Since the javascript regexp starts with '/' shouldn't any embedded '/'s
be

I'll test it locally to see if it solves our problem and report back.

Heads up on Struts validator that's in CVS
Earlier today I committed the code and documentation for the Struts Plug-in for Maven. People who are building Maven from CVS can use this functionality now. Do an 'ant maven:site' to generate the docs until the site is updated. The Struts Plug-in currently has one target: validate-struts-war It does some simple but useful checks on war files that contain struts web applications. Here's the output using the struts example war as input --- validate-struts-war: [struts10warvalidator] /home/dion/source/jakarta-commons/latka/target/latka-webapp.war started: war validation started [struts10warvalidator] /home/dion/source/jakarta-commons/latka/target/latka-webapp.war info: validating servlet name: database class: org.apache.struts.webapp.example.DatabaseServlet [struts10warvalidator] /home/dion/source/jakarta-commons/latka/target/latka-webapp.war info: validating servlet name: action class: org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet [struts10warvalidator] /home/dion/source/jakarta-commons/latka/target/latka-webapp.war info: validating taglib uri: /WEB-INF/struts-html.tld [struts10warvalidator] /home/dion/source/jakarta-commons/latka/target/latka-webapp.war info: validating taglib uri: /WEB-INF/app.tld [struts10warvalidator] /home/dion/source/jakarta-commons/latka/target/latka-webapp.war info: validating taglib uri: /WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld [struts10warvalidator] /home/dion/source/jakarta-commons/latka/target/latka-webapp.war info: validating taglib uri: /WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld [struts10warvalidator] /home/dion/source/jakarta-commons/latka/target/latka-webapp.war info: validating Struts Configuration [struts10warvalidator] /home/dion/source/jakarta-commons/latka/target/latka-webapp.war info: validating Struts Form Beans [struts10warvalidator] /home/dion/source/jakarta-commons/latka/target/latka-webapp.war info: validating form bean: 'logonForm', class: 'org.apache.struts.webapp.example.LogonForm' [struts10warvalidator] /home/dion/source/jakarta-commons/latka/target/latka-webapp.war info: validating form bean: 'registrationForm', class: 'org.apache.struts.webapp.example.RegistrationForm' [struts10warvalidator] /home/dion/source/jakarta-commons/latka/target/latka-webapp.war info: validating form bean: 'subscriptionForm', class: 'org.apache.struts.webapp.example.SubscriptionForm' [struts10warvalidator] /home/dion/source/jakarta-commons/latka/target/latka-webapp.war ended: war validation ended --- -- dIon Gillard, Multitask Consulting Work: http://www.multitask.com.au Developers: http://adslgateway.multitask.com.au/developers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

We've done the basics of war validation (making sure servlets defined exist etc, jsp files exist) as part of maven. It would be quite easy for us to add a validator to ensure a struts war is ok, e.g. struts-config refers only to classes in the war etc. Anyone want one? -- dIon Gillard, Multitask Consulting Work: http://www.multitask.com.au Developers: http://adslgateway.multitask.com.au/developers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [JS] Struts Resources
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The Atlanta Java Users Group (AJUG) has been building some web apps using Struts. Following the Struts examples, we put all of our display strings in a resource file. However, when we started testing our application, we discovered that any page which had a lot of labels was very slow when the labels were pulled from the resouce file. Yes, we tried it more than once.In particular we have a page with about 10 entry files followed by 30 or so check boxes, each with labels. When we had just the 10 entry fields, the performance was good. However, when we added the check boxes, the time to load the page through Struts was 45 seconds the first time and 17 seconds each subsequent time. When we hardcoded the titles in the JSP, then the load time was reduced to about 2 seconds. We have so many check boxes because we are soliciting user skills and preferences as part of a profile page. We would like to store the labels in the resources file; however, a 17 second load time is unacceptable. Any suggestions from the Struts gurus in the audience Any ideas on what appserver/platform this was running on? And a snippet of the page to show how you were using the message resources would be good too. Some jsp compilers/servlet engines do worse with custom tags than others.

Re: Digester and inheritance
Stacy Weng wrote:
I have a parent class called Component, and several child classes extending from it.
All the common get/set methods are defined in Component. So, after each child is
getting created from addObjectCreate() method, I call addSetProperties() method to
initialize their values (values are from the xml file), however, digester can't find
the set methods from the child class, cause they're defined in the parent class
(Component). The temporary solution I had was defining those set methods in the
child classes, and have them call the super methods. But that seems to defeat the
whole purpose of inheritance. Here's an example with the problem:
public class Component {
public String name = null;
public void setName(String name) {
this.name=name;
}
public void getname() {
return this.name;
}
}
public class ChildClass extend Component {
//Other methods that differ from parent class
}
Do you have any beaninfo classes coded/generated for ChildClass?
for the digester rules:
digester.addObjectCreate(ChildClassPattern, some.package.ChildClass);
digester.addSetProperties(ChildClassPattern);
so, as it gets to addSetProperties(), it doesn't see any of the get/set methods in
ChildClass, and yet, it doesn't know to look its parent class, Component.
I hope I'm able to get my problem across. Thanks again for taking the time to
respond.

(8.1) and in the corresponding section of the 2.0 spec, this has evolved to the more mealy-mouthed: The client of an entity bean may be a remote client or the client may be a local client. the point of location independence is that a client should not be concerned about where the method call is taking place. but, this has been built into the spec from day one. (RemoteException, RemoteHome, . . . ). The method call can take place anywhere, but always appears to be remote. That could be many remote machines though. Location independence is not about local vs remote, it's more about box1 vs box12. perhaps this is a trivial point, but it is misleading, misrepresentative, and is an example (IMHO) of how EJBs are successful at making things more complicated than they need to be. regards --e-- On Fri, 22 Feb 2002 08:55:52 +1100, dIon Gillard wrote: - location independence -- dIon Gillard, Multitask Consulting http://www.multitask.com.au/developers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

So tell me how using Struts+Tomcat+RowSet you get: - location independence - distributed processing - failover and clustering support - transactional object behaviour for non-data classes - pooled business objects Ans since you're using SOAP, how do you handle things like massive object creation issues on the SOAP Server?

Gabe was able to use this as a model for his own servlet. I believe that the X2 servlet in the article does basically the same thing. A ViewHandler is a class that would take the generic 'view details' from Struts, e.g. ActionForward and produce a view. Currently this code is coded in Struts in the RequestProcessor. To support XSLT transforms, we'd need a special request processor that used an ActionForward subclass to produce it's output.. For JSPs Struts bundles the RequestUtils class, which is basically a view helper for custom tags. But I think we could move toward providing a generic view helper object in the request that the Struts tags could use, and would also be useful in JSTL expressions, straight JSPs, Velocity templates, and basically any presentation layer that access objects in the request.

You can get HttpUnit from SourceForge at: http://httpunit.sourceforge.net/ I believe that it is primarily a functional testing tool. I would imagine that you could use it for load-testing... Regarding my original problem. The solution I am now pursuing, so far with success, is removing almost all of the application-specific meat from my Action subclasses. I will delegate to a simple command class from the action. The command class will take input paramaters, access the model layer to carry out the operation, and make available a logical forwarding name, result objects hash, and ActionErrors which can be accessed by the Action class following command execution. All that will be left in the Action class will be Struts frame-worky stuff. The consequence is that I can unit test the command independently with vanilla junit, without relying on a host of mock servlet / struts objects or an in-container testing framework. The only Struts object I'm going to allow the commands to work with is an ActionErrors instance. Removing that Struts dependency would be even nicer, in that you could then survive a departure from the struts framework with the vast bulk of your control layer logic unaffected. Easy to get rid of the ActionErrors and just have the command class save the keys of the errors in a collection... We'll see how this goes...

Struts Scalability in a Large Production Environment
What do you mean by simultaneous users? Do you mean 100 users all doing the same thing at the same time? In my practical experience, the performance is not limited by struts, but limited by EJB performance. We recently did stress tests on a struts-based site, and actions with no EJB component scaled to a much higher level than those with one. -- dIon Gillard, Multitask Consulting Work: http://www.multitask.com.au NetRexx: http://www.multitask.com.au/NetRexx.nsf - Forwarded by dIon Gillard/Multitask Consulting/AU on 26/07/2001 04:48 PM - Struts Scalability in a Large Production Environment All, I have been doing a lot of research into Struts recently. My question is about performance and scalability. First the definitions: Performance = good response time to users Scalability = good response time to a large number of simultaneous users. Usually this is a logarithmic curve that reaches a point where the server has difficulty sustaining the load. Struts will only be used for presentation logic. My Action classes in this framework will access separate business objects that will then access a BEA application server to perform the necessary business logic (EJB's) and return the results. This will be a large production environment with a large number of simultaneous users if we decide to implement this way. The Web servers will be load balanced. Even so, I don't want to implement a framework which requires me to throw a bunch of hardware at it after all is said and done. Does someone have some practical experience of the performance and scalability of the Struts framework with an overhead of 100 simultaneous users? What about 1000? Is there any kind of advice that anyone can offer me before I head down this path in relation to scalability?

How to integrate flash request into struts ...
Hello! I have a problem. A strange problem. I'm new to struts tougth i have a strong programming background. I wish to use flash with struts. What I want is to use the "loadVariables" function of flash. What this function do is to open a http connection to the server and read and process the stdout.(println in jsp). To do that i connect to a "jsp" file and pass variables in the http header (just as any HTML form) to the "jsp". My problem is the jsp file redirect the swf to the jsp and load the jsp in place of the swf. Can you help? Are there a way to connect and read to the jsp script without reloading the page just as I can do with ASP??? This trick work fine with ASP,CGI andother. What I would do in CGI is to write a script reading the query string and print out on the stdout. Without the swf to be reloading. Thank for any help or for pointing me somewhere I can find a solution!! Pi Guy
SV: Struts, EJBs and Pizza
Lots. - No java code in JSP pages is achievable if you're willing to write tags - Look for reuse between forms beans and between actions. - Call the same field the same name on all forms - Keep all data necessary to process the request either in the request or in an easily accessible bean. - Don't create transient beans to process requests - make them part of the form bean - Layer your application: Separate form beans from value objects - use factories.

Hi Darren,
we're using VAJ 3.5.2 Enterprise with Tomcat and Struts. First we tried to
run Struts 1.0b1 with Tomcat Test Env 3.1 but unfortunately Struts does not
work with Tomcat 3.1's XML-Parser. If you want you can make a XML
(javax.xml.*) SQL (javax.sql.*) package and put it into Tomcats ./lib
directory and add it to VAJ's classpath. But if you use Tomcat 3.2.1,
struts works out of the box - but not that comfortable as the Tomcat Test
Env does, e.g. you can't debug JSP and Servlet Code anymore :(((
I did a hack (in Tomcats WebReaderXML.java to enable jspPageCompiler
again) and added com.ibm.ivj.tomcat.IJVJavaCompiler again to re-enable
in-workspace JSP and Servlet Debugging.
Running Tomcat 3.2.1 in VAJ 3.5.x
~~~
In short:
0.) Prerequisites:
* latest jakarta-servlet-api _source_
* tomcat 3.2.1 binary distribution (includes ./src already)
* Tomcat 3.1 Test Environment from www.ibm.com/vadd (to get
com.ibm.ivj.tomcat.IVJJavaCompiler.java)
* struts 1.0b1 source distribution
1.) Install Tomcat 3.1 Test Environment look into
/path/to/vaj35/ide/features/com.ibm.ivj.tomcat/... to find
IVJJavaCompiler.java
2.) Start VAJ, do _not_ Add feature Apache Test Env 3.1!!!
3.) Create new Package, e.g. Apache_Tomcat_321
4.) Import all source from jakarta-servlet-api (do _not_ use servlet-api
from VAJ or other precompiled javax.servlet.* - classes; they _must_ be
compiled within VAJ Workspace to enable debugging of your own servlets and
JSPs) into your Project
5.) import following -- compiled classes (not source!) - from jasper.jar
and webserver.jar (both in tomcat-3.2.1/lib/)
jasper: all .class
webserver: org.apache.tomcat.logging.Logger,
org.apache.tomcat.logging.LogHelper, org.apache.tomcat.util.SimplePool
If VAJ still complains about missing classes (you see this in All
Problems - Tab) import compiled .class files from ./lib/*.jar until VAJ is
happy.
6.) create two classes: StartTomcat StopTomcat (code is the same for
both!)
public class StartTomcat {
/**
* StartTomcat constructor comment.
*/
public StartTomcat() {
super();
}
/**
* Starts the application.
* @param args an array of command-line arguments
*/
public static void main(java.lang.String[] args) {
// Insert code to start the application here.
try {
Class aClass = Class.forName(org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat);
java.lang.reflect.Method method = null;
Class[] argsClass = new Class[] { String[].class };

This can be downloaded for free from VADD at http://www7.software.ibm.com/vad.nsf/Data/Document4290?OpenDocumentp=1BCT = 3Footer=1 (note that you must register for VADD (free) to obtain this download). After running the Apache Tomcat Test Environment installation program, you must load the Apache Test Environment Feature using the FileQuick Start dialog. NOTE: I have NOT validated that EJB's work after you do this. That's on my to-do list for today Note that it is not possible to have both the WebSphere Test Environment's servlet engine and the Apache Test Environment co-reside in the same VisualAge workspace. The following set of instructions (provided by Sean Sundberg from the IBM WebSphere Services group) detail how to allow both EJB development using the WebSphere Test Environment and Servlet/JSP development using the Apache Test Environment: 1. Start from a workspace that does not contain the Apache Tomcat Test Environment. 2. Add the 'Websphere Test Environment' feature. 3. Delete the 'Servlet API' project from the workspace. 4. Add the 'Apache Tomcat Test Environement' feature. 5. Select 'Options...' from the 'Window' menu. 6. Select the 'Resources' menu option from the pane on the left. 7. Press the 'Edit...' button from the pane on the right. 8. Press the 'Add Jar/Zip' button. 9. Browse to the 'project_resources\Apache_Tomcat_Test_Environment\lib'. 10. Select 'servlet.jar' and press 'OK'. (This is required to generate the EJB code. The WTE requries some properties files from the servlets.jar file.) 11. Press the 'OK' button to commit the resource changes. The Persistent Name Server and EJB server can then be started to access EJBs. Servlets can now be accessed using the Apache Tomcat Test Environment Note that this procedure is also covered in the IBM Redbook by Bill Moore, et.al., " Migrating WebLogic Applications to WebSphere Advanced Edition", SG24-5956, available from http://www.redbooks.ibm.com.. Once you have verified that Tomcat is successfully installed and that you can serve pages from http://localhost:8080, then you are ready to proceed with the Struts installation. /NOTE Struts will require not only that you have a compliant servlet engine on your classpath, but that also you have a recent version of Xerxes in your classpath as well. You can either download these files from the Apache website, or you can simply install them from the VisualAge repository file that accompanies this article. Note that Xerxes cannot co-exist with the version of the IBM XML Parser for Java that ships with VisualAge for Java. You will have to remove it from the workspace as
Re: How to run Struts in VAJ
You've obviously not seen the many messages here about hassles running struts under WAS 3.5.x, including 3.5.3.

RE: WebSphere 3.5.3 problem
FWIW, the SYSTEM DTD issue is a twofold problem: a) The classloader returns a null for the URL provided b) Struts doesn't check a null for the inputstream.

I still needed the changed action servlet and also a change of the struts-config.xml to use a SYSTEM DTD rather than a PUBLIC one. It did NOT work out of the box. getResourceAsStream still appears to be broken in 3.5.3 How odd, because I am 100% sure that the getResourceAsStream works fine for us in 3.5.3! We used to have a patch for it when running 3.5.2, but all of us removed that patch when we upgraded, and it still works. I believe that we are using a system DTD though, but not because it didn't work otherwise. Oh, and we're running the advanced version of WAS. On the other hand, I'm not too surprised since we are experiencing strange behaviours with WebSphere every day. I sincerely think that just about any other application server out there must beat WebSphere in terms of productivity and ease of development.

WebSphere doesn't come with "a Model-View-Controller model (Model II) as a model for it's applications." out of the box. It's something IBM provide as a sample downloadable off the web.

If this is not the right place, could some please guide me to the right newsgroup for this. If it is then here's my question. I'm a new user to WebSphere/ IBM Visual Age and to Struts and I understand that WebSphere uses a Model-View-Controller model (Model II) as a model for it's applications. Now I am researching into wether we should use another MVC on top of this. Specifically my question boils down to : Is it a good idea to build an application from the ground up based on the Apache Struts Model? If yes then what is the use of the model that IBM already provides and if no then why not. Also if it's a good idea to use Struts then where can I find more information of using Struts WITH IBM Websphere? Thanks a lot, -- Anwar Mehdi, Sengen Inc. New Jersey, NJ. __ Do You Yahoo!?

ymtd.html - Stuts/JSP and Velocity/Turbine
quot;application" and you
change the bean class implementation, you may get a ClassCastException on
a later request" What does Velocity do in these circumstances? The
assumption here is that Velocity/Turbine doesn't allow reloading of
classes when they change which is not very friendly for developers.
Sample Application
--
* "This goes back to the statement that says that embedding Java code in your
page is a bad thing. Yes, we all know that now." How about issues that are
directly related to a template language?
* parse ("header.vm") - What is this doing in a View component?
* $toolbean.setToolsFile($application.getInitParameter("toolsFile")) - What
is a view component doing reading a properties file? This snippet looks
suspiciously like java code, without actually being java code. Why is java
code like getInitParameter being embedded in a template?
* What happened to the equivalent functionality being provided by
the JSP - e.g. a custom error page? What sort of output is produced if
toolsFile doesn't exist?
Taglibs
---
* "This really falls into a preferences situation. In other words, which
syntax would someone prefer to use?" What about familiarity for HTML
developers/ non-Java developers as was declared in the section on Error
Handling?
* "#set ( $list = ["First", "Second", "Third", "Fourth", "Fifth"] )" is
embedding template code into a page. This is as bad as embedding java
code.
* The sample application has been very simply rewritten in Struts.
A tool and toolList tag would be far more appropriate.
* "JSP and Struts into simply being a tool for creating only dynamic HTML
code" This is simply false. What about producing XML, WML etc?
Embedded Usage
--
* No comment
Implementation
--
* Putting down JSP as a specwhen Velocity doesn't yet have one
seems a bit rich.
* "Velocity is actually a more reliable implementation than JSP because there
is currently only one implementation" This says nothing to quality,
adoption or choice. It is also a strawman as Velcity can't be a reliable
implementation of a non-existent spec, and how can a single implementation
be considered more 'reliable' than all other implementations of JSP? This
is mere speculation.
Hosting
---
* " and the entire server will suddenly become useless, " What is a 'server'
in this context? A single machine? A single VM? This statement is making
some basic assumptions which may not hold for various 'hosting'
environments.
* "Velocity does not have this issue because there is no while loop in the
Velocity Template Language" but of course I'm free to provide my own via
various extension methods, true?
Conclusion
--
* A very one sided and almost Struts-less comparison.

RE: You make the decision Velocity/Turbine vs. Struts/JSP
Or to put it another way, Putting Velocity on top of Servlets doesn't fix the warts in Servlets. It simply hides them until your developers find them.

[snip] Putting Struts on top of JSP doesn't fix the warts in JSP. It simply hides them until your developers find them. Jon; if I read you correctly a JSP engine would be better for having its scriptlets capability disabled. Or less radically allow the it to be specified in the web.xml file that scriptlets are not allowed for a given web-app. I think I buy that. In retrospect I even wish I had been able to do that on a few JSP projects past. Joerg Beekmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] Previous Document Next Document Return to View
JUNIT and Struts
We use a JUnit extension (HttpUnit) to do all of our functional testing. We
can effectively 'fake' the user submitting a form, and check for page
results. We've added some code into a base test class so that we can use
methods like assertPageText("xyz") or assertPageError
("struts.resources.key").
This works very well.

We are using the XP development process(http://www.extremeprogramming.org/)

we develop our Struts web application. We need to write some tests in
JUnit(http://www.junit.org) to incrementally test as we write code. Has
anyone
ever used JUnit with Struts? Does anyone have any advice about how to
proceed
in coding these tests?

But here is the problem. I really want to use struts for the next project. And now I am deciding which app server. My boss wants to use IBM WebSphere. I don't know how good it is. The application we are going to develop is not that complex, and not mission critical. It will be hosted on Sun Solaris, developed on Windows NT , postgresql as back end, and Apache web server. For sure we want to use STRUTS, no matter what app server.
Struts and Turbine
I personally don't use anything from Turbine, because it's design seems to predicate certain skills and page concepts that don't necessarily occur in my projects. As for reusing code within Turbine, the major factor stopping me from doing that is lack of knowledge and accessibility. Having 'reusable' code stuck inside a project like Struts or Turbine limits its reusability. There's been lots of discussion on the general list about this recently. "user access control module?" I'd guess most struts users would have no idea that Turbine had one. Turbine's home page and features page don't mention "user access", but do mention ACLs and roles. The Velocity/WebMacro focus and deemphasis of JSP throughout Turbine made the impression on me that I'd be using technology that duplicate existing JSP/Struts concepts and make the project more complex. -- dIon Gillard, Multitask Consulting Work: http://www.multitask.com.au NetRexx: http://www.multitask.com.au/NetRexx.nsf
