Re: Tiles:insert role(s)?
Below is a reply sent to this mailing list about the Tiles controller
class.
The problem was trying to populate a dynamic Tiles attribute (exactly the
same as what you want) in a cleaner way.
If you still have problems post them in this thread and I will try to
answer.
Hope it helps,

Hi Robert..
I guess you could achieve the same using the controllerClass attribute and
building your class.. For instance, I have this definition in the
tiles-defs.xml file:
---
definition name=.layout
path=/common/layout.jsp
controllerClass='com.dars.XTileAction'
put name=title value=Encabezado primario/
put name=leftsidevalue=/common/leftside.jsp/
put name=rightside value=/common/rightside.jsp/
put name=header value=/common/header.jsp/
put name=footer value=/common/footer.jsp/
put name=bodyvalue=/common/body.jsp/
/definition
---
And I have this controllerClass
---
package com.dars;
import org.apache.struts.tiles.actions.TilesAction;
import org.apache.struts.tiles.ComponentContext;
import org.apache.struts.tiles.Controller;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import java.io.IOException;
public class XTileAction extends TilesAction implements Controller{
public void perform(ComponentContext tilesctx,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response,
ServletContext servctx)
throws ServletException, IOException{
/* GetAttributes */
String titulo= (String)tilesctx.getAttribute(title);
String derecha= (String)tilesctx.getAttribute(rightside);
/* GetAttributes */
System.out.println( Titulo: +titulo);
System.out.println( Derecha: +derecha);
/* SetAttributes */
tilesctx.putAttribute(title, Titulo nuevo de esta vaina..);
tilesctx.putAttribute(rightside, /common/footer.jsp);
/* SetAttributes */
}
}
---
You can change the values of those attributes at runtime. I prefer to do
it using this method.

For example, it would be ideal to use a JSTL type of syntax such as:

but this does not work.

Hi all,
I am newbie using tiles, so maybe this question is too easy for you.
I want to use a tile definition in which, one of the attribute values is
dynamic. It is something like this:

put name=title value=encoderconfig /
put name=body value=DYNAMIC CONTENT /

I want to use a dynamic url in body attribute, depending of a bean

You can also define a controllerClass for your tiles definition and
insert the tiles properties according to the user roles.

AW: AW: AW: using multiple action forms in one action. Best practice?
Bill, you seem to understand my application quite well. The metaphor of region/shops is excellent. What adds a bit of complexity is that the shop-module is just one of several. There might be an additional people-module, a statistical data-module, etc. Thus serializing the editing process in a wizard style would impose an order on the process which is not very pleasant. Also, I would like to reuse the forms/action for editing already existing objects/regions, where the order enforced by a wizard is not appropriate. But I think I have learned fromthis discussion how it could be implemented reasonably. The only exception being the question of scope which is not that important in my case.

November 2004 01:48 An: Struts Users Mailing List Betreff: Re: AW: AW: using multiple action forms in one action. Best practice? It's hard for me to answer because I don't really understand your application. JSP1 is for picking a region, and then JSP2 is for picking stores within that region, right? And then after picking the stores, you display a confirmation page with the map and the list of picked stores? When you hit the save button on the confirmation page, the input to the SaveAction is both the selected region and the selected stores, right? So you are combining the information entered on two previous forms. If it was me, I would have 3 separate actions and 3 separate action-forms: 1. select-region 2. select-stores 3. confirm-dialog The confirm-dialog ActionForm would contain both the region information and the list of stores. Thus I would only use one ActionForm per Action, and I wouldn't use session variables. Bill Martin Kindler wrote: Hi Bill, so you say, it is good practice to use the two forms in one action as I do in my current solution? Sure, one has to hide the internals from AF1 to an action primarily designed to use AF2 to keep the address module generic. Perhaps I should make the calling ActionForms implement a specific interface. If I really want a fully generic address module I would have to split the action(s) in two, simply because the actions designed for the address module need a generic API. I cannot rely (for full genericity) on a calling module to use AF1. In my current situation I will probably ignore this as it is a straightforward refactoring which can be done when need occurs. As to the question request vs. session scope I understand the problems which might occur using session scope. I do not see a solution which would also fulfil the modularization requirement. Thanks!

November 2004 02:10 An: Struts Users Mailing List Betreff: Re: AW: using multiple action forms in one action. Best practice? Hi Martin, From this JSP I want to access a (hopefully) generic module to get the access points. This module has to get some information (e. g. a region to prefilter the addresses or access points already existing) from JSP1. I think you should generate the input to the generic module, rather than passing the ActionForm directly: // get data from ActionForm1 needed to look up addresses AddressLookupInfo info = getAddressInfoFromActionForm1(AF1); // lookup addresses List res = AddressLookup.getAddresses(info); ... Then your module can still be generic. I could take the necessary information from AF1 to some POJO (or bean) on model level (or controller level) and transfer it to AF2. This is probably the cleanest solution but means to split each action into two, just to do the data transfer. You shouldn't need to split each action into two. Action1's job is to handle the input from ActionForm1, and then do the setup to display JSP2, right? So, just create the ActionForm2 manually inside Action1: // Create AF2 as an input/output form ActionForm2 af2 = new ActionForm2(); session.setAttribute(actionForm2, af2); // ... and pre-populate it with the data the user has already input ActionForm1 af1 = (ActionForm1) getActionForm(mapping, form, request, session); af2.loadDataFromAF1(af1); // forward control to JSP2 return (mapping.findForward(jsp2)); My current solution simply accesses both action forms, AF1 and AF2 (getting the one not available as the form-parameter by MyForm mf = (MyForm)session.getAttribute(AFi); but my feeling is that this is not really good style. I guess it depends on whether you consider the two forms to represent one logical command or two logical commands. The other

Performance is good, as long as one has memory resources available. The stylesheets can be cached when compiled, and using a decorator tool like sitemesh, the pages your XSL generates are quite small. The big disadvantage, as I see it, is it requires XSLT knowledge, which most web developers don't have. I probably wouldn't recommend it for apps that don't have their data in XML and don't need multiple views. Don Don, it's bean so long that I cant remember all the discussions from July this year, so there you go. My apologises, because I dont remember Stxx coming up in the conversation. Yeah! I agree XSLT is a bit harder to fathom for web page designers too. The use case is multiple views, data already stored and prepared in XML i.e. XML database / report or web services.

The important thing, I think, is to make sure that the framework leaves that option open for those that want it and does not require that option to those who do not want it. I am not privy to the details of your application, of course, but adding code to the controller to assist in the presentation seems to me to indicate a serious design flaw. That simply is not the business of the control layer, if you are using the control layer in an MVC pattern. Part of your bad experience with XSLT sounds like it is not related to the view issues but to some confusion in the architecture of the application? Not knowing much about the details, this is probably a harsh assessment, but it is what I would intuitively expect to find. My head keeps saying What the heck is the controller doing generating XML?. The controller should be deciding what to do about user input given whatever strategy the application has adopted.

I met a straight-up Cocoon fantastic a few years ago, but by then he was moving away from XSLT to proprietary web application framework on some app server. This biggest problem of the XML is the transformation phase, and it sounds like that the original tabular XML was not augmented with attributes to say this is hint render this row in green and now render that next row with white background. Then an XSLT can be written to easily transform things around (or not as the case may be). I think XML/XSLT pipeline is useful for static stuff that mostly does not change frequently.

Re: [OT] User Preference System Design
Hi Julian, you should take a look at CMS (container-managed security) as this is probably the most effective solution - integrated, portable, widespread etc. Try either tomcat's website for documentation there, or even look in the servlet spec from Sun, or in your appserver's docs, to see if it suits your needs.

Prepopulate a DynaForm
I'm trying to prepopulate a DynaForm with some values - right now just
hard-coded, later should be taken from a DB. For that I'm using a
SetupAction, that is called to prepopulate the form, insert it into the
request and after that forward to the actual action for presenting the
form to the user.
Looks like this:
public class MediaArchiveSetupAction extends Action {
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response){
ActionServlet servlet = this.getServlet();
MediaArchiveForm mediaArchiveForm = new MediaArchiveForm();
mediaArchiveForm.setServlet(this.getServlet());
MessageResources messageResources = servlet.getInternal();
mediaArchiveForm.set(author, test);
// TODO: check why this doesn't work
request.setAttribute(mediaArchiveForm, mediaArchiveForm);
// this does actually work
request.setAttribute(test, dummy);
return (mapping.findForward(success));
}
}
Using this approach I always get a null pointer exception, leading me to
the presumption that the actual form-object isn't built.
Any ideas why?

Re: Reload the MessageResources ???
At 12:29 PM +0800 11/17/04, Eric Chow wrote: Hello, I implement a EJBMessageResource that extends Struts' MessageResources. How can I reload the MessageResources after the application starts ??? Struts stores its MessageResources object in the ServletContext under whatever key is specified using the key attribute in the struts-config.xml, or if none is specified, under org.apache.struts.Globals.MESSAGES_KEY. If you are using modules, the ServletContext attribute name is extended by adding the module config's prefix at the end. So you can write any kind of web-based interface which retrieves your extension of MessageResources, and then call a method on your class that tells it to reload itself. Alternatively, of course, you could look at the initModuleMessageResources method in ActionServlet to see how they get initialized in the first place. This would show you how to handle the whole set of resources for a module, in case you want to have a reload which is more complete, rather than needing to know where to find just one MessageResources object.

Re: [OT] User Preference System Design
I like java.util.Properties, or, if Strings aren't good enough, another wrapper for a Map that allows put/get of Objects but that uses a hierarchical default system like Properties does. Properties has built in load/save methods that you can use to store your properties on disk until you move them to a RDBMS. Base user has colors A, B, C. Next higher user needs to have a different color A but inherit colors B and C. Create his properties with the Base user properties as the default, then just put the new property A. Works nicely for that sort of thing. Erik Julian wrote: Hi, I am a Struts Newbie and would appreciate if anyone could give me some pointers on a user preferences/ configuration system design.

Hi, Thanks for the input. The Properties object is more inline with what I was thinking. The problem with it however, is that there can only be one key/value pair. I see no ability to have one key with multiple pairs other than doing comma delimitation. This is why XML was chosen originally.

RE: [OT] User Preference System Design
The most common way to store more than one element in a properties file is to have more than one entry like the following: colour.count=3 colour.0=red colour.1=green colour.2=blue So your code loads the property for colour.count and loops through the other properties. Not very elegant, but it works.

Re: Can we use multiple Controllers in a single web-application?
1)Is it possible to have Multiple Controllers in a single web-applicaion? (both these controllers are extended from the ActionServlet) Struts was not designed to support two ActionServlets in a single webapp. There are many places where resources would be initialized by the first webapp and then clobbered by the second. Actually, given the uncertainty of synchronization, you'd probably get a mish-mash. But Struts is not careful about how it uses the Application Context because it assumes that there is only one ActionServlet. As we've been talking about new designs for Struts in the future, I have been thinking that it would be nice to have Struts put only one object in the ApplicationContext: a Struts object which then uses its own internal references to manage application-scoped values so that instead they would be scoped to the instance that initialized them. There might still be some issues with things like the JSP tags, and this would certainly break backwards compatibility, so there's not much likelihood of this being implemented any time soon. I just prefer the model where less objects are put into the various scopes, and those objects are given more responsibility to manage references, instead of relying on well-known attribute names. Perhaps if you discuss some of the goals you are trying to achieve using multiple controllers, members of the list could help you come up with alternate solutions.

Installation Getting Started Question
I am wanting to see how Struts may help in my J2EE development. I have purchased the O'Reilly book Jakarta Struts and want to get started with some examples. 1) I am currently running Tomcat 4.1.31 as a standalone. Can struts be installed with Tomcat as standalone? I saw somewhere in the install where it says to make sure you have Apache and Tomcat installed? Can someone help clear this up? 2) Is there a hello Struts example somewhere? Just to test the install/setup before I get under way? 3) The book does not start off simple either, so how can one get a handle on this effectively? My background is Servlets/JSP/ Web development. Including taglibs, ant, etc. Thanks, Scott

1) Not sure if apache required. 2) Google for struts tutorial. You will find many simple apps to get you started and your configuration verified. 3) I started with the same book. You have to get through I think 3 chapters before you actual start writing an App! There might be some stuff in those first 3 chapters you will only understand after doing some Struts development. I suggest reading those chapters not worrying if you don't get something, then try one of the online tutorials to get some programming under your belt, then go back to the first three chapters and make sure you have answered most of your questions.

RE: [OT] User Preference System Design
I would say that 'system' level configurations(applying to all users) could easily be handled with XML files or properties files. User preferences, since they are tied to a specific user, IMO belong in the database, probably in a user preferences table. I know XML is a popular choice - you could create a seperate folder, for each user, to hold user settings (like a preferences.xml file), or you could store all user info in one monolithic file. I don't much like either of these approaches. I prefer to store application-specific configurations in the database, using 'codelist' tables. I wrote an article about it a few months ago, have a look if you want: http://www.developer.com/db/article.php/3413151 I wrote an app where I stored all preferences in codelist tables.

Localised validation
Hi, I am trying to write a multi-language system which will accept localised input in one of 2 countries, namely Austria and England (and later Italy). The problem is that of trying to validate and also to convert input. I would like to be able to validate dates and numbers using the built-in standard validator-rules (eg 'double' via org.apache.struts.validator.FieldChecks.validateDouble). Using the date validator means I just need to set a new datePatternStrict which is easily done using localised formsets with different constants. However the double formatting falls over on valid Austrian prices (eg 5,99), since there is no localisation in this check. Since my application is now rather large and has all been coded for the UK so far I don't want to have to add conversion in all my ActionForms or to change all my validation to masks! To get around putting conversion in the ActionForms I am currently subclassing the RequestProcessor to translate (according to some config) locale specific formats to UK formats. However, as I want any invalid input to be picked up by the validator framework which I am currently using, I do this after the call to processValidate(). Is there a better way to do this input translation which would be quick but yet clean to implement? And is there anyway to make the validator framework locale aware, apart from writing my own checks or using masks?

Using constants for form property names.
Hi All, I have found all sorts of ways to use constants for messages in struts, but no one seems to address the issue of property names. A simple example will make it clearer. I want to use constants for my property names. In my jsp I have the following code: html:checkbox property=%=Keys.APPLICANT_FULLNAME_CHINESE_NA% onclick=clearAndDisable(this, '%=Keys.APPLICANT_FULLNAME_CHINESE_NA%'); N/A /html:checkbox The above jsp code does not work because it is rendered as follows: input name=applicantFullNameChineseNA value=on onclick=clearAndDisable(this, '%=Keys.APPLICANT_FULLNAME_CHINESE_NA%'); type=checkboxN/A The first expression for 'property' is evaluated. The second is rendered literally. My questions are: 1. Is this a bug? 2. Is this the right way to go about using constants for property names?

The Properties object is more inline with what I was thinking. The problem with it however, is that there can only be one key/value pair. I see no ability to have one key with multiple pairs other than doing comma delimitation. This is why XML was chosen originally.

Next higher user needs to have a different color A but inherit colors B and C. Create his properties with the Base user properties as the default, then just put the new property A.

Re: Pre-populate form
The ActionForm you specified in your ActionMapping in struts-config.xml under the name attribute, e.g. logonForm, is available to you in the execute method. Just cast your ActionForm parameter to the particular form you used with the Action, e.g., if you have public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) And if your ActionForm is LogonForm, then LogonForm logonForm = (LogonForm)form; gives you the ActionForm to set as you desire. Cool, eh? Struts is wonderful. Why people hate ActionForms is beyond me. I love them.

Nested properties with javascript
Hi,
In my jsp, i am using nested properties of a form.
RoleForm has UserForm which has agencies, agencyName and agencyId within it.
The agencies and divisions need to be displayed in dropdown boxes.
I got this to display correctly on my jsp using:
html:select property=userForm.agencyId onchange=fillSelect(this.form)
html:option key=select.generic value= /
html:optionsCollection property=userForm.agencies value=agencyId
label=agencyName /
/html:select
However, in the javascript for the onChange of this dropdown, i need a
handle to this dropdown.
the fillSelect function needs to do:
function fillSelect(el)
{
var theSelect = el.agencyId; // == How do i get the dropdown handle
here?
var num = theSelect.options[theSelect.selectedIndex].value;
:
: // more procesing
}
With the above, i get the error: theSelect has no properties.
If i put in var theSelect = el.userForm.agencyId, i get the error:
el.userForm has no properties.
What would be the correct way to access the dropdown box?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Dhanashree.
Re: Nested properties with javascript
The form propert will be whatever is rendered in the name attribute. Try this.

The application configuration indicates what functionalities of the application are available for a particular user. A user would be able to inherit configurations and preferences from the group they belong to based on their role(s - this is a one-to-many relationship - 1 user --- * role(s)). The group would in turn inherit from the organization's (global) configurations and preferences.

I currently am loading XML configs directly from the file system, but this will not work in a distributed environment serving several independent organizations.

Web Site vs Web Application
I'm interested in implementing the Struts and Tiles frameworks for a web site (moving slowly toward web application). Is it possible, or even recommended to design something similar to the following for the static portions of a web site. Assume Tiles have been defined to provide a common site wrapper. What's left is to select the body (jsp or Tile). Do this by defining a layout that will provide the site wrapper and receive that content/body (page or Tile) as a parameter. Then a generic action could grab the page requested from URL and put into common scope. The layout would grab the requested page name from the common scope and result in the requested page. An approach like this seems to simplify the adding of new content pages by eliminating configuration for tiles and struts. It seems this would also help when implementing a content management system that would simply add the content (body) portion of these pages. For example, once a body was added to the site, a request for that page would be successful with no additional configuration. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [OT] User Preference System Design
I'd like to learn more about storing XML in the database myself. I really
haven't had much experience there so I couldn't say if it is beneficial or not.
I started out as a database developer so I tend to rely heavily on the
database for a number of things, system prefs being one of those things.
Oracle( as I'm sure other vendors do as well) uses 'codelist' tables for
storing a great deal of application metadata and I've always liked that
approach.
As I said, I wrote/am still writing a system where I define codelists that
define different preferences ('show_x', 'hide_a'). A user preferences table
contains user_id, but also columns name and value which would include
'show_x'/'true', 'hide_a'/'false').

RE: Web Site vs Web Application
Allan, If you are simply selecting the body while the whole site has the same wrapper, why use SiteMesh? It is a filter which wraps anything matching specific patterns (could be *.jsp, *.html, or even /someSection/* which needs it's own look such as a cross site agreement) and kicks it out with it's own wrapping JSP yet your body. Bodies may also be nested depending on the template. Take a look at it at: http://www.opensymphony.com/sitemesh/ With Tiles, you could always make every page invoke one specific tile which lists a Tile(s?)Controller in the definition. That definition could parse the URI (or pull the name from a scope bean created by your action) and insert the appropriate center tile for you. I'd recommend extending org.apache.struts.tiles.ControllerSupport. For what you described, I do not recommend making your actions subclass TilesAction because you would have much more work than simply implementing a TilesController in your particular template. See tiles controllers starting in section 5.2.1 of the Tiles Advanced Features (link at bottom of this page: http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/dev_tiles.html).

Re: [OT] User Preference System Design
I don't know of any resources like this, but I'm sure there are database books
which detail the use of tables to help configure code. Like I said, I based my
own tables off of what I've seen Oracle do, but there's probably a lot of
variations on the same concept.

Re: Web Site vs Web Application
Allen: We use a practice somewhat like what you describe when roughing out prototype sites, or when a site has a pretty high amount of static content. We've written a TilesSmartForwardingAction which we plug in as the unknown (default) action, and it parses the request path and converts that into a JSP. It then sets the derived value as a tiles attribute and forwards to a configured tile definition which is the template. This lets our artists add pages to the site without having to muck with the struts-config, all the while keeping all page access going through Struts, so that should we later need to apply some logic, we can. Using the Struts 1.2 wildcard action path mapping, you could extend this further to support a few different basic layouts based on match-regions of the path. Now that I look, I see that it ended up in the grab-bag of struts helpers that we put up online: http://demo.jgsullivan.com/struts/TilesSmartForwardingAction.html source code: http://demo.jgsullivan.com/struts/xref/com/jgsullivan/struts/actions/TilesSmartForwardingAction.html Javadoc: http://demo.jgsullivan.com/struts/apidocs/com/jgsullivan/struts/actions/TilesSmartForwardingAction.html Hope that helps...

Is it possible, or even recommended to design something similar to the following for the static portions of a web site. Assume Tiles have been defined to provide a common site wrapper. What's left is to select the body (jsp or Tile). Do this by defining a layout that will provide the site wrapper and receive that content/body (page or Tile) as a parameter. Then a generic action could grab the page requested from URL and put into common scope. The layout would grab the requested page name from the common scope and result in the requested page. An approach like this seems to simplify the adding of new content pages by eliminating configuration for tiles and struts. It seems this would also help when implementing a content management system that would simply add the content (body) portion of these pages. For example, once a body was added to the site, a request for that page would be successful with no additional configuration. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Joe Germuska [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blog.germuska.com Narrow minds are weapons made for mass destruction -The Ex - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Using commons HttpUtils to call an Action, but it doesn't work.
I'm using the following code in an initialization routine to call an Action.

Any reason why this wouldn't work in the execute() method of another action?

String webAppUrl = requestUrl.substring(0, requestUrl.lastIndexOf(/) );
String loadStateFormsUrl = webAppUrl + /initAction.do;

RE: Using commons HttpUtils to call an Action, but it doesn't wor k.
Might seem silly but have you checked the firewall rules for the production
server?
I have seen lots of times where the firewalls or routers are set up in such
a way that you cannot hit your own site(s)/boxes from within the firewall,
or even resolve the DNS name (easily fixed with a etc/hosts entry of
course).
I would run down the network path since you say it works on a development
server.

LazyForm
Is there anyway to use a LazyForm to do a something like: html:text property=mixture(1)date/ html:text property=mixture(1)flask(confluency)/ html:text property=mixture(1)flask(action)/ html:text property=mixture(2)date/ html:text property=mixture(2)flask(confluency)/ html:text property=mixture(2)flask(action)/ Not the best example, but exactly what I need to do :) Otherwise I'm stuck with: html:text property=mixture-1-date/ html:text property=mixture-1-flask-confluency/ html:text property=mixture-1-flask-action/ html:text property=mixture-2-date/ html:text property=mixture-2-flask-confluency/ html:text property=mixture-2-flask-action/ And then searching through the request.getParamaterNames() or something like that... Thanks... -- Sloan
Re: LazyForm
I haven't used lazyform but i imagine it should work as follows.
form-bean name=yourForm type=org.apache.struts.action.LazyForm
form-property name=mixtures type=java.util.ArrayList /
/form-bean
c:forEach var=mixture items=${yourForm.mixtures}
html:text name=mixture property=date indexed=true /
if you really want you could use a logic:iterate rather than c:forEach
logic:iterate id=mixture name=yourForm property=mixtures
The html:text will render to
input type=text name=mixture[0].date /
You wont need to search request parameters although if you like that
sort of thing you could.
LazyDynaForm theForm = (LazyDynaForm) form;
List mixtureList = (List) theForm.get(mixtures);
for(int i = 0;i mixutureList.size();i++) {
String date = (String) mixutureList.get(i);
}

using JSTL with struts (stupid question?)
Hi,

My problem is the inability to use ${expression..} in the JSP
pages I use with struts.
I have tried to look for information but failed to fix the
problem myself, unfortunately. I have followed instructions here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/standard-doc/GettingStarted.html
e.g. put jstl.jar and standard.jar in WEB-INF/lib of my webapp,

But the ${expression..} stuff keeps showing off raw instead of
interpreted as the expression I give.

but didn't find any information on how to install it :/

Indexed properties
I am getting the nested beans out of my form ok but saving gives no joy.
I am trying to use the 2.1 Hand Cranking lazy List in the ActionForm
from http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsCatalogLazyList. However, I
never see my log messages from the indexed getter methods for any of the
nested beans.
nested:form action=saveUnitDayScheduleAction.do
nested:iterate id=days property=days
nested:iterate id=workgroups property=workgroups
nested:iterate id=employeeAppointments
property=employeeAppointments
nested:hidden property=statusCode indexed=true /
/nested:iterate
/nested:iterate
/nested:iterate
/nested:form
The form has a collection of DayOfWeekBeans called days.
Each DOW bean has a collection of WorkgroupBeans called workgroups.
Each WG bean has a collection of EmployeeAppointmentBeans called
employeeAppointments.
To that end the form and each of DOW and WG beans have the following
general construct (in a garish form of C++ template syntax).
public BEAN_TYPE getLIST(int index)
{
while (index = list.size()) {
list.add(new BEAN_TYPE());
}
return (BEAN_TYPE)list.get(index);
}
And of course the appropriate
public List getLIST(){ return list;} and
Public void setLIST( List list ) { this.list = list;}
The above JSP leads to this html fragment.
form name=unitDayScheduleForm method=post
action=/labor/saveUnitDayScheduleAction.do
input type=hidden
name=unitDayScheduleForm[0].days[0].workgroups[0].employeeAppointments[
0].statusCode value=N
input type=hidden
name=unitDayScheduleForm[1].days[0].workgroups[0].employeeAppointments[

The ability to use ${expr} in the text of a JSP page is new to JSP
2.0. Does your container support JSP 2.0? Tomcat 5 does, Tomcat 4 doesn't.

Thanks to both the suggestions about JSP 2.0 e.g. implemented
first in tomcat 5, I ended up on the following page:
http://archives.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0305L=jsp-interestD=0P=24887
And actually I was using a web.xml version 2.3, it seems EL is
disabled there by default :(
Using a 2.4 version, it does work perfectly.
But this is kinda stupid, I am using a web.xml file shown as a
demo in the official tomcat 5.0.27 distribution. I don't quite
get why it was using a web.xml of this older version.
Thanks for the help!

RE: tiles and redirect (non-struts application)
Saravanan,
This point has been discussed in the last 30 days. It usually came down to
the idea that tiles has already started writing to the output stream so the
headers are already committed, and often sent already. If you want do
perform business conditions like that, I recommend you put them into your
action and make a forward which your action can use INSTEAD of your tile.

Help with Exception handling
I know I've tried this before, but so far I haven't gotten all the pieces
properly arranged so it works. :/
I currently have code like this in an Action:
try {
benId = loginDAO.getBenId( asurite );
} catch ( TermsAcceptanceException ex ) {
return mapping.findForward( terms );
}
In struts-config.xml:
action
path=/denLogin
type=edu.asu.vpia.struts.DevilsDenLoginAction
name=loginForm
scope=request
validate=true
input=den.login.page
forward name=success path=den.login.success/
forward name=terms path=den.terms.agreement
/action
It's my impression that I don't need to catch the exception, that I *should*
be able to let Action.execute(...) throw it and the framework can be
configured to deal appropriately with it.
So I took out this line:
forward name=terms path=den.terms.agreement
And put in:
exception
type=edu.asu.dao.DAOException
path=/WEB-INF/error.jsp
key=error.dao.exception/
And I just get a JSP with a stack trace. Although TermsAcceptanceException
extends DAOException, it doesn't go to error.jsp.
Two questions... what is the 'key' attribute of exception used for, and
can anyone tell what I'm doing wrong?

Wendy, Damn, with a name like that it seemed like a resource or a Java code. I'm so used to the convention of starting a tiles definition with a period that you bluffed me. Now, on the JSP issues, since you're trading control over to JSP's, can't you list the exception in your web.xml configuration file?

Re: Help with Exception handling
Sorry, I don't exactly know what you are doing wrong, but here is an
example that shows what the key attribute is for:
From a struts-config.xml:
!-- broker login, logout --
action path=/broker/login type=LoginAction
name=brokerLoginForm scope=request validate=true
parameter=doBrokerLogin input=/broker/brokerlogin.jsp
exception key=broker.login.error.authFailure
type=AuthenticationException bundle=ExceptionMessages/
forward name=success path=/broker/brokerhome.jsp/
forward name=failure path=/shared/error.jsp/
/action
The key attribute to the exception element is a message resources
key, in the bundle specified by the bundle attribute. In my
ExceptionMessages properties file, I have:
broker.login.error.authFailure=Sorry, you entered the wrong password
You are correct that, in your Action's execute method, you simply throw
the Exception (in my example, an AuthenticationException), and the
framework will catch it (since handling has been configured).
In my JSP I have this:
%-- print exception messages if there are any, otherwise
print form validation error messages if there are
any --%
logic:present name=org.apache.struts.action.EXCEPTION
html:errors bundle=EXCEPTION_MESSAGES/
/logic:present
As someone pointed out in another Thread (I think it was Joe), my JSP
code (logic:present) is not the most efficient, but it works. This
prints the error message Sorry, you entered the wrong password at the
top of the page if that message is present (if the Exception was thrown).
I have also used the path attribute in a global exception config, and
it does work as expected. One thing I haven't done, however, is
configure for a base class of the actual Exception. I always configure
for the exact Exception class. So that could be it.
Hope this helps.

Re: AW: AW: AW: using multiple action forms in one action. Best practice?
Hi Martin, I see what you mean about the wizard metaphor being inappropriate for your case. Maybe tabbed dialog box is a closer analogy. But I guess that doesn't match exactly either, because the contents of tab B change according to the contents of tab A. Anyway, there are many ways to implement something like that and I guess each has advantages/disadvantages. By the way, in our application, we have a few cases where we process the data entered on multiple forms in one final action. Specifically we do this when we use popup windows, since the concept of ordering of pages becomes more complicated / impossible when there are multiple windows displayed on the screen at a single time. So we save the information from the popup window in the session context, and then reference it when the user hits submit on the main form. By the way, does anyone have experience using popup windows in this way without resorting to using session variables? Anyway, good luck! Bill Martin Kindler wrote: Bill, you seem to understand my application quite well. The metaphor of region/shops is excellent. What adds a bit of complexity is that the shop-module is just one of several. There might be an additional people-module, a statistical data-module, etc. Thus serializing the editing process in a wizard style would impose an order on the process which is not very pleasant. Also, I would like to reuse the forms/action for editing already existing objects/regions, where the order enforced by a wizard is not appropriate. But I think I have learned fromthis discussion how it could be implemented reasonably. The only exception being the question of scope which is not that important in my case.

November 2004 01:48 An: Struts Users Mailing List Betreff: Re: AW: AW: using multiple action forms in one action. Best practice? It's hard for me to answer because I don't really understand your application. JSP1 is for picking a region, and then JSP2 is for picking stores within that region, right? And then after picking the stores, you display a confirmation page with the map and the list of picked stores? When you hit the save button on the confirmation page, the input to the SaveAction is both the selected region and the selected stores, right? So you are combining the information entered on two previous forms. If it was me, I would have 3 separate actions and 3 separate action-forms: 1. select-region 2. select-stores 3. confirm-dialog The confirm-dialog ActionForm would contain both the region information and the list of stores. Thus I would only use one ActionForm per Action, and I wouldn't use session variables. Bill Martin Kindler wrote: Hi Bill, so you say, it is good practice to use the two forms in one action as I do in my current solution? Sure, one has to hide the internals from AF1 to an action primarily designed to use AF2 to keep the address module generic. Perhaps I should make the calling ActionForms implement a specific interface. If I really want a fully generic address module I would have to split the action(s) in two, simply because the actions designed for the address module need a generic API. I cannot rely (for full genericity) on a calling module to use AF1. In my current situation I will probably ignore this as it is a straightforward refactoring which can be done when need occurs. As to the question request vs. session scope I understand the problems which might occur using session scope. I do not see a solution which would also fulfil the modularization requirement. Thanks!

Hi Martin, From this JSP I want to access a (hopefully) generic module to get the access points. This module has to get some information (e. g. a region to prefilter the addresses or access points already existing) from JSP1. I think you should generate the input to the generic module, rather than passing the ActionForm directly: // get data from ActionForm1 needed to look up addresses AddressLookupInfo info = getAddressInfoFromActionForm1(AF1); // lookup addresses List res = AddressLookup.getAddresses(info); ... Then your module can still be generic. I could take the necessary information from AF1 to some POJO (or bean) on model level (or controller level) and transfer it to AF2. This is probably the cleanest solution but means to split each action into

Re: Help with Exception handling
Wendy,
Struts exception handling *does* work correctly when it comes to
inheritance; and your configuration looks correct. First, check the FQN
(fully-qualified name) of your exception -- if that's correct, I suggest
you take out your handy-dandy debugger and set a breakpoint in the
RequestProcessor. I think you will find that using the debugger is
(a) fun,
(b) educational, and
(c) fun ;)

Re: URL Customization
A frameset with a single frame in it (doesn't need to be invisible) will get rid of the /index.jsp or /serverpages/add-record.rr parts of the URL. To get rid of the context path (/mywebapp) part, you'l need to either install your application as the root webapp on the server (in Tomcat, for example, you deploy to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT) or you'll need to configure the server to somehow dynamically remap requests internally.

RE: how to access oracle database on netwrk
You have to use Oracle thin driver instead. I don't remember the location of jar file named classes12.jar for example to be used with jdk1.3, but it would be available with an Oracle client installation or you can copy them from an existing oracle client/oracle installation.

Hi David, David G. Friedman schrieb: René, By +1, I meant I would vote to add filter=true/false to the html:text and html:textarea tags as well. So, when you write you are using regular html tags, are you using a tag with bean write, like this: html type=text name=input value=bean:write filter=false name=beanName property=propertyName/ / Thanx for the information. Yes I'm using the HTML tags like this. Furthermore I'm using the select tags with logic:iterate inside to create the option entries.

Re: how to access oracle database on netwrk
You say you are using Oracle, but your configuration is for a MySQL database. For Oracle, your driver class is going to be oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver. Your URL is going to follow this pattern: jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:port:db_name The database name is also known as a TNS name in Oracle terms. Usually this is something you have to obtain from whoever set up the database. You are also going to need to download the Oracle thin driver from the URL I gave you earlier. You may have to register, I can't remember, but it's painless if you do. The driver jar file (ojdbc14.jar) has to be in your server's classpath. You don't say what server you are using, but in the case of Tomcat, it goes in tomcat_home/common/lib/. The Oracle thin driver (the collection of classes which lives in the above mentioned jar file) is a Java library which enables your Java application to talk to the Oracle database server over a network using the JDBC API. The classes are implementations of JDBC. (Sorry if you already know all this.) You don't have to use the Struts data source configuration you are trying to use, but you can if you want. Consider it to be optional. It might be easier to just follow the documentation that comes with your server for setting up a JDBC connection pool (data source). You can get a reference to a Java DataSource instance using a standard JNDI lookup (there are tutorials on this). Again, if you are using Tomcat, the docs will help with this (I think there is an Oracle example). Hope this helps, Erik Nishant wrote: hello, i am using oracle 9i as my database in my application.

Re: JerichoFaces ?
Again, Craig, we are in complete agreement. I also am madly in love with the basic idea behind Tiles and with what Tiles does. I don't see why everyone isn't. Tiles, however, uses a controller in a very different sense than the sense Struts uses a web framework controller in a MVC pattern. Tiles is not at all like Java ServerFaces. That is to mix apples and oranges. Tiles, unlike Java ServerFaces, is perfectly consistent with Struts. Indeed, the JerichoFaces envisioned at http://131.191.32.112:8080/ encompasses the whole Tiles idea. The fact that Tiles has an interface used to insert the referents of attributes in definitions which is called incidentally called Controller does not mean it is anything like a controller in an MVC framework. It is not. Tiles is not a page based MVC controller or any type of MVC controller at all, and is consistent with either a page based controller such as Java ServerFaces or a controller that keeps the view and the model appropriately separate such as Struts. RIght? The bottom line is that Shale is wholly inconsistent with the Struts approach. If Struts 2.0 becomes Shale, Struts is dead. That would be, I think, a shame. I would encourage Shale and Struts. I know that as things stand, I simply cannot go the Shale route. So far my concerns are magnified not ameliorated by my admitted learning curve on Java ServerFaces. If Shale were to adopt something like Java ServerFaces but consistent with Sttuts, that would be different. But that is not in the mix, so the difference is moot. As you can see, at http://131.191.32.112:8080/ I have now split up JerichoData and JerichoFaces. I think that a wholly separate event based architecture with a multithreaded scheduler on the side is needed for workflow. That is what I have been doing for about six months and I am very happy with the results. The View in the MVC does not care about the model, really. What it cares about is what eventually is moved to request, page (tile), session and application scope and is available to tags. Consequently, I think that an abstraction which provides a framework data center apart from the model data in databases, etc., not only makes sense but will allow workflows to concentrate on algorithms and policies and not worry about where the data is. The data will be where the interface between the JerichoFaces and JerichoData says it is. The basic idea is just to have a Data interface which JerichoFaces can use to retrieve its Data for its components. Thanks for your thoughts. Please feel free to smack me around if there is some legitimate sense in which Tiles Controller classes can be considered to be a controller in the MVC pattern in Struts.
