I've had the same requirement a couple of times.  The way I've settled on
doing it, whether it's the best or not I don't know, is this...

I used client-side scripting to prompt the user whether they want to save
or not (just some simple dirty data checking, i.e., any time they press a
key I set a JavaScript variable to true, which indicates data has
changed).  Whether they choose yes or no determines what the target of my
form submission is... It would either be something like ThisFormSave.app
or ThisFormNoSave.app (changed dynamically via scripting).

In struts-config, I map both of them to the same Action.  Then in the
Action I do:

String path = mapping.getPath();

...then you see whether path is /ThisFormSave or /ThisFormNoSave. 
Obviously save if appropriate.  I also set a hidden form field that
specifies where they are going next, which is what forward to use.  That's
it.

On a couple of pages there are a small, finite number of links, in which
case I actually had an Action mapping for each one with a Save and NoSave
version, all mapped to the same Action, and I check for the NoSave
substring.  If not present, I do the save.  The first approach I think
works out better though... A little more client-side scripting, but a less
verbose struts-config.xml.  Matter of taste either way.

 I've got a requirement where if the user tries to leave a form without
 saving changed data they have the option to save on the fly before
 going
 to the link they clicked or go to the link without saving the data.  On
 the
 save option I pass the destination (the name of a forward in the
 SaveAction action tag of strut-config) to the SaveAction which does the
 lookup then forwards to their destination.  My problem is how to handle
 the
 option of not saving.  My thought now is to have a RouterAction class
 that
 takes a request parm and uses it to look up a forward in it's action
 mapping.  Is this an good way to handle this or are there better ways?

Re:[solved] Need Best Practices Thoughts on Actions






Thanks to Jim  Frank for your help.

While you guys were responding I ended up using a variation.  If they click
save I go ahead and submit the form w/ a hidden field for destination.  If
they don't want to save I go to a RouterAction with the destination as a
request parm.  The RouterAction then gets the forward mapping passed on the
the request parm.

Re: Transfer Data Objects between Actions and Views

2004-09-22 Thread HG

Hi..

Hmmm.. I do not see why (in the code you came across) one should both
populate a form with the properties of the DTO + set the DTO as an attribute
on the request object?

It should be enough to populate the form with properties from the DTO.

I have seen other solutions where Views (JSPs) always contains a Form tag
(eg. form bean). When you populate the form bean from the action you do
something like this.

pseudo code, action:

// Form bean representing the view
myFormBean.setVO(myVO);

pseudo code, form

private MyVOClass myVO;

private void populate()
{
  // Call methods to populate form
}

// Setter that get called from action
void setVO(MyVOClass myVO)
{
   this.myVO = myVO;
   populate();
}

The VO could also contain selections for listboxes, comboboxes, etc. So that
the VO is View (form) specific, and the DTO (the object/data you really want
to store) can be extracted from the VO.

You can say that with this approach you have two objects

DTO:
The object that travels across tiers and is persisted, maybe as entity
beans or whatever.

VO:
The view specific object that holds the DTO and what else is needed for
generating the view.

So the DTO is a subset of the VO.

I think is is a nice way to do things, but it introduces yet another object
representing the same data.
On the other hand it clean separates what data is needed for the generating
the view (VO) and what data is needed to be persisted or transferred to
antoher tier (DTO).

My few cents

Regards

Henrik

Simon - I'm not involved with the development at all, but it appears 
that Wal-Mart's online store uses Struts for its checkout screens (the 
cart itself is not Struts though it seems.) Maybe you can update your 
site with it.

Also, this is OT, but anybody have a guess as to what their cart *is*

Re: Forward to a file on hard drive

If you need to forward to a resource outside the current web context,
you can try using a redirect.

forward name=lapTop path=http://gmail.google.com; redirect=true/

Now, whether it'll work when you point it to a local resource...  I
think what you'll get is the user's browser will try to look for that
file on the user's machine.

Could be that they just made up GSP to prevent you from knowing and actually forward

Well, content-type should be a non-factor. If the value of escapeXml is true,
then the following conversions take place regardless:

 - amp;
 - lt;
 - gt;
 - #034;
' - #039;

What does the actual HTML source look like?

Re: Forward to a file on hard drive

Are you actually trying to FORWARD to the file or is your intention to
initiate download of the file?

If the later, you'll need to do the usual download code, and just point it
at the file.

Your specifying an HTML file though, so I assume you want the user to see
that page... So, the question is, is it a one-time page display or are you
trying to redirect them to another webapp?

If you just need to display it, you could always open a stream on the file
and render it to response manually.  Seems like a lot of work though...

Can you be more specific about what your really trying to do?

Re: Forward to a file on hard drive

What is it you're trying to do?  Are you trying to give the client
access to a document store on the server?  If so, you should place the
document in a location accessible to the web application, and provide
that url as the forward path.  How you do this and what its eventual
URL is would depend on your server, of course.

  If you need to forward to a resource outside the current web context,
  you can try using a redirect.
 
  forward name=lapTop path=http://gmail.google.com; redirect=true/
 
  Now, whether it'll work when you point it to a local resource...  I

Re: how to access JSF Managed Bean in Struts Action class

Managed beans are no different than any other beans with respect to scopes:
* Managed beans in request scope will be created on demand once for
every request
* Managed beans in session scope will be created on demand once for
every session
* Managed beans in application scope will be created on demand once for the
  lifetime of the application.

If you are caching things that are shared between users, put them in
application scope instead.  If the cached data is unique per user,
then you're going to need to leave it in session scope.

 Just 2 quick questions from expert advise. Assuming FooBean is
 initialized by Faces in the session:
 
 
 
 
 
  1) Under what cirscunstances we shoud use Faces or directly
 accessing the component under user session, assuming that you also use
 faces with other framework such as Tiles?
 
 
 
 I'm not quite sure what you are referring to, but it's quite
 straightforward to reference properties from a session-scoped bean.
 For example, assume user is a UserProfileBean and has a name
 property.  You can use expressions like this:
 
 Hello h:outputText value=#{user.name}/
 
 Note that it doesn't matter whether the bean was created by the
 managed beans facility or via programmatic logic (say, being placed
 there by an Action), so it is very straightforward to interoperate.
 
 
 
 2) If FooBean is a default user profile bean, does faces have some
 kind of caching so it can just replicate the default configuration of
 the user profile for every created user session? If the caching is not a
 part of spec then which implementation (RI or myfaces) has it?
 
 
 
 You can specify initial values for the properties of a managed bean by
 using managed-property elements nested inside:
 
   managed-bean
 managed-bean-nameuser/managedp-bean-name
 managed-bean-classcom.mycompany.UserProfileBean/managed-bean-class
 managed-bean-scopesession/managed-bean-scope
 managed-property
   property-nameuserType/property-name
   property-classjava.lang.String/property-class
   valueStandard/value
 /managed-property
   /managed-bean
 
 The content of the value element can be either a literal value or a
 value binding expression, so you can have your initialization grab
 dynamically calculated values if you need them.
 
 Craig
 
 
 
 Thank Craig. I am fully aware of these features, but found the loading
 is slow. I have not investigated whether faces implementations have some
 caching mechanism so it does not need to create the session managed
 beans from the scratch for every new user.
 
 My question is whether the RI and/or my faces have some caching
 mechanism to speed up the process. If it does not then it is worth while
 to programmatically create these beans from our own cache
 implementation. Once the beans with identical attribute names are
 available in the session then faces does not have to create them. I am
 trying to decide which approach we should take.
 
 Your further insight information may save us some time.
 
 Thank again

Re: converters

Struts does use BeanUtils, but it doesn't have any concept of
converters like JSF.  This is why Struts wants you to use string
properties in form beans, and it's also why JSF doesn't need the form
bean concept.

Re: Forward to a file on hard drive

Interesting...

It sounds, based on your description of what your doing, that you really
aren't forwading to the page, you just need to return it out of your
Action.  If that's the case, my suggestion of getting a stream on it
(treat it like an ordinary file, attach no special meaning to the fact
that it's an HTML document) and render it to the response manually.  I
THINK that will get you what you need...

I agree, if that is indeed the case, the redirect should in all

otherwise anyway.

Re: Forward to a file on hard drive

By the way, bmf5, if it IS on the user's hard drive, you don't need to
hardcode the path to the file like in my example.  You can create an
ActionForward in your action to specify the path at runtime, and have
the action return that instead.

Re: how to access JSF Managed Bean in Struts Action class

If you are caching things that are shared between users, put them in
application scope instead.  If the cached data is unique per user,
then you're going to need to leave it in session scope.

Just 2 quick questions from expert advise. Assuming FooBean is
initialized by Faces in the session:
   

 

   1) Under what cirscunstances we shoud use Faces or directly
accessing the component under user session, assuming that you also use
faces with other framework such as Tiles?
   

I'm not quite sure what you are referring to, but it's quite
straightforward to reference properties from a session-scoped bean.
For example, assume user is a UserProfileBean and has a name
property.  You can use expressions like this:
  Hello h:outputText value=#{user.name}/
Note that it doesn't matter whether the bean was created by the
managed beans facility or via programmatic logic (say, being placed
there by an Action), so it is very straightforward to interoperate.

 

  2) If FooBean is a default user profile bean, does faces have some
kind of caching so it can just replicate the default configuration of
the user profile for every created user session? If the caching is not a
part of spec then which implementation (RI or myfaces) has it?
   

You can specify initial values for the properties of a managed bean by
using managed-property elements nested inside:
managed-bean
  managed-bean-nameuser/managedp-bean-name
  managed-bean-classcom.mycompany.UserProfileBean/managed-bean-class
  managed-bean-scopesession/managed-bean-scope
  managed-property
property-nameuserType/property-name
property-classjava.lang.String/property-class
valueStandard/value
  /managed-property
/managed-bean
The content of the value element can be either a literal value or a
value binding expression, so you can have your initialization grab
dynamically calculated values if you need them.
Craig

 

Thank Craig. I am fully aware of these features, but found the loading
is slow. I have not investigated whether faces implementations have some
caching mechanism so it does not need to create the session managed
beans from the scratch for every new user.
My question is whether the RI and/or my faces have some caching
mechanism to speed up the process. If it does not then it is worth while
to programmatically create these beans from our own cache
implementation. Once the beans with identical attribute names are
available in the session then faces does not have to create them. I am
trying to decide which approach we should take.
Your further insight information may save us some time.
Thank again

Re: Forward to a file on hard drive

I may be missing something here, but if the file is on the local client it
would seem that the only way to display the local page is to return a page
with a link to the local file:

a href=file://c://client_local_file.htmlclient/a

Which of course the user would have click through for the actual display.

RE: Forward to a file on hard drive

2004-09-22 Thread Arumbakkam, Praveen \(Contractor\)

Bmf5:

Here is what I did to forward to a local file using the logic:redirect
tag.

1. Declare a global forward in your struts-config.xml - 

global-forwards
forward name=handHeld
path=file:///C:/AIM/AuditorWorkQueueHandheld.html redirect=true /
/global-forwards

2. In a test JSP, I added:
logic:redirect forward=test /



The redirect worked. Of course, this was just a test which I did with a
logic tag.

 If you need to forward to a resource outside the current

 you can try using a redirect.

 forward name=lapTop path=http://gmail.google.com;

 Now, whether it'll work when you point it to a local

It appears as though the problem is with your use of a form-property 
called page - based on what I am seeing around line 141 of the 
DynaValidatorForm code, if you have a property named page, it MUST be an 
integer, otherwise classcastexception is thrown.

I'm guessing this is to accomodate paged forms (aka wizards)
Try changing the property to have another name, and I think it will fix 
your problem.

Dynamically Creating Dynaforms

2004-09-22 Thread David Erickson

Hi everyone here are my goals:

Be able to dynamically create fields in a form (they will be known at
runtime, but only then)
Be able to pre-populate these fields, then harvest them from the user

I know I can do this by using session scoped beans with a map-backed form
and in the name of my fields doing something like
value(myFieldNameInTheMap).  I would like to if possible avoid that.  I know
with dynaforms specified in xml I can declare fields like myField of type
string then within the jsp all i need is name=myField as opposed to
name=value(myField).  Is there anyway in my prepopulating action to create
a dynaform programatically with all the fields I need so i can just use
their names from within the jsp?

Thanks!
-David

(Ps i know its possible to do that with DynaBeans from commons.. but i'm
wondering if I'm going to have to subclass dynaform or something to
implement this)

I apologize for this simple, stupid question.
 I created a form on a JSP page.  I put in the form the;
html:submit value=Save
So, how do I get the name/value of this from my FormBean?
Would this work?
html:submit property=xxx value=Save
html:reset property=xxx value=Cancel
And then in the form-bean, do this:
public String getXXX()
{   return this.xxx;}
Right, now I actually have:
html:hidden property=action value=Save
html:submit value=Save
html:reset value=Cancel
And in the form-bean:
public String getAction()
{   return this.action; }
Thanks for any help!

 Here is what I did to forward to a local file using the logic:redirect
 tag.

 1. Declare a global forward in your struts-config.xml -

 global-forwards
forward name=handHeld
 path=file:///C:/AIM/AuditorWorkQueueHandheld.html redirect=true /
 /global-forwards

 2. In a test JSP, I added:
 logic:redirect forward=test /



 The redirect worked. Of course, this was just a test which I did with a

Make sure that your form-bean definition xml has a form-property called

Struts Tiles with Frames

2004-09-22 Thread Ratnakar Parakala

Hi,
 
I'm using tiles. I have a situation where I have a JSP Tiled with header, Navigation 
Bar, body and footer. In the body tile, I need two frames left and right. In the left 
frame I'll show a Tree and clicking on TreeNode in the left frame, I wish to display 
the Node details in the right frame. The right frame contains some buttons and 
clicking on those buttons should submit the entire page.
 
I'm finding it difficult to use Frameset and html:frame along with Tiles. Has anybody 
done similar implementation? Any examples on the web?

Re: How To Validate a File Name With Required Restrictions

Caroline Jen wrote:
If we require a file name submitted by users must be
less than 40 characters, not have space and have a

To set 40 characters limit, we can do:
field

  arg1 name=maxlength key=${var:maxlength}
resource=false/
 var
var-namemaxlength/var-name

I think the 3 characters extension may be something
similar to ^\d{3}\d*$ (I can be wrong).  And how do we
set the 'no space' constraint?
I think you need to read up on regular expressions a bit before asking 
here. Try out:

http://www.regular-expressions.info/reference.html
The answer to your question depends on what characters you want to allow 
to be typed in as well.

Off the top of my head, something like this (totally untested):
^\S+\.\S{3}$
would work, but it allows ANY non-whitespace character to be typed in - 
this would include slashes, number signs, and other wacky characters 
that aren't good for filenames. This regexp roughly translates into:

any non-whitespace character 1 or more times, then a period, than any 
non-whitespace character exactly 3 times

The regexp you suggested translates into this:
digit character 3 times, then digit character 0 or more times
Like I said, you need to read up a little bit more, as this is not 
really a regexp help center :)

RE: Forward to a file on hard drive

Agh, beat me to the punch :)  That's what I tried after the forward from
the Action didn't work for me either.

I understand (I think) why it didn't work as expected... RequestProcessor
was trying to find the file specified in the forward on the app server,
not the client-side... I (and I think Bart as well) were subconsciously
making an assumption that Struts would return essentially an empty page
with a redirect header in it to the client, but that's not what happens. 
Praveen's solution shows that to get that functionality you have to do it
yourself.

Good thread in any case, one of those things that is likely to help
someone down the road when they find it in the archives :)

Re: What Are the Causes For Validation to Throw ClassCastException?

2004-09-22 Thread Caroline Jen

I have changed the property from 'page' to 'pg'.  The
ClassCastException problem is gone.  However, the
validation.xml that I put in the AppName/WEB-INF is
not doing anything.

In my action mapping (struts-config.xml), I did set 

validate=true

and in my validation.xml, I have required set for
the depends attribute for every single text field.

depends=required

I intentionally left every field in those forms blank
and submit forms.  But, the Struts did not give me any
warning about that I leave text fields blank.

Do you also have /AppName/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml?
Without that the validation won't work. Also make sure that you have the

Assuming those things are correct, take a look through your tomcat logs, 
I bet you are actually getting an error of some sort.

It appears as though the problem is with your use of
a form-property 
called page - based on what I am seeing around
line 141 of the 
DynaValidatorForm code, if you have a property named
page, it MUST be an 
integer, otherwise classcastexception is thrown.

I'm guessing this is to accomodate paged forms
(aka wizards)
Try changing the property to have another name, and
I think it will fix 
your problem.

RE: What Are the Causes For Validation to Throw ClassCastException?

2004-09-22 Thread David G. Friedman

Jen,

DynaValidatorForm ALREADY has a page field so leave it out:

http://struts.apache.org/api/org/apache/struts/validator/DynaValidatorForm.h
tml

As for your validation not working with pg that's because the validator
uses the field name page to figure out which validations to test in
multi-page validations.

Additionally, WHY are you requiring a page field in your formset?  It should
be a hidden variable out of the view of the user so there is no need to
validate it.  Without it, the plugIn should assume page=0 and do the most
basic of validations in your formset.

Regards,
David

I have changed the property from 'page' to 'pg'.  The
ClassCastException problem is gone.  However, the
validation.xml that I put in the AppName/WEB-INF is
not doing anything.

In my action mapping (struts-config.xml), I did set

validate=true

and in my validation.xml, I have required set for
the depends attribute for every single text field.

depends=required

I intentionally left every field in those forms blank
and submit forms.  But, the Struts did not give me any
warning about that I leave text fields blank.

You don't need to use Struts-EL with Tomcat 5, if you're using JSP 2.0.

Re: Doubt on Struts+JSF Integration

I don't think there is only one preferred scenario, because the
starting points will vary widely.  Option (a) is certainly going to be
popular if you have an existing application that you are migrating,
because you can do it one page at a time.  Option (b) is really useful
if you like the setter injection variation of IoC containers,
because that's exactly what you get from the managed beans
configuration capability.  But both of these needs are quite
legitimate, and can be used either together or separately in a single
application.

JSF is designed to satisfy requirements in the view tier, and be able
to plug in to larger application scale frameworks that provide
controller and/or model capabilities.  For simple applications, it is
likely to be sufficient by itself.  However, I think more complicated
applications are going to want more, and I certainly believe that a
future Struts should be a way to satisfy those needs.

 in jsf and struts integration, should we use jsf just for view tier

David,
Someone had better tell my application then, because it is using lots of 
tiles for the input parameter.  ;)

I do recall getting the error described by Caroline some time ago, but 
darned if I can remember how I resolved it.  (Too much water under the 
bridge.  Or, too much beer on the brain?)  It may be that I had to go to 
1.2.x to get it to work.  Just did a search of the Release Notes and it 
wasn't mentioned there, though.

I do know it works because I am using validation and tiles for the input 
parameter.

RE: using JSP2.0 / JSTL1.1 with Struts

2004-09-22 Thread Erez Efrati

Jason, 

Thanks for replying me though it took me sometime to try it out.
What about JSTL 1.1? Do I have to download it by myself and replace the 
Previous 1.0 version? Or is it part of JBoss or Tomcat 5.0?

Thanks again,

Erez

Hi all,
 
Until now I've been using Struts 1.1 with JSP1.2/JSTL 1.0 with the use
of JSTL EL extension for Struts tags.
Html-el etc..
Now I'd like to move on and take advantage of the JSP2.0 and JST1.1 new
features.
I am running with JBoss 3.2.5 + Tomcat 5.0.
 
Any special steps? Do I need to download JSTL 1.1 by myself ?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Erez
  

Don't know about the JBoss side of things.  But I'm using Tomcat 
5.0+JSP2.0/JSTL1.1

I guess this question is going to come again too... :)

I think the main points are:

1. change the web.xml declaration to have

web-app xmlns=http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee;
xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance;
xsi:schemaLocation=http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee 
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd;
version=2.4

So that it uses Servlet 2.4 + JSP2.0

2. Tag-libs: no longer need to be specified in the web.xml, so you can 
remove those entries
You don't use the struts-el tags, as EL is provided by the container.
In the JSP you include the taglibs for example:

/WEB-INF/jsp/include/prelude.jspf:

%@   taglib prefix=c uri=http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core;
%%@ taglib prefix=fmt uri=http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt;
%%@ taglib prefix=fn uri=http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions;
%%@ taglib prefix=html
uri=http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html;
%%@ taglib prefix=logic 
uri=http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-logic;
%%@ taglib prefix=bean
uri=http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-bean;
%%@ taglib prefix=tiles 
uri=http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-tiles;
%%@ taglib prefix=nested 
uri=http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-nested;
%%@ taglib prefix=display uri=http://displaytag.sf.net;
%

I think that is all that is required, there is an optional step 3:
3. Read the JSP2.0 spec for the newweb.xml  jsp-config option for 
controlling JSPs
Which allows things like those tag-libs above to be included on every 
JSP page
eg

jsp-config
jsp-property-group
descriptionJSP Configuration/description
display-nameJSPConfiguration/display-name
url-pattern*.jsp/url-pattern
!-- no scriplets, only taglibs can be used --
scripting-invalidtrue/scripting-invalid
page-encodingUTF-8/page-encoding
 
include-prelude/WEB-INF/jsp/include/prelude.jspf/include-prelude
include-coda/WEB-INF/jsp/include/coda.jspf/include-coda
/jsp-property-group
/jsp-config


Let me know if I missed anything...
