Re: STRUTS with TORQUE

[Karim Saloojee]

Hi

We used Torque in two of our previous projects. As a persistance layer I
think its great, it was fast and easy to use - once its up and running. That
is probably the only issue, since the documentation is not always great with
Turbine and its sub-projects, that is probably where you might struggle. But
once its up and running, it works great, if you have issues, there is an
active mailing list (search the archives first).

We used an ERD tool to create the structure of our db, give Torque the DDL
and Torque would generate the java for the tables and an XML representation
of the db. Note this is not the recommended way, the recommended way us
XML --> DDL & JAVA source.

One may question the OO of the above methods, but they do work well in
practice.

How to re-direct from within and ActionForm

[Karim Saloojee]

Hi

How would one re-direct to an error page from within the validate method of
an ActionForm - this would be done when one encounters a serious exception
within the form?

TIA,
Karim

Re: selecting all the checkboxes

[Karim Saloojee]

Try the ff, you just have to modify the button to be a link

// Used to check all checkboxes in a form
function checkAll(field) {
  for (i = 0; i < field.length; i++) {
field[i].checked = true;
  }
}

// Used to un-check all checkboxes in a form
function unCheckAll(field) {
  for (i = 0; i < field.length; i++) {
field[i].checked = false;
  }

In the JSP

Re: AW: Refresh on MSIE, PLEASE HELP!! NOT SOLVED

[Karim Saloojee]

Hi

I know that in IE you sometimes have to set the response headers in Java,
e.g:

<%
response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
%>

Put that in skel.jsp.

One last thing, make sure you have cleared out your IE cache before
re-testing (Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files > Delete All Offline
Content > Ok).

Good Luck,
Karim

Re: [Our Practice]Collection Population Post-Validation Best Practice

[Karim Saloojee]

Hi

What we have done is introduce a ListManager class. This is a singleton
object that is accessible from the form via its superclass (our custom
superclass).

What we have done in our form is have two fields for a collection, i.e. our
dropdown list. The first field is used to populate the values of the list
and the second is used to store the selected value.

E.G.:
public Collection getListOfPeople() {
  return ListManager.getInstance().getPeople();
}

public String getSelectedPerson() {
  return selectedPerson;
}

public void setSelectedPerson(String selectedPerson) {
  this.selectedPerson = selectedPerson;
}

Our JSP is coded so that the setup of the dropdown calls getListOfPeople()
and the selected item populates setSelectedPerson(). The taglib allows this
Struts 1.1 b2.

This allows us to store the forms in the request and never have to worry
about pre-populating them, this seems to work very well for us.

I would appreciate feedback wrt this approach.

Regards,
Karim

Hey man, it's in the docs. Create an action wich prepopulates your form.

Re: Problem in submitting form in Struts 1.0.2

I do not think it is possible to submit a form from an href without using
javascript. Either use a button or javascript.

Setting the input from within the ActionForm in Struts 1.1 no longer allowed?

[Karim Saloojee]

Hi

Using 1.0 I had a situation where I used to dynamically set the input from within my 
ActionForm. In 1.1 (b2) this is no longer possible, since the configuration of the 
object is "frozen". An IllegalStateException is thrown and my app no longer works as 
required.

What is the suggested way to get around this? Should I reconfigure my app so I don't 
dynamically set the input, or is there another way in Struts 1.1 to dynamically set 
the input?

TIA,
Karim

Re: How to configure multiple Message Resources in Struts 1.0

Yep

I could customise the source to make pizza as well ; )

What I want to know is can the source make pizza currently and how do I

Substitute pizza with message resource bundles.

How to configure multiple Message Resources in Struts 1.0

[Karim Saloojee]

Hi

Is it possible to setup another message resources file in Struts 1.0? I need this 
because I want to display errors in a different way for a certain part of the 
application.
Basically I do not want the "Validation errors: Please correct the ff..." heading.

Since this is displayed automatically, the only way to get around this issues is use 
another message resources properties (at least that what it looks like to me).

Now how do I setup another message resources and how to I go about accessing it in my 
form bean?

Thanks in advance,
Karim

Re: Help needed with ActionForm Bean

[Karim Saloojee]

Try pre-populating the form i.e create the form, set its variables, put it
into the request, forward to the JSP.
For instance you have:

PageA.jsp
ProcessPageA_Action.java
ActionFormA.java

In the Action before you display PageA.jsp, create an instance of the
ActionFormA class, set the select box variable and whatever else you need.
Then put the ActionFormA object into the session/request under the key you
specified in the struts-config.xml. When PageA.jsp loads, Struts will find
the FormBean in the session/request using the key in the struts-config.xml
and populate the JSP from those values.

Re: Indemnification & copyright

[Karim Saloojee]

I also agree, the Struts coders would never be adding what amounts to
"stolen" code.

However if they did, it makes sense that Apache would be responsible not
company XYZ running struts 1.0

Why does your boss think this problem applies to OS projects only? You guys
surely have bought other "closed" software, what happens if your "closed"
software has violated some patent/copyright? What makes you so sure the
holders of the copyright wont sue your company for damages even if the
software was built by some other commercial entity and sold to you? The
situation would boil down to the same thing eventually.

Use Struts and dont worry, Apache will pay for everything. Worst case
scenario is that Apache will sell their URL to Larry Flynt and use the
proceeds to pay a couple of patent holders.

Re: Problems with Checkbox

[Karim Saloojee]

Hi

Since you say it works with multiple checkboxes but not one it might be
related to the way Javascript treats a single checkbox. I don't think you
can treat one checkbox as an array and test it as such. Print out the value
of "cartonquery.cartonselect.length" with one checkbox and you will see what
I mean.

Re: off topic !! please help

[Karim Saloojee]

The only way I can think of without making a server call is through
JavaScript.

When  the main text box value changes, (onChange event)  you can call a
Javascript function that would have 1 or more arrays. Based on the value of
the text box, you could find the corresponding location and machine no in
another array.

Using the values from the other array(s) you could set your other textboxes.

If you are having trouble with the Javascript, download a trial copy of
Dreamweaver MX, it comes with the Oreilly JavaScript guide.

Should I move to Struts 1.1 beta? How and why?

[Karim Saloojee]

Hi

I am fairly new to Struts and have been working on Struts 1.0. We have
started a new project and have done some (about 10%) of the work in Struts
1.0.

Struts 1.1 seems to have a lot of new functionality that would make our
lives much simpler, particularly ActionForms. The questions I have are:

1. Would it be feasable to move at this stage to 1.1, is the learning curve
steep and is it fairly backward compatible.
2. Is 1.1 beta being used in production systems, are there any stability
issues, can I be confident using it in a banking environment?
3. What are the best resources to find functionality, development tools and
best practises for 1.1.
4. How should I go about moving to 1.1 beta

Thanks in advance,
Karim

How to pre-populate forms without being able to get direct access to their names or scope. Am I missing something?

[Karim Saloojee]

Hi

I am having a bit of a problem understanding how exactly to pre-populate a
form bean. It seems there is no way to get the name of the formbean of my
next JSP or the session it is likely to be in.

I know that I could do it like this:
TestActionForm tf = new TestActionForm();
tf.setEmployeeNo("55525");
tf.setName("compaq");
request.setAttribute("testactionform", tf);

This would prepopulate my next JSP with no problems. However any changes to
bean names/scope in my struts-config.xml would require a change in my
classes where the above code would be.

This feels a bit strange, am I doing something wrong or not following the
best practice?

TIA,

Does Struts have a taglib for masking dates/currency amounts

[Karim Saloojee]

Hi

Does Struts have a masking facility for dates / currency amounts.

I need this because I need to display dates in a particular format
consistently and flexibly throughout the site. For instance the dates are
displayed as dd-mm-yy currently. I might be required to change the format to
/mm/dd across the whole site immediately.

I was going to write a custom taglib for this but I thought I would check to
see if Struts had some of this functionality built in.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Building a dynamic list of html (href) links from a Map

[Karim Saloojee]

Hi

I am trying to build a dynamic list of links (href's) from a map that has
been created in my Action class and put into the request for the JSP.

My map looks something like this:
key: Log On
Value: /logon.do
key: Display Users
value: /displayusers.do

Is there a way to use the  tag to build these links so that I
would get something like:
Log On 
Display Users

Is this possible or should I just use plain HTML to build the list of links?

Value of using one action per use-case?

[Karim D. Saloojee]

Hi

At a Java Conference it was suggested that when building web applications
with Struts it might be a good idea to use one action per use case.

In the action we have a number of different methods that would would be
executed depending on the parameters passed by the browser. The methods
would be automatically invoked by reflection.

Other than the "slight" performance hit due to reflection, would this be a
good idea? Why or why not?

DTD's not found in BES 5.0

[Karim D. Saloojee]

Hi

I am running Struts with Borland Enterprises Server (BES), version 5.0. I
have migrated an application that was deployed on Tomcat 4 standalone to
BES.

BES will not run the app, printing a parser error on startup about not being
able to find the dtd's for the struts-config.xml file. This stops the
servlet engine from coming up and thus my app refuses to work.

The struts jar is in the webapp, as well as any other required jars.

My understanding is that the ActionServlet re-directs the parser to the
srtuts jar for dtd's. What could be causing BES not to find the DTD's?

Regards,
Karim

Exception display (using Tiles)

[Karim D. Saloojee]

Hi

I have a question on how Tiles and Struts propogate exceptions. If for
instance, I have a an exception in my body jsp, unless I declare a JSP error
page in that body, my error page will not display.

Is there a way to declare a JSP error page in the layout and then have all
the pages which use that layout use the same JSP error page?

Could someone clarify this behaviour? I have a hunch on how it works but I
would like to be certain.

Thanks
Karim

RE: storing data beyond single page scope without commiting to database

[Karim D. Saloojee]

Hi

Note, I am a newbie.

Nonetheless, have you tried storing the form-bean for Object A in the
session (struts-config)? Then in another action say ten screens down the
line you can retrieve it from the session and work with it there.  Once you
are finished, you can remove it from the session if you want.

Subject: storing data beyond single page scope without commiting to

Subject: storing data beyond single page scope without commiting to database
From: Simon Kirk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
 ===
Hello all,
I have a system where I am creating an object with a certain amount of
data, let's call it object A. It references to one or more object Bs that
can be said to 'belong' to it. Let's say that there are not any object Bs
that fit the criteria of what I want, so in my form to input an object A, I
have a button to add an object B to go with it.

What I could do is when I click the button to create a new
object B, I submit the data so far entered for object A and store the data
in a database. I then enter my data for object B, submit, and get taken
back to object A where my form entries are restored, together with the new
object B in, say, a drop down list. However this raises the problem that
the data for the incomplete object A could become available to other users
unless I put in an 'active' flag or something like it so that until I
finally submit the data for object A other users can't see it.

What I would *like* to do is store the data for object A in the form bean
for it and retrieve it later on after creating object B. This seems to be
an issue of scope. I feel this is probably something people have done a lot
before, but I can't find anything that concisely and clearly explains it on
the struts website. Can anybody suggest something, or point me in the
direction of things to read?

Incidentally, I suppose one way around it would be to maintain a database
connection and only commit my changes for the object A on completion of
submission for both A and B, but I'm using a database connection pool
anyway which would negate this, no?

Many thanks for any help.
Simon

ActionServlet - thread safe instance variables

[Karim D. Saloojee]

Hi

As a newbie to Struts (coming from a Turbine background) I was hoping
someone would clarify the design issues with having instance variables in
the controller servlet.

Does this not pose thread safety issues? If so, how does one deal with them?

Turbine took the easy way out and declared only local (method) variables,
thus ensuring a thread safe controller servlet.

Is the reason why ActionServlet uses instance variables because in theory
one could have two ActionServlet instances with different url patterns in
the same webapp? Is this a common practice or is it not recommended?

I have not had any luck finding answers to this question in the mailing list
archives.

Could someone point me to a resource where I could find the information I
need or even give me a brief explanation.

Thanks in advance
Karim

Re: mapping not found?

[karim]

your listCDForm needs a Form Bean Definition in the struts-config.xml file.

should look something like this:

Hi,

I'm new to struts
I installed tomcat4.0-b6(.exe) on windows98
