RE: Some ActionClasses Are Invoked Twice, Why?
This has happened to me--still haven't found a good solution. If the browser is IE, under some circumstances it will post/get a request twice for (in my case) PDF files. This is apparently not a Struts issue. I would test your code under a different browser, and then a different container than Resin, to rule those out as problems. The Sun forum on Servlets may also be of help. http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jsp?forum=33 Glen -Original Message- From: Andrew Hill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 11:44 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Some ActionClasses Are Invoked Twice, Why?

Wheeler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 09:04 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Some ActionClasses Are Invoked Twice, Why? I have found a bug in a Struts application I am developing at work, and I am having trouble figuring out what might be causing it. I will give the brief overview below, and be happy to dive into as much detail as might be needed. The problem: I have started adding logging to several of my action classes and have started noticing that some of them are being called twice in quick succession. I know for a fact that it's not a user double-clicking to submit a form; I can reproduce it (only some of the ActionClasses have this problem, but they have it consistently. To help illustrate the problem, I have an excerpt of the log below, showing that the ActionClass was called twice: // the first time the action class was called 16:41:11,897 - Checking required permissions 16:41:11,898 - Starting performTask() method 16:41:11,898 - performTask(): Got session attributes; 16:41:11,900 - performTask(): Removing old contexts 16:41:11,900 - performTask(): Calling getAvailableContexts() 16:41:12,728 - performTask(): Got 2 contexts 16:41:12,740 - performTask(): Adding LVBean[Example 1, 0001] 16:41:12,741 - performTask(): Adding LVBean[Example 2, 0026] 16:41:12,741 - performTask(): Setting roles vector 16:41:12,742 - Ending performTask() method // the second time the action class was called, 1 second later 16:41:13,039 - Checking required permissions 16:41:13,040 - Starting performTask() method 16:41:13,040 - performTask(): Got session attributes; 16:41:13,043 - performTask(): Removing old contexts 16:41:13,044 - performTask(): Calling getAvailableContexts() 16:41:13,853 - performTask(): Got 2 contexts 16:41:13,854 - performTask(): Adding LVBean[Example 1, 0001] 16:41:13,854 - performTask(): Adding LVBean[Example 2, 0026] 16:41:13,855 - performTask(): Setting roles vector 16:41:13,855 - Ending performTask() method Again, I will be happy to post code samples upon request, but I don't want to clutter the issue quite yet.

The Server- RedHat Linux 7.2, fully patched, running with Caucho Resin-2.1.2 and Sun JDK 1.3.1_04 (latest 1.3.1 JVM).

RE: [LEGAL] RE: sites powered by struts
I thought so. In other words, nothing needed because you're not redistributing the libraries--the Apache software license explicitly covers both redistribution and use, but only explicitly requires attribution for *redistribution*. But to use the SW, e.g., Struts on the server, nothing needs to be attributed (although it would be good to do so). But Craig in last week's response wrote that you did have to, so I was unsure. I suspected 100's-1000's of sites are using Struts without attribution, because the license doesn't require it (and that managers of those sites might balk at allowing the use of Struts if the developers were required to make note of Apache on the site).

[LEGAL] RE: sites powered by struts
I noticed that neither site--the one below nor the one earlier on the Special Olympics, have the Apache copyright message on them, I thought necessary for licensing. OTOH, I'm unclear on this point, because no Struts software is actually being redistributed--the Struts libraries are just sitting on the web server, so maybe no Apache notice on the web pages are necessary. Which is the case? To me, one of the issues to take into account when deciding whether or not to use Struts is the need to place an Apache notice on the web page--your business customers may not find that acceptable.

[OT] RE: Struts and Large ResultSet
Google would seem to be a very good example of how to handle extremely large result sets. A search on America, for example, returned 36.2 million rows kept server-side, which the browser can quickly requery to get the results, 10 or so rows at a time. Can anyone surmise Google's probable approach to this? Do they actually retain DB cursors on the server side to query an additional 10 rows at a time--but given their very fast response time, I suspect they may be using some other form of non-database cursor--I'm unsure if search engines even use databases to return their result sets. Thanks, Glen - Changing data will happen. I see this kinda thing happen on google. You to a page and then when the results update the page 5 is different than it was just a minute ago on the same query. It's kinda the way things are I think. The only way to avoid this is to keep the ResultSet open and updated from the database. This is not a very good solution for high traffic sites. Brandon -Original Message- From: John Owen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 9:50 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Struts and Large ResultSet I suggested using the ArrayList for providing a read-only view of the current state of the database. If something changes, your view would remain constant until you performed another query. If I were to provide functionality for an item in the ArrayList, such as update, I would make sure the system retrieved the latest copy of the item in question. I would not suggest keeping a ResultSet of that size in the user session. ;) I also would suggest determining if you really need to query 100,000 records at once. If so, your J2EE container, application server or client machine has to be able to handle that much information. If you devise cursors using a row limit (like rowcount, or is it rowid/rownum?) or some clever query mechanism, you can pull back data in small, but meaningful groups. Query-specific applications are database-dependent. I could devise something for Oracle 8.17 using cursors and using the limit functionality, but it would not apply to mysql and other databases. - Original Message - From: Gus Delgado [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Struts Users Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 10:17 AM Subject: Re: Struts and Large ResultSet The only problem with returning so much data is that your ArrayList and the database can get out of sink if some else updates one of those records.

RE: Result paging for site search results
Thanks, Joe, for alerting the list to this display taglib--I just looked at the link you provided--it looks very professional/displays very well. Glen -Original Message- From: Joe Barefoot [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 2:03 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Result paging for site search results Simon, I'm not sure if you are handling very large ResultSets and need database-aware paging (i.e., user clicks next, and the next 25 results are fetched from DB, vs. having them all in a Collection that you are paging through in-memory). If you aren't handling very large volumes, I suggest you check out the very savvy display taglib (link below). If you may be handling large volumes in the future (but not right now), it can easily be replaced later with a custom paging implementation. It works well in conjunction with Struts; basically, you just stuff your Collection into the request, and the tag uses Struts-like syntax plus the commons utilities to access properties of the objects in your collection. Sorting and paging are supported (and style classes), and you can add dynamic output to table rows using a TableDecorator class that uses the Decorator pattern to 'massage' data from your Collection objects.

data Structure to use for a list of data
Hello, Very common master-detail pattern: User enters a query and gets a multi-column master list of items matching that query. Then the user selects an item in the list to get to a detail form on that item. The query/JDBC and detail form I can handle, but what Java data structure (created in the action object) should I use to hold the master list items: assume about 4-5 column items, one of them supplying data for the hyperlink: link id=1 Last Name, First Name Address Email etc. link id=2 Last Name, First Name Address Email etc. link id=3 Last Name, First Name Address Email etc. Struts-related issues: (1) I expect to use the Iterator tag for multi-page returns, I'm unsure if that would affect the data structure chosen. (2) I'm also interested in ease of display on the subsequent master list page, so I would like a data structure that can be easily manipulated by the Struts tag libraries in rendering the page.

merge Struts and stxx?
Hello, I was wondering if perhaps a future release of Struts might be enhanced if it integrated the XML/XSLT/PDF possibilities of stxx. An email on the struts-xsl Yahoo group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/struts-xsl/message/240) about Oracle's Cleveland web framework, criticized Struts for not having native support for XSLT, XSL FO/PDF technologies, etc., that are already in the stxx extension. (You can still use XSL/XSLT/XSL FO within Struts however, currently by manually returning the application/pdf object from the ActionForms.) One drawback I see is that stxx includes the FOP processor (which further includes the Avalon logger), etc., and Struts might get overly large if it were to include stxx. So perhaps the status quo of using Struts and importing stxx only when needed remains preferable. Comments?
