Actions in Global forwards

global forwards with modules (Again)

[Matt Bathje]

Hi all. I asked this a while back and never got an answer, so figured I'd
ask again and see if there were any bites.

I am trying to have the admin area of my project use modules, but so far it
is a no go. I setup the module as:


  config/admin
  /WEB-INF/struts-config-admin.xml


and if I type urls under /admin/ into the location bar, they work. If I try
to use any of the global forwards I have defined in struts-config-admin.xml
though, they do not. This becomes a problem rapidly, because (like good
struts users) all of our javascript, style sheets, etc. are setup as global
forwards, and the index.jsp page under the /admin/ directory has


Any idea why the forwards aren't being followed, and how to correct the
problem?

I have tried changing that to forward="/admin/adminLogin" and that didn't
help either. Right now the forwards are setup like the following:



I have tried changing it to name="/admin/adminLogin",
path="/admin/login.do", and messing around with the contextRelative
attribute, and nothing seems to help - it always says it can't find the
forward.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,
Matt Bathje

global forwards and update problems

[Mathieu Grimault]

Hello everyone !

I've got a page A with a form with several fields, the fields are populated via the 
reset() method in a corresponding ActionForm, datas are holding in the session.
After filling/modifying the datas in the form a user push a submit and is lead to a 
screen B. The Action corresponding to the A screen replace datas in the session.
On the B screen while i'm using a global forward to back to A screen, old datas are 
displayed but datas in the session have been replaced ! I suspect a cache issue or 
something like that Somebody has an idea to handle this ? 

Are there issues using a forward with redirect=true ? what's the differences betwen a 
redirect=true or false ?

regards, mathieu.

RE: Global Forwards & Request Attributes

[Robert Taylor]

When you redirect the request, you lose any existing attributes.
If you must redirect then you could append your String value as 
a request parameter to the forward path or... you could simply
forward instead of redirect.

Global Forwards & Request Attributes

[Pat Quinn]

I have a struts action which sets a String value as an attribute in the 
request scope i then redirect to a global forward. But the value never 
appears in my jsp i'm using the  tag lib.

Any ideas what i could be doing wrong here or do global forwards support 
request attribute population??

RE: Global Forwards and Tiles

[Hue Holleran]

Hi David,

I think the fundamental problem here is that global-forwards are not
available to be called from outside the server. If one considers the URL one
might use to call global-forwards, e.g.:

http://myHost/myApp/myForward

... then this will not be passed-to struts - and will instead look for a
servlet mapping matching the "myForward" pattern - and probably won't find
one.

If you look at the result of a global-forwards/forward generated by say:

Forward Me!

... e.g. where the following configures the forward in struts-config to
forward to the "myAction" action:

...

...

...

...

... then it will likely be of the form when rendered to HTML:

Forward Me!

... then this _will_ go through the struts servlet and be correctly mapped
to an action.

If you wanted a way of configuring a method of calling any tiles def from a
jsp then one option would be to have a generic action than can fwd to the
tiles def, e.g. define a bean and action in struts-config:

...

...



...

...

...

...



...

...

The action code would look like this (ok, error handling could be a bit
tighter(!)) but this gives the idea:

package tld.domain.actions;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;

import org.apache.struts.action.Action;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;

import org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm;

public final class TilesDefFwdAction extends Action {

public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
 ActionForm form,
 HttpServletRequest request,
 HttpServletResponse response)
 throws Exception {
String tilesDef = "";
// Get our parameter(s) from the form
DynaActionForm dynaForm = (DynaActionForm) form;
try {
tilesDef = dynaForm.get("tilesDef").toString();
} catch (Exception ex) {
// Something went wrong - send to error page
return ( mapping.findForward("tiles-def-not-passed") );
}
// Forward to tiles def
return ( new ActionForward(tilesDef,false) );
}
}

This would then allow a URL of the following format, e.g:

http://www.domain.tld/myApp/do/tilesDefFwd?tilesDef=myDef

... that would then forward to the tiles def "myDef", e.g.

Forward Me To Tiles
Def!

Alternatively, there may already be a mechanism to do this natively in
struts - but have attached the above code as this is what I wrote when I was
getting to grips with forwards/actions/tiles-defs etc - and hopefully it
will be of some help!

Hue.

RE: Global Forwards and Tiles

[Witbeck, Shane]

My solution to this problem is not to define any global forwards and route
everything through an Action. If you are forwarding to a simple JSP defined
by a tile then define an action-mapping using a ForwardAction.

Shane

Are only Global Forwards legit for getInputForward()?

[Doyle, Michael J]

Hi,

I couldn't understand why my DynaValidatorForm was giving me a blank page
when validation failed. 

I had specified "/index.jsp" as my input. I figured out that a blank page
with no other exception means Struts can't find the path it's supposed to.

I found this bugzilla ticket
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17429
 

It suggests that getInputForward doesn't work, but creating a new
ActionForward with getInput as a parameter does. I tried this in an Action
class and found this to be true. But this didn't help -- Validator seems to
call getInputForward.

Well... struts-example declares a global forward "logon" and uses that as
the input for the logon page. I tried the same, it works.

So my question:

--> Must I declare a global forward and then use that as the input every
time I want to use the Validator?

Or

--> Is getInputForward() broken as suggested in the ticket?

Thanks
- Mike

FW: Find global forwards in individual module

[Zaili_Xu]

Hi, guys

We are using multi modules in Struts. We find a prolem in finding the global forward 
specified in the default config. For example, our UserProfileThanksAction is configed 
in profile module and "home" is the name of a global forward specified in the default 
config, when we say 

return mapping.findForward("home");

in UserProfileThanksAction the mapping is not able to find "home".

We are not using the switch action. Instead we are specifying modul prefix in config 
file. For example, 

What is the appropriate way to find global forwards in individual module ?

Thanks in advance for your response.

Re: [Q] Using tiles definition in global-forwards...

[David Graham]

Tiles in a global forward has nothing to do with the issue.  The 
 tag does not call Tiles to process a definition.  Tiles is 
only called through its customized RequestProcessor.  I advise against using 
the forward tag at all because that function is business logic that should 
be in an Action.

Try changing the path to /WEB-INF/pages/my.default or similar.  It may be
that the mappings pointer to where your my.default resides is not right, so
have a check on those as well.

REPOST - Using tiles mappings in global forwards

[White, Joshua A (CASD, IT)]

If the "forward" attribute of the action element can take both an actual
path or a tiles definition to forward to, shouldn't the global forwards
element have similar functionality?

In Chuck Cavaness's book (Programming Jakarta Struts), he attempts to do
this on page 347.  I just can't get it to work.  Is this perhaps
functionality which is now broken?

Joshua





I have successfully set up tiles using a tiles-def.xml file.  In this file,
I have set up a definition for "my.default".

I have been successfully able to view this layout by inserting the following
code into a jsp:
<%@ taglib uri="struts-html" prefix="html"%>
<%@ taglib uri="struts-bean" prefix="bean"%>
<%@ taglib uri="struts-tiles" prefix="tiles"%>


Again, this works fine.  I have been attempting to declare a global forward
mapping for the same layout:




I have inserted the following code into a jsp file to test the forwards:
<%@ taglib uri="struts-logic" prefix="logic"%>


When I hit the page containing this code, Tomcat gives me a 404 ("The
requested resource (/myapp/my.default) is not available.").  Whats happening
here?

When you reference the name of the Forward in your action servlet struts

RE: global forwards vs. simple forwards

[Lacerda, Wellington (AFIS)]

Hi Marcus

Global forwards are to be used when you have paths inside the application
that are recurrent and common to a number of actions. For example: logon.
Every sensitive action in the application will have to check the credentials
of the user, and if the user hasn't logged on yet, the application must
transfer him(er) to the logon page.

A regular forward ordinarily transfers control to some other component in
the application. Most commonly used to go to a view component. You can use
ordinary forwards instead of globals, but it will be redundant.

You can also use the same forward name of a global forward inside an Action
forward. In that case the Action's will override the definition of the
global for that specific mapping (which is the case in your example).

  Yes, the tag is able to generate an URL from a symbolic name, but 
there is no URL associated to a Tiles ! The path associated to a Tiles 
is the URL of the template to use. This template URL is used by several 
definitions, and can't be used in the link tag. What do you see for the 
URL generated by  from a definition name ?

The tag is processed on the server side but the actual result is an URL
which get sent back to the client within the HTML. That leads me to
think that the tag can generate a 'normal' URL from a symbolic name
perfectly well.

  Yes, the problem comes from  . It is not a bug: Tiles 
definitions name are logical names, not URLs.  require a real

Re: Using global forwards to tile definitions?

[Cedric Dumoulin]

  The  tag can't be used with a Tiles name as path. You need 
to use an intermediate action. An often used solution is to have an 
action taking a definition name as http parameter, like the tiles 
DefinitionDispatcherAction. This action should check if the provided 
definition name is allowed, otherwise it is possible to access all your 
definitions.
  Your global forward could now look like:

RE: global forwards in forms.

[Todd Pierce]

Thanks for the information, Ted. I note with amusement that the debate for
this feature is still warm ;-) I'd vote for it!

There's actually a feature requite there, but it's been marked "later".
A patch has also been submitted, but with everything else going on, I 
haven't been able to look at it closely enough to commit it.

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7202

I do agree that now that we can do things like specify the input 
parameter as a forward, it only makes sense to use these as the standard 
Struts URI wrapper. In the case of an Action form, it may still be a 
requirement that it resolve to an Action. But being able to flex the 
target of a form (without a RTE) makes it easier to share forms between 
workflows (see also #10550).

What really made be a believer is when I needed to change from 
application-based to container-based security. The targets of all the 
forms had to be changed to accomodate the URI pattern. The URIs may be 
virtual, but they are not logical. Other components have expectations 
about how they are used. If the targets of the forms had been specified 
as ActionForwards, I could have made ALL the changes from within the 
Struts configuration.

I understand, however I read in http://husted.com/struts/catalog.htm 

"Rather than embed the path to an ActionMapping in a JSP, a link should

I thought this was good advice. Also, since a form action is essentially a

we shouldn't be able to use a global forward here as well.

What global forwards give you is globally visible symbolic URIs.
In a sense, the actions are already globally visible symbolic URIs.

global forwards in forms.

[Todd Pierce]

To remove literal requests from JSPs I'm replacing them with global forwards
and using the link tag's forward attribute. However, there doesn't seem to
be a corresponding attribute for the form tag. How can you use global
forwards for form actions? I've tried using the forward name as the action,
but it throws a servlet exception.

I'm using Struts 1.1-b2

RE: Global-Forwards Question

[Jerry Jalenak]

Figured it out.

I needed to define the Action via a  tag in
struts-config.xml.  I only specified the path and type parameters.

Thanks for everyones input!

Trying to run multiple ActionServlet instances in the same web application
is going to cause you no end of grief, and is not a supported
configuration.  You should organize your app so that it uses a single
instance of the controller.

RE: Global-Forwards Question

[Jerry Jalenak]

Craig,

Sorry for the confusion - this is a bad use of terminology on my part.  I'm
not using multiple ActionServlets (i.e. controllers) - rather multiple
Actions as defined in struts-config by the  tags.

RE: Global-Forwards Question

[Jerry Jalenak]

No, I haven't.  Now that I think about this, my first two ActionServlets are
defined through the  tags in struts-config.  There is no
place where I define thirdAction.  Can I create a 'dummy' 
definition that only defines the path, name, and scope for the action?

RE: Global-Forwards Question

[Jerry Jalenak]

Yeah, I have.  Still doesn't seem to find the ActionServlet.  Since the path
parameter is for a relative path, I'm wondering if I need to further qualify
the path to the servlet (however I don't get any errors from Tomcat...)

Global-Forwards Question

[Jerry Jalenak]

Hi All,

Is it possible to use the mapping.findForward method to forward to another
ActionServlet?  I have two ActionServlets that both need to forward to a
third, common ActionServlet.  In my struts-config, I have the following
line:





where 'thirdAction' is the common ActionServlet.  In both of the other two
ActionServlet, I have

actionForward = mapping.findForward("thirdAction");
return actionForward;

It doesn't seem as though the forward is happening as I never get into the
'thirdAction'.  Can this be done this way?

Thanks!

If my web.xml is configured to route all /do/* requests to the 
ActionServlet, why should a link refer to a Global forward instead of to 
a for e.g. '/do/registration/capture'? I always thought that the 
forwards were used to select a jsp page or template.

Am I missing something here?

Any thoughts, ideas or enlightenment much appreciated!

Re: global forwards (Struts Catalog)

Hi Ted,

sorry to ask for clarification again and it's probably completely obvious
but I've overlooked it.  How can I specify the link from within a custom tag
(since the struts  tag) can only be used within a
JSP page and not in the body of doStartTag()/doEndTag()?  or can it?

Thanks for the quick reply before I appreciate it

global forwards (Struts Catalog)

[rob]

I was just reading Ted's Struts Catalog to improve the building of my struts
based application and I misunderstand the section on 'Use Global Forwards
for all entry points to application'

Also it says 'all links in the application should be to ActionMappings.
Rather than embed the path to
an ActionMapping in a JSP, a link should refer to a Global Forward instead.
This is what I either
misunderstand or can't get to work.

I have a global forward:


Now I have a custom tag that would typically generate links to /do/view but
would like to instead use
the global forward name view.

example where n is generated from some set (not using global forward):
item n
obviously this is the kind of link we're trying to avoid cause it's hard
coded to /do/view

So how do I generate a link that will follow / use the Global Forward?


Thanks

Global Forwards

Can a global forward point to a file in the WEB-INF directory?

You may need to url-encode the path here. Try ViewClip&streamMode

Try using "&" instead of "&" in your path.

GLOBAL FORWARDS

[chiji nwankwo]

Hi,
Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

Application developer (ibm) seems to be complaining about the use of a delimiter.  This is taken from within my strut-config file and I have an action called search.
Is it wrong to use more than one parameter.  It doesn't seem to complain when I use just one parameter.
Please helpThanks

Re: AW: global forwards for menu generation

[Jonathan M Crater]

there is no built in struts way (that i know of) to do this.  the action
servlet stores the global forwards collection in the servlet context, so you
have access to that collection from your web components.  once you grab it you
can simply use the iterate tag to spit out the values contained in the forward
objects it contains.

the main task of global forwards is to define commonly used request paths.

the input element specifies where the input of a form came from, and also
where the action servlet should forward back to should your action form's
validate method return a populated ActionErrors object.

AW: global forwards for menu generation

[storck]

How can I use global forwards for menu-generation?
What is the main task if global forwards?
For what is the input-property in the action-tag under action-mappings in
the struts-config.xml?

Betreff: global forwards for menu generation


i have found that my global forwards almost always contain my menu items,
and
thus it would be convenient to have an extra attribute on the forward
element
like "text" or "menu", the value of which could be presented in a jsp and
would
allow direct iteration through the forwards collection to generate a menu
based
on which forwards supplied a menu or text attribute.  right now i have to
hook
into the forwards collection externally, using text supplied from another
configuration file in order to avoid having the paths in two different
places in
my app.  has anyone else run into this?  is there a standard way that this
is
being handled?  if there is a reason why this is being avoided, i'd be
interested in hearing that as well.

Unfortunately, targets need to be specified by the client, not the
server.  For any one request, then, you're stuck with making a single
choice for where the response will be displayed.

Global forwards, targets and frames

[Kyle Robinson]

Is there a way to 
specify the target of a global forward?
I have a global 
forward which I want to go to another frame.  For instance in my action if 
everything works fine I want to return to the input page but if there is an 
error I want to go to another frame.  Any thoughts?
