RE: Does instanceof work?

[Steve Raeburn]

An instanceOf tag does exist in the Jakarta Taglibs 'Unstandard' taglib.

http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/sandbox/doc/unstandard-doc/intro.html

That's the only place I know of.

RE: Solved super.init() dies silently after migration from struts 1.0 to struts 1.1

[Steve Raeburn]

You should really take a look at the Ant  task.
http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html - look under Ant Tasks/Optional
tasks. It's free and it will allow you to validate your XML files as
part of the build process.

Alternatively, use an editor that will validate the files for you as you
go. I'm sure if you take a look around there are options for IDEs and
standalone editors.

RE: "A Walking Tour of the Struts Example Application" does not match the code!

[Steve Raeburn]

Unfortunately, this documention *is* out of date with the sample
application.
It has been noted as something that needs to be done but no-one's found
time to do it yet.

The tutorials page
(http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/resources/tutorials.html) lists some
alternatives.
Rick Reumann's tutorial is worth a look.

While I agree that it's not worth *learning* Struts for such a small app, if
you already know Struts then it's no hassle to use it in a small
application. Even for a simple one page form, you can utilize i18n, form
population and validation features of Struts.

Though it's not worth learning Struts just for a 5 page app, that would be a
good place to cut your teeth if you plan to continue to use Struts on a
larger scale.

And 5 page apps have a habit of growing into 10 page apps which have a habit
of growing into 20 page apps... ;-)

RE: Off Topic: A suitable JVM could not be found

[Steve Raeburn]

I can't find the details right now, but I have a vague recollection that the
IBM JDK includes an RMI-IIOP implementation that is a requirement for
Websphere. So you won't be able to switch to a non-IBM JDK.

If you're running just about anything except Windows, you may be able to use
an updated IBM JDK (http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/).
IBM has not separately released its 1.4 version for Windows, though it is
available bundled with products like MQ Series (sorry, Websphere MQ -
marketing dept strikes again).

I don't have any information on whether it's *advisable* to change the JDK
on Websphere, since it doesn't seem to be supported. Personally, I wouldn't
risk it in a production environment.

RE: Keep Them In the Database Or In the Properties File?

[Steve Raeburn]

Either will work. One thing to consider is who will maintain the data.

If developers will create / maintain the lists and the data is essentially
static, then properties files would be a good bet.
If end users maintain the data, then a database and suitable user interface
may be better.

US States are unlikely to ever change so a properties file is a good bet.
Bizarrely, countries tend to change more frequently so you might want to
have those in a database where they could be more easily maintained,
depending on how up to date you need to be.

RE: Help with form bean [urgent]

[Steve Raeburn]

If you've set the Map up in you Action, something like this:
Map countries = new HashMap();
countries.put("AF", "Afghanistan");
countries.put("AL", "Albania");
countries.put("DZ", "Algeria");
countries.put("AS", "American Samoa");
countries.put("AD", "Andorra");
countries.put("AO", "Angola");
countries.put("AI", "Anguilla");
countries.put("AQ", "Antarctica");
request.setAttribute("countries", countries);

You can generate the list in your JSP using:
  

  

'countryId' is the name of the property in your ActionForm
'countries' is the request scope attribute name where you stored the Map.

You would probably want to load the list from a properties file or database
and since these values don't change very often, you could do this once at
startup and place the Map in application scope rather than in the request.

To generate checkboxes, use something like this:

  

  


  

Your form property must be a String array to receive multiple values.

Steve

p.s. Please don't put 'urgent' in your subject line. It may not achieve the
effects you desire ;-)

RE: Trimming the extra spaces in the output page

[Steve Raeburn]

I agree with the Filter suggestion, but I would take a step back and ask
whether you *really* need to do this.

Trimming the excess whitespace won't really make much difference to the size
of the downloaded page and adding the Filter processing could even make it
slower, not faster to load.

If you're really producing pages that are too large I would first consider
the following optimizations before worrying about trimming whitespace:

 - Reduce the number and size of images in the page
 - Convert the page layout to use CSS instead of nested tables (this alone
can reduce the page weight by as much as 50%)
 - Split the page into smaller, lighter pages.

RE: [Article] SoftwareFashion (includes paragraph about Struts)

[Steve Raeburn]

Adam,
I assumed it was tongue-in-cheek ;-)

Greg,

I wasn't commenting on people who are trying to understand the MVC pattern
and Struts, but authors who claim to be experts in the field and who should
be *very* familiar with the Model1/Model2 debate and how Struts addresses
the problem. From that perspective, the discussion about *whether* to use an
MVC framework is old news. I think an article discussing the pros and cons
of the various approaches to MVC would have been more valuable. It was a
negative article that invited a negative response.

If you're still on that learning curve then I wouldn't expect you to
immediately understand the benefits of Struts and I'm sure you'll get plenty
of advice on this list.

Here's a few links that might help:

RE: [Article] SoftwareFashion (includes paragraph about Struts)

[Steve Raeburn]

'In fact, we'd particularly invite Struts advocates to respond to this
article by describing the benefits that they feel Struts provides over
"vanilla" JSP.'

Well if they don't get what Struts provides over "vanilla" JSP, then they
never will. Discussing what Struts provides compared to other MVC frameworks
might be useful, but the "vanilla" JSP topic is surely dead and buried by
now.

I guess it's a sign of success when people who obviously know nothing about
Struts start taking swipes at it :-)

RE: setting application context

[Steve Raeburn]

If you have a Servlet 2.3 compatible container (e.g. Tomcat 4.x or later)
you can implement a ServletContextListener which will be notified when your
context is started and gives you access to the ServletContext.

  ...
  import javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent;
  import javax.servlet.ServletContextListener;

  public class StartUpListener implements ServletContextListener {

public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent evt) {
MyBean bean = new MyBean();
evt.getServletContext().setAttribute("MyKey", bean);
}

public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent evt) {
// Whatever shutdown processing you need goes here.
}
  }

Listeners are configured in web.xml:
  
myapp.StartUpListener
  


Another way that is Struts specific but also works with Servlet 2.2
containers is to implement a PlugIn.

  ...
  import org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet;
  import org.apache.struts.action.PlugIn;
  import org.apache.struts.config.ModuleConfig;

  public class MyPlugIn implements PlugIn {

public void init(ActionServlet servlet, ModuleConfig config)
throws ServletException {
MyBean bean = new MyBean();
servlet.getServletContext().setAttribute("MyKey", bean);
}

public void destroy() {
// Whatever shutdown processing you need goes here.
}
  }

A PlugIn is configured  at the end of your struts configuration file
(struts-config.xml) See the Struts example webapp for a demonstration of
plugins:

  ...
  


Finally, you could create a Servlet that runs automatically at start up and
set-up any ServletContext attributes in it's init() method.

My preference is to use a ServletContextListener if possible, or a PlugIn.

RE: [OT] International telephone number formatter component????

[Steve Raeburn]

Disclaimer: The following represents my personal experience - I'm not a
phone number expert :-)

As an example of the problem, the Oftel website (www.oftel.gov.uk) lists the
following *recommended* formats for the UK:

Fixed line phone number:
* (01XX) XXX 
* (01XXX) XX
* (01) X
* (02X)  

07 (mobile) number
* 07XX XXX or 07XXX XX.

08 (freephone, Lo-call or National Rate) number
* 08XX XXX or 08XXX XX.

09 (PRS) number
* 09XX XXX or 09XXX XX.
* 09XX XXX or 09XXX XX.

Since you're probably only interested in fixed and cell phone numbers that
cuts it down to a mere six different formats for the UK alone. At least
until they change the codes again :-)

I think the only thing you can guarantee about phone numbers is that if you
ignore the formatting entirely and just dial the digits, you'll probably get
through. Unless of course, a UK user has included the international dialling
code and entered the number like + 44 (01XXX) XX. In this case, you need
to dial your local international access code, then 44 for the UK, then DROP
the zero, then dial the rest of the number!

If you were in the UK trying to dial a US number entered as (picking a
random example ;-) ) +001(805) 563-0666, you might incorrectly dial 00 001
805 563 0666 (international access code from the UK is 00).

An alternative approach to attempting to validate a single telephone number
field would be to split it into separate input fields e.g.
 - Country code : 44
 - Area code: 01
 - Local number : XX
 - Extension: 

(note: this 'area code' doesn't always represent a geographical area. UK
cell phone numbers, for instance, are national, with the code denoting the
provider.)

I'd store the 'numbers' as Strings to ensure you retain whatever format your
users are comfortable with (after all it is *their* number) and strip out
the formatting when you need to use it.

That still leaves you with the leading 0 problem (or whatever the rules are
for other countries). I can only suggest that you would need to be able to
look up the rules for each country and strip off any unnecessary digits
based on a rule. You might be able to do this during input validation and
warn the user, but to avoid confusing/infuriating the user I think I would
just accept whatever they gave me and handle it intelligently when I need to
use it.

Telephone numbers are as personal and varied as postal codes and I just
*hate* it when some site tells me my house doesn't exist because their rules
can't handle my post code.

Good luck!

Steve

RE: Application Resources & Error messages

[Steve Raeburn]

Take a look at the validator example application that comes in the Struts
distribution. There is an example of referencing the variable so you don't
define it twice.

In your case, it should be:

  
  
  
  
minlength
4
  
  
maxlength
12

The exact location is configured in struts-config.xml

e.g.
  

looks for a file named 'application.properties' in the 'resources'

- or -
  

looks for a file, 'ApplicationResources.properties' in

RE: Stackoverflow after DB inactivity

[Steve Raeburn]

Try the latest MySQL driver (3.08). I had a similar problem recently
with a StackOverflowError that was solved by upgrading.

3.08 lists "infinite loop with Connection.cleanup()." as one of the
fixed bugs, which is what I suspect was causing the overflow problem.

You'll still have to contend with the MySQL connection which times out
after 8 hours, but you should be able to check for that and reconnect
if necessary or use the autoReconnect parameter
(http://www.mysql.com/documentation/connector-j/index.html)

RE: Retrieving the ModuleConfig object

Look at the Javadoc for o.a.s.Globals.MODULE_KEY

With it you can get the current module from the request, or append the

RE: YASJR, Part Duex

[Steve Raeburn]

Well I would say that software the passed QA containing malicious code was
faulty!

My point was that your company should trust you to judge the quality of the
code you're working with - wherever it comes from - and that you should have
a reasonably high degree of confidence in Struts code because:

1) You can review the code yourself.
2) Thousands of other developers also review the changes.
3) The committers review changes.
4) Only a small number of people actually have commit access.

Good luck with your project!

RE: YASJR, Part Duex

[Steve Raeburn]

Who do they sue if the code you've written in-house is faulty?

The fact is they pay you a lot of money (not enough I'm sure ;-)) for the
benefit of your expertise. There's no difference between the stuff you
develop in-house and any open source software you use. You still need to
apply the same QA process that you would use for your own code, but you save
a lot of time (and them a lot of money) by building on others' work.

In short, their guarantee of quality comes not on a piece of paper, but in
the quality of the people they employ.

The clue is in the title - OPEN source :-)

If open source has a weakness it certainly is not that anyone is hiding
things in the code.

If they're worried about rogue committers -- and I'd say we're probably all
rogues ;-) -- you can monitor the struts-dev list and be notified of every
single change to the codebase as it happens. I bet you can't get that level
of reassurance from any commercial vendor.

Out of interest, what web server is your bank running its website on?
Apache, by any chance? :-)

RE: [OT] Delays in list posts arriving (was [OT] Scheduling)

[Steve Raeburn]

I've been having the same problem. Most messages appear immediately but some
can take up to two days to arrive! Craig thinks it's due to the SoBig.F worm
and that makes sense, but I still don't get why it only affects a very small
number of messages.

I guess it's just "one of those things". The best thing to do is just sit it
out until things get better. Just be patient if someone's post seems to be
hopelessly out of touch with the thread.

It might also help if we kept list traffic down by keeping off-topic posts
to a minimum ;-)

RE: Validator and DispatchAction

[Steve Raeburn]

Ok, I see one potential problem. Your methods are declared as throwing
ServletException and IOException, but for Struts 1.1 they should be declared
as throwing Exception.

 public ActionForward create(
ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException {
  ...

should be
throws Exception {


Try changing that and see how you get on.

RE: Formatting form data inside the *view* (JSP's)

The Struts  tag offers a format attribute (or formatKey if you

RE: Another missing attribute in html-el

[Steve Raeburn]

When I try adding it, I get a JSP compiler error - "Attribute accesskey

I can only suggest that you still have an old copy of struts.jar. Try
starting with a fresh copy of struts-blank.war from the Struts 1.1
distribution and try that.

RE: Validator and DispatchAction

[Steve Raeburn]

The error message you are receiving indicates that DispatchAction is trying
to find a method named 'error' in your class and it can't find one.

There's really only two reasons that could be:
  1. There should be a method named 'error' and there isn't one.
  2. There isn't supposed to be one but somehow you are attempting
 to call it with a URL like this:
   http://localhost:8080/myapp/tr518page1.do?dispatch1=error

Are you dynamically generating the URL? If so, that might be the problem if
it is generating an error returning a string like "error=".

For what it's worth, I copied your code and it dispatches perfectly well
here. (BTW my previous message about Exceptions was a red herring. Although
you should be throwing Exception, I tried it as you had written and it
works.)

This is the relevant part of the message: "Action[/tr518page1] does not

Does your DispatchAction class, com.ewd.biztax.actions.Tr518page1Action,

RE: DynaValidator and two fields with identical content

[Steve Raeburn]

Take a look at the examples here http://www.ninsky.com/struts/
The validator example shows one way of doing exactly this. (It's very
similar to David's example).

If you can use the nightly build, then the validwhen rule can alsoe compare
fields.

RE: Another missing attribute in html-el

[Steve Raeburn]

"The following elements support the accesskey attribute: A, AREA, BUTTON,
INPUT, LABEL, and LEGEND, and TEXTAREA."
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/interact/forms.html#adef-acces
skey

I'm not quite sure *why*  does not have an accesskey, but it
definitely doesn't.

Looking back at the source, there *was* an accesskey attribute but it was
removed before 1.1 Beta 3. This explains more -
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13337

Check that you actually are running the release version of 1.1 and you don't
have any old jar or .tld files hanging around.

RE: Another missing attribute in html-el

No accesskey.

http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/struts-html.html#select

No access key.

I'm not denying that I could be wrong. Could you tell me what version of the
taglibs you are using and what version of the HTML or XHTML dtd you are
referring to?

RE: Another missing attribute in html-el

[Steve Raeburn]

accesskey is not a valid attribute for the select element (See
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/loosedtd.html).
It's not on the  tag either.

Also re your earlier message, I took a look at the  tag for
the the styleId attribute. It has already been added to the source since
1.1. There's also a styleClass attribute but I suspect that's a little less
useful ;-)

If you download the nightly build you'll able to use it. Or wait for 1.2
which should be along soon.

This might give you a start,

However, I prefer not to involve Struts in the data access layer, so these

RE: Struts custom tags tutorial

[Steve Raeburn]

In addition to the other resources I listed, you should take a look at JSTL:
  http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl/

The reference implementation for JSTL is at Jakarta taglibs:
  http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/standard-doc/intro.html

In particular, look at the iteration tag  which is roughly
equivalent to Struts  tag.
Both can be used to generate your result table by iterating over a
collection.

For example, using JSTL:
If 'widgetResults' is the name of a Collection of Widgets in some scope
(page, request, session, application) then you could use the JSTL tags in
the following extract to display a table containing the Widget details:

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"; prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt"; prefix="fmt" %>

...

  No widgets found.



  
  
SKU
Color
Size
Description
Price
  
  
  





  
  


...

This will print out a row in the table for each Widget in your Collection.

JSTL requires JSP 1.2 or later and you should use it in preference to the
Struts tag libraries where you can.

RE: Struts custom tags tutorial : urgent!!

[Steve Raeburn]

I do appreciate that when you are completely new to a subject it can be
difficult to know where to look. However, you'll get a much more sympathetic
response if you demonstrate that you have at least tried to find things out
for yourself before asking for help.

Start with the Struts web site:
 - http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/index.html
 - http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/resources/tutorials.html
 - http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/resources/examples.html

And also try Google:
 - http://www.google.com/search?q=Struts+tutorial
 - http://www.google.com/search?q=Struts+examples

Also, there are at least seven books specifically on Struts and several

RE: Html-el:hidden tag!?!?!

[Steve Raeburn]

That was the first answer that popped into my head, but the styleId
attribute generates an (X)HTML id attribute which is not a visual style
attribute at all, despite the Struts attribute name, but an element
identifier within the (X)HTML document.

I think the fact that it's missing is just an oversight in the tag library
descriptor.

If you're using a local copy of the struts-html-el.tld file (not the one in
struts-el.jar), you may be able to add the attribute there as a workaround.

Add this to the  tag entry:
  
  styleId
  false
  true
  

Disclaimer: I haven't tested this workaround so it may not work.

I'll take a look and fix it in the nightly build when I get a chance.

RE: Struts-example database

[Steve Raeburn]

The example application defines a custom plug-in that is initialised at
start-up and loads the database and stores it in the ServletContext
(application scope).

struts-config.xml:
  

  

MemoryDatabasePlugIn.java
  servlet.getServletContext().setAttribute(Constants.DATABASE_KEY,
database);

Constants.java
  public static final String DATABASE_KEY = "database";

Plug-ins are a common way to initialise application resources. Another way,
that requires at least a Servlet 2.3 container would be to implement a
ServletContextListener.

RE: How to keep session info??

[Steve Raeburn]

> But if redirect to another web application your session is lost 

That's by design. Sessions belong to a single web application.

The Servlet Spec says:

...
SRV.7.3 Session Scope
HttpSession objects must be scoped at the application (or servlet context)
level.

The underlying mechanism, such as the cookie used to establish the session,
can be the same for different contexts, but the object referenced, including
the attributes in that object, must never be shared between contexts by the
container.

To illustrate this requirement with an example: if a servlet uses the
RequestDispatcher to call a servlet in another web application, any sessions
created for and visible to the callee servlet must be different from those
visible to the calling servlet.
...

To maintain user data across web applications, you could use your own cookie
and/or store information in a database.

RE: How to keep session info??

[Steve Raeburn]

Redirect causes a new request, not a new session.

A few other things to try:
 - Check that your server is actually sending a session cookie or rewriting
the URL
   (change your browser settings to see when the server sends you a cookie)
 - If your server supports it, try using an HttpSessionListener and
   HttpSessionAttributeListener to help debug when sessions are created and
   attributes added/removed
 - If you still can't see the problem, post the relevant code from your
action

RE: [OT] Interesting JSF info

[Steve Raeburn]

You talk as if Sun were in sole control of the destiny of JSF and of Struts.
The truth is that Sun in in control of neither.

JSF is being developed under the the Java Community Process and the expert
group comprises a wide cross section of companies and individuals. You can
see for yourself: http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=127

>From the JCP home page:
"The Java Community Process is the way the Java platform evolves. Its an
open organization of international Java developers and licensees whose
charter is to develop and revise Java technology specifications, reference
implementations, and technology compatibility kits. Both Java technology and
the JCP were originally created by Sun Microsystems, however, the JCP has
evolved from the informal process that Sun used beginning in 1995, to a
formalized process overseen by representatives from many organizations
across the Java community."

That doesn't sound very like Microsoft at all. (Microsoft also aren't known
for giving away the fruits of their labour or committing development
resources to open source projects.)

Also, don't forget that JSF is a *specification*, not a product. As far as
I'm aware, vendors (in the loose sense, including Apache) will be free to
develop their own implementations.

With regard to Struts, as long as there is demand and support for Struts
from the user community then Struts will continue to exist and develop. Even
if JSF encompassed everything that Struts has to offer (Craig says it
doesn't and I'm apt to believe him) that would not kill Struts as long as
people still want an alternative.

The bottom line is that Struts will be what *we* need it to be and what *we*
make of it.

Steve

p.s. I don't work for Sun and I don't hate Microsoft :-)

I've included an example of the Two Fields custom validator in the examples

The bundled struts examples are found in the webapps directory of the struts
distribution (struts-validator.war).

There's lots of good stuff in that directory ;-)

RE: validation mask for currency

[Steve Raeburn]

Unless there's some regional standard that I'm unfamiliar with, currencies
(in fact, any numbers) are *always* grouped in threes. Otherwise the commas
are meaningless.

RE: message resource bundles and client-side validation

[Steve Raeburn]

Thanks for the clear and detailed description of your problem. You're not
doing anything wrong, this is something that is not currently supported by
the  tag which doesn't have a bundle attribute to enable
you to select a custom bundle.

There is a bug report relating to this
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19396. (This bug has been
closed in favour of a more general I18N enhancement request.)

The plan is to move to commons-resources soon so that may be the best time
to add the enhancement but I'll take a look to see if this can be added now.

To add colour to your error messages, use errors.prefix and errors.suffix,
e.g.:
  errors.prefix=
  errors.suffix=

That way you don't include mark-up in your error messages.

Try the Tomcat nightly build. I found the same problem as you with 5.0.7,
but I've just tried the nightly and it's fine. Of course that doesn't mean

RE: [FRIDAY] Impossible requirements & customer expectation management [WAS: method to get new Id to next action when old Id is in request?]

[Steve Raeburn]

To be fair to Aussie (and other non-US) developers, in the mid-90s *every*
major economy was begging developers to move from anywhere. How I miss those
days!

We had a lot of good Aussie developers in London at the time.

In your action configuration set the 'input' URL to point to an action
instead of your JSP and then build your lists in the action.

RE: Struts Validator

[Steve Raeburn]

Let me state the blindingly obvious:

  1. Validator works. Other people seem to be able to use it.
  2. Validator is not perfect. Valid bug reports would help make it better.
  3. This is a community project. There is no Us and Them, only Us. And, for
better or worse, that includes you.

Since you've not posted any bug reports about validator I can only assume
that you are either (a) blowing hot air, or (b) incapable of describing the
bugs you say you've found. If you aren't capable of making a meaningful
contribution, please at least don't waste other people's time with your
nonsense.

I'm not going to spend any more time batting this back and forth with you.
If you are prepared to provide constructive criticism and/or help improve
Struts, you'll find many people willing to accept your help and to offer
theirs in return. If not, well it's pretty easy to filter you out.

Have you looked at the struts-validator sample app? The 'types' examples
show most of the basic validations. If you've already looked at it, is there
anything that would make it easier to understand?

requiredif is in 1.1. Do you mean validwhen? If so, that's back in the
nightly build and will be in the next release.

Thanks. I've removed the link. The website will be updated with the next

Can I also suggest:
  (0) make *sure* it's a bug before you post a bug report.

If you don't *know* that what you're experiencing is a *Struts* bug then the
correct place to explore the problem is on the struts-user list. If what
you're asking for is really an enhancement then mark it as such in Bugzilla.

Bugzilla reports get sent to the dev list so you don't need to duplicate
that. Committers are also pretty active on the user list ;-)

I would replace (4) with be patient. If you've opened a Bugzilla report then
it *will* get reviewed. But time is limited and certain issues will be dealt
with more quickly. Straight-forward items and serious items tend to get
closed more quickly, with those falling into the not serious, but not
trival, taking a little longer.

Keep investigating the problem. If you can come up with new information or a
patch, then that will serve as a much more useful reminder than just
repeating yourself.

RE: Validator: Is validwhen available ?

[Steve Raeburn]

The only possible answer is "when it's ready". I would cautiously say within
the next quarter. It could be a lot sooner than that and I doubt it will be
any longer.

What I do know is that there won't be any major new features. It's primarily
a 'tidy-up' release with internal reorganization of the code and removal of
deprecations.

Keep monitoring the struts-dev list for activity.

RE: html:select multiple pre select

[Steve Raeburn]

I've put together a set of Struts examples at http://www.ninsky.com/struts,
one of which focuses on populating and options.

struts-config.xml:
  

  

JSP:

  Strawberry
  Apple
  Orange
  Pear
  Mango
  Banana
  Pineapple


Here, I've set initial values in the DynaActionForm configuration, but you
could also initialise the values in your 'prepare' action.

html:javascript defaults to true for both dynamic and static parameters so

RE: Validator: Is validwhen available ?

[Steve Raeburn]

The nightly builds are not working for now because of a problem with the
build machine.

ValidWhen has been added to the source but, for now, you'll need to check it
out from CVS and do your own build.
It will be included in the 1.2 release which will come along a lot sooner
than the 1.1 release did :-)

Subject: Validator: Is validwhen available ?

Hi
In the Struts Validator User Guide
(http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/dev_validator.html)
I read under "Designing Complex Validations with validwhen" the
following
sentence:


The new validwhen validation rule, which will be included into the
Struts
release immediately after the 1.1 release, is designed to handle
these cases.


Is the validator with 'validwhen' sowhere available or do we have to
wait
for the next Struts release?
Thanks
Koni

RE: Could one figure out the context path in Servlet.init() method?

[Steve Raeburn]

The ServletContextListener interface has a callback method  -
contextInitialized() - that passes in a ServletContextEvent parameter. You
can get the context from getServletContext() method of ServletContextEvent.

This was added in Servlet 2.3 spec.

RE: Path Finder

[Steve Raeburn]

Place the  tag in the 'head' section of your JSP. Relative paths
will be then be calculated based on the location of your JSP.

Alternatively, use the  tag to rewrite the value of the URL as
a context-relative path.
  " TYPE="text/css">

RE: How to add action errors from action class's execute method

[Steve Raeburn]

If you add an error in your action:
  errors.add("username", new
ActionError("error.username.unique",regform.getUsername()));
  ...
  saveErrors(request, errors); // And don't forget to save them ;-)

You can refer to the error by the property name (e.g. "username") in your
JSP
  



This also works with  but it iterates over the
messages/errors exposing each one as a page scope bean. To actually display
the message you use 

This would be the equivalent to the above  example:
  

  

As the 'message' attribute is not specified and it defaults to false,
messages are obtained using the Action.ERROR_KEY (that constant has now move
to org.apache.struts.Globals by the way). Thus, the ActionErrors collection
is accessed.

The 'message' attribute of the messages tag is documented here:

RE: struts-el example app not working?

[Steve Raeburn]

Well, I managed to get it running but I'm definitely not a convert to
Netbeans :-(

  - In Netbeans, go to the Runtime tab and expand the Explorer view until
you see the 'Internal Tomcat' server.
  - Right click on it and change the IDE Integration Mode from Full to
Minimum.

That seems to get it working. You could also look at the External Tomcat
Server feature as an alternative. There's information in the application
Help.

I think this <http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=32425> is the
cause of the problem. In any case, this issue is with Netbeans integration
of Tomcat and not with Struts.

Related information:
James Mitchell has written a guide to setting up a Struts project in
Netbeans (version 3.4)
<http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/faqs/netbeans.html>. He's using Ant to
build and deploy the web application so that probably gets round the
problems by avoiding the IDE's build/deploy features.

If you have access to WebSphere Studio it is IMHO a *much* more pleasant
experience than Netbeans and importing a WAR is straightforward. I haven't
tried Eclipse (on which Websphere Studio is based) with the Sysdeo plugin
for Tomcat, but that would be a cheaper (free!) option than WS Studio.

Hope this works for you... now where's that uninstall option :-)

RE: struts-el example app not working?

4.0.6 works for me. I don't remember the details, but I *think* Netbeans has
cropped up as a problem before.
If you can, try it with a standalone version of Tomcat and check the mail
archives for Netbeans issues.

The URI is not the problem, it's exactly the same as mine (as it would be if
the example hasn't been modified :-))

This is mine:
  <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html-el.tld"  prefix="html-el"  %>

This may also be valid, depending on what (if anything) you've got
configured in web.xml
  <%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html-el";
prefix="html-el"  %>

[Steve Raeburn]

Works fine for me with the 1.1 release version on Tomcat 4.1.24.

What container are you running on?

RE: Prob:Calling a bean:write inside html:text - Nesting is nice

[Steve Raeburn]

Try JSTL. For example: 

  

is equivalent to:

  
26/12/1968
  

The content of the second example can even be generated by nested tags.

RE: Multiple modules - Please help

[Steve Raeburn]

It wouldn't be (easily) possible to change ForwardAction to be configurable
between context and module relative because the ActionMapping only has one
parameter which is already being used to provide the path.

A couple of options would be to create a second version of ForwardAction
(ModuleForwardAction ?) that returns a module relative ActionForward, or to
create a simple action that returns an ActionForward which is configured in
struts-config with a well-known name ("success", in my example).

I prefer the latter approach because it is more flexible and uses the
standard method of configuring the ActionForward via struts-config. You'd
have to create your own for now, but I hope to add this as a standard
action.

The action (SuccessAction):
  public ActionForward execute(
ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
  throws Exception {

  return mapping.findForward("success");

  }

struts-config.xml:
  
  

  

-or-

RE: Subject RE: Multiple modules - Please help

[Steve Raeburn]

Ajay,
I've closed this bug. It seems to be a configuration problem...

I'm assuming that your add.jsp and edit.jsp files are in the /admin
directory.

The problem is with your configuration. ForwardAction requires a CONTEXT
relative path which, in this case would be:

 
 

(Note also, you had your parameter in a separate tag, but it should be an
attribute of the action tag. Not sure if that's what you actually had in
your
source or it's just a typo in the bug report, but it wouldn't help!)

The reason it worked when you used your own custom action is that by default
ActionFoward paths are MODULE relative, so your configuration entry
"/edit.jsp"
would be translated by the RequestProcessor to a context relative path of
"/admin/edit.jsp"

... if you still have problems after this, please post back to the user
list.

Glad you got it working. I'll take a look at your bug report and see if I

RE: submitting forms

[Steve Raeburn]

Just use a normal link with an onclick handler.

There's no need to use  because you're not actually linking to
another page but using the link as a convenient way of initiating
Javsacript.
