How to keep the same credential in the new thread
Title: How to keep the same credential in the new thread This is not a direct Struts question. But I will go ahead ask: I am using WebLogic 6.0 on Sun Solaris. I have my servlet be protected by RDBMS realm. When the servlet is invoked, it will spawn a new thread. However, this new thread gets a "guest" credential. For example, weblogic.security.acl.Security.getCurrentUser.getName() will return "guest" Is there a easy way to create a new thread however keep the "credential"?

RE: [Q] struts:link with forward attribute on WebLogic 6.0
Do you have a quick answer to my last question in my previous note? The question is included below. What I am trying to do is that when the index.html or index.jsp is invoked, it will forward the request to my main page without user to type anything. The main page is a jsp which will be invoked by one of the actions I will write. (I think what I need is to directly invoke the Struts servlet with certain parameters without using struts:link). Any other approach I can take. Thanks, Zhiyong -Original Message- From: Craig R.

I've been going through the various objects that Struts itself creates, and ActionForwards (among others) was recently made Serializable -- you should be able to do this with a very recent nightly build. NOTE: The Struts example application still won't work, though -- it uses a context attribute that is not serializable, so it won't work correctly on this platform. Craig McClanahan

What is the syntax? I tried,
None of them work. ("generic" is a action defined in the action.xml).

That fixed problem. I actually need to add extra path to "/generic.do",
but the idea is correct.

It should be a context-relative path to your action or page. For
example, if
you use the normal style of mapping the Struts servlet to "*.do", it
would be

don't
think it was in Struts 0.5.

RE: Strange problem using Weblogic 6.0
I had the same problem. Is there a work around from either Struts or WebLogic (any WebLogic people out there)? Thx, Zhiyong -Original Message- From: Craig R.

I hope it was more clear this time. Thanks > for your help,Thierry > Thierry Cools This looks like a bug in the way WebLogic is doing URL rewriting. The session id is required (by the servlet spec) to be passed as a *path* parameter, not a *query* parameter. According to the RFC for URL syntax (I believe it's 2396, but don't have it available at the moment to check), the overall syntax goes like this: scheme://host:port/resource-path;path-parameters?query-parameters in other words, if I start with a URL like this: http://myhost/myapp/logon.do?name=value I should end up with a URL like this: http://myhost/myapp/logon.do;jsessionid=12345?name=value (which is what Tomcat and every other container I've tested does). It looks to me like Weblogic is sticking the session id before the "/logon.do" part, which basically screws up the resource-path part of your URL. Craig
set methods in ActionForm
I have two questions related with the set methods in any of the Form
class, such as MyActionForm.
1. It seems to me that if we use a form with POST method, the
corresponding "set" method will be called as it should be. What I want
to confirm is that if I have the URL with query string, does the
parameter specified overthere also cause the "set" to be called? For
example, I have the URL: http://.../action?name=value And in the
MyActionForm.java, I have the method:
public void setName(String name) {name = value;}
My experiment shows that when I clicked the URL, setName got called.
2. My second question is that I found the "set" method did not got
called if the length of the "keyword" is 2. For example, in the above
example, if "name" is "aT" and I have the "set" method,
public void setAT(String aT) {aT = value;}
The "setAT" does not got called.

FormAction scope
I understand that the default scope of the "FormAction" bean is "session", which means that only one "FormAction" bean instance will be created for each session. Is there a way to specify the scope of the "FormAction" to be "request"? We probably can do this with Struts's form tag. But that is not what I want. In my case, this "FormAction" bean may be invoked from a href in addition to the forms. Thx, Zhiyong Li Platform Development iBiomatics LLC , a SAS Company (919) 653-2746 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Set default file names in the upload
Title: Set default file names in the upload
This may not be a direct Struts question. But I hope to get the response from here ...
In using the file upload, which is , I would like to set a default value for the file name. However, I cannot find a way to accomplish this. These are the approaches I tried;
or
function setDefaultName(){
document.frmGroup.F0.value="c:\\temp";
}
I am using IE 5. I was told that for the security reason, the browser does not allow you to do this. I would like to confirm on that.

Several design questions for a large application
I have used Struts as the core control component for the first release of the iBiomatics knowledge platform. I am very happy with it, especially it encourages all the developers to think and code in a way consistent with Model-2 architecture. However, I have not fully used all the functions of Struts, especially "form beans", "form tags", other attributes defined in "struts_action.xml" (such as "forward", "error"). Here are the reasons why I did not use those features. I would like to get your feedback and I would like to use more Struts features in the future releases of my product. The application I have been building is a middle/large size product, which has many different functions (actions). Each function can have many different sub-functions. One of my goal is to have only a "handful" action classes. Each action denotes an entry point for a specific function. Therefore, each action class will act like a "dispatcher" and invoke different bean classes (let us call it "action bean") to do the real work for different sub-functions (for example, interact with the server side components). To retrieve the parameter's values from the "POST/GET" request, I have a corresponding "form bean" class for each "action bean". All of these bean and form classes may extend a basic bean or form class to make the code reusable. Because of this design, it seems that I can not specify which "form" class to use in the "struts_action.xml". I really need a way for "Struts" to get hold of a "sub form bean object". Similar, I can not specify "forward" in the "struts_action.xml". Given "form tag" uses a form bean to retrieve form values and my design described above, it is not easy to know which "form" bean to use. One way is probably that I set it up in "action bean" and JSP will get which "form bean" to use from this "action bean". If all of these descriptions confuse you, I have several generic questions you may be able to help me: 1. How valuable to use "form" bean supported by "Struts"? 2. How flexible of using "forward" as the flow control to go to different pages? I found it limited since you have to define it in the "struts_action.xml". This is not flexible if you want to "forward" to different locations according to the values in the request.

General JSP question: how to protect the JSP source code
When I ship a product with JSP code, I would like to avoid the direct shipping of the JSP source code. It seems that there is a way I can just ship the compiled JSP code. I tried this, but I can not get it work in Tomcat. Any one knows that whether this is a standard feature (you can just ship compilered code) or it is only supported by certain app. servers. If it is a standard feature, how to get it work?
