Yes, the problem is that even if the form is regenerated, it is STILL USING
THE SAME REQUEST object, which means that the token still stays there.

Well, since we need to pass argument to the index page after user creation, 
so redirect doesn't seem to be possible


Thank you again for your detailed reply!

This is really how it's designed to work.  For a form to be resubmitted, the
user will have to regenerate the form, maybe by going back two pages, to the
page that was shown *before* the form.  As you might already know, this
protects against accidental double submits.
If you're looking for an alternative, you can, instead of using tokens, use
redirects.  This will not protect against double submits, but will allow the
same form to be resubmitted deliberately, while still protecting against
refresh operations.  You could try manually removing the token, although I
think that will defeat the purpose of using them.

Re: logging

2004-07-12 Thread Apurva Goswami
Hi,

One can set priority for logging in case it affects application performance
i.e., log only what's required, rest you can switch it off by setting log
category to high (from WARN or ERROR ---> FATAL).

We are into online booking engine and we have database of more than 70,000
customers and thousands of airline fares and other info accessed by approx.
200 users at a given point of time. Logging important info to a log file
does not affect our app.

Example

# Roll - Logging into a file
log4j.appender.Roll=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.Roll.File=${InstanceName}.log
log4j.appender.Roll.MaxFileSize=10MB
log4j.appender.Roll.MaxBackupIndex=100
log4j.appender.Roll.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.Roll.layout.ConversionPattern=%x %d{.MM.dd HH:mm:ss,SSS}
%5p [%t] (%c:%-4L %M) - %m%n

Yes, that would be one solution.  I am providing another solution. 
It's just a matter of HOW.  Which solution to pick is up to Viral.

As for me, the main reason to use commons-logging is to decouple my
application from the logging framework.  Putting that in mind, Apurva's
solution is far from my philosophy.

BTW, Viral, you can just add a "%M" to your ConversionPattern and it will be
replaced by the method name!  But be sure to read the comment on

Re: Browser's refresh problem

Hi Craig,
I guess you misunderstood what I said.
The problem is that once the token is saved, even if I request the action
again(NOT "refresh") manually(by clicking some link on the page, or submit a form),
the token is still there! and thus the action is never executed second time.
  Thanks.

Hi all,
 There's a UserAddAction, which adds the user record to the database,
and when it's done it redirects the user index page. the problem is that
everytime the user clicks refresh at the user index page, the same
record is added again.  

 I know that unique check is required, but I also hopes that action
itself should be aware of the user's "Refresh".

more complex and
fascinating organ than we thought it was, and if we want to keep it
looking good, we have to care for it as though it were our own.  One
approach is to undergo a painful surgical procedure wherein your skin
is turned inside-out, so the young cells are on the outside, but then
of course you have the unpleasant side effect that your insides
gradually fill up with dead old cells and you explode.  So this
procedure is pretty much limited to top Hollywood stars for whom
youthful beauty is a career necessity, such as Elizabeth Taylor and
Orson Welles.

On the other hand, didn't struts have issues with an app server because of

Yes, that would be one solution.  I am providing another solution. 
It's just a matter of HOW.  Which solution to pick is up to Viral.

As for me, the main reason to use commons-logging is to decouple my
application from the logging framework.  Putting that in mind, Apurva's
solution is far from my philosophy.

BTW, Viral, you can just add a "%M" to your ConversionPattern and it
will be replaced by the method name!  But be sure to read the comment on
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/api/org/apache/log4j/PatternLayout.html
about performance issues.

Are you using Tomcat in-process with the apache server on an AS/400?

Your problem, and the fact you don't have .war deployment sound familar.

   Hi,

I've been developing a struts webapp using tomcat and am now trying to
deploy it to my webserver. I copied every class and jsp manually since
there is no .war deployment available on the server.
Invoking a simple jsp directly works fine, however, when invoking a
*struts' jsp* this exception is being thrown:

javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot find global ActionForward for
name welcome
 at
org.apache.struts.taglib.logic.ForwardTag.doEndTag(ForwardTag.java:142)
 at org.apache.jsp.index$jsp._jspService(index$jsp.java:73)
 at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:107)
 at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853)
 ...

this is the associated .jsp:

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>

 
  
 


It seems  the "welcome" global forward isn't being found in
struts-config, but I'm sure it exists.
When calling an action directly I get a "Not Found" error. I'm beginning
to doubt that struts-config.xml is even being loaded.
What do you think might be the problem?


   thanks in advance,
   Phyl

Yeah looks like pattern difference, the ConversionPattern I am using for

Here is the complete prop file

Hi Apurva,

We are having a class level variable as you mentioned as below

org.apache.log4j.Category cat =
org.apache.log4j.Category.getInstance(ResResourceManager.class.getName()
);

I think the difference will be in the 

log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d, [%t], %-5p, %c, - %m%n

in log4jconfig.properties file.

Could you please let me know log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern

Try 

Put these lines on top of your class file
// Log4j
// Log4j with Try-Catch: try {...} catch (Exception e) { cat.error(e, e); }
static org.apache.log4j.Category cat =
org.apache.log4j.Category.getInstance("File Name".class.getName());

E.g. 
static org.apache.log4j.Category cat =
org.apache.log4j.Category.getInstance(ResResourceManager.class.getName()
);


Use these methods as per your requirement
cat.debug() - >  cat.debug("", e);
cat.error() - >  cat.error("", e);
cat.fatal() - >  cat.fatal("", e);

It prints the method name in the log and you do not need to pass.

E.g. if I use statement :
if (cat.isDebugEnabled()) cat.debug("Retrieved " +
agencyDepPortsDropDownList.count() + " " + countrycode + " Ports");

I get this in my log file :
(CoreFareMainL:3515 initAgencyDepPortsDropDownList) - Retrieved 117 AU Ports

(Class file: linenumber method ) - string message

Hope it helps

Something is tickling the back of my mind about Servlet spec versions.  Could be 
cobwebs
On the other hand, didn't struts have issues with an app server because of 
serialization issues?

Re: Prepopulating forms

2004-07-12 Thread Joe Germuska
Yes, I think that's a great improvement.  Still, I feel like Struts 
should be responsible for managing the scopes and the placement of 
the form bean into the correct scope.

Also, and this may just be because I got on the "view controller" 
horse a long time ago, but I feel like there should be a config file 
that knows the name and scope of the form bean, and it should be 
hooked to the forward config, and not hard-coded into the action.

Am I just being too much of a formalist?

Re: Prepopulating forms & validation

2004-07-12 Thread Erik Weber
Awesome! Inheritance in, or parameterizing of, the Validator plugin, 
will be the last step in getting a CRU (no D) use case finished the 
*right* way (hopefully). This is with declarative validation, 
declarative exception handling, an action layer, a business layer and a 
data access layer (architect demanded these layers), as well as full use 
of Struts HTML tags for all forms, and some use of bean and logic tags, 
plus I wrote a PlugIn for combo box value arrays and a pluggable 
validator extension to do some "twofields" matching, and finally learned 
how to do conditional validation with requiredif. Oh, and of course the 
"static" content is all pulled from i18n-able properties files. Total 
time to learn Struts from scratch, set up JBoss, MySQL, CVS and get this 
use case working: Three weeks.

Not too shabby eh? I'm sold on Struts, but the docs need to be revised, 
revised and revised some more! Maybe someday I'll have time to contribute.

The only thing I have done redundantly is check for "loggedin-ness", but 
I will soon refactor that with a Servlet filter methinks.

Thanks to all on this list who have helped! Can't wait till the clients 
ask for the site in Spanish!

Oh sorry I replied to soon. Yea this is a problem. I suggested a long time

Not sure if that was ever worked on by anyone or not, but that would be

Use the ValidatorActionForm and validate on the Action name, not the form  
name. Useful for just that reasons you've desscribed. You can have  
different validation set up for the updateAction vs the insertAction.

I've only rarely ever had to create Forms in my Actions (like you're doing  
in the above). I'd be curious about cases when you would ever need to do  
this? The only time that I see having to do this is when you plan to  
actually nest ActionForms within ActionForms (and thus have to build some  
in order to nest them), which in that case I wouldn't even bother nesting  
ActionForms and would just use the VO and nest that. Validation has to be  
done more manually, but no big deal.

This depends Erik. If you are harcoding it like:

The later should be ok, but would be a waste since the html tag will take

in an struts action you should be able to use:
getServlet().getServletContext().getServletContextName()
from javadocs:
javax.servlet.ServletContext.getServletContextName()
Returns the name of this web application correponding to this

Re: Prepopulating forms & validation

2004-07-12 Thread Erik Weber
Thanks a lot! I no doubt will find that very useful.
I have another question for the group at large:
I am now using the same form successfully for adds and updates. I am 
using the Validator plugin for validation, which I find to be pretty 
awesome. The problem I face though is, the fields I need to validate are 
slightly different between add and update conditions.

For example, when I add, there is a "disclaimer" checkbox that *must* be 
checked. When I update, there is no longer any checkbox. I am trying to 
share the  element in validation.xml, obviously, because the form 
itself is (almost) the same. So the problem is that sometimes I need 
"required", and sometimes not, for this checkbox field.

Because of one or two fields being different between add and update 
forms, I fear I'll have to do a nearly-redundant (and very long)  
element for my update condition in validation.xml. Does anyone have a 
better solution?

Thanks,
Erik

The web.xml file is available as a resource that can be accessed via the 
ServletContext for your webapp.  For example, you can say something like:

 ServletContext context = ...; // Get a reference to our servlet context
 InputStream stream = context.getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/web.xml");
Now you've got an input stream to read the contents ... you'll probably 
want to use an XML parser to parse the contents -- google for JAXP to 
see the API that Java provides for this purpose.  Or, you might consider 
using the Commons Digester package (included with Struts), which is what 
Struts itself uses to parse this very resource, in order to figure out 
how the controller servlet is mapped.  Looking at the source code for 
ActionServlet should give you some useful clues.

Do you not think that the new standard mechanism in Struts 1.2.1 for

public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
  ActionForm form,
  HttpServletRequest request,
  HttpServletResponse response) throws Excetpion {

   // Find the FormBeanConfig
   FormBeanConfig  config =
mapping.getModuleConfig().findFormBeanConfig("myForm");

   // Create new ActionForm
   ActionForm newForm = config.createActionForm(servlet);

}

John,
If you are using a DataPage (e.g. 
oracle.adf.controller.struts.actions.DataForwardAction) then the 
parameter attribute on the Action mapping takes the page that needs to 
be displayed once the data binding has been processed.  That parameter 
attribute can take a tiles definition without a problem and that being 
the case, as long as the  tag points back to the DataPage all 
should be OK - I've just tried it here and it works without a hitch.

Are you trying to use a DataPage as an individual tile, within a layout? 
That would perhaps cause what you are seeing. If that's the case then 
tweek it so that DataPage points to the tiles def as a while rather than 
the bound JSP and run the DataPage.

Documentation says:

logic:iterate id
The name of a page scope JSP bean that will contain the current element of the 
collection on each iteration, if it is not null.

So this should iterate through the collection




And I want to display a bean. so let's see what the bean taglib has.  ooo 
bean:write.
Name:
Specifies the attribute name of the bean whose property is accessed to retrieve the 
value specified by property (if specified). If property is not specified, the value of

Property:
Specifies the name of the property to be accessed on the bean specified by name. This 
value may be a simple, indexed, or nested property reference expression. If not 
specified, the bean identified by name will itself be rendered. If the specified

This works, in a sense, but then overrides the ability of the html:* 
tags to re-present user-entered data in the case of server-side 
validation errors.

It's generally considered better for usability if you present exactly 
the data the user entered when returning them to a form page because 
of validation errors.  This is also why it's generally advised to 
make your free-text-entry form bean properties of type String even if 
you want the user to enter a number.

Joe and Wendy, thanks for all your help. Hearing the practical advice

also keeps me thinking toward the best way of doing things!

I think what you are saying here will dawn on me more as I get deeper

So, Joe, I am not using Dyna Forms, just plain old form beans. (I may

all the shared fields, but for now, I'm getting a lot of use out of a 
bean generator I wrote). Are you agreeing then, that the best

this case, the "update" form page), and in that action, obtain a VO 
and use the values from that to set the properties of the ActionForm? 
You are saying if I do this I need to explicity set a key to the form 
as a request attribute? (Somehow I assumed that the form already 
would be set as an attribute and that all I would need to do is 
modify the values of it).

When Struts calls execute(mapping ,form,request,response), the form 
that it passes in is determined by the "name" attribute of the 
ActionMapping. The name, of course, must reference a  
element, which determines the type.

The ActionForm specified in the ActionMapping is intended as the 
wrapper for request parameters, so only in limited cases will it also 
be of the correct type for the subsequent view. If the only request 
parameter your action needs is the ID of the VO object you'll retrieve 
for population, then you could probably get away with specifying the 
"view form" (or "output form") in the ActionMapping. It's just 
important to note that this isn't how Struts is designed, and that 
inevitably, you'll come upon a case where you need to pass in more 
input data and therefore really need distinct form-beans for "input" 
and "output".

I believe in letting consenting adults do what they please, and so if 
you understand this, I think you can do it safely. Some people are 
kind of purists and insist on having a form bean even for the single 
ID parameter which might be coming in to your action.

Getting back to specifics, Struts uses the "name" and "scope" 
properties of an action-mapping to pass form beans between the 
controller and the view. If your pre-view action and your 
form-submission action have the same values then everything should 
work out (with a possible exception if you are using "request" scope 
and use a redirect, which would cause the "controller request" to go 
out-of-scope before the view can be drawn using that data.

In the case when you can't use the same form-bean in your action and 
in the subsequent view and yet you want to pre-populate a form in your 
view, you simply must ensure that a form-bean of the proper type is 
placed in the proper scope under the proper name by your action (or by 
a Tiles controller, or by any other logic that can sneak in before the 
view is rendered).

Hope that helps!

2004-07-12 Thread Van Riper, Mike
FYI,

After learning about JUG support as projects on java.net at JavaOne, I
decided to migrate the Silicon Valley Struts User JUG to a new JUG project
on java.net. The other significant change to the group is the shift to a
more general focus on all J2EE web application development technologies. Of
course, we will continue to have some meetings where Struts development is
the focus. The new JUG project on java.net is:

  Silicon Valley Web Developer JUG
  https://sv-web-jug.dev.java.net

Everyone on the old Yahoo list are already migrated to the new list. For
anyone new though, it does require that you register with java.net in order
to subscribe to the new list. If you would like to become a member of this
JUG, you can subscribe to the mailing list here:

  https://sv-web-jug.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectMailingListList

When the group does have a Struts-related event coming up, I'll continue to
post announcements here on the struts-user list. However, the frequency of
those postings will be lower now with the broader focus of the group going
forward.

That's All Folks, Van

If you do that, you'll have a problem if you need to re-display the users
input if it fails validation.  With a 'value' attribute, that's always what
will get displayed, not the value in the form bean.

Pre-population belongs in the Action code, then Struts can properly handle
what to display in the HTML form.

Re: R: Prepopulating forms

2004-07-12 Thread Erik Weber
Yes, I am using the html tags. I thought of what you are saying, but if 
I understand the responses of others correctly (particularly Wendy), 
just calling the setters of your form in your "prepopulate" action 
should take care of this; you shouldn't have to explicity provide any 
values to your html tags. At least in simplistic/typical situations this 
seemingly would work. (In other words, the Struts html tags are going to 
prepopulate for you). I think also though Joe's comments about possibly 
needing different form beans for input/output should be considered.

I recall that when I set the "value" property on any of my inputs, I ran 
into a problem with user input changes being "remembered" in the case of 
a page reload due to form validation failure.

Someone correct me if I am wrong please.

Re: Tiles and Oracle ADF in JDeveloper10g

2004-07-12 Thread Duncan Mills
John,
If you are using a DataPage (e.g. 
oracle.adf.controller.struts.actions.DataForwardAction) then the 
parameter attribute on the Action mapping takes the page that needs to 
be displayed once the data binding has been processed.  That parameter 
attribute can take a tiles definition without a problem and that being 
the case, as long as the  tag points back to the DataPage all 
should be OK - I've just tried it here and it works without a hitch.

Are you trying to use a DataPage as an individual tile, within a layout? 
That would perhaps cause what you are seeing. If that's the case then 
tweek it so that DataPage points to the tiles def as a while rather than 
the bound JSP and run the DataPage.

Take a look at LookupDispatchAction.  That's what I use to control which
CRUD action is happening, and all the code stays in one Action class.
Instead of separate 'add' and 'update' Actions, they would be methods within
your EditWhateverAction.

Dynamic forms or not doesn't really matter... you just use the 'form' object
that gets passed into your method.  And since it's a reference to the form
that's sitting in request or session scope, you don't have to "put" it
anywhere, it's already there.

Thanks Rick. As I said in another response, I think I will go with a 
shared add/update form.

Also, I think we meant the same thing, as far as action mappings go, I 
just didn't explain very clearly. Indeed, I think now I will just map an 
action to every screen and the user will never see "*.jsp" at the end of 
a URI, but rather things like "/viewdetails" or what have you.

You wrote:
Using BeanUtils.copyProperties(), it's a piece of cake to  update your

Do you have an example of this, or is there one on your site? I indeed 
have some properties that are the same between form bean and VO, but 
some are not (for example my form beans use only Strings, but my VOs use 
some booleans, ints, etc.)

Thanks for your help,

I think so. Using BeanUtils.copyProperties(), it's a piece of cake to

I'm an unclear what you mean be the above. All my pages are jsp pages 
with  .jsp extension but the user never ever will see that in the URL 
since  everything I do forwards through an action. Even just views 
should forward  through an action even if it's just the simple generic 
ForwardAction.

I have heard of the use of the "reset" method in an Action for  
prepopulating a form, and indeed it looks convenient.

It should never pre-populate it with business data, but it's ok to use 
it  for making sure certain values are reset to defaults... such as  
checkboxes, radio buttons, etc. You really need to make use of the 
reset  method if you have checkboxes on your form and you are using 
validation or  the form has session scope. Just don't think of 
pre-populating meaning  prepopulating from your backend - that stuff 
should be done in your  Action. I usually use some form of 
DispatchAction and usually always have  a SetUp() method that does all 
my population from the ValueObject(s).

Re: Prepopulating forms

2004-07-12 Thread Erik Weber
Joe, thanks for your opinion. You and Rick have convinced me to stay 
with one form page for add/update. I did this before in a non-struts 
app, and despite all the conditionals I ended up with, the ensuing 
layout revisions did make it worth it.

So, Joe, I am not using Dyna Forms, just plain old form beans. (I may 
refactor my DTOs/VOs and form beans into some base class because of all 
the shared fields, but for now, I'm getting a lot of use out of a bean 
generator I wrote). Are you agreeing then, that the best approach 
(currently) is to create an action for the view screen (in this case, 
the "update" form page), and in that action, obtain a VO and use the 
values from that to set the properties of the ActionForm? You are saying 
if I do this I need to explicity set a key to the form as a request 
attribute? (Somehow I assumed that the form already would be set as an 
attribute and that all I would need to do is modify the values of it).

Thanks again,
Erik

As for performing the pre-population, this is somewhat cumbersome. If 
you are not using a session-scoped form, then it is somewhat tricky to 
get a handle on the "output form" which needs populating. The Struts 
"execute" signature passes in an "input form" based on request 
parameters. Even if you were using session scoped forms, this assumes 
that you want to use the same form bean for input and output, which is 
often not the case.

If your form bean is a simple non-dynamic form, then it's not too big 
a deal to instantiate the bean, populate it, and put it in request or 
session scope under the "name" attribute associated with the action 
which receives the form submission. This is the bare minimum to do to 
"make it work." If you're using DynaForms, it's a little harder to get 
an instance.

In the Struts 1.3 timeline, I'm hoping to work on some things to make 
this easier. If you are interested in the details and in being on the

I have some use cases that call for typcial "add" and "update"

this are welcome.

2) Prepopulate the "update" form by assigning an action to it. I

especially like opinions here. My view screens have ".jsp" extensions

How to read from web.xml?

Tiles and Oracle ADF in JDeveloper10g

2004-07-12 Thread Ruffin, John
The basic question is:

If using Tiles in an application that uses ADF, how do you change the action
of lets say - a submit button on an input form - to return the a components
defined in a tiles-def definition?

The ADF submit button returns the component where the submit button lives -
thus losing the other tiles on the page.

You had the right idea. Filtering is what escapes the special

RE: 1.2.1 to which Maven repo? (RE: [ANN] Struts 1.2.1 (Beta) Released)

2004-07-12 Thread Carlos Sanchez
Hi Joe,

I agree that users should use iBiblio, just said apache repository because
it's mirrored.

About the use of the private repo
http://cvs.apache.org/builds/java-repository/ seems a good idea to me, but
it hasn't been already created, nobody has upload nothing until now? Many
apache projects still upload their snapshots to the release repository,
ending at iBiblio. Should this be told to the projects that had uploaded
snapshots to ibiblio? 

I am also sure that 1.2.1 should definitely be put at
http://cvs.apache.org/builds/java-repository/

It depends on 'how' different the forms will be. If they are the same

I think so. Using BeanUtils.copyProperties(), it's a piece of cake to  
update your Form bean from the ValueObject properties.

I'm an unclear what you mean be the above. All my pages are jsp pages with  
.jsp extension but the user never ever will see that in the URL since  
everything I do forwards through an action. Even just views should forward  
through an action even if it's just the simple generic ForwardAction.

I have heard of the use of the "reset" method in an Action for

 public Row(int size, String defaultValue) {
  items = new ArrayList(size);
  for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
   items.add(defaultValue);

 }

 public List getItems() {

 }

 public void setItems(List items) {
  this.items = items;
 }

 public int size() {
  return items.size();
 }
}




now in your ActionForm class:

 public List getDemandGrid() {
  return demandGrid;
 }

 public void setDemandGrid(List list) {
  demandGrid = list;
 }


in your action class setup the initial grid:

List demandGrid = new ArrayList(demandCount);
for (int i = 0; i < ?; i++) {
 demandRow = new Row(quarters.size(), "OFF");
 demandGrid.add(deamndRow);
}

form.setDemandGrid(demandGrid);




in your jsp:

<%
height = businessRevForecastForm.getDemandGrid().size();
width = ((Row) businessRevForecastForm.getDemandGrid().get(0)).size();
grid = businessRevForecastForm.getDemandGrid();
%>
<% for (int y = 0; y < height; y++) { %>

<% for (int x = 0; x < width; x++) { %>

after submit, form.getDemandGrid() list should be populated!

I can't find how to implement a form which include n*m checkbox.
I would like to get :

doc1 doc2 doc3 ... docn
client1 x x x
client2 x x x
client 3 x x x
...
client m x x x x

I managed to get the form but I can't retrieve the values in the validate
function

private String[][] enveloppes;

in reset :
enveloppes = new String[n][m];
for(int i = 0; i < m; i++) {
for (int j=0; j < n; j++) {
enveloppes[j][i] = "off";
}
}
and for example, i get an array of 2*10 elements.
but when I check the size of enveloppes into the validate function, I get a
strange size of 1*1.

There is also the getter/setter :
/**
 * @return Returns the enveloppes.
 */
public String[][] getEnveloppes() {
return enveloppes;
}
/**
 * @param enveloppes The enveloppes to set.
 */
public void setEnveloppes(String[][] enveloppes) {
this.enveloppes = enveloppes;
}

Does anyone know the reason why the enveloppe size isn't 2*10?
I tried to log a lot of stuff and was not able to determine anything. The
setter is apparently never called.
I guess Struts is in charge of populating the form when it is sent back by
the browser.
I managed to use array of 1 dimension with struts form, even if I had quite
a hard time to figure out how to make it works but
I can't find any solution for 2 dimensions arrays.

the generated html corresponding parts are :

Thanks for the help,

Damien

What type of commit are you using under JDBC, automatic or manual? Perhaps
you should reply with the offending code so we can see what is happeneing.
 Also, what exception handling are you using around the INSERT code, as
you may be handling an exception/error but not doing anything with it.

ANN: New Struts/OracleADF-based Toy Store Demo

2004-07-12 Thread Steve Muench
Oracle announces the availability of the Struts-based ADF Toy Store Demo
sample application. 

http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/collateral/papers/10g/adftoystore.html

It is accompanied by a detailed technical whitepaper that explains
all of the interesting details of the Struts and Oracle ADF
framework features used in its implementation.

http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/collateral/papers/10g/adftoystore/readme.html

The ADF Toy Store Demo is an MVC-based web storefront application,
implemented using best-practices J2EE design patterns, that fully
leverages the developer-productivity boost that frameworks and
framework-savvy visual tools can provide. It uses:

 -> Apache Struts for the controller layer
 -> JSP/JSTL for the view layer
 -> Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) for the model layer

As part of explaining the implementation details, the whitepaper
illustrates the rich set of features provided by the Oracle
JDeveloper 10g IDE for working with the Struts and ADF frameworks
using productive visual, declarative, and code-level tools.

The demo can be deployed to Tomcat, Oracle Application Server,
Oracle OC4J Standalone, or other J2EE-compliant application server.

The Oracle ADF framework's capabilities for simplifying end-to-end
J2EE application development are used daily by over 2000 developers
in the Oracle E-Business Suite team, as well as by hundreds of
external customers. ADF's data binding layer is an implementation
of the declarative data binding facilities proposed in JSR-227.

Prepopulating forms

2004-07-12 Thread Erik Weber
Hello. I want to solicit some advice and opinions. Working on my first 
Struts app.

I have some use cases that call for typcial "add" and "update" 
functionality that basically can share the same forms. Obviously when 
the form is first displayed under "add" conditions, it needs to be 
blank. Under "update" conditions, the form needs to be prepopulated 
using the results of a DB select. In addition, a few fields that are 
present under "add" conditions no longer should be present under 
"update" conditions.

My current plan is to:
1) Use two different JSPs to house these forms, even though there will 
be a lot of redundancy, because the fields may have some variation, and 
because I'm not fond of having conditionals in the form (if (add) { } 
else { //must be update). I suppose the common block of fields could be 
refactored into an include. Any opinions on this are welcome.

2) Prepopulate the "update" form by assigning an action to it. I suppose 
the action would, in the execute method, call a business object, get a 
value object and use the attributes of this object to set all the fields 
of the ActionForm before returning a forward to the update form screen. 
Is this the right approach? I would especially like opinions here. My 
view screens have ".jsp" extensions but my screens that have submittable 
forms have actions that use path mapping, such as "foo/login" and 
"foo/register" and "foo/save", and so forth. Is it common to map 
viewing/prepopulating actions one way and saving/writing actions another?

I have heard of the use of the "reset" method in an Action for 
prepopulating a form, and indeed it looks convenient. I also have heard 
Struts developers may want to deprecate this method.

Any advice/opinions/links welcome.
Thanks,
Erik

1.2.1 to which Maven repo? (RE: [ANN] Struts 1.2.1 (Beta) Released)

Hi,

Then again, reviewing what seems to be the 
"official" word on using the Apache repositories 
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.jakarta.commons.devel/39469), 
it simply says that location is for "versioned

For what it's worth, I think that the intention 
is not that Maven users would have 
http://www.apache.org/dist/java-repository/ as a

which is mirrored from that.  I don't know if 
anyone feels strongly about it, but that's how I 
read the previously cited email.

If we don't put Struts 1.2.1 on iBiblio, we 
should definitely put it at 
http://cvs.apache.org/builds/java-repository/

I'll do either one, but I'll wait to see if a few 
opinions roll in before taking action.

 The Struts team announces the release of Struts 1.2.1,
 currently ranked at Beta quality.
 This release removes many features deprecated in prior
 releases (Struts 1.1 and Struts 1.0.2) and also provides
 several new features. Fixes to known problems have been
 applied. More detail is available at
 * http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/release-notes.html
 The binary, source, and library distributions are available at
 * http://cvs.apache.org/dist/struts/v1.2.1/
 The library distribution contains only the requisite JARs,
 without the documentation or example applications.
 We invite your comments on how well this release works with
 your own applications. Based on feedback from the Struts
 community, this release may be dubbed "ready for prime time"
 and promoted to "General Availabilty" quality.
 Please note that Struts now uses "Tomcat-style" releases. If
 the feedback on this release were positive, Struts 1.2.1 may
 be promoted directly to "GA", without creating yet-another
 distribution. If a serious problem were found and fixed, then
 we will issue Struts 1.2.2 and try again.

Better way?

2004-07-12 Thread e-denton Java Programmer
Hi,

When I want to open a new browser window to access an offsite URL, I have
been loading a jsp with a frameset containing that URL, i.e. "return new
ActionForward ("/offsiteFrameset.jsp")". For example, to open a URL from a
page of offsite links. Is there a better or more direct way of doing it?

Use these methods as per your requirement
cat.debug() - >  cat.debug("", e);

It prints the method name in the log and you do not need to pass.

E.g. if I use statement :

I get this in my log file :

everytime the user clicks refresh at the user index page, the same

Re: html tags in resource bundle

2004-07-12 Thread Juan Alvarado
Ok I gave this a try and it worked. However something VERY weird happened.
 
Since I am using tiles, all of my forwards go to a tiles definition. When I tried your 
suggestion:

String replacementLink = mapping.findForward("audit.app.login").getPath();

super.saveMessage(request, "auditapp.login.duplicate.user.error", 
(String)f.get("email"), replacementLink);

return mapping.getInputForward();

the name of the tiles definition in the forward audit.app.login was inserted into the 
link:

login

but when I click on the link, I do get to the login page. Like I said in my original 
email, I am just picking up struts again after a break from it so I am not aware of 
all the changes that have been made to the framework recently. I would however would 
like to know that this is normal behavior.

Thanks again for your help!!!

Greg Ludington <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

One possibility would be to create a forward (local or global) for the
Action you wish to link, and then, when you save ActionMessages,
create the link, and then pass it as a parametric replacement to the
message.

1) in struts-config.xml, create a forward that maps to the action link
you want in your message, e.g. path="/appRegisterLogin.do"/>.

2) Set your message to have another replacement, like:
auditapp.login.duplicate.user.error=A user with email address: {0}
already exists. If that is your email address, please use that email
address as your login along with the password you
were supplied.

3) In your Action, obtain the path of the forward, get its path, and
place it in the message. Using your code as a basis:

catch(DuplicateUserException dupEx){
log.error("Caught DuplicateUserException in execute of
AuditAppRegistrationAction");

// This is the link created from the forward you defined in step 1
String replacementLink =
mapping.findForward("appRegisterLoginForward").getPath();
super.saveMessage(request, "auditapp.login.duplicate.user.error",
(String)f.get("email"), replacementLink);
return mapping.getInputForward();
}

This way, the creation and rewriting of the link itself is handled by
normal struts mechanisms, and you can manage the links in your
struts-config.xml file.

thanks for your kind reply
For example, for a classic online shop, 
1 BD for customer (for check-in, check-out, list product etc...)
1 BD for admin (for update product price, stock etc...)
1 BD for normal user (for web forum, enquiry, feeback etc...)

does it looks good? 

so if my BD doesn't map to exactly one business object that implement
the service,
like my BD for customer need services from more than one business
object (at least one for product, and one for shopping cart)
is it the role of BD to handle various object ? or use some others
pattern ??

??

I don't consider myself so expert on multithreading :-(
Pls other comments my 'suggestions' if they r wrong :-)

Your BD should simply hide the backend service that you are using
(either EJB or some other technologies)..so it should not modify any
variables or
Do some computation, since it's scope is just to hide what's behind it
In that case, you should not need to worry about MT... but if you are
Still not satisified, make sure that you don't have too many global
Variables (and that you don't modify them..like when u define variables
In Servlets, for example...)

For caching, again, you can cache the BD by writing a Struts PlugIn that
Initializes your BD and put your BD as ServletContext

Not sure about what you mean by saying ' to cache the handler of a
business
Service' .. 
If you have 1 to 1 mapping between bD and business service, you can
initialize it only once inside your BD

I can't say more coz I don't know how ur application is structured..

marco

Hello,

>Do the system has only one business delagate to control the mapping of
>request to business service

it depends on how many business delegate you need in
your application...

it's up to you on how many business delegate you need.
For small applications (like mine at home), usually 1 or 2 is 
Enough..
For large applications, you probably have more but it depends
On the functionality of the application

>the system has the same number of business delagate and business
>service?? so one service would has their own business delegate

in theory yes... but again it depends on how big is your application

if you write 2 BD, they should not have anything in common between the
two (so, probably they will interact with two completely different
busness services)

unless,a gain, ur application Is so small that you can get away with
only one BD...

sorry, one more question..
I have read the business delagate pattern a while but still have little confuse

Do the system has only one business delagate to control the mapping of
request to business service
OR
the system has the same number of business delagate and business
service?? so one service would has their own business delagate

any sample code??

Hello,

>for your factory" ??

by plugIn I meant Struts PlugIn (check struts docs,
http://jakarta.apache.orgs/struts)

a Struts PlugIn allows you to configure components that have
application scope (no session, no request).

It was just a suggestion, because you could implement also the factory
As a singleton

>Do I need to implement Business delegate Factory by myself?
yep

Eventually with the Stuts PlugIn, If you go that way...

Hello,
My 2 cents..
Afaik ServiceLocator is used mainly for looking up
JNDI objects, because it saves you from instantiating a new Context
Every time..

It seems that what you are talking about is a Business delegate
Factory?
If that is the case, you could use a plugIn for your factory, since
It has application context scope..


Behind BD you can either use session or not... and the BD will use
ServiceLocator singleton to lookup your JNDI objects...


Hope this helps

Subject: Struts design problem, any help?

Hi, I am very new in Struts. Can anyone give me some suggestion on the
design of a Service Locator ??

I use ActionServlet as a front controller, and dispatch request to
various Action, then I want all the Actions access my business tier
only by the Service Locator, which return an interface of the
requested service.

I don't want to use session bean currently but I want my design can
upgrade to session bean easily. So I think using a Service locator and
return an interface of a business service is similiar to the EJBHome /
EJBRemote concept. Which I can easily upgrade my application to using
session bean.

However how can I implement the Service Locator? Is it a POJO /
Servlet / or another Struts Action ??

I try to implement it as a POJO Singleton and then share by many
request, but do I need to program the multi-thread part of this POJO
Service Locator by myself ?? What happen if a large number of
concurrent request to that Service Locator?

Any help would be appreciate

Use these methods as per your requirement

It prints the method name in the log and you do not need to pass.

E.g. if I use statement :

agencyDepPortsDropDownList.count() + " " + countrycode + " Ports");

I get this in my log file :

Re: how to disable struts connection pooling logs

They just need to be distributed with the application - in the case of 
JDeveloper adding them to the project will do this - but if you are 
manually deploying your app just make sure those two files end up in the 
/WEB-INF/classes directory - You can even retro-fit them in after you've 
deployed if needs be.

Html Buttons & DynaValidator Forms

2004-07-12 Thread Mike Young
Hi,

I am trying to implement antonio lagnada's  html buttons 'pattern'
(http://j2ee.lagnada.com/struts/html-buttons.htm) with DynaValidatorForms
however I am have problems in the Action form when I try to interrogate
the getters to find which button has been pressed.

I am fairly new to struts so I may have interpreted how to implement this
'pattern' with DynaValidatorForms incorrectly, and would really appreciate
some direction.

here is where my problem lies ... I have my action 'AddTrainer' as follows
...

public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
 ActionForm form,
 HttpServletRequest request,
 HttpServletResponse response){

  ActionForward forward = mapping.getInputForward(); AddTrainerForm
  addTrainerForm = (AddTrainerForm) form;

  String foo = (String)addTrainerForm.get("buttons.submit.name");
---snip
At this point it stack dumps because property buttons.submit.name doesn't
exist. I have toyed with the idea of creating it as a form-property but I
don't think that this is right.

I understand that when submit is pressed 
---snip
Submit
---snip

It will carry out a getButtons().getSubmit().setName("Submit")

But how do I interrogate that setter when I am using dynamic forms?

Here is the other bits of pertiment code ...

strus-config.xml
---snip

   
  
  
  


---snip
  

---snip

Created HtmlButton class as per example in url metioned above

Created AddTrainerButtons as per example in url mentioned above
{ExampleButtons.java}

Modified my AddTrainerForm as follows ...

public class AddTrainerForm extends DynaValidatorForm
 private AddTrainerButtons m_buttons = null;
---snip
 public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request)
{
ActionServlet servlet = super.getServlet(); m_buttons = new
AddTrainerButtons();
}
---snip
 public AddTrainerButtons getButtons() {
  return m_buttons;
 }
 }
 public void setButtons(AddTrainerButtons buttons) {
  m_buttons = buttons;
 }
---snip

thanks to anybody and everybody who may be able to help my understanding
of this!
