Re: Problem with the forward attribute in action
I didn't even know it was possible to do it the first way you show (I've always done it using #2). That would sure simplify things if #1 is possible - I want to know the answer too!

RE: generating tables in Struts
The export/tiles issue has been fixed - you just needd to specify a filter in your web.xml. http://displaytag.sourceforge.net/install.html If you need to export data from an included JSP page, such as from Struts, you should configure the ResponseOverrideFilter in your web.xml. (You do not need the filter if you do not use exports, or if you do not use the table tag from a jsp page that is included inside of another page.) Configure the Filter in your web.xml: filter filter-nameResponseOverrideFilter/filter-name filter-classorg.displaytag.filter.ResponseOverrideFilter/filter-class /filter And add mappings for the pages that you will intercept, for example: filter-mapping filter-nameResponseOverrideFilter/filter-name url-pattern*.do/url-pattern /filter-mapping filter-mapping filter-nameResponseOverrideFilter/filter-name url-pattern*.jsp/url-pattern /filter-mapping It's been broken in CVS for the past couple of weeks, but I just fixed it today. You'll have to download and built it to get the latest fixes. For #2, you could use JavaScript to grab the table and add links to the column titles that submit your form. I've done this and it works fairly well - although in the end I decided the table didn't need any sorting.

RE: Problem - Trying to hide javascript files in WEB-INF
You could include it (jsp:include), but then you'd lose the browser's ability to cache the script and you'd end up with a bunch of JavaScript in your page. The best practice is to put your scripts in a place where browsers can get at them. If, for some reason, you don't want folks looking at your script - there's probably something you need to remove.

I did this on a previous project and did find that the forward attribute worked, but not the action attribute. I believe this is a bug in Struts since it should do rewriting when looking up an Action's path. The one issue with re-writing is that if you're using a menu that matches URLs (i.e. tabbed-menu) - they probably won't get matched up. At a previous project, we were using URLs to highlight the current page we were on and we found that we had to use the action attribute or the page attribute so that the jsessionid wasn't appended. Of course, we could've stripped this off in our Velocity template, but we wen't with the quick, less-logic, way. To see this project, go to http://telluride.resortquest.com and drill down a bit. The menu with highlight is on the right. BTW, this site uses the Velocity displayer for both the top menu and the side menu. If you're not familiar with struts-menu, checkout the demo at http://raibledesigns.com/struts-menu.

Re: Struts-Menu (Support URL Re-writing)
In 2.0, you can use a forward or action attribute - and struts-menu will look this up in struts-config.xml. That's all I'm trying to say - both of these should have URL re-writing built in.

is taking me to a blank page.
Can anyone let me know why this is happening? It is not going to the

Many other companies are promising support for JavaServer Faces in the near term as well. Speaking of wizards, can JSF enforce flow in a wizard manner without additional modifications like Struts? Depends on what you mean by enforce -- Struts doesn't really do anything to enforce flows. However, both Struts and JavaServer Faces share the concept of decoupling the actual name of the page to be displayed next from the business logic that returns an outcome which the navigation decision is based on. In Struts you do this by using forward declarations at the global or per-Action level. In JavaServer Faces, you do this by defining navigation rules based on the page you're currently on, the action method that was called (i.e. which submit button was pushed), and what the logical outcome value was returned by the action method.

I'd love to serve up a specific tile based on a role, but it doesn't seem like it's currently possible in the Tiles Framework. Basically, I want to do the following: !-- User Profile definition -- definition name=.userProfile extends=.mainMenu put name=title.key value=userProfile.title/ put name=heading.key value=userProfile.heading/ put name=content value=/WEB-INF/pages/userProfile.jsp role=admin/ put name=content value=/WEB-INF/pages/userDetail.jsp role=tomcat/ /definition In this example, users with role admin get the userProfile.jsp, while users with a tomcat role get the userDetail.jsp. Unfortunately, role is not an allowed attribute on put. It seems it's only possible to do this on a definition level - but then they cannot be the same name, and it seems rather clunky. For the definition stuff, it'd be nice to do: definition name=.userProfile extends=.mainMenu put name=title.key value=userProfile.title/ put name=heading.key value=userProfile.heading/ put name=content value=.meatOfPage/ /definition definition name=.meatOfPage path=/WEB-INF/pages/userProfile.jsp role=admin/ definition name=.meatOfPage path=/WEB-INF/pages/userDetail.jsp role=tomcat/ Any tips are appreciated.

[ANNOUNCE] Struts Menu 2.0 Released!
This release is a significant refactoring of the 1.x codebase. The
source
and site is now built using Maven. Menus can now be defined using
Velocity
templates and support has been added for looking up dynamic values.
This
means that if you have ${variableName} in your menu-config.xml (in a
link),
the tag library will look in all scopes for a variable with the name
variableName. The example app has been updated to improve
documentation.
IMO, the Velocity templates is huge because it means if it's possible
with
HTML - it's possible with Struts Menu.
Changes (http://struts-menu.sourceforge.net/changes-report.html):
- Renamed package structure to net.sf.navigator.
- Added support for using Struts' actions and forwards for links in
menu-config.xml.
- Added support for using dynamic variables in menu-config.xml.
- Updated build process to use Maven for building/deploying.
- Refactored to use Velocity and allow dynamic variable substitution.
Read the nitty-gritty details about the Velocity enhancements at
http://raibledesigns.com/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=StrutsMenu.

Hello again. I'm fighting with validwhen againi've got the lastest
nightly build(jakarta-struts-20031027.zip) and it looks like when you use
validwhen validation no javascript code is generated and inserted in the jsp
file. If i use this validation definition:
field
property=tituloRevista
depends=required
arg0 key=icytReviForm.tituloRevista.displayname/
/field
field
property=tipoAdquisicion
depends=required
arg0 key=icytReviForm.tipoAdquisicion.displayname/
/field
The javascript code inserted in my jsp page is:
function validateIcytReviForm(form) {
if (bCancel)
return true;
else
var formValidationResult;
formValidationResult = validateRequired(form);
return (formValidationResult == 1);
}
function required () {
this.aa = new Array(tituloRevista, El título es un campo
obligatorio, new Function (varName, return this[varName];));
this.ab = new Array(tipoAdquisicion, El tipo de adquisición es un
campo obligatorio, new Function (varName, return this[varName];));
}
But if I add a new field validation in my validation.xml :
field
property=tituloRevista
depends=required
arg0 key=icytReviForm.tituloRevista.displayname/
/field
field
property=tipoAdquisicion
depends=required

arg0 key=icytReviForm.tituloAbreviado.displayname/
var
var-nametest/var-name
var-value(tituloRevista != null)/var-value
/var
/field
The javascript code generated is the same!
function validateIcytReviForm(form) {
if (bCancel)
return true;
else
var formValidationResult;
formValidationResult = validateRequired(form);
return (formValidationResult == 1);

Subject: Re: Container-Managed Authentication login-config in web.xml
vs . Specifying Paths in the struts-config.xml
People answer questions without reading my original
post. Therefore, I must re-type my original question
again.
Before I posted my question, I had configured the
Tomcat JDBCRealm following the instructions at
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/realm-howto.html
so that I can do security testing programmically, such
as isUserInRole(), in my program.
If I use form based authentication, I insert the
login-config and its sub-elements in my web.xml file
(see below). As we know, the form-login-page and
form-error-page are required.
My question is that the container-managed
authentication (we provide login page and error page
in the web.xml) does not seem to be consistent with
what we usually do in struts; e.g. we state the
logical name and path for each .jsp page in the
struts-config.xml file.
What is the Struts convention in dealing with user
authentication? Should we specify the paths for the
logon page and error page in the struts.config.xml or
we should use the form-login-page and
form-error-page in the web.xml file?
Thanks.

The choice between BASIC and form-based

RE: Container-Managed Authentication login-config in web.xml vs . Specifying Paths in the struts-config.xml
A JDBCRealm can use BASIC authentication - it doesn't require form-based.

I configured the Tomcat JDBCRealm so that I can use programmic security testing, such as isUserInRole(), in my program. Because Tomcat JDBCRealm is form based, I inserted the login-config and its sub-elements in my web.xml file (see below). As we know, the form-login-page and form-error-page are required. My question is that the container-managed authentication does not seem to be consistent with what we usually do in struts; e.g. we state the logical name and path for each .jsp page in the struts-config.xml file. What is the Struts convention in dealing with user authentication?

RE: EJB's vs. Hibernate vs. Torque vs. custom DTO's
I might as well chime in here. I've used Hibernate and iBatis on my last two projects. Using them made it super simple to implement the data tier. In fact, in both projects, it took under a week to do all the CRUD stuff needed for our applications. I also developed a 23 table / 21 page JSP application in 70 hours using my AppFuse project (which uses Hibernate, XDoclet and Struts). I think they're both great, but I prefer Hibernate b/c of it's integration with XDoclet. But that's just me, and I'm probably biased because I took the time to learn Hibernate and how it works with XDoclet and Struts. iBatis was much easier to learn in my experience.

But, if you are used to writing your own DTOs, and all other things remaining equal, you should take a good look at iBATIS Database Layer. http://www.ibatis.com/ It is not an Object Relational Mapping framework, but does a truly excellent job of separating data persistence from the rest of your application. Clinton posted a very fine comparison of SQL Mapping and ORM here: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=914883forum_id=206693 A real plus for a Struts developer is that there is a realistic, best-practices, soup-to-nuts example Struts/iBATIS application available: http://www.ibatis.com/jpetstore/jpetstore.html Regardless of whatever choice you make, I would strongly recommend taking a close look at the DAO framework that ships with iBATIS. It is not dependant on the iBATIS SqlMaps and can be used with Hibernate, OJB, or whatever else. Or nothing else. I also use the iBATIS DAO framework to switch to a mock database for testing.

following:

button.cancel=cancel
button.copy=copy
button.edit=edit
button.delete=delete
button.save=save
button.search=search

public Map getKeyMethodMap() {
Map map = new HashMap();
ResourceBundle methods =

Enumeration keys = methods.getKeys();
while (keys.hasMoreElements()) {
String key = (String) keys.nextElement();

}
return map;

Setting the page title from a tile
I have an interesting problem that I can't figure out how to solve. We are using Tiles, as well as a custom tag library that renders content from Velocity Templates. These templates have HTML content in them, but they're mostly text - and this is our CMS (for now). The problem is is that we've developed our app in a way only our menu needs to know about the templates. So /appName/static/template will show the template page (wrapped in Tiles). The problem is, by the time I load the Tile, with the template, the page's title has already been set. Sure I could use JavaScript and set document.title in the Velocity template, but that does no good for search engine optimization. Another solution I thought of is to put the title into the URL in my menus, i.e. /appName/static/homeownerServices?title=Homeowner%20Services - but that's just plain ol' ugly to send as a URL (via e-mail and such). Two other solutions I can think of: 1. Create a action-mapping and tile for each template (i.e. /appName/homeownerServices), and define the title in there. 2. Parse the template name and convert it to readable titles. This would require that I name all my templates so they have an appropriate title, but it just might work. In this example, /homeownerServices gets translated to Homeowner Services as a title. I guess I'll go with #2 (see how simply posting these messages actually helps to solve things!), but I wanted to see if anyone else had any good suggestions/practices.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/25/03 08:51AM I have an interesting problem that I can't figure out how to solve. We are using Tiles, as well as a custom tag library that renders content from Velocity Templates. These templates have HTML content in them, but they're mostly text - and this is our CMS (for now). The problem is is that we've developed our app in a way only our menu needs to know about the templates. So /appName/static/template will show the template page (wrapped in Tiles). The problem is, by the time I load the Tile, with the template, the page's title has already been set. Sure I could use JavaScript and set document.title in the Velocity template, but that does no good for search engine optimization. Another solution I thought of is to put the title into the URL in my menus, i.e. /appName/static/homeownerServices?title=Homeowner%20Services - but that's just plain ol' ugly to send as a URL (via e-mail and such). Two other solutions I can think of: 1. Create a action-mapping and tile for each template (i.e. /appName/homeownerServices), and define the title in there. 2. Parse the template name and convert it to readable titles. This would require that I name all my templates so they have an appropriate title, but it just might work. In this example, /homeownerServices gets translated to Homeowner Services as a title. I guess I'll go with #2 (see how simply posting these messages actually helps to solve things!), but I wanted to see if anyone else had any good suggestions/practices.

RE: Is it possible to remove *.do or /do/* from the URL [solved]
Back to the original question... I found a solution and want to validate it:
1. I created a RequestFilter that maps to /*
2. This filter checks to see if request.getServletPath() matches any of the
action paths in struts-config.xml. If so, it forwards to the action.
3. As an added feature, I added a set of allowed extensions to this
filter's init parameters. So far I have .jsp,.html,.asp,.cfm (using .jsp
ensures no one links to them directly, MVC enforced!) - so marketing can
choose what technology they want to convey ;-)
This seems to work great. For example, I have an advancedSearch action
defined as follows:
action path=/advancedSearch
type=org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction
parameter=.advancedSearch/
(ForwardAction will eventually be replaces, if necessary, with a real
action). This allows all of the following URLs to work:
http://site.com/do/advancedSearch (works with Struts by default)
http://site.com/advancedSearch
http://site.com/advancedSearch.html + all other extensions listed.
Pretty slick IMO. Please let me know if I'm missing anything.
Thanks,
Matt
Here's the code from RequestFilter.doFilter():
// get Struts' configuration
ModuleConfig m = getModuleConfig(request);
// get a list of actions
ActionConfig[] actions = m.findActionConfigs();
// get the requested path
String path = request.getServletPath();
for (int i = 0; i actions.length; i++) {
ActionConfig action = actions[i];
String actionPath = action.getPath();
String params = RequestUtil.getRequestParameters(request);
// check to see if path ends with a vanity extension
for (int j = 0; j allowedExtensions.length; j++) {
if (path.endsWith(allowedExtensions[j])) {
path =
path.substring(0, path.indexOf(allowedExtensions[j]));
break;
}
}
if (StringUtils.equalsIgnoreCase(actionPath, path)) {
StringBuffer url = new StringBuffer();
boolean redirect = false; // change to true if using redirect
if (redirect) {
url.append(request.getContextPath());
}
url.append(/do + actionPath);
url.append((!StringUtils.isEmpty(params)) ? (? + params) : );
if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
log.debug(forwarding from path ' + path +
' to action ' + actionPath + ');
}
// This this until we have issues (this way the URL doesn't change)
RequestDispatcher dispatcher =
request.getRequestDispatcher(url.toString());
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
// If a forward doesn't work - use the one below
// Redirect the page to the desired URL
//
response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL(url.toString()));
// ensure we don't chain to requested resource
return;
}
}

ModuleConfig mConfig =

If there are only a small number of 'marketing' style URLs that are
going to be used, you could do those mappings specifically in the
web.xml and leave everything else to your /do/* mapping
Eg Marketing URLs 'activities', 'contact', 'foo'
/activities/*
/contact/*
/foo/*
everything else
/do/*
Or you could wrap a filter around the /activities/*, /contact/*, /foo/*
mappings and forward to the correct action.

And then in our activities action, we can do a check

L.S.
I'm new at Struts, but I got it working.
I've an simple Bean with a java.util.Date property and the set and get
methods
with to set/get the java.util.Date values. I've an (almost) working
ActionForm with the same properties.
In a Action I use somthing like:
org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.copyProperties(form, bean) to
copy
all the properties from the bean to the form and forward to a JSP page to
edit the properties in an HTML-form. So far, all is well; the date is
displayed like '2003-09-10' in an text-field.
If I submit this page, a 'IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch'
is
thrown. If I remove all the java.util.Date code, all is working as expected.
Clearly I'm doing something wrong with the java.util.Date.
What is the best way to get a date from a HTML-form to a Bean?

RE: Converting a ResultSet to a List of POJOs
Thanks to all for your suggestions. I did some number comparisons b/w the standard way (rs.next() ... set, set, set), ibatis, and ResultSetUtils.getCollection() from scaffold. Here's what I found: 1. Standard way - 0.24 seconds 2. ibatis - 5+ seconds (ugh! - maybe I'm doing something wrong, more info here: http://tinyurl.com/mod4) 3.

Globals forwards with LookupDispatchAction
I'm using lookup LookupDispatchAction and to ease development, I've
defined each of my CRUD methods as a global-forward. For example:
forward name=editProfile path=/editUser.do?action=Edit/
However, the problem is that this doesn't work with i18n. What I'd like
to do is to have it dynamically substituted in the struts-config.xml
file. So my forward would look like this:
forward name=editProfile
path=/editUser.do?action=${msg:button.edit}/
Is this possible - or am I best off using html:link with parameters as
part of the link?

[validator] currency values and datatypes
I'm developing an application that has a bunch of dollar amount fields. I want to validate my design, as well as ask a couple of questions. It's not an internationalized application, so I'm using Double for my data types in my POJOs - which translates to a double in MySQL (when using Hibernate). First question - Should I be using Floats or Doubles? I'm formatting these for the UI using a DecimalFormat(#.00). Second question - what about percentages? Lastly, if I remain using either of these numbers (vs. Strings) - what is the best validator to use for these? I noticed that double doesn't have a client-side JS method, whereas float does.

Strange Validator Issue
I'm using Struts 1.1 RC1 and I can't seem to figure this one out... Basically, when I click on a cancel button, the client-side validation is stopped, but not the server-side. Here's my cancel button: html:cancel styleClass=button property=action bean:message key=button.cancel/ /html:cancel -- onclick=bCancel=true; is added automagically by Struts when rendering. My form's action is saveUser which does specify validation=true action path=/saveUser type=org.appfuse.webapp.action.UserAction name=userForm scope=session input=editProfile parameter=action unknown=false validate=true Since UserAction.java is a subclass of LookupDispatchAction, I should be able to map button.cancel to a cancel method, which I have done, but I never get to it.

Ed, I received lots of interested parties from my mailing to the struts-user list. You can view the responses by following the thread at: http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user%40jakarta.apache.org/msg55520.ht ml Please let me know what we should do next to start a project at SourceForge.

RE: The display:* tag library
Ed, Thanks for getting back to me. I actually sent the same message you see below (mine not yours) to the struts-user list last night. I'll let you know what they say and if I can find a pumpkin keeper. In the meantime, if you want to get the ball rolling for setting up a project at SF, that'd be awesome.

Re: Any Struts-based calendar examples out there?
One open source project (Roller) I work on has a JSP Tag Library calendar - you might be able to tweak it. Project Page: http://rollerweblogger.org/ And there's also a big calendar as part of it - example at: http://www.rollerweblogger.org/page/roller/Archives For my favorite javascript-based popup-calendar, check out: http://www.mattkruse.com/javascript/calendarpopup/ #2 is my fav.

I have to create a calendar page to display meetings, etc. As you know, anything date-related is not the easiest task in the world. I have found a JSP-based calendar, but it would require some extensive rework to get rid of all the scriplet code. Short deadline + overworked programmer = trying to steal code instead of reinventing the wheel ;) Anyone seen anything in any struts example code out there?
