using struts for larger apps

2002-01-22 Thread Peter Georgiou

Hi

I keep hearing that struts is only really suited for small to medium sized
applications.  Are there plans in the future to expand the capabilities of
struts so it is suitable for developing large applications as well.

Thanks

Peter

scaling up a strurt app to use ejb

2002-01-21 Thread Peter Georgiou

Hi

I'm developing a struts app at the moment using Resin as my JSP engine.  I
realise its probably overkill to use EJBs right now.  However, there may
come a time when I need to scale up to a distributed architecture.  My
question is:  how easy/difficult is it to scale my stuts app up to something
that uses EJBs?  I'd like to make the code I'm writing now in a way which
makes it is painless as possible when it comes changing over to a
distributed architecture.

I'd also like to stick with Resin, which I think is a nice product.  How
does Resin's implementation of using distributed object compare with other
products?

Thanks


Peter

iterate over bean attributes

2002-01-11 Thread Peter Georgiou

Hi

Is there a nice way to iterate over form bean attributes?

The only way I can think of is to copy all the form bean attributes to a
collection/array and then iterate over that data structure.

This situation arises because I'm displaying confirmation page listing all
the data from a previous form and I'm repeating lots of tables, with the
only changes each time being the bean attribute.

I was just wondering if there was a nicer way to do this than that what i've
described.


Thanks


Peter

Re: iterate over bean attributes

2002-01-11 Thread Peter Georgiou

Thanks for the replies.  I liked both solutions about using wrappers and
reflection.  I'm going to have a closer look at them.

Its not really essential that I use these solutions, but I just think its
nice to remove any repeated code where possible.

Thanks

traffic limit on a single machine

2001-12-14 Thread Peter Georgiou

Hi

I've been hearing a lot about whether an app needs to be EJB compliant or
not.  Does anyone know the limits, with regards to traffic, of a single
machine running, say tomcat with a struts application.  For example, could
an app running on a single machine handle 500 hits an hour, or 500,000 hits
a month ..

Are ther any guides to this sort of information


Thanks

Re: Best Struts Web Server

2001-12-11 Thread Peter Georgiou

I'm using Resin and I don't know too much about Orion, but are they not used
for different tasks?  Resin as a servlet JSP container, and Orion as an app
server/ejb container.  Can Resin also be used as an EJB container?

 Jason (or anyone else that has experience w/ both),

 How would you rate resin to orion?  I've done minor playing w/ Orion, but
 haven't had the opp. to use it in a project as of yet.  Haven't touched
 resin yet.  Performance benchmarks I saw a while back put Orion and Resin
in
 the same overall performance ballpark.

 I have investigated many app servers and I have found no of them can
 even compare to resin, it is by far the best.  And, if you happen to
 find a bug, Scott will usually fix it within a couple of days or you can
 fix it yourself since  you have the code.

  What is your experience with the Web server
  you
are currently
 using to run
  Struts?  Does it handle pages with a large
number of tags well?
   Have you
  had to discard a certain server because of a
problem in favor
 of another?
  Any comments appreciated...

 You really need to qualify your market before
asking the question.

 If you are serving up a million hits a month,
  you
might have one
 class of best,
 strictly because of the funds issue.

 If you are serving up a million hits an hour,
  that
would justify spending
 thousands on an app server that worked well
  under
a heavy load.
 But at ten,
 twenty, or thirty thousand dollars, that app
server would be
 total overkill on my
 little site,  even though it is definitely
  best.

 One bencmarking organization addresses this by
grouping in terms
 of total cost
 and/or number of transactions.

Choosing an app server to work with Struts

2001-11-27 Thread Peter Georgiou

Hi

This may be a bit off-topic, but i'd like some friendly advice with regards
to using an app server with an ejb container, with Struts.  I've never
actually used one b4, so the first step is which one should I choose.  I'd
like to know as much as possible so that I can follow just one learning
curve, as opposed to several, trying out the different options available.

Do I need a distributed environment?  Not right away, but I think I will as
my project scales larger and becomes more complex.  I thought about using
Expresso, which I know is not an app server but I really like.  However, I'm
not sure how it handles large amounts of data.  I'm also not sure how easily
I can scale up to a distributed environment with Expresso.

I've heard people on this group talk about JBoss and Orion.  Which app
server generally works best with Struts, and which one is easiest to learn?
What about Resin.cmp?  I know its not open-sourced but small start-ups can
license it for free I think

Thanks for any advice

Peter

Re: MVC security?

2001-11-26 Thread Peter Georgiou

Struts does allow you to place all your files including jsp files under the
web-inf directory, and therefore make them much more difficult for outsiders
to view.  You also don't have to give the name of the jsp file you want to
access from a form submission/link.

action=someJsp.do

in the struts-config.xml script:

action path=/someJsp
   forward=/web-inf/jsp/aJspFile.jsp/

Hope this helps

This issue has probably already been covered but if someone could lend me a
hand in describing any security benefits of having an MVC framework.

I'm not a security expert by any means, but my gut reaction is that the
struts framework provides some increase in security.  Could someone respond
back and describe what they are or aren't?

Thanks in advance!!

forms with duplicate attributes

2001-11-20 Thread Peter Georgiou

Hi

I'm developing a struts web app with several ActionForm objects which share
the same attributes, eg name, address etc.  I actually have 3 separate forms
which require address details.  To cut down on code I've thought of having
ActionForms and child ActionForms which inherit their parent's attributes,
along with their own attributes.  Is it ok to implement ActionForm objects
like this in Struts?

Thanks

Using tiles and expresso

2001-11-18 Thread Peter Georgiou

Hi

My question regards using struts with tiles and expresso.   For tiles I need
to define in web.xml:

org.apache.struts.tiles.ActionComponentServlet   and for expresso I need
to define in web.xml:

com.jcorporate.expresso.core.controller.ExpressoActionServlet.

If I want to use both Tiles and Expresso what can I do to include both of
the required Action classes.  The only way I can think of is to include the
implementation of one within the other.  I'm ion.assuming that I can only
use one Action servlet within an applicat

Thanks

Re: If someone is interested

I think there are so many people interested you may as well publicly show
the code.


Peter


 Hello colleagues,

 I've been developing a web app for myself and since
 it's not the first app using Struts I attempted
 to solve some general issues by providing some interfaces,
 custom tag and generic actions. More specifically I'm talking
 about tables, you know that questions about navigation,
 sorting, formatting and so on...

 To see what's done already, point your browser to
 http://english.yuriy-zubarev.com

 And if my work raises some interest among people,
 I'll beautify the code (if there is no big load in the office)
 and share it (with one of the purposes to get feedbacks
 and criticism).

 Best of luck,
 Yuriy Zubarev

Re: Security and Filters

I've just read the exVerify user guide.  It specifies that ezVerify tags

ApplicationResources.properties

2001-08-26 Thread Peter Georgiou

I've created a simple struts app but get the following exception when I try 
to load the .jsp page: home

javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Missing message for key home.title

in my ApplicationResources.properties file I've got a key/value pair:

home.title=my home

In my web.xml file I've got the following parameter set up for the Action 
Servlet:

param-valueApplicationResources/param-value

which is placed in the web-inf/classes directory

There seems to be problem reading the ApplicationResources.properties file 
which I cannot work out.  Any help with this would be much appreciated.  Am 
I doing something wrong???

Thanks

Re: ApplicationResources.properties

Thanks for your reply

I've checked and the rest of the application resources settings are there.  
One thing that is odd is that after i get the error if i try and load the 
struts-example application I get the same kind of error.  However, if I open 
up a new browser window the struts-example loads correctly.

Thanks

Is the rest of the Application Resource settings there? It should be
