RE: Rendering alternate rows of a table in Struts

[Michael Lee]

There are a couple of you can't do it posts. We did it with a jsp tag. One 
of my co-workers found one on the web. Look around. There is a freeware/open 
source one out there he found. He may have modified it some. It is very 
possible. We did it. Sorry I can't be more help but I don't know the URL.

You can do it quite easily with JSTL...

Hi All,
I am using logic iterate tag to iterate over a collection
and display the contents of the collection in the
form of a table.
I want to render the alternate rows with different background colours.
I don't want to use scriptlet for finding the row number and set the
colour.
Is there any Struts tag where I can specify such functionality.

Regards,
Ritesh.

Re: xslt in jsp

[Michael Lee]

Here's what we do and it's a VERY easy process.
http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/xsl-doc/xsl-1.0/index.html#apply
This is deprecated so I'm going to change it to JSTL. Very similar. But its 
part of J2EE spec so it's going to be around a while.
http://www.manning.com/bayern/appendixA.pdf

Another good option is the supported jakarta taglib XTags.
http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/xtags-doc/index.html#style
We still haven't moved away from the deprecated tags for the simple reason 
that it works. Also, the JSTL is horrifically documented.

I saw someone earlier mention letting the browser perform the translation 
for you. I don't know if I recommend this because you never know what your 
getting. You can get inconsistent results per browser. You do it on your 
side and you get the same results. How the browser now displays that html is 
a different discussion! Another reason to let the server do it is you may 
want to just change the xsl and allow a different format (pdf, csv, 
whatever).

Hi,

what I'm doing is this: I've got a custom tag in my JSP page, that uses a 
transformer to process the xml input. So my page looks like this:
...

		title="index.title"
		heading="index.heading">





Hope this helps,

request to struts action not being routed to J2EE container security

[Michael Lee]

I have an action that, upon successful completion, calls another struts action.
IE: /a.do
success mapping to
/consumer/b.do

In the web.xml I lock the /consumer/ directory off to authorised users using J2EE form 
based container security (Weblogic RDBMS).

Problem is a.do is calling b.do and no redirect to the login page defined by the form 
based security in the web.xml takes place!

I was thinking about calling weblogic specific 
weblogic.servlet.security.ServletAuthentication class to explicitly load the user into 
the container security upon successful completion of a.do but I would prefer a 
non-container specific implementation.

Thanks,
Mike

Re: request to struts action not being routed to J2EE container security

[Michael Lee]

That worked like a champ. I did not know that forwards were not redirected
through the user.
Here is the code;

if(user == null) // no user was found in the session or
authenticated request.getUserPrincipal()
{
response.sendRedirect("/webapp/consumer/b.do");
}

Thank you very much Eddie Bush!

bean:define for value in properties file

[Michael Lee]

I have a value in my ApplicationResources.properties called
page.title=Customer Information
I want to have this value available in the page context. I would like to use a struts 
tag to do so. If not, I have to use a scriptlet (which I try to avoid).
here is what I'd like to do

any ideas?

Re: Security roles with Struts

[Michael Lee]

for container managed roles struts actions act just like all http request
that the container can intercept.
in the web.xml
  
Secure Something

  Admin Resources
  /admin/*


  Admin


  Secure all data
  NONE

  

What this does is lock down all requests to the /admin/ directory to users
of Admin role.
You can do the same with actions by putting in the url pattern using
wildcards or the action itself.
for example;
  /admin/addUser.do

Request losing data after container security check

[Michael Lee]

I have a screen a.jsp that calls a.do which then forwards to b.jsp
I have a form called AForm.java. I have a field called email in AForm.java.
In a.jsp a user can set email, call a.do and then forward to b.jsp which does a 
. This works just fine and outputs the 
email.
Problem is, if the session times out (15 mins) then the user is required to log back 
in. If the data is entered on a.jsp and the session times out and the user clicks 
submit, then when it gets to b.jsp it doesn't have any data? In the struts config a.do 
is of scope="request". I would think that a request would keep that data unlike 
scope="session".
I want to keep the data upon submit, even if the container wants to validate the user.
thanks,
Mike

Re: Request losing data after container security check

[Michael Lee]

?This doesnt sound right.
Its just an http request. It shouldn't lose anything except session data.
The container should route the http request and all the request items from
the form.

Re: Request losing data after container security check

[Michael Lee]

i know.
a.jsp calls a.do which forwards to b.jsp
user enters data in a.jsp
user leaves
session times out
user clicks submit on a.jsp
a.do action is of scope request
when we get to b.jsp, it should display the data entered on a.jsp (verify
screen)
it does not if the session times out and the user has to log in again

Re: Request losing data after container security check

[Michael Lee]

Its an http request. It should't matter if the session times out or not.
a.jsp is posting data to a.do through an http request. If we have container
managed security it should just forward the data.

"When the container times out the session it doesn't touch the browser. When
the user clicks on a field to create an action the request is still
available to the container. "
Ya, that's why I'm so perplexed? The user typed in the info, leaves to make
a sandwich, comes back and clicks submit. Regardless of session timeout, if
this is an http request it should alway work the same except maybe with a
login before it shows the results.
thanks,
Mike

Re: Request losing data after container security check

[Michael Lee]

Hey david, thanks again! I appreciate all your input on this.

I have a filter we use for other purposes but we use container managed
security. We have a lot tied into this.
Also, these requests use struts forms. We use post requests throughout the
system so url encoding is out of the question, at least until the next
version.
I noticed this behavior in all my struts actions. This seems like a bug to
me. Don't know if its with j_security_check wiping out the http request form
data or struts not sending it properly.
thanks again,
Mike

I think that it is rather straightforward and clean. Is it working for you?
Is
it fast enough? Does it suit your needs? If yes, there is no problem.  Btw
this is how I do as well.

struts 1.0.2 hanging?

[Michael Lee]

If you declare duplicate actions in your struts-config.xml would this cause struts to 
hang? We did this by accident and have been trying to track down this hang.

Also, is there a way to have some additional actions defined in another 
struts-config.xml file? So basically have 2 struts configs (not with duplicate actions 
in either)
thanks,
Mike

Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2003 11:48:31 +0100



	I seek to create a page JSP with the tags Struts/Tiles and others.
The page which was 	specified is a little complex for somebody like me
which has little experiment with HTML
	 this is why I am searching concrete examples in order to facilitate
this development.
	The page 	that I must carry 	out contains a table with
five columns, four string 	columns and one column with check box type.I
attached in file joined an image of this list.
	A button add in the page allows the user to add new element to the
list.
	So the number of record  varies and a scroll bar must appear if the
number of records
	is superior to four elements. Is it easy to display scrollbar with
HTML?
	Is it another solution if one wishes all to display on a page ?
	The view must be customizable and the user can sort the elements of
the table
	by clicking on the header of the column, is it possible ?
	I hope that somebody already made a similar 	interface and will
be able to 	send code.
	Thanks a lot in advance.

This exception is caused by a bug in WebLogic's JVM -- it does not obey

Override action in multiple struts-config.xml

[Michael Lee]

We have a base product. It has a struts-config.xml in a webapp. We have a couple of 
customers that each have their own web app and struts-config.xml. Their product sits 
on top of the base product. We have to have a complete struts-config.xml for each 
customer. Is there a way to have a core struts-config.xml in the base product and a 
struts-config.xml for each customer where the struts-config.xml for each customer uses 
whats in the base product and adds new actions or over-rides the actions in the base 
struts-config.xml?
thanks,

Re: AAAARGH! SOMEONE! How do I set the default selection when I'm using html:options?

[Michael Lee]

I figured out what the problem was.
Struts auto sets the default value in an html:select to whatever the
property is in the form bean. Someone said this earlier (thank you).
My problem was, I was getting this value from the database. Our database is
oracle and the fields in question were of type char[x]. These are fixed
length fields that are padded with spaces on a result set! So a state of
"GA" is not equal to "GA "!!
Thanks for everyone's help on this. This was not a struts issue (usually
isn't).
thanks,
Mike

Re: Struts with Jbuilder 6

[Michael Lee]

LOL!LOL! I can not belive your response to his link. My god...
Anyway
I have used struts with Jbuilder 4,6 and now 7. It is a java application,
like any other. The question itself makes no sense. If you mean what good
struts tools are there that integrate with jbuilder (almost any java ide
really) then check out...
http://easystruts.sourceforge.net/
There are a bunch more on
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/resources/guis.html
I think this is your problem. You are not doing your homework. When I post a
question here I make sure I have
1) Read all the jakarta struts docs I can
2) Read all pertinent jakarta struts javadocs
3) Look through all pertinent struts examples in war files
4) Google search

You apparently not even done step 1. This is what many here find insulting.
Something I would like to see is these emails in searchable form. (I saw an
earlier email with a link)

Request for additional link on struts docs[Suggestion]

This is fantastic. I've happened upon this on some google searches but
google is many times behind.
Would this be a worthwhile link to have off the struts site?

Re: Need Help Fast

[Michael Lee]

Ive done this, everyone is overcomplicating it greatly...
Lookup.getData() gets an ArrayList of states.
This array list is loaded through an XML file that loads upon boot and puts
it in a static variable. This XML file can load it from itself or from the
database. It does all the .add() .add() .add() etc. This should NOT be done
in a jsp tag. Done once and pulled from static method like below. Nice and
simple.
Here's the JSP code.

<%  pageContext.setAttribute("allUnitedStates",
Lookup.getData(Constant.GLOBAL.UNITED_STATES)); %>

Subject: struts 1.1 b2 + Weblogic 7.0 = 

Hi all,



Previously my app is deployed in WL (weblogic) 7.0 with struts 1.1 b1
and everything works fine.  Then, I upgraded to struts 1.1 b2 by using
the new jar files and tld.  Now the app "crashes" randomly, usually when
a validation is firing.



The crash that I experienced is the app will just halt when a form is
submitted, and WL console shows nothing.  Is like the response is going
thru an infinite loop.  Sometimes I get java.lang.OutOfMemoryException
in the WL console and I have to restart the server.  Yup, not just
redeploy, but a restart.



I'm pretty sure is not something in my code since I didn't change my
source when I upgrade from struts 1.1 b1, and it was working fine with
beta 1.



Had anyone experienced this ?  Any input is appreciated.  Thanks in
advance.







Louis

Re: Validator later rather than sooner?

[Michael Lee]

Along the same thread, we are having a validation design problem.
We have broken most of our Action classes up into multiple classes. Before
we had one and used the property in the action mapping. That makes the
Action classes much more readable.
Problem is, these action classes still just use one ActionForm. This
ActionForm's validation method checks the parameter because the validation
for each page is different. This is starting to get large and unwieldy. I
don't want to have to create basically the same ActionForm for each Action
class when they are all mostly the same.
Question is, what is a clean way of breaking up all these validations?
Should I continue to check the action parameter and validate against it
within the same validation method for that one Action form? I was thinking
of extending the UserForm (the ActionForm in question) and just implementing
the validation method. This way I could also get rid of the parameter in the
action mapping of the struts-config.xml.
Thanks,
Mike

We do use the same form. That's the problem.

Re: Validator later rather than sooner?

[Michael Lee]

ActionForm reused across many actions, not the whole app. Its a UserForm.
Between admin create user, admin edit, end user edit and create, etc, it
would not make sense to have multiple aciton forms that all have 95% of the
same data. I'm just wondering how to split up the validator without using
parameters in the action mappings, which is how I do it now. The validator
becomes too huge.

Re: Validator later rather than sooner?

[Michael Lee]

If by ValidatorActionForm you mean ValidatingActionForm then I can't
(shouldn't). It recommends what I suggested as a possible solution in the
original post. That is, overriding the UserForm and using that form for the
appropriate action mapping in the struts-config.xml. I would be overriding
the validate() of UserForm which is overriding validate() of ActionForm. I'm
using struts 1.0.2 btw.

Javadocs for ValidatingActionForm
"Deprecated. Application ActionForm beans should now extend ActionForm
directly, and override the validate() method if they wish to provide such
services"

Mike

Putting request parameter into page context

[Michael Lee]

This seems like it would be so simple yet I can't get it to work
I've tried all kinds of combinations of bean:define...

I want to take the request parameter startRow and put it in a page object startRow
startRow is in the request (URL.com/someaction.jsp?startRow=10).

j_security_check, jaas and weblogic 6.1

[Michael Lee]

I have to do security for the company I am at. I have never used
j_security_check, jaas or weblogic 6.1 RDBMS (we have a database for
authentication/authorization). I read all through the examples on
j_security_check, jaas and WLS RDBMS out there I could get my hands on.
There seems to be no good real world examples of how to tie all these
together. The reason I'm having an issue is struts is the middle man, the
controller so he is key to it all. I know i configure j_security_check in my
web.xml to point to use form authentication, i know all about deployment
descriptor configuration for ejb, war, etc. This is not the problem. I don't
see how JAAS fits into j_security_check? I also dont see how struts fits
into it either? Do I need to also add a login.do? I need to get the locale
for the user from the database and figured I would do this at the login.
JAAS wants LoginContext.login(), most j2ee say j_security_check and struts
examples have login.do (this is the way I've typically done it).
Help! I can't find any real world examples to tie all these together!
thanks!

Re: Iterate tag within an iterate tag

[Michael Lee]

I've done this...
The way I did it is the outer tag needs to populate data into a TagExtraInfo
class. The inner tag can now use this data.
You also have to make sure in your tld you tell it the TagExtraInfo class
you are going to use.
I've passed the data in the TagExtraInfo class into the attributes of the
inner tag. This is great for iterating through lists. You can use the outer
tag to pull the data and the inner tag to take it and put it in a table or
something. That way you can separate the data collection from the the
handler/view/manipulator for that data.
I learned how to do this from the book Java Server Programming J2EE edition.
Excellent book.
Mike

Re: j_security_check, jaas and weblogic 6.1

[Michael Lee]

Thank you! You are the ONLY place I've heard this!  Now everything seems to
make more sense.

I was just going to use j_security_check hooked into Weblogic RDBMS and put
the user in the session for authentication from there on in (JNDI security
to EJB). So this looks like the right path?

No offense, but is this right? BEA recommends you use JAAS all over the
place. I'm mainly going to use ACL in the deployment descriptors for my web
app and ejbs. I also noticed that almost all JAAS implementations were at
the java client layer. Few were servlets, etc. This would make sense with
what your saying because no container would exist at a pure java client
layer (such as with the JAAS RMI example that comes with weblogic).

BTW, EXCELLENT job with struts Craig and team. I have 2 systems IN
PRODUCTION! using struts. They wrote one at the job I'm at and I recommended
struts to replace it. We are now going full steam ahead with struts!
thanks,
Mike Lee

Re: Nested tags performance

[Michael Lee]

In addition to pre-compiling, most JSP engines compile only once unless a
new version of your JSP is added so it should only be slow upon first hit.

I've run into this problem before. The solution is...
Don't show the bosses/customers the product until you run through on
iteration of testing on all the jsps you plan to show!
With bosses/customers, it rarely matters when you say 'But it's only slow
the first time'! They don't understand compiled/slow once.

Re: JBUILDER keeps deleting the directory: WEB-INF/classes

[Michael Lee]

JBuilder 6 definately has some wierd 'issues' when it comes to building
enterprise apps (war/ear/ejb). I now use Jbuilder 7 Enterprise and it does a
much better job. It is still quirky (be careful when deploying wars, unset
that include necessary files or your war file will be 20 megs full of
j2ee.jar, weblogic.jar, etc). It does a pretty good job though.

However, since I've had similar problems, I use ant for full builds.
To just compile, deploy something fast, edit a deployment desciptor and
reploy, etc. JBuilder is good, but for most stuff, ant is king.
See a pattern?

Re: Memery Leak

[Michael Lee]

Dude, just do this...
on the command line where you run java . com.yourstuff.YourClass
add this parameter
-Xrunhprof:file=java.hprof.txt,heap=all,format=a,doe=y
Look at the end of the file. It will have all the objects
allocated/deallocated. Run your program for a while. Look for the objects
that get allocated but NEVER deallocated. These are many times static
objects like singletons and such that don't clean up well.
enjoy,

Re: Memory Leak[OT]

[Michael Lee]

No problem.
I have no problem with some OT posts as long as someone thinks it may be
struts(like this memory leak). As soon as they find out it's not, they
should redirect appropriately. I asked a security question here a week ago
or so that I thought was related to struts but wasn't. A very nice man known
as Craig McClanahan (?whos that? hehe) answered my question (there was NO
information I could find out there on it) even though it wasn't exactly
struts (I didn't know that). I have no problem helping newbs out when I can
if they think it's struts. We're all newbs to something.

Re: Using Struts in Weblogic & Eclipse [OT]

[Michael Lee]

Buddy, this sounds pretty OT. I'll help you, but you should know this isn't
a struts question...
The way to do this is...
Put this line in the start up path of weblogic where
java..weblogic.Server

-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_shmem,address=
abconn,server=y,suspend=n

In your IDE, enable remote debugging, hook or attach into localhost or
wherever your 'remotely' debugging, choose transport type and address. In
our case we use dt_shmem which is shared memory and an address of abconn
which is a unique id of the process to debug. If you debug remotely then
most likely you will use dt_socket and then address will be port.
This is good info. If you want any more then go to
http://java.sun.com/products/jpda/doc/conninv.html
Now no more questions OT and RTFM.   :)

getting data in value object out of logic:iterate

[Michael Lee]

I read the docs and looked through the examples and didn't see anything that
did what I was trying.
I have an array of Value(view) objects that I want to iterate through in my
jsp.

Here it is;

public class User
{
 private String firstName;
 private String lastName;
 public String getFirstName() { return firstName; }
 public void setFirstName(String firstName) { this.firstName =
firstName; }
 public String getLastName() { return lastName; }
 public void setLastName(String lastName) { this.lastName = lastName; }
...
}

public SomeAction extendsAction
{
  perform(
  {
User[] users = new User[3];
users[0] = user1;
users[1] = user2;
...
request.setAttribute("users", Arrays.asList(users));
return mapping.findForward("something.jsp");
  }
}

in the something.jsp



  
   ??? users.getFirstName(); ???
  
  
??? users.getLastName(); ???
  
...



HELP!
thanks,
Michael Lee

Re: getting data in value object out of logic:iterate

[Michael Lee]

You are very correct, there is a lot of 'chimp' like work in translating
value objects to forms to jsp tags to ApplicationResource.properties. I
spend lots of time double checking upper, lower case on stuff, simple
conversions (VO.setX(ActionForm.getX()) etc).
I'll have to check it out, thanks for the help!

Re: [OT] RE: Struts and Large ResultSet

[Michael Lee]

Actually this is a very valid topic, one which I'm struggling with now. I
use scrollable cursors when I set up my statement and setFetchSize and do
ResultSet.absolute() to go to the row that the 'NEXT' button sent. Is this
the right path? In struts I'll most likely send a
strutsAction.do&firstRow=50?listSize=25 or something on my submits but as
anyone done pagination on large sets like this? I do a query every time they
click next. I don't think this is the best idea but I don't want to keep a
result set sitting around...
any idea? Am I on the right path?

How to set locale using j_security_check

[Michael Lee]

I use container managed security in WLS using j_security_check. I have multiple 
languages. I want to load a user object with a locale and set it for that user as long 
as he is logged in (Action.setLocale(request, locale)??).
How would I do this if the container is handling log in for me? For example lets say I 
want to go to 
domain.com/main.jsp but first it sends me to domain.com/login.html. The container 
would then authenticate and send me to main.jsp. I want to intercept this return and 
log in the user and set the local so he can see his language 
ApplicationResources.properties.
Any hints? (I know this group has em! This is the best damn email group in the world, 
I swear)
thanks,
Mike

Re: [OT] RE: Struts and Large ResultSet

Does anyone have any good examples of pagination from jsp->struts->ejb/jdbc
and back with large result sets?
The web seems to be pretty thin on examples.

Couple of thoughts:

1. Can you get and unique ID of the record(s) and store it somewhere
(users session) ? Pageing through would be easy (although if you have to
store couple of 1000 ids, it's not pretty) 2nd option maybe ?

2. Or is there a certain order by which this ResultSet is ordered by (
SELECT blah from BLAHBLAH ORDER BY blah ) ? In this case you can store
the ID of the first & last record displayed and then on the "next" &
"previous" actions, you'd use these to go up and down ( so to speak ).

Re: InitParameter and Actions

[Michael Lee]

They have a parameter="someValue"
for every action mapping you set up. Is that what you want?
You can get the value in your Action class by calling
String prameterValue = mapping.getParameter();
hope this helps,

Re: DB hit from ActionForm Validate method

[Michael Lee]

I've always used validate() as simple form validation, such as ensure a
necessary field is set, not business validation such as a 3 login attempt
rule. I would recommend you set something in the request or session that
stores the number of attempts. In each action, when you check, increment
that number and then add a mapping forward for a 3 strikes your out rule so
on the last failed attempt instead of
mapping.findForward(mapping.getInput()) you send him to
mapping.findForward("3strikesyourout");

Your struts-config.xml would look something like this

Re: [FRIDAY] SOMEONE SAVE OUR LIST!!!!

Plus, add a [FRIDAY] filter if you so wish. Same thing for [OT], etc. I say
all is fair in love and [FRIDAY].
Im more annoyed at the one dude the other day that sent emails of;
1) test
2) job posting spam
3) email responding to group some an INDIVIDUAL email telling him to stop
spaming

There was no [OT] or [JOB POSTING] or anything of that sort. Annoying.

Re: How to set locale using j_security_check

Thanks but it still seems open.. We do give the user the ability to choose
language.

This is kind of what I was asking...
This can't be uncommon for struts users (as most are probably working in a
J2EE environment and using container managed security 'j_security_check').
I want to store the user object in the session. Included in that object is
the locale.
Problem is, using container managed security it will forward to the page
they requested and it will not have the locale set by the user on last log
in.
Help!

Hey, do any of you [FRIDAY] guys know how to handle iterating through

memory? I use JDBC cursors now but have to do the query upon each 'next' or
'previous'.

I always ask the tough questions that get few responses!

Re: Select Options

[Michael Lee]

A good example is in the struts-exersize-tablib.war in the struts/webapps
dir
look at html-select.jsp
You can create a collection of OptionBeans and select it or explicitly set
each option. There are examples of both in this jsp.

Re: [OT] RE: Struts and Large ResultSet

[Michael Lee]

The way I've done it is similar to number 2 but I did it all in Java using
cursors. I execute the query every time the user clicks next/previous. I
setFetchSize() instead of setCursorName(). Not sure how this will work as it
is a work in progress.

How to user logic:iterate

[Michael Lee]

Im having a helluva time getting logic:iterate to work..
I have a Users object that contains an array list of
User objects.
you call Users.getUsers() and it returns an arrayList
I stick that in the request object in the perform() method using 
request.setAttribute("users", users.getUsers());
In the JSP the code I have is;

 <% ArrayList users = (ArrayList) request.getAttribute("users");
   if(users != null)
   {%>


  
  
  
  
  
  
  


<%}%>

The error I'm getting is;

   <[WebAppServletContext(4398493,recei
ptsplus,/receiptsplus)] Root cause of ServletException
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot find bean aUser in scope null
at org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils.lookup(RequestUtils.java:493)

Re: How to user logic:iterate

Thanks but this still isnt working!
Nothing I try works!
WTF! AAA
Help anyone? This can not be so uncommon as no one here knows how to do
this?

Here's one of the many errors.
Users object contains getUsers() that returns an ArrayList of User value
objects.

I've tried many combinations of these lines
  
  
  

with these combinations of bean writers





But if I explicitly go through the object I can iterate through it. It seems
as though this tag needs better documentation and real world examples.
This works
<% Users users =

(Users)request.getAttribute("users");
   if(users != null)
   {
   Iterator iterator = users.getUsers().iterator();
   while(iterator.hasNext())
   {%><%
   User user = (User)iterator.next();
   out.print(""+user.getUserID()+"");
   out.print(""+user.getUserType()+"");
   out.print(""+user.getFirstName()+"");
   out.print(""+user.getMiddleName()+"");
   out.print(""+user.getLastName()+"");


out.print(""+user.getAccountDisabled()+"");
   out.print(""+user.getEmail()+"");
   }
%>
   <%}%>

Code is attached.
Help! I'm doing everything I can see/think of in the docs/examples/etc and
nothing is working.
Mike

Re: How to user logic:iterate[MORON]

[Michael Lee]

I would like to thank everyone on this email list that helped out. Every
little bit helped including the property attribute on iterate and that
logic:present is very handy.
The main problem though was a complete brain fart on my part.
I am moron, hear me roar.
I forgot to include the tag lib import for logic. The thing I dont
understand is how it even go to the bean:write tag inside the iterate and
failed there?
Oh well, if you ever get an error message like I did, don't run around like
a chickend with your head chopped off, just include this line at the top of
the jsp...
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>

AAA, I hate stupid mistakes that waste everyone's time!!!

Re: Security and Struts

[Michael Lee]

They have a good login example in the example war in the struts/webapps dir.
That's the way I've done it in the past. The way I'm currently doing it is
to use container managed security. This means NOT using struts for
authorization/authentication (for J2EE security). Since your using JSP your
probably gonna do form base authentication so just post your form to
action="j_security_check" and make sure your form username and password
fields are j_username and j_password appropriately. Check your container
documentation for how to hook this into its security model.
I'm currently actually having a problem with this in that I need for the
user information to be stored in the session at login. I may just put a tag
at the top of every page but that seems to get rid of the 'niceties' of
using J2EE security. I want to set the locale based upon the loaded user
object. Problem is, it goes right to the requested jsp page after login
without loading the user and his preferences. Not sure how I'm going to
handle this but in the mean time, that is how I handle security.

Re: [OT] RE: Struts and Large ResultSet

[Michael Lee]

This is to all the book writing dudes.
A lot of people here seem to be writing struts books.
Include an example that does this...
Scrolling through pageable data on a JSP from a large result set is very
common for J2EE/struts developers yet there are no good examples out there.
Real world examples would help sell the book for me.
My 5 c

BTW, I'm implementing this same routine now as we speak. I've done it before
(setting cursors and cursor sql in JDBC) but I'm trying to do it slightly
differently and in a more DB independent way (no DB specific SQL, stored
procedures, etc. just JDBC method calls and DB independent SQL) so I'll post
the code here when I get it working (and working fast).

If your talking about security auditing then there is a container specific
way in WLS. WLS allows for a customer security audit class.

set a value from a form to a form

[Michael Lee]

I have a form object that populates html fields. The problem is, I want to display 
some of the form data and have it uneditable. When I submit the form loses all the 
data that is not in an html:.. tag.
I've tried...

but this doesnt seem to work
thanks,

Re: RE: Security and Struts

What if we didn't want to use this and wanted to use Weblogic (or the
system) container security. I just want something to load the currently
logged in user to the session and set the local to the user's locale (pulled
from database).
thanks,

set a value from a form to a form

[Michael Lee]

I have a form object that populates html fields. The problem is, I want to display 
some of the form data and have it uneditable. When I submit the form loses all the 
data that is not in an html:.. tag.
I've tried...

but this doesnt seem to work
thanks,
Mike

Re: Problem with ApplicationResources properties file.

[Michael Lee]

Make sure your properties file is in your classpath and, if you for some
reason have multiple ones, that it is before the other ones in the
classpath.
Mike

PS: Does anyone know how to get a value from a form and then set it in the
form for the next request (want to display it but not use html:tag. This is
an earlier question.

Re: set a value from a form to a form

[Michael Lee]

?I haven't used hidden fields in over 4 years and have never had a problem.
You definately have to be careful with what you stick in the session, I
agree. I don't think it makes the app less scaleable as long as you use a
session object responsibly.  I've been using sessions since they've been
around and have never had a problem. I like the end user to see as little as
possible when it comes to controlling variables. I make an exception when I
want to give them access to something pertinent (the URL for mapquest is a
good example). This is a potential security hole (of which I have been able
to take advantage of before, not maliciously of course, just as a matter of
curiosity).

You can get the value you need from your form bean out of the request. The
problem is you lose scope unless you put it in the session. The more I think
about it the more I'm realising it's either the session or a hidden field
because there is no way to get data between requests outside of those
mechanisms. A request is just that, a request per page
hmmm...
So it's session if you don't want the user to see anything or hidden fields
if you don't want to put the data in the session for some reason.
thanks, I've always just stuck this stuff in the session but I may have a
valid case for a hidden field.

Re: Struts 1.1 Final release

[Michael Lee]

Be nice
There are no ship dates for jakarta stuff. It is released when it meets a
certain level of quality/features.
You can help it meet the ship date! It's open source!
I'm going to ask my bosses if I can release some of my code here as examples
(modified to protect our interests of course). Lots of good examples.

Re: [OT][ALT-TECH] Apple Web Objects

[Michael Lee]

My first programming experience was basic and assembly on the TRS-80 in 1980
(I was 10 years old, saw another dude that had same thing. Gifted and
talented magnet school also). Moved onto C64 when I was 13 or so (1983-4).
Got burnt out on coding when I was 18 but went back in at college when I got
burnt out on Electrical Engineering. Coding is my gift!

I would have given my right **choose appendage important to you** when I was
15 for all the free software tools they have available now (Java, DirectX,
etc).

Java Server Programming, etc are all good books but THE BEST computer book
every made was by far the C64 programmers reference guide. It was the last
book that could explain every last thing you could ever need to know about
developing an app for a platform. Now you have to reference online docs in
34234 different sites, manuals, books, etc. I miss that somewhat...

Here we go then! :)  Can't go as far back as Apple II but my father
bought a Iix which was my first introduction to the Mac.  They were
_expensive_ back then.  My first Mac was an LC475 (LC68030) followed by
a 7200.  I then worked for Apple for a year during which time I bought
myself an 8600 on employee purchase :D.

Before Macs I had been an Atari ST and Sinclair Spectrum guy.  I now
almost exclusively use a PC :(.  Which is a shame.  I am seriously
considering a new Mac and OS X.

Re: Additional helper tags wanted

[Michael Lee]

We use it all here. We had a big meeting and all agreed on one thing.
Views tend not to be too reusable so...
Use whatever medium you can to get something up fast. That usually means it
depends on the type of data comming in.
Here we get some data as XML (we do digial receipts and there is an XML
standard).
That data, we use XSLT.
We have a lot of data also in a database.
It is much faster to just code up some jdbc, put it in a value object (to
allow for business processing) and then use struts tags to pump em out on
the JSP.
Basically how we got the data dictated the view. I've found XSLT to be
'wordy'. I think its just as easy to write another damned JSP and parse the
Java Objects up there as it is to create another XSL page and use the same
JSP.
I consider views to be relatively non-reusable so time to market is my big
concern.
(I use lots of JSP tags and programs like struts to create the reusable
aspects of the view).

That just returns a list of books. It doesn't denote what we recommend. They
have user ratings but I would think that the struts email list would
probably be the best place to ask so I think it's a semi legitimate

Re: Sending parameters to form beans

[Michael Lee]

Ya, you go out and read his book, or you can do this;





I prefer to just get my answers in 5 minutes rather than read a whole book
to get the answer.
This is cut and pasted from my actual app.
The only other way is to put it in the session or add it to a URL request
such as http://domain.com/strutsaction/something.do&userID=Bob.
You can't put it in to the request because it doesn't exist yet.
(I just asked this question yesterday). Got some answers but no one really
said this. I just figured this out. Seems obvious now, but not when your
coding it up.

Re: Additional helper tags wanted

[Michael Lee]

Oh struts, definately. I use struts like a toolkit. I hand a web page to our
graphic artist with all the  and  and
 in it. It can put them wherever he needs them with ease,
just like an html tag. All the session/request information and logic is
hidden through html 'like' (struts) tags (and our own custom tags). We use
the jakarta XSL taglibs when the data is pulled from the database in XML
format. I still wrapper the XML in a Java object so if we need to break it
up and do business logic on it the interface can stay the same. Then when it
gets to the JSP he just uses the jakarta XSL tag lib and transforms it where
necessary. I just look at this argument as kind of academic. I say, use
whatever your most familiar with but use it cleanly (JSPs use tags,
javascript use a .js tag instead of inline javascript, etc). View, in my
opinion, are not to be looked at as the reusable components of your system.
Those should be your JSP tags (yay struts and jakarta tag libs!) and/or XSL
documents. This is VERY pertinent to what we do as we make digital receipts
that come from the retailer in XML format. You can imagine we DON'T want to
have to write JSP code to transform every one of these for every new retail
customer we get. We use XSLT on that. But that is because the data is
comming as XML already and we're familiar with XSLT. The data we pull from
the database we use JSP/struts/internal tags and value/form objects to
populate the screens. Our graphic artist is great with XSLT so that is his
preference and as a developer it is easy enough to change a Java bean to XML
for him.

Here is a design I came up with (I'm the J2EE architect) for the system that
addresses both these issues.

All your value objects have a toXML() method. They also follow the bean
format for all the data. The XML transformations are handled by Helper
classes for serialization purposes.

You can just call User.toXML() and get the XSL sheet for that XML if you
want to use XML or you can use
 if the data is not in XML but
stored in the Java object's fields. Either way the interface is the same.
This means that if we go to a new customer we don't have to change a lot of
code except at the view layer. We use EJBs and override them as needed for
new customers but deploy them to the same JNDI name (as long as the state
flow is the same).
Works like a champ so far. We're in development but it is nice.
Mike

Re: Question for using struts as our standard MVC framework

[Michael Lee]

Here's an argument, and have him email me if he has any questions...
I was brought on to my current company as a J2EE Architect.
It was basically one developer. He had a home brewed servlet controller
layer. I recommended struts. He pushed back (that's natural, it's his baby).
But he is rational and I explained a few points to him;
- The features of struts and how it did everything he did
- It is much more feature rich. More here being the html libraries so you
dont have to worry about session/request maintenance. That's big in my
opinion.
- It has a development community behind it meaning it will be as up to date
as our needs as J2EE developer's see we need.
- It is well tested. Much more so, I'm sure, than his. So not only is it
more powerful and feature rich, all the functionality and features are more
stable than what he has.
- It is maintained by someone else leaving us the job of writing business
code and not servlet frameworks (which are being written again and again all
over the world! ARRRGH! STOP IT!). This is a big one of the management types
when they realize it can save lots of design/development time because it's
one less piece to worry about.
- You have the source code so, at the very least, you can tweak it to fit
any needs that may not be covered by it that may be in yours. (I HIGHLY
doubt this would be the case).
- I have 2 systems in production with it as we speak.
- I'm here to help if you have any questions (You may have to just say this
and then get your learn on, or post a question here...AFTER YOU'VE DONE YOUR
RESEARCH!)

The fact that now he doesn't have to maintain his framework was a big
selling point in addition to the others.

If these don't work then tell him to go write a J2EE container as well.
There are reasons people pay for software (and people get together and write
open source). There is a common need

This worked here and we're using struts instead of the homebrewed job.
Mike

Re: HOWTO add actions to the Struts "pipeline"

[Michael Lee]

I'm getting ready to write a servlet filter (2.3) to do something similar.
This is servlet 2.3. If you don't need struts specific stuff in the specific
piece of code you need then this is the way to go. You can add the filter to
url-patterns in your web.xml.
Thanks to Craig McClanahan for this one.

No real world examples and no good documentation describing those examples.

Hi Raghu,
in my opinion, for developing, struts is a huge help.

The disadvantages are only in the administrative/costum-related parts
(mainly if you want to support a long-lifing application).

Re: Reloading struts-config.xml

[Michael Lee]

I use Weblogic 6.1sp3. I put everything in my WAR. The struts app goes in
WEB-INF/lib/struts.jar and the struts-config.xml goes in the WEB-INF dir. I
even have a resource bundle in there.
It all gets reloaded upon deployment!
VERY nice feature.
In a nutshell, if your container can class load your app again from a war
then there is one solution.

I would like to know if there is a way to setup struts (in development mode)
to automatically reload its configuration file when it has been modified.
Or how can I make it reload the file, on demand, without having to redeploy

Re: Redirecting to a relative URL from root

by default the '/' root is from your webapp, as it should be. All URLs

Re: Redirecting to a relative URL from root

[Michael Lee]

Cool! Did not know that! I take it when you say that solution doesn't work
you just mean the one scentence..
" If your going to another webapp just do an http:// (Is this last
sentence right?)"
So you just use // and it get's you to domain root? Is that right?
so if I had
http://domain.com/webapp1/somepage.jsp
http://domain.com/webapp2/somepage.jsp

from somepage.jsp all urls from "/anotherpage.jsp" would be
http://domain.com/webapp1/anotherpage.jsp

and to go to webapp2/somepage.jsp the url would be
"//webapp2/sompage.jsp" which equates to
http://domain.com/webapp2/somepage.jsp

Is this correct?

Wow, this looks like an email sent just a few hours ago!
Anyway, put your app in a war and redeploy.
The class loader should reload it and pick up the changes.
Works for me in weblogic 6.1 sp3.

Hi all,
How can I re-initialize the ActionServlet in order to reload the
Struts-config.xml without reload the whole web app?

Thanks.

HELP! html:options with a hashmap

[Michael Lee]

I posted this before but haven't heard anything. Thought I would put up the error 
message too. What name do I put for name? The examples don't use a hashmap (seems 
logical for 'options'). When I put name it does the name and value. I want it to put 
the name under name and value under value, not both in the drop down.

I want to populate an  with data from a Map (HashMap). I have

...
<% pageContext.setAttribute("allUserRoles", Lookup.getData(Constant.USER.USER_ROLES)); 
%>
...


  


I don't see an example in the struts-exercise-taglib.war under html:select
It is vector or Object[].
Ideas?
thanks,
Mike

HashMap with html:options? Anyone? **crickets**

[Michael Lee]

I have looked through all the docs, javadocs, examples, google searches and nada.
Anyone know how to use html:options with a HashMap. I have tried about every 
combination I can think of.
Thanks,
Mike

Re: HashMap with html:options? Anyone? **crickets**

[Michael Lee]

I searched. All I got was one response from someone saying it cant be done.
I don't believe that.
Anyone else know how to do this?

Re: HELP! html:options with a hashmap

[Michael Lee]

Hmm, that's the way I'm trying/having to do it now, it just seems logical
that it would use the keys as the html option value and the map values as
labels by default. Oh well.
Ok, kinda depressing (We have to do this A LOT). Thanks for your help Joe.

You don't see an example because html:options expects a *Collection*, not a
Map.  I have no idea if the tag works with a Map, but it probably doesn't
because it expects a Collection object.  If you want to use a Map
implementation (like HashMap), then your property getter should return
myHashMap.entrySet() and you should set these attributes in the
: property="value" labelProperty="key".  Something like
that.

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/index.html


Struts javadocs are quite verbose:

http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/doc-1.0.2/api/index.html

Click on any of the taglib packages in the top left frame, then the package
name in the bottom left frame, then the "Description" link that comes up in
the right frame.  Gets you descriptions of any tag.  You can reach these
throught the Struts site as well.

Re: HELP! html:options with a hashmap

[Michael Lee]

Wow! This worked like a champ! What I was doing was actually not what you
were saying. What I was doing was much more complicated. This is MUCH
cleaner.

The thing I didn't know about we're the "key" and "value" names. I found the
"value" one but didn't understand exactly how to use it. I found the only
pertinent example on some spanish web site. I tried to figure out what they
were doing but to no avail. (Hey Marc, how's that for well documented?)

Anyway, here's the code for all to enjoy;
...
***This section gets the HashMap with the Lookup.getData() method
then calls .entrySet()*
<%
pageContext.setAttribute("allUserRolesKeys",
Lookup.getData(Constant.USER.USER_ROLES).entrySet());
%>


  


Thanks again Joe,
Mike

Re: HELP! html:options with a hashmap

[Michael Lee]

I agree but it's not in a form, it's pulled from a helper class.
I did a little research since you told me about the entrySet() in HashMap.
Since there are no get/set methods in HashMap/Set I thought that "key" and
"value" were just reserved words in struts. This kind of bugged me since it
seemed to deviate from the whole struts/jsp introspection model. I figured I
was missing something and so I looked into entrySet() and this acutally uses
a HashMap internal class called Map.Entry. The javadocs for this are under
java.util.Map.Entry. In the javadocs show Map.Entry has a getKey and
getValue method. I let out a big 'ah' when I saw that. It all makes
sense now. That's why it works and why you can just use a HashMap as long as
you use "key" and "value" (the getKey getValue internal to HashMap). I never
would have found this without that clue (entrySet()). I've included my
updated code below...

 // This gets a HashMap and puts it in a variable called alluserRoles
<%
  pageContext.setAttribute("allUserRoles",
Lookup.getData(Constant.USER.USER_ROLES));
%>
.

  


If you use lots of static data, like dereferencing lists in a database, then
this is very handy.
you da man,
Mike

Cool.  Glad it works.  You could probably do away with the scriplet by
adding another property getter in your action form though, call it
getAllUserRolesKeysAsCollection, or some such title, and just return
myHashMap.entrySet().  To be honest, I've never used a Hashmap like this in
Struts.  I've always used an ArrayList for the Collection, populated with
KeyValuePair objects (with key/value getters).  Good to know it can be done.

Just peruse the javadocs for ResourceBundle (and similar classes). You will
see static finals all over the place. It has to be re-class loaded is my
guess. Just redeploy the WAR.

default value for html:select

[Michael Lee]

I have one MAIN question. I don't want to have to repost a question. I try searching 
for answers to my questions on the website but it always forwards me to google. Are 
these emails not cached for searching?

Anyway, 2 questions;
1) How do I set a default value in an html:select on an options list? I need the 
default state to be the one loaded from the struts form.


  



2) I do a query. I put the result in  the logic:iterate below. I want to alternate 
colors. I've seen this before but I couldn't do a search because of the aforementioned 
problem. Thanks

Re: default value for html:select

Thanks, but what I meant was set the default option chosen in the
html:options to be a value in the current html:form.
