RE: j_security_check
I'm on the phone with IBM at this moment. The scoop I got from searching the WEbsphere newsgroup was that 4.02 broke the forwarding for form-based security. That's what I was experiencing, and the message said that the fix was only available by calling IBM support. Supposedly efix PQ56667 fixes the problem. That's what I'm trying to get right now. I'll let you know if it works. I'm also experiencing problems (documented on this list) in that WebSphere handles responseRedirects differently than tomcat (you end up with duplicate context roots in the path ( like http://myapp.com/root/root/do/action ).

The idea being that the form objects are assigned a lower z index than the menu so the menu should display over all the form object elements. I've tried that w/ the following statement: div style=z-index:1 and wasn't able to get it to work. I've tried surrounding the entire form and just the offending form element, but neither way has worked. Has anyone been able to effectively make this type of workaround work?

custom tags: IBM 1.3 JDK vs SUN 1.3 JDK
I have a struts jsp page with a lot of custom tags; it compiles to around 40k. Under Win2k, when I set JAVA_HOME to run Tomcat 4.1 with the IBM 1.3 JDK, the page executes almost instantaneously, but when I set JAVA_HOME to the Sun JDK 1.3.1, it takes about 5 seconds to load. Does the IBM jdk handle the compilation differently (the compiled size is about the same either way), or is there a switch that's on by default with the IBM JDK that improves performance over the Sun JDK?

Custom tag performance
Title: Custom tag performance For a workflow system, I've created a custom tag (extending the struts BaseInputTag) that combines the functionality of the following struts tags html:text bean:message messages:present The custom tag has a property attribute and a key attribute (for the field label), and I modified the base tag readonly attribute so that it outputs the value in a span element if readonly is true, and an input element if readonly is false. The tag looks like this: ims:tradefield readonly=true width=85 key=trade.securityinfo.instrumenttype property=instrumenttype/ and produces output like this: trtd class=label align=rightInstrument Type/tdtdspan class=val style=width:85;EQUITY/span/td/tr In addition, the tag checks the ActionMessages collection to see if there is a message relating to this field, and if there is, it outputs the label in red. The tag works great; the problem is that my form has about 60 fields on it, and it's a bit slow. It seems like the custom tag approach produces a *lot* or repeated code. For instance, it looks like the ActionMessages collection is created anew for each tag. Ditto with the Action.MESSAGES_KEY bundle. Is there any way to create these things once at the top of the .jsp page, then just call them from the custom tag? Any other performance enhancing suggestions?

Populate ActionForm with an XML DOM object
I have a back-end data source that provides me with an XML object. I'd like to populate an ActionForm based on that XML. Is there sample code like this somewhere? Most uses of the Digester I've seen deal with loading config files, or an initial load of an in-memory database. Would the Digester be apropriate for this job in a high-volume environment? Other approaches anyone? (Apart from using XSLT. Seems like if I choose that route I lose the benefits of the ActionForm/Validation/Token etc.) Lee
Question about Ron Smith's Struts Transformer pkg
I just started looking at the Transformer package, which seems to fill a major hole in the Struts Framework. (I'm new to Struts as well, coming over from the Dark Side (MS)). My initial impression of the Transformer pkg is that it would not be called from the .jsp, but only from the Action, where it would be used both to transform the values from your ValueObj to your ActionForm, and then to transform incoming ActionForm fields back to your value object. So are the altered tags there mainly for items not included in the ActionForm? Is that why there is no htmlx:text tag? Sorry if my question is a little dense. Just trying to get my head around this. This is great work. Thanks to Ron for making it available!! Lee Torrence Princeton Financial Systems

RE: html:select and JavaScript problem
Well, I think first you'd need to change the name of the html:text element
to something other than artist to avoid javascript confusion. The value for
artist will be posted to the server by the html:select object.
(watch for line breaks)
script language=JavaScript
!--
function setArtist(control){
document.forms[0].artistReadout.value=control.options[control.selectedIndex]
.value;
}
//--
/script
PullDown and text field:
html:text property=artistReadout size=40/
html:select property=artist onchange=setArtist(this);
html:options collection=artist property=value labelProperty=label/
/html:select
The javascript event you want to use in onchange, not onclick.
The syntax to pull the value out of a select list is a little convoluted.
The relevant javascript objects are (assuming a select element called
mySelect):
mySelect.options = an array of the option elements
mySelect.selectedIndex = the index of the selected element
mySelect.options[mySelect.selectedIndex].value = the value of the selected
option

Options tag question
In reworking my Action classes, I tried to package all values needed for my form in the form bean, so I included a property that contains an ArrayList of LabelValueBeans. Can I refer to this property to populate the html:options tag? This nested syntax doesn't seem to work: html:options collection=brokerForm.brokers property=value labelProperty=label / Or should I go back to including the ArrayList as a request attribute and return it that way.

RE: which button pressed?
From an earlier thread, I think this works:
html:submit property=action
bean:message key=button.add/
/html:submit
But you need some mapping scheme if you don't know the language of the
string that will be returned.
I noticed that Ted Husted seems to lean towards including separate
formlets for each button, with the necessary parameters for the action in
hidden fields. Ted, care to comment on the benefits of that approach?

Action structure for CRUD
struts-newbie I used David Winterfeldt's Generator against a table called broker to produce a form bean, a broker bean, a broker_PK (primary key) bean, and a brokerjdbc bean (which contains SQL CRUD functions). Now I need to create the Action (or Actions) to handle these operations. I have looked at Ted Husted's Artimus app where he uses Helper Objects and creates one Action with multiple perform methods. I think I understand what's going on, but isn't there a simpler way? Is there anything wrong with just checking the request parameters within the Action to see which button was clicked and then call the appropriate method on the jdbc bean? Or is that a bad approach? /struts-newbie

Also, I'd like to identify if the browser will accept text/xml - should I
