RE: Difference between MVC and MVC2 architectures
Below is an excerpt from an Java World article circa 1999 (author: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) describing the difference between Model 1 vs. Model 2. The early JSP specifications advocated two philosophical approaches for building applications using JSP technology. These approaches, termed the JSP Model 1 and Model 2 architectures, differ essentially in the location at which the bulk of the request processing was performed. In the Model 1 architecture, shown in Figure 1, the JSP page alone is responsible for processing the incoming request and replying back to the client. There is still separation of presentation from content, because all data access is performed using beans. Although the Model 1 architecture should be perfectly suitable for simple applications, it may not be desirable for complex implementations. Indiscriminate usage of this architecture usually leads to a significant amount of scriptlets or Java code embedded within the JSP page, especially if there is a significant amount of request processing to be performed. While this may not seem to be much of a problem for Java developers, it is certainly an issue if your JSP pages are created and maintained by designers -- which is usually the norm on large projects. Ultimately, it may even lead to an unclear definition of roles and allocation of responsibilities, causing easily avoidable project-management headaches. I believe sun originated the terms Model 1 and Model 2 in this context. - Original Message - From: Galbreath, Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 11:20 AM Subject: RE: Difference between MVC and MVC2 architectures There's no such thing as MVC-2 (it's Model 2) and it's not an architecture; it's a design pattern.

Funny request parameters
We just upgraded our versions of WebLogic and Struts. WebLogic : 6.0 sp 2 == 6.1. Struts: 1.0 nightly build Feb ? 2001 == 1.0 Most things worked without a hitch, however we are experiencing a problem that I am having difficulty resolving. We have the following entries defined in struts_config.xml: !-- update buyer form bean -- form-bean name=updateBuyerForm type=net.ps.gui.user.UpdateBuyerForm/ !-- update buyer -- actionpath=/updateBuyer type=net.ps.gui.user.UpdateBuyerAction name=updateBuyerForm scope=request input=/pages/updateBuyer.jsp validate=false forward name=success path=/pages/updateBuyer.jsp/ forward name=failure path=/pages/updateBuyer.jsp/ forward name=securityErrorpath=/logoff/ /action The UpdateBuyer form has a step attribute with a getStep() and a setStep() method. The update buyer action is first invoked with the url ../cmd/updateBuyer?step=prepare. where /cmd/* is mapped to the struts action servlet. Everything works as expected. The updateBuyer jsp displays a form with a hidden property for step where the value is 'commit' html:form action=/cmd/updateBuyer html:hidden property=step value=commit/ ... html:submit bean:message key=button.submit/ /html:submit /html:form When the user fills in the form and pushes the submit button, the updateBuyer action is invoked and the step parameter in the HttpServletRequest object has two values 'prepare' and 'commit'. I would only expect one value (i.e., 'commit'). This behavior is consistent for all parameters that are passed in via the original url. Previously this code worked. Nowhere in the updateBuyer.jsp can 'prepare' be found. It is as if the request state from the previous request is being maintained across requests. Does anyone have an idea as to what might be occurring. Thanks in advance, Tony

An example of this reuse is in the struts example. Dot notation is used to reference attributes.

They would either use the same Action path, or different mappings could all specify the same ActionForm. 2) I am also looking for example on how to use Javascript with Struts. In what sense?

RE: Interfaces in Struts
Anthony,
Instead of:
public final class ProfileForm extends ActionForm implements Profile {
private int proifleno ;
private String firstname ;
private String lastname ;
.
.
try:
public final class ProfileForm extends ActionForm {
private ProfileDBM profile = null;
public Profile getProfile() {
if (profile == null) {
profile = new ProfileDBM();
}
return profile;
}
.
.
Struts allows you to nest beans within forms. You would reference the
firstName in Struts tags using the dot notation (i.e., profile.firstName).
Using the nested beans, you do not have to reimplement the mindless get/set
methods in both your ProfileDBM and
ProfileForm.

Tony

Subject: Interfaces in Struts
I wanted to share my approach because it seems successful for what we're
doing. I can't imagine we're the only ones doing it, but just in case we
are, I wanted to share. I'd also like to hear any and all comments and
criticisms.
We use Struts to present database tables to the user so that we may collect
information from them, validate it, and process it. Nothing new here.
In order to make sure we only have to design these beans once, I used
interfaces from the beginning. So a profile starts out as something like
this:
/*
* Profile.java
*/
package com.trams.project ;
public interface Profile {
int proifleno = 0 ;
String firstname = null ;
String lastname = null ;
.
.
.
int getProfileno ( ) ;
void setProfileno ( int profileno ) ;
String getFirstname ( ) ;
void setFirstname( String firstname ) ;
void setLastname ( String lastname ) ;
String getLastname ( ) ;
.
.
.
}
// end of Profile.java
Once I have the interface, I also write the class that uses it. In this
case, a database interactivity class that constructs SQL statements in order
to process the data presented to it:
/*
* ProfileDBM.java
*/
package com.trams.project ;
public class ProfileDBM extends DatabaseManager {
Profile table = null ;
public void setTable ( Object table ) { this.table = (Profile) table
; }
public void create ( ) {
.
.
.
}
public void retrieve ( ) {
.
.
.
table.setProfileno(rs.getInt(PROFILENO)) ;
table.setFirstname(rs.getString(FIRSTNAME)) ;
table.setLastname(rs.getString(LASTNAME)) ;
.
.
.
}
public void update ( ) {
.
.
.
}
public void delete ( ) {
.
.
.
}
}
At this point you can see (or have to trust) that nothing uses Struts,
Servlets, or anything other than basic packages. The above code could be
used to populate any object with Profile information, be it a command line
utility, AWT object, or even a Struts ActionForm.
I then implement my Profile into an ActionForm:
/*
* ProfileForm.java
*/
package com.trams.project ;
public final class ProfileForm extends ActionForm implements Profile {
private int proifleno ;
private String firstname ;
private String lastname ;
.
.
.
int getProfileno ( ) { return this.profileno ; }
void setProfileno ( int profileno ) { this.profileno = profileno ; }
String getFirstname ( ) { return this.firstname ; }
void setFirstname( String firstname ) { this.firstname = firstname ;
}
void setLastname ( String lastname ) { return this.lastname ; }
String getLastname ( ) { this.lastname = lastname ; }
.
.
.
}
Then a fragment of my ProfileAction.java file:
.
.
.
ProfileForm profileForm = (ProfileForm) form ;
ProfileDBM dbm = new ProfileDBM() ;
dbm.setCon(con) ; // part of my DatabaseManager class
dbm.setTable(profileForm) ;
dbm.retrieve() ;
.
.
.
That populates the entire form so it can be displayed and manipulated by the
user. The other methods aid in creating, updating, and deleting.
Nothing really spectacular, I know. But I remember people talking about it,
and I just wanted to share what I've been doing. Again, we've had great
success in representing our existing database. And at this rate, we'll have
more than a Struts API for accessing our database. We'll also have
independent interfaces that could be used by any developer who wants the SQL
logic all worked out for them.

I have a situation where it would be useful if the ActionForm was an
interface rather than an abstract class. Basically, I had developed some
subclasses of ActionForm that I found useful. I am now integrating with
another developer who also has useful subclasses of ActionForms.
Unfortunately the implementations are orthogonal. They create a situation
that could be solved with multiple inheritance. Since multiple inheritance
is neither supported nor desired, the best solution involves the ability to
extend ActionForm with interfaces rather than through inheritance.
Does anyone know why the ActionForm should not be defined as an interface
with a BasicActionForm providing the current implementation?
Would anyone care to caution me on making this change within my own version
of struts?
RE: Interface testing
I have a SuccessAction which is just an simple action that forwards to success. To test a JSP with the request first flowing through the ActionServlet you need only specify a mapping for the JSP to test in the struts-config.xml file. In the mapping specify SuccessAction as the type and your jsp as the success forward. You can define any path that you want. You still might need to create an associated ActionForm, however creating a stub ActionForm to test your JSP is fairly trivial. To test the back-end without having a JSP, I have defined a Snoop.JSP that works with a Snooper class. I have overridden the ActionServlet (i.e., the processActionForward) method to redirect any forwards to *.jsp to Snoop.jsp if the request has a http request parameter 'snoop'. Snoop.jsp with the assistance of the Snooper class uses java introspection to dump the contents of the session and request contents. This allows the Action (i.e., controller/model) to be developed independently of the view (i.e., JSP). -Original Message- From: Zach Thompson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2001 1:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Interface testing Thanks - I think JUnit will help a lot to improve my development process.

Struts Example using Prefix Matching
Does anyone have an example Struts application using prefix mapping where all URLs that start after the context path are routed to the ActionServlet? I would like a rigid model 2 architecture where all requests are routed through the controlling servlet.
Where are log messages going?
I have a modified version of the example application running in WebLogic 6.0. In the servlet configuration I have the following debug init parameter: init-param param-namedebug/param-name param-value1/param-value /init-param Unfortunately, I do not see any of the log messages from Struts. What else do I need to do? Tony Hardee
RE: Struts Example using Prefix Matching
Craig,
I had already made the change you mention below but it caused a number of
other issues.
1. Is the proper mapping in the struts-config.xml file
!-- Process a user logon --
actionpath="/logon"
type="com.xxx.gui.user.LogonAction"
name="logonForm"
scope="request"
input="/logon.jsp"
/action
or
!-- Process a user logon --
actionpath="logon"
type="com.xxx.gui.user.LogonAction"
name="logonForm"
scope="request"
input="/logon.jsp"
/action
It seems like the initial request path matches case two. However
subsequent forwarding need the first entry.
2. Image files (e.g., *.gif) files are routed through the controller but
are not forwarded or mapped.
Thank you for your assistance.

In your web.xml file change:

url-pattern*.do/url-pattern
