Re: Action Form Design Question
Personally, I've tried to stay away from putting data in the ActionForm
that isn't related to an actual form submission value. So if I have a
drop down with a list of countries for the user to choose, the list of
countries goes into the request attributes and the single choosen
country value goes into the ActionForm. That way, you don't need to
repopulate the Country List when the user submits their form, something
you might have to do if you put the list into the ActionForm.
This is just what has worked for me. I've definitely struggled with
where to put data and I'm going to be curious to see other replies to
your question.

I've hit a stumbling block and I'm not quite sure how to work around
it. I've written struts apps in the past and I've taken the approach
of putting everything in the ActionForm so that the jsp has a one stop
shop for all it's display needs. So where I've hit an issue is when
say I have jsp A that is rendered with form A. When user submits data
to action A, the ActionForm pushed to execute is form A. What happens
when I need to forward from action A to jsp B which is rendered with
form B? I need to populate an ActionForm B to send to jsp B, but I
don't have one. Is it "normal" to create a form of a different type
in your Action? So essentially the code would look something like:
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception
{
FormA inputForm = (FormA)form;
Result result = doSomeCrunchingOnDataSubmittedViaFormA(inputForm);
FormB outputForm = getInstanceOfFormB(mapping, request); //this
would stash in request/session also
populateFormBWithResults(outputForm, result);
return mapping.findForward("success");
}
getInstanceOfFormB is a little hazy, but I did notice a method in
RequestUtils that might help. Seems like this might be breaking some
struts abstractions by knowing what form to create etc.
Is this the correct way to approach this or should I think about a
redesign of my forms and actions? Thanks in advance!

Re: One form, multiple JSPs, multiple validations
What you're looking for is a way to validate a form with multiple "pages". Read this, paying special attention to "Multi Page Forms" http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/dev_validator.html K.C.

I want to use XML form validation (DynaValidatorForm) using validator-rules.xml and my validaton.xml. Right now my application is working fine. Now I want to use different validation rules for the same form, accross multiple JSPs. For example: - TestForm is a DynaValidatorForm String name String address - test1.jsp I want to show one text box to fill the "name" property: (...) (...) - test2.jsp I want to show one text box to fill the "address" property: (...) (...) - struts-config.xml (...) (...) - validaton.xml (...) (...)

Then I forward to test2.jsp, fill the "address" property and now I want to validate only the "address" property. How can I do this? The problem is, what identifies a rule in validation.xml is the form name. I could define different names for my form in the struts-config.xml but imagine if I had 10 JSPs for each form.

Re: Struts Validator mask
I'm not familiar with the use of double quotes in regexes. However, you
seem to have the right idea. Instead of quotes, try using \\ in place
of each \ you want to match. E.g.:
^\\(\\[A-Za-z0-0_-]+)+\\?$
Quick explanation
\\ - Must start with a single backslash
(\\[A-Za-z0-0_-]+) - A pattern representing a backslash followed by one
or more valid letters/numbers/symbols. If - is the last character in a
[ ] block, it loses its special meaning and just matches -.
The pattern is wrapped in () and specified to occur 1 or more times with
+.
Finally, there's a trailing \\? saying the path may optionally end with
\. Don't know if you want that or not.
NOTE: this pattern won't allow "\\". Don't know if that matters.

Re: From prepopulation, validation and reset
I'd like an answer to this one too. (It's fortuitous--I just ran into this problem today) K.C. Craig Margenau wrote: The prepopulation of form offered through ActionForms and the html:form tag is great, the only problem is that when the validate method returns errors, and your input page is called again, the reset() method is called thus nullifying any user inputed values. So if a user screws up 1 field on a 20 field form, when the errors are displayed it wipes out the rest of the form. Sure there are ways around this, I use an html:hidden attribute (as someone else suggested) to pass a "noreset" param, then check that in the ActionForm's reset function. This works well but is kinda a kludge. I also understand that you can extend ActionConfig or RequestProcessor to handle this, but again that's more complex than most would like. The author has mentioned that adding a "reset=true/false" in the Action section of struts-config was purposely not implemented, and I can kinda understand that too, but how about a validate-error-reset="true/false" property so that you can disable the reset function only if a validation error occurs? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How to automatically trim Strings from forms?
How do you handle trimming the Strings entered in a form? With a regular ActionForm, I supposed you could do the trimming in the setter, although you'd have to do it for every property that needed to be trimmed.

But an interesting snafu employing Netscape (as opposed to IE) has arisen with this schema: you can evoke the appropriate forward from both browsers when submitting a form, yet if you attempt to link to the same page via an href, IE finds its way to the correct page but Netscape apparently searches for the forward in the same directory as the calling page (paying no attention to the action-mapping).

Re: How to differentiate between timed-out user and new user?
This solution worked great. Just to finish the topic, here's what I did
based on TPP's advice:
- Created a Filter which examines the session ID of every request. If
the sessionID is invalid, it is compared to a Set of known SessionIDs.
If the Set contains the ID, then the user has timedout and is redirected
to an appropriate page. Here are the relevant methods of the
TimeoutFilter class:
HashSet previousSessionIDs;
public void init(javax.servlet.FilterConfig filterConfig)
throws javax.servlet.ServletException
{
// Get the target redirect page from the web.xml config.
timeoutPage = filterConfig.getInitParameter("timeoutPage");
}
public void doFilter(ServletRequest servletRequest, ServletResponse
servletResponse,
FilterChain filterChain) throws java.io.IOException,
javax.servlet.ServletException
{
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)servletRequest;
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)servletResponse;
if( !request.isRequestedSessionIdValid() )
{
if( previousSessionIDs.contains(
request.getRequestedSessionId() ) )
{
log.debug( "We have seen this session ID before" );
RequestDispatcher rd =
request.getRequestDispatcher("/timedout.jsp");
rd.forward( request, response );
return;
}
else
{
log.debug( "We have not seen this session ID before" );
}
}
filterChain.doFilter(request, response);
}
I use a SessionListener to record the SessionIDs when they are created.
I'm not sure yet how I'm going to handle the Set filling up with
SessionIDs. I'll have to find some way to expire them.

Store the session ID the user is associated with

logs in. Clear it when the user logs out.
On every request, capture the session ID the browser

If the session has timed out, search the user repository
for the same session ID.
If you find one, you'll know the session has timed out
(user never logged out, so the session ID was not cleared).
If you don't find one (or there is no session ID sent

Re: nested bean parameters
Sounds like getStartingLocation is returning a null, and so can't call getLocationId on a null object. K.C.

What kind of output are you getting? It is possible something is wrong with the logic:iterate rather than the bean:write? Mick Knutson wrote: I have a Collection of AlertDto's. Each AlertDto has a method called getStartingLocation() that returns a LocationDto. That LocationDto has a method called getLocationTitle(). How, in a JSP can I get the locationTitle?

Re: A question on Tiles and Frames
Overflow is actually a standard CSS feature that IE only partially supports. In Mozilla, you can do this with a lot more elements including tables where the header remains fixed while the data scrolls. K.C. Mike Jasnowski wrote: Well, depending on the web client you are using, IE has a feature that enables some block level elements like to be scrollable. You can set an "overflow" CSS property that enables a scrollbar to appear.There are also cross-browser solutions for making independent (non-frame) scrollable areas of content. -Original Message- From: Nimish Chourey , Tidel Park - Chennai [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 9:42 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: A question on Tiles and Frames I had the same problem .. while developing a Menu (left side) .. wanted to make that scrollable ..

Re: Looking for File Upload Example
If you downloaded the Struts binary distribution, try looking at the struts-upload webapp in the webapps/ directory of the distribution. Copying the .war file to your Tomcat/webapps dir should auto-deploy it and you should be able to direct your browser at http:///struts-upload to see the example. K.C.

Re: [OT] IDE with easy tomcat upgrade?
This discussion would likely be more productive on the nbusers email list. That being said, Netbeans can definitely attach to any properly configured external java process and remotely debug it. How you actually configure that for Tomcat is a bit complicated, although it's much simpler for servlets than JSPs. Google terms likely to yield useful info: attach JPDA debug K.C. isaac wrote: On 6/16/03 11:09 AM, "Aaron Longwell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Isaac, I have been playing with Eclipse and NetBeans for a few days... I am leaning toward NetBeans as well. The interface is a little clunkier.. and I'm not much of a fan of the "filesystems" concept. I have a question about your "external Tomcat" comment. I have never done servlet-debugging before... (in the real sense... of using a debugger). NetBeans has that built-in Tomcat functionality... but I can't figure out how to use it... especially to test a jsp in the protected WEB-INF directory... (fronted by an Action of course). Have you used the internal Tomcat before? Is there a way to use NetBeans to debug an external servlet (I am running Tomcat as NT Service on WinXP). Thanks, Aaron I don't believe you can monitor an external process. If you want to run your project within NetBeans click on the "Runtime" tab. Under Server Registry -> Installed Servers -> Tomcat, you will find the internal installation of Tomcat. If you right click the icon you will see all of the options available to you (starting, stopping, etc). The NetBeans installation runs on port 8081. If you need to add an external installation of Tomcat, right click on the "Tomcat" menu and select "Add Tomcat Installation". I am pretty sure this will modify your server.xml file, so, make a back up... I am not an expert on NetBeans by any means, so, I hope this helps.
