i can begin investigating?

I've dropped a bunch of the struts html tags and the time lag disappears, so
it does seem to lie with struts tags.

Darren,

No I don't have an example.war file for you although I *might* be able to do
that tonight.  However, below I've included the web.xml and
securityfilter-config.xml entries for the app.

Also, the securityfilter mailing list at
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/securityfilter-user doesn't
appear to be real active but the author of the securityfilter (Max Cooper)
does read and reply, and I've yet to have a question go unanswered from
either him or someone else on the list.

Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.

Struts Action breakdown with TC 4.1.0 upgrade

[Dan Payne]

I just upgraded from Tomcat 4.0.4 to 4.1.0 and now none of my action
mappings work.  Getting the "No action instance for path /home could be
created".

Everything worked fine in 4.0.4.  Anybody run into this as well?  Could
there be something I inadvertanly overlooked in re-seting up struts?

Thank.

-Dan

He's asking if the list is "here" or "valid". I believe it is. ;)

This was discussed some time ago.  There are a couple of solutions:
*  There is a security-filter project on sourceforge to address this
*  You can setup a redirect action that is secure (thus it will
invoke the CMA) and have it setup so that your redirect action just
redirects to wherever you specified by a parmeter
(?redirectURL=/some/path/action.do for example).
You could take this a step further and make your login page
"smart" with JavaScript to set attributes/submit the form automatically
in a given circumstance.
* There are JAAS solutions.

I hear the security-filter (requires servlet spec 2.3 compliant
container -- filters didn't exist before then) project is working
nicely.  The usage of it "integrates" well too -- everything act just
like you were using CMA.  One of the big advantages is that you gain the
ability to configure/deploy your realm with your application.  Should
you want to deploy your application somewhere that they do not allow you
to add to their server configuration (which is a prerequisite for using
CMA), you're able to.

HTH,

Do you know which project it is on sourceforge?  Sounds like a good
solution.  Thanks Eddie.

[NEWBIE] STRUTS, TC and JDBC Realm

[Dan Payne]

Trying to deploy an application with Struts 1.0.1 with Tomcat 4.0.4 using
Tomcat's JDBC realm for user authentication. Trying to avoid an "Invalid
direct reference to form login page." Need to make a login page available to
the Realm (/users/login/index.jsp) but also want to offer the opportunity to
login on the site's home page (/home.do).  Here's what I've got:

web.xml
---
  

Email List Subscriptions
/emailLists/subscribe.do



user

  

 
   FORM
   
/users/login/index.jsp
/users/login/error.jsp
   
 


Now under this configuration, if a user clicks the link
/emailLists/subscribe.do and they are not logged in, Tomcat will redirect
them to my login page /users/login/index.jsp and upon successful
authentication Tomcat will redirect again back to /emailLists/subscribe.do.
Great!  However, if the user types their username and password on my home
page (/home.do) and then clicks the submit button, they will not be logged
in b/c the Realm requires a destination for the user (like
/emailLists/subscribe.do) or put another way, the Realm requires you try to
access a restricted page before logging in. I want to login but without
having to access a restricted page before being prompted to (namely want to
login on home page). The login form on the home page has its action set to
action="j_security_check".  Obviously this is incorrect.  Any suggestions?

Additionaly, does anyone know how Tomcat is managing these page references
(where did you come from so I know where you go if login is correct)?  Is
there any way I can set this at runtime?

user accounts question

[Dan Payne]

All,

Love using struts and enjoy this informative mailing list.  This email is a
bit off topic but alas, this is the list I subscribe to and I figure I'll
definitely get an informed response, which is what I'm looking for.

Designing a database for a client's site.  The four tables in question are
as follows:

mysql> describe users;
+---+--+--+-+++
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default| Extra  |
+---+--+--+-+++
| user_id   | int(11)  |  | PRI | NULL   | auto_increment |
| username  | varchar(20)  |  | |||
| email | varchar(100) |  | |||
| name  | varchar(50)  |  | |||
| authenticated | date |  | | -00-00 ||
| password  | blob |  | |||
+---+--+--+-+++

mysql> describe user_role_xref;
+--+-+--+-+-+---+
| Field| Type| Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+--+-+--+-+-+---+
| username | varchar(20) |  | PRI | |   |
| role | varchar(50) |  | PRI | |   |
+--+-+--+-+-+---+

mysql> describe user_auth_xref;
+---+-+--+-+-+---+
| Field | Type| Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+---+-+--+-+-+---+
| user_id   | int(11) |  | PRI | 0   |   |
| auth_code | varchar(20) |  | | |   |
+---+-+--+-+-+---+

mysql> describe user_type_xref;
+--+-+--+-+-+---+
| Field| Type| Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+--+-+--+-+-+---+
| user_id  | int(11) |  | | 0   |   |
| user_type_id | int(11) |  | | 0   |   |
+--+-+--+-+-+---+

Here's the question:
Should I still use the user_id?  Or, since the username will need to be
unique anyways, should I use the username as the primary key?  If I do,
which seems to make sense, then my user_auth_xref and user_type_xref tables
might get quite larger in size.  Is this really an issue?  Especially b/c if
I forgo the user_id then things will definitely be a bit easier to code.
Anybody run into anything like this?  The user_role_xref table requires I
use the uesrname instead of the user_id as it's for Tomcat's JDBC realm for
user authentication.

Thanks.

-Dan
