Re: Submitting a form

[Tim T. Young]

Your link could look like this :

Link Text

The javascript could look like this :

linkClicked() {
  document.forms[0].myHiddenField.value = 'something';
  document.forms[0].action = '/differentAction.do';
  document.forms[0].submit();
}

You could pass the "something" value into the function also, if needed.

Re: Exception handling 100% declarative

[Tim T. Young]

Sounds like you need to add a custom handler like so:







Your "EJBCreateHandler" class would extend from ExceptionHandler and
override execute.  In there you can then create the custom parameterized
messages you want.  In the execute method of a ExeceptionHandler you have
references to the form, the mapping, request/response, and the
ExceptionConfig.  The ExceptionConfig class has the message key (and type,
path, etc) contained in the exception mapping.

HTH,
Tim

I would like to be able to customize the output when an exception is thrown
with minimal or no extra overridden classes.  My struts config (1.1) config
file looks like this:











The properties file looks like this:

errors.header=The following system errors occurred:
errors.footer=
error.persistence.create=An error occurred attempting to create a database
record
error.http.methodnotsupported=This type of request is not supported for
this URL
error.naming.namenotfound=Lookup failed with naming service
error.servlet.illegalparameter=A required field or parameter is missing for
the request


The syserror.jsp file is simply:

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>










The above does work.  But I only get the properties file message printed.
I would like to do something like this:

error.servlet.illegalparameter=A required field or parameter is missing for
the request {0}

so that I can dynamically generate a message specific to the error.  In
this case I want to display whatever field is identified by the exception.
So if the exception is thrown like:

throw new IllegalParamsException("fieldXYZ is missing");

I would like to see "A required field or parameter is missing for the
request 'fieldXYZ is missing' "
Can I do this 100% in a declaritive manner?  Or how can I pull this off.

thanks

Re: Cannot find bean viewcontactlist in scope request

paramName (in your case viewcontactlist) is the name of the bean in the
request (paramScope="request").  You need to have a paramProperty
="beanProperty" also.

>From the docs:

Specify both the paramName and paramProperty attributes - The specified
property getter method will be called on the JSP bean identified by the

The error messages are:

RE: [Share DB Connections] how to return errors from Model component

[Tim T. Young]

Database connections (ie jdbc) are usually done through connection manager
classes or container managed data sources.  Our infrastructure provides a
PoolManager which does db, ldap, custom, etc pooling.  When we want a
connection we just "PoolManager.getCurrent().getConnection(...).  The
connections are pooled behind the scenes, improving effeciency, etc.  Of
course when I hear "model" I think totally independent classes which could
be reused in any jvm, so I probably would have some type of persistance
manager class asking for the connections to do the persistance work on the
model object.

Hi,

I totally agree with this statement, but I've been having real problems
keeping the Model from knowing it's a webapp and still being able to
properly share a database connection. I'm still a beginner to java and
struts, so there may be a simple answer I'm missing but...

How do you guys and gals get your model objects to share your database
connections without letting them know they are a web app?

Re: how to return errors from Model component

[Tim T. Young]

I would agree that your model should not be manipulating ActionError(s).
If your requirement is that you MUST send multiple errors back from the
model then perhaps a custom exception (with a list of other exception,
errors string, or keys to i18n, internal to it), that you can pick apart in
the Action:perform( ... catch (...)).If you think that multiple model
errors is a down-the-road thing, take the XP route and implement a solution
for single errors, then when the feature becomes required you can use your
knowledge gained from the first pass to implement the multiple way.

Hey guys, I have an MVC-type question. My View captures data from the user
and sends it to the Controller, which validates and massages it and uses it
to configure the Model and tell the Model to do something. Based on the
something, the Controller sends another View to the client. So far so good.

What happens when something, or rather, somethings go wrong when the Model
is doing its work? How should the Model communicate this to the Controller
in a way that doesn't violate the seperation of concerns? Currently, my
Model creates a struts ActionErrors object and puts the error messages into
it and returns it to the Controller. This strikes me as a bad design choice
because the Model object shouldn't have any notion of the environment in
which it lives. However, I'm unsure what the best practice is. Choices
include:

* Tossing an exception - but I would like to be able to send multiple
errors at the same time

* Return a List or array of String error messages - but then my messages
are hard-coded into the application, making i18n painful. I could make the
Strings returned be keys into the ApplicationResources properties file, but
then how do I attach parameters for messages that need them?

* Return, oh, a SortedMap of error messages, where the keys are the error
message keys, sorted in order of occurance, and the values are Lists of
parameters for the error messages - but this seems awfully convoluted.

Any suggestions?

Good god man he has got RETROGRADE EJACULATION for cryin out loud!

From: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001282.htm

Retrograde ejaculation refers to the entry of semen into the bladder
instead of going out through the urethra during ejaculation.

Retrograde ejaculation may be caused by prior prostate or urethral
surgery, diabetes, some medications, including some drugs used to treat
hypertension and some mood altering drugs.

Switching to a framework like Jakarta Struts can help reduce most of the
symptoms.

The condition is relatively uncommon and may occur either partially or
completely. The presence of semen into the bladder is harmless. It mixes
into the urine and leaves the body with normal urination. Men with
diabetes and those who have had genitourinary tract surgery are at
increased risk of developing the condition.

I am new to struts and I don't know if this is of any use or if it is even
right, but when I wanted to call an Action when the user clicked a link I
used something like (no forms involved):

Build Database: Button

and in my struts-config.xml had something like:

 


 

I left name="" because I wasn't doing anything with a form, just responding
to a user clicking on a link.  I welcome comments letting me know if this
is
the right way to be doing this or (rather more likely) that I am clueless
and that there is some other struts mechanism I should be using to handle
getting access to the action mappings when no forms are involved.

Thanks,

I don't use form because I don't need to submit any data. The action will
perform some logic against query string in request and data in session, and
forward wither to a success page or a failure page.

I could put this logic directly in JSP rather than in an action, but I
don't want so many Java code in JSP.

This was sorta mentioned before, but...why not have and index.do instead of

do some logic and then call the server?
If it does the latter, make it a .do

hmmm...why not check your condition and perform this logic in an action
before you even forward to the JSP in the first place?

b.t.w., you can always issue a response.sendRedirect( URL ) in the JSP
scriplet, and give it the URL-mapping for the action you wish to redirect
to.  I don't think that doing this is a great idea, however. :)

Joe

Re: Call external page

[Tim T. Young]

You could just make a link in the jsp instead of going through an action.
If you have to go through an action, mmm, does having redirect="true" make
you able to go to "external" sites?

How can I call an external site from an Action?

I would like to set the site from struts-config.xml file
and use the Struts forward mechanism.
Example:


http://www.google.be"/>


But the ActionForward accepts only relative redirection.

Could you help me?

It's a good idea, but in practice I think it's going to be a hassle,
especially if this list grows.  Those who are filtering will have to go
through the rigmarole of setting them up again should they have to
reinstall their client.  And new users will also have to start
filtering, and I can foresee lots of posts in the future informing
people of the use of filters etc.

I think it would be a whole lot less hassle to keep a core struts
mailing list, and move off-topic discussions to another list -
'struts-related' or something.  It doesn't seem fair to force those not
interested in the other stuff to take measures to filter it when they're
not even a part of it in the first place :)

Anchors

[Tim T. Young]

I need to create a page that will have links on the LH navigation bar to
anchors in the current page.

I would like to know if this first scenario is possible.  I have browsed
some anchor info in the archives but did not see anything that addressed
this exactly.

1. Step One (   /page.do#step1  <-- is this possible?  )
2. Step Two (  /page.do#step2  )
3. Step Three  (  /page.do#step3  )

 
   


 


If page.do is just a forward and has redirect=true will this work?  This
seems to keep the knowledge of the anchors in the page itself and creates
less definition entries.

Or

My second option is to have a definition name for each anchor so I would
have:

1. Step One (   /step1.do )
2. Step Two (  /step2.do  )
3. Step Three  (  /step3.do  )

 
   


 


This would work, but now the anchors are in the xml for Tiles, which I
would rather not have.  Are there other options?

Thanks,
Tim

Is there a struts tag to display a String that has been added to the
Request as an attribute, instead of adding an object with a property and
a getter?

Non Struts way:

<%=request.getAttribute("myattribute")%>

Struts way:

?

The bean:write tag wants an object with a getter and I simply want to
pass a String and pull it out to display it.

This may or may not be what you're looking for, but I've been trying to
organize patterns in the following diagram that's meant to show, among
other
things, where all the routine http request sub-activities should be coded.
I color coded the activities to identify those that can be coded in more
than one place and so contribute to potentially chaotic designs.  I'll look
over Ted's patterns and see how I can add some of that stuff to the
diagram.

A bit of off-topic, but it's Friday, so there :)

Today I read an new article on IBM developerWorks on eXtreme
Programming, in which the author pretty much sorts the wheat from the
chaff in explaining XP, and I am very interested.  I'd avoided XP in the
past because all the FUD that surrounds it made it difficult for me to
determine exactly what it was and what it involved without spending a
significant amount of time researching it (time is money!).

Now I am curious as to who is using XP and how true it is to it's
promise of increased collaboration, increased productivity and more
importantly increased project success rate.

Being unedjumucated, I have found it difficult in the past dealing with
projects in the various ways I have experienced.  I've not had a great
time all in all, with too many horror stories for someone with only 4
years professional experience.  I've found myself asking 'why?' quite a
lot, and I've always wondered if there was a better way.  This also has
a lot to do with why I operate as a one man band, and generally try to
avoid 'complicated' development.

If anyone has any views on XP or any real world world experience with
it, I'd love to hear about it.  It appears that XP is being more widely
adopted these days, with JUnit and various other tools available that
support the XP processes.

The article is here, for anyone interested:

I would be curious to see if anyone has a design for this.  I fixed it by

You're trying to bypass the internal workings of struts.  That's just the
way struts works, if you want to pull the iterator out of the bean, you
need
the get method.  If you want to keep the iterator method only because it's
used else where and you don't want to change it in those places, I suppose
you could have both.  It results in slightly longer code, but you could
have
both if you wanted to.

Re: No getter error

I get that error when I add a property to a bean (with, in my case,
Websphere still running) and then try to add that new property to a tag,
and then run it.  Struts caches the PropertyDescriptors and so I end up
having to restart Websphere to pick up the changes.

Re: Newbie iterate problem

[Tim T. Young]

Hi Tracy.  Your code looks correct, so you might try tracing through the
iterate tag and the write tag to get a better idea of the problem.  I had
to do that several times before when I get those types of errors that
aren't obvious.  Start at the write tag to see what it is getting (and what
it is trying to look up) and work your way back.

I'm coming up to speed with Struts, and I can't seem to figure out the
 tag.  I've got:


 ...


I keep getting a "cannot find bean logo in scope null" error.  Do I have to
have an instance of the bean in the request?  I've tried specifying both
session and request scoping, and I've specified the type of the bean, but I
can't seem to get an instance created.  Is this something that Struts is
supposed to do, or is that something that is my responsibility?

Thanks!

Re: How do you handle non-text data in Struts forms?

[Tim T. Young]

I tend not to mix my ActionForms and any "business" type classes at all.
I keep the forms lightweight, even "dumb" by having only string data (this
also supports redisplay properly) In the action I take the data out of the
form and give it to the business layer.  This is 2-way separation - Struts
doesn't know about my app specific logic and my app specific logic (and
data) does not know about Struts).  A class like Money and MoneyForm will
look and feel like a bit of duplication, but as design goes (balancing of
forces and all that) I tolerate the duplication for the benefit of the
separation.  This way as Struts changes you can "upgrade" without worrrying
about new behaviors or features in the forms, etc.  And if you ever (God
forbid) had to get away from Struts, it would be a easy split on your app
code.

Hello all, Struts newbie here. I'm in the process of evaluating Struts for
use in a project and one of the criteria I'm checking out is how to deal
with non-text data to and from a form.

For my test case I coded a fairly simple Money class that represents a
currency value (stored internally as an integer value of pennies). This
class has a factory method that can construct a Money instance from a
parsed text field, and has a toString() method that returns the value
formatted as its textual equivalent.

So in my AmountForm (extending ActionForm) I have the following instance
variable, setter, and getter for a field with the key "amount":

   private Money amount = null;

   public void setAmount( String text ) {
 this.amount = Money.parseText( text );
   }

   public String getAmount() {
 return this.amount.toString();
   }

So far, so good.

But of course, my actions aren't really interested in the text format of
the field, but in the Money instance itself. So I changed the getter to:

   public Money getAmount() {
 return this.amount;
   }

Figuring that because Money has a toString() method, that all would be
well: my actions could obtain the Money instance, and Struts could obtain
the text format for displaying on the pages.

Well, that broke things. Strangely enough, the symptom of the above change
seems to cause the setter to not be called upon form submission (all seems
to go well with the getter itself -- curious).

I'm not sure why the symptoms of the failure are as such, but my question
boils down to this:

What patterns do you use to handle this type of non-textual data in your
Struts forms?

Do you create 2 getters: the bean-patterned setter to return the text
value, AND a getter to get the Money (or other non-text) class instance? As
in:

   public String getAmount() { return this.amount.toString(); }
   public Money getMoneyAmount() { return this.amount; }

This seems rather messy to me, and since this is probably a common
requirement (use of non-text data), I figured someone must have come up
with a better pattern.

Thanks for any input you all might have!

Re: Differentiating between to two actions

[Tim T. Young]

I think in this case you will need your onchange to set a flag (hidden
field) indicating which list was used, then submit the form.  In your
actionform you would need a corresponding property.
Then in the servlet you then could ask the actionform for the flag.

Hi,
   I am using STRUTS 1.0.2. I have two List boxes on page. Which are used
to

javascript to kick of an action on 'oncahnge'. But every time i do onchange

both list list box are called.

Re: Newbie question on displaying lists

[Tim T. Young]

Couple of ways I have handled this...

1) Don't go to a page directly (*.jsp), go to an Action (*.do) first to
prep the form and put it in whatever scope you have it configured for
(request, session, etc).  Some people don't care for these "preparing"
actions, though.  Like any design you have to balance the pros and cons.

2) The form could directly call your business layer to get the data.  I
don't really like this, but have done it for short, static lists before.

There are probably other ways, I'm sure others have used different methods.

Hello there  :-)

I'm playing around with struts at the moment (very impressive work), but I
seem to have got myself into a little trouble.

I'm writing a web application, that lists the contents of a database table
as soon as you hit the page.

Now so far, I've been working on just submitting forms, which seems to be
Ok.

But what is the approach, if I have to retrieve information and display it
*before* anything gets submitted?

Do I build my display page as a form; how do I populate it before
submission?

If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great.

Thanks in advance:-)

Conversion from templates (Struts 1.0.2) to Tiles

I am converting a couple of test pages from templates in Struts 1.0.2 to
use Tiles.  My question is, how do I do something like this:

 
  
 
 
 



 


Can I use "extends" to turn the "sidebar" off?  From a couple of quick
tests this seems not to work (it tries to load a file called "" and
understandably fails)  The template stuff in Struts 1.0.2 was forgiving
enough to treat "" as nothing and would just return null or empty string or
something from the tag, not an error or anything.

Any info would be appreciated...

Yes VAJ/WTE is a pain, but it is ok to have the same configuration in the

Like this...

Struts needs to know which mapping is used so that it can construct an
appropriate URL for  links where you specify the action path
only in the "action" parameter.  For example, if your struts-config.xml
says:

  ...
  
  ...

and your JSP says:

  

then Struts needs to know what extension to add (if you do extension
mapping) or what path prefix to stick on the front (if you are using path
mapping).

Struts is designed to operate only in containers that are compliant with
the specifications.  I'm not really interested in making accomodiations
for things like this -- I would suggest that WTE be changed to use the
standard deployment descriptors.

In the mean time, can you just ensure that the mapping is defined in both
files?

Committers on Apache projects, among other things, agree to the the terms
of the Contributor License Agreement
<http://jakarta.apache.org/site/agreement.html>, which requires them to
assert that they have the legal rights to grant the specified license to
the code (that they contribute) to the Apache Software Foundation, which
is the legal owner of all the code.  It is primarily a matter of self
policing, but the process of becoming a committer is also a pretty high
barrier -- the other committers have to get to know you and trust you
before they are voted in.

In addition, the source code of every single CVS commit is mirrored to the
appropriate developer mailing list (STRUTS-DEV for Struts code).  There,
it can be reviewed for licensing problems (such as a company agreeing to
contribute code but forgetting to remove the old license first -- I've had
to clean up a few of those for my employer (Sun) on occasion) as well as
code quality.  So, it is not possible to "sneak" code in that is clearly
not licensed to Apache correctly.

There is no such thing as zero risk.  In practice, this hasn't been an
issue on the Apache projects I've been involved in (primarily Tomcat,
Struts, and Commons) over the last several years.

Having worked in both closed source and open source environments, I can
also see the relevance of assertions by some that closed source
development efforts are *more* susceptible to this exact problem than open
source ones, precisely because the open source community can review every
submission.  How do you kno

License and copyrighted code

[Tim T. Young]

I am preparing technical and business information to deliver to a
technology group
at my firm.  I know the issue of licensing and copyright will come up and
of course I
have read and studied the Apache license.  One question I know will be
asked is this:
How does the Apache process (with its commiters, etc) ensure
non-copyrighted code
from "someplace else" does not get into the distribution?

The probability of this happening is probably not statistically significant
but I need to
be able to point to facts that supports the statement that this will never
happen, ie my
opinion (even the opinion of all of the users on this list) would not
necessarily be enough
to convice this group that there is no risk of it happening.

I would appreciate any information on this subject.

Re: html:errors tag funny null strings

I just put a errors.header= and errors.footer= in the properties file and
it takes care of it,
since I didn't have anything I wanted to display like in the example below.

Actualy I'm not missing the entry for the error, since it gets writen to
the page, but there are aditional "null" strings.

I have this in properties file:

text.login.password.error=Password is required

on the jsp page I have



but the output on the page is not just: "Password is required"
but : "null Password is required null".

Does that make sense ?
