extending nested tiles templates
Hi I'd like to be able to nest templates within other templates. I know it can be done but I'm not sure I can do it the way I'm trying to do it. AFAICT you have to add n tiles defs for each page you want to add where n is the depth of nesting within tiles. MasterLayout.jsp and FullHistoryBody.jsp both are templates and use tiles:insert. FullHistoryBody is a template for the 'body' section of the MasterLayout.jsp. What I'd like to do: definition name=pocweb.master path=/layout/MasterLayout.jsp put name=title value=OnePort master Layout / put name=header value=/layout/Header.jsp / put name=servnav value=/layout/ServiceNav.jsp / put name=navbar value=/layout/NavBar.jsp / put name=breadcrumb value=/layout/Breadcrumb.jsp / put name=body value=/layout/Body.jsp / put name=footer value=/layout/Footer.jsp / /definition definition name=pocweb.fullHistory extends=pocweb.master put name=body value=/layout/FullHistoryBody.jsp / /definition definition name=appointment.FullHistoryAppointmentJSP extends=pocweb.fullHistory put name=title value=Appointment Version History / put name=detail value=/pages/appointment/ViewAppointmentDetail.jsp / /definition this fails with FullHistoryBody.jsp complainging about not being able to locate the detail attribute. *** What I have to do to make it work: definition name=pocweb.master path=/layout/MasterLayout.jsp put name=title value=OnePort master Layout / put name=header value=/layout/Header.jsp / put name=servnav value=/layout/ServiceNav.jsp / put name=navbar value=/layout/NavBar.jsp / put name=breadcrumb value=/layout/Breadcrumb.jsp / put name=body value=/layout/Body.jsp / put name=footer value=/layout/Footer.jsp / /definition definition name=appointment.FullHistoryAppointmentJSP extends=pocweb.master put name=title value=Appointment Version History / put name=body value=appointment.FullHistoryAppointmentJSPbody / /definition definition name=appointment.FullHistoryAppointmentJSPbody path=/layout/FullHistoryBody.jsp put name=detail value=/pages/appointment/ViewAppointmentDetail.jsp / /definition The 'problem' with this is that I have to add two tiles defs to add a single page. with n levels of nesting I'd have to add n tiles defs per page. cheers Nathan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Struts converts null to 0 ?
internally BeanUtils uses ConvertUtils to convert from Strings to objects. You can deregister the default converters http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/beanutils/apidocs/org/apache/commons/beanutils/ConvertUtils.html The default converters are initialised as follows with 0 for most numeric defaults. if you construct and register converters with no default value, null will be returned for or when an error occurs converters.clear(); converters.put(BigDecimal.class, new BigDecimalConverter()); converters.put(BigInteger.class, new BigIntegerConverter()); converters.put(Boolean.TYPE, new BooleanConverter(defaultBoolean)); converters.put(Boolean.class, new BooleanConverter(defaultBoolean)); converters.put(booleanArray.getClass(), new BooleanArrayConverter(booleanArray)); converters.put(Byte.TYPE, new ByteConverter(defaultByte)); converters.put(Byte.class, new ByteConverter(defaultByte)); converters.put(byteArray.getClass(), new ByteArrayConverter(byteArray)); converters.put(Character.TYPE, new CharacterConverter(defaultCharacter)); converters.put(Character.class, new CharacterConverter(defaultCharacter)); converters.put(charArray.getClass(), new CharacterArrayConverter(charArray)); converters.put(Class.class, new ClassConverter()); converters.put(Double.TYPE, new DoubleConverter(defaultDouble)); converters.put(Double.class, new DoubleConverter(defaultDouble)); converters.put(doubleArray.getClass(), new DoubleArrayConverter(doubleArray)); converters.put(Float.TYPE, new FloatConverter(defaultFloat)); converters.put(Float.class, new FloatConverter(defaultFloat)); converters.put(floatArray.getClass(), new FloatArrayConverter(floatArray)); converters.put(Integer.TYPE, new IntegerConverter(defaultInteger)); converters.put(Integer.class, new IntegerConverter(defaultInteger)); converters.put(intArray.getClass(), new IntegerArrayConverter(intArray)); converters.put(Long.TYPE, new LongConverter(defaultLong)); converters.put(Long.class, new LongConverter(defaultLong)); converters.put(longArray.getClass(), new LongArrayConverter(longArray)); converters.put(Short.TYPE, new ShortConverter(defaultShort)); converters.put(Short.class, new ShortConverter(defaultShort)); converters.put(shortArray.getClass(), new ShortArrayConverter(shortArray)); converters.put(String.class, new StringConverter()); converters.put(stringArray.getClass(), new StringArrayConverter(stringArray)); converters.put(Date.class, new SqlDateConverter()); converters.put(Time.class, new SqlTimeConverter()); converters.put(Timestamp.class, new SqlTimestampConverter()); Larry Meadors wrote: Yeah, that is the joy of bean-utils.

wrapping action invocations
Hi, Apologies if this is a duplicate, I posted a few days ago but it doesn't seem to have made it to the list. I'd like to introduce a layer between the action servlet and the action classes to perform generic processing - authorisation, error handling etc. I have 2 solutions: 1) subclass the RequestProcessor with generic code in an overridden processActionPerform method. 2) provide an Action base class, generic code goes in a final implementation of the execute method which delegates to an abstract doExecute method. Each subclass implements the doExecute method. or is there some other way of achieving this?

looping with ant:available
Hi,
I test for a condition within a loop using the ant:available tag
j:forEach var=lib items=${pom.artifacts}
j:set var=dep value=${lib.dependency}/
j:set var=junitejb.test.jar value=${dep}/
ant:available property=junitejb.test.jar.available
file=${junitejb.test.jar}/
j:if test=${junitejb.test.jar.available}
do something with the file
/j:if
/j:forEach
if junit.test.jar.available is set to true it is never reset to false or
null. If the available is false, the property is left in whatever state
it is currently in.
any ideas for a workaround as I guess I'm stuck with how ant works.
cheers

tiles, modules tiles-defs
Hi, I posted a question earlier as to whether it was possible to have a module based web-app with each module having its own tiles defs configuration. The tiles-documentation web app is a working example of this. So that answers my first question. On looking at the details of the webapp the tiles-defs are within each module configuration as follows: struts-tutorial-config module plug-in className=org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin set-property property=definitions-config value=/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml, /WEB-INF/tiles-tutorial-defs.xml / set-property property=moduleAware value=true / /plug-in struts-doc-config module plug-in className=org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin set-property property=definitions-config value=/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml, /WEB-INF/tiles-doc-defs.xml / set-property property=moduleAware value=true / /plug-in struts-config module plug-in className=org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin set-property property=definitions-config value=/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml / set-property property=moduleAware value=true / /plug-in etc. can someone explain to me the significance of specifying the tiles-defs in this way? is this to make paths defined in one tiles-defs file available to another module? Is there any other significance of having multiple tiles-defs declared within each module? cheers Nathan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: How to keep session info??
Make sure that your forward/ isn't doing a redirect (i.e. redirect=true). If I understand things correctly, a redirect will cause a new session to be created... Jerry Are you sure? I haven't looked at this area of the source for a while but I can't think any sensible reason why it would be desirable for a redirect to cause a new session. If the problem is that a variable is placed into the session and then is missing during the same request (and the forward is within the same web-app), it sounds to me like there might be some erroneous code somewhere. I'd check for silly mistakes check you aren't putting null in the session, check you aren't setting the var in the request rather than the session, check the var in the session isn't null immediately after placing in the session, check the request isn't going via some code that calls session.invalidate(), or is removing the var from the session. hope this helps Jerry Jalenak wrote: -Original Message- From: development [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 8:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to keep session info??

Re: UPON APPLICATION STARTUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
select tags or indeed any tag that acts on a collection uses the name property to locate the collection.

Also, is there any plan to make the struts tags support the definition of the corresponding jstl tags?

RE: tiles / portal / digester
Is there a standard way of reversing the Digester code (taking an object tree and generating XML) - do we need a regurgitater :) I don't know about a standard way to revers digester code. Could be interesting. ATM just doing some ugly dom building and generating xml from that. Is it possible to re-use the digester that tiles uses to read the tilesDefinition.xml to generate the object tree when retrieving the preferences from the database? Tile use the digester to read xml files. You can reuse it to read any file with appropriate format. But if you want to read from a read DB, you can only reuse part of it. This could be an interesting extension/new feature for Tiles. I've found the code I needed in org.apache.struts.tiles.xmlDefinition.XmlParser - I cut the code from here as its private - could be a case for making method public? I think I favour storing the preferences (definitions) as XML over serializing the objects. I anticipate a need for admin functions to operate globally e.g. remove / add / modify a component from everyones definitions. I think this might be possible by sql operations on the db rather than deserialize / modify / reserialize. Apart from this, it seems to be going well, I'll let you know how I get on. ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Struts Console
Hi Ted, I'll try to update the TODO list, since many items there are actually being tested, are already done, or just obsolete. bit off topic from the original post but seeing as your talking about the todo list I spoted this on the list: PropertyEditor Support. Add support for JavaBeans that include a PropertyEditor class for conversion to and from the string representation used in an HTML input field. This support should operate in a manner consistent with the way that standard JSP tags do in JSP 1.2. I've implemented a proof of concept of this in the commons.beanutils package and posted this to the commons-dev list but got no response back, (src attached). If this is wanted for inclusion then I'll gladly clean the code up and write more tests. In summary: Using this code, form bean properties can be any type (assuming a PropertyEditor class is provided). PropertyEditors which provide the same functionality as the current ConvertUtils are included in the jar changes to ConvertUtils 1) removed of all conversion code (virtually all of the code is now for the defaults) 2) default values opened to package scope to enable the PropertyEditor classes to use the default values 3) registration of the PropertyEditor classes for use with the basic types and object wrappers in the static initialiser. other changes: addition of the basic property editors. addition of a java.util.Date property editor (example of a non-basic property editor) added a test to the BeanUtil test case to test the populate method for a variety of cases (by no means exhaustive). The only reason we have to implement all of the Basic Property Editors is because of the default property functionality (provide a default value if parsing fails - standard editors throw IllegalArgumentException). Without this functionality the we could use the PropertyEditor classes that come with the VM.

tiles / portal / digester
Hi, I'm trying to develop a basic portal app using tiles. Each user may have selected different components that they want to display in different locations. At the moment the I'm thinking of implementing this by dynamically building up a Definition for each user containing their preferences - an object representation of something like this: definition name=main.portal.body path=/layout/columnsLayout.jsp put name=numCols value=2 / putList name=list0 add value=/tutorial/portal/login.jsp / add value=/tutorial/portal/messages.jsp / add value=/tutorial/portal/newsFeed.jsp / add value=/tutorial/portal/advert2.jsp / /putList putList name=list1 add value=/tutorial/portal/advert3.jsp / add value=/tutorial/portal/stocks.jsp / add value=/tutorial/portal/whatsNew.jsp / add value=/tutorial/portal/personalLinks.jsp / add value=/tutorial/portal/search.jsp / /putList /definition when saving a users preferences I'd convert the object tree to xml and store it somewhere. Is this a good idea? Is there a standard way of reversing the Digester code (taking an object tree and generating XML) - do we need a regurgitater :) Is it possible to re-use the digester that tiles uses to read the tilesDefinition.xml to generate the object tree when retrieving the preferences from the database?

struts portal?
Hi, quick question, is there any struts or apache sub-project to provide 'portal-like' functionality? basic functionality for users to select components from a default list that they want to see in their home page. Our current app is in struts and we'd like to avoid adding more new technologies if possible.

obtaining action forwards in jsps
Hi, Is there any way to obtain the action forward urls in jsps using their logical 'struts-config' name? I'd like to code links etc point to certain action forward urls found in struts config rather than hard coding the url? Similarly I'd like to be able to change the action url of forms using values found in struts-config using the logical forward name. Is this possible?

RE: The index number of iterate tag
logic:iterate name=myBeanName property=myBeanProp id=indexedBeanName
indexId=myIndexName
this will:
1) iterate over the collection / array obtained by calling 'getMyBeanProp()'
on the bean named 'myBeanName'
2) place the current element in the iteration in page context against the
name 'indexedBeanName'
3) place the current index in the page context against the name myIndexName

Subject: The index number of iterate tag
Hi,
Could any one tell me how to get the index number in a iterate tag? For
example, I want to show a html table in screen like below.
No. Name. Address..
---
1 AAAXX
2 BBB xxY
3 CCC ffxx
..
And I have a collection of objects which have attribute name and address ...
etc. I can use logic:iterate to display this collection. But I don't know
how to get the item number number. Now, I use a variable i and use scriptlet
%= ++i % in JSP, but I think the codes are ugly. Is there a tag or
implicit variable to get the index number of logic:iterate ?

Vincent??¡¢??.úÞ{¡¢?§]ë,jØm?ÿ¨¥É¨h¡Ê

java.util.Date properties
Hi,
We've got a number of forms in which it would be useful to have
java.util.Date properties. Is there any plan to have conversions for data
types other than the standard java.lang basic type wrappers?
from Convert Utils
if (clazz == stringClass) {
if (value == null)
return ((String) null);
else
return (value);
} else if (clazz == Integer.TYPE) {
return (convertInteger(value, defaultInteger));
} else if (clazz == Boolean.TYPE) {
return (convertBoolean(value, defaultBoolean));
} else if (clazz == Long.TYPE) {
return (convertLong(value, defaultLong));
} else if (clazz == Double.TYPE) {
return (convertDouble(value, defaultDouble));
.
what about adding
}
else if (clazz = java.util.Date)
{
return DateFormat.parse(value);
}
any thoughts?
Cheers
Nathan

base, templates and relative urls
Hi, We've got a problem with relative urls to images in our pages due to jsps and templates residing at different directory depths. here's our directory structure /images/blah.gif /pages/MainTemplate.jsp /pages/section1/Section1Page.jsp /pages/section1/Section2Body.jsp Our pages are structured in directories beneath pages and subdirectories thereof. All pages are accessed via action servlet urls of varying depth e.g: /foo/bar/whiz.do /foo/bar/whiz/bang.do So for relative urls to other resources to work we've added a base tag to the main template. This is where it all goes a bit wrong. How do you now reference images etc in MainTemplate.jsp as the base could be at any depth so relative urls don't work. Similarly if we wanted to pass other pages in the template e.g /pages/leftnav.jsp etc, none of these would work. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is there some html:img attribute I've missed that will prefix the context to img tags? Solutions I can think of are: 1) place all jsps in one folder or at the same folder depth 2) write a custom tag that prefixes /MyContext/ to the src 3) use MS Front Page (only joking) On a similar note is there a 'correct' way of refering to components in a template - relative or absolute template:insert template='/pages/MainTemplate.jsp' template:put name='body' content='/pages/section1/section1_body.jsp'/ /template:insert or template:insert template='../MainTemplate.jsp' template:put name='body' content='section1_body.jsp'/ /template:insert Thanks Nathan ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

indexed properties problems ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
Hi,
I've followed various threads (Long Story Short etc) about Dave Hays index
tags enhancement and after much hair tearing!
The suggested code for the form bean is:
private ArrayList parameterList = new ArrayList();
public ArrayList getParameterList()
{
return(this.parameterList);
}
public void setParameterList(ArrayList parameterList)
{
this.parameterList = parameterList;
}
public Parameter getParameter(int index)
{
System.out.println(index);
if (idx parameterList.size()-1)
{
parameterList.add(index,new Parameter ());
}
return (Parameter) parameterList.get(index);
}
The problem I'm getting is that struts is calling the getParameter(index)
method out of sequence e.g.
index=5
index=4
index=17
index=17
index=3
index=7
index=16
index=15
index=2
index=14
index=10
index=1
index=0
etc..
and so the calls to add and get on the ArrayList result in
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException rather than building up the values.
This problem would go away if I used session scope form beans but I'd rather
not do that.
Has anyone else seen this problem / found a neat solution?
Cheers Nathan

display of ActionErrors

page flow control
Hi, In the site I'm developing, there are sections that have forms on consecutive pages, I want to guarantee that pages are navigated: page1 - page2 - pageN. At the same time allowing back and forward navigation to change values entered on previous pages. After the last submit, the only valid page in the sequence is then page1. I've had a look at the Struts Token functionality but I don't think it can support this functionality. Is it possible with Tokens or some other way? Thanks in advance Nathan
Re: Automathic user authentication
the method will return null if the user is not authenticated. There is also the method java.security.principal user = HttpServletRequest.getUserPrincipal() which returns the current user (if logged in). have a read of the security chapter of the servlet spec (chapter 11 in 2.2, chapter 12 in 2.3). This tells you how to configure your web app to require authentication to access certain resources.

relative urls
Hi, I've got an app that will be deployed to a number of different contexts /test /dev /staging / (root) The app contains a large amount of static content e.g. images which will always be referenced from /current_context/image some of the jsps are accessed directly and via the action servlet - sometimes with different depths for the action url e.g. /current_context/something/something_else/my_action.do /current_context/something/another_action.do /somepage.jsp this obviously rules out using relative urls for the static content but the changing contexts makes it difficult for basing the urls on root. Is the solution to precede the url to every image in every jsp with a variable containing the value of the context? Is this not a performance hit? What's the best way to do it? Is there a struts tag that does this for me? How do I achieve world peace? - oops wrong mail list. Thanks Nathan
Re: relative urls
cheers this is what I figured, seems like an unpleasant overhead object - instantiation and 3 method calls for every relative url in the site every time every page is accessed. Must be some hack to get the context and place it into a static final variable somewhere prior to jsp compilation. This would effectively compile the variable value into every jsp. Any ideas?
