Using SSL Extension and Workflow Extension together

[Scott Ryan]

I would like to use the Workflow extension and the SSL/Non SSL extension
together.  Is this possible?  It looks like they replace the capability of
the request processor and that they are mutually exclusive.  Is there a way
to use both?  I am using tiles to support my application.  I am able to get
them working one at a time but need to combine them together for some
applications.

Thanks

How to generate the document ,converting the xml files to html files.

[Ryan Zheng]

Hi, all

I have build the struts source code successfully by maven. But I don't know how to
generate the document.

What's the differences between the xdocs directory and docs directory. Both 
xml style struts documents.


Thank you !

Re: Cactus vs StrutsTestCase

[Ryan Zheng]

Hi, Ashikuzzaman！

I use StrutsTestCase to test my struts-based web tier action. Because 
StrutsTestCase
use mock object to mock the container. So you needn't start your container(tomcat or 
jboss)
to test your action class. It's a very fast way to test.
However, StrutsTestCase can not mock EJB call. So if your web application 
contains EJB
you should use cactus, which can start jboss automatically to test your code, or you 
use the MockEJB to mock your ejb call.

Re: java virtual machine crashed

[Ryan Zheng]

Hi, Otto, Frank！

I had even faced this problem. I think maybe it'srobably because of jdk1.4.2. 
Laterly

I found that it's because of your package reference conflict. But it can work well 
under
jdk1.4.1.So  after that I use jdk 1.4.1.

Re: Checkbox and Map ActionForm

[Ryan]

The array generated from selecting multiple checkboxes with the same 
name is not being passed as a whole value into the action form.  Instead 
only the first value is being set as the value.  I was wondering how you 
would get the whole array into the action form.

Thanks

Subject: Checkbox and Map ActionForm


I have checkboxes on my form that have multiple options/group.
The name for each group of checkboxes is generated from the database, so
I decided to use a map on my action form to collect the checkbox values
since the names of the checkbox are not known.
However, when more than one option is selected within a group, BeanUtils
turns the array passed from the checkbox into the first value of the
array.

For example, if for box1 1,3,4 are selected, box1's value in the map is 1.

Is there a way to collect the values submitted by a checkbox group
without knowing the name of this group beforehand?
Thanks
Ryan


The html form:


1
2
3
4
5

a
b
c



The action form

public class FooForm extends ActionForm {

private final Map values = new HashMap();

public void setValue(String key, Object value){
values.put(key, value);
}
public Object getValue(String key){
return values.get(key);
}
}

Array of values

[Ryan]

I used  "Struts Tip #6 - Use an array to capture multiple parameters" 
http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=915898 on my form to capture 
multiple parameters.

When I loop through these parameters and create an object for each row 
to add to an array list, the process gets expensive when there are many 
rows.

eg.

ArrayList rows = new ArrayList();

//rowParameter1, and rowParameter2 are arrays
//passed by the form
for (int i = 0; i:
}

Is there a way to avoid this new in the for loop?

Thanks

The action setupSampleForm puts the needed values into request scope in

repopulate the request scope beans. This is ok.
When PageTwo fails validation, the action setupSampleForm gets called 
when I want PageOneAction to be called in order to repopulate the beans 
needed by PageTwo.  I set the input to pageOneAction for pageTwoAction 
but this problem still occurs.
Is this occuring because pageOneAction also has an Action for an input?

Request variables and validation

[Ryan]

I am having trouble with request variables and validation.  Before a 
page is called, I prepopulate a combo box with values from a database. 
When validation (dynaforms validate) finds errors on the form the bean 
that prepopulated the combo box is not in the request scope anymore.

This was initially solved by placing the action that sets up the form as 
the input to the action that was called next. But, this fails when I 
move the setupAction to be part of the DispatchAction, which is involved 
with PageOne and PageTwo of my form, because then the input to the 
Action is the Action itself.  This results in constant calls to the same 
Action and no page being displayed.

Is there a way to acheive this or do I have to move my setup to a 
separate action?

Thanks
Ryan

PropertyMessageResourcesFactory ClassNotFoundException

Unfortunately I am stuck with Java 1.3.1 and Tomcat 3.2.3, so I can't
upgrade these tools. 

 

The Struts 1.1 site and docs claim to be Tomcat 3.2.* compatible. Hmmm. I
have searched far and wide for a solution, and although I have found folks
who have posted the same problem, I have yet to find an answer.

 

Out of curiosity I tried the Struts 1.0.2 "struts-example.war" and it works
fine.

 

Also, I have tried upgrading Tomcat's jaxp to 1.2, and it had no effect.

 

I'm hoping someone on this list might be able to help.

 

Thanks!

Adding id attributes to tags

[Ryan Shillington]

In order to test my application with HTTPUnit, I need
to be able to identify my links.  I can't figure out a
way to put an id inside of the link when using the
 tag.

I have a hard time believing that I'm the first to us
HTTPUnit with struts :-).  I've checked the archives
and couldn't come up with anything.  Anybody?

I'm using Struts 1.1

Thanks,

Ryan

Problem with html:message

[Ryan Cuprak]

 

Hello,

 While I have had no problems getting errors to display I am unable to
get messages displayed.

 

 In my jsp page I have the following:





<:write
name="message"/>







and in the action which loads this pages I have:

if ( !authenticate.authenticate(userID,password) ) {

if ( authenticate.isLocked() ) {

errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR,new
ActionError("login.locked"));

} else {

messages.add(ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE,new
ActionMessage("login.failure"));

}

saveErrors(request,errors);

saveMessages(request,messages);

return ( new ActionForward(mapping.getInput()));

 

Does anyone know why the html:message tag isn't displaying the messages?
The only time it will display a bullet (without any text) is if there is
an error (huh?). Otherwise my message never gets displayed. Resources
are setup properly as I am able to retrieve the 'login.failure' text via
bean:message.I am using the RC1.1 candidate. Is this a bug?

 

 Thanks,

  Ryan

 

 

 

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException and the '/'

[Ryan Cuprak]

Just curious as to how-to resolve the exception below-
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path main.jsp does not start with a "/"?
What is the reference to 'slash' mean? I have tried adding a slash before
'main' (name attribute) in the global forwards but get the same error. This
almost seems as voodoo to me - I understand using the slash to root it at
the 'root' of the webapp but every permutation of slash, no slash, slash
here there and everywhere doesn't rid me of the exception. In my case, the
validator is trying to redisplay the 'main.jsp' page as data for several
fields is invalid.


 Thanks,
   Ryan

multi page forms and action mappings

[Ryan Kennedy]

I'm using Struts 1.1 with the Validator plugin on a form with multiple steps.
Is there a way in the action mapping to have the "input" attribute of the
"action" be based upon which step the request is coming from? If I specify
input="step1", then form validation failures on step2 go back to the step1
page.

I didn't see anything in the Validator documentation or in the list archives,
but I can't imagine this is a new problem.

RE: Running example app on Websphere 4.0

[Owens, Ryan]

May not be related at all, but:

I'm not using Websphere (using Jboss with Tomcat) but I get that same error:
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4jFactory 

whenever I recompile my classes but don't restart JBoss/Tomcat.

once I restart them everything works fine.
So maybe try restarting Websphere. 
Hope that helps.

Yes, the struts.jar is only in that directory. The strange thing is that

RE: [OT] Which Object Relational mapping tool?

[Ryan Cuprak]

Neat tool which I was tinkering with recently was Jaxor:

 I put together a brief tutorial after using it, new project so the documentation

Pluggable Validation Not Being called, any ideas?

[Ryan Cornia]

I'm using Struts 1.1B2, and have tried to create a pluggable validator
similar to the example on Davids site.

In my validation-rules.xml I have -
 

Then in my validation.xml, I have -


   
   
   secondProperty
confirmPassword



When I run the application, the validation function is never called! (I
put system.out.println in it, and they are not executed.) The function
is -
   public static boolean validateTwoFieldsEqual(java.lang.Object bean,
  
org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction va,
   org.apache.commons.validator.Field
field,
   ActionErrors errors,
  
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)
{   
System.out.println("In Here!");
String value = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,
field.getProperty());
String sProperty2 = field.getVarValue("secondProperty");
String value2 = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,
sProperty2);

if (!GenericValidator.isBlankOrNull(value)) {
try {
if (!value.equals(value2)) {
errors.add(field.getKey(),
StrutsValidatorUtil.getActionError(request, va,  field));

return false;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
errors.add(field.getKey(),
StrutsValidatorUtil.getActionError(request, va, field));
return false;
}
}

return true;
}

Any ideas how to get the validation function called? Do I need to
"register" it somewhere to get it to work?

Confused about log4j error message

[Ryan Olson]

Hi,

My apologies if this is a FAQ, but I haven't turned up anything on Google and 
it looks like the mailing list archive search is broken (keeps saying "Text 
search is not available for this list").

I'm using Struts 1.1b and Tomcat 4.0.4. The first thing on stdout when I start 
up my struts application is

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger 
(org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

Now, I've read lots of documentation and book chapters on using log4j and I 
can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've got a commons-logging.properties 
file with the entry org.apache.commons.logging.Log= 
org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JCategoryLog. I've got a log4j.properties 
file in WEB-INF/classes copied from the simple configuration in Chuck 
Cavaness' Struts book, which is supposed to direct everything to the console:

log4j.rootlogger=INFO, stdout
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p [%t] (%F:%L) - %m%n

I have the log4j and commons-logging jars in my WEB-INF/lib directory.

What happens is that I get the warnings described above, and none of my log 
messages, created with log.error(), are visible. I'm 99% sure that my use of 
commons-logging is not the problem, since I do see log messages when I use 
the JDK 1.4 logging instead.

Any ideas? Thanks

RE: [slightly OT] Time zone strategies

[Ryan Olson]

Well, that's the approach I'd taken originally, but I found two problems with 
it:

1) I didn't like how that approach mixes the presentation layer into the 
business layer (ie, my data access objects shouldn't care what timezone the 
user is in)

2) I don't necessarily know ahead of time (ie, when fetching the data) what 
timezone the user is in

What I'm aiming for is a solution that does all the timezone manipulation on 
the presentation/view layer so that my business objects don't have to worry 
about it. At least, I think that's what would make the most sense...

Thanks

Hi all,

Although this problem isn't necessarily unique to struts, it's certainly 
something that many of you may have come across in building struts 
applications. I'm writing a CRUD-type app to manage news articles which will 
support users in various time zones. Individual articles have date/time 
stamps which are normalized to the server reference timezone as they are 
stored in the model layer. However, each user should see and modify the dates 
in his/her own timezone on the presentation layer, optionally specifying 
alternate timezones if desired.

Bypassing validation in ActionForm for certain LookupDispatchAction modes

[Ryan Olson]

Hi,

I have a LookupDispatchAction which performs add, update, and delete 
operations based on an incoming ActionForm. I have a validate() method in the 
ActionForm since I need to validate input for the update and add operations, 
but I want to bypass that method in the case of the delete action (ie I don't 
want the user to be stopped from deleting a record that they may have made 
changes to and doesn't presently contain valid data).

Based on the list archives it looks like the way to do this is to add a check 
to the validate() method, like this:

String dispatchParam = mapping.getParameter();
String dispatchActionMode = request.getParameter(dispatchParam);

Since I'm using LookupDispatchAction I want to compare the value of 
dispatchActionMode with the button label as defined in my 
ApplicationResources properties file ("button.label.delete") in this case. 
However, I haven't been able to figure out how to get at that value from 
within my ActionForm. (Actually, I'd rather look up the value in the Map 
returned by getKeyMethodMap() in the LookupDispatchAction, but it's neither 
public nor static.) 

I'm also open to other suggestions as to how to go about doing this.

Thanks

[slightly OT] Time zone strategies

[Ryan Olson]

Hi all,

Although this problem isn't necessarily unique to struts, it's certainly 
something that many of you may have come across in building struts 
applications. I'm writing a CRUD-type app to manage news articles which will 
support users in various time zones. Individual articles have date/time 
stamps which are normalized to the server reference timezone as they are 
stored in the model layer. However, each user should see and modify the dates 
in his/her own timezone on the presentation layer, optionally specifying 
alternate timezones if desired.

My current approach is the following (bear with me):

- business layer object ArticleBO contains a Date field populated from db with 
ResultSet.getDate()
- view layer ActionForm ArticleForm contains a Date object (internalDate) as 
well as String fields for date and time; internalDate is prepopulated from 
ArticleBO for view/edit actions
- Article JSP contains two text fields for date and time strings, which are 
not themselves prepopulated from the ArticleForm, but rather filled in as the 
page loads via JavaScripts which use internalDate.getTime() to create a 
localized JavaScript Date object and corresponding date/time strings for the 
form
- ArticleForm also contains a hidden field clientTimezoneOffset that is 
populated by JavaScript as (new Date()).getTimezoneOffset(), which is the 
client's GMT offset in minutes
- ArticleForm returns to my add/edit/whatever Action after validation, at 
which point the date/time strings are converted back to a Date object using a 
SimpleDateFormat. The SimpleDateFormat is set to the client's timezone using 
the offset information in the clientTimezoneOffset field. This is tricky 
because 
1. JavaScript-supplied values are the negative of what Java expects -- for 
example, California comes out as +8 (+7 DST) instead of -0800 (-0700 DST)
2. Since the offset value is adjusted for DST according to the local time on 
the client, the retrieval method must un-adjust it accordingly when setting 
the raw offset of the resulting TimeZone (which is DST-neutral)
- ArticleBO populated from ArticleForm now holds a Date object in the server's 
timezone

It took me awhile to figure that all out, and it seems to work well based on 
the testing I've done by setting the test lab machines' clocks/timezones 
every which way. It's an awfully convoluted process, though, and I don't like 
to rely on JavaScript. 

Has anyone else come up with a better solution? 

Thanks

LookupDispatchAction and unspecified method

[Ryan Olson]

Hi,

I recently started using Struts after having done it the hard way in several 
past applications. Great stuff.

I've searched the list archives on this but haven't really come up with a 
satisfactory answer. Basically I'm wondering about the functionality of the 
unspecified(...) method in LookupDispatchAction, as inherited from 
DispatchAction. The javadocs on this method indicate that it is what gets 
called in the event that there is no value for the request param that 
control's the action's behavior. Since I've got an  tag in my 
form, I was expecting the unspecified(...) method of the target 
LookupDispatchAction to get called when the cancel button gets pressed, but 
instead I'm getting an exception indicating that the request param is 
missing. I tried specifying the "parameter" attribute of the html:cancel tag, 
but that left me with a NullPointerException, and besides, that wouldn't seem 
like the proper solution since as the docs point out, using that attribute 
breaks the Action.isCancelled() method.

I've seen a couple people post the solution of overriding 
LookupDispatchAction.execute(), which makes sense, but it seems like there 
ought to be a cleaner solution (via the unspecified(...) method, I should 
think).

Am I going about this all wrong?

Thanks

jar in tomcats common/lib directory, and the log4j properties file in
tomcats common/classes directory. This set the same logging properties
for all of my struts 1.1B1 applications, and was set to only log WARN or
above, not INFO messages.

I took one application and updated it to Struts 1.1B2 and re-deployed,
and now all of the INFO messages for that application are displayed. How
do I removed them? B2 is apparently not using tomcats global log4j
configuration

Thanks,
Ryan

RE: problem with client-side validation and ValidatorActionForm

[Ryan Bell]

Yes, that's true and it solves my problem.  Thanks for pointing that out.

On a side note, is there any advantage to referencing the action path when using 
validator versus using the form-bean and setting validate to false in the config file?

Regardless of whether it's referenced by form-bean name or action path,
wouldn't it only validate if you've got validate=true set in your  ?
Therefore allowing you to only validate on a specific action...

I misread your configurations.  Upon further review, it looks like
you are putting the action instead of the form name in your validation

RE: problem with client-side validation and ValidatorActionForm

[Ryan Bell]

If I pull the "/" out of the validation file and jsp then the server side validation 
stops working.  If I pull it out of the jsp only it doesn't build the javascript 
properly (doesn't match the validation.xml anymore).  Did you have to change your 
struts config file at all?

Is it necessary to have /validateContactInfo in validation.xml and your
jsp?
(I am doing client/server validation and leave out the "/" and it works
fine)

problem with client-side validation and ValidatorActionForm

[Ryan Bell]

Is there any way I can do both client and server side validation using 
ValidatorActionForms without setting up two 'forms' in my validation xml?
I'm having a problem doing client-side validation because all my action mappings start 
with '/' and it's causing the generated javascript function to have a name like 
'validate/xxx' which, as far as I know is not valid syntax.  Here's an example of my 
setup:

struts-config.xml:
...

  

...

validation.xml:
...
  

  
  
  

  


The javascript output when I add  to 
my jsp starts out like this:

Serialization question...

[Ryan Cornia]

In my web application, I have all of my forms declared as -
 
public final class  extends
org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorForm implements Serializable { }
 
In my tomcat 4.1.12 logs, however, I keep getting errors -
 
"Cannot serialize session attribute "
 
Do I need to write a serialization function for each form? I assumed
this was taken care of in org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorForm. 
 
Thanks,
Ryan
 

Re: Single sign on?

[Ryan Cornia]

There are a couple of things I recommend. 
 
First, any time the cookie is sent in a request/response, we send it
over SSL. That should, in theory, prevent network snooping to get the
cookie. SSL does add some overhead, but performance wise we have not had
any issues.
 
Secondly, you can put a "validated" time stamp in the cookie. So, when
the user is authenticated, or the authentication cookie is checked, this
time stamp is updated to current time. If you go to check the
authentication cookie and the time stamp is > 30 (or 10, 60, whatever)
minutes old, you force them to re-login. Effectively making the cookie
token only valid for 30 minutes. You could also put in requesters IP
address to make sure the cookie is only valid from the PC the session
was created on.
 
This was just a home grown solution for us, I appreciate any
feedback/comments.
Ryan

How do you prevent "replay" attacks? Where someone simply steals the 
cookie and uses it another time.

Re: Single sign on?

[Ryan Cornia]

What I do is encrypt a domain level session cookie. Then, in all my apps
I can check for/decrypt the cookie to know if the user is logged in, and
who the user is. (I put username/email in the cookie, but you could put
whatever information you want.) I encrypt it so that its more secure and
can't be "faked".
 
This has worked well for me, with about 5 web apps using the system. It
is also nice, because if you use a domain level cookie, you can do
single sign-on across servers.

This is not *purely* a struts question...

No issues so far.

Each webapp has got its own login scheme.

Re: Error message - not sure of meaning or significance.

[Ryan Cuprak]

Ok,
  I pegged down the problem, the tile I was referencing was 
'loginBody.jsp' whereas the tiles:put used "LoginBody.jsp". Normally, I 
try to avoid mismatch in case (cause of linux/unix platforms except 
MacOS X). What's interesting, is that this did not crop up until I  
tried running my code on XP as opposed to MacOS X (which I had been) - 
weird (I did grab a new copy of the struts 1.1 beta... )
  I did wrap the tiles:put in a try catch - evidently however things are 
being done internally my try/catch never catches the servlet exception.
-Ryan
As for exception traces/system.outs - I use them all of the time 
although I have begun moving towards log4j. I can't wait for Apple to 
release the 1.4 so I have that built-in logging.

Error message - not sure of meaning or significance.

Hello,
Just curious if anyone knows what these errors are:

returnNull=true

09:30:24,658 ERROR [STDERR] [INFO] PropertyMessageResources - 
-Initializing, config='org.apache.struts.taglib.html.LocalStrings',

  BTW: How do I get exception traces for servlet errors. I am trying to 
track down a "servlet exception" in one of my tiles - all I get on the 
page is a "servlet exception and the path to the tile (jsp page). 
Looking through the logs in jboss I don't see any exception trace. I am 
not sure if the above error is related.

Thanks,
-Ryan

Well, I have wrapped the offending page in a try catch with 
system.out.print but I still get the same darn exception and no output 
from my system.outs. So, back to digging... Those entries on standard 
error in the email are new though... (I think)
