RE: Iterate Tag Question

[Jones, Marty B.]

Matt,

Yes it does.  I was hoping to get rid of scriplets if possible.  I cannot
use JSTL yet because our jsp container does not support the jsp 1.2 spec.
(Jrun 3.1).  We are going to migrate to Jrun 4 soon which supports the jsp
1.2 spec so I will be able to use JSTL then.  Guess I will have to use
scriplets until
then.

Thanks,

Marty

You can implement this just as you would in any other programming 
environment: by saving the previous and the current value in different 
variables.  You can do this using scriptlets, as I see you doing here. 
You can also do this using the JSTL (for more info, see the Jakarta 
Taglibs project), which you may find a little easier to work with once 
you get the hang of it.

Does that answer your question?

Does anyone know if the bean tag will allow you to pull a value from a class
that does not have getter or setter methods on the instance attributes?
Here is the scenerio that I have.

I have a ActionForm that has an array of Project objects.  The actionForm
has a getter and setter for the array of Project Objects.  The project
object itself is nothing more than a structure that has id and name
attributes. There are no methods within the Project object itself.  What I
need to do is iterate through the array of Project objects and pull the id
and name from each project.  I can iterate through the array of Projects
fine but when I attempt to get the id and name attribute from the Project it
fails stating that there is no get method for them.  

Does anyone know of a work around for this?  I can't modify the Project
object because it is automatically generated Stub class that is generated
from an application server and it would be overwritten the next time I
generate stubs for this component.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Sessions and ActionForm

Subject: Sessions and ActionForm


I have a registration wizard where I have a RegForm bean on the session
scope. Now if on the second page I decide to quite and I close the
browser (MS IE), and I open a new IE browser, and I go to registration,
the same form is there containing all the information that I entered in
the previous session. 

1) Doesn't a session ends (invalidates) once I close the browser?
No, The session will stay valid until the webcontainer invalidates
it or you programatically invalidate it.  Most webcontainers have a default
timeout
  value.
2) What is the best way to handle such situation of needing the
registration form always empty? The only thing that comes to my mind is
on the RegAction?method=init remove the RegForm from the session and
recreate a new one instead, or just call reset on the one that is there
on the session context. Will that work?

I think that your action will know when you are coming into the
registration view for the first time so you can reset your actionform or
re-create one.

Thanks,
Erze

I am using Tomcat 4.1.24, and have no problem generally putting these

Where can I find out what the rules are for folders to hold JSPs for

Any idea why this would be happening?

Are there limits to how deep or where the templates should be located

RE: Best place to hook the Security Call

[Jones, Marty B.]

This is what I mentioned earlier.  We needed more security flexability that
what the normal servlet container supports so we had to write our own
security handler.  The struts framework has a method hook in the
RequestProcessor class that will allow you to verify the users access rights
for each request.  The method is processPreprocess.

I agree with Alen, but at the same time if all the containers are
supporting J2EE security standards then porting to different containers
should not be an issue. SecurityFilter as I just browsed through seems
interesting but all the latest J2EE containers will have to support Servlet
2.3 for using the same. Alternatively whatif I write my own security piece
by looking up LDAP for A&A (authentication and authorization) and this
piece would be called from some place in the STRUTS control flow so that
for everyrequest security would be validated.

If I'm not mistaken, this approach is container specific hence would make
deployment on difference container(s) not as smooth as one would wish.
I may be wrong so please correct me! I'm not very clued up in this area. ;)

I have privilege working with servlet 2.3 and am now using SecurityFilter
component (www.securityfilter.org)  to handle my auth. Very simple!

overloading the processPreprocess method.  This method gives you the
opportunity to ensure that the user has access before the execute method is
called on the action.  Of course this method is called on every request.

Which is the best place to hook the security call for an application in the
STRUTS framework so that for every request security check is made. Does
STRUTS provide integration with any Security framework ?

DynaValidatorBean Error Question

[Jones, Marty B.]

I am getting the following error when I try to set the name and type
attribute of the  tag.  I have included a snippet of my login.jsp
file and my struts-config.xml file

The main reason I am trying to set them is because if I don't set them and
let the form tag configure itself with the appropriate bean, the action
attribute on the form is empty
(action="")  .  If someone can explain why the action attribute is not being
set then I will not worry about having to try to set the name and type
attributes of the form tag.


Any help with be greatly appreciated.

Marty Jones

I think the easiest way is to actually set validate to false on your
action and do it manually first thing in your execute:

// check for null values if there are just display the page otherwise

ActionErrors errors = yourForm.validate (...);
If (!errors.isEmpty ()) { return input mapping }

// everything is ok

RE: DynaValidatorForm question

[Jones, Marty B.]

I currently have that setting that you mentioned.  That is exactly the
problem that I am seeing.  If a user goes directly to the /login url.  The
LoginAction is being instatiated and the validator trys to validate
parameters that the user never had a chance to enter.

RE: DynaValidatorForm question

[Jones, Marty B.]

I think that I may be missing something here.  When using struts, how do you
load say a html form (using a jsp file) to the user initially without having
the Action class actually being processed and then being forwarded to the
view?  I defintely want to use the Validator class but I only want it to
validate when the user has actually submitted a form with request parameters
to that given action.
