File Upload problem and Size Validation

[Hemanth Setty]

Hi all,
I am havig a problem on FileUploads in RC1...This problem occurs when I 
use the FormFile feature of struts. If the size of the file is lesser 
than the limit specified by the controller, everything seems to work 
fine...but when the size exceeds the limit then it fails on the 
validate() method of the form. But it does not redirect back to the same 
page. It returns to any empty page. The log level of debug shows correct 
redirects and even debug statements on the jsp prints out.. I dont know 
what the error could be.
I even tried the same thing with the struts-upload webapp that comes 
with RC1 and it was doing the same thing.
Any suggestions.??
Thanks
Hemanth

You should check out the FOP project on apache.It is a pretty good 
transformation tool and works pretty well.

Re: Too much log info in b3

[Hemanth Setty]

Struts uses log4j for logging..put these statements in your 
log4j.properties..to increase the logging

log4j.category.org.apache.commons=WARN, dest1, dest2
log4j.category.org.apache.struts=WARN, dest1, dest2

-h

I just upgraded my app to the latest 1.1b3 release of struts. Now I am 
getting insane logging regardless of what I set ActionServlet's debug

debugging.

One possibility is that my app does set up a root hierarchy in log4j 
with a DEBUG priority, but I wouldn't think this would affect struts 
logging.

Any ideas?

DynaActionForm change with 1.1-beta3 download

[Hemanth Setty]

Hello,

Well I just downloaded  1.1 beta 3 today and updated my application with 
the new libraries. There seems to be a difference in the way 
DynaActionForm gets initialized. Before beta 3...and as late as around 
dec 10th nightly build..DynaActionForm properties would get initialized 
to ...now in beta3 all the String form properties get initialized 
to empty string. Is this a bug or is this the way it is supposed to be?

More specifically...

pre 1.1b3
[DEBUG] org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils -  --> 
DynaActionForm[dynaClass=surveyMaintForm,category=,currentNodeId=,cmd=,ranking=,nodeName=] 


1.1b3
[DEBUG] org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils -  --> 
DynaActionForm[dynaClass=surveyMaintForm,category=,currentNodeId=,cmd=,ranking=,nodeName=] 


category and  ranking still remain  as they are defined as 
java.util.Map instead of Strings like the rest of the parameters..

I'm having some trouble getting this to work.  I get the error message
"javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: No getter method for property
categoryName(2) of bean org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN"

I have a HashMap in my form called categoryNames and a getter/setter like
this:
public void setCategoryName(String key, Object name) {
 this.categoryNames.put(key, name);
}

public Object getCategoryName(String key) {
 return this.categoryNames.get(key);
}

I put a bunch of AccountCategory objects in the session and then the jsp
loops through to display the input boxes like this:

Any ideas?  Do I need struts 1.1 for this (I'm using 1.0.2)?

RE: Security and Struts

[Hemanth Setty]

You could try using Filters. I am not sure if it will fit your needs but,
using a servlet filter will
eliminate the need to extend dispatch action just for audit trails.

Any recommendation to implementing audit trial under the struts frame work?
I was hoping to pushed the audit trail as backend as possible, if possible
invisible at the Action layer.  Did look into do it under either the a class
extending from Dispatch action and have the other class extending it.
However
another colleague of my was proposing to try out the forwardactionmap.
Any good practices/design that i can adopt?

multiple html:select boxes on the page

[Hemanth Setty]

Hello,
I am trying to figure about a good way to use multiple select boxes with the
same data on the same page. The page contains
and bunch of questions and select box with the type of question(EASY,
MEDIUM, HARD). The question are variable and I get them from the database
along with the type for the question. The problem I am having is this, I
cannot define multiple select boxes with the same name using a DynaForm. I
could use the DynaForm.get(i) method to get a particular index of value.
But is the order of parameters coming from the page guranteed to be in the
same order as the values that were set on the selectbox?
Ex

Q1 Blah Blah?  ...

Q2 Foo bar ? ...

Before the page get displayed i will get the form and set("type", 1,
"EASY"); and set("type", 2, "MEDIUM");

When the page shows up, I assume the order will be in the right order..

Now when I click on submit on the page..will I get the Q1's type in
get("type", 1) and q2's type in get("type", 2)??

Another alternative, not very elegant though, is to have a hidden fields
associated with each select box and the value of the hidden field will have
the name of the select box. Then use the http request object to get the
value from the select box. But this way I cannot use form beans to manage
the select boxes..because the names on the selectboxes will be dynamic.

A good way that would be nice is to have the dynaformbean take something
like this

 and ..to 
will automatically work with get("type1")... get("type5")...etc...
Maybe im going a little overboard here...I think the DynaBean will not
support that.

So anybody enlighten me a little bit here?
Thanks in advance and have a good weekend..for those of you celebrating
Labor Day

Cannot use an extended logger with the ValidationForm

Hello,

I have extened the Logger class to provide a custom logging mechanism.
(com.xxx.yyy.MyLogger) When I try to use this logger with a class extended
from ValidationForm (com.xxx.yyy.MyValidationForm), it wont work. As the
ValidationForm creates a logger and assignes the default logger
(org.apache.log4j.Logger) to com.xxx.yyy.MyValidationForm . So when I try to
get a my custom logger com.xxx.yyy.MyValidationForm, I always get
org.apache.log4j.Logger instead of com.xxx.yyy.MyLogger. Is this a bug or is
there a way to go about it..??

One other thing, Make sure your Startup Servlet does not extend

Problem with Struts 1.1b1 and Log4J 1.2.4

[Hemanth Setty]

Hello,

I have included both the Struts and Log4J packages in a webapp. Things
worked fine when I was using Struts 1.0.2. After I got the latest beta
realease of struts(1.1b1)..I get this error

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger
(org.apache.commons.digester.Digester).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

Does anybody know why this occurs? After digging in a little bit I realized
its because of the common-digester.jar file that comes with the struts1.1?
But why does this error show up? Should I just stick with 1.0.2 of struts
until a full release of 1.1?
