[SCAFFOLD] ProcessAction - Merging properties from a session obje ct
Hi, Looking at the ProcessAction code, it turns out that in order to get a session object to the execute() method of a ProcessBean, the following conditions must be met: 1) A form is submitted 2) That form is an instance of BaseForm (and not DynaActionForm or other type for that matter) 3) The bean is exposed in session under the name userProfile Otherwise, that session object will not be available to the ProcessBean. Is there another build in method to pass a session object into the ProcessBean (other than subclassing ProcessAction :-( ?

[SCAFFOLD] Future of Scaffold - alternative DAO
Hi, Does anyone know of an alternative but similar DAO package to Scaffold which fits in with Struts as smoothly (i.e. can be configured into the ActionMapping very intuitively)? Noam - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [SCAFFOLD] Future of Scaffold - alternative DAO
Ted, Thanks. In fact, following you advice, I am using iBATIS SqlMaps, which is very very neat indeed. I started building my app based on the Scaffold package after reading Struts in Action (which was actually almost 10 months ago) and I like it a lot. Looking forward to the Commons Chain.

[SCAFFOLD] Elegant way to expose more than one object using Proc essAction
Hi, When using the Scaffold ProcessAction, a data-bean is instantiated by the framework and it's execute() method is called, returning a ProcessResult object to the view layer. The ProcessResult object may contain a single object or a collection (of values or objects). Suppose I want to return to the view layer a collection of some sort AND a single object which has nothing to do with that collection. In order to do that, what I do now is to create another helper collection in which I store both the single object\s and the collection I wish to send to the view layer. Then I return this helper collection as a ProcessResult object to the view layer, where I have to extract back both the collection and the single object as separate entities, and define them as beans. Is there a more elegant way to expose a number of objects\collections of different types using a single call to ProcessAction?

Thanks Ted, As always your advice was most helpful!!! The iBATIS DB layer package is great, though I'd rather stay with Scaffold version for DAO.

RE: SubClass RequestProcessor or Action class
Hi, If you want to use your custom RequestProcessor subclass, for security issues or any other preProcess() needs, all you need to do is define it in the struts-config.xml controller definition, which is the last definition before the /struts-config closing tag. Then your class would be called for every request. for example, my custom RequestProcessor which is used to process roles is defined as controller processorClass=com.foo.RequestProcessorRoles / It worked for me.

re: artimus data source issue - poolman.xml
If you are trying to change database settings for the artimus example application: Please note that there is a poolman.xml file in the commons-scaffod.jar!!! I've spent a day playing around with this, moving poolman.xml's around till I figured out where my trouble are. Noam From: Ted Husted * Subject: re: artimus data source issue * Date: Sun, 16 Feb 2003 10:55:10 -0800 Something like the configuration file for poolman has to be on the Java classpath where the classloader can find it. The simplest location is directly under the WEB-INF/classes folder. The glitch there is that, to do a clean build, it's very convenient to just delete that folder and rebuild the application for scratch. So, it can be safer to have two, and get the build file to copy it cover when it builds the rest of the application. Start by putting the poolman.xml file you want to use under classes, and see that its working. Then have a look at the build.xml to see if it is trying to copy that file from another location to classes. Then copy your updated file to the source location, to be sure its available to future builds.

RE: Simple Tiles question
It is legal, but: 1. You have to make sure that the outcome of putting all the tiles together creates one complete HTML page. Which means that if you have a header tile, content tile and a footer tile, you should open the header with html and close the footer with /html and so on. 2. It is sometimes better to use the JSP tags html:html rather than plain html. -Original Message- From: Erez Efrati [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 9:51 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: Simple Tiles question A simple question I guess, Is it legal to have the tags like html /html and others in a tile. Meaning, when converting a page to a tile, do I have to remove those html:html header etc. tags?

Container Authentication: Artimus on Resin
Hi, A short one. This is a Resin question - but I did not find my answers there... Does someone know how to set container authentication on Resin so as to run the artimus application. The default for artimus is using Tomcat, which has a tomcat-users.xml file to define roles. But for Resin, there is only resin.conf.
