Re: valid email addresses
AFAIK, common-validator's email validation is correct except maybe for the one open bug against it. David I remember there was a recent discussion about the Struts validation framework invalidating email addresses that were considered to be valid according to some RFC (I can't remember which one. Maybe 822?). Was this ever an issue? Was it resolved? robert - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

Re: [OT] MVC / Model 2 for Microsoft ???
My understanding is that J# is only included in .NET to allow a transition path from Java to C#. It's definitely not one of the more supported .NET languages and it's *not* Java. David Whoa... MS Has released J#... that would be .NET Java. Anybody used this? Maybe I could just build an app with struts... then copy the Business/Data Tier code to a .NET app in J#. Is J# code compatible with REAL java? Aaron Longwell wrote: I hope I don't start a huge debate with that intro, here goes. I am a freelance web developer. I've been struggling lately with not being able to use the Struts framework on ALL projects. Specifically, I do work with a number of Microsoft Devotees. For several sites, this has meant developing in old ASP like playing with Duplos compared to Struts. I have been spending some time learning the .NET framework. So far it looks great... er, the features that look like Java look great. But then, why wouldn't I just use the more open, polished, community-oriented, original... Java? So now to the point... I don't have a choice for some projects... I have to use .NET. I am curious if anyone is aware of an MVC-type framework for .NET. I am NOT looking for a Struts port to .NET. I started doing a little research, searching for things like Best Practices or .NET Patterns etc. I found almost nothing... no best practices guides. Not even a single recommendation about builing Object-based backend systems. In fact, most books I've read on ASP.NET and .NET in general have focused on database access code directly in the ASPX page itself(in the Code Behind section). Am I: 1) Naive to not notice that Java Enterprise developers are light-years ahead of MS developers in terms of programming practices, design patterns, and role separation? 2) Mistaken? There really are MVC frameworks in .NET... but they are all internal... and no community oriented projects exist. Thanks for the input.

Re: [OT] MVC / Model 2 for Microsoft ???
But this makes complete sense, in a sick way. In a MS environment, portability probably isn't as big a concern, It's no concern at all because you have nothing to port to. and while there are certainly other reasons to use MVC, it strikes me that the biggest is to maintain abstractions between the various layers. If you're a MS shop, you probably have SQL server, ASP and IIS -- and MS has little interest in making it easy to change this. So why spend time building up a MVC framework if you know that you're pretty much married to certain technologies? I don't see any connection between MVC and vendor lock in. Even if you were an MS shop you still need layers to make the app. maintainable. David No thanks.

Re: Final word on amp problem in html:link with multiple parameters?
Encoding to amp; is the correct behavior as documented by the W3C. What browser are you using? David I've seen this mentioned in the mailing list archives, but couldn't find a definitive answer. I'm actually using the IBM Websphere Portal Struts Portlet Framework. I believe they're using Struts 1.1 RC1 as their foundation. I'm trying to pass multiple parameters via a map in html:link. I get the first parameter fine, but subsequent parameters are screwed up. As has been mentioned before, it seems that the is being encoded to the html amp; and instead of a parameter called orderNum, I get a parameter called amp%3BorderNum. Is this a bug? Should I be doing something that I'm not? Perhaps it's just not fixed in the Portal implementation? Thanks for any assistance.

RE: [RETRACTION] PHP version of Struts
There's no doubt that accessing Java objects from scripting languages is useful. In fact, I was just looking at Jython and Rhino today. I couldn't think of an app. I could use them in but they may come in handy down the road. David I agree. But, it would be nice to be able to access Java Objects from a scripting language. For example, If someone wanted to use Lucene to index their site, and the site already exists in php. Then it would be appropriate to be able to interact with the Lucene java objects and integrate that into the already existing system. I'm not saying that you should start a project thinking I'll build my web pages with php and my logic with java. That would be foolish. But, I can see where this would be handy in tightening the performance of legacy interaction as systems upgrade. Don't you think?

Re: PHP version of Struts
The real advantage of PHP is the number of people that know PHP. The number of people that know jsp/velocity is dwarfed by those that know PHP, thus you can hire cheaper labor and the company saves money. In my experience, cheaper labor = higher cost because you have to rip out all of those scripts within 5 years and replace them with maintainable *applications*.

RE: Why is dbcp / pool removed?
Isn't GenericDataSource deprecated? Yes, it will be removed in 1.2 but is included in 1.1 for backward compatibility. The one included is not the same as what is in RC1, though, correct? I'm just trying to figure out exactly what is changed and what I need to start experimenting with... I'm not sure what Ted changed but you may be correct that it's not exactly the same. You can still use DBCP, Struts just won't distribute it any more. I recommend using the package distributed with either your container or your database. If you tie your app to your coontainer, then it's not very portable, no? I can develop in Tomcat and publish to JRun with no problems, and I like to maintain that :) You're not tying your app to the container because you configure the DataSource implementation entirely in JNDI (my preference) or struts-config.xml. David I suppose for now a good plan would be to use GenericDataSource and research more reliable and portable options for conn pooling in the future? Perhaps by then DBCP will be cleaned up and a good stand-alone alternative.

Re: Reasonable to use EJBs for validation in ActionForm validate method?
For validation that can only be done against the database, should this go in the validate method or in the execute method? I usually do it in execute() and keep basic validations in the Validator framework. For example checking that a customer doesn't alerady exist before inserting it, or checking that a user has entered a valid address before the execute method is called to try and create it. Also, with the validator framework, does this just apply to basic (non model based) validation? You could write custom vaildators that do model based work. The validations that come with Struts perform some basic checks on the data before it reaches your model and allow for easy error display.

RE: Why is dbcp / pool removed?
So, I don't want to use DBCP anymore, but I want to continue using struts-config to define my db so as not to disrupt the current state of the app too much. So I'm learning how the DBCP-independent RC2 handles the db connections all internally, and trying to figure out if that will work and what problems might exist with it. Having some luck so far, but I need to do a lot more playing around to make sure this doesn't replace my old problems with new ones :) Just keep in mind that Struts is getting out of the DataSource implementation business altogether post 1.1.

Re: Why is dbcp / pool removed?
Just wondering why dbcp/pool is removed from RC2, will they be back for the final release? I have lots of apps that use them and wanted to know what direction this is going. Because no one was willing to fix DBCP. It's really a one man show over there and he was busy doing other things. I took a crack at it and determined the problems (such as trying to recover lost connections from poorly coded apps) ran too deep to fix in a suitable amount of time. Struts 1.1 includes its trusty old GenericDataSource but you can always plugin DBCP if you want.

RE: Why is dbcp / pool removed?
Struts 1.1 includes its trusty old GenericDataSource but you can always plugin DBCP if you want. Hold on a second... Isn't GenericDataSource deprecated? Yes, it will be removed in 1.2 but is included in 1.1 for backward compatibility. I just recently switched from using GenericDataSource in my struts-config.xml (by specifying no type=) to explicitly using type=org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource because of the docs in GenericDataSource. Is this no longer the recommended approach? If DBCP works for you, then continue using it. It's just not included in the Struts distro anymore. In the future Struts won't distribute *any* connection pooling package, you will have to plug in your favorite implementation. Currently, I'm having some problems with pooling and idle connections which are closed by the db server actually being given back to my app (I suspect). Could this be related to the bugs in dbcp you are talking about? Maybe, this behavior is configurable in DBCP so it may or may not be trying to recover lost connections. Using 1.1RC2, what is the recommended way to acquire pooled db connections? I recommend using the package distributed with either your container or your database.

We really need to figure out a better way of doing things for ValidatorForm and ValidatorActionForm. The differences between the classes are minor and they should probably be only one class. I'm glad you fixed your problem! David David, your email was illuminating. Actually I had a closer look at the code; the [silly!] problem was that I declared a DynaValidatorActionForm in the struts-config.xml file and used a DynaValidatorForm in my action.

Re: Question about maxlength with Validator
This may be do to an arg problem in recent commons-validator nightly builds. I fixed this last night so it should show up in today or tommorrow's commons-validator build. You could also download commons-validator-1.0.2.jar and use that. You should also be aware that Struts will not generate any javascript validations for password fields other than required. The less hackers know about your password requirements the better. Of course, there's nothing stopping you from altering the validator-rules.xml file javascript.

Re: Validation Problem
Well, these validations have already been coded for you and can be
configured in an xml file by using the Validator. I highly recommend you
look into using the validator because it will save you a bunch of time.
Your problem may have something to do with setting the fields = in reset.
I would put a stdout call in reset to see when it gets called. If your
forms are stored in the request (and I maybe even in the session) then you
don't need to implement the reset method at all. It's really only needed to
reset boolean properties.

import org.apache.struts.util.MessageResources;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
import java.lang.String;
public class PostTestForm extends ActionForm
{
private String field1 = ;
private String field2 = ;
private String field3 = ;
private void checkForEmpty(String fieldName, String fieldKey, String
value,
ActionErrors errors)
{
if (value.trim().length() == 0)
{
System.out.println(fieldName + value.trim().length());
ActionError error = new ActionError(error.posttest.field.null,
fieldName);
errors.add(fieldKey, error);
}
}
private void checkForLength(String fieldName, String fieldKey, String
value,
int maxLength, ActionErrors errors)
{
if (value.length() maxLength)
{
ActionError error = new ActionError(error.posttest.field.length,
fieldName);
System.out.println(maxLength);
errors.add(fieldKey, error);
}
}
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request)
{
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
checkForEmpty(field1, error.field1.empty, getField1(), errors);
checkForEmpty(field2, error.field2.empty, getField2(), errors);
checkForEmpty(field3, error.field3.empty, getField3(), errors);
checkForLength(field1, error.field1.length, getField1(), 5,
errors);
checkForLength(field2, error.field2.length, getField2(), 5,
errors);
checkForLength(field3, error.field3.length, getField3(), 5,
errors);
return errors;
}
public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request)
{
field1 = ;
field2 = ;
field3 = ;
}
public String getField1()
{
return field1;
}
public void setField1(String feld1)
{
this.field1 = field1;
}
public String getField2()
{
return field2;
}
public void setField2(String field2)
{
this.field2 = field2;
}
public String getField3()
{
return field3;
}
public void setField3(String field3)
{
this.field3 = field3;
}
}
Everything works fine except the application always claims, that field1 is
empty
even if it's not. value.trim().length() always is = 0 with respect to the
field1.
The content of the HTML-Form looks like this:

Re: Validation Problem
The author is incorrect. Check out http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/faqs/newbie.html#reset for more info. David Well, these validations have already been coded for you and can be configured in an xml file by using the Validator. I highly recommend you look into using the validator because it will save you a bunch of time. I'll do soon. I getting acquainted with Struts working with the book Professional Struts Applications. I still have 14 pages ahead the validator framework. But before I jump to it, I'd like to understand why some basics don't work to gain more confidence in the whole framework. Your problem may have something to do with setting the fields = in reset. I would put a stdout call in reset to see when it gets called. I did that and reset gets called. If your forms are stored in the request (and I maybe even in the session) then you don't need to implement the reset method at all. They're being stored in the request. But wait a second. Why do you mean I don't need to implement the reset method? The guy in the book states: The reset() method is invoked only if the developer has declared that the ActionForm class should be stored in the request. This is necessary because Struts maintains a cache for each of the ActionForm classes. A single instance of an ActionForm class can be shared by multiple users for different reqests at different times. Hence, the developer must implement the reset() method to ensure that the end user never gets some other user's data How does this sound? It's really only needed to reset boolean properties. He doesn't mention that...

RE: [validator] arg0-arg3 elements need name attribute to display message?
I'm glad someone is doing some work on the validator. And speaking of that, I will most likely be using the validator extensively pretty soon in a new application, which may result in some contributions. Are there specific bugs or feature requests where help is needed? You can query bugzilla for a list of current bugs and enhancements. I'm basically working alone on validator right now but Rob Leland has recently moved the Javascript stuff from Struts over to commons and added a UrlValidator. Here are some things I'm planning for commons-validator 2.0: - Move base Java requirement to 1.4. I tested replacing all of the ORO classes with the Java 1.4 regex equivalents and there was a 50% speed increase. - Change form and field semantics to bean and property to better align the validator with bean validation as opposed to form validation. Forms are just a special case of bean validation. I'm comfortable enough with the current changes to cut a commons-validator-1.1 release after Struts 1.1 goes final.

This is a bug in the recent commons-validator nightly builds. Download commons-validator 1.0.2 or tomorrow's build. I have been doing some major refactoring over in commons-validator and unfortunately broke the arg configuration :-(. On the bright side, in future commons-validator versions you'll be able to define more than 4 replacement args :-). David I've been doing some messing around with the Validator and ran into an issue I haven't seen mentioned on the list yet. I'm using 2 day old nightly builds of Struts and commons-validator. Now, this is my first time trying out the validator so I could be doing something wrong as well. Anyway from all the examples that I have seen, and postings on the list, this is how to define a validator for a form/field: form name=testForm field property=name depends=required arg0 key=testform.name/ /field field property=value depends=required arg0 key=testform.value/ /field /form Now, validation DOES happen, however the message keys (and I only have one bundle) testform.name and testform.value are not used when a validation occurs. Instead I get: null is required. The only way I was able to get the proper message key to work, was to specify the arg* elements like this: arg0 name=required key=testform.name/ In other words, I have to reference the validator name being used in the arg* in order for the message to resolve. This is something that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere in the existing documentation, books, or on the list. Is it a bug or a new requirement? This happens with all Validator form types, and my own Dyna form class.

Re: using struts token
i want to use struts tokens to (un)process duplicate submissions. however, i could not find out anything about using tokens in any of the sample apps that come with struts. 1) is there a sample application which demonstrates using tokens in struts? struts-example uses tokens. You can also look at the javadoc for the Action class for token related methods. 2) i'm not using the struts html tag library to display forms or form controls. would this be a problem? would i have to do extra work if so? html:form renders a hidden token field for submission so you'll need to do that yourself if you don't want to use that tag.

Re: [OT] Logging.. when to use it
Hi All, I wish to know when to use the logging. What are the application senarios where logging will be useful. I mean to say that what will be the ideal situations where logging can be used. Logging is extremely useful when debugging problems in production applications. I normally setup exception logging to go to a file and to email an administrator. Emailed stack traces are invaluable when trying to debug problems. Struts uses commons-logging to insulate itself from the numerous logging packages users may choose. However, I just use Java 1.4 logging directly in my apps. David I would appreciate an eye opening reply for this.

I remember had being used the Validator succesfully in a past; then my web developer started to use javascript to perform the checks so we didn't put attention to Validator any more. Now I'm using tiles for my site and would like to use validator, as I am not a javascript expert. It seems to me that Validator and tiles have some difficulties working together; is that correct? It seems to me to have made all the setup correctly but when I submit the form, nothing happens. I've also read that someone else had the same problem with tiles + Validator working together. If this is not the case, could I proceede to post to the mailing list my code?

Re: struts validator
Also, It looks like Struts run-time does not validate validation.xml against DTD, as a result any typo there are welcome without warnings. This is a problem with commons-validator not validating the xml files. I have been working to fix this but other problems have taken priority. David The problems in the java part of Struts might be solved with any Java IDE, but the problems with XML part becomes a really personal problem of Struts developers. Actually, it was a primary reason we start to develop Struts Studio.

Re: struts validator
Not sure all this talk of validator is that justifiable. I've had no issues generating both the client side and server side validation, and its saved me a lot of work. Like others i think it would be nice to define form beans and validation rules in the same place but I like it as it is, unless anybody has any alternatives? One thing to consider is that Struts validation is based on commons-validator which reads its own xml config file. Moving the validation configuration to struts-config.xml would require us to do all the validator setup in Struts rather than leveraging the commons-validator code. David Thats my 2 pence..

Re: Handling ServletException
The Struts exception handling mechanism only handles exceptions thrown from Action.execute() methods. Your JSP is probably throwing an exception so you need to setup error-page elements in web.xml to point to a friendlier error page. David Hi. I've followed everyones advice and written a custom Exception handler. The exceptionhandler is set up in struts-config to catch all exceptions : !-- Global Exceptions -- global-exceptions exception handler=mypackage.strutsextensions.CustomizedExceptionHandler key=global.error.message scope=request type=java.lang.Exception/ /global-exceptions This works great, but my problem is that sometimes there occures a SerlvetException which is just presented on screen and is not caught by my CustomizedExceptionHandler. I believe that this is because the ServletException is thrown by the container ?? Anyhow, I would like to catch these exceptions as well, and preferably route them to my custom Error handler. Does anyone have some advice on how to handle ServletExceptions to give the user better information ?

Re: [Tiles] Forwarding To JSP Error Page From Within Tiles (Help!)
I'm also interested in any good ideas on this topic. I didn't spend enough time on this to know I had exhausted all possibilities. I just made my error page a very simple An error occurred statement so that it wouldn't look ugly when included as part of many tiles. I figured that exceptions wouldn't happen too often at the JSP layer because it has no logic in it and since I log all these exceptions I can make sure they're fixed and the user will never see my error page anyways. However, it would be nice to get a better solution. David This is a continuation of a post I submitted yesterday as an off topic subject entiled: [OT] web.xml error-page configuration problem (Special thanks to David Graham for his many replies): Currently, this isn't showing up in the archives so I couldn't provide a link. However, I feel this is no longer an off topic, but rather a Tiles/JSP topic. The issue I'm facing is how to forward to an error page (JSP) when a runtime exception (e.g. NullPointerException) occurs within my JSP Tile. Currently, I've added the following directive to each of my JSPs: %@ page errorPage=/jsp/error.jsp % I'd prefer to only specify this information in one place, but I can't figure out how to do that either. The error-page setting in the web.xml doesn't appear to work for JSPs, just regular Java code inside the web container. Now, when an exception occurs in a Tile JSP, my error screen is displayed, but it's inserted into the page with all the other Tiles displayed as well. This can look really ugly depending on which Tile the exception occurs in. What I would I would prefer to do is automatically forward to a brand new screen. David Graham gave me the idea of redirecting to a Struts action: %@ page errorPage=/displaySystemError.do % But this causes the following exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot forward a response that is already committed I think that makes since b/c of the other Tiles (JSP Servlets) that have already been processed and committed HTML to the output writer. So I'm stumped at this point. Please reply if anyone has any bright ideas.

Re: Exception handling question
How do you get access to the exception that was thrown when your action is called by the container (i.e. from the error-page directive in web.xml)? for example: a custom tag throws an exception, it is caught by the container and the container forwards to my action. so where is the exception object stored now so that my action can log it? For sure I can log that there *was* an exception, but how do I know what it was? After looking back at my app...I'm actually not logging exceptions thrown in JSPs. I use Tiles controllers to load all of my JSP data and I catch and log any exceptions thrown by my controllers. The JSPs only display data so there is little chance of them throwing an exception (unless I've coded the page wrong but I find those errors during development). The Servlet 2.3 spec (section 9.9) doesn't say that the exception is accessible to the error page, neither does Sun's servlet tutorial: http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/Servlets4.html#64301 There is a standard request attribute name that the exception is stored under. I can't recall the exact name but it's defined in the Servlet spec. I'm assuming that if you map an Action to an error-page definition in web.xml it will have access to that request attribute but I have never tried it. David And if it *is* available somehow to the action specified in the error-page directive in the web.xml, then what would be the reason to use an ExceptionHandler in struts as well, even if it shares the same error-handling code?

RE: struts (and JSTL) expression language questions
It is a hard (nearly impossible) task to convince some management teams that in order to use this new (and I think better) technology, we will have to adopt an entirely new paradigm where taglibs perform operations and EL accesses data. I wouldn't say it's a new paradigm. It's faster, easier, and cheaper to use the JSTL than scriptlets and that will definitely motivate mgmt. to support the change :-).

Re: [OT] data layer, try-catch-finally, connections
Setting the conn, rs, and s pointers to null in this method is pointless and
confuses Java newbies.
David
public static void closeconn (java.sql.Connection conn,
java.sql.Statement s, java.sql.ResultSet rs) throws java.sql.SQLException {
try {
if (rs != null) {
rs.close();
rs = null;
}
if (s != null) {
s.close();
s = null;
}
if (conn != null) {
conn.close();
conn = null;
}
} catch (java.sql.SQLException e) {
closeconn(conn, s, rs, e);
}
}
and if THAT one throws an exception, it calls this:
public static void closeconn (java.sql.Connection conn,
java.sql.Statement s, java.sql.ResultSet rs,
java.sql.SQLException e) throws java.sql.SQLException {
if (rs != null) {
try {
rs.close();
rs = null;
} catch (java.sql.SQLException rse) {
e.setNextException (rse);
rs = null;
}
}
if (s != null) {
try {
s.close();
s = null;
} catch (java.sql.SQLException se) {
e.setNextException (se);
s = null;
}
}
if (conn != null) {
try {

conn = null;
} catch (java.sql.SQLException ce) {
e.setNextException (ce);
conn = null;
}
}
throw new java.sql.SQLException (e.getMessage(), e.getSQLState(),
e.getErrorCode());
}

Subject: [OT] data layer, try-catch-finally, connections
I guess you've all been here, so can you answer this?
you have do a 'finally' to ensure you close the connection/release it
back
to the pool.
In the controller tier this is easy, get the connection in the
Filter/RequestProcessor/Action when whatever returns you can finally
close
it.
However this ties it to the controller layer. I want my connections
instigated from the business layer. But because so many processes
require
a
connection I will have identical try,catch,finally block all over the
place.
Any one got a solution to this?
Thankyou

David
public static void closeconn (java.sql.Connection conn,

and if THAT one throws an exception, it calls this:
public static void closeconn (java.sql.Connection conn,
java.sql.Statement s, java.sql.ResultSet rs,
java.sql.SQLException e) throws java.sql.SQLException {
if (rs != null) {
try {

e.setNextException (se);
s = null;

}
if (conn != null) {
try {

conn = null;
} catch (java.sql.SQLException ce) {
e.setNextException (ce);
conn = null;
}
}
throw new java.sql.SQLException (e.getMessage(),

Crazy, perhaps, but it works quite well.

Subject: [OT] data layer, try-catch-finally, connections
I guess you've all been here, so can you answer this?
you have do a 'finally' to ensure you close the connection/release
it
back
to the pool.
In the controller tier this is easy, get the connection in the
Filter/RequestProcessor/Action when whatever returns you can finally
close
it.
However this ties it to the controller layer. I want my connections
instigated from the business layer. But because so many processes
require
a
connection I will have identical try,catch,finally block all over
the
place.
Any one got a solution to this?
Thankyou

Re: validator with password fields
Javascript for password fields is intentionally limited for security reasons. The only javascript validation that runs on password fields is the required check. What version are you using? David Hi all, when trying to make a password field required using the validator, the javascript doesn't seem to work. The server side validation does work. Strangely, the javascript validation works in the same form for text fields. Anyone ever encountered this before? Am I just doing something wrong? brian _ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Re: Possible Bug in FieldChecks.validateRequiredIf(...)
Thanks for catching this! Please file a bug report so we don't forget to
fix it.
Thanks,
David
I have a validation that should be failing (under certain conditions),
but is not. I've double checked and triple checked to make sure the
setup is correct, and it's still not working correctly.
So, I took a look at the code for validateRequiredIf in the
org.apache.struts.validator.FieldChecks class. At the end of the
method I found this segment of code:
if (required) {
if ((value != null) (value.length() 0)) {
return true;
} else {
errors.add(field.getKey(), Resources.getActionError(request, va,
field));
return false;
}
}
Am I correct in assuming that the following condition ((value != null)
(value.length() 0)) should be
(!GenericValidator.isBlankOrNull(value)). The reason my check is
failing is due to the fact the value I'm checking is all white space (at
certain times), and is selected from a select box.

Re: Exception handling question
Ideally I would like to log all exceptions that occur, and I can create an ExceptionHandler to do this, but it will only catch exceptions that get thrown from within one of my Actions, anything thrown from JSP pages or custom tags won't get caught. (right?) How do most people deal with this? I can set an error-page in the web.xml file that will catch the rest, but then I can't log the exceptions. (or can I?) 1. Factor exception logging code into its own class. 2. Point web.xml error pages to a struts action that invokes that class. 3. Make your ExceptionHandler subclass delegate handling to class defined in step 1. The beauty of OO composition :-).

Re: Struts 1.1
Struts RC 2 should be coming out this week. After that, people will have a chance to test their apps with it and we'll incorporate any show stopping bug fixes. Struts 1.1 final is not far off after that :-). David I'm not going to ask when Struts 1.1 will be released because I know the stock answer. I'm going to ask what we need to do to get it released as soon as possible? Our company has a policy of not using software that hasn't had a final release, therefore we've been stuck with Struts 1.0. We can't switch to 1.1 in development, because we don't know how many months (or years) it will be before it's done. We can't hold up our production dates because of Struts 1.1. So, my question is, what exactly are we waiting for for the Struts 1.1 release? What can we do to get it there as soon as possible? We'd be willing to put some time into it to get it released. Using it in our production applications is out of the question though. I know this is a little harsh, but I have lost count of how long we've been waiting. At least 7 Struts books have been released since Struts 1.1 beta was released. (it's funny that all of them say that 1.1 will be out once the book is in print. :) Other web frameworks have gone from nothing to having released software during the beta of 1.1. I want quality software as much as the next guy, but was Struts 1.0 so poorly designed that it takes so long to come out with the next MINOR version? OK, flame away, but I hope we can get someone tell us exactly what we need to do to stop the hold up and get 1.1 released. Please let us know.

The web app consists of 1 jsp page which handles all CRUD actions. The first part of the page contains a form with 2 fields and 'create' and 'retrieve' buttons. Both these functions work fine. When a 'retrieve' (select id,field1,field2 from table1) is done, a table is rendered with the resultset on the same page. For each record of the recordset, there exists an 'update' and 'delete' button. The problem is how do I tell my action class which record to act on? The difficulty of this kind of problems is that there is no *standard* way to handle CRUD operations in general. However, the just unveiled Carrier allows you to visually compose hyper action wizards. In particular, the demo for the Ant Project Configuration has a lot of CRUD operations. If I understand your business problem, here is a very similar situation: an Ant project may contain several targets, so there are CRUD operations on the targets. For each target, there are several tasks. So we have CRUD operations on the tasks. For each task, there might be several nested attributes, so more CRUD operations. Some we do it on the same page, some we do it on different page in the demo. There are total of 39 pages just for this demo with nested level up to 5. This demo is done exclusively within Struts. No javascript! Even there is no custom code for this demo. You compose the Ant Project Configuration as hyper action wizards completely within Carrier rich client. And any submited forms will be automatically persisted and restored for you as necessary. The algorithms that makes this happen is called Wheels.

Re: Justifying Struts
1) I think the separation of presentation (view) from the model and controller has gone too far (or probably is not done well in Struts). For example, I like to have my front end developers do form (field) validation. These developers should not have to write beans to do this (all examples I've seen so far do form validation in Java beans). This somewhat contradicts the J2EE development model where application developers, who are basically scripters (not OO developers), do the front end work. It has not gone too far. If you don't like MVC, you've chosen the wrong tool. You don't need Struts or Java, just use some scripting language like PHP. Form validation is done via an xml config. file and many times there is no code required. This is known as the Validator and is based on the Jakarta commons-validator. You need to subclass ValidatorForm or use DynaValidatorForm. 2) There is just too much junk to write to do a simple form. The samples I've seen have involve too many files to do a simple form. Plus, why should I have to write a new bean for each form. Why can't the bean either be generated automatically or there be a general purpose bean (with properties that are created dynamically) that works for all forms? You can do this with DynaForms. You configure each been in struts-config.xml and Struts handles it as if you coded a Java class. This approach leads to 1 config file for beans and the rest of the app (struts-config.xml), 1 config file for validation (validation.xml), and 1 Action class to handle the submitted form. 3) We already separate business logic nicely, usually by encapsulating the logic in beans or EJBs. By the time the application developers get to work writing JSP/HTML, they are not writing any business logic. So why add the overhead of Struts (or any other framework)? JSPs should not talk to EJBs directly, that is a known best practice. Struts is a web tier controller framework for turning web requests into business layer calls. 4) Because we separate out business logic into beans and EJBs, Java is simply used as a scripting langauge in our JSPs - in just the same way that VBScript is used in Active Server Pages. We try not to confuse the object oriented language called Java, with the scripting language called Java that we use in JSPs. We use a very small subset of Java in JSPs. There is no Java scripting language, there is only Java the OO language. Using scriptlets in JSPs is now considered an obsolete technique for many reasons you can find on the net. 5) Based on #4, I don't particularly care for taglibs either. Again, we are simply using Java to do simple scripting. Loops are probably the most complex thing we do. So why add the extra overhead of taglibs. A loop is a loop whether it has the syntax of Java or a taglib. Plus, if I want my front-end developers to get any experience with serious development, I'd rather have them dealing with Java as opposed to taglibs, which have no value in the real world of programming. I'm not sure what you mean by this; Java webapps are real world programming. The JSTL provides a common set of reusable taglibs that all Java web programmers are expected to know. 6) Performance is unknown. I've looked through the mail archives and have seen requests for performance figures, but no answers (plenty of folks pushing Struts though). Performance is known to be quite good but no one has taken the time to get actual numbers. Feel free to do this analysis and let us know the results. The only reason people push Struts is because they've found it useful and are excited about using it. Struts will most definitely not be the weakest link in your webapps performance. Database access and network speeds are usually the 2 slowest components. It sounds like you have the wrong expectations for Struts/Java web programming. This is not designed as a scripting environment. MVC webapps are designed to solve the numerous maintenance and productivity problems associated with scripted apps in PHP, ASP, Perl, etc. David Mike - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Action Chaining - how to avoid?
There are, however, situations where the second screen really has nothing to do with the first. For example, an Order screen and an OrderItem screen. When navigating from Order to OrderItem, I should not go directly to OrderItem.jsp for two reasons. The OrderItemForm is unrelated to the OrderForm and should not be part of the OrderForm object. Given this, it *could* still be ok to go to OrderItem.jsp when it uses it's own Form object, but not if you need to pass through OrderItemAction to verify the user is logged in. The other options are action chaining from the OrderAction to the OrderItem mapping, or linking from the Order.jsp to the OrderItem mapping, both of which are considered bad. What else is there? Why is an order unrelated to its items? I would have one class called OrderForm that contained a List or array of all the items being ordered. One ActionForm object does not necessarily map to one HTML form. You can split up the view however you like but store all the data in one form object.

Re: Action Chaining - how to avoid?
You have to take that relationship on faith. Perhaps it's not the best example, but suffice it to say that I have many-to-many types of relationships in my data, and that the Forms are best segregated for re-use. It is highly inefficient for me to make a separate form for each combination of data relationship. Futhermore, there are many levels involved here. Distributions have Shipments, Shipments have Orders, Orders Have Items, Items have Tasks, Tasks have TaskDetails. Are you really suggesting I put all this in one Form? If I make a screen to query for TaskDetails which then uses the same jsp to display the results as the one that is linked to by the Task screen, then I must use this giant Form with mostly inconsequential fields, and add my TaskDetail query screen specifics to it, too. If you have a generic query result page then you need to supply it with a generic result bean to display the data. Your TaskDetailQueryForm object is handled by your TaskDetailQueyAction which then puts your generic result bean in the request and forwards to the result page. I don't see why you would need action chaining here. David Where does it end? My other options are to make a new jsp, or make a jsp with some really nasty scriptlet in it to handle different forms. Right? --- David Graham [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There are, however, situations where the second screen really has nothing to do with the first. For example, an Order screen and an OrderItem screen. When navigating from Order to OrderItem, I should not go directly to OrderItem.jsp for two reasons. The OrderItemForm is unrelated to the OrderForm and should not be part of the OrderForm object. Given this, it *could* still be ok to go to OrderItem.jsp when it uses it's own Form object, but not if you need to pass through OrderItemAction to verify the user is logged in. The other options are action chaining from the OrderAction to the OrderItem mapping, or linking from the Order.jsp to the OrderItem mapping, both of which are considered bad. What else is there? Why is an order unrelated to its items? I would have one class called OrderForm that contained a List or array of all the items being ordered. One ActionForm object does not necessarily map to one HTML form. You can split up the view however you like but store all the data in one form object.

Re: Form validation over multiple pages
With a little further investigation I see that the page value does not get set in the validationForm using html:hidden approach as outlined below. Ie, this doen't work: html:hidden name=validateForm property=page value=1 / When I print out the value of the page field in the action, it is still set to zero. How do you set the page property? Also, this seems to imply the validator is VERY shaky over multiple pages. For example, the properties on my second page are marked as required, and they don't get validated in the first action (this seems to show that the page based validation is working), yet on the second page, the associated action tries to validate the page 1 properties!!! I believe the server side validation validates any page = the current page and the client side javascript just validates the current page. David Arrrg!! What's going on! Has anyone got this to work?

However I'm getting a strange little error. The first page is validating fine, and it doesn't seem to try to validate the info required on the second page - correct. However once I try to validate the second page, the javascript validates correctly, but the server side validation returns an error saying the first page's required field needs validating.

Re: Action Chaining - how to avoid?
My jsps currently assume use of the form specified in the mapping from html:form action=mapping. I suppose it's not a problem to always include the name property in my tags, and assign that the generic form bean name. It's a little bothersome though that the action writer needs to know what kind of object to create where for each local forward, and that pulling the data from the model is now duplicated in this action and in the generic form. My current design forwards with the UID of the data as a request parameter, the form is created for me, I populate it from the model in the reset method, then the other request paramters are populated for me, just like when the generic form is submitted. Seems a lot more straightforward, and I can still use a local forward to keep the navigation contained in the struts-config, and avoid form population anomalies, if I do this: forward = new ActionForward((mapping.findForward(forward)).getName()+?UID=+UID,true); What does the forward forward map to? If it's another Action then that's considered action chaining, if it's a jsp then it's fine. Chaining actions isn't a good idea but if it works for you in this case, use it.

Re: javax.servlet.ServletException: BeanUtils.populate
I couldn't find any HTML field called alertContacts in your JSP. If you
want alertContacts to hold the selected values, you need to have a form
control called alertContacts.
I normally populate the list from a collection I store in the session or
request and use a form bean property to save what the user submitted.
David
Sorry, but this is urgent to me, and am very sorry to imply anything
toward, or against anyone else.
I am having this error when I submit the form. I can display the form
seemingly fine. I have about 19 forms that are fairly similiar currently,
and they all submit just fine.
I have gone through this with a fine tooth comb, but am not seeing any
differences in the Husted.com examples for LookupDispatchAction. I also see
other people that have the error, but seem to have much more stack trace,
and I have no idea what the cause would/should actually be.
So, I have started to remove items from the form, like the multi-select,
but that did not seem to help.

Re: [WAY OT] Hashtable implementation
Hashtable is a legacy collection that has been replaced by the HashMap class. You might check commons-collections for such a class and if it's not there you could contribute the code. David Hey, I know this is probably a really stupid question but i am looking for a Hashtable (or similar) that will store multiple objects under the same key. I wrote a superficial implementation myself (put, size and get methods only) based on the Hashtable, but I am interested to know if there is something out there already implementing this functionality.

Re: Struts Performance - Any Benchmarks?
They seem to be itching for benchmarks though, so I'll give it to them by building a single, then multi-servlet app and using Introscope with some load test simulators. I was hoping somebody in a situation such as myself already had done it. It's a shame that you're required to do this because an explanation of how Java threading works should suffice. Simply put, it doesn't matter how many servlet instances exist, it only matters how many threads are running through one instance at a time. David Now the next matter of opposition I'm getting is does struts work well in a distributed environment for example load balancing. I will post this a separate thread with what I have told them already. Craig R.

Hi, I have been scouring the internet with no results. Does anybody have any resources on the performance of Struts applications. Any benchmarks versus standard development. One bottle-neck brought up by members of my team is the single action servlet everything must pass through. Are there currently or going to be programming solutions to this? If your team believes that this issue is a bottleneck, then some training and a more complete understanding of how multithreading works in Java might be appropriate -- the fact that a single instance of the action servlet (and of the actions themselves) has zero impact on performance, and it reduces memory consumption of your app by avoiding useless extra copies. For example, maybe we can have more than one action servlet and use a different mapping.. ie, instead of *.do, *.jspx ? But then would global forwards from the two different actions still work? This won't work, but not for performance reasons -- Struts supports only a single mapping to the controller servlet, and only one controller servlet per webapp. Personally, I argue that we should simply go to load balancing if it comes to that and adding more servlets wouldn't do much anyway. From my rudimentary undestanding of java servlets, other resources will choke on you way before the single servlet chokes anyhow. See above -- the most important factors in webapp performance have nothing to do with this issue at all. In fact, the most important factors are typically: * Overall application architecture (things like caching where it is appropriate, but not doing premature optimization -- there are lots of good books on optimizing server-side Java apps around to draw ideas from). * Database performance (be sure to use connection pooling effectively) * Network performance * The quality of the code generated by your JSP page compiler for pages using lots of custom tags.
