Hi, after a long absence, I'm back again in the struts world ;-) I have the following problem, I'd like to add an image on my page, where the name of this image is stored in the database ( not the image itself, just the pathlocation and the name); So I've a form bean with a 'getImagePath()' method that returns a String. But the name & property attributes in the img tag are already reserved for multiple parameters, so, the question is, how can I get my Image coming from my get method, without using scriptlets and all that stuff ? Thanks for your help, Thierry

Unfortunately, I jumped the gun. I quickly realized that the Dreamweaver ThirdPartyTags only allows you to substitute an icon in place of a tag and can not render HTML elements as I first thought it might. I found the alternatives posted to the list too intensive, "workaround", or complex for my needs right now. I will wait a year or so and hope that Dreamweaver improves its support for custom tags (to include some sort of translation from custom tags to HTML elements for display and graphical editing -- just enough so you could visualize the design)I am also considering not using the Struts HTML tags (if possible) and still use Struts but w/ standard HTML form input elements in some cases.I really want to turn the site over to the graphic artist and web designer after the software engineers finish their part. Unfortunately, if we use Struts we will not be able to do so as easily! ...and that puts us back into the days of servlet programming pre JSP where only the engineers will figure it out. Why do the artists need to learn a new syntax?... they already know HTML and know how to leave the JSP tags alone. Acknowledged, there are plenty of web designers who could do the job, but I want the team to be able to visualize what they are working on using good tools that abstract the detail so they can concentrate on the graphic design and layout. Sure, we could also design the site artwork first by creating an HTML storyboard and then convert to struts taglibs, but at some point maintenance and/or "facelift" will be an issue. Any thoughts anyone?Below was the most promising of the replies:==Hi ,Several weeks ago, I sent an email to this list describing an extension forDreamweaver UltraDev that allows for the creation of JSPs with custom taglibraries in UltraDev's development environment.

Hi everybody!There was a discussion about not calling
jsp pages directly, but to always gothrough an action instead. I agree
that this makes a lot of sense it quite a fewcases.Now my stupid
question is: What do I have to enter in struts-config.xml in orderto do a
simple forward or redirect e. g. from logon.do to logon.jsp?Normally I
would write something like this:> >
>
type="login.LogonAction">
> But I don't need
to do something special in the action LogonAction beforediplaying
logon.jsp. So how do I come around this? Write a dummy action whichalways
returns success and use it in each of these cases?Thanks a

Re: Dreamweaver TagLib
Hi Martin, Actually, it is more a tag translator than a tag lib. This means that every time you'll type a struts tag in the editor it will be translated in visual mode. To use it, simply copy the .htm file in the %ULTRADEV_HOME%\configuration\translator directory. Please keep in mind, that it was a prototype developed for the 0.5 version and it will need some modifications for the1.0 version.

Re: Has any one used struts and log4j successfully?
What's your problem actually ? I tried to use Log4 in my project using
struts as well and I didn't get any, I just out my 'log4j.properties' in
the classpath and put some 'Category' variables in my code like this
public class ListBillerAction extends ActionBase
{ private static Category cat =
Category.getInstance("Main.Biller");
public ActionForward perform(ActionServlet
servlet,
ActionMapping
mapping,
ActionForm
form,
HttpServletRequest
request,
HttpServletResponse response) {
ListBillerSearchCriteriaForm criteriaForm =
(ListBillerSearchCriteriaForm) form; BillerSearcher
billerSearcher; Screen dataScreen = null;
if (buttonPressed(request,
"search")) { if
(cat.isInfoEnabled())
cat.info("!! Button Search has been pressed !!");
And it works great for me !
Hope it helps,

Re: IBM Websphere and other app server
I think that the question is not what app server you will use, but well which servlet engine you want to use. As far as I know, Web sphere is not the best app server that exist on the market (it doesn't support the EJB 1.1 specifications). Personnaly, I've used Tomcat, Weblogic and Dynamo ATG 5.0, and if you want to use struts I think that the best choice is Tomcat + BAS( Borland Application Server), on the other hand if you want a solution App server + servlet engine, I think that Weblogic 6.0 is a good choice.

Re: Using custom tags
Title: Using custom tags Hi, before I evaluated UltraDev, I spent some time with HomeSite 4.5. It's true that it seems to be easier than UltraDev, but the last one is more powerful. I think that the power of Ultradev is to offer translators that will directly recognize the tags in WYSIWYG mode and I didn't see such an option in Homesite.

Re: Tomcat problem
Hi Craig, yes you're the Tomcat specialist I was looking for ;-) To answer you're question, yes, Struts is working fine under the environement I use, and what you told me is very strange, because I put the struts library in the classpath just before starting Tomcat and put my jar file containing my classes in the root lib of Tomcat and it works ( the reason I do that is that otherwise I receive a class not found exception when Tomcat deploys my war file). But ok, that not really the problem, I thing that the problem is more to make Tomcat work with Application Servers, Does someone know what are the exact system properties (Java -D) to make Tomcat works with Weblogic for example I already use the -Djava.naming.factory.initial="weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory" and -Djava.naming.provider.url="t3://localhost:7001" properties, but those seems not to be enough to make it works. and the only way, for now, is to put my jar file in the classpath.

Re: Struts and Weblogic 6.0
Hi,
There is already a XML parser included in the weblogic.jar file, so
you don't have to add any other library in it.
Personally, I didn't have to change anything in the classpath to make it
work, the only thing I had to do is to copy the the struts. jar file under the
WEB-INF/lib directory in my War file.
One last thing, is, don't put the struts library in your classpath, it gave
me a lot of problems.

This
is the functionality in 5.1 as well... must be a WL "feature" :) The
classpath does seem to get included for a *.war, but then there are other
issues (see my other post).
Do
you have Struts 1.0 working on WL6? If so, then what is your configuration?
i.e. what XML parser do you use? can you do a
wlconfig > config.txt
and
attach the file (so I can see the contents and order of your WL

In
regards to WL6, although this may not fix anyones particular problems, we
noticed one thing with the beta version we have. Anyting in the /WEB-INF/lib
dir does not automatically become part of the classpath. I assume this is
(or was) a bug with WL6. It works fine in Orion App Server. As per the spec,
the WEB-INF/lib and WEB-INF/classes dirs get included as part of the
classpath automatically, as does the vendor specific /lib dir (if they have
it) and I think the /jdk-dir/ext does too?

After seeing the talk about the API changes, I just downloaded
the latest nightly build (01-23 binary version) and tried to deploy the
example application to WebLogic 5.1 but it failed miserably with all kinds
of XML related errors. I also tried to run the example app on JRun, but
this failed as well (but with minor errors when JSP compiling- related to
passing a string into the setLocale(), setFilter() perhaps also due to XML
parsing?)
Anyway, Struts 0.5 works for me on WL5.1 now on both of my
development PCs so I am going to have to use this for now since I don't
have time to figure out how to make the 1.0 build work. Hopefully this is
as simple as suggested in the previous emails (I looked back a few weeks
at the various threads). Or better yet, maybe my problem is just with my
XML parser (I am using jaxp1.0.1).
If anyone has successfully deployed the Struts v1.0 example
application on WL5.1 please let me know... I may experiment some more
with this next week.

PropertyRessource problem on WebLogic 6.0
Hi, As I already told in other messages, I try to move my application from a Tomcat server to Weblogic 6.0. I know already about all serialization problems in Weblogic and made the modications in the Message Ressources classes to make it work and it was working. Yesterday, I read the mail from Craig, telling that modications were made in struts so this problem was now solved. I deployed the example war file in Weblogic, and ... miracle it started without any problem (at least the first page and registration one, Craig told that there was a problem due to the datasource, but that's not an issue for me). So, I changed the struts library in my application, and ... I received a nice : <12-janv.-01 15:02:29 GMT+01:00> <[WebAppServletContext(1644923,ebpp_beans)] Could not deserialize context attribute java.io.NotSerializableException: org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResourcesFactory. So my question is, what has changed in the example application to make it work (I didn't see the difference). Could someone help me, so that I can use the last struts library without modifications in it. Thanks, Thierry Thierry Cools Senior Java Developer S1 Brussels Kleine Kloosterstraat, 23 1932 st.

Re: Strange problem using Weblogic 6.0
If you are interested, I found a way to avoid the problem, it doesn't solve it, but at least it allows me to continue to migrate my application from Tomcat to Weblogic. The solution is to have a 'weblogic.xml' file in the same directory as the web.xml one, in this this file you can use the following parameter URLRewritingEnabled false in the section Here is the link for the documentation of this Xml file. http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs60/programming/weblogic_xml.html As I said, this solution does not really solve the problem but is a workaround. I already post the problem in the Weblogic newsgroup, but no answer yet, as soon as I receive a real solution I will let you know.

Re: Strange problem using Weblogic 6.0
Hi Craig,
Thanks for your explanations, but the problem is different, maybe I was not
very clear in my first mail.
The problem is that, as you can see in the adress link, Weblogic add '/'
characters in the jsessionid and the servlet engine doesn't seems to be able to
recognize that the session id is not a part of the context path, so that the
context path contains the real context path + the session id, the result of this
is that the application can not access all following links because of
this.
I hope it was more clear this time.
Thanks for your help,

I'm not sure quite what you are asking about ... do you mean that the
"jsessionid" entry disappears after the first link? If so, that would be
normal behavior if you have cookies enabled in your browser. Tomcat does
the same thing.
On the first transaction in a session, your servlet container has no idea
whether or your client supports cookies or not, so it sends the session
identifier both ways (as part of the URL, and as a cookie). If the
session id comes back in as a cookie, the container says "aha, this user
supports cookies, so I don't need to do URL rewriting any more".
NOTE: In order to support sessions without cookies, you must do URL
rewriting around all hyperlinks you generate, using
response.encodeURL("path-to-a-page");
Struts will do this for you in the and
tags.

Hi, I've a problem related with Struts, even if it is not a development problem. We would like to develop JSP pages with the Struts tags, but the problem is that when we use those tags in a web designer tool, this guy is not able anymore to show the components in the forms as with normal form components. So the question is, does someone know a tool where it is possible to integrate user tags ( and so, struts tags ) so that we can still have a "draft" preview of the pages. By "draft", I mean that in place of the components we could have an image or even a text that will show that there is a component at this place.

Re: Support for ComboBox
It depends of how persistent are the data you want to put in you Combo., e.g. if you have to fill in a combo with countries, this will not change during your application so you could put it in the session or even in the application scope, but for data that have to change a lot it's maybe a good idea to put them in the request scope and so to fill the data in the ActionForm Thierry Cools Senior Java Developer S1 Brussels Kleine Kloosterstraat, 23 1932 st.

Could be passed through the session object.2.
