RE: Header for errors (no HTML in the .properties file)

[Karr, David]

I think that would be "requestScope", not "request".

Someday someone's going to write a TLV for development that throws an
exception if any symbol referenced in an EL expression doesn't exist
(I'm not even sure that algorithm would have caught your error, though).

RE: Problem with tags and overloaded methods

[Karr, David]

Just so it's clear, I'm assuming that you have the "get" method
overloaded, with the same method name being used for two different
properties (even if you consider them the same conceptual property).

I would guess that's always a bad idea.  I'm somewhat surprised that it
works on one platform with the same appserver, and doesn't on the other.
Are they using the same WLS version and JDK version?

Subject: Problem with tags and overloaded methods


I've got a FormBean that includes a collection of beans. I have two
getters for this collection: one indexed, and one not indexed. The
non-indexed one returns the entire collection, the indexed one returns a
single member of the collection. The normal arrangement.

I use JSTL tags to refer to the unindexed getter: a  set that tests whether the collection is empty, then a
 tag that puts the contents on the page.

I have a copy of BEA Weblogic on my local machine, for development. In
that environment everything works perfectly. Then there's another copy
of BEA Weblogic on a Unix box that's available to everybody. That's
where I put my WAR file when I've got it working, so others can use it,
and find bugs, etc.

But the application fails on that "public" server. It tells me that it
is "unable to find a value for "allItems" in object of class
"..ItemBeanList". Changing the name of the unindexed getter, so that
it's no longer an overloaded function, makes it work.

I can't figure out why this works on my desktop and fails on the server.
All tld and jar files for the tags are included in the WAR file.

I reiterate, I believe it's a bad idea to use the same method name for
two different property mappings.  If you can find some documentation
that recommends you do that, I'd like to see it.

WLS = "WebLogic Server".

Hmm..the local server is using JDK  1.3.1_06, and the dev server is
using 1.3.1_10. I don't know what WLS is.

Hmm...we were warned that 1.3.1_10 was more picky that what we had been
using on the dev server in parsing properties. I'll have to look closely
at the page that works in both environments with no changes, I thought
it was doing the same thing in a couple of places.

RE: Suppresing the generation of blank lines while using logic tags - Ver 1.0.2

[Karr, David]

It's the newline between "%>" and "<%" that is causing you problems (not
to mention the design of your page, but that's a different matter).  If
you do things like:

... <%ns:tagname stuff="value"
%><%ns:nothertag morestuff="morevalue"
%><%...

Then you will reduce the newlines in your output.  This gets annoying to
read, however.

RE: EL - can't get access to my constants

[Karr, David]

You haven't shown the EL syntax that you're trying to use.  If you're just trying to 
reference normal properties, note that property accessors cannot be static methods, 
they have to be normal instance methods.

If you're trying to reference constants, you might be better off putting the constant 
values into a map, keyed by the symbol name.  You could either do this manually with a 
small number of constants, or automatically using reflection.

I also believe that the JSP 2.0 "function" syntax (which I'm not that familiar with 
yet) might allow you to use a static method.

You might be better off asking about this on the taglibs-user list.

RE: Accessing static field using EL

[Karr, David]

This is a very FAQ.  You should read the JSTL specification.  The EL can
only reference standard JavaBean properties, collections, and maps.  If
you only have a couple of constants to reference, I would put them into
session or application properties in your application init logic.  If
you have many constants, you might consider having a class use
reflection to grab all the constants in a class and put them into a
hashmap, keyed by the variable name.

I believe this is typically done by keeping track of the current "page number" and

RE: iteration and EL help needed

[Karr, David]

When you say that you got an exception with the "indexed" attribute, I'm
assuming you mean that you tried to add an "indexed" attribute to the
"c:forEach" tag.  The "indexed" attribute goes on the tags being
iterated over, not the iterate/forEach tag.  The tags which are iterated
over should be able to support an "indexed" attribute whether you're
using "logic:iterate" or "c:forEach".

I believe your "html:hidden" and "html:text" elements need a "name"
attribute, probably with a value of "item".

This is the problem I am trying to solve.
I want to submit a DynaValidatorForm with multiple hidden/text inputs
that have the same name. This is a list of items and quantities that I
am trying to update with one submit (e.g. itemId, quantity). Is this
what the 'indexed' input attribute is supposed to help with? Will the
validator understand how to apply the rule for itemId to every indexed
instance of itemId? Will DynaValidatorForm receive an array of itemIds
and quantities?

Since the items are stored in a collection, I want to iterate over them,
outputting the input fields. With c:forEach, I get an exception that the
indexed attribute is not supported. With logic-el:iterate, I get a name
attribute that looks like
name="org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN[1].itemId" - that doesn't look
right at all.

I am using Struts 1.1rel (and the struts-el JAR in the contrib dir) with
JSTL 1.0 in Resin 2.x.x. 
Has anyone seen behavior like this and know how I can fix it? 
Or am I barking up the wrong tree trying to submit my form in this
fashion?

As other posters pointed out, just use Struts-EL, and you'll end up

Note that I recommend using the same prefix with Struts-EL as you do
with the base library, although my earlier "documentation" (and I use

RE: Detect messages with Jstl

Why are you trying to avoid the logic taglib?  If there's not much left from it that 
you use, then so be it.  You use what you need and leave the rest.  If you use the 
Struts-EL version, there's not much left in it in the first place.

You'll find that directly referencing most (all?) of the Struts data structures 
through JSTL will be somewhat painful.  Many of them are identified with somewhat long 
dot-separated names, which makes it necessary to reference them explicitly through the 
"scope map" (sessionScope, requestScope, etc.).

RE: Struts Tag Lib and Performance

The JSTL is not part of Struts, but it can easily be used along with it.
There is also a variation of the Struts tag libraries that evaluates
attribute values using the same expression evaluation engine that the
JSTL uses (the Apache implementation, at least).  This is called
"Struts-EL", and it's available in the "contrib" directory of the Struts
distribution.

Raj,
Which taglibs do you not want to use? If you don't use the Struts html
taglibs, you will lose a lot of the functionality that they provide,
namely prepopulation of form input values. A lot of the other tags also
provide functionality that lets you avoid having to use scriptlets. Some
functionality is overlapped by the JSTL tags and in those cases, it is
preferable to use JSTL instead of the struts equivalents.

Overall, you probably won't lose much in performance, if you don't use
the Struts tags, but you'll have to do a lot more work yourself and this
may come at the expense of maintainability and readability of your JSP
pages.

Besides the other problem with the order of parameters to the setter,

work.

Also, I believe you can remove the 'indexed="true"' attribute, as you're
doing your own indexing.

RE: JAAS and roles attribute of logic:present

[Karr, David]

Are you using basic auth, or form auth?  I would use form auth, but I
don't know that it would make a difference.

You may have to secure the entire application with a role that all users
will be guaranteed to have.

RE: JAAS and roles attribute of logic:present

[Karr, David]

I'm not sure what problem you're having.  Are you saying that after you
specify your login when accessing a secured area, you then immediately
(before session timeout) access an unsecured area that checks
"role=admin" and thinks you don't have that role (I would be surprised
if it did that)?  Or is your first access (without an existing session)
to the unsecured area?  If that's the case, then there definitely won't
be an existing principal.  Did you think there would be?

I am using JAAS to login to the secure areas of my application,

Using  within pages with 
localhost:8080/app/admin as the base url works perfectly, but when I try

to use it in any other url localhost:8080/app the principle is null. Is 
it possible to manually add the JAAS subject to the HttpSession so that 
it can be used with the logic tags?If so by which key must it be added

Hello,

I am using Struts 1.2 (nightly build as of 17 Dec 2003) and am trying
out using the tiles-el. When I replace my tiles taglib with tiles-el, I
am getting this error

/WEB-INF/tiles/layout/main_layout.jsp(4): Error in using tag library
uri='/WEB-INF/taglib/struts-tiles-el.tld' prefix='tiles': The Tag class
'org.apache.strutsel.taglib.tiles.ELUseAttributeTag' has no setter
method corresponding to TLD declared attribute 'classname', (JSP 1.1
spec, 5.4.1) probably occurred due to an error in
/WEB-INF/tiles/layout/main_layout.jsp line 4: <%@ taglib
uri="/WEB-INF/taglib/struts-tiles-el.tld" prefix="tiles" %> 

On looking at the source of ELUseAttributeTag.java, am finding that
there is no setter for the classname attribute which has been defined in
the struts-tiles-el.tld file.

Have any of you seen this problem? Is this a known bug?

Thanks,
Sunitha

RE: Struts EL status

[Karr, David]

To summarize a couple of points already stated here:

The base Struts library doesn't use the EL because the JSTL requires JSP
1.2, and Struts is still supported on containers which only provide JSP
1.1.  If you write your JSP code to use the same prefixes as before
("html", "bean", etc.), but referencing the "el" library in your
"taglib" directive, then when your container is upgraded to support JSP
2.0, you can just change the "taglib" directive to point back to the
base library, and the rest of the code will port as-is.

RE: Error while accessing the application

[Karr, David]

Just for clarification to others, your last line abbreviates the fact
that in a Servlet 2.3 container, it's not necessary to include the TLDs,
either in the "/WEB-INF" directory, or referenced in the "web.xml", if
you reference the canonical URI in the "taglib" directives in the JSP
pages.  The "canonical" URI for the tag library is listed in the TLD for
the tag library.  There are differences of opinion on which of these
strategies is preferable.  There are tradeoffs both ways.

-Original Message-
From: Jim Kennedy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 

Hi Melanie,

don't really see anything wrong right off the bat, but let's walk
through what has to be configured:

Place all your tlds in the WEB-INF directory (looks good here) Place all
required struts library JARs in the lib directory of your web appl
Configure your web.xml to include the TLDs, here's an example of one of
my projects:

  
  index.html
  index.jsp
  
  
  /WEB-INF/c-rt.tld
  /WEB-INF/c-rt.tld
  
  
  /WEB-INF/c.tld
  /WEB-INF/c.tld
  
  
  /WEB-INF/fmt-rt.tld
  /WEB-INF/fmt-rt.tld
  
  
  /WEB-INF/fmt.tld
  /WEB-INF/fmt.tld
  
  
  /WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld
  /WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld
  
  
  /WEB-INF/struts-html.tld
  /WEB-INF/struts-html.tld
  
Finally configure the JSP to include (or point) to the proper tag
definition, here's an example:

  <%@ page import="java.util.*"%>
  <[EMAIL PROTECTED] uri="/WEB-INF/c.tld" prefix="c" %>
  <[EMAIL PROTECTED] uri="/WEB-INF/fmt.tld" prefix="fmt" %>
  <[EMAIL PROTECTED] uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
  <[EMAIL PROTECTED] uri="/WEB-INF/pager-taglib.tld" prefix="pg" %>
  <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/security.tld" prefix="security" %>
  <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html-el.tld" prefix="html-el" %>

I always reference tlds from the /WEB-INF directory, not from within the
library JAR.

RE: JSTL

[Karr, David]

That's right.  It's important to realize that most non-trivial
applications will often use more than one tag library.  There is no good
reason to try to restrict yourself to a single tag library.

In the case of Struts, it's very beneficial to use the Struts tag
library along with the JSTL.  In addition, the "Struts-EL" contrib
package (in the "contrib" directory) is a port of the Struts tags (the
ones that aren't directly served by the JSTL), using the expression
evaluation engine of the Jakarta Taglibs JSTL implementation.

You may replace most of Logic tags/Bean tags with JSTL.

RE: Form variables not reset

It's a little hard to understand exactly what's happening here, but did
you try setting a breakpoint in one or more of the setter methods on
actionform B?  If I'm understanding what you're saying, I think I would
expect the setter methods of B to be called with similar values as you
had in form A (after the reset method is called).

Hi 
I have 2 form beans in request scope. Say formbean A and formBean B. I
have some fields common  in both the jsps and so I have identical 
getter/setter methods in both beans. When Action Form A is called, it
has non null values for these fields. It performs the business logic and
forwards it to actionform B. The reset method of B is called where I am
setting all the fields of Form bean B to null...( I can see that in the
debug mode)... But once it comes to actionForm B, it still has the same
values in all the common variables

I thought the form values are tied to the form bean, so even though the
second form bean has some fields same as the first bean, it is a new
different bean and so I would expect all the value parameters to be
reset.

I am not able to understand why one form beans values are retained in
another form bean?

First of all, what release of 9iAS are you using (9.0.2, 9.0.3, etc.)?

When you say it doesn't "support" those features, what exactly do you

OH.  Sigh.  I had originally set all the attributes on the EL tags to
have that set to "false", because in JSP 1.2 that refers to whether it
will use scriptlet expressions or not, and I wanted to discourage the
use of those.  I had recently decided to change those back to "true" out
of a sudden attack of pragmatism, but now I see that this (the "false"
setting) is causing a more serious problem.  In JSP 2.0, the meaning of
this flag is slightly different (I'm assuming) in that it appears a
setting of "false" means it won't evaluate EL expressions.

I'll try to get to fixing these tonight and getting it into the nightly
build, at least.

RE: Two basic questions regarding logic:equal

[Karr, David]

If you can use a Servlet 2.3 web container, you could instead use the
JSTL and Struts-EL.  Then, you could use the more powerful expression
language in the JSTL.  You can easily do boolean (multi-element)
comparisons in the EL.

-Original Message-
From: Jitesh Sinha [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 

1.)How do you compare one property of a bean with two values by a single
logic:equal tag?I want to achieve the following logic:

if(str.equals("astr") || str.equals("anotherstr"))

I guess logic:equal tag is for only one comparison...so what you  people
think is the most efficient way to achieve this?

2.)How do you compare one property of a bean with a value ignoring the
case by a logic:equal tag?I want to achieve the following logic:

if(str.equalsIgnoreCase("astr"))

RE: query on tag

[Karr, David]

If I'm understanding you correctly, "OrgChartImageAction.do" is the
action that on submission will GENERATE the coordinates that you need in
the REFERENCE to "OrgChartImageAction.do".  It seems like this won't
work.  You need to have your setup action for this page generate the
coordinates for the map, and then have this page submit to a different
action.

RE: upgrading Struts 1.1 to jdk 1.4 and weblogic 8.1 -Compilation errors

[Karr, David]

I doubt the JDK version upgrade is relevant here.  Are you using WLS 8.1
or 8.1 SP1?  Check with BEA support to get any relevant patches.  It's
possible that patch "CR112789" will resolve this.

RE:

[Karr, David]

The issue you're referring to is that you can't nest custom tags inside
custom tags.  The HTML "input" tag is not a custom tag, it's not
processed by the server in any way.  Also note that if you just use the
"html:hidden" tag from Struts-EL, you can do the same thing in less code
by using an EL expression for the attribute value (instead of an
embedded "c:out" element).

RE: Weird form! No data to action but all seems ok. Others work!

[Karr, David]

It might be your property names.  They appear to begin with multiple uppercase 
letters.  Try changing them to begin with at least two lowercase letters, and make 
your setters/getters uppercase the first character of the property name part.

submitted
- The JSP fields are not copyed to form object fields (that is the 
problem!!!)
- The request have a non filled form object
- Text fields does not work, too. :((
- The JSP is rendered property.
- The validation method on form object is executed, but none of the setters.

RE: Calling a javascript function with the tag

[Karr, David]

This is a very good reason to start using Struts-EL, the contrib tag
library that integrates the expression language of the JSTL with Struts
tags.

Your "bean:write" call in the attribute of the "html:link" tag doesn't
work because you can't embed custom tags in the attributes of custom
tags.

If you move to using Struts-EL (and the JSTL), your original code would
now look like this (and should work):

Try changing the property value reference in your JSP to reference

Any validation logic in the ActionForm should only be basic syntactical
validation, and no semantic validation.  Semantic validation belongs in
your Action class, and likely in business logic called from your Action
class.

RE: can not get bean property, help!!

[Karr, David]

That's a different error.  You always have to quote attribute values.
Start with that, and focus on the other problem.  Try restating your
problem, showing exactly what you have and what error you're getting.

RE: Using logic:iterate with twin Collections

[Karr, David]

Try changing your "property" attribute to the following:
  '<%= "keyFields[" + index + "]" %>'

This is assuming you really do have an indexed property setter for the
"keyFields" property.

RE: Using logic:iterate with twin Collections

[Karr, David]

You'll have to use the "indexId" attribute to allow you to reference the
index value, and then directly reference the entry of the other
collection using that value.

I'm assuming you're pursuing this with BEA Support?

You might turn on "-verbose:class" on the JVM.  It might give you a
clue.

Check to see what other jars are in the EAR classpath (like in the
appserver).

Yes, you're doing something wrong :) .  We just don't have enough
information to know for sure what that is.

Is that really the "href" attribute value, beginning with "./"?  That
period doesn't make any sense.

You can be sure that "Struts doesn't do anything" is certainly false,
you just haven't looked closely enough to see what it did.  Can you
verify whether it got into the "execute" method of your Action?  Did it
find a non-null ActionForward to return?

RE: Retrieving value of java script variable in a Scriplet

[Karr, David]

I'm afraid you've misunderstood the lifecycle of scriplet code vs.
JavaScript code.  Scriptlets are executed on the server side, and
generate output which is processed on the client side, which includes
the JavaScript that you've generated. The JavaScript is then executed on
the client side.  Thus, the scriptlet code and the JavaScript code are
executed at completely different times, in very different environments.

RE: How-to hide JSPs in WEB-INF (OT?)

[Karr, David]

Yup.  However, there is a possible trick (which I haven't tried) which
is related to this.  You could still set your welcome file to "index.do"
(along with the security constraint for JSPs) if you just create a plain
file named "index.do", whose contents are irrelevant.  Apparently, the
container starts to serve the plain file, but the servlet mapping
handles it first.  One of these days I should actually try that :) , to
verify whether it works for me.

This is one of those aspects that BEA interpreted a little differently
than other vendors.  The spec says (paraphrased) that you can't serve
content from the WEB-INF directory.  BEA took that to mean even
"forward" references, but most other vendors allow that.

The other strategy for protecting direct access to JSP urls, is adding a
security constraint for all JSP pages, for the role "nobody".  That will
allow you to prevent direct URL references to JSP pages, but still allow
forwards to them.

There are two clues here.  First, the fact that it says the bean is
"org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN" means that you haven't associated
the reference with an existing ActionForm or bean.  Second, these
accessors have to go in your ActionForm or bean class, not in the Action
class.

The name of your instance variable is irrelevant (in reference to other
responses to this question).

What do you mean "is not found"?  Are you getting an error message?  If
so, what's the error message?  Are you including the taglib directives
for the Struts tag libraries?  It's hard to help if you don't tell us
exactly what happened.

The best advice I could give would be to read the JSP specification, the
JSTL specification, and the Struts user guide and api reference.

RE: how to replace

[Karr, David]

You can use "" and specify a "var" attribute to put the
result into a scoped variable.  Note that part of the setup for the
"fmt" tag library is setting the
"javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.localizationContext" context parameter to
the "class name" of your properties file (normally just the base name).

It may seem odd, but the "name" attribute of the "action" element is
associated with the form bean.  If you change the value from
"shoppingCart" to "ShoppingCartForm" (or vice versa), then they will
match up.

Mapped properties call setter method twice?

[Karr, David]

Gee, it's been a while since I've gotten to write some code actually
USING Struts instead of inside of it (the EL part, at least).

I'm using Struts 1.1, with WebLogic 8.1.

I have a multibox that is using a mapped property.  The setter in the
bean properly gets called with the key and value.  The odd thing is that
the setter gets called twice.  The stack trace is identical between the
two calls.  In my test case, I have two checked checkboxes, and I see
the setter get called first with the first checkbox value, then with the
second checkbox value, then it does them both again.

This isn't critical, as each call is sending the same data, I'm just
trying to understand why it would be calling the method twice.

RE: Combining struts and JSTL tags...

[Karr, David]

Well, I don't know exactly what your parse exception is, but you
probably want to use "Struts-EL" instead of plain Struts, if you're
using JSTL.  It integrates better with the JSTL than plain Struts.

Also, you appear to be using the TLD from Struts 1.0.2, not Struts 1.1.

First of all, if noone's mentioned this yet, the "taglibs-user" list is
a better place to discuss this.

I believe that the following will do what you want:

  

The similar expression of:

RE: JSTL in html-el:option

This may have nothing to do with your problem, but the "value" attribute
of "html-el:option" should be "${status.count}" and not "".
That's the whole point of the library :) .

RE: Struts Action in Welcome File List

[Karr, David]

Well, I haven't tried this, but I did notice someone a while ago saying
that this DOES work, as long as you use a small trick.  The
"welcome-file" does have to specify a file that exists, but that doesn't
mean the web container will actually SERVE that file.  The person who
mentioned this said that they just created the named file and gave it
arbitrary contents (like "This will never be served to the client").
The web container then passed the URL to the controller, which forwarded
to the appropriate action.

RE: How to use JSTL taglib with struts html taglib

[Karr, David]

In the "contrib" directory of the Struts distribution, you'll find the
"Struts-EL" distribution, which is a "port" of the Struts tag library
that uses the JSTL EL engine to evaluate attribute values.  Search the
archives for "Struts-EL".  There is a "README" in the Struts-EL
distribution, and there's a few paragraphs in the Struts website
documentation.  Despite the extreme paucity of documentation for it, it
should be relatively clear how to use it, along with references from the
archives.

RE: Struts and JSTL - Basic Questions

[Karr, David]

You can use the Struts tag library with the JSTL, although you'd get
better integration with the "Struts-EL" tag library, which is part of
the Struts distribution.  This is an integration of the Struts tag
library with the EL engine in the JSTL.

The pre-JSP2.0 version of the JSTL can be used with Struts 1.1 on
JSP1.2-compliant containers.

RE: tag causing 500 error under OC4J

[Karr, David]

If you're getting a 500 error, that means your server had an error.
Check the server log to see what broke.

You aren't by any chance mapping "html" to the "html-el" tag library,
are you?

RE: html:reset and DynaValidatorForm / LookupDispatchAction

[Karr, David]

Uh, no, they really do have nothing to do with each other.  The "reset" tag is used 
entirely on the client side.  The "reset" method is used on the server side, just 
before populating the ActionForm from request parameters.  Clicking the reset button 
does not call the reset method.

If it isn't working, then show us what you did, and show exactly what
happened.  It's hard for us to help if we don't know what you did.

When I built Struts-EL, I just concentrated on the three core libraries.
After the 1.1 release, I'm going to try to build both "tiles-el" and
"nested-el".

The only way the EL can reference the nested information is if the
information is stored in bean properties in one of the valid scopes.  I
haven't examined how and where the nested tags do this.

There were some particular problems with Struts-EL in RC1, but RC2
should be fine.  I haven't heard of any more issues.

RE: Checkbox problem?

[Karr, David]

Generally, a good strategy is to have a "prepare" action and a "process" action.  Your 
"prepare" action is where you would set your boolean form properties.  You then 
forward to the JSP, which renders the checkboxes.  The "process" action (from 
submitting the form) will determine whether the checkboxes are set or not.

RE: What are "indexed" struts-html tags and how to use them?

[Karr, David]

I wrote a long FAQ description in the documentation about this, and I'm
still not sure I can adequately answer this question, as it can be
somewhat confusing.  You could read that at <
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/faqs/index.html>.  Select the "indexed
properties" link.

Basically, you use indexed tags when you want the resulting "name" of an
HTML component to reference array indexes, so you can move values in and
out of a collection/array in your form bean instead of scalars.

The indexed tags work along with either the "logic:iterate" or
"c:forEach" tags.

RE: Problem with ExpressionEvaluatorManager in a custom jstl tag

[Karr, David]

First of all, you'll get better luck asking this on the "taglibs-user" list.

I'm assuming you have the call to EEM in a try/catch, and you're not seeing an 
exception there, which would indicate that EEM is throwing a RuntimeException 
subclass.  You might temporarily add a catch for that so you can look at it a little 
closer.

RE: calling actions directly

[Karr, David]

Unfortunately, not all web containers will support this.  There was
apparent disagreement on the interpretation of the specification in this
area.  In particular, WebLogic does not support this.  I believe,
however, that in version 8.1 it's possible to do this, although I
believe you have to set some non-standard configuration flag.  I don't
know the details.

The alternative is to put all JSP pages into a security constraint on a
role that no user is set to.

It will stay in the contrib directory, or move out to a separate
release.  It will never go into the base Struts distribution, for good
reason.  Once JSP 2.0 is commonly available, the EL notation will be
natively supported, and Struts-EL won't be needed.

RE: struts (and JSTL) expression language questions

[Karr, David]

Read the JSTL specification.  It should clarify some of these issues.
If you write pages that avoid using scriptlets (perhaps by concentrating
on the MVC paradigm), you won't have these issues (except for the
constants issue).

If you have specific questions about the JSTL, it would be better to ask
them on the "taglibs-user" list.

RE: Struts Logic iterate vs JSTL Code forEach

[Karr, David]

The "iterate" tag was originally ported because the indexed tag
functionality wouldn't work with "c:forEach".  This has since been
rectified, but I didn't think it would be a good idea to remove it from
the library after I released it (even though it's never been in a

RE: [JSTL] Hashtable

[Karr, David]

Ask questions about the JSTL on the "taglibs-user" list.  You can also
read the JSTL specification for clear answers to these questions.

Somehow change PropertyMessageResources to enhance testability?

[Karr, David]

It's easy to see that in normal operation, it's a good idea for
"PropertyMessageResources" to be a read-only repository.  There's no
good reason to change message properties at runtime.  However, it would
be really nice to be able to write Cactus tests that are self-contained,
so I can manually create the properties that a tag will use, so I can
clearly verify the result.

Is there any strategy for doing this?  Does StrutsTestCase have any way
to do this?

Another alternative would be to use WebLogic Express, which is WebLogic

platform, and will satisfy the suits.

RE: Tiles Insert tag using EL expression

[Karr, David]

The problem is that we haven't built a "tiles-el" library.  That's one
of the things I'd like to accomplish in the 1.2 (1.1.1?) time frame.
It's not that difficult, but I don't want to implement any more major
changes for 1.1.  Until then, I guess that attribute has to take a
scriptlet expression, however you build it.

RE: Netscape and struts-html.tld-Eventhandler

[Karr, David]

The "onclick" in "" is not a "handler", it is a custom tag
attribute.  The Tag Library Descriptor describes those attributes,
including their exact spelling.  If the TLD specifies a particular
spelling, then you have to use that spelling.  If you want to write
JavaScript functions that follow that convention you describe, then
that's fine.  Reference those function names in the value of the
"onclick" attribute.

Let me guess, you're using Struts 1.1RC1?  This was fixed after RC1 was

RE: Setting up JSTL---How?

[Karr, David]

One step you need to take care of, if you haven't yet, is reading the
JSTL specification.  If you had, you would have noticed that
"$param.userName" should be "${param.userName}".  I'm not certain
whether this the cause of your exception, however.

RE: Imbeding a struts tag in another ?

[Karr, David]

The Struts-EL library is in the "contrib" directory of the distribution.
It first appeared in the 1.1beta3 release, although until the next RC or
final 1.1 release comes out, I recommend using the nightly build, to
avoid a couple of bugs that have been fixed since that release.  The
Struts-EL library evaluates attributes values using the expression
language engine used in the Jakarta Taglibs implementation of the JSTL.

RE:

[Karr, David]

You were close to one solution, if you used "".  You just didn't
fully read the usage information for this tag.  If you supply a "var"
attribute, you can specify the name of the page-scoped attribute to set
with the resulting URL string.  You can then reference this in the
"href" attribute of the "html-el:link" tag.

Are you bringing down the server?  Can you look at the servlet code

RE: Why have ?

It's not much, but I believe the "roles" attribute isn't strictly
available with the JSTL.  For most uses, the EL works fine.

RE: not showing anything!

[Karr, David]

And in your deployed WAR file, a file named "application.properties" is
in the directory "WEB-INF/classes/resources"?

In times like this, if I can't figure out why something isn't finding a
file I think it should find, I like to set up a "file I/O monitor", that
basically tracks all system calls, and allows filtering or searching for
various strings in the output.  In Windows, I tend to use a tool called
"FileMon", you can get from http://www.sysinternals.com.  Unices have
similar tools.

In your case, I think the message isn't quite accurate.  The message should say 
something like "... needs to contain EXACTLY one of ...".  You aren't using any of 
"name", "value", or body content.  This has nothing to do with your JDK upgrade.
