Using SSL Extension and Workflow Extension together
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 Scott D. Ryan Director, J2EE Architecture and Development Soaring Eagle LLC. 9742 S.

Support of wrap parameter in textarea jsp tag
I noticed that the wrap parameter is not supported in the textarea jsp tag in html tags. This parameter allows the text to wrap within the text area. Is this an oversight or is there another way to accomplish this. Thanks Scott Ryan Developer First Bank Data Corporation Work: (303) 235-1485 Cell:(303 263-3044
Re: Struts capability to support file downloads
On Netscape everything works as expected if I set the MIME type to
application/rtf but still doesn't work on Internet Explorer 5.0. This
leads me to think it is the selection of my MIME type. Basically I am
trying to download plain text.
I only get one prompt box on Netscape by the way.
Any ideas on the proper MIME type or why Internet Explorer is confused
other than it is from Microsoft.
Thanks

The technique appears to work but after the download I want to forward to another page and it appears that if you return a forward to struts it has a problem because you have already used the response.

Struts capability to support file downloads
I noticed there is support in struts to allow a person to load a file from their local station to the server. Is there support to go the other direction? I have an application that allows the user to download data to a file on their local system. I would like to create the data on the server and then pop up a window to allow the user to select a location to store the data on their box. I would then stream the data to that file on their system. Any suggestions would be appreciated or pointers to other sites that might discuss this.

RE: Support of Struts in IBM Websphere 4.0
Chris,
Now I am confused. I am trying to get away from having to use a
modified struts jar. The reason the jar needs to be modified is because
IBM has a problem with their implementation of Jasper. I saw in an
email on this forum that IBM had comitted to fix this problem but did
not commit to a timeframe. I would like to be able to use the latest
struts build without having to modify the code because the modification
causes other problems.

Re: Adding struts indexed tag capability to the select tag
Sorry I guess I phrased my question incorrectly. Here is a more complete description of what I am seeing. I believe the support I actually need is in the Options tag itself. I have a list of options that are presented for each row. When I select an option it comes through on the correct element of the collection so indexing works ok here. The problem is that if I encounter a valdation error when I try to present the page again my vector containing the options is empty since it was not stored in the request. Is there a way for the option list itself to be put into the request and therefore passed in the form? This would have to be based on the index as well I thought about storing them all as hidden fields but that seemed a little wasteful but should work. Thanks again for the indexed tags they are extremely useful.

What about this little gem? Not sure if it works, but it looks sound:

for more control of valid characters you could use [...]

^(.*[a-zA-Z].*[0-9].*|.*[0-9].*[a-zA-Z].*){6,8}$
Let me know if it works.

Re: Struts w/JBuilder 5
We have gotten Struts to work under Jbuilder 5. We had a problem getting Tomcat to see our classes and the application resources file. We jury rigged it by adding the web-inf class path to the tomcat configuration. This is probably not the correct solution but we have not had time to go back and fix it correctly. The process was to 1) Select project properties 2) Select the servers tab 3) Select setup for the Tomcat server 4) Add the path to your classes to the Tomcat server In our case it was defaultroot/WEB-INF/classes 5) We then placed the ApplicationResources.properties in a path within that classpath and we told jbuilder to copy all the classes when rebuilding. I am sure this is not the correct solution but it did get us up and running. Once it is up the integration is great for debugging.

All appears to work ok if I use the standard struts errors tags to present the errors on the page. However if I use the tags that come with the validator i get the following exception only when processing errors that I created: Error: 500 Location: /EnrollmentCapture.jspInternal Servlet Error:javax.servlet.ServletException at org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.handlePageException(PageContextImpl.java:459) at _0002fEnrollmentCapture_0002ejspEnrollmentCapture_jsp_2._jspService(_0002fEnrollmentCapture_0002ejspEnrollmentCapture_jsp_2.java:1941) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:119) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.service(JspServlet.java:177) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:318) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:391) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.doService(ServletWrapper.java:404) at org.apache.tomcat.core.Handler.service(Handler.java:286) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.service(ServletWrapper.java:372) at org.apache.tomcat.facade.RequestDispatcherImpl.forward(RequestDispatcherImpl.java:194) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.processValidate(ActionServlet.java:2137) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1564) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doPost(ActionServlet.java:509) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:760) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.doService(ServletWrapper.java:404) at org.apache.tomcat.core.Handler.service(Handler.java:286) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.service(ServletWrapper.java:372) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.internalService(ContextManager.java:797) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.service(ContextManager.java:743) at org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler.processConnection(HttpConnectionHandler.java:210) at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:416) at org.apache.tomcat.util.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:498) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) Root cause: java.lang.NullPointerException at java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:380) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.setAttribute(PageContextImpl.java:251) at com.wintecinc.struts.taglib.html.ErrorsTag.doAfterBody(ErrorsTag.java:296) at _0002fEnrollmentCapture_0002ejspEnrollmentCapture_jsp_2._jspService(_0002fEnrollmentCapture_0002ejspEnrollmentCapture_jsp_2.java:443) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:119) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.service(JspServlet.java:177) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:318) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:391) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.doService(ServletWrapper.java:404) at org.apache.tomcat.core.Handler.service(Handler.java:286) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.service(ServletWrapper.java:372) at org.apache.tomcat.facade.RequestDispatcherImpl.forward(RequestDispatcherImpl.java:194) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.processValidate(ActionServlet.java:2137) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1564) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doPost(ActionServlet.java:509) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:760) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.doService(ServletWrapper.java:404) at org.apache.tomcat.co
Trying to add errors to an existing errors object after using the validation framework
the additional errors but it
looks very straightforward.
Here are the tags I am putting in my JSP page:
Here is a sample of how I am creating my error
errors.add("password",new
ActionError("enrollmentform.error.password.maskmsg"));
Any tips would be appreciated.

Re: Server Side Validation not firing for Validator when Java Script is off
David, Thanks for the great framework for validation. I have found it extremely useful and am glad to hear it is becoming part of struts in the future. I am working on some deployment and maintenance issues and wondered if you had any suggestions based on your input below. There are two issues: 1 First is keeping the xml files small and isolated for ease of maintenance. I was wondering about creating a file called validators.xml that includes all the validators that I am using in a project (Validator definitions and maybe the javascript to go with it.) I would then create a file for each form that I am validating that contains the validation rules for each field. I could then create a validation.xml file that included all the above files (Validator.xml and several formvalidation.xml files). That would allow us to work on validation rules for a set of forms independent of the other forms. Is this overkill? How do you actually do an xml include? 2-- We have several non-struts applications and several separate isolated struts applications. We have one common javascript validation library that is used for all projects. If for example we had 2-nonstruts apps and 3 struts apps we would have to deploy 4 copies of the same javascript code. One for the non-struts apps and 3 for the struts apps since each struts app has a validation.xml file containing the javascript as part of the file. The scenario listed above would reduce the duplication to 2 since we would now need one javascript library for the non-struts apps and one validator.xml file for the struts applications. I sure would like to reduce that duplication to one. It seems that the static and dynamic jsp references might do the trick but I must admit I really don't understand it fully yet. Also we don't have jsp support for all of the applications we deploy so it might present a packaging problem as well. I would appreciate anyone's input on this issue. I am just trying to reduce maint and support costs in the future as we deploy more and more solutions that are struts based.

Re: Server Side Validation not firing for Validator when Java Script is off
Yes the javascript is being generated. I think the problem is that I used the validation.xml that comes with the latest release or your validator and some of it appears to not be compatible with Netscape version I am testing with. Java script has the great benefit of failing but not indicating where the problem is. I stripped out all but the required and mask code and it works. I can now go through function by funtion and see which one is incompatible. Is there any stratgy that would allow you to reference javascript that is in a library so that we could use some of the current javascript libraries we have today with out copying the code into the validation.xml. My next challenge is to get the generated validation to work with the formatting javascript I currently have on the page. This is currently causing some issues. Thanks for the help.

Re: Server Side Validation not firing for Validator when Java Script is off
I have now converted to the latest version of the Validator and that
caused the server side validation to start working
but not the javascript client side doesn't work. It goes straight to
the server validation. I double checked everything
mentioned in the documentation and in the previous messages in this
list and everything appears ok. The only things
I think I need is the onsubmit addition and the javascript validator
tag.
Any more suggestions.

Re: Server Side Validation not firing for Validator when Java Script is off
I located the problem. It was a combination of two things.
1) The names in my form and the validation tag did not match. I had
two of them matching but all three needed to match.
2) I was using the .5 build which has an imcomplete validation.xml file
and the format has changed since that build.
Once question I have for those developing enterprise applications is
how to managed the validation.xml file. It seems that is contains
application specific information as well as enterprise specific
information.
It seems that the file contains javascript validation code which could
be used throughout the enterprise on a number of applications. It also
contains validation rules specific to the application that you are
deploying. It seems that you either have to duplicate the javascript
code to deploy in multiple validation.xml files or you have to include
the validation rules for all applications in every validation.xml file.
I realize you can cut and paste but this opens up possibilities for
making mistakes.
Has anyone come up with a way to package the inline javascript so it
can be used in multiple validation.xml files and you only have to change
one file to add additional javascript functions.

Re: Server Side Validation not firing for Validator when Java Script is off
Yes I am extending ValidatorForm instead of ActionForm. Did you mean ValidateForm or ValidatorForm. I originally commented out the validate method that I had but after nothing happened I tried creating a validate method that only called super.validate with the proper attributes but it returned an empty errors object. It almost appears that I have missed a flag somewhere. It was easy to get the client side to work but unlike the rest of the user's I am having a problem getting the server side to fire correctly. I am going to try and remove the onsubmit from my jsp and see if the server side will fire then. Thanks for your suggestions.
