Subject: Tiles extend


Hi all:

I'm developing my first aplication with struts and tiles. I define the tiles
in a XML file and I wanted to extend a definition. In the documentation said
when I extend a definition only must fill the attributes "name" and
"extends", but not "path" because it's extended. However when I did that an
error occur (Cannot get request dispatcher for path). If I put the same path
in both definitions it works fine. Is it a bug or always a must fill the
path attribute.

I'm using Struts 1.1 beta2.

Thank you

  Padma,

  Yes, this is the expected behavior. I have discover and corrected this
bug few days ago, but forget to update distribution ;-(. The same thing
should be done with  role !
  Thanks for this bug report, and its fixe, even if we have found it
nearly in the same time ;-) I will update distribution asap.

RE: Struts Validation Required and Float

[Padma Ginnaram]

Check if your float validator depends on required. Removing this dependency
should solve your problem.

Subject: Struts Validation Required and Float


When entering validations on a  form  in validation.xml, If you have a
fieldA  with "depends=required" and FieldB with "depends=float" (versus
depends="float,required) , if both those validation errors occur, the
validator will display only the "depends=required" validation error (FieldA
is required) the first time the user clicks on the Submit Button.

Once you enter a value for FieldA and re-click the Submit button, the
"depends=float" validation error  is displayed on the form (FieldB must be
a float).  Is there a way for both to appear at the same time the when the
Submit button is first clicked?

  Thanks, Pete Gabriel

RE: Am I the only one using java.util.Date?

[Padma Ginnaram]

If you are using struts 1.1 and validator framework,
StrutsValidator.validateDate converts the string to a java.util.Date and
returns this Date. This returned value gets saved on the validationResults
in the ValidatorForm.

ValidatorForm.getResultValueMap() returns a HashMap containing these
converted values associated to each form property that is being
validated/translated.

I am not using 1.1 yet, but used the same approach in 1.0 by extending
struts validator framework to do my form property conversion.

Subject: Am I the only one using java.util.Date?


My business layer bean has a field as java.util.Date (example:
birthDate). My form bean uses the String for this date (in this
example.. String birthDate). The problem is I can't seem to use
BeanUtils to copy the properties since it appears BeanUtils will only
convert a java.sql.Date by default (get
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch when using
java.util.Date) . I tried dealing with registering a custom Coverter I
wrote and registering it with ConvertUtils and below is a copy of the
message I posted concerning this problem.

I'm posting this question, though, because I'm curious how others have
dealt with this situation? Maybe using the BeanUtils or PropertyUtils
is not that common of a practice or most use a java.sql.Date as
opposed to java.util.Date? Having dates in form fields is common so
I'm curious how others transfer their form field dates to their
business model (as java.util.Date?).

Thanks for any info.

Below was Converter question I posted last night, in case anyone is
interested:

I'm still having a bit of trouble trying to use BeanUtils to copy
java.util.Date properties. It appears that it will work fine by
default with java.sql.Date but isn't set up by default for
java.util.Date (which I'm using for Dates in my business bean). I
build a class implements Converter interface and used the ConvertUtils
to register java.util.Date with this Converter. It works great
converting the String form properties to Dates as expected. The
question I have is how do I build a converter (or modify the existing
one) that will convert the Date properties to String properties when I
want to go the other way with the copyProperties (populate my DynaForm
from a business bean)? I tried modifying the covert method of the
Converter I created so that if the arg was a String property it would
covert and return a Date but the problem is this Converter never got
used when going the other direction (Date to String). Any ideas what
I'm doing wrong or what I can do to solve this problem?

RE: help please: Validator basic use

[Padma Ginnaram]

Try applying a simple validator like required to one of your form fields, if
it does not work verify the following.

1. name used in the validation resource file matches the name in your action
mapping
2. validate set to true in your action mapping
3. your form extends ValidatorActionForm, and if you have any custom
validation in your form, you  don't ignore the errors returned by
super.validate.

If the problem is only with date validator, are you entering this garbage
after you enter a valid date?

The date validator that comes with struts1.1 uses a short pattern (M/d/YY
for en_US) if you do not explicitly pass a valid date. It does not do strict
parsing by default unless you specify pattern using the variable
datePatternStrict.

If you want to implement strict date parsing with out having to specify this
pattern, write your own pluggable validator and check for the parse position

DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, locale);   
df.setLenient(false);  
  
ParsePosition pos = new ParsePosition(0);
Object obj = df.parseObject(value, pos);
if (pos.getIndex() == 0)
  throw new ParseException("Unparseable value: \"" + value + "\"" ,
pos.getErrorIndex());
if (pos.getIndex() < value.length())
  throw new ParseException("Unparseable value: \"" + value + "\"" ,
  pos.getIndex());

Hi I am attempting to use the date validation provided by the framework - I
am using struts1.1b2.

I think I must be missing something fairly fundamental but maybe someone
will be able to confirm what that is. The problem is when I enter garbage
into the form's date fields and submit them, I get no errors. How does one
usually display the errors when using the validator framework.

I have my validator-rules.xml and validation.xml config files in my
application's web-inf dir.

Their relevent contents are as follows:

validator-rules.xml

  

 
 

  

 and validation.xml:

   
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  

I have my action's validate attribute set to "true".

Are the above setup correctly?

Thanks

Sub Application & Shared Tiles Definitions Factory

[Padma Ginnaram]

I found the following note in tiles user guide about the shared definitions
factory 

"This plugin creates one single shared factory even if you have
several modules. The plugin first read factory parameters from web.xml and
then overload them with parameters from the first struts-config.xml file
read. Read order is determined by the order of module declarations in
web.xml." 

Why force the sub apps to share the definitions, and why force our selves
into providing unique names for definitions across multiple sub
applications?  If there are any common definitions across the sub apps, we
can specify multiple files, so what am I missing.

RE: [Struts Validator / i18N] accentuated letters with \w pattern dont work

from regexp javadoc at http://jakarta.apache.org/regexp/apidocs/ 
 \w   Matches a "word" character (alphanumeric plus
"_")

You probably need letters of latin-1 supplement (U+00C0 - U+00FF), refer to
http://www.unicode.org/charts/ for more details.

specify this range of characters in your mask pattern and the validator
should work. This worked for me for chinese characters with an older version
of the validator framework which use jakarta regexp.

RE: Sub Application & Shared Tiles Definitions Factory

[Padma Ginnaram]

Cedric,

Thanks for contributing this neat framework. Support for extending tiles
definitions, and sharing the common definitions between sub applications
using the comma delimited notation will help us separate and share what we
need similar the validation plugin which allows loading resources specific
to the app. 

We can also learn from tiles and add support for extending form validation
rules as well and being able to load the localized resource files based on
language postfix. 

I have gone thru the discussions on struts-dev and I am happy that we have a
proposal to make tiles definitions visible with in a sub app. 

Separating this will make our life easier when migrating to 1.1 to use sub
apps since we are currently using separate struts application using Stoehr's
extensions to support multiple controllers. If for some reason we need to
access definitions associated to a specific subapp in a page, we can
probably provide context/prefix attribute on the tiles tags.

I cannot give you a real example, since I am not using the sub apps yet.
Here is something that might be close.

we have definitions corresponding to error_400 page for each application
which differ in the nav bar. There is a common error_400 definition in a
common definitions file used by all apps. And each application extend this
definition and override the nav bar parameters.

If we use the current version of tiles in 1.1, the first sub applications
nav bar will be used when the displaying the error page for all sub apps. We
can probably come up with a better implementation for handling errors using
declarative exception handling but there are other scenarios like these that
need to be accounted for.

thanks,
Padma

  It was just a quick adaptation of Tiles to the new concept of modules. 
You are right that there is no reasons to enforce such rules. Any

behave and look like in the case of modules are welcome.

In your example you named indexed attribute is same as the name of the bean

In the iterate tag you are already iterating thru a list of strings returned
by sampleRowForm.getTempsud(), id holds name of the variable which refers to
the String corresponding to the current index. 

Hope this helps,
Padma

RE: localization with multiple charsets

[Padma Ginnaram]

According to this post
http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg12490.html 
the browser uses the charset specified in the   to send form
data. 

If the user changes the charset, it is probably used but you can look up
http spec at ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2616.txt.

You also want to think about decoding the data if you are going to use
different content type per locale. Refer to this thread for more details

Hi,

I'm developing a multi-lingual database driven web application with struts.
I've selected the Unicode character set (UNICODE_FSS) for my database
(Firebird), java manages strings in Unicode.
I've read the excellent chapter on Internationalization and Struts but some
questions remain concerning the view components.
For the Hebrew language there are several charsets available:
UTF-8 (unfortunately not all browser versions accept this charset)
Hebrew Windows
Hebrew ISO Visual
Hebrew ISO Logical
Etc.
Suppose I store my Hebrew resource text with the charset ISO-8859-8 and
I set all my content type for users with locale "he" to "text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-8".
What happens when the user changes his browser charset parameter to another
Hebrew charset and sends text input back to the server?
Any advice for planning my internationalization with Struts is welcome!

Your help will be appreciated.

RE: Validating nested:text fields in an iterate block

I did not use the nested tag but you should be able to validate indexed
fields by specifying indexedProperty and indexedListProperty (the version of
the struts validator framework I use never uses the indexedProperty).

Hi All,

Is is possible to use the struts validator to validate a nested:text field
within an iterate block.

I can't see a way to do this; validation.xml wants the name of a property on
the form; but within an iterate block the field names are made on the fly -
ie address[0].street. Is it possible to define a
property="address[*].street" ?

Any pointers much appreciated.

RE: how do i get a Field object in Validator?

[Padma Ginnaram]

Andy,

Its possible but you have to extend the commons validator, override the
validate method and add the form fields (validation resources not action
form) as a resource under . 

Extend the ValidatorActionForm and use your version of the validator.

Default method parameters are defined in the ValidatorAction (class
corresponding to the validator specified in the resource files). You can
override this when you define your validator in the xml file by specifying
methodParams="java.lang.Object,
org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction,
org.apache.commons.validator.Field, org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest,

I am trying to do something similar to pass the validation results for some
of my validators like daterange so I can compare the parsed value saved of
in the result map by the date validator using parsed values associated to
other form fields as min/max values.

In your validator-rules.xml file, add the following for each form field you
need access to:




secondProperty-Label
secondProperty-Value




secondProperty-Label would be what you want to call the variable in your
custom routine; secondProperty-Value would be the actual form field name
that contains the entered value.  Then in your custom routine you can access
these values by

public static boolean yourCustomRoutine(Object object,
ValidatorAction va, Field field, ActionErrors errors, HttpServletRequest
request)
{
String fp = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(object,
field.getProperty());
String sp = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(object,
field.getVarValue("secondProperty-Label"));

... do something ...
return true;  // or false if the validation fails
}

RE: Validator and multi-tiered nesting

[Padma Ginnaram]

You can try specifying rules for every monthbean "monthBean[0].dayBeans,
monthBean[1].dayBeans" as your indexed list property. 


or you can extend the validate method and call the validations on each
MonthBean yourself

ActionErrors errors = super.validate(.
for each month bean .

Validator validator =
StrutsValidatorUtil.initValidator(
mapping.getAttribute()+
".monthBean",
getMonthBean(indx), application, 
request,monthBeanErrors, page);
validator.validate();
merge(errors, monthBeanErrors, "monthBean", indx);

provide your monthBean validation rules using mainFormName.monthBean as the
form name.

As Hal explains in his response that the error

RE: Display JSPs based on language/country/variant

[Padma Ginnaram]

Title: RE: Display JSPs based on language/country/variant





You can support this by using tiles. This framework supports a concept called definition that can be localized. It also supports forwarding struts actions to these definitions. 

Write an action that forwards the request to a definition corresponding to the requested jsp. If there is no definition just forward to the requested jsp. The limitation is that all your jsps should be accessed through this action. So, instead of using xxx.jsp, you would use /jspForward.do?jsp=type.jsp.

You need to provide definitions for each jsp in the jspForward action as 


    
    type="ForwardJspAction">
  
  


This is just my understanding and not sure if this is the intended usage, you will get more information at http://www.geocities.com/cedricdumoulin/tiles/.
