If you are using an object whose class implements javax.sql.DataSource, 
you are indeed using a connection pool.  The number of connections in 
the pool is determined by your configuration properties, and the 
getConnection() method will reuse an existing connection from the pool 
(if there is one), only creating new connections when necessary -- and 
when the total number of connections you specify has not yet been reached.

A very important consideration when using connection pools is to ensure 
that you *always* return the connection to the pool, even when an 
exception is encountered.  One pattern I like to follow that ensures 
this is to use a "try ... finally" block, something like this:

   Connection conn = null;
   DataSource ds = ...; // Get a reference to your data source
   try {
   conn = ds.getConnection(); // Allocate a connection from the pool
   ... use the connection as necessary ...
   } catch (SQLException e) {
   ... deal with exceptions as needed ...
   } finally {
   // If you got a connection from the pool, the close() method
   // does *not* close the physical connection; it returns this one
   // to the available pool
   if (conn != null) {
   conn.close();
   }
   }
The "finally" block is always executed (even if an exception occurs), so 
this design idiom ensures that there's no way for me to forget to return 
a connection when I am done with it.

Re: calling request.getInputStream() within Action

Hi Craig,
Yes, I thought as much.
Do you know if it's possible to exactly recreate the binary HTTP body from parsed parameters, or elsewhere for that matter?

The only thing I could think of would be a Filter -- requires Servlet 
2.3 or later -- that would be able to scrape a copy of the incoming 
request, yet still provide getInputStream() and getReader() methods that 
would let the actual servlet being invoked operate normally.

You'll also have to watch out for the complexity that a servlet can call 
*either* getInputStream() *or* getReader() on any single call.  That 
means, among other things, that you'll need to create a request wrapper 
that not only does the copying for you, but also fakes the getReader() 
method, since you'll have already called getInputStream() on the real 
underlying request.

I'm writing a web proxy using HttpClient - currently I've only tested a urlencoded 
form, which works fine with the following code. I wonder how it will fair when it 
encounters a mutipart form - I haven't tested yet.
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
...
if (request.getMethod().toLowerCase().equals("post"))
{
   HttpMethod method = new PostMethod(url.toString());
   PostMethod postMethod = (PostMethod)method;
   // populate form parameters
   Enumeration paramEnum = request.getParameterNames();
   while (paramEnum.hasMoreElements()) {
   String key = ((String) paramEnum.nextElement());
   String[] values = request.getParameterValues(key);
   String value = "";
   for(int i=0; i
   value += values[i] + (i < values.length-1 ? "," : "");
   postMethod.addParameter(key, value);
   }
}
Sorry for the HTML email - outlook web access :)

You'll probably need to check the content type as well ... the above 
works for how browsers normally post data (content type 
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"), but multipart uploads use 
something different.

On the other hand, if you never call getParameterXxx() type methods in 
your servlet, you should have been able to copy the input stream as in 
your original approach -- you might want to double check that you're not 
doing that.

Make sure that the properties file (Resource Bundle file) is set properly in

welcome.title property is defined in the resources file.

The entry for the Message Resources looks like the following in the struts

If the web.xml isn't being loaded, then you're web app would not only not work, it 
would not technically exist on the server.
It's possible that you're xml file is not configured quite right... and the web app 
would still function if the server is not picky about things like valid xml.  Try 
validating your xml and see what happens.

I for one cannot imagine why you would want a button value to be dynamic

is, imagine why you would not want the issue of whether it was a "submit" 
or "reset" or "clear" etc. button to be dynamic.  Maybe you have a use case 
I am not thinking about.  IMHO that the only thing you need to have dynamic 
is the content, not the function of the button, e.g. to make what the 
button looks like dynamic but what the button does static.  I think this 
was Ted's approach too.  I mean I think Ted and I have the same approach on 
that, even though this solution is a lot more convoluted than Ted's.  I

I don't think there is a better way, I'm just suggesting maybe hardcoding those to 
drop downs for testing purposes, and eliminate the JS.  You're JSP looks right, and 
I'm assuming that your form bean has the return values as arrays if their 
multi-select, or single strings and they're otherwise set up exactly the same.
Technically you're submitting the same form twice, so it should be working.  I'm 
wondering if it will work without the javascript based on the theory of boiling down 
the problem to it's aboslute basics, and that would be: are you in fact set up 
correctly to submit 2 select tags at once.

Re: How to use roles with Struts

Ron,

You can associate roles with each action mapping so that only users with
certain roles can access that action.

close. :)  i display a page with two dropdowns.  the first one is
populated.  after selecting a value from the first dropdown my action
should get that dropdowns value out of the form and use that value to
get the contents of the other dropdown and then return to the same
JSP.
the javascript that i'm using to submit the form checks to make sure
the dropdown value isn't = -1.  then it submits the form.  i've added
an alert to the javascript and am able to see the value of the
dropdown there.
however, in the action when i try to get the dropdowns value out of
the form i only get -1, the initial value.
the form is able to get textfield values from the JSP, but not the
select values...

the second dropdown relies on the selected value of the first
dropdown.  using the javascript to submit the form was the only option
i could think of since i could use the onchange event to resubmit the
form.  is there a better way to to that?  i really don't think the
javascript is causing the problem since i'm able to display both the
value of the dropdown and textfield in alert boxes when submitting. 
but for some reason the form or action doesn't pick up the selected
value of the dropdown...

Ayup... in the ballpark though it's called   not servlet mapping.  
The security is URI based, from:
http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.3/tutorial/doc/index.html
Chapter 24, Section Specifying Security Constraints.
Any URI works, even if you don't have it mapped to a servlet.  I have been known to 
make all my actions follow the pattern /context/role/action.do, and then in the 
url-pattern use /role/* just coz I'm lazy.  Can't always do that, but it is nice when 
you can.

From
http://struts.apache.org/api/org/apache/struts/action/PlugIn.html
I read:
Configuration can be accomplished by providing standard JavaBeans property setter 
methods, which will all have been called before the init() method is invoked.

I can assume that something like this would work:

public class SomeLogicalClassName implements Plugin {
private String aWellNamedPropertyFieldYouWantToSet;
public void get...
public void set...
}

and in your config:




and voila! your plugin is configured.  Maybe... I could be talking out of my hat here. 
 But that seems logical.

Subject: How to use roles with Struts
Hi all :-)
I am wondering how some of the experienced users use roles 
with struts.
I saw there is a query for roles in the API (getRoles()), but 
could not 
figure out how to configure ACLs with struts, or more 
specific: where to 
define which action is allowed for which role, and, and I 
guess that is 
done through Java, how to set the user's role in, for 
example, after ge 
logs in.

My application will use 3 roles, and perhaps an additional admin role:
some actions / pages will have unlimited access ( guest or visitor)
some others will need a log in (user)
and some others will need a privelege (priveleged user).
Could you share your experience?

2 approaches, the declartive security that is part of web.xml or roll your own.
With roll your own there are two approaches:
1) A base action the checks roles and other authorization before doing anything, and 
your other
actions inherit from that. (or you can just hard code the authorization check in each 
class)
2) Use Filters.
I like using filters for applications that must be secure, since I can choose a 
default deny approach, rather then the more permissive default allow that the 
declaritive security provides.  In addition, as your access rules and authorization 
methodologies change, you can change with them without having to wait for your server 
to change too..
On the other hand for a public side website, I prefer the web.xml version because I'm 
lazy and don't want to think about security for the most part.  The public side is 
usually better to have default allow becasue you want most people to view the entire 
site.  Its easier to specify what to protect then what to allow in such cases.

What I currently imagine as to be a good solution is a Permission 
setting on the action configuration (e.g. at struts-config.xml) which 
will be automatically checked at the controller instance, and forward 
users to login / not permitted pages.

Cheers and thanx advance,
Ron

Configuring plug-ins using

2004-07-15 Thread Geeta Ramani

Hi all:

I have a question regarding the use of plug-ins. According to the docs,

"For PlugIns that require configuration themselves, the nested  element 
is available."

My question is simply this: how do I retrieve the value that I set in a set-property 
tag? I am sure this is dead simple to most of you, but even after googling for two 
hours and looking at the source code for the tiles plug-in I seem to be going 
nowhere...(:(

Thanks in advance for any help!

Just to make sure I understand what's happening.
You display a page, user selects from first list, the page submits, the action does 
it's thing,  and populates the second list, then the user selects from that list, 
submits and at that point you only have the first selection and not the second.  In 
addition the javascript seems to know what's going on, but the form bean doesn't.

I would try a dummy action that would fill both lists, then select from both lists and 
get that working, then I would try doing it your way.  I have a sneaking suspicion 
that there is something funky going on with the javascript, but don't know what it 
would be.  Eliminating it and getting the basic operations working first would be a 
good start.

Re: Re: The absolute uri: http://struts.apache.org/tags-html cannot be resolved

That's it - it works. Thanks very much.

So the docs at http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/configuration.html#dd_config_taglib
are wrong, or at least very misleading, because they use
struts.apache.org. They do say to use the uris above, but everyone is
going to do what I did and just cut and paste, then wonder why the uri
doesn't resolve.

2 approaches, the declartive security that is part of web.xml or roll your own.

With roll your own there are two approaches:
1) A base action the checks roles and other authorization before doing anything, and 
your other
actions inherit from that. (or you can just hard code the authorization check in each 
class)
2) Use Filters.

I like using filters for applications that must be secure, since I can choose a 
default deny approach, rather then the more permissive default allow that the 
declaritive security provides.  In addition, as your access rules and authorization 
methodologies change, you can change with them without having to wait for your server 
to change too..

On the other hand for a public side website, I prefer the web.xml version because I'm 
lazy and don't want to think about security for the most part.  The public side is 
usually better to have default allow becasue you want most people to view the entire 
site.  Its easier to specify what to protect then what to allow in such cases.

Re:

sl_getGroups is being called.  i printed out alerts when i was writing
it.  and i have Sys.outs in the action.  besides, my JSP wouldn't show
up if it wasn't :)

the javascript is fairly simple:  (i know there is a more Strutsy way
to do this, i'm getting there...)

function sl_getGroups(frm) {
if (frm.selectedShoppingList.options[frm.selectedShoppingList.selectedIndex].value
!= "-1") {
  frm.selectedShoppingList.options[frm.selectedShoppingList.selectedIndex].value
= "-1";
  frm.action += "?step=getGroups";
  frm.submit();
 }
}

the javascript just checks to see that the selectedShoppingList is not
"-1", the initial value.  it then appends my step parameter to the
action.  this is working.  what is funny is that the javascript
recognizes that the selectedShoppingList is not "-1", but the form
doesn't pick that up...

any suggestions?

How to use roles with Struts

2004-07-15 Thread ron1

Hi all :-)
I am wondering how some of the experienced users use roles with struts.
I saw there is a query for roles in the API (getRoles()), but could not 
figure out how to configure ACLs with struts, or more specific: where to 
define which action is allowed for which role, and, and I guess that is 
done through Java, how to set the user's role in, for example, after ge 
logs in.

My application will use 3 roles, and perhaps an additional admin role:
some actions / pages will have unlimited access ( guest or visitor)
some others will need a log in (user)
and some others will need a privelege (priveleged user).
Could you share your experience?
What I currently imagine as to be a good solution is a Permission 
setting on the action configuration (e.g. at struts-config.xml) which 
will be automatically checked at the controller instance, and forward 
users to login / not permitted pages.

Cheers and thanx advance,
Ron

html:image question

2004-07-15 Thread Jeff Stewart

How can I pass parameters in a 
I have four of these that will basically do the same thing, issue a 
query. But, the query is parameterized.
It make little sense to do it the Husted way and have multiple image  
bean buttons to represent which html:image
was selected. IMHO, that approach is too much like hard coding. Any 
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I need a little help understanding how to do this.
I am parameterizing the handling of a few actions in a single action 
class, and I decided to go with a single, shared form JSP, because it's 
a big form. So I need to use a switch of some type to set the "action" 
parameter of my html:form tag depending on the current usecase, and also 
to conditionally render or omit a couple of fields of the form.

For example, if the action that led to the form page is 
"/usecase/viewadd" then the user gets a blank form, and I need to set 
the form action parameter to be "/usecase/add" If the action was 
"/usecase/viewedit" instead, then the user gets a prepopulated form, and 
I need to set the form action parameter to be "/usecase/save". You get 
the idea. The part I need help with is building the JSP switch.

How does the JSP tag access the current "use case", or command 
parameter? Do you have to manually set request attributes? What object 
does "userAction" refer to in the above example?

Also, is there a Struts tag that will do the same thing? I don't have JSTL.
Thanks,

alrighty,  i've got this half figured out.  i can populate my

off the page.
i have an action that gets a collection of beans and puts them in
session for the JSP to use.  the JSP renders and displays those
objects correctly in the dropdowns.  when the first dropdown is
changed an onchange event fires off the previous action to populate

Don't need to... in fact if you look at the way Tiles allows you to list a series of 
jsp pages, you can do 
that as well.  By default I usually just add that capability into my default jsp 
layout for maximum flexibility, especially on a 3 column layout.

thank you for your help.

i think part of my problem was that i was trying to use a
DynaActionForm instead of just creating and using my own ActionForm. 
now it appears to be working... for the most part. :)

RE: Tiles, Validation and reuse of HTML Form

2004-07-15 Thread Josh Holtzman

Brian,

I agree.

In our case, the site is actually designed in that there is one page that
functions as both the catalog and item page.  Don't ask...

But yes, /showItem.do?item=1 is a better approach in my opinion than 6
action mappings.

I think we have resolved our issue, simply by taking a better approach.

Thank you for all your responses.

Just curious...
How is this more then one use case?  Namely, the "Browse Catalog" use case?
I mean... if you have 6 sure you can code each page... but if you have
600 yikes.
Actions could be something like:
/showCatalogPage.do?page=1   ShowCatalogPage
/showItem.do?item=1  ShowCatalogItem

Re: The absolute uri: http://struts.apache.org/tags-html cannot be resolved

2004-07-15 Thread Paul Spencer

Eric,
I am using Struts 1.1 and use the following:
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html"; prefix="html" %>
Notice the host is jakarta.apache.org not struts.apache.org.

<%@ taglib prefix="html" uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html"; %>
I also shouldn't need any tld files in WEB-INF/lib - all I need is struts.jar.
I'm deploying on Tomcat 5.0.25 which should handle this. But instead I
get a 500:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The absolute uri:

This same mechanism is working perfectly well for JSTL, that is:
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; %>
is finding the TLD for JSTL core in the JSTL far file in WEB-INF/lib just fine.
Any clues anyone?

Re: Tiles, Validation and reuse of HTML Form

I do it with a seperate action for each use case. I find it tedious but 
have not found a better way.

Josh Holtzman wrote:
Hello All,

I've tried to search the list archives for previous threads on this topic,
but it appears the search feature is not working.

We are building a simple website that offers about a half dozen products for
sale. 


We have one dedicated page layout (the product page) that contains a photo
and description of the product.  On this page there is also a list of the
other 5 products.  By clicking on any one of these products, the page is
refreshed, and the new product information appears in the same layout.  Also
on this page is an HTML form that is used to add items to the shopping cart.
From this form a user can choose any one of the 6 products from a select
menu, type a quantity, and submit the form.. To add items to the shopping
cart.  This form is the same on all the product pages.

For the sake of GUI reuse and maintenance, we have implemented the site with
tiles.  For this particular page we have created a base template named
"website.product" containing the header, footer, body layout, and html form
tiles.  For each of the 6 products we have extended this base template, and
added a tile with the product photo, description, and price.

In the struts config file we created an Action element for each of the 6
product pages.  For instance:


path="/products/lazydazy"
  parameter="website.product.lazydazy"
  scope="request"
  type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
  validate="false">


And


path="/products/sallysue"
  parameter="website.product.sallysue"
  scope="request"
  type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
  validate="false">


The following is our dilemma:

We are using the same tile containing the html form (which we declared in
the base template) for all these pages.  This doesn't present any problem,
except when validation fails.  When the validation fails, Struts must
determine which page to return and display the error message.  But our
problem is, the Action element requires we specify a single location.


path="/addtocart"
 input="website.product.lazydazy"
 name="addToCartForm"
 scope="request"
 type="com.americandatacorp.struts.action.cart.Add"
 validate="true">
 


But if an item is added to the cart from the "website.product.sallysue"
template, and validation fails, the user is returned to the
"website.product.lazydazy" page with the error displayed.

Does anyone have any suggestions, other than having to create a seperate
"addtocart" action for every page?

Thank you for your assistance in advance.

Hi Bill
Thanks for your response.
I've tried with a servlet too, but even without calling
request.getParameter the stream is still empty:
 

One way to paint yourself into this particular corner is if you're 
trying this on a POST request.  As soon as you call a method like 
request.getParameter(), the container has to read the content of the 
input stream (since that is where the key/value pairs are), so trying to 
read the stream after that is not going to work.

6 pages?  Here I believe your problem lies.  Why not 1 page for all 6 rather then 6 
seperate pages?  That makes returning back much easier, otherwise you are right... you 
will have to create a seperate action for each for the validation errors to return 
properly without doing some handwaving.  You might be able to do something the 
validation( blah ) method of the form, and redirect from there rather then depend on 
what struts does. However, that means you can't do client side validation.

RE: calling request.getInputStream() within Action

Hi Paul

I'm trying to pass it to HttpClient - I'm writing a screen scraper
(proxy).
At the moment I have to enumerate the request parameters and pass them
one by one to HttpClient - I have a feeling this won't work when I test
it with a multipart encoded form (although I may be able to make use of
the struts multipart stuff). It's a whole lot easier to write:

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
HttpMethod method = new PostMethod(url.toString());
postMethod.setRequestBody(request.getInputStream());

Re: The absolute uri: http://struts.apache.org/tags-html cannot be resolved

Well, I have the TLDs in my WEB-INF/lib -- I haven't tried removing them 
to see what happens ...

Re: The absolute uri: http://struts.apache.org/tags-html cannot be resolved

Are you using the nightly build (or 1.2.1?) The taglib directive
<%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html"; prefix="html" %>
works fine for me. Maybe you have an old jar or TLD lying around in your 
classpath or WEB-INF?

RE: [OT] Best practice for background service

2004-07-15 Thread Daniel Perry

Nope, you dont need to start another process - i use a struts plugin to load
and initialise Quartz.  It will run in other threads, but this will all be
done for you behind the scenes.

The code for my struts plugin is below (if it's of any help).  Add the
following entry to the struts-config-default.xml in the plug-in section to
load it:



It runs a "Job" every 30 mins.

This job takes the form:

public class RemoveOldProvisionalTrainingJob implements StatefulJob {
public void execute(JobExecutionContext arg0) throws JobExecutionException {
// code to do actual work here
}
}


Note that i'm implementing StatfulJob - this stops it running two of the
same job at the same time.

RE: calling request.getInputStream() within Action

Hi Bill

Thanks for your response.
I've tried with a servlet too, but even without calling
request.getParameter the stream is still empty:


public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet {
   ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("LocalStrings");
   
   public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
 HttpServletResponse response)
   throws IOException, ServletException 
   {
int length = request.getContentLength(); // 18
String contentType= request.getContentType();
  // application/x-www-form-urlencoded

InputStream inputStream = request.getInputStream();
int bytesAvailable = inputStream.available(); // 0

byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int bytesread;

// bytesread is always -1
while((bytesread = inputStream.read(buf)) != -1)
{
// do stuff
}
   }

   public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
 HttpServletResponse response)
   throws IOException, ServletException
   {
   doGet(request, response);
   }
}


This should work, right?
I'm starting to think something is wrong with my Tomcat!

Rob

It sounds like you are correct -- if request.getParameter() has been 
called you cannot get the input stream -- have you considered using a 
Servlet instead?

I think somebody needs to take a little look at this. It doesn't seem
to know whether to do

Re: [OT] Editor for Struts/J2ee apps

I dunno, it's a good product and I really like it but I've never seen 
any awareness of jsp editing.

I've been using it for a while now as well.
And cause it hasn't ever indicated that it understands scriptlets I've 
never used it for debugging.

Then again, I'm aiming for zero java code in my jsp's.

Struts Validator & Date Patterns

2004-07-15 Thread Enrique Medina

Hi,
I would like to know if it's possible to indicate a validation of
type "date" indicating as a dattePatern/datePatternStrict a key from
an application resource message file. I mean, instead of:



datePatternStrictMMdd

to be able to indicate the "MMdd" dynamically (to be found
through a key in a resource bundle).
Thanks in advance,
Enrique Medina.

RE: [OT] Best practice for background service

2004-07-15 Thread Marco Mistroni

Hello,
Sorry for 'OT' for asking questions about Quartz..
Is it so that I have to start a separate 'process' for Quartz to run?
So, at the end I will have my application server running as well as a 
Quartz process running 'outside' the application server?

Quartz is very easy to use.  No need for thread programming.

But "Job" classes are created as and when they are needed (so no
initialisation and shared object).

Create a struts plug-in which initialises quartz, and sets up the jobs
(very
little code needed).

Re: validation wierdness possibly related to multiple struts config files

I got confused recently about validator versions  - validator 1.1.3 has just
been released and thats what Struts 1.2.1 uses - validator 1.2 is still in
development so you need to be using

 http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dtds/validator_1_1_3.dtd";>

Bryan's recommendation of Spring and Quartz sounds good though I have

I suggest you look at the java.util.Timer and java.util.TimerTask 
objects -- they work well for these type of services. See

What I plan to do is to create a controller servlet that is loaded on

Re: calling request.getInputStream() within Action

Robert, I found the following link that discusses this:
http://archives.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0106&L=jsp-interest&F=&S=&P=49196
It sounds like you are correct -- if request.getParameter() has been 
called you cannot get the input stream -- have you considered using a 
Servlet instead?

Hi Struts Users
I'm trying to get the InputStream to read the binary contents of the
request within an Action's execute method. E.g.

public ActionForward execute(
ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException {
InputStream inputStream = request.getInputStream();
// bytesAvailable is always 0
int bytesAvailable = inputStream.available();
int bytesRead;
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
while((bytesRead = inputStream.read(buf)) != -1)
{
// do stuff
}
}
So bytesAvailable is always 0, and inputStream.read(buf) immediately
returns -1.
I have heard that calling request.getParamter() before trying to access
the input stream can affect accessing the input stream. I believe struts
calls request.getParamter (it must do to populate the form bean).
My question is, how can I get access to the entire binary contents of
the HTTP body?
I'm using Tomcat 5.0.25 BTW

Re: final getter/setter methods in actionform and valueobject classes

See section of 8.4.3.3 of the Java Language Specification at 
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/classes.doc.html.

There is nothing wrong with declaring them as final; it means that the 
methods cannot be overriden by subclasses.

What free plugins for eclipse 3 do you recommend to build a complete enviroment to 
develop J2EE applications using Struts?

A complete enviroment includes:
UML modeling
DataBase connection
J2EE development
Struts framework

Thanks,

Re: LabelValueBean and BeanMap with and for indexed properties

No I see no difficulty in relying on it. I was just saying the same as Joe
had already said but I just thought it would give you more comfort to know
the principle that the beanutils committers are working on.

Just for information, the inconsistency issue currently in beanutils is
where you have a bean that extends a Map but also implements some simple
properties.

For example

public class MyBean extends Map {

   protected String foo;
   public void setFoo(String foo) {
  this.foo= foo;
   }
   public String getFoo() {
  return foo;
   }
}

Currently if you call PropertyUtils.setProperty("foo", "bar") then beanutils
would set the value in the "foo" property rather than the Map. But using
PropertyUtils.getProperty("foo") ignores the "foo" property and only looks
for an entry in the Map with a key of "foo".

Its likely that beanutils will change in the future so that the "setter"
works in the same way as the "getter".

Re: validation wierdness possibly related to multiple struts config files

Objet : calling request.getInputStream() within Action

Hi Struts Users

I'm trying to get the InputStream to read the binary contents of the
request within an Action's execute method. E.g.



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

InputStream inputStream = request.getInputStream();

// bytesAvailable is always 0
int bytesAvailable = inputStream.available();

int bytesRead;
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
while((bytesRead = inputStream.read(buf)) != -1)
{
// do stuff
}
}

So bytesAvailable is always 0, and inputStream.read(buf) immediately
returns -1.

I have heard that calling request.getParamter() before trying to access
the input stream can affect accessing the input stream. I believe struts
calls request.getParamter (it must do to populate the form bean).

My question is, how can I get access to the entire binary contents of
the HTTP body?

I'm using Tomcat 5.0.25 BTW

Re: LabelValueBean and BeanMap with and for indexed properties

I've been doing a bit of work on PropertyUtils bugs recently and discussing
some discrepencies with how simple/mapped properties are handled between the
different methods with a couple of the other beanutils committers.

Quoting from Craig McClanahan

"The standard implementations of expression evaluation (JSTL 1.0/1.1, JSP
2.0, JSF 1.0/1.1) all conform to the way that BeanUtils currently works -- 
if the object you pass implements Map, it is *always* treated as a  Map."

There are currently some discrepencies in beanutils where the above
statement isn't followed - but, from the discussion over on commons, its
likely that in a  future version of beanutils it will be changed so that it
is always consistent with the above statement.

This is kind of a trick question, or at least a trick subject.

In a Struts application, the best practice for database access is for Struts to be unaware that there is even such a thing as a database. If you are using the Struts best practice, then it shouldn't matter whether the database example is in a Struts application or not.

The Struts Mailreader demonstrates an excellent practice for database access. It
defines an POJO interface with the methods that accept and/or return the data that the
application needs. The Actions expect that singleton instances of these plain-old Java
objects will be in application scope under a known name. The Actions speak only to the
interface. A Struts PlugIn loads an implementation of the interfaces into application
scope under the expected names, and we are ready to rock.
The POJO JavaBeans can be implemented using whatever technology you like. They should
not know there are living in a Struts application, or even a Web application, and
should be fully testable. You should be able to write them using stock examples for
your chosen technology, blissfully unaware of whether they will be used by Struts or
not.

The Struts Mailreader demonstrates an excellent practice for database access. It 
defines an POJO interface with the methods that accept and/or return the data that the 
application needs. The Actions expect that singleton instances of these plain-old Java 
objects will be in application scope under a known name. The Actions speak only to the 
interface. A Struts PlugIn loads an implementation of the interfaces into application 
scope under the expected names, and we are ready to rock.

The POJO JavaBeans can be implemented using whatever technology you like. They should 
not know there are living in a Struts application, or even a Web application, and 
should be fully testable. You should be able to write them using stock examples for 
your chosen technology, blissfully unaware of whether they will be used by Struts or 
not.

Re: Struts Example for standards

2004-07-15 Thread Ted Husted

But, it's not required.

This check was made in earlier versions of the Struts Mailreader and justified as 
"defensive programming". If the ActionForm was missing, the Action created one. Later, 
the check was removed, since the Action should not be compensating for a broken API 
contract. If an Action expects an ActionForm, than any ActionMapping that wants to use 
it must provide one. The Action should fail if its contract is broken.

The best strategy might be to check for null, log if its missing, and then throw a 
very large exception to "nip it the bud".

Objet : calling request.getInputStream() within Action

Hi Struts Users

I'm trying to get the InputStream to read the binary contents of the
request within an Action's execute method. E.g.



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

InputStream inputStream = request.getInputStream();

// bytesAvailable is always 0
int bytesAvailable = inputStream.available();

int bytesRead;
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
while((bytesRead = inputStream.read(buf)) != -1)
{
// do stuff
}
}

So bytesAvailable is always 0, and inputStream.read(buf) immediately
returns -1.

I have heard that calling request.getParamter() before trying to access
the input stream can affect accessing the input stream. I believe struts
calls request.getParamter (it must do to populate the form bean).

My question is, how can I get access to the entire binary contents of
the HTTP body?

I'm using Tomcat 5.0.25 BTW

TIA
Rob
