Declarative Security and Struts

[Michael Blair]

Can this be done?

I have been able to get a MemoryRealm in Tomcat to work using BASIC
authentication. If I try to do this with FORM based authentication it seems
to think the ACTION="j_security_check" in my login.jsp seems to make struts
think this is an action that should be in the struts-config.

I admit, I know very little about security. Any links for MemoryRealm and
JDBCRealm using struts would be great! The goal is Memory first, then get it
to work with JDBC.

Thanks,
Mike

LookupDispatchAction

[Michael Blair]

Has anyone ever gotten a LookupDispatchAction to work with more than one
locale? I am simply trying to do a small in english and spanish, all is well
until I hit a lookupdispatchaction. It then uses the translated text as the
method name instead of the map lookup name.

LookupDispatchAction and I18N

[Michael Blair]

Greetins all,

As a newbie in struts, I am sure this is something simple. I have some
LookupDispatchActions setup and working fine. Now, I want to
internationalize this app. I created a second resource file ending in es_MX.
Ok, now what happens is when it does the lookup to find the method in my
action class it uses the translated text as the method name so obviously it
doesn't find it. Is there something simple I am missing?

Some basics.
application.properties
button.edit=Edit
application_es_MX.properties
button.edit=NYT

LookupDispatchAction
map.put("button.edit", "Edit");

and I have a method called Edit.

When I run the other language version, it tries to call a method of NYT
instead of Edit.

Any clues?

multiple struts-config.xml - multiple modules?

[Michael Blair]

I have a question regarding overall architecture. I am going to have a huge
web app; well it will be a suite of web based tools. Lets say I will have
one main menu, and from there possibly 5 separate modules (separate content
areas). First, how hard is it to have a struts-config for each module (I
have an example below). Second, can each "module" be in its own war and
still be able to go back and forth among the other modules?

web.xml

config
/WEB-INF/config/struts-config.xml


config/module1
/WEB-INF/config/struts-module1-config.xml


now the actions work fine in the default config, but how do I call an action
FROM the default to module 1? Here is what I have tried in my .jsp. Note,
this .jsp is part of the default and im trying to call something in module1.

Indexed Properties examples?

[Michael Blair]

I am still trying to get this to work. I simply want to display records in
table format in a browser and be able to change the data, do a submit and
have access to the changes back in the action. Currently I am getting :
"HTTP ERROR: 500 No getter method for property AwardIndexed[0].safAwardCode
of bean awards"

If I can offer anymore info, please ask. Also, if anyone has a working
example of this I would love to see the snippets of the jsp, formbean and
any other relevant parts.

Mike

Here are some snippets.
.jsp -

   
   

form bean -
  private ArrayList awards;
 public void setAwardIndexed(int index, AwardMasView ob){
  System.out.println("setAward");
  this.awards.set(index, ob);
 }

 public AwardMasView getAwardIndexed(int index){
  System.out.println("getAward");
  return (AwardMasView)this.awards.get(index);
 }

Processing a 'POST' from the JSP Page for an ArrayList?

[Michael Blair]

I'm new to struts and so far love it, but this piece is killing me. I have a
jsp, form bean, view, action. I am ok with loading an arraylist and
embedding it into the jsp page using the iterate. Now, I want to make
changes to the table in the browser which is represented as an iterator, and
then I would like to get access to these changes back in my action class.
Currently, the action class sees the original view and not the updated view.
Here are some code snippets.

JSP -

.
.

.
.
 
   
 
 
   
 
Action Class -
  List awards = ((AwardMasResultsForm)form).getAwards();
  AwardMasView awardView = (AwardMasView)awards.get(1);
  Iterator i = awards.iterator(); // this allows you to loop thru the
Arraylist
  while (i.hasNext()) {
   AwardMasView awardmas = (AwardMasView)i.next(); // get a copy of an
AwardMas bean from the list
System.out.println(awardmas.getSafAwardCode());  //would like to see
changed value here
System.out.println("JLB -delete " + awardmas.getDeleteRecord()); //
would like to see changed value here
  }

Let me know if I can offer anything else to help with this. :)
