RE: Multiple forms in JSP using struts

2004-11-05 Thread Freddy Villalba A.
I've never liked this since I've always thought that, if one uses this
approach, as soon as one of those forms requires remembering its values,
all (action)forms (including that one) are forced to having session
scope (then you'd have to setup a garbage collection process for those
session forms).

Am I right?

U can use multiple forms in ur jsp and for each action in ur form,i.e. when
u  r posting it, u need to have a separate set of mappings in the

I agree with u that Action Forms should not session scoped unless required
but i guess the question was whether u can use mulitple forms in jsp,i.e.
html:form.
I hope i have guess it right?

Re: Using Tiles outside of an ActionServlet

2004-11-05 Thread William Ferguson
Doh - I guess I wasn't clear enough.

I want to have the Requests for the html pages (Section2) forwarded to a
standardLayout page which uses tiles to provide consistent screens. The
originally targetted html page needs to be included/embedded within the
standardLayout page.

David, I guess I could be missing something (wouldn't be the first time),
but I don't think your solution will give me that will it? Its more about
allowing the html files to themselves contain a tile.

If I could somehow get the html requests to be forwarded to a single page,
then I could do it.
But I can't see how to do this without using a 2nd ActionServlet which
brings me back in the original pain.

 Subject: Using Tiles outside of an ActionServlet


 I'm trying to create a WebApp with 2 sections.

 Section1 consists of Struts Actions managed by an ActionServlet and using
 Tiles for consistent layout. The incoming requests will always be '*.do'.

 Section2 is a bunch of generated html fragments (each is a page's worth)
 that I would like to embed in the Tiles I'm already using in Section1. Ie
 Request for html page comes in and it is forwarded to the Tile page which
 embeds the originally requested page. The incoming requests will always be
 'foo/htmlpagename.html'

 I thought I had it nailed.

 Attempt1: Have the request for Section2 be handled by its own
ActionServlet,
 with a very simple custom RequestProcessor. But Struts only allows a
single
 instance of ActionServlet (or subclass) within a WebApp.

 Atempt2: Use a single ActionServlet and either use a separate Module for
 each section, or use a wildcard ActionMapping to catch all of Section2's
 html requests. But Struts only allows a single servlet-mapping element for
 the controller-servlet and I would need 2 (*.do and foo/*.html). NB
further
 Struts restriction is that when using Modules you can only use extension
 paths in your servlet-mappings.


 Attempt3: ??? I'm looking for ideas.
 At the moment the only solution I can see is to implement my own Servlet
 (not an ActionServlet subclass) which then uses the Tiles config and
 mechanism to render the Section2 response with the required layout.

 Is there a better way?

Multiple input forms - one action - one validator, how?

Hello,

I have multiple forms that point to the same action. It is not a
multipage form, it is done as different types of searches done on
different pages) and I would like to validate the forms individually
using the validate() method on the form bean. However, I am required to
define an input= parameter for the action for the validation, and since
the input pages can be different.

I can solve this problem by having a different action name for each
search page and make them point to the same action class, but is there a
nicer solution for this?

Re: Multiple input forms - one action - one validator, how?

2004-11-05 Thread William Ferguson
If you want different types of validation to be performed before the Action
is executed, then assuming you are using the Struts Validator I recommend
that you :
1) ensure your Forms extend from ValidatorActionForm,
2) Create separate ActionMappings for each type of validation you want to
perform (each ActionMapping uses the same Action class).
3) Create the various validation specifications in validation.xml, each
keyed to the new ActionMappings.

Re: [****] Including a Struts action in a JSP - IllegalStateException / truncated response issue

2004-11-05 Thread Jeff Beal
I think that it is unusual to directly include Struts actions in JSP 
files.  When composing pages of different parts, Tiles is the much more 
common approach.  The standard usage of Tiles is to include JSP files 
directly, but you can use tiles to include Struts actions in JSP files. 
 (See Section 5.2 of the Tiles Advanced Features guide, a PDF file, at 
http://www.lifl.fr/~dumoulin/tiles/tilesAdvancedFeatures.pdf.)

[OT] Re: Need an alternative to bean:define

2004-11-05 Thread Erik Weber
Many times newer developers don't care so much about the academics of 
what is proper. For example, they see the Struts tags and like them, 
and then become attached to them. It can be disconcerting to them to 
find out that they are using an outdated technology so soon after they 
have discovered something that made development more efficient and more 
fun than it had been before. The Java community at large should remain 
aware of this phenomenon. I say, if a tool is proven to work well for a 
particular job, it belongs in the box. In the context of programming, 
this presupposes some level of support and acceptance for the tool in 
the community.

I have been doing Swing/AWT development for about three years now. Over 
and over again I have implemented the same types of interface devices, 
scouring the Swing source code, examining stack traces and ever 
perfecting my use of Threads. I am just now beginning to get good at it. 
Every time a new Swing release comes out, I can't wait to find out what 
bugs have been fixed, what new devices are available for Linux that have 
been taken for granted on Windows, and the like. At the same time I see 
libraries emerge that promoters claim are the result of Swing's 
shortcomings, and I mostly find it ridiculous, given the context (time) 
and my own experience (Swing and Graphics 2D can do all sorts of amazing 
things). I hope Sun isn't affected much by it and continues on building 
and documenting Swing. Everyone is in too much of a hurry to go on to 
the next tool. Programmers who end up building things of substance reach 
for their trusted tools, devices, paradigms, etc., when they are 
inspired and want to get something done with confidence. Some of the 
best Java GUI applications I have seen will run on a (pre-Swing) 1.1 
JVM, and here there are people saying Swing is a wash.

Based on what I have read as a subscriber to this list, I conclude that 
many Struts users feel the same way about Struts as I do about Swing. 
They (myself included) greatly appreciate James' taglib tests, the 
ongoing efforts to build a better dispatch action and the work of all 
other contributors (not only committers). They breathe a collective sigh 
of relief when they see that Craig is writing papers about Struts 2.

Erik
P.S. This is no attack on Eddie's advice to prefer JSTL to the Struts 
tags. I often give the same advice.

Re: Struts Best Practices

2004-11-05 Thread Adam Hardy
hi rajagopal,
dynaforms are useful for putting something together quickly, but I find 
them less useful than hardcoded form classes sometimes, especially if 
there are many form fields.

The way to access some data from the form submit in your action is 
usually so for a dynaform:

addressDTO.setLine3((String) accommForm.get(line3));
and for a hard-coded formbean:
addressDTO.setLine3(accommForm.getLine3());
If find that the hard-coded formbean is easier to code with in IDEs like 
Eclipse, due to better auto-completion, less room for typo mistakes etc.

Re: How use the BeanUtils and interface converts

2004-11-05 Thread Joe Germuska
Writing a date converter is pretty simple; the 
only reason there isn't one included in the 
beanutils distribution is that there's not a very 
easy way to configure the date format in a 
universal way.

Below is an example.  This one is implemented as 
a static inner class within the only class which 
uses it, but you could do it differently:

static class SimpleDateFormatDateConverter 
implements org.apache.commons.beanutils.Converter
{

String dateFormat = null;
SimpleDateFormatDateConverter(String dateFormat)
{
this.dateFormat = dateFormat;
}
public Object convert(Class clazz, Object obj)
{
if (obj == null) return null;
if (obj instanceof java.util.Date) return obj;
String toParse = obj.toString();
if (toParse.trim().length() == 0) return null;
java.text.SimpleDateFormat fmt = new 
java.text.SimpleDateFormat(dateFormat);
try
{
return fmt.parse(obj.toString());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConversionException(ex);
}

}
}
Then, elsewhere in your Java code, you would 
register the converter doing something like this:
String dateFormat = -MM-dd;
ConvertUtils.register(new 
SimpleDateFormatDateConverter(dateFormat), 
java.util.Date.class);

Since this code was written, beanutils has made 
good progress away from using static methods for 
everything, which makes it easier to have 
Converters in different parts of your app that 
behave differently.  See

Re: Connection Pooling With Struts

2004-11-05 Thread Peng Tuck
Tomcat can provide a connection pool, you just have to configure the 
pool and look up the resource in your application. The details can be 
found here :

Re: [****] Including a Struts action in a JSP - IllegalStateException / truncated response issue

2004-11-05 Thread Parke Jeff

Thanks for the information, Jeff.

Unfortunately, though the Tiles Advanced Features Guide indicates it is
possible to include multiple Struts actions (using tiles:insert) on
one page, I _still_ get the IllegalStateException Response has already
been committed.

We often need to prepare data to be shown by a JSP page. In the MVC
framework, the controller prepares data (in the model) to be shown by
the view. Translated to Tiles and Struts, we can use a Struts Action as
a controller, a JSP page as a view, and combine both in a Tile. So, when
you insert the Tile, the Action is called before the JSP page is
displayed. Now, your complex web page can be made of Tiles fed by
controllers (one sub-controller for each Tile). This approach is better
than one single controller for all Tiles of the page, because it really
allows building autonomous Tiles, without worrying about how to fed
(sic) them all. - Tiles Advanced Features Guide
(http://www.lifl.fr/~dumoulin/tiles/tilesAdvancedFeatures.pdf)

This is describing exactly what I want to accomplish and the reason for
it but I keep running into the same committed response problem.  Is it
possible that this is a container issue rather than being a Struts
issue?  Can someone else confirm that c:import and tiles:insert both
cause an IllegalStateException when including more than 1 (actually try
3 or 4) Struts action on the same JSP?

Thanks again for anyone who can help,
Jeff





I think that it is unusual to directly include Struts actions in JSP
files. When composing pages of different parts, Tiles is the much more
common approach. The standard usage of Tiles is to include JSP files
directly, but you can use tiles to include Struts actions in JSP files.
(See Section 5.2 of the Tiles Advanced Features guide, a PDF file, at

How to use getServletConfig( ) outside a Servlet.

Hi.

I want to make a static class which access a configuration file in /WEB-INF/.
I tried Classname.class.getResourceAsStream(/WEB-INF/config-file.xml); but it wont 
work.
So I thought I have to do it by using getServletConfig().getServletContext( 
).getResourceAsStream(/WEB-INF/config-file.xml)
but I did not figure out how to do that because getServletCofig only works in 
Servlets, not in static beans.

Can you help me?

Struts html:checkbox

2004-11-05 Thread Jean-Philippe Couture
Hi,

Sorry if this problem has already been solved, I cannot seem to find
anything in the Struts List Archive...

I have an Action class that sets, in the ActionForward method of the
said Action class, an attribute of an object in the request scope to
push it to the presentation layer (JSP). In the JSP form, I use
exclusively Custom Struts Tag to display data from the object in the
request scope.

Everything works greatly except for that
html:checkbox property=propName
value=${boolValue}/html:checkbox which doesn't seem to render the
checked=checked attribute. The value of the value attribute is
set to true... but for some reason, I can't seem to get it render
checked on load.

Is there a way to get a html:checkbox render as checked upon JSP load?

Re: Multiple input forms - one action - one validator, how?

2004-11-05 Thread Axel Groß
Hi Can!

actually, i can't think of any other 'standard' solution
(using the actionValidator you still would need the single input attribute)

Maybe you could use a combined change of ActionMapping and
ValidatorActionForm.

Subclass those and set them in your config files.
Change the ActionMapping so that getInputForward returns the forward you
want. In validation of the form set this to what you want it to be.

Let me know if it works ;)

Set the corresponding form property to true prior to loading the page.
If the actual form property value equals the ${boolValue}, then the 
checkbox should render as checked. That is, it should produce the 
appropriate HTML which should render the checkbox as checked.

 Is there anyother way without using indexed, but send index of the

Subject: [] Including a Struts action in a JSP -
IllegalStateException / truncated response issue

Hello,

I've seen a few posts on this subject, through this and other resources,
but I haven't seen any appealing workarounds.  I'd like to try to bring
all the relevant information from these posts together and then ask for
help in identifying a viable workaround.  I apologize in advance if this
issue is well known and understood and I just missed the best resources
on the subject.

Goals:
1)   To build a Struts application where _every_ request to the
application goes through a Struts action that collects and packages data
then forwards (using Struts ActionForward's) to a JSP.
2)   To be able to include one or more Struts actions in any given
JSP (ie: c:import url=/someAction.do /).

Behavior when implementing these goals:
1)   Usually, when executing a single include of a Struts action on
a JSP, everything works fine though sometimes there are problems (as
listed below).
2)   When including more than one Struts action on a JSP I get an
IllegalStateException - Response has already been committed.
3)   Sometimes, when a JSP only includes one Struts action, the
first x bytes of the response will be missing when it is returned
(without exception) to the client.

Relevant issues (correct me where I'm wrong):
1)   Including (jsp:include, c:import, etc.) a JSP/Servlet on a
JSP sometimes (always?) causes the response to be committed because
includes use RequestDispatcher.include() which in turn commits the
response.
2)   Forwarding a request using an ActionForward from a Struts
action to a JSP can not be done when a response has been committed.
3)   Increasing the response buffer size has no effect on these
issues.
4)   Using the include directive (%@ include file=filename %)
won't work because that includes source a translation time.
5)   It has been reported that using tiles:insert does not
(fully/always?) resolve the problematic behavior.
6)   Using absolute URLs with c:import prevents the response from
being committed because the context of the request is assumed to be
independent.  The visibility of an authenticated, populated session can
be affected by passing the jsessionid in on the URL.  This seems to be
the only viable workaround though I haven't tested it thoroughly yet.

Hi All,

I have an application which contains 100+ jsp's.  Use case is to
inject the Javascript conditionally into the JSP's.  Condition is - If
a cookie is present in the request, inject the Javascript else leave
it alone.

I started with a simple struts example project for the proof of
concept.  I thought of a Servlet Filter and I created a filter as
below

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.servlet.Filter;
import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
import javax.servlet.FilterConfig;
import javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.Cookie;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

public class SecurePageFilter implements Filter {
   private static final String SECURITY_COOKIE = ObSSOCookie;
   private static final String SECURITY_JS = /check.js;

   public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {
   }

   public void destroy() {
   }

   public void doFilter(
   ServletRequest oRequest,
   ServletResponse oResponse,
   FilterChain oFilterChain)
   throws IOException, ServletException {

   oFilterChain.doFilter(oRequest, oResponse);

   HttpServletRequest woRequest = (HttpServletRequest) oRequest;
   Cookie[] aoCookies = woRequest.getCookies();
   String strUrl = woRequest.getRequestURI();

   if (strUrl != null
strUrl.endsWith(deleteCookie.jsp)
   || aoCookies == null)
   return;

   for (int i = 0; i  aoCookies.length; i++) {
   Cookie oCookie = aoCookies[i];

   if (oCookie.getName().equals(SECURITY_COOKIE)) {
   String strValue = oCookie.getValue();
   if (strValue != null  strValue.length()  0) {
   RequestDispatcher rd =
woRequest.getRequestDispatcher(SECURITY_JS);
   rd.include(oRequest, oResponse);
   oResponse.flushBuffer();
   return;
   }
   }
   }
   return;
   } // doFilter

} // SecurePageFilter

My filter is mapped to (*.jsp and *.do) in the web.xml.

Jeff,

Try this previous post on IllegalStateException response has already been
committed:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=struts-userm=108152145227595w=2

The author suggested 2 courses of action:

1. Try increasing the buffer size on myjsp.jsp. Default is 8kb
2. Make sure that you are not changing the header portion of the
response in your included JSP page.

I remember a post with the same exception and the issue was a buffer issue.

David

Subject: Re: [] Including a Struts action in a JSP -
IllegalStateException / truncated response issue



Thanks for the information, Jeff.

Unfortunately, though the Tiles Advanced Features Guide indicates it is
possible to include multiple Struts actions (using tiles:insert) on
one page, I _still_ get the IllegalStateException Response has already
been committed.

We often need to prepare data to be shown by a JSP page. In the MVC
framework, the controller prepares data (in the model) to be shown by
the view. Translated to Tiles and Struts, we can use a Struts Action as
a controller, a JSP page as a view, and combine both in a Tile. So, when
you insert the Tile, the Action is called before the JSP page is
displayed. Now, your complex web page can be made of Tiles fed by
controllers (one sub-controller for each Tile). This approach is better
than one single controller for all Tiles of the page, because it really
allows building autonomous Tiles, without worrying about how to fed
(sic) them all. - Tiles Advanced Features Guide
(http://www.lifl.fr/~dumoulin/tiles/tilesAdvancedFeatures.pdf)

This is describing exactly what I want to accomplish and the reason for
it but I keep running into the same committed response problem.  Is it
possible that this is a container issue rather than being a Struts
issue?  Can someone else confirm that c:import and tiles:insert both
cause an IllegalStateException when including more than 1 (actually try
3 or 4) Struts action on the same JSP?

Thanks again for anyone who can help,
Jeff





I think that it is unusual to directly include Struts actions in JSP
files. When composing pages of different parts, Tiles is the much more
common approach. The standard usage of Tiles is to include JSP files
directly, but you can use tiles to include Struts actions in JSP files.
(See Section 5.2 of the Tiles Advanced Features guide, a PDF file, at
http://www.lifl.fr/~dumoulin/tiles/tilesAdvancedFeatures.pdf.)

I'm still having trouble including a Struts action into a JSP (c:import

I've tried using absolute URLs, passing the jsessionid to ensure that
the session is not lost, but the request context is different between
the JSP and the included action, so this not suitable for many
situations.  I've also tried upgrading to Struts 1.2.4.  This does not
resolve the Response has already been committed issue when including
more than one Struts action in a JSP.

The app server is using JRE 1.4.1_03-b02.
Can anyone tell me whether they have seen this situation before?  How
common is it?  Is it unusual to include Struts actions in JSPs?  Anyone?

Hi,
 
I am able to display the text field for phoneNumber now. The code i wrote is

 tr
 td valign=middle
 bean:write name=menuEntries property=key/
 html:hidden name=menuEntries property=key/
/td

html:option value=Select A Action/html:option
 html:options name=actionNames labelName=actionNames/
  /html:select
 /td
 td
 div id=%=idx% style={display:inline}
  html:text property=phoneNumber size=15 maxlength=15/
  /div
 /td
!-- /tr --
 /logic:iterate
 
 
function showOrHidePhoneNumber(actionselected,index) {
  alert(index);
  alert(actionselected);
  if(actionselected==Transfer with prompt) {
document.getElementById(index).style.display = inline;
   } else {
document.getElementById(index).style.display = none;
 }
  }
 
 
I have to call showOrHidePhoneNumber(actionselected,index) when the page loads.
And it should not display the textfield for phoneNumber  for all 11rows as the default 
option is not Transfer with prompt. Help me figure out this function.
 
Thanks,
Latha

I tried to understand what was on the site, it might take some time.

If possible can you let me know how to implement it in my case.

I have MenuEntry[] menuentries. in my form. MenuEntries has properties key, 
description and menuaction.

So, what should i change this to.

Thanks.

 labelName=actionNames/

 I have a menuentry[] menuEntries property in formbean.
 so i need to index for description and key also.
 There is indexed attribute for html:text but not for bean:write
 So i used html:hidden indexed=true

 I have get and set methods in menuEntry class for key, description and
menuaction.
 MenuEntry[] menuEntries = form.getMenuEntries(); in action class.

 tried retrieving the menuEntries[] in the action class.
 I get java.lang.NullPointerException
 at
org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.getIndexedProperty(PropertyUtils.
java:515)



 so if I use indexed, should there be 11 different get and set methods
because name of the property changes name=menuEntries[5].menuAction.

 Is there anyother way without using indexed, but send index of the
property to the onchange method.

 Thanks,
 Latha.

Re: Authentication and Authorization

2004-11-05 Thread Eddie Bush
There used to be (haven't checked on it for a while) a project called 
Security Filter that was a security database implementation you could 
package with your application.  I believe it was a SourceForge project.

One of the projects I'm currently architecting has need for specialized 
security - above and beyond what our CMS will do (CMS will handle it to the 
application on a per-user bases).  I'm implementing this through use of a 
Filter and a HTTPRequestWrapper.  Oh, and I've tossed in a custom 
implementation of Principal to make things nice and tidy.  Once complete 
I'll be able to leverage standard calls like isUserInRole and 
getUserPrincipal to deal with my users.  The nice thing is, because of the 
nature of filters, once I'm done with this I can jar it up, drop it in any 
application I write (and add to the web.xml of that app) and use the exact 
same thing for many other applications (I have at least 2 to get out this 
quarter ... they seem to be finding new ones for me to write all the time)!

Gotta love real reuse in actual practice! ;-)
Filters fit a lot of problems really nicely - even if you don't build a 
request/response wrapper to go along with them.  They're extremely handy for 
the problems that they do solve.

Good Luck,
Eddie
