Subject: Re: Validator and business rule


 Hello David,

 I think that the main problem in struts-validator is because is highly
 coupled with ActionForm. Ok, I can use commons-validator. But, my idea is:

 * Put the validation rules in only one place (a XML file that can be
 read and interpretated by struts and my business rule);
 * The validation rule also has the type of a column (indicating if is
 boolean, data, String, BigDecimal, ... );
 * The struts tags will generate JavaScript to validate the input of
 data;
 * My business rule will check if all data is ok again (because the
user
 can turn off JavaScript).

 My business rule generaly receives a Value Object to insert or update
 data. My VO is dynamic - I say which columns and rows they will have. If I
 know the type of data that came from ActionForm (I always use String in
 ActionForms) I can convert on fly the data between ActionForm and VO.

 Theres is a sample example:

 - Action --
  MyValueObject vo = new MyValueObject( form );// Works because
I
 will know the types of columns in ActionForm - it's defined in XML
  MyBusinessObject bo = new MyBusinessObject();

 bo.insert( vo );

 - MyBusinessObject -
 public void insert( MyValueObject vo )
 {
 if not checkIfAlwaysIsOk( vo ) { throw new Exception( ... ); }

 insertIntoDatabase( );

 // If a need to get some data from VO, I use - vo.get( lineNumber,
 columnNumber )
 }

 public boolean checkIfAlwaysIsOk( vo )
 {
 return Validator.checkIfRulesIsOk( vo, file with xml
 definitions );
 // Validator is a generic class that will be used by
 struts-validator and my business rule
 }

 Thanks,

 Regis Melo

  You can use the generic commons-validator in your business logic if you
  want.  The Struts version and the commons version can use the same xml
  config file for the validation rules.

How to use DBCP with Struts

2003-02-03 Thread Regis Melo
Hello,

I'm trying to use the DBCP with Struts. My struts-config.xml is:

 data-source key=sgr type=org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource
 set-property property=driverClassName   
   value=com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver /
  set-property property=url  

value=jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://JAVA:1433;DatabaseName=SGR;selectmethod=cursor /
  set-property property=maxActive 
value=2 /  !-- Cresce de forma indefinida --
  set-property property=maxIdle 
value=5 /  !-- Terá pelo menos 5 conexões no pool --
  set-property property=maxWait 
value=-1 / !-- O cliente esperará indefinidamente pelo pool --
  set-property property=validationQuery   
value=select 'SoftSite TBCW' /
  set-property property=removeAbandoned   
value=true  /
  set-property property=defaultAutoCommit 
value=false / 
  set-property property=defaultReadOnly   
value=false /
   set-property property=userName 
value=sa /
  set-property property=password
value=secret /
  /data-source
 
But, I always receive the follow error (in tomcat logs):

java.lang.NullPointerException

Re: How to use DBCP with Struts

Hello David!

How can I do that? I'm using DataSource dataSource =
servlet.findDataSource( poolName ) to obtain a datasource from connection
pool.

I only need to set the removeAbandoned to true. There is any way to do
this using struts?

 First, make sure you can create a BasicDataSource instance on your db
 without using Struts.  Then, configure the properties in
struts-config.xml.

 You create a BasicDataSource object the same way you create any other java
 object.  See the BasicDataSource javadoc for details.  Once you have
 successfully created the object for your database, then you can easily set
 it up in struts-config.xml.
