RE: Tiles and changing the title based on content

2004-05-22 Thread Tim Penhey
That could work.  BTW where is the advanced tiles PDF?

The other possibility I suppose is to have the default layout use an include that
specifies
c:set var=titleKeytiles:getAsString name=titleKey//c:set
titlebean:message key=${titleKey}//title

and it could be overriden in an extended tile definition to use
title${item.name}/title

but my question on that is the efficiency of having two line JSPs that are included in
tiles.
What overhead is there in including a one or two line JSP?

Inheriting the TilesAction would require another intermediate class that would handle 
the
default behaviour that I want the pages to have, and other actions would have to 
override
this.  If I did this, is there an appropriate method to do this default behaviour that
happens before the execute method?

 Tim,

 Why not use a TilesAction (org.apache.struts.tiles.action package) and
 change/set tiles attributes using the putAttribute() method of the
 ComponentContext object.  For more details, see the advances tiles PDF.

 I am not sure why this is a problem.  All you have to do if you want part
 of the response object to be dynamic is put your dynamic value in the
 tile.  Presumably you have some dynamic factor choosing the tiles content
 page.  Just have that same factor decide what the value of the title
 is.  There are lots of ways to introduce dynamic content.  I don't see the
 problem.

Re: double click submit button problem

Thanks Denial,
But the code which I have submitted fine, there is no need to add anything

 If you are calling saveToken(request) before isTokenValid like your code

 different to the one being submitted in the form!

 It should happen as follows:

 In the action that gives the form:
 saveToken(request);

 Then in the action the form is submitted to:

 if(!isTokenValid(request){
//token vaildation failed so send to error page (or straight onto
 success page if desired)
return mapping.findForward(failure);

  Hi,
  To avoid double click  problem we implemented code in our execute
  method as
  follows
  saveToken(request);
  if(!isTokenValid(request){
 //submit
 mapping.forward(target);
  }else{
resetToken(request);
  }
  but then the page is not working as expected whenever we double
  click the page
  is not getting submitted at all, can anybody suggest what wrong I
  am doing.
  For your information we are using one Action class per form so I
  am setting
  saveToken method in execute method as per form.

[ANN] Providers 0.3 Released (includes DisplayTag tip)

2004-05-22 Thread Guillermo Meyer
Providers is a framework to be used with JSP to fill Select options in
HTML. You can use it with Struts to replace html:options tag and use
prv:options to fill the select without the need of creating a collection
in an Action.
Providers is intended to help in managing select related problems.
Providers also comes with some util taglibs like ComboSelectTag, that
allows to create Dependant Drow Down Lists.

Providers 0.3 new features are:
---
-DefineTag: Allows to define a provider collection as a bean in a given
scope.
-SelectRefTag: allows to create dependencies between a tag and multiples
ones at the same time (see example)

Next release will have the following:
-
-Expresion language: providers-el taglibs.
-Use comboselect with a diferent collection for each select

Known bug (will be corrected in next release):
ComboSelectTag works wrong if Tomcat pooling tag is enabled. Try this in
web.xml:
init-param
param-nameenablePooling/param-name
param-valuefalse/param-value
/init-param

##   - ##
##   Tip for DisplayTag users: ##
##   - ##
If you have a List to be displayed with DisplatTag and one of the fields
is an ID, you can create a provider for this field and create a
decorator to display the description:

Example:
Your collection objects have the following attributes:
-userName
-idStatus

You want to display idStatus description but you haven't the value in
the collection.

This is the JSP code:

display:table name=test  
  display:column property=userName /
  display:column property=idStatus
decorator=com.mycompany.StatusProviderDecorator /
/display:table

Your decorator could be as follows:

public class StatusProviderDecorator implements ColumnDecorator {
public final String decorate(Object pColumnValue) {
try {
ProviderFactory factory =
ProviderFactory.getInstance();
String valueToFormat = (String)pColumnValue;
Object obj =
factory.getProvider(status).getDescription(valueToFormat);
return obj.toString();  
} catch (Exception e) {
return obj.toString(); //default returns the
same... There was an unexpected error
}
}
}

And your provider definition:

provider name=status
className=ar.com.koalas.providers.FixedProvider
set-property property=keyName value=key/
set-property property=description value=value/
value className=ar.com.koalas.providers.ParBean key=01
value=Active/
value className=ar.com.koalas.providers.ParBean key=02
value=Inactive/
value className=ar.com.koalas.providers.ParBean key=03
value=Blocked/
value className=ar.com.koalas.providers.ParBean key=04
value=Deleted/
/provider

You also could use this provider to display options in a page (for
example, while changing the status):

prv:select property=idStatus doMatches=true
prv:options provider=status/
/prv:select

And in a detail, you could show status description given the ID:

prv:write name=testForm property=idStatus provider=status/

RE: Tiles and changing the title based on content

2004-05-22 Thread David Friedman
Tim,

The advanced tiles pdf is under the User and Developer Guides
(http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/index.html), Tiles Guide
(http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/dev_tiles.html), under the
bottom-of-the-page link Tiles Advanced Features:

http://www.lifl.fr/~dumoulin/tiles/tilesAdvancedFeatures.pdf

Why not just subclass TilesAction?  You wrote you need other classes to
subclass it and do something before you execute?  Can't you just subclass
TilesAction into MyTilesAction, create an empty MyTilesAction.dummy() method
which you will override in future subclasses, then override
MyTilesAction.execute() (the appropriate one since one get a Tiles context
object so you can manipulate the tile data) so it calls
MyTilesAction.execute() before running the real super.execute() method?  All
your classes can then subclass MyTilesAction and setup your dummy() method
in that subclass to do your appropriate pre-execute() work.  Or were you
doing something like this for your actions but didn't know it could be used
with anything you subclassed from a TilesAction?

Regards,
David

Problem with Action Forms and html:* tags

2004-05-22 Thread Thomas T. Veldhouse
I am having a problem using Action forms because I do not know what to call
the attributes (setters and getters on the form) so that they are called
with the request values.  Here is a sample of the JSP:

td
html:select name=yeast property=yeastLab.ID
html:options collection=labList property=ID labelProperty=lab/
/html:select
/td
/tr
tr
tdForm/td
td
html:select name=yeast property=yeastForm.ID
html:options collection=formList property=ID labelProperty=form/
/html:select
/td

Note that both select tags have the same name and different properties.
What do I call the attribute on the form bean so that it is called (setter
and getter) for each of these select options?

Thanks in advance,

Tom Veldhouse

As often happens with a lot of experimenting,  I have figured this one out
for myself.  I used the form bean for everything.  All the documentation
that I found didn't indicate that the form bean was actually instatiated
upon entry into the page (with a call to reset), and thus I didn't quite
understand that using the bean for data output was the proper method.
Programming Jakarta Struts indicated that this might be the case, but then
proceded to state that the form bean was instantiated upon submitting the
form, which isn't true.   It is created upon entering the page and hitting
the html:form tag.

Validator Framework, WHAT's UP !!!!

I'm using the 1.1 validator framework. I have activated the validator

in data into. That's all fine. But, I'm not gettting any error messages
