Problems with struts release ?

[K.Viswanathan]

Hi
I am getting the following error in release1 of struts when I access
anything ending with ".do":

"Cannot initialize RequestProcessor of class
org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError -
javax.servlet.UnavailableException: Cannot initialize RequestProcessor of
class org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError.."

It does not seem to recognize ".do". but the web.xml has been configured
properly as I have been using struts beta 1.1 till date.

Any inputs on resolving this would be appreciated

Thanks
Vishy

Does struts support validation for dynamic form?

[K.Viswanathan]

Hi ,

i have a requirement where user has to fill up some kind of questionaire form. 
Questions for a user depends on the "type" of a user.  Questions are basically mutiple 
choice questions and the user can select the correct answer by selecting a radio 
button ( for each question there are five radio buttons each reparesenting a rating 
and the user is supposed to select a rating from 1 to 5 ). So the number of elements 
in the form can change based on the type of user.

Now i want to use struts validation frame work for performing validations. If the user 
leaves any of the answers empty by not selecting the radio button for a question , the 
system should not accept it and report an error displaying the same form with all the 
data entered for the form.

The question is :
How can i use the validation framework to perform validation? Please note that the 
form fields change (based on the user type) so it is not possible for me to associate 
them in "validator.xml"  before hand. Does struts provide any means to validate when 
the form elements are dynamic?

Thanks in advance
Vishy

Re: changing ActionForm to be a Java interface

[K.Viswanathan]

In this example, assuming that the employee id is long ( or for that matter
any other attribute of Employee , say age of int type ) , then will it not
be incorrect to have the EmployeeForm implementing  Employee interface?
Doing so the EmployeeForm is basically having a property of long/int type
rather than a String?

Thanks
Vishy

I should be a little more concise with property definition where as Employee
would have an id that was a long.  What you would like to see with Struts
development is to have all properties of an ActionForm be Strings instead of
integrating primitives.

Again, thanks for all your work

No, you're doing the reverse of what I would not want to see:

  public class EmployeeObject implements Employee, ActionForm

This is where you get into trouble over things like property types, as
well as making any user of EmployeeObject depend on Struts.

Your example correctly recognizes that EmployeeObject and EmployeeForm
are two totally differnt things, with different purposes and different
lifetimes.  And, note that neither Employee nor EmployeeForm have any
dependencies on Struts APIs, so they are reasonable to use in non-web
environments as well.

Re: i18n

[K.Viswanathan]

I am asking about general programming. I'd like to know What are the
advantages of MessageResources/PropertyMessages of  struts.util over the
ResourceBundle ( and other related classes )of java.


Excerpts from Chuck Cavaness's book ( chapter 3) :
The Java library includes a set of classes to support reading message
resources from either a Java class or a properties file. The core class in
this set is the java.util.ResourceBundle. The Struts framework provides a
similar set of classes, based around the
org.apache.struts.util.MessageResources class that provides similar
functionality, but provides for a little more flexibility that the framework
requires.

The standard Java support for Internationalization has grown with the past
several releases and the Struts framework could probably use what's included
with 1.2 and newer, but since Struts was created before 1.2, they had to
build in their own support for several key pieces. .

Chuck Cavaness's book  ( chapter  12)states that

 "The Struts framework does not use the ResourceBundle provided by the core
language. Instead, it provides similar functionality with the classes within
its framework. The org.apache.struts.util.MessageResources class and its
only concrete subclass, org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources, are
used to perform parallel functionality to that of the ResourceBundle
hierarchy. .."

Re: i18n

[K.Viswanathan]

Yes. Tag libraries are useful but what I wanted to know is what are the
advantages of using MessageResources,PropertyMessageResources etc .
We can define simple .properties files for every locale and use
ResourceBundles to get the data inside the message tag. Are there any
advantage of using the classes mentioned above?

Thanks

i18n

[K.Viswanathan]

Hi!

I'd be happy if anyone could clarify my basic doubt related to i18n . I'd
like to know what are the added features related to I18n implemented in
Struts over the one already supported by java? what are the advantages of
org.apache.struts.util.MessageResources  ( and other related classes) over
ResourceBundle?

Thanks

Design issue - Layouts or Tags?

[K.Viswanathan]

Hi

I believe we can create tags for components like tabs , trees etc. One can also create 
Layouts for them using Tiles ( There is a predefied layout available for tabs) . Which 
approach is better? 

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance

this be integrated with Struts? 

Any inputs on this will be appriciated

Thanks
