Access Struts objects from a session listener

[Ephemeris Lappis]

I need to access some Struts objects, like forward mappings, from a session
listener, or other part of the application's code where no request is
available. Is it possible, and, if it is, what is the best way to do it ?
I found in the ServletContext attributes an object of type
org.struts.action.ForwardMappings that may be interesting, but this class
doesn't appear in the API documentation. Is it a private type ?
Thanks for your help.

jsf-developers -- new Yahoo group

[Oswald Campesato]

Hello:

Since I didn't find any groups specifically devoted to
JSF, today I took the plunge and created a new Yahoo 
group (details below).

Though the primary focus of the group is JSF-related 
questions, initially I would expect that there will 
also be significant overlap with Struts-related
topics,
such as migrating from Struts to JSF (which probably
comprises almost everyone:)

I'm inviting everyone to join, and I hope that this
group will assist not only the people who want to
learn 
"pure" JSF, but also those people (including moi) who 
want to learn the details of making a "transition"
from Struts to JSF

ttfn,

Oswald

About Struts + JBoss preference issue

[Koon Yue Lam]

Hi ! My application has change from Struts + Tomcat to Struts + Jboss 3.X

I create various struts Actions to deal with incoming request, in the
Action class, it preform remote lookup of session bean's home
interface and create, destory ... it.

My session bean has an DAO attach to it to preform database related stuffs
NO entiy beans in my application since transaction is not a problem
and most DB query are read only

The question is the speed, it is much slower when I request an Action
instead of directly request a servlet. Is it normal ? I don't mind a
little bit preformance tradeoff but I want to know the delay is caused
by Struts or something else.

Any help?

Actually a bunch of us get in this debate a lot and it would be 
interesting to see a "code off" challenge of two views (JSP vs Velocity)

Usually the examples you see either bastardize one or the other and

How about running the samples that come with struts (struts-example)?
They use a resource bundle and if there is a issue as you described,
then certainly the text wouldn't be able to be display the text. Try
it , better yet maybe you can send the war file to me, I'll see if I

Reloading Application.resources (Again)

[Doug]

Yes, I know this has been asked before, and I know it's not a base 
capability.  However, someone posted this solution several months ago, 
which seems reasonable to me.  Can anyone comment on whether there's any 
reason not to use this approach?



MessageResourcesFactory factory =
MessageResourcesFactory.createFactory();
MessageResources resources =
factoryObject.createResources(nameOfMessage);
ServletContext ctx = getServlet().getServletContext();
ctx.setAttribute(Globals.MESSAGES_KEY, resources);

Re: App scoped bean to be used with html:optionsCollection in JSP

 was indeed 
the fix.  Thank you Jim, you rock.  What I don't understand is that I

I would check the java code and make sure that there is a getList for

Re: App scoped bean to be used with html:optionsCollection in JSP

I load my states in two arrays in a PlugIn -- the labels ("Alabama") and 
the values ("AL"), and set them as application scope attributes.

Then I simply refer to those attributes in my combos, like this:

Because it's wrapped in an html:select with a property name that matches 
one of my form bean properties, it remains populated correctly after 
form validation errors, etc.

Hope that helps, I read this kind of quickly.

Hello. I have searched through the list for this or similar issues but

disclaimer is in the hopes that I don't get thoroughly flamed if I 
somehow missed a post. :) Also, if I am going about this the wrong 
way, *please* let me know.

I have several lists that I wish to use in forms and result pages for 
checkboxes and options. These lists (all 50 states, various 
majors/options for college, etc.) will appear on several pages across 
the application and their values placed in the database when selected. 
I want to cache or quickly pull these lists for use via tag libraries.

My current implementation is as follows:
I have my lists stored in xml files with the following design:




Example:


New York
NY


I have a class called LabelValueListBean that houses an ArrayList of 
LabelValueBeans. It has two methods of importance - populate(String 
filename) and getList().
-- getList() returns the ArrayList containing the LabelValueBeans
-- populate(String filename) is a static method that takes an xml file 
of the above format and uses Digester to create a LabelValueBean for 
each set element and to place all LabelValueBeans in an instance of 
LabelValueListBean

I then have a class that extends Plug-In to instantiate my 
application-wide objects. All of my xml files are listed by filename 
in my ApplicationResources file. I then use the messages as filename 
arguments for the populate() method of each LabelValueListBean.. I 
then set each LabelValueListBean as an attribute in the application 
scope.

Current code:
// msgres is a MessageResources object
// sc is the ServletContext object
String statesList = msgres.getMessage("list.states");
statesNew = LabelValueListBean.populate(sc.getRealPath(statesList));
sc.setAttribute("statesNew", statesNew);
// I now print out the LabelValueListBean
System.out.println(statesNew.toString());
The above executes without fail and the println shows that the 
LabelValueListBean is indeed populated.

I hope the above is enough background information to work with.
I have tried various methods, all of which failed, of accessing the 
LabelValueListBean object in a JSP page via tag libraries for use in 
html:optionsCollection and the like.

Attempts:

The above returns the following:
javax.servlet.ServletException: No getter method for property list of 
bean statesTest


In my desperation:




javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot find bean Label: Alabama --- 
Value: AL
Label: Alaska --- Value: AK
Label: Arizona --- Value: AZ
... (the rest of the toString() of LabelValueListBean)

RE: character encoding

[Meier, Niclas]

Hi,

to get the encoding right the outgoing encoding (JSP-page) and the incoming encoding 
have to bet he same. You should define the enconfig of the JSP by:

1. Setting the content-type in the HTML Page


2.  Defining the contentType;charset for the JSPC
<[EMAIL PROTECTED] contentType="test/html:charset=UTF-8"%>

3. Defining The encoding type and charset of the form:


The Opera and Firefox Browsers provide better informations about the content encoding 
than the IE. You should check the encoding in one of those. The browser may choose a 
different charset for displaying the page (and form) and you won't get UTF-8 data back.

This procedure worked fine on at least two major projects.

Regards,
Niclas

Carl-Eric,

 Yes, I tried the charset on the form but found it didn't do any good.

 But what do you force the Encoding to in your Filter?  How can you 
know with any certitude how the browser encoded the data values before 
sending it to you??  It probably works well if the browser is setup to 
"auto-select" the encoding, but what do you do if they have it explicitly 
set to something other than what you are assuming?

RE: Re[3]: character encoding

The new JSF spec does allow for Content-Type lookup, here's a bit of code
that I used in my implementation to find the content type out of that
header, it might be of some use to you or whoever:

protected static final Pattern PATTERN_CHARSET =
Pattern.compile(".*charset\\s*=\\s*([\\w\\-]+)(\\s*|;).*");

/**
 * Grab the character encoding from the request, if not found, check the
 * stored value. Finally, set the character encoding on the request
 * 
 * @param context
 * @param stored
 * @throws FacesException
 */
protected void setCharacterEncoding(FacesContext context) throws
FacesException
{
ExternalContext extCtx = context.getExternalContext();
Object request = extCtx.getRequest();
if (request instanceof ServletRequest)
{
String contentType = (String)
extCtx.getRequestHeaderMap().get("Content-Type");
String charset = null;
if (contentType != null)
{
Matcher match = PATTERN_CHARSET.matcher(contentType);
if (match.lookingAt())
{
charset = match.group(1);
}
}

if (charset == null) charset = (String)
extCtx.getSessionMap().get(CHARACTER_ENCODING_KEY);

if (charset != null)
{
try
{
((ServletRequest)
request).setCharacterEncoding(charset);
}
catch (UnsupportedEncodingException uee)
{
extCtx.log("Error Encoding: " + charset, uee);
}
}

App scoped bean to be used with html:optionsCollection in JSP

[Kevin McAbee]

Hello.  I have searched through the list for this or similar issues but 
have been unable to find a good reference post to work off.  That 
disclaimer is in the hopes that I don't get thoroughly flamed if I 
somehow missed a post. :)  Also, if I am going about this the wrong 
way, *please* let me know.

I have several lists that I wish to use in forms and result pages for 
checkboxes and options.  These lists (all 50 states, various 
majors/options for college, etc.) will appear on several pages across 
the application and their values placed in the database when selected.  
I want to cache or quickly pull these lists for use via tag libraries.

My current implementation is as follows:
I have my lists stored in xml files with the following design:




Example:

   
 New York
 NY
   

I have a class called LabelValueListBean that houses an ArrayList of 
LabelValueBeans.  It has two methods of importance - populate(String 
filename) and getList().
-- getList() returns the ArrayList containing the LabelValueBeans
-- populate(String filename) is a static method that takes an xml file 
of the above format and uses Digester to create a LabelValueBean for 
each set element and to place all LabelValueBeans in an instance of 
LabelValueListBean

I then have a class that extends Plug-In to instantiate my 
application-wide objects.  All of my xml files are listed by filename 
in my ApplicationResources file.  I then use the messages as filename 
arguments for the populate() method of each LabelValueListBean..  I 
then set each LabelValueListBean as an attribute in the application 
scope.

Current code:
// msgres is a MessageResources object
// sc is the ServletContext object
String statesList = msgres.getMessage("list.states");
statesNew = LabelValueListBean.populate(sc.getRealPath(statesList));
sc.setAttribute("statesNew", statesNew);
// I now print out the LabelValueListBean
System.out.println(statesNew.toString());
The above executes without fail and the println shows that the 
LabelValueListBean is indeed populated.

I hope the above is enough background information to work with.
I have tried various methods, all of which failed, of accessing the 
LabelValueListBean object in a JSP page via tag libraries for use in 
html:optionsCollection and the like.

Attempts:
( is the Jakarta application tag library)

  
 
  

The above returns the following:
javax.servlet.ServletException: No getter method for property list of 
bean statesTest


In my desperation:

  


javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot find bean Label: Alabama --- 
Value: AL
Label: Alaska --- Value: AK
Label: Arizona --- Value: AZ
... (the rest of the toString() of LabelValueListBean)


What am I doing wrong?  How can I fix this?  I am going about this a 
totally wrong way?  I figure the solution is probably quite simple and 
under my foolish nose.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Kevin

Re: Tag question

[Erik Weber]

Sorry if this post repeats -- I find that occasionally they are not 
making it . . .


Jim, "actor" is precisely what I meant!
It goes /context/controller/actor/usecase (in my case)
Sorry I didn't say that correctly.
But as you point out, I think it doesn't change the point of
the post, that I need to manually make sure the name of the controller
servlet gets into the hyperlinks.
I wonder if a mapping of "/services" work better than "/services/*". 
Haven't tried that . . .

Thanks,
Erik

Subject: Re: Tag question
Sorry, I should have explained better what I am doing.
My controller Servlet is mapped to /services/*
All requests for JSP pages go through the controller, via action 
mappings. The actions have paths like:

/usecase/view_edit_page
/usecase/save_existing_record
/usecase/view_add_page
/usecase/add_new_record
So the full links look like:
/services/usecase/view_edit_page
meanhwhile other resources have paths like:
/images/some_image.gif
This keeps other resources out of the scope of the controller (and 
perhaps into the scope of some other servlet). Also, direct 
JSP access 
is prohibited.

So in places where I am building hyperlinks (within JSPs), I 
need to get 
"/services" into each link, in front of the action URI, but 
behind the 
context. And I want to do this in a portable way (in case the Servlet 
mapping changes).
   

If you use html:link and forwards then you can do whatever you want, and won't 
have to change the links themselves.  This would be pretty portable as well.
 

So the idea is to put something like  which literally would be 
"/services" + "/usecase/action" or 
"/services/usecase/action". Using the 
"page" attribute to the tag makes it come out right 
("/context/services/usecase/action").

(When I say "usecase" here I really should say "collection of 
usecases" 
or "function group" to be more accurate).

I would be interested in hearing other mapping strategies. 
   

I map jsp and directories by actor rather then use case, or use case package.  
Makes everything easier (especially declaritive security, then again I've kept the 
*.do mapping, rather then what you're doing.
That would make your url something like services/actor/useCase, which doesn't get 
around your problem.
 

For now I'm 
making sure the JSP can call a method or access a variable 
that returns 
"/services".

Then I'm out of luck. That's the biggest problem with Strut's lack of
support for the accept-charset attribute. *Most of the time* it works
that if you send the response in UTF-8 the next request will come in
as UTF-8 too. That's what I'm doing now - I send out only UTF-8 forms
and assume that I get the same back. It's an ugly hack, but the only
way that seems to work at the moment.

I asked a few weeks ago if there was any way for me to extend the form
tag to support this attribute, or whether there is any good reason why
it is not implemented. So far I haven't received an answer.

Carl-Eric,
Yes, I tried the charset on the form but found it didn't do any good.
But what do you force the Encoding to in your Filter?  How can you 
know with any certitude how the browser encoded the data values before 
sending it to you??  It probably works well if the browser is setup to 
"auto-select" the encoding, but what do you do if they have it explicitly 
set to something other than what you are assuming?

I am using a Filter (from the Servlet API) that gets the request
before anything else in the chain and calls setEncoding() on it before
passing it on.
What would be great, just to get a little more consistency into this,
would be if the html:form-tag would finally support the accept-charset
attribute as specified in HTML4.01.

character encoding

[Larry Young]

Hello,
I've run into a bit of a problem and I'd like to know how others 
have solved it.

It's basically a character encoding issue.  I post my struts-based 
JSP page to the user, they enter some data, and then submit the page back 
to my Action.  The data they enter may contain multi-byte characters.  If I 
pull the data out of the parameter list (using PropertyUtils), I'm getting 
a whole bunch of extra characters for each multi-byte character (ASCII 
works just fine).  If I set the encoding value in the Request to UTF-8 
before calling PropertyUtils, it seems to work great for non-Form data 
values.  However, the since the Form is populated before my Action is 
called, these String values have already been decoded and are wrong.

I'd like to hear how others have solved this problem.  I can see 
that one solution is to replace the RequestProcessor and hardcode the 
"setEncoding" on the Request to UTF-8, or subclass the whole 
ActionServlet.  Are there any cleaner solutions?  I can't believe I'm the 
only one to have run across this problem!  I'm not THAT unlucky! :)

Any help is most gratefully appreciated.

Yes... unfortunately you can't jail MS for writing bad software.  IE is a pain in the 
back end.  Having looked at this issue already, it's not fun.  However I do have  
a solution:


around a table you want to scroll will work in IE.  Not sure about real browsers like 
Mozilla or Opera.

I dunno.. maybe I am  my initial problem with your suggestion was writing the web 
apps to a common directory, however, I had a duh moment from reading the code in the 
tomcat 5 classpath problem thread, and can now solve that.

What you're saying is that if I do something like:
/ear/producerWar creates a pdf and puts it in /ear/producerWar/pdfLoc so it can be 
gotten to using the relative url /producerWar/pdfLoc/pdfIWant/pdf.
Then /ear/consumerWar would use a linke like /producerWar/pdfLoc/pdf, just making sure 
that struts doesn't append /consumerWar to the URL?

<%@ page contentType="text/plain" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
<%
String fileName = "foo.properties";
ClassLoader cl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
InputStream in = cl.getResourceAsStream(fileName);
Properties props = new Properties();
props.load(in);
out.print(props);
%>

With "foo.properties" located in WEB-INF/classes, the page outputs:

{A=1, C=3, B=2}

Have you done anything to TC like create a custom Context for the app? Are you
sure target.getConfigurationName() is really returning what you expect (e.g. no
leading spaces, etc.)?

I don't know.  I would tend to think tha if it did, it would be a by-product of 
functionality or possibly a bug.  It wouldn't surprise if it did work though, just not 
sure why or for how long.

I would suggest doing some setup in the action class first, to make the display pieces 
job easier.  (That's my stock answer to complex display issues, since that's a good 
use of actions.)  I would also look at how various javascript tree builders work, and 
use them to do the actual display etc.  Depending on which js you use this could make 
it very easy.  Don't forget that you can use JSP to build the js on the fly if you 
need to.

The url part is easy. it's where the file itself gets stored.
/ear/war1
/ear/war2
/ear/pdfStorage

Wars can't see outside their context, so you can't really do what your saying, without 
putting the pdf's in each location.  Given the number and size of the PDF's, this is 
prohibitive.

Re: Tag question

[Christian D Hahn]

Are you mapping the jsp to /services in the web.xml?  if you do, 
getServletPath should return the path you are looking for.

 
jsp
/usecase/page.jsp
  
  
jsp
/services

Re: AW: AW: OT: Problems with classpath under tomcat 5

Does "filename" evaluate to something like "foo.properties" (no other path info)
and is that file located in WEB-INF/classes?

tomcat 5 logging problem

[Gupta, Sahil]

I cant seem to get logging working on my apache+tomcat5 set up. I have the
log4j.properties file in the tomcat_install/conf directory and the
environment variable 

CATALINA_OPTS set to
-Dlog4j.configuration=file:/c:/webmd/Tomcat4.1/conf/log4j.properties EXPORT
CATALINA_OPTS

I am attaching the log4j.properties file.

In the code, i use commons-logging jar and 

private static final Log log;
static 
{
log = LogFactory.getLog("org.abc.search");
}

to instantiate a Log object.

What could i be doing wrong?

Yes, because it would find them there.

Yes, the console prints out our debug output: 

xyz.properties doesn't exist, skipping update for [EMAIL PROTECTED]

if you read the code, you'll find that it's also trying to locate the '.' directory. 
In all other environments it's webapps/mywebapp/WEB-INF/classes
in tomcat5 it's .../common/classes (which is one of the pathes according to 
tomcat5 class loader faq). (Sorry, I wrote shared/classes in my first mail, it was 
common/classes, but it doesn't really matter, because both aren't the right ones :-)

Re: OT: Problems with classpath under tomcat 5

[Peng Tuck Kwok]

Are you sure if it is not looking your properties file in the
classpath of the webapp ?
When you say everything works fine until tomcat 5 is used , does the
console print out any error ? Also how do you know it is searching in
shared classes ?

testing struts and locale

[Alex]

Greetings,

I've been using strutstest http://strutstestcase.sourceforge.net/ which
works fine.

I can even verify that the proper error messages are
being sent back:

verifyActionErrors(new String[] {"error.no.id.provided"});

Question i have is that, is there a way to simulate a different locale,
and see if it will return back the appropriate message key.  I need to
ensure that code is providing errors in multiple languages, and that they
are all configured properly before it moves on.

thanks.

OT: Problems with classpath under tomcat 5

[Rosenberg, Leon]

Hi, 

 

it's a bit OT but maybe some of you had a similar problem shortly and
can help.

 

We have a configuration component which configures other components of
the application out of property files. The property files lies in the
'classes' directory of the application. Everything works fine until we
use tomcat 5 (5.0.19). 

In tomcat 5 the ClassLoader doesn't search for our property files in
webapps/mywebapp/WEB-INF/classes. Instead it seems to search in
shared/classes which imho should be done after the private webapp
classpath has bin searched through. 

 

As I said before it works fine with standalone applications and with
resin. 

 

Any ideas?

 

Regards

Leon

 

P.S. 

 

The files are there and we have the rights to read them.

 

 

P. P.S. the code:

 

  private void updateConfigurable(IConfigurable target, boolean
dontcheck){

String fileName =
target.getConfigurationName()+".properties";



log.debug("Checking for "+"/"+fileName);

log.debug("Approx. checking in
"+target.getClass().getResource("/."));



URL u = target.getClass().getResource("/"+fileName);

if (u==null){

  log.error(fileName+" doesn't exist, skipping update
for "+target);

  return;

}



if (!dontcheck){

  log.debug("Checking "+target);

  File f = new File(u.getFile());

  long lastModified = f.lastModified();

  long timestamp = getTimestamp(target);

  if (lastModified

Velocity vs tags (was JSF vs Struts)

[David Evans]

Rick, 

Could you elaborate on what you find distastful about Velocity? I've
just started using it as my primary presentation layer tool in struts,
because i found the templating language so clean and clear. The ablitiy
to stick what ever object i'd like in its context, and then refer to it
in a simple intuitive language construct was fresh air for me. Tastes
vary, i know, but maybe you've run across things i haven't yet, that
turned you off.

logic:iterator with a arbitrary depth of nested list

[Adam Lipscombe]

Folks,


Is it possible to use a logic:iterate tag with an arbitrary depth of nested
lists.
i.e. A List containing Lists, each of which contains a List (etc)

The depth of the tree will vary at runtime.

I am trying to model the "levels" of an enterprise from top down and want to
construct a JavaScript tree view of the enterprise.


I can do this straightforwardly in Java/JSP, but recursion is required for
processing the child lists.



TIA - Adam

Validating list of inputs using Struts Validation

[Mazen, Tamer S]

Dears,
I have order items form, which user enter list of the order's items in a
list, I tried to validate user inputs using Struts validator, for server
side it works fine but for unfortunality it does not work in client side
validation. I heard that struts does not support client validation of array
of inputs. Can any one tell if that is right or not and when it will be
supported coz I think it is very important in web application.

Thanks in Advance
