 Normally I agree. American Laagers are pretty much identical. I've been
 known to ask what is on tap, hear the list, and then order a pepsi.

 A Sam Adam's Double Bock however, and I am quite happy.

 I think Sam Adams at one point claimed to be the only American brewer
 who exported to Germany.

RadioButtons

2003-09-11 Thread Sloan Seaman
I've got an action that populates an ActionForm so that when a page is displayed, it 
is already filled in (think edit functionality).

But for some reason the radio buttons are not being checked.  I remember reading 
about this a while ago but can't remember why it is occurring.  Could someone fill me 
in on how to get this to work?

Thanks...

Re: How can i simply show a form property as a simple text

2003-09-03 Thread Sloan Seaman
I'm got almsot the same question.

I populate a form bean in an action and then display the page with the
populated form bean.

I want to use c:out to display one of the values in the form bean but I'm
not sure where to look for the value.

I have the action scope set to request and the bean name is bitmap_form, so
I figured:

c:out value=${requestScope.bitmap_form.FORMER_FILE_SRC}/

would do it... but it doesn't.

FORMER_FILE_SRC is the property of the form bean that I wish to display...

Any ideas?

Re: Bypassing Form Validation

2003-08-22 Thread Sloan Seaman
If you want to validation to be turned off in both javascript and server
side you ahve to use the  html:cancel tag

You will not be able to set the property for this tag because if you do,
struts won't know where to look to find the submittal to see if it should or
shouldn't do the server side validation.

Your onClick could will work fine for the javascript validation but you will
not need it if you use html:cancel because it will put that code in there
for you.

FormBean population

2003-08-20 Thread Sloan Seaman
I've got a form bean that is of type DynaValidatorForm.

In the past I had been using DynaActionForm and when I wanted to display a form with 
values already populated (from, say, a DB query) I would link to an action that would 
populate the formbean and then display then jsp page which would then have access to 
the form bean's values.

Now that I have switched over to DynaValidatorForm, when I call my action to populate 
the form bean it thinks it is a submit, does a validation check, and complains that 
the fields are empty (which they are at the time of the submit because the action to 
populate the form bean has not run yet).

I think I may be going about this the wrong way.

How does one populate a DynaValidatorForm bean so that a jsp page can display the 
values and not invoke the initial validation check?

This way the code doesn't even know it is happening...

You define one in your web.xml like so:

/filter



filter-mapping

Re: Session expired

2003-08-19 Thread Sloan Seaman
First off let me state that mine is a bit complicated since it gets some
config info from a static object   I stripped out what I could to make
it more simple...but the whole version of mine gets the redirect url and if
it is enabled or not from a static configuration object that is created via
a plugin that uses Digester

The example below is as simple as it gets.  If a session object does not
exist and the specific object within the session does not exist (in this
case, a user object defined by USER_OBJECT), it redirects to the index.jsp.

Otherwise it just lets the filter continue down the chain of filters(the
correct thing to do if the user is valid).

In writing your own you will prob. want to abstract the page to redirect to
as well as the object to look for in the session to make everything more
configurable

You could also go a step further and check the roles within the user object.
Though I do this on a per action basis within the struts-config.xml file via
a SecureAction object that I've created.  This allows for a lot of cool
tricks like cascading up the action chain to a point where the user finally
has proper access rights

anyway... here is the code:

import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

public class SessionFilter
 implements Filter
{

 private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(SessionFilter.class);
 private ServletContext context = null;

 /**
 * Initialize the SessionFilter with the FilterConfigurate from the
 * web.xml file
 *
 * @param _filterConfig The Filter Configuration
 */
 public void init(javax.servlet.FilterConfig _filterConfig) {
  context = _filterConfig.getServletContext();
 }

 /**
 * Called when the filter needs to be executed
 *
 * @param _request The ServletRequest
 * @param _response The ServletResponse
 * @param _chain The FilterChain
 */
 public void doFilter(ServletRequest _request, ServletResponse _response,
  FilterChain _chain)
  throws IOException, ServletException
 {
  String redirectFailure = /index.jsp;

 HttpSession session = ((HttpServletRequest)_request).getSession();

 // the object name to look for should be in the configuration...
 if ((session == null) || (session.getAttribute(USER_OBJECT)== null) )
{
  context.getRequestDispatcher(redirectFailure)
   .forward(_request,_response);
  log.debug(Access denied. Redirecting to +redirectFailure);
 }
 else {
  _chain.doFilter(_request, _response);
 }
 }

 /**

 public void destroy() {}

tiles and c:redirect

2003-07-30 Thread Sloan Seaman
I have a .jsp file that is inserted via the tiles:insert tag.

In this file is a c:redirect (much like the logic:redirect) tag that should do a 
redirection.

The redirection is not occurring.

I have checked the path, and even tested a blank page that did nothing but redirect 
and it still does not work.

Is this an issue with tiles?

DynaActionForm reset

2003-07-29 Thread Sloan Seaman
I have an action that used a form bean (suggestion_form).

When I go to my edit page, my code populates the bean and displays the page.  Works 
great.

If I go to my add page (which in the struts-config uses the same form bean) the page 
gets the values from the populated bean from the edit page even though my code that 
populates the bean was never called.

I'm guessing that somehow the reset() on the DynaActionForm is not being called even 
though the call to the add page is a new request and therefor the form bean still has 
the values that I set in it

What am I doing wrong???

Re: Why not to use Action chaining ?

2003-07-22 Thread Sloan Seaman
Though that is true, it can be avoid if you write your chainer properly.

You can have it Dechain and actually invoke a forward to the new action.

Also, you can write an Action that just invokes objects in a linked list
mannor and have each action called that way.

There are really lots of options for chaining

As stated in an email a week or so ago, I have a system that does all of the
above and more but I'm still trying to get permission from my company to

   Thanks Alen,
  
   Ted Husted (Struts in Action) says that the action chaining in the
dark
  side
   of Struts.
  
   The problem he mentioned is that
  
   when the second action is being invoked, the form is being
'repopulated'
   with the initial form values that the form had when it was passed to
the
   first action 
  
   Since I am new to struts, I am not able to grasp it clearly. You can
find
  the
   info related to this in Struts FAQ. I am just wondering what is the
  alternate
   solution.
 
  There are two alternatives to my knowledge:
 
  1) Refactoring Design:
  Put common functions into a separate class and then
  call the common functions from your action classes if you need.
 
  2) Controller Delegation Model:
  In one action class, you could find another action instance the
  same way as the RequestProcessor find it and then call the
  execute method on the action instance.
 
  The second way is very suitable for tools when designers could
  organize their actions without any overlap functions. The performance
  gain is apparent: no repopulated, no revalidated form beans.

Re: [OT] Workflow Proposal for Struts

2003-07-17 Thread Sloan Seaman
Jacob,

Can't you pull off workflow (to some degree) with action chaining?

Here is the system I have devised (this is part of a much larger
architecture that does a lot of other cool things like validation of struts
config files to ensure that specified actions have required forwards and
set-properties (nice for multi-developer env's)):

Here is an example I have in my struts config:
 action-mappings
  action path=/app/promoFlight/addChain
   className=com.symbol.mc.struts.wrapper.chain.ChainActionMapping
   type=com.symbol.mc.struts.wrapper.chain.ChainAction
   name=addForm
   
   set-property property=CHAIN_PROPERTY_NAME value=ACTION_POINT/
   set-property property=CHAIN value=Cancel:
/app/promoFlight/managePage/
   set-property property=CHAIN value=Create a List:
/app/promoFlight/storePage/
   set-property property=CHAIN value=Add Promotion Flight:
/app/promoFlight/add/
   forward name=PAGE_ACTION_FAILURE path=/app/promoFlight/addPage.do/
  /action

The .jsp/html page then has a submit button named ACTION_POINT.  This action
supports three different action points depending on thier value.

If Cancel, it goes to /app/promoFlight/managePage, and so on.

In case of an error in the ChainAction it uses PAGE_ACTION_FAILURE.

I can also set FORWARD_FAILURE_NAME which allows me to specify the name of a
forward that, if returned from one of the chained pages, will stop the
chain.

This exists because not only can I just redirect to a specific page, I can
do things like:
set-property property=CHAIN value=Cancel: /app/promoFlight/managePage,
/app/promoFlight/savePage, etc/

Is this what you are kinda looking for?

Re: [OT] Workflow Proposal for Struts

2003-07-17 Thread Sloan Seaman
I'm working on getting the OK from my company to release the code (as it was
developed for one of our projects).  I'll keep you posted but it shouldn't
take long.  They have let me release stuff before...


The validation piece is the core of another system I've developed that does
a lot more.  If you just want the validation piece that is cool as it is
designed to be its own entity.

The other system, ActionMCP (Master Control Program (think Tron, the movie))
adds to the validation system by supporting configurable resource chaining.

Say you are using JDO and you don't want to have to getPersistenceManager()
in every action.  At the same time, you also have multiple objects that you
want to fire off and if one of them fails you want to rollback everything.
The objects that fire off, and their order can be set within struts as well
as being wrapped by jdo like so:

action path=/test
   className=com.symbol.mc.struts.mcp.ActionMCPMapping
   type=com.symbol.mc.struts.mcp.ActionMCP
   name=jdoTestBean
   
   set-property property=ACTION_TYPE value=JDO, PROCESSOR/
   set-property property=ACTION_PROCESSOR
value=com.symbol.mc.oms.common.struts.action.DollarSpent/
   set-property property=ACTION_PROCESSOR
value=com.symbol.mc.oms.common.struts.action.SaveDollar/
   forward name=PAGE_ACTION_FAILURE path=/testMdx.jsp/
   forward name=PAGE_ACTION_SUCCESS path=/mdx.jsp/
/action

Doesn't show much really, but now, say I want the page to work only in a
secure env.

All you do is change ACTION_TYPE to:
set-property property=ACTION_TYPE value=SECURE, JDO, PROCESSOR/

objects in the list get wrapper by their predecessor.

Ok, so now you want to do Redirects (Something I have seen talked about a
lot in the forums but never really implemented ;))

Change ACTION_TYPE to:
set-property property=ACTION_TYPE value=SECURE, JDO, PROCESSOR, REMAP/
and add:
set-property property=MAPPED_FORWARD
value=PAGE_ACTION_SUCCESS:/app/test1:/app/test2/

This will take any request from /app/test1 and change the value of
PAGE_ACTION_SUCCESS to /app/test2 without having to change your Action's
code.

It does a lot of other things (Chaining, MDX, wait pages), but this email is
getting long...

  Jacob,
 
  Can't you pull off workflow (to some degree) with
  action chaining?
 
  Here is the system I have devised (this is part of a
  much larger
  architecture that does a lot of other cool things
  like validation of struts
  config files to ensure that specified actions have
  required forwards and
  set-properties (nice for multi-developer env's)):
 
  Here is an example I have in my struts config:
   action-mappings
action path=/app/promoFlight/addChain
 
 
 className=com.symbol.mc.struts.wrapper.chain.ChainActionMapping
 
 
 type=com.symbol.mc.struts.wrapper.chain.ChainAction
 name=addForm
 
 set-property property=CHAIN_PROPERTY_NAME
  value=ACTION_POINT/
 set-property property=CHAIN value=Cancel:
  /app/promoFlight/managePage/
 set-property property=CHAIN value=Create a
  List:
  /app/promoFlight/storePage/
 set-property property=CHAIN value=Add
  Promotion Flight:
  /app/promoFlight/add/
 forward name=PAGE_ACTION_FAILURE
  path=/app/promoFlight/addPage.do/
/action
 
  The .jsp/html page then has a submit button named
  ACTION_POINT.  This action
  supports three different action points depending on
  thier value.
 
  If Cancel, it goes to /app/promoFlight/managePage,
  and so on.
 
  In case of an error in the ChainAction it uses
  PAGE_ACTION_FAILURE.
 
  I can also set FORWARD_FAILURE_NAME which allows me
  to specify the name of a
  forward that, if returned from one of the chained
  pages, will stop the
  chain.
 
  This exists because not only can I just redirect to
  a specific page, I can
  do things like:
  set-property property=CHAIN value=Cancel:
  /app/promoFlight/managePage,
  /app/promoFlight/savePage, etc/
 
  Is this what you are kinda looking for?

2003-07-17 Thread Sloan Seaman
The Service and Call stuff looks like SOAP ;)  anyway...

My system works like so:
Replace ActionServlet with ActionMCPServlet so it can do all the validation
stuff at startup.
Use ActionMCP and ActionMCPMapping for the struts actions.
If you just want to do individual things (say, just JDO) there are JDOAction
wrappers that can be used independently of ActionMCP.

ActionMCP will also allow you to extend it and have your object get called
between the initialization and destroying of the services (which I called
wrappers for some reason *shrugs shoulders*).

To do this you implement ActionMCPWrapper which has init() and destroy()
methods.  This allows things like JDO transactions to span other wrappers.

It has cut my development time significantly.  Esp. since I added wrapper
event listeners.  This way anything that throws an exception can get caught
elsewhere.  So say you action does some JDO.  You don't need to have the
error catching in the action.  You register a listener (I have generic ones)
that will handle the error for you.  This way I can do things like graceful
degradation really easily

Anyway...  I'll see about getting this all on a website. I think it is very
useful and I am looking for suggestions

 I'm working on something similar for my company that works like ANT and is
 loaded via the ServiceLocator pattern.  It allows you to say for storing
an
 order, it is dependent on: validation, duplication check, and storage.
 Dependency mapping allows you to add some granularity to your tasks, and
 tasks (targets) are fired like the ServletFilter:

 public void invoke(Context context, TaskChain chain) throws Exception
 {
 ServiceRegistry sr = chain.getServiceRegistry();
 Service s = null;
 Call c = null;
 try
 {
 // do pre processing
 s = sr.createService(test);
 c = s.createCall(sampleTask);
 c.invoke(context);

 chain.invokeNext(context);

 // do post processing
 }
 catch (Exception e)
 {
 // do error handling
 }
 finally
 {
 s.close();
 c.close();
 }
 }

 I'm working on getting the OK from my company to release the code (as it
was
 developed for one of our projects).  I'll keep you posted but it shouldn't
 take long.  They have let me release stuff before...


 The validation piece is the core of another system I've developed that
does
 a lot more.  If you just want the validation piece that is cool as it is
 designed to be its own entity.

 The other system, ActionMCP (Master Control Program (think Tron, the
movie))
 adds to the validation system by supporting configurable resource
chaining.

 Say you are using JDO and you don't want to have to
getPersistenceManager()
 in every action.  At the same time, you also have multiple objects that
you
 want to fire off and if one of them fails you want to rollback everything.
 The objects that fire off, and their order can be set within struts as
well
 as being wrapped by jdo like so:

 action path=/test
className=com.symbol.mc.struts.mcp.ActionMCPMapping
type=com.symbol.mc.struts.mcp.ActionMCP
name=jdoTestBean

set-property property=ACTION_TYPE value=JDO, PROCESSOR/
set-property property=ACTION_PROCESSOR
 value=com.symbol.mc.oms.common.struts.action.DollarSpent/
set-property property=ACTION_PROCESSOR
 value=com.symbol.mc.oms.common.struts.action.SaveDollar/
forward name=PAGE_ACTION_FAILURE path=/testMdx.jsp/
forward name=PAGE_ACTION_SUCCESS path=/mdx.jsp/
 /action

 Doesn't show much really, but now, say I want the page to work only in a
 secure env.

 All you do is change ACTION_TYPE to:
 set-property property=ACTION_TYPE value=SECURE, JDO, PROCESSOR/

 objects in the list get wrapper by their predecessor.

 Ok, so now you want to do Redirects (Something I have seen talked about a
 lot in the forums but never really implemented ;))

 Change ACTION_TYPE to:
 set-property property=ACTION_TYPE value=SECURE, JDO, PROCESSOR,
REMAP/
 and add:
 set-property property=MAPPED_FORWARD
 value=PAGE_ACTION_SUCCESS:/app/test1:/app/test2/

 This will take any request from /app/test1 and change the value of
 PAGE_ACTION_SUCCESS to /app/test2 without having to change your Action's
 code.

 It does a lot of other things (Chaining, MDX, wait pages), but this email
is
 getting long...

Re: Best place for security checks in Struts?

2003-07-08 Thread Sloan Seaman
You could have a class that is an Action (say, named SecureAction) and then
have all of the actions in the struts file extend SecureAction and implement
a method called executeSecure() (not execute()!)

What then happens is your action in the Strust config (say, named ShowUser)
gets called by Struts but since it extends SecureAction, Struts calls
SecureAction's execute().  It then checks security and if it's good it calls
executeSecure() which is the method that ShowUser overwrote.

If the security doesn't pass, then SecureAction never calls executeSecure...
and there ya go.

You can then define the security on a per action basis by making your own
ActionMappping object and doing something like:
set-property property=ROLE value=ADMIN/

That is how I did it for a while and it worked great...

 The way I think of it is that there is a
 requestProcessor for each struts-config.  (You declare
 it here).  So if you have multiple modules, you could
 theoretically have a different processor for each one.

Subject: Nested tags : trying to get recursion to work


 I am trying to get recursive inclusion to work with
 the nested tags.

 Here is what I'm trying to do: I have a directory,
 which might have a bunch of files or more directories
 inside of it. Just like any regular directory
 structure. And I need to display all the directories
 and the files inside each.

 In main.jsp:
 
 nested:nest property=directory
 jsp:include page=recursiveDirectories.jsp /
 /nested:nest

 There is a bean in the request whose getter
 [getDirectory] method returns a directory.

 So, this should be fine.

 In recursiveDirectories.jsp
 
 nested:root
 readflag=[nested:write property=readFlag/]
 /nested:root

 The directory bean which is now passed to nested:root
 has a getReadFlag method. So this should work ?

 Or not ..  :-/

 I get a strange exception. It says Cannot find bean
 blank in any scope

 Please see end of this post for the exact exception.
 It says it can't find some bean, but no indication of
 what that might be ..

 Any help appreciated!

Nested Tag

2003-07-01 Thread Sloan Seaman
I'm trying to do a tree using the nested tags and I'm having some issues.

I've got a NodeBean (like the TreeBean in the monkey bean example) with the following:
 public NodeBean() {
  key=MonkeyTree;
  value=MonkeyTree;
  NodeBean n1 = new NodeBean(1, 1);
  NodeBean n2 = new NodeBean(2, 2);
  NodeBean n3 = new NodeBean(3, 3);
  NodeBean n4 = new NodeBean(4, 4);
  addChild(n1);
  n1.addChild(n3);
  addChild(n2);
  n2.addChild(n4);
 }

And my .jsp looks like:
nested:form action=/testTree2.do
 jsp:include page=treeNode.jsp/
/nested:form

and (treeNode.jsp):
nested:root
 DL
 nested:iterate property=children
  DDFONT size=-2
  nested:write property=ancestry
  /FONT
  nested:writeNesting/
   jsp:include page=treeNode.jsp/
  /DD
 /nested:iterate
 /DL
/nested:root

But the output I get is:
  1 children[0] 
3 children[0].children[0] 
  2 children[1] 
3 children[0].children[0] 

You can see that node 2 is showing a the child of node 1 when it should (as in the 
java code) clearly be node 4.

Can anyone help me as to why this is happenning?  Is it a bug in the nested tag?

 I think there may be a few issues here ...

 First of all, notEmpty, I believe, checks for whether or not a String
 value is set for a specific bean property (checks for null or empty
 String). So I don't think you can use if for a collection as a whole. The
 notPresent tag may be better suited to this, although that may just check
 to see if the collection is in existence, not necessarily populated with
 values. In other words, the collection can be empty, but it is still
 present. I think.

 Have you tried using your collection as the name for the bean, and using
 some field in the collection as the property? This brings it more down to
 the level of what notEmpty is used for.

 All my properties are set from my formbean within the action that loads
 the jsp. So in my case, I have a collection object in my form, with its
 getters and setters, and the action does the ...
 myform.setMyCollection(someCollectionFromSomewhere); ... then, if the
 collection is null, the notPresent tag in the jsp will do whatever you
 need it to do.

 You can use the bean:define tags to set your page scoped collection to a
 variable which will be useable within your jsp, but I am not sure if that
 is what you are looking for?

 I would think I should just be able to do:

 but this doesn't seem to work.

 What is the correct way?

You can also have imultiple files and then have ANT use a skeleton

Just use variable replacement in ANT to insert all the seperate files into

  @promotionTypes.pantryLoading.formbean
/form-beans

Here is the snipit from the build:
Notes: there may be a better way to do this, this was quick and dirty
Also, each individual developer has three files:
struts-action.xml
struts-formbean.xml
validation.xml

I use struts-action for the actions, struts-formbean for the formbeans, and
I also build the validation file so that is what validation.xml is for

 target name=struts.config.build
  echo message=Building struts-config.xml/
  delete file=${j2ee.struts}/  !-- struts-config.xml --
  !-- build the struts-config.xml --
  copy file=${j2ee.struts.skeleton}
   tofile=${j2ee.struts}/

  loadfile property=struts.config.core.action
   srcFile=${src.core}/${j2ee.struts.action}/
  loadfile property=struts.config.core.formbean
   srcFile=${src.core}/${j2ee.struts.formbean}/

   token=@core.action
   value=${struts.config.core.action}/
  replace file=${j2ee.struts}
   token=@core.formbean

You can chain them together...

Jacob Hookom and I had a discussion about this a while ago.

I wrote a ChainAction action that allows me to call multiple actions one
after another and pass the same form info to all or them, or change form
info along the way (to a minor extent)..

Check the archives for the postings

It allows me to do exactly what you are doing...

You can also look at the Struts chaining project (just search google) but I
think you have to implement proprietary executeChain() methods...

 has to run through all 3 pages, but when the user is editing his/her
 account, they can do it one page at a time.  This makes for a lot of
 different actions.

 /CreateAccount
 /RegisterMember
 /RegisterCompany
 /RegisterCompanyMeta

 /EditAccount
 /EditMember
 /EditCompany
 /EditCompanyMeta

 all with seperate Action classes or all combined in a
 DispatchAction?  I think it makes too much sense and now I am lost.

 Sorry for such a generic question, but does anyone have an idea for
 the path of least resistence given this scenario?

Subject: html:link ties the model to the view


Hi everyone,

I've been using Struts for a while, and I think it's the best thing since
servlets.

Today, though, I ran into a problem that when I tried to implement with
Struts, I found the solution to be rather dissappointing. Or maybe it's just
me, and I couldn't figure out the best way to do it.

I have a JSP that lists a number of elements, and beside each element,
there's a link to another page where the user can edit this element.

I use a model class to retrieve a Vector of instances from the class that
encapsulates that element.

I use the logic:iterate tag to iterate over this Vector and show the
elements. When I tried to implement the link that will point to the page
where the element can be edited, I found out that the html:link tag has a
strange way of getting the parameters to be appened to the link. If you want
to send more than one parameter then you need to provide a Map of the
parameter names and values.

Since I'm iterating over a collection, the only way to do that is to provide
this Map from the instances in this collection for every element. But that
would mean that my model (Class whose instance is in the Vector) has to know
the names of the request parameters I'm sending. Isn't that some sort of
coupling between the model and the web tier? Or am I missing something here?

I'll provide the code here to help explain my point...I've only included the
element in question.

logic:iterate id=element name=listSubcategoryForm
property=visibleCategories type=cannot reveal package
name.SubcategoryModel
trtdhtml:link name=element property=params
page=/editSubcategory.dohtml:img border=0
srcKey=img.edit//html:link/td
/tr
/logic:iterate

So, I need SubcategoryModel to implement a method called getParams() to
return a java.util.Map that contains the request parameters and their
values. That would essentially mean that SubcategoryModel knows the name of
the request parameters, which is not that good.

I don't have another way to do it. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

I need to have one of the Request Processing... Please wait type of things

If I was doing straight servlets I would write some javascript/dhtml stuff I

then do the rest of the processing and then again flush the output stream to
hide the Request Processing... stuff.

How can I pull something like this off in Struts?  Do I just grab the output

Just put a User bean in the session when the person logs on and then write

 This is a simple one, pardon the request for advice.

 In the specs for JDBCRealm it talks about a username column being in
 the users table and in the user_role table.  Does this mean that the
 username column has to be the primary key in the users table and not
 a user_id??  I thought it was bad design to make a text field a
 primary key since it means that it would have to be updated in two
 places if the user changed usernames, or are we sticking with the
 requirment that users can't change usernames or that it is an
 uncommon task?

Re: How do you keep your session junk free?

2003-03-07 Thread Sloan Seaman
I kinda have a class that does that if you want.

I have an Action called ChainAction that can call N number of actions in a
row and passes the same form and request info through all the actions.

The last action in the chain is then used to do a foward to whatever.

This is how I control all application flow via the struts-config file.

Example:
  action path=/app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/introAddChain
   className=com.symbol.mobilecommerce.analysis.struts.ChainActionMapping
 type=com.symbol.mobilecommerce.analysis.struts.ChainAction
   name=pantryLoadingIntro
   
   set-property property=ROLE value=admin/
   set-property property=PROPERTY_NAME value=action/
   set-property property=CHAIN value=Do Delete :
/app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/introSaveMessageAdd,
/app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/deleteBitmapAdd,
/app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/introAddPage/
   set-property property=CHAIN value=Add Bitmap :
/app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/introSaveMessageAdd,
/app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/addBitmapAdd,
/app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/introEditPage/
   set-property property=CHAIN value=Next:
/app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/introSaveMessageAdd,
/app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/messageTypeAddChain/
   forward name=PAGE_CHAIN_ERROR
path=/app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/introAddPage.do/
   forward name=PAGE_ACCESS_DENIED
path=/app/campaign/promotion/mainPage.do/
  /action

This action does security first (we have a custom system that does role
based security down to the action level).  If the user does not have access
it send them up the chain one step.  They continue up the chain till they
hit a point where they do have access.  This way we get them to ass deep as
they can go (get your mind out of the gutter). Anway..

The chains work by defining a PROPERTY_NAME that relates to an any element
in a form.  In this case, submit buttons.  If the user clicked Do Delete
it sends them to introSaveMessageAdd and then to deleteBitmap, and then to
the introAddPage.

This way my actions a very modular.

You can also do a DECHAIN which will run through the actions like normal but
the last one is treated as a seperate request and gets a new form and
request object (good for going from one form to another and not having bean
issues).

It also does other things like you can defined a message to put into the
session at the end of the chain, etc...

Anyway.. I can see if I can release the code if you want.

Re: How do you keep your session junk free?

#.  For example:  createEmployee_1, createEmployee_2, etc.
We would use the same rules as above, except we would always create a new
wizard bag in step one of the wizard (and drop the current one even if it
already exists).  We would also verify that the wizard bag with our current
wizard's logical name already exists in subsequent steps, and if it doesn't,
forward to an exception page (because this means we either lost the wizard
bag in the middle of the process due to another client browser's request (in
the same session), or we jumped into the middle of the wizard somehow - see
#2 above).  Having the step number may be useful for other purposes as well.

 Subject: Re: How do you keep your session junk free?


 I kinda have a class that does that if you want.

 I have an Action called ChainAction that can call N number of
 actions in a
 row and passes the same form and request info through all the actions.

 The last action in the chain is then used to do a foward to whatever.

 This is how I control all application flow via the struts-config file.

 Example:
   action
 path=/app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/introAddChain

 className=com.symbol.mobilecommerce.analysis.struts.ChainActi
 onMapping
  type=com.symbol.mobilecommerce.analysis.struts.ChainAction
name=pantryLoadingIntro

set-property property=ROLE value=admin/
set-property property=PROPERTY_NAME value=action/
set-property property=CHAIN value=Do Delete :
 /app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/introSaveMessageAdd,
 /app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/deleteBitmapAdd,
 /app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/introAddPage/
set-property property=CHAIN value=Add Bitmap :
 /app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/introSaveMessageAdd,
 /app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/addBitmapAdd,
 /app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/introEditPage/
set-property property=CHAIN value=Next:
 /app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/introSaveMessageAdd,
 /app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/messageTypeAddChain/
forward name=PAGE_CHAIN_ERROR
 path=/app/campaign/promotion/type/pantryLoading/introAddPage.do/
forward name=PAGE_ACCESS_DENIED
 path=/app/campaign/promotion/mainPage.do/
   /action

 This action does security first (we have a custom system that
 does role
 based security down to the action level).  If the user does
 not have access
 it send them up the chain one step.  They continue up the
 chain till they
 hit a point where they do have access.  This way we get them
 to ass deep as
 they can go (get your mind out of the gutter). Anway..

 The chains work by defining a PROPERTY_NAME that relates to
 an any element
 in a form.  In this case, submit buttons.  If the user
 clicked Do Delete
 it sends them to introSaveMessageAdd and then to
 deleteBitmap, and then to
 the introAddPage.

 This way my actions a very modular.

 You can also do a DECHAIN which will run through the actions
 like normal but
 the last one is treated as a seperate request and gets a new form and
 request object (good for going from one form to another and
 not having bean
 issues).

 It also does other things like you can defined a message to
 put into the
 session at the end of the chain, etc...

 Anyway.. I can see if I can release the code if you want.

Subject: Proper way to Link


 Hi all,
I have two action classes that used to handle separate forms that I
want
 to merge into one.
 Rather than delete one of the action classes I will just have the mappings
 for it go from the previous file to it.
So I have dummy handlers in the first file that does a return new
 ActionForward(/blah.do); to get to the second action.
 Just out of curiousity. Is this the proper way to link actions? Is there
a
 better way? I'm sure alot of people do this just to break up larger
actions
 to make it more managable but I can't find any references for this on the
 Struts site and via Google (Linking Struts Actions)
 Thanks.

I've got a form with tons of input fields as well as a form-bean specified
and an action for the path specified.

Everything looks fine.. that is why I can't figure out what is wrong.

What type of mis-configuraiton usually causes this issue?

Re: What does this erroe mean

From further debugging I found that if I use
pantryLoadingIntroChai

as the name of my form-bean and also as the attribute name in my action tag
it works fine.

If I use:
pantryLoadingIntroChain

it does not work.

The name is somehow clashing with another defined name of the same type
somewhere but I can't find it anywhere else...(that is my theory at least)

I'm just going to use a different name for now...

Thanks for the help

Multiple forms and javascript

I think this was discuess eariler but I can't seem to find the answer I
need.  Anyway...

I have two forms on one .jsp page and I wish to use javascript validation
for both of them.

The problem is that if I have two tags list so:
html:javascript formName=pantryLoadingAddBitmap/
html:javascript formName=pantryLoadingDeleteBitmap/

It birngs in multiple copies of the same javascript functions and I thinkt
hat is causing a javascript error I am getting (besides the fact that it is
bloating the page).

How do I get around this?

DynaValidatorActionForm

2003-02-27 Thread Sloan Seaman
I'm getting the hang of struts (very cool) but I'm not sure how I should be
doing the following.

I have your standard add/change/delete part of an application.

For the add part I have the following form bean defined:
form-bean name=appCampaignAdd
type=org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm
   form-property name=name type=java.lang.String/
   form-property name=description type=java.lang.String/
   form-property name=startDateMonth type=java.lang.String/
   form-property name=startDateDayOfMonth type=java.lang.String/
   form-property name=startDateYear type=java.lang.String/
   form-property name=endDateMonth type=java.lang.String/
   form-property name=endDateDayOfMonth type=java.lang.String/
   form-property name=endDateYear type=java.lang.String/
   form-property name=action type=java.lang.String/
  /form-bean

Here is my question:

For my edit page, how do I populate a bean for the edit page to use to
populate the fields?  From what I've been reading it seems like I don't ahve
to write a form class anymore because of the DynaActionForm stuff, but I'm a
bit confused.

So far all I ahve figured out is that to get to the edit page I will call
and action that will somehow populate something and then the jsp page will
be displayed and will be populated...

Help?

I want to define a action chain that will go through the various defined

Basically I have a parameter passed to a class that extends Action like so:
set-property property=Action value=Promo Mgmt : /app/campaign/add.do,
/app/campaign/promo/main.do/

and I want the class to call add.do and let it do its thing (without doing
whaterever it says to forward to) and then call main.do and let it do its
thing and use the returned forwarder.

I am doing this because I have a lot of forms tht have mutlipe submit
buttons and depending on the button pressed I want to do various sets of
actions.

In the example above the button value is Promo Mgmt and the chain of

Passing parameters to Actions

   parameter=admin
   
   forward name=PAGE_SRC path=/app/main.jsp/

/action

When I would rather do something like:
action path=/app/main

   forward name=PAGE_SRC path=/app/main.jsp/
   forward name=PAGE_ACCESS_DENIED path=/index.jsp/
   parameter name=ROLES_ALLOWED value=admin/
/action

Now,  I know there is a roles attribute but we are doing out own security
model and are not using request.isUserInRole().

(BTW: is there any way to write to whatever request.isUserInRole() used to

 It is done automagically upon startup of your application. When struts
 processes it's config (struts-config.xml) it generates ActionMapping
 instances for each action. When you specify your extended ActionMapping
in
 the className attribute of action struts will populate the related
 property or properties of that class. Your extended Action mapping must
have
 matching getter/setter properties that match you property= value (i.e.
 set-property property=aProperty value=aValue/ relates to public
 setAProperty(String aValue){};)

 One of the issues you might run into is that you cant easily change the
 properties during runtime. If you make role changes to the Action you will
 have to reboot the webapp. This is usually not a major deal.

  but it looks like the DTD only supports one parameter tag.
 
  I.E.:
  action path=/app/main
 type=com.symbol.mobilecommerce.analysis.actions.app.Main
 name=app.main
 parameter=admin
 
 forward name=PAGE_SRC path=/app/main.jsp/
 forward name=PAGE_ACCESS_DENIED path=/index.jsp/
  /action
 
  When I would rather do something like:
  action path=/app/main
 type=com.symbol.mobilecommerce.analysis.actions.app.Main
 name=app.main
 
 forward name=PAGE_SRC path=/app/main.jsp/
 forward name=PAGE_ACCESS_DENIED path=/index.jsp/
 parameter name=ROLES_ALLOWED value=admin/
  /action
 
  Now,  I know there is a roles attribute but we are doing out own
security
  model and are not using request.isUserInRole().
 
  (BTW: is there any way to write to whatever request.isUserInRole() used
to
  do its lookup so we can use it?)
 
  Is there any way to have parameters passed like how I would like?
 
  I could spoof forward to something like forward name=ROLES_ALLOWED
  path=admin/ but I would rather not.
 
  Thanks!

Nested tags

2003-02-25 Thread Sloan Seaman
I have the following in a jsp page:
TDhtml:checkbox name=retire value=core:out
value=${campaign.campaignId}///TD

The page blows up with a jsp.error.unterminated.tag error.

I'm guessing I have to use a nested tag to pull this off, but I don't know
how. Could someone help me out.

Here is the full block of code.  The campaign:list tag is a custom tag
that iterates and places the bean in the pageContext object.

  campaign:list id=campaign
  TR bgcolor=#CC
   TDcore:out value=${campaign.name}//TD
   TDhtml:link page=/app/campaign/promo/index.jspPromo
Mgmt/html:link/TD
   TDhtml:checkbox name=retire value=core:out
value=${campaign.campaignId}///TD
  /TR
  /campaign:list

Thanks!

 html:messages works a bit differently than html:errors in that it does not
 print out the collection containing your messages for you. You must do it
 manually between a begin and end tag. Using your example, you would have
to
 do the following:

 html:messages id=mdxquery property=success message=true
 %-- print out mdxquery, could also use bean:write --%
 c:out value=${mdxquery} /
 /html:messages

 Guys...

 Thanks for the info but it is still not working (I will work on it on
 Monday).

 Here is what I understand (becuase I'm feeling like an idiot right now).

 The property attribute looks like the right thing because the API docs for
 ActionMessages say the first parameter is for property.

 The message tag being set to true I also understand.

 The Id tag however... I don't know what to do (it is required). I have no
 Idea what to set it to.

 Here is (hopefully for the final time) my entire html and source code:

If you look at my HTML you will see that I accidentally had the initial

Using the html:message tag

2003-02-14 Thread Sloan Seaman
I want to display messages in my html when the action completes successfully
(think Query successfully processed type messages.)

I'm guessing I use the html:messages tag but it doesn't seem to be
working.

In my code I have:
  ActionMessages messages = new ActionMessages();
  messages.add(success, new ActionMessage(mdxquery.success));
  saveMessages(_request, messages);

And in my html I have:
html:messages id=success/

What am I doing wrong?
