Posting whats in your validation.xml for the form and the bit of your jsp
with your select fields would be helpfull.

If you take the "fromDay" as an example, you are using
field.getVarValue("fromDay")  - if you don't have a "var" defined in your
validation.xml for "fromDay" then that would cause the "No Name Specified"
error - same goes for "fromYear", "toMonth", "toDay" and "toYear".

As for getting nulls, looks to me again that whats specified for the "vars"
in your validation.xml doesn't tie up with the names specified on your form.

>From your code I would expect something like the following in your
validation.xml



fromDay
  formFromDay

fromYear
  formFromYear

toMonth
  formToMonth

toDay
  formToDay

toYear
  formToYear




Do you have the properties in your form correct (i.e in this example
formFromDay, formFromYear, formToMonth, formToDay, formToYear).

Subject: Struts Validator and Select boxes


Hi,

I am using Struts validator.
One page of mine has dates displayed as "MM"  "DD" "".
All the above 3 are displayed in seprate combo/select boxes.
I need to do some custom validations on these fields.
I wrote a custom class for the same
Looks like -
   public static boolean validateDates(Object bean,
ValidatorAction validatorAction,
Field field, ActionErrors errors,
HttpServletRequest request)
   {
  String actionType = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue("actionType")); // A hidden form field
  String fromMonth = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getProperty());
  String fromDay = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue("fromDay"));
  String fromYear = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue("fromYear"));
  String toMonth = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue("toMonth"));
  String toDay = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue("toDay"));
  String toYear = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue("toYear"));

  System.out.println("actionType " + actionType);
  System.out.println("fromMonth " + fromMonth);
  System.out.println("fromDay " + fromDay);
  System.out.println("fromYear " + fromYear);
  System.out.println("toMonth " + toMonth);
  System.out.println("toDay " + toDay);
  System.out.println("toYear " + toYear);

  return true;
   }

O/P of the above code -
actionType searchPage
fromMonth 2
fromDay null
fromYear null
toMonth null
toDay null
toYear null

It also gives me "No Name Specified error".
Point to note is that the all other fields other than 'actionType' are
select boxes. It gives a null for all the field types that are of
html:select.
Is this a known BUG or am i going wrong somewhere ?

RE: Help on struts

[Shoaib]

Thanks for your guidance.
You are right , we are in the case where user will come back from search
page.
I will try as you suggested and give feedback.
 
Regards
Shoaib
 
 
 
I guess the first thing to consider is what you mean by "come back to
the
previous page".
Do you just mean have the user redirected back to that url when they
have
finished playing with the search? or is it more complex. For example the
previous page is a form, and they are halfway through filling it in when
they need to search, and on completion need to take up where they left
off
with filling it in?
 
In the first case the easiest way (Im assuming there are multiple places
that send you to the search page) might be to have the link to the
search
page add a parameter to the url containing the name of an ActionForward
that
will take the user back to this page.
 
The search page can make note of this forward name, and when the user is
finished searching can look it up and return it as the forward from the
searchs action.

  The way I presented to you is the cleaner one :)

  If you define the put declaration in Tiles it will always be static (at
least for what I understood and read so far).

  If you want to make a tiles attribute dynamic, you must specify and
implement the tiles controller (described in the other mail).

  The not so "clean" solution is to use a tiles template with a  inside.

> what do you think?

  I guess this is not a question of what I think... It is more of how it
works :)
  This could be a nice feature to Tiles though.

  One could implement a Tiles controller that made this possible. You just
needed to parse all of attributes for ${scope.Attribute} values => it would
be inneficient most of the attributes are static. If the put declaration had
a dynamic attribute (true/false) it would certainly much more
interesting/efficient. Maybe I will try and do this on my weekend ;)

Right, but I was running into trouble with where to put my #value#. 
Did you have anything like that in there?  I tried stuff like

When the user clicks one of those, Struts will populate the form
associated with (I assume) PrepareSearchAction.  Does the mapping for
that have a 'name' attribute?  Does that Form have get/setSearchType
methods?

If you need to "remember" data, it's often easiest to put the Form bean
in session scope.  And you can associate one Form to several different
Actions if it makes sense for your application.  Some people will argue
against session scope, so you may want to consult the archives and see
if their reasons apply to your situation.

That will just magically happen if you let Struts populate the form from
the query string parameter and then use the same Form bean when you
display your HTML form using the JSP.

Rather than confuse the issue, if you still need help, post your
struts-config.xml so we can see what you've got.

RE: Populating a Listbox

[Colm Garvey]

I've come across this in a few difference manifestations and the best
course of action I've come across is dependant on the number of variations.

If you're only talking about a couple of hundred or less, use a javascript
array to populate the second dropdown on the fly.

If you're dealing with more than that [6,000 in my case :)] then you're
better
off using an onChange event handler on the first dropdown to submit the page
back to itself and use the action to generate the 2nd one from the database.
By default, I set the first dropdown to the 1st value and populate the 2nd
one based on that selection.

I need to populate some lisbox from database at runtime.
Also, there are situations when I populate one list box depending upon the

I am using DBCP to connect to mySQL

1)Are there any special tags available in Struts?

2)Can any one suggest a most efficient method to do this, so that there is
minimum fetching from database.

Also please let me know the syntax of populating the listbox and the event
on which it is to be populated, since I have never done it before.
A small sample code(If you have tried it earlier) would help more.

RE: newbie html-el question

[Bender, James]

Hi Wendy,

Thanks for responding!  Someone showed me a way to do what I needed to do,
but the way I'm approaching the entire problem may be kludged:

The user can click

Search Attributes | Search Components | Search Templates

I've provided html:link's like these respectively:

doPrepareSearch.do?searchType=attribute |
doPrepareSearch.do?searchType=component |
doPrepareSearch.do?searchType=template

so when they user lands on my form, I want to prepopulate the search type
based on what they chose.  If they submit a search with bad data, then I'd
want the SearchForm's (extends ActionForm) validate() method to send the
back to the search form, this time keeping their most recent entries to the
form field -- if they changed search type for example now it would be
different.  

I am new to Struts and may not be getting a key concept of it's Best
Practices usage.  Does it make sense what I've described?  Thanks again!,

Jim

You wouldn't, you'd set the property of the Form bean and let Struts
handle it.  

If you need to pre-populate the form, you do that in the Action by
calling setSearchType() on your Form bean.  Then when you forward to the
JSP, Struts will fill in the value.

Can you explain more about your situation?  I'm making some assumptions
that may not be correct.

In general there's no need to touch the 'value' attribute of the tags
that render HTML form elements.

I'll go out on a limb here and say that since the
response is being generated on the server by a servlet
or JSP, there is no need for getHeader() or
getHeaders() methods because the developer is setting
them. The HttpServletResponse interface has
addHeader() and addXXXHeader() methods to add headers
to the response. There is also the containsHeader()
method which returns a boolean.

RE: Pls help me in configuring common logger

[Van Riper, Mike]

Sougata,

I can point you in the right direction, but, I don't have time to spell
everything out for you. I think you need to do some work on your own reading
the commons logging docs. You need to  understand the commons logging
package and how to configure it to use log4j or the native logging
facilities in JDK 1.4. When I mentioned the simple logger, I was referring
to this implementation of org.apache.commons.logging.Log:

  org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog

If you are using the commons logging package, it has a properties file you
can use to specify which Log interface implementation to use. I could be
wrong, but, when this file is not provided my experience has been that it
will automatically detect the presence of a properly configured log4j and
instantiate a org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger. If a properly
configured log4j is not detected, it will default back to the SimpleLog
implementation.

Good Luck, Van

we have a same kind of statement in our xml file and it looks like this:



 SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE column_name LIKE '%';



Pay attention to the single quotes around the %-sign!

Good luck!

Cheers,

Ronald

In this cases there is not, although this has been discussed just 
today on struts-dev:

In short, you're right that there should be a way, but it hasn't been

You wouldn't, you'd set the property of the Form bean and let Struts
handle it.  

If you need to pre-populate the form, you do that in the Action by
calling setSearchType() on your Form bean.  Then when you forward to the
JSP, Struts will fill in the value.

Can you explain more about your situation?  I'm making some assumptions
that may not be correct.

In general there's no need to touch the 'value' attribute of the tags
that render HTML form elements.

"searchType" should be saved as an attribute of (preferably) your request
object. Actually, a local variable should also work, you can define it using
the  JSTL tag.

Actually, you shouldn't need to specify a "value" here at all. The
 tag will get the default value from your form bean.

Re: [OT] JTA, JDBC and data persistence

Freddy,

You may want to take a look at Hibernate (http://www.hibernate.org), if you
haven't done so already.

Hibernate is a persistence mechanism which utilizes XML mappings to map
Java objects to relational database schemas, and does support cascading
deletes, amoung other things.

Hello everybody,



An off-topic question (it's Friday, I hope you accept it!):



I want to implement a Business Object Model on top of many DAOs. Those
BOs will be - obviously - related to each other (mainly 1:n and m:n
relationships).



I must implement this in such way that, when - for example - deleting a
BO that has 3 children associated (therefore, those must be deleted as
well), it's is possible to do so atomically. That is, I need to be able
to delimit the beginning and the end of the transaction that spans the
delete operation on those 4 objects.



I want this to be as transparent and "elegant" as possible. I believe
the right choice for solving this is using JTA objects (that is "XA"
objects) instead of plain JDBC. I've been reading the API and some
papers regarding JTA; I have a fundamental doubt:



Does JTA allows me to delimit (and perform) 2 independent, yet
concurrent transactions??? For instance: 2 users that click the "delete"
button at the same time (it's a web application).



I haven't seen anything like a transaction ID or similar on any example
I've examined. Is this issue transparent to me? Is JTA able, in any way,
to differentiate the Transaction begun from each user's corresponding
instance of the respective BO (the one they wanted to delete... i.e. the
father, not its children)???



I'd appreciate any light you can shed on this matter.



Thanks and regards,

Freddy.

Re: [OT] JTA, JDBC and data persistence

[Bill Siggelkow]

Freddy, I think you only need to look into using JTA and XA transactions 
if you are spanning multiple data sources (databases).  If you are not, 
then I would look into using an Object-relational mapping tool like 
Hibernate or OJB to do what you want to do.  These tools usually provide 
 support for transactions, in addition to providing a mapping layer for 
your objects.

Re: Why there is no getHeader(String headerName) and getHeaders() met hod in HttpServletResponse?

[Richard Yee]

Larry,
I'll go out on a limb here and say that since the
response is being generated on the server by a servlet
or JSP, there is no need for getHeader() or
getHeaders() methods because the developer is setting
them. The HttpServletResponse interface has
addHeader() and addXXXHeader() methods to add headers
to the response. There is also the containsHeader()
method which returns a boolean.

James, did you post this on struts-user yet?  Unless there's more to it
than I initially see, I think it belongs over there rather than the
developers list.
If I did it right, the reply-to is set there.

The usual way to do this is to populate the Form property in your Action
code, and then when you forward to the JSP containing the 
tag, Struts will render the HTML for the form element, including the
value.  Note that Struts automatically populates the form from the
request attributes when the user submits the form.  I'm not sure whether
you're trying to pre-populate, or to redisplay user input.

This assumes that you are forcing users to go through the Action (not
letting them go directly to the JSP).  More information will help us
here, I'm avoiding answering your actual question since you did say
you're new to Struts...

If you do find yourself needing to pull things out of the
request/session, the Struts-EL tags will be useful--

The Struts-EL is what I'd recommend, which supports exactly what you want to

${accounts.number}

Otherwise I _think_ I've done this nastiness and it worked, but I might have

There was a thread that discussed this, with the last few messages (of that
thread) still coming in today.  Just look for that.  Richard Yee pasted code
there on how to instantiate a Dyna Bean.  I also pointed to an archive where
I pasted the code I use in my apps to instantiate a Dyna Bean.
Right now, you can look up a FormBeanConfig object from a 
ModuleConfig, and then you can use the FormBeanConfig and the 
ActionServlet to get a new ActionForm instance from RequestUtils. 
This does not go through the request/session scope searching that 
Struts uses when it processes the request parameters into a populated 
ActionForm.

Given the fact that this has come up three or four times in the last 
week, it seems clear that it's time to expose a simple method that 
takes a form bean name and a scope and either finds or creates that 
form bean.  I'm just waiting for a few things to settle down -- 
there's going to be a Struts 1.2.1 release pretty soon now, and we 
have to move the CVS repository to a new location as part of Struts 
becoming a top-level Apache project...  but that stuff should get 
straightened out in the next week or two.

the

HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest)request;

Subject: RE: How does ActionForm data pass through container called form
based login page?

Well I've just simplified by login form  - plain html - no struts stuff
going on.

I've also simplified the filter so detects a fresh logon and starts a
session accordingly - no longer any redirecting to LoginAction.

However the critical behaviour is still the same - existingCustomerForm
- the one I need to survive the login process still ends up getting
trashed.

I'm wondering if I have to make every form (that might span a session
timeout) part of the login page so that it stays alive - this sounds
like a ridiculous solution.  Has anyone else got a solution?

Thanks

[Pady Srinivasan]

We were going to implement this today or early next week :-)...looking at
the code, I feel you don't need to extend ActionServlet at all. Instead the
filter will create the request before forwarding to the ActionServlet.

public class LoginFilter implements Filter {
  public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
   FilterChain chain) 
throws IOException, ServletException {

HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest)request;
ServletContext context = filterConfig.getServletContext();

If ( !loggedIn ) {
// save all parameters to session
// save current URI as REDIRECT_URI in session
// redirect to login action
} else if ( redirectUriIsSet ) {
RedirectServletRequest newreq = new

RedirectServletRequest(request);
Chain.doFilter(newreq, response);
}
}

Yeah, but there are some basic limitations to the container managed 
security model, and I haven't heard any signs that they are being 
addressed.  For example, container managed security doesn't allow you 
to present a login form to a user as a component of any page besides 
the single registered form, and it doesn't allow you to server 
resources from one path with two different states, "user authorized" 
or "not authorized"...  Both of those are standard in modern webapps, 
but there's no clean way to handle them using container managed 
security.  (I saw a JDJ article last year that had some work 
arounds...)

So that said, it may not be surprising that the container managed 
security model also has no support for continuing the flow of request 
data to the originally requested URL after logging in.

Re: Struts Validator and Select boxes

[Niall Pemberton]

Posting whats in your validation.xml for the form and the bit of your jsp
with your select fields would be helpfull.

If you take the "fromDay" as an example, you are using
field.getVarValue("fromDay")  - if you don't have a "var" defined in your
validation.xml for "fromDay" then that would cause the "No Name Specified"
error - same goes for "fromYear", "toMonth", "toDay" and "toYear".

As for getting nulls, looks to me again that whats specified for the "vars"
in your validation.xml doesn't tie up with the names specified on your form.

>From your code I would expect something like the following in your
validation.xml



fromDay
  formFromDay

fromYear
  formFromYear

toMonth
  formToMonth

toDay
  formToDay

toYear
  formToYear




Do you have the properties in your form correct (i.e in this example
formFromDay, formFromYear, formToMonth, formToDay, formToYear).

Subject: Struts Validator and Select boxes


Hi,

I am using Struts validator.
One page of mine has dates displayed as "MM"  "DD" "".
All the above 3 are displayed in seprate combo/select boxes.
I need to do some custom validations on these fields.
I wrote a custom class for the same
Looks like -
   public static boolean validateDates(Object bean,
ValidatorAction validatorAction,
Field field, ActionErrors errors,
HttpServletRequest request)
   {
  String actionType = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue("actionType")); // A hidden form field
  String fromMonth = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getProperty());
  String fromDay = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue("fromDay"));
  String fromYear = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue("fromYear"));
  String toMonth = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue("toMonth"));
  String toDay = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue("toDay"));
  String toYear = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,

field.getVarValue("toYear"));

  System.out.println("actionType " + actionType);
  System.out.println("fromMonth " + fromMonth);
  System.out.println("fromDay " + fromDay);
  System.out.println("fromYear " + fromYear);
  System.out.println("toMonth " + toMonth);
  System.out.println("toDay " + toDay);
  System.out.println("toYear " + toYear);

  return true;
   }

O/P of the above code -
actionType searchPage
fromMonth 2
fromDay null
fromYear null
toMonth null
toDay null
toYear null

It also gives me "No Name Specified error".
Point to note is that the all other fields other than 'actionType' are
select boxes. It gives a null for all the field types that are of
html:select.
Is this a known BUG or am i going wrong somewhere ?

It may be a little ridiculous, but if the security implementation 
doesn't pass along form data when it forwards to the intended 
destination, then there's not much you can do about it.

I'm assuming that the container is intercepting before Struts ever 
gets a chance to create an ActionForm based on the submission, so I 
don't think that making them session scoped is likely to help.

This probably doesn't constitute a solution, but perhaps extending 
the session timeout would help a bit.  Perhaps you could come up with 
some kind of javascript hack which calls a URL against the struts app 
periodically to keep the session alive?

sougata, if you're using Log4j you need to add a file called
commons-logging.properties file under your WEB-INF/classes directory.  In that
file you need one line:
org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger

Its been my experience that the commons logger does not actually default to
Log4j if its available.

Here is an example of a log4j.properties file:
log4j.rootLogger=ERROR, A1, A2

log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n

log4j.appender.A2=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.A2.file=[file path]
log4j.appender.A2.append=true
log4j.appender.A2.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout 
log4j.appender.A2.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n

The first one is configured for standard out.  The second one writes logs to a
file [file path].  This file should also go under WEB-INF/classes

I developed my app with the StrutsStudio, as it is not that complex. But
know I have 
to run it on WSAD and run into different problems:

a. WSAD did not like the validation.XML 
   (so deleted it cause I did not use it anyway)

b. I use iBatis for the DB stuff and iBatis needs a newer JDOM version. 
   (so I integrated that and the coresponding DTDs for iBatis, as I was 
not able to referenc it from the net)

so far everything seams to work, but know I got some straing error messages,

that i did not define my ibatis xml  files correctly?!?

But the same app works fine on a Tomcat-Server!


I read in Hubert Rabago mail:

And thought that this could be a way to solve my problem, but did 
not find the right spot to enabel the validation.

DAMM I allways thougt that using Java would enable me 
to create  a *.war fiel and run it on any Java-application Server!

RE: How does ActionForm data pass through container called form based login page?

[Martin Alley]

Well I've just simplified by login form  - plain html - no struts stuff
going on.

I've also simplified the filter so detects a fresh logon and starts a
session accordingly - no longer any redirecting to LoginAction.

However the critical behaviour is still the same - existingCustomerForm
- the one I need to survive the login process still ends up getting
trashed.

I'm wondering if I have to make every form (that might span a session
timeout) part of the login page so that it stays alive - this sounds
like a ridiculous solution.  Has anyone else got a solution?

Thanks
Martin

Subject: How does ActionForm data pass through container called form
based login page?

Hi,

Suppose I've got a web based form that posts data to an action, and I
have that action protected by container form based authorization - how
does the ActionForm data get through.

I have a situation like this, and my ActionForm is empty after I've been
through the form-based login page.

One could say - stick the input form in the constrained area also, so
the login page doesn't come between the input form and the action that
processes it - but this is actually occurring when a session times out
whilst sitting at the input form.

Thanks
Martin

The simple logger that is included in the commons logging package doesn't
support logging to a file, just to the console. You need to understand that
it is primarily intended to provide the common logging API (the simple
logger is included just to get you started) and then you configure it to use
whatever logging facility under the covers that you want to. Most people use
log4j, but, you could also use the native logging support in JDK 1.4 or
greater.

I recommend configuring to use log4j. I also recommend taking the time to
read the short intro manual to log4j found here:

http://tinyurl.com/3hlrq

I recently posted the contents of a simple log4j configuration file that
does have an example of the necessary configuration to write log messages
both to the console and to file. Check the list archives for a recent post
on logging by me. I use this setup with Tomcat and Weblogic. The one
configuration difference I found is that Weblogic doesn't like relative file
paths for location of log files and Tomcat handles that just fine.

Good luck, Van

Mike "Van" Riper
Silicon Valley Struts User Group
http://www.baychi.org/bof/struts/

P.S. You can either remove the commons logging properties file or explicitly
configure it to use log4j. As long as you setup log4j properly in your
runtime environment, the commons logging logic will use it by default unless
you have a commons logging properties file that explicitly specifies a
different logger implementation.

RE: Handling Date objects in ActionForm gracefully

Cool!

No offence, Mark. In part, it's my fault since English is not my native

changes the connotation of a phrase. Sh*t happens! :)

I believe yours is a valid approach (in fact, was one of the options I
was considering for the project we're about to begin). In any case, I'd
appreciate if you or anybody else would share any other views / opinions
about this issue (s) -- or any other related...

There is a general problem where input would be better validated in the

You can and people do use different types for form beans, but I just
don't see the point. Date comes up often and lets face it dates are
more user friendly as dropdown menus rather than free text, so
getDay() , getMonth() and getYear() IMO are a simpler way of going

on that, or have a util class in the web tier as you can deal with
validating the three values. Perhaps even have a date that's in you
form bean but is set and got (passed participle of get) via string
flavors day, month and year.
Not sure if this works but I think the idea is valid (corrections
welcome).
public class SomeForm extends ActionForm {

	private Calendar aDate = Calender.instance();

public String getDay() {
int d = aDate.get(Calendar. DAY_OF_MONTH);
return Integer.toString(d);
}
public void setDay(String day) {
aDate.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,Integer.parseInt(day));
}
...
protected Date getAdate() {
return dDate.getTime();
}
}
This way come checking and comparing values before can be done, before
passing anything up to you model. Many folk would say that this should
be done in the model, but i'd say situations where you need to check if
a user has entered a valid date (e.g. expire and from dates with a

I think the way of going about converting is pretty open, either have 
some conversion utils between the web tier and the model. I tend to do 
it in the action and then when things get long or i need the code again 
move it out into  a util class or like you're saying make my model util 
classes deal with strings (this makes a lot of sense as then other 
front ends can be plugged on).

Talk of MVC aside (after all MVC is a broader issue than the particular 
pattern that struts is based on) why piss about dealing with all sorts 
of errors and exceptions being thrown in the place where its hardest to 
deal with them?

You can and people do use different types for form beans, but I just 
don't see the point. Date comes up often and lets face it dates are 
more user friendly as dropdown menus rather than free text, so  
getDay() , getMonth() and getYear() IMO are a simpler way of going 
about things. Then have methods in you model that create a date based 
on that, or have a util class in the web tier as you can deal with 
validating the three values. Perhaps even have a date that's in you 
form bean but is set and got (passed participle of get) via string 
flavors day, month and year.

Not sure if this works but I think the idea is valid (corrections 
welcome).

public class SomeForm extends ActionForm {

private Calendar aDate = Calender.instance();

public String getDay() {
int d = aDate.get(Calendar. DAY_OF_MONTH);
return Integer.toString(d);
}

public void setDay(String day) {
aDate.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,Integer.parseInt(day));
}
...
protected Date getAdate() {
return dDate.getTime();
}
}

This way come checking and comparing values before can be done, before 
passing anything up to you model. Many folk would say that this should 
be done in the model, but i'd say situations where you need to check if 
a user has entered a valid date (e.g. expire and from dates with a 
credit card).

This functionality will want to be produced even if you change the 
model , if you wanted to demo your web tier on its own (without a model 
e.g acme ltd credit card form)  and therefore doing it ONLY in the 
model would be limited.

Very much IMO and I'm not MVC guru, but that's my understanding.

RE: Handling Date objects in ActionForm gracefully

[Joe Hertz]

Since I just wrestled greatly with this particular beast, my $.02 follows.

Subclass whatever flavor of ActionForm you use, and give it a method with a 
footprint like-

java.util.Date StringToDate(String) 
{
}

This way you can do something like this in your action:

public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception
{
  Myform mf = (Myform) form;
  BizObject bo = new BizObject();
  String dateText = mf.getDateString();
  bo.setDate(mf.StringToDate(dateText);
  // etc
}

This works very well unless internationalizing your app because the converter 
needs a DateFormat defined to read the String correctly. And I am, so I need 
to come up with something.

I don't suppose there is a version of BeanUtils that lets the user pass a 
DateFormat into copyProperties :-)???

RE: problem with module

[Colm Garvey]

I've just finished fixing what I think is the same problem you guys have
been
having i.e. switching modules on Struts 1.1

First, make sure you have the most recent release build of struts, as I had
problems
with earler 1.1 builds on weblogic 8.1

I originally started with the simple-module-switching application to get
things going and I
had to make a few modifications to get it working.

You can download it from http://www.garvey.ie/struts/multimod.zip and
hopefully you will be
able to spot where things are going wrong.

Hope this helps,

Colm

Re: Handling Date objects in ActionForm gracefully

[Mark Lowe]

I think the way of going about converting is pretty open, either have 
some conversion utils between the web tier and the model. I tend to do 
it in the action and then when things get long or i need the code again 
move it out into  a util class or like you're saying make my model util 
classes deal with strings (this makes a lot of sense as then other 
front ends can be plugged on).

Talk of MVC aside (after all MVC is a broader issue than the particular 
pattern that struts is based on) why piss about dealing with all sorts 
of errors and exceptions being thrown in the place where its hardest to 
deal with them?

You can and people do use different types for form beans, but I just 
don't see the point. Date comes up often and lets face it dates are 
more user friendly as dropdown menus rather than free text, so  
getDay() , getMonth() and getYear() IMO are a simpler way of going 
about things. Then have methods in you model that create a date based 
on that, or have a util class in the web tier as you can deal with 
validating the three values. Perhaps even have a date that's in you 
form bean but is set and got (passed participle of get) via string 
flavors day, month and year.

Not sure if this works but I think the idea is valid (corrections 
welcome).

public class SomeForm extends ActionForm {

	private Calendar aDate = Calender.instance();

public String getDay() {
int d = aDate.get(Calendar. DAY_OF_MONTH);
return Integer.toString(d);
}
public void setDay(String day) {
aDate.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,Integer.parseInt(day));
}
...
protected Date getAdate() {
return dDate.getTime();
}
}
This way come checking and comparing values before can be done, before 
passing anything up to you model. Many folk would say that this should 
be done in the model, but i'd say situations where you need to check if 
a user has entered a valid date (e.g. expire and from dates with a 
credit card).

This functionality will want to be produced even if you change the 
model , if you wanted to demo your web tier on its own (without a model 
e.g acme ltd credit card form)  and therefore doing it ONLY in the 
model would be limited.

Very much IMO and I'm not MVC guru, but that's my understanding.

You deal with the conversion else where but not in the form bean, you
can argue about it or just believe me. The action form sits between the
view and the action, the date conversion goes on between the action and

the model.

Your approach isn't that bad its just not to the MVC pattern that
struts follows (not that its the only one).
Create a date convertion util class or something.

HttpUnit is also a neat tool which might help. Have a JSP generate the

Or maybe I dont understand your requirements.

I also suggest this approach to keep the date as string during posts and convert
them to date object when porcessing the entered dates, surely not in the Form.

Depends on  what you really want to achieve. Would suggest the KISS rule..:-)

   nature of a form bean, which is part of the VIEW tier, with
   model beans that have native data types.

Struts does not include any sort of "user interface component model"  
where the
details of conversion are hidden inside the user interface component.   
If that
is what you are after, you should look at a *real* user interface  
component
model (such as using JavaServer Faces with a Struts application).   
Corrupting
the functionality of a form bean to *pretend* that it is a user  
interface
component is only going to create complications for the world.


I hope this helps

Subject: Struts Validator and Select boxes


Hi,

I am using Struts validator.
One page of mine has dates displayed as "MM"  "DD" "".
All the above 3 are displayed in seprate combo/select boxes.
I need to do some custom validations on these fields.
I wrote a custom class for the same 
Looks like - 
   public static boolean validateDates(Object bean,
ValidatorAction validatorAction,
Field field, ActionErrors errors,
HttpServletRequest request)
   {
  String actionType = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,
 
field.getVarValue("actionType")); // A hidden form field
  String fromMonth = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,
field.getProperty());
  String fromDay = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,
  field.getVarValue("fromDay"));
  String fromYear = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,
   field.getVarValue("fromYear"));
  String toMonth = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,
  field.getVarValue("toMonth"));
  String toDay = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,
field.getVarValue("toDay"));
  String toYear = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,
 field.getVarValue("toYear"));

  System.out.println("actionType " + actionType);
  System.out.println("fromMonth " + fromMonth);
  System.out.println("fromDay " + fromDay);
  System.out.println("fromYear " + fromYear);
  System.out.println("toMonth " + toMonth);
  System.out.println("toDay " + toDay);

  return true;
   }

O/P of the above code - 
actionType searchPage
fromMonth 2
fromDay null
fromYear null
toMonth null
toDay null
toYear null

It also gives me "No Name Specified error".
Point to note is that the all other fields other than 'actionType' are select boxes. 
It gives a null for all the field types that are of html:select.
Is this a known BUG or am i going wrong somewhere ?

RE: Using JSTL Instead of Nested Tags

[Mike Duffy]

Thanks Robert.

Your suggestion was helpful.

Another key is to use varStatus='status' and the corresponding ${status.index} to 
reference the
objects in the form array:

The simple logger that is included in the commons logging package doesn't
support logging to a file, just to the console. You need to understand that
it is primarily intended to provide the common logging API (the simple
logger is included just to get you started) and then you configure it to use
whatever logging facility under the covers that you want to. Most people use
log4j, but, you could also use the native logging support in JDK 1.4 or
greater.

I recommend configuring to use log4j. I also recommend taking the time to
read the short intro manual to log4j found here:

http://tinyurl.com/3hlrq

I recently posted the contents of a simple log4j configuration file that
does have an example of the necessary configuration to write log messages
both to the console and to file. Check the list archives for a recent post
on logging by me. I use this setup with Tomcat and Weblogic. The one
configuration difference I found is that Weblogic doesn't like relative file
paths for location of log files and Tomcat handles that just fine.

Good luck, Van

P.S. You can either remove the commons logging properties file or explicitly
configure it to use log4j. As long as you setup log4j properly in your
runtime environment, the commons logging logic will use it by default unless
you have a commons logging properties file that explicitly specifies a
different logger implementation.

Re: Handling Date objects in ActionForm gracefully

[Mark Lowe]

You deal with the conversion else where but not in the form bean, you  
can argue about it or just believe me. The action form sits between the  
view and the action, the date conversion goes on between the action and  
the model.

Your approach isn't that bad its just not to the MVC pattern that  
struts follows (not that its the only one).

Create a date convertion util class or something.

If you dont want to take my word for it here's what craig had to say  
albeit in response to a different question


As the original designer of Struts :-), I must point out that the  
design of
ActionForm (and the recommendation that form bean properties be  
Strings) is
***very*** deliberate.  The reason this is needed is obvious when you  
consider
the following use case:

* You have an input form that, say, accepts only integers.

* Your form bean property is of type "int".

* The user types "1b3" instead of "123", by accident.

* Based on experience with any garden variety GUI application,
  the user will expect that they receive an error message,
  plus a redisplay of the form ***WITH THE INCORRECT VALUES
  THAT WERE ENTERED DISPLAYED SO THE USER CAN CORRECT THEM***.
* The current Struts environment will throw an exception
  due to the conversion failure.
* The suggested solution will ***hopelessly*** confuse the
  nature of a form bean, which is part of the VIEW tier, with
  model beans that have native data types.
Struts does not include any sort of "user interface component model"  
where the
details of conversion are hidden inside the user interface component.   
If that
is what you are after, you should look at a *real* user interface  
component
model (such as using JavaServer Faces with a Struts application).   
Corrupting
the functionality of a form bean to *pretend* that it is a user  
interface
component is only going to create complications for the world.

"filter=false" tells the tag not to replace things like "<" with "<".
That's what you want to hppen in this case.

Re: Dynaform Type Conversion

[Hubert Rabago]

It does for the nightly build and Struts 1.2.0, though I can't recall the
name of the method.  For pre-1.2, you'll need to write code to do that. 
There was a thread that discussed this, with the last few messages (of that
thread) still coming in today.  Just look for that.  Richard Yee pasted code
there on how to instantiate a Dyna Bean.  I also pointed to an archive where
I pasted the code I use in my apps to instantiate a Dyna Bean.

Re: Dynaform Type Conversion

[Joe Hertz]

Well, I was using copyProperties...or rather I\'d want to. I\'m just trying 
to 
avoid having to declare my Transfer Objects the hard way.

Say I use Mark Lowe\'s idea of the Nested Form Bean (makes sense in alot of 
ways), but I want to do it dynamically. i.e. DynaForm A has a List property 
of what will be a bunch of DynaBean B\'s.

So riddle me this, how do I instantiate a DynaBean myself as it is defined in 
the struts-config.xml?  When it\'s passed in to the Action as the form, it\'s 
all prepped and ready to go. If I instantiate an instance of the class 
myself, it\'s got no dynaproperties. I know BeanUtils will provide 
functionality to do this, but I would hope there\'s an exposed method that 
does based straight out of the contents struts-config.

Does Struts provide a method where I provide it the name of the bean defined 
in the struts-config.xml and it return me an instance of the appropriate 
class, with all the dyna properties set up?

Re: form based auth and session timeout and post data

[Adam Hardy]

Martin,
I'm not familiar with xpetstore, so I didn't say anything when I read 
that you had container-managed security and a sign-on filter redirecting 
unauthenticated users. Basically you have made the sign-on filter 
redundant by implementing container-managed security.

However that's not to say that the sign-on filter doesn't do other stuff 
as well - I don't know. One thing for instance could be that it puts 
user information into the session so you don't need to repeatedly fetch 
the info with each request.

The filter won't be by-passed - it's not affected by the app you're 
running, only by tomcat 'filtering' on the URL and passing it the 
requests it's been configured to see in the web.xml.

Hi Adam,

I modified the filter from xpetstore when I introduced container based

there, but in the session timeout scenario, the SignonFilter doesn't get
hit straight away (unlike the non-timeout scenario).
I guess the order of play is:
Container based security
Filter
ActionServlet
Can't work out why the filter would appear to be bypassed.

Any ideas?

That's one mean filter.

It's not part of struts but judging merely from its name, it's obviously

built into the app security. What does xpetstore say it's meant to do? 
Have you checked the filter's javadoc?

Hi,



I've got a struts based app using form based authentication (started

I have a situation where if I'm on a web form protected by role based

to the login page, login, but then the original form data is lost.


According to the log data, it's looking for an ActionForm of a
different

I thought this stuff was statically configured.

RE: Using JSTL Instead of Nested Tags

[Robert Taylor]

Mike, you will have to expose the form like:



...where "myForm" is its name defined in the struts-config file.

If its DynaForm then you have to expose the form map:



Once you do this, you can use JSTL to access and render values:



or

Give us an example. What is the form editing?

The iterate tag is probably what you want, if it's simple.

Or you could use NestedBeans. If the form edits the actual object, you 
can get a bunch of beans, each representing x pieces of info, and store 
them inside the main object.

Just throwing out ideas.

but will actually be doing validation for this group
of checkboxes in the Action.
Any ideas?

Re: form based auth and session timeout and post data

[Adam Hardy]

That's one mean filter.

It's not part of struts but judging merely from its name, it's obviously 
built into the app security. What does xpetstore say it's meant to do? 
Have you checked the filter's javadoc?

Hi,

 

I've got a struts based app using form based authentication (started out
as xpetstore).
I have a situation where if I'm on a web form protected by role based
security, and the session times out, and then I submit the form, I get
to the login page, login, but then the original form data is lost.
 

According to the log data, it's looking for an ActionForm of a different
name according to whether the session has timed out or not!!!
I thought this stuff was statically configured.

 

When there is no time out, the log looks like this:

"filter=false" tells the tag not to replace things like "<" with "<".

RE: Handling Date objects in ActionForm gracefully

[Takhar, Sandeep]

There are converters that can be used for overriding.  For example BigDecimalConverter 
is a converter that handles any object going to a BigDecimal.

you need to register the converters.  Take a look at BeanUtils.deregister which is 
called in a static block at the beginning of BeanUtils.

RE: Handling Date objects in ActionForm gracefully

[anant.parnami]

Define your own Form bean class which extends the DynaForm  and then you
can override the get/set methods
In those methods you need to check if the type is Date then perform
whatever operation you want

RE: Handling Date objects in ActionForm gracefully

[Sreenivasa Chadalavada]

The date fields in jsp are not mandatory. So there will be null strings in 
the request/session. 

As I understand, Struts tries to create Date object out of the null string 
and chokes on it.

I would like to know if my understanding is correct ?

If this is true are there any solutions for the problem?

Thanks and Regards,
Sree/-

Re: Exception handling in struts

[Tate Austin]

ooops, thank you regarding the java.lang.Exception.  As for ExceptionCatcher
all that is correct.  I did make that change in an earlier iteration.  That
lowercase wasn't the issue sadly.  Now, when I installed Easy Struts just
now it told me "path not found in webapp" which is not true from my
perspective.  "/jsp/error.jsp" exists and all the other calls from struts
config use the "/jsp/*.jsp" format and work properly.  Has anyone out there
had an experience like this with exception handling?

Re: Tile Problem

Hi,

You need to do the following in the jsp page,



Then where you want the internationalized text to appear you use,


Oh yeah you will need to add your taglib references as follows,
<%@ taglib uri="/whateverYourPathIs" prefix="tiles" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/whateverYourPathIs" prefix="bean" %>


Hope that helped,

Re: Res: html inside an action

[Richard Yee]

Ruben,
Why is it your requirement to get a page as HTML
inside an Action? It seems like you've made an
implementation decision. Like several people have
suggested, it is much easier to do this (and probably
better too), by using a custom tag library inside the
JSP itself. Several tag libraries are already
available that email the page content or return it as
a String.

Regards,

Richard

HttpUnit is also a neat tool which might help. Have a JSP generate the

RE: html inside an action

[Brendan Richards]

I'm not entirely sure what you're after - do you mean get a string with
the contents populated by another jsp - independent from the current
request being served?

I created a test jsp in tomcat containing a  tag, ran it
and looked in tomcat's work folder at the servlet code generated for it.

The key line of code seems to be

JspRuntimeLibrary.include(request, response, "/myInclude.jsp", out,
true); 


Here's the javadoc. Looks like it's specific to Tomcat though - I don't
know if there's a cross-platform solution.

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jasper/docs/api/org/apac
he/jasper/runtime/JspRuntimeLibrary.html


looks like the "out" is a JspWriter. I think you may be able to extend
jspWriter to create a jsp writer that captures your string rather than
sending to a response.

Re: html inside an action

hi
Those are my requirements, i have to convert objects to html, in my

way to do this,
I want the code that   jsp generate (that is sent to the browser) on my 
action , is it possible? thanks a lot ,

A cleaner approach would be to use Custom Tags to have the HTML

JSPs are not sent to the browser, it is the code they generate that is 
sent to the client browser).
Or maybe I dont understand your requirements.

RE: Automatically detecting struts-config changes and reload app.

Seems like somebody ought to point out that calling lifecycle methods (like
