Re: request between actions

[brenmcguire]

It seems that a bug report connected to this problem has been posted. Take
a look to:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32134
I think the way to work around to it is to put in the  tag the
attribute:
contextRelative="true"
Or maybe you could download the CVS version of Struts (ok ok I'm joking!).

Yeah, this is fine. But I also need to access the key in defining
 tag of the  tag. Right now I have to do a
workaround by using a global constant. I want to avoid multiple points
of updation.

RE: Problem with validation using both minlength and maxlength on the same field

[David G. Friedman]

Niall,

Derek isn't crazy and this looks like a bug to me IF your args try to use
'resource="true"'.  I duplicated the problem using Struts 1.2.4 with the
commons validator 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 jars.  Sadly, the java code suggests
resource="true" works in 1.1.4 but I can't get it to work even with a new
1.1.4 testing jar AND fully stopping/restarting Tomcat 5.5.4.  Essentially,
I'm seeing resource="true" use the message resources to fill out the error
fields on both the client and server sides, just not populating the vars for
the client or server side validations to be able to use them.

For example, using this rule, call it "rule A", everything works normally on
the client and server sides:






minlength7
maxlength20



Modifying this into "rule B", the validation will not work on the client
side OR the server side, BUT the error messages show the appropriate message
resources numbers and words (for the arg0 field name, for example).  Here is
"rule B":









My message resources file works properly (tested thoroughly) with:
testingForm.name=Name
testingForm.name.min=7
testingForm.name.max=20

At: /WEB-INF/classes/resources/Application.properties
In struts-config.xml as:


Here is the lower level stuff showing the problem.  With "rule A", our
Validation methods set maxlength, minlength, etc. properties as expected in
the JavaScript such as:

function ValidationForm_required () {
 this.a0 = new Array("name", "Name is required.", new Function
("varName", "this.maxlength='20'; this.minlength='7';  return
this[varName];"));
}

function ValidationForm_minlength () {
 this.a0 = new Array("name", "Name can not be less than 7 characters.",
new Function ("varName", "this.maxlength='20'; this.minlength='7';  return
this[varName];"));
}

function ValidationForm_maxlength () {
 this.a0 = new Array("name", "Name can not be greater than 20
characters.", new Function ("varName", "this.maxlength='20';
this.minlength='7';  return this[varName];"));
}

And in the server-side Java Field object:

Field:
key = name
property = name
indexedProperty = null
indexedListProperty = null
depends = required, minlength, maxlength
page = 0
fieldOrder = 0
Vars:
maxlength=Var: name=maxlength  value=20  jsType=null

minlength=Var: name=minlength  value=7  jsType=null

However, set the resource="true" as in "rule B", and you are missing that
information on both the client side and the server side:

 function ValidationForm_required () {
 this.a0 = new Array("name", "Name is required.", new Function
("varName", " return this[varName];"));
}

function ValidationForm_minlength () {
 this.a0 = new Array("name", "Name can not be less than 7 characters.",
new Function ("varName", " return this[varName];"));
}

function ValidationForm_maxlength () {
 this.a0 = new Array("name", "Name can not be greater than 20
characters.", new Function ("varName", " return this[varName];"));
}

And for the server-side your Field object ALSO lacks the variables:

Field:
key = name
property = name
indexedProperty = null
indexedListProperty = null
depends = required, minlength, maxlength
page = 0
fieldOrder = 0
Vars:

End result, "rule A" works on both sides while "rule B" fails on both sides
but does correctly populate the error fields with the message parameters.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Additionally, I don't like the redundancy.  Using the above illustrations,
this.a0 is set in EVERY method.  Can't we consolidate this so it is setup
once something like the below and have that put into the main
"validateWhateverForm(form)" method after checking that bCancel is false and
before the validation checks?

this.a0 = new Array("name", new Function ("varName", "this.maxlength='20';
this.minlength='7';  this.error.minlength='Name can not be less than 7
characters.'; this.error.maxlength='Name can not be greater than 20
characters.';return this[varName];"));

The 2 differences being:

a) All errors are in one place under this.error.VALIDATIONTYPE such as
this.error.minlength, this.error.maxlength, this.error.required,
this.error.intRange, etc. instead of being Array index 1 (if starting from a
zero array index position)

b) Initialization for each object is in one place.  Since the JavaScript
appears to look for an object matching the first name of the Array anyway,
wouldn't this be cleaner and less redundant?

Should I post the top part and/or the bottom part to Buzilla?  Which one?
Commons or Struts?  Opinions are requested on this one plus a few more
people to triple check this by performing their own simp

That was very nice of you.  I'll have to add a complementary post about

If you need to pass parameters to the 2nd action (either the same 
parameters or different ones), AND you need to forward using 
redirect="true" (because you want the URL displayed in the browser URL 
bar to be changed),  then you should try using MyActionForward 
(http://wiki.apache.org/struts/ForwardingWithDifferentParameter).

RE: problem with required validation

[David G. Friedman]

Rajesh,

What version of Struts or commons validator are you using?  I'm on Struts
1.2.4 (it has the Commons Validator 1.1.3) and both the JavaScript AND the
server-side Java class trim off leading and trailing  white space characters
for the "required" validation.  Yes, I read the code in both places tonight
because I'm researching something on my own with the validation framework.
Lucky me I'm reading the code you're asking about.  :)

Re: Problem with validation using both minlength and maxlength on the same field

[Niall Pemberton]

You need to specify maxlength and minlength variables.

  




 minlength10


 maxlength20


Alternatively, if its an integer field you could use the intRange validator
instead

  




 min10


 max20

rinse, repeat



blah
Then the action you submit to takes the input params, folds, spindles and 
mutilates as appropriate, eventually adding it to the list in the session.
The save action, grabs this list from the session and then folds, spindles and 
mutilates the list as appropriate.

I think I found the flaw in your original design.  In layout.jsp you 
want to take the "body" attribute defined in tiles-def.xml and pass it 
on to bodyFrame.jsp as "bodypage".  So you need to use beanName, right?

tiles-def.xml:

Does that work for you?

your way to make nested tiles works fine. (After i changed "extends" 
to "template" in the second definition).

It has the advantage that the jsp´s are smaller and easier to 
understand, but at the cost you
need 2 definitions for each page. If you are only use one BodyFrame, 
you need a little more code i think.

I hope there are coming a better documentation about nested tiles 
with some best practics in future.

Adding rows (beans) to dynamic form

[Daffin, Miles (Company IT)]

Hi All,
 
I apologise in advance for this question - but I have searched/tried all
day without nailing a solution.
 
I am using DynaValidatorActionForm. One of the fields is a list of
qualifications. Each qualification has three fields (I have implemented
this as a simple custom bean).
 
I want the user to be able to add qualifications to the list
dynamically. Initially there will be a table with three text inputs. If
the user presses a 'Save' button on the same row as the inputs the form
will be submitted and reloaded. The user will then see a row for the
data they just added (with a delete button), followed by the row of
three empty inputs as before. The user can then go on adding
qualifications to the list before finally submitting the whole form
(different dispatch).
 
I have done this before without struts (a hideous combination of
javascript and jsp scriptlets). Can anyone point me a example of how to
do this kind of thing cleanly with tags/struts? I feel I may be
overcomplicating things.
 
Many thanks.

Simple... in the action that forwards to the jsp you do have an action 
forwarding to the jsp right? :)
Something like
if( object in session) {
copy object to form;
}
forward to jsp

Because very little is _clearly_ answered in the UserGuides, particularly that 
question.  In hindsight, he was trying to do something that is probably 
illegal, but it's a matter of "what isn't specifically allowed is 
disallowed". I had the impression it was possible to do what he was doing 
too.  In further hindsight, I see Jim actually said what I meant (I seem to 
have omitted a "not"), anyway...

RE: Checking radio button based on object value

[t t]

To my opinion, using "true" and "false" as radio buttons' value is not a good 
idea. Try to do that as shown in my example. If your form bean's scope 
is"session", there should be no problem. it will reproduce what the user 
selected.

I can set the default values in my form bean ok, I set them all to false

The problem is once updated options have been submitted and saved in the

So the next time into the JSP "true" and "false" values should be checked to

Not sure if your optionOne and optionTwo is two groups of radio button or
two radio button in one group. I give you an example to illustrate how to
set default values:

Suppose I have a group (group1) of radio buttons, say 3. I want to preselect
the first one.
In my JSP file. I do this:





In the form bean file, I will have a property called "group1", and default

RE: Checking radio button based on object value

[Ciaran Hanley]

Ok sounds like this could solve my problem. How do I get the object from the
session and populate the form? My ActionForm does not have the
HttpServletRequest visible to it as it is created with a no parameter
constructor.

public OptionsForm()
{
}

My question now is how/where can I call

Options options = (Options)request.getSession().getAttribute("userOptions");

I'll describe the scenario where you are using a database.

In the action that is displaying "existing values" (ones in the database)
  1.  Retrieve record from database
  2.  Populate form bean with values from database
  3.  Forward to the jsp

If you are not getting your values from the database, but rather from
a session variable -- then replace step 2 with "populate form bean
with values from session object"

If you have

RE: Problem with validation using both minlength and maxlength on the same field

Actually, they are both arg1 for their respective validators... See the
docs:
http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/dev_validator.html

minlength - validate input data isn't less than a specified minimum length.
Requires a minlength variable.




minlength3


maxlength - validate input data doesn't exceed a specified maximum length.
Requires a maxlength variable.




maxlength30

RE: Where to store and how to retrieve Images for web app

[Woodchuck]

hihi,

yea i also keep images on the fileserver.  it's nice and simple.  as
many others have said already, all that needs to go to the database is
any meta info about the image you require and any other info needed to
construct the image link for display.

no need for any servlet image<-->blob business.  when you need to
deploy or redeploy, just zip up the the images folder or just war the
whole thing and away you go.  can't get simpler than that.

i have also found websphere to be slower than tomcat.  it's not as
zippity as tomcat.  i'm willing to bet that it's because websphere has
a lot of @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@$&@% code in it.

have you thought of intRange instead?  Probably closer to what you're

Well...let's see... local to server file system, no data xfer across network. 
Store image in DB and you have to pull image across net, then shove it out to 
user.

Depending on image size and network latency, the container won't make any 
difference at all to performance.  

If you're doing a lot of images, then you probably want to put Apache in front. 
 I have told apache to redirect certain requests to the images directory, while 
letting my web app write their.  Beats ths stuffin out of writing a pass 
through servlet.  If apache and app-server can't reside on same box, share 
drives or use something like rsync to keep both boxes up to date.

As for app-server speed... I've found Websphere to be somewhat slower the 
Tomcat then again.. it could be the @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@$&@% legacy code I'm 
dealing with too.

Problem with validation using both minlength and maxlength on the same field

[jesnook]

I'm trying to validate a simple field.  I want to validate that the field 
is an integer, and meets the min and max length requirements.  In the same 
application I am able to correctly validate a date field so I'm confident 
my overall struts setup is correct.  However when I try to do both a min 
and max length check on the same field, the max length check doesn't work. 
 If I exceed the max length I get the min length message.  Below is a 
snippet from my validation.xml file.  I've setup my properties file to 
include the min and max length constants.

RE: Using a key as var-value in validator

[Ram Venkataswamy]

Hi,

If you have defined resource bundle in struts config & are able to
access key from jsp then no additional step/configuration is required to
access them in validation file. The arg/msg lookup resource bundle
defined for the application and then pick up value

FYI: 
 There is glitch though the resource key's specified in the "msg" tag as
well as the validator's "msg" attribute are found regardless of their
bundle. The field arg tag however does not behave the same way, even
when the bundle attribute is specified (it seems that the bundle
attribute is ignored).

Dear all,

I'm using Struts 1.2.4 with Validator 1.1.3 for my application. I need

Instead of hard-coding format string everywhere I would like to use a

Please share your views on this.

RE: Where to store and how to retrieve Images for web app

[Brady Hegberg]

We've tried a couple different approaches.  One of them involves a
pass-through servlet that grabs the image from the filesystem and sends
it to the browser on request.  It works well, in some cases.  However it
seems to cause some problems with caching - reloading the page is slow
and causes the graphics to flicker.  I wonder if people have run into
the same problems with storing pictures in mySQL.

Another possibility that I've considered is to have a directory of
images on the filesystem and copy them into your app at deploy time.  As
images are uploaded they would be saved to the filesystem and then
copied to the app.

Does anyone know if there are advantages in particular app-servers to
keeping your graphics on the filesystem versus in the database?

Re: Where to store and how to retrieve Images for web app

[fzlists]

I have faced this situation on a number of ocassions.  Speaking as someone who 
has done it just about every which way, I offer this "best practice"...

I suggest storing them on the file system OUTSIDE the webapp directory.  I then 
suggest creating an action specifically for returning images.  All you need to 
do in your JSPs are have normal  tags, but the src is your action, i.e., 
something like:



The action itself to return the images is really pretty trivial... Open the 
file, read it in and send it along to the ServletOutputStream of your Response 
object, returning null as the ActionForward from the Action so as to not 
forward anywhere since the response is complete at that point.

I make this suggestion for a couple of reasons...

(1) Storing and retrieving from a database, which I've done, is a little bit 
more complicated, but not terribly so.  More importantly though, dealing with 
BLOBs will usually lead to RDBMS-specific code.  I try to avoid that whenever 
possible.  However, this approach is good if you have restrictions (as I did in 
one case) in a host environment where they don't want you writing to the local 
file system.  In any case, it's obviously more overhead per call.

(2) You don't want to store the file in the webapp directory, as another poster 
stated, because then you have to remember to replicate the files when you need 
to blow away the app and reinstall.  Why add that hassle?

(3) Doing it with an Action like this gives you a tad more control over how 
things work than just figuring out a way to let the web server in front of the 
app server (or the app server itself) serve the images.  You can pull that off 
of course, but the really pretty small amount of code involved gives you some 
added flexibility (i.e., you can send in some sort of encoded ID for the image 
and get a real filename out of that, if security is a big concern, etc.).

Hope that helps!

Re: Where to store and how to retrieve Images for web app

[Joe Germuska]

It would be easy to store them in a subdirectory of the web app, which
would allow me to include them in my JSPs with a simple HREF tag.  However,
does this cause problems with the size of the web app, maybe the start-up
and reload speeds of the container, etc.?  I trialed this by storing 1500
images in myWebApp/Pictures, starting Tomcat and retrieving images with a
HREF tag in a JSP.  I didn't notice any impact on startup time or
performance, but I want to make sure I'm not missing some other problem...
I would definitely advise against storing them in your webapp; my 
experience is that you sometimes want to be able to completely delete 
your webapp and replace it with a "fresh" build, which you can't do 
if you are writing data into the directory.

If I store them in the filesystem outside of the web app directory
structure, I can't just refer to them in my JSPs with an HREF tag, right?
It would be more work to have an action servlet retrieve the image file and
return it to the browser in the response object.
In our deployment environment, we have a web server receive all HTTP 
requests, and the webserver proxies application requests to a J2EE 
server.  This allows the web server to deal with all the more routine 
requests like delivering images, stylesheets, and javascript.  The 
app would write uploaded images to a directory which is visible to 
the webserver, so that the app wouldn't be involved in servicing 
requests for images.  (I think this is more or less what Colin 
described.)

Most importantly, I'd advise writing an "image manager" class which 
encapsulates all this logic, so that most of your application is 
insulated from any changes you might have later.  This image manager 
class could be configured with a "filesystem path", a "web url 
prefix" and other such data, and then your actions can simply give it 
uploaded images as bytes or streams and "trust" that they'll be 
handled correctly, and then ask it to give them the right path for 
retrieving the image via URL, whether that is a path which is 
ultimately served by a web server going to the filesystem or whether 
it's a path to a servlet or Struts action which copies the bytes 
(from a DB BLOB column, a non-web accessible filesystem path, or 
wherever).  If you have metadata like Colin described, then this 
class would probably also have the responsibility for long-term 
persistence of the metadata.

From the Validator CVS repository, the newest DTD is this one:

That public ID ("-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Commons Validator

copy of the DTD which is included in the commons-validator JAR.  If 
you use this public ID, you shouldn't ever need to be online, because 
the configuration process will read the DTD from the JAR.

On the other hand, if you do want to specify a local path to a DTD in 
a DOCTYPE declaration, you probably need to specify it as a 
fully-qualified "file:///" URL (which has its own portability 
problems).  I'm not sure that there's a determinate way to predict

Re: Where to store and how to retrieve Images for web app

[Colin Kilburn]

John,
I typically store the images in a web-accessible directory.   I have 
done this in several different webapps (in several languages for that 
matter).  I typically have a table that holds any data about the image, 
most importantly, how to contruct a url for an image tag so I can 
display it on a page.   My scheme is generally to store the image with a 
file name of ..My table generally looks something like:

images (id, alt_text, type/file extension [, image dimensions])
This generally contains all I need to be able to display, create, update 
or delete the image.

The only advantage I see to storing them in a BLOB is the database 
backup benefit that Mark mentioned.   In my case this has not outweighed 
the simplicity of letting a web server serve images from the filesystem, 
which it does very well.

Hope this helps,

Using a module I go through an action to a JSP containg a form (using

Re: view controller

[Joe Germuska]

Yes but only half. Regarding the first point, since struts is 
actually able to accept and deal with a second action mapping in 
that mapping's "input" (or "forward") param, then somehow struts 
must be designed for it. It can't possibly have been a happy 
coincidence, surely? I don't know about tests.
Not really; it's just a side effect.  Struts is merely calling 
requestDispatcher.forward(...)If Struts were designed for it, you 
wouldn't be including the ".do" in the value of input, in the same 
way in which you don't have to include it in the "action" attribute 
of an html:form tag.

To say that Struts isn't "tested" for it may be overplaying the kind 
of testing we have, but it is true that in general, action chaining 
is considered "unsupported."  As you'll see below, deeper changes 
underway in Struts should obsolete the need to chain using multiple 
calls to requestDispatcher.forward(...) (with repeated runs through 
the entire request processing cycle).  The whole request processing 
cycle is going to be much more open and flexible.

I appreciate your direction though. Do you envisage being in a 
position to completely disable chaining in struts? Let me describe 
the situation I had at my last project where it was useful (and 
justified IMHO):

The screens were complex and were not under my control. Each screen 
contained up to 3 completely seperate bits of functionality, e.g. 
hotel bank account number, hotel billing address and hotel billing 
options. These were handled by different session facade calls.

I had already experienced alot of scope creep and I knew that these 
would change, and in fact I was pushing to get control of the screen 
designs, in which case I would simply have put the 3 different bits 
on different screens - so when coding the mappings, I made 3 
mappings and chained them together, so I could seperate out the 
Action classes and hopefully actually seperate out the page too in 
the future.

I didn't get the opportunity to seperate out the pages, but I was 
still happy that I could chain the mappings and have seperate Action 
classes.
I think that this is a good use case for the commons-chain library, 
and probably for the "ChainAction" that Craig recently wrote.  The 
ChainAction is meant as a way for users to delegate Action processing 
to a commons-chain command (which itself may be a chain of commands) 
in a way that would have allowed you to rearrange the "plumbing" just 
by editing config files.  Using these things right now is still a 
little cutting-edge, as there is still a lot of documentation to 
write, and probably some better support for multiple 
chain-configuration files...  we're hoping to push these things into 
the Struts core CVS as soon as commons-chain makes its 1.0 release 
(any day now).

Strictly speaking, this is all kind of tangential to a view 
controller, and in fact, if you were using ChainAction, you could 
slot in commands that each had any balance of responsibilities 
between "action processing" and "view preparation" that you liked. 
We might find ourselves looking for some good ways to standardize 
things like instantiation or location of the form bean which might 
need to be prepopulated for the destination view, which is one of the 
reasons I like the idea of formalizing view preparation.

RE: Where to store and how to retrieve Images for web app

[Mark Benussi]

John,
I have also had this issue, and I can come at the problem from a different 
angle.

I allow users to upload images, and they get persisted to the file system 
under a directory in the Web App. A pointer to the image also gets placed in 
mysql.

I will be migrating to storing the data in Mysql and at application startup 
I will write the data out to the filesystem for my files that reference 
them. My main reason for doing this is that in deployment I don't want any 
environment specific content being overwritten, or even having to worry 
about it. I know that I can safely clear out the Webapp directory and I know 
that my database is backed up (And therefore so are the images).

As a second point I would be interested to know if anyone has any code 
snippets to persist (Create and Read) the data to MySQl.

Subject: Where to store and how to retrieve Images for web app
Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2004 09:23:05 -0500


My web app will have about 300 users, each of whom will be allowed to
upload a max of 5 images/digital pictures.  I am using the Struts-upload
package.  I considered storing the images in MySQL as blobs, but have read
lots of advice that this is more trouble than it's worth / overkill.
However, I am perplexed (I am a newbie) as to where I should store them on
the file system and then how I would retrieve them and get them displayed
in a browser.  What is a "best practice" for this?
It would be easy to store them in a subdirectory of the web app, which
would allow me to include them in my JSPs with a simple HREF tag.  However,
does this cause problems with the size of the web app, maybe the start-up
and reload speeds of the container, etc.?  I trialed this by storing 1500
images in myWebApp/Pictures, starting Tomcat and retrieving images with a
HREF tag in a JSP.  I didn't notice any impact on startup time or
performance, but I want to make sure I'm not missing some other problem...
If I store them in the filesystem outside of the web app directory
structure, I can't just refer to them in my JSPs with an HREF tag, right?
It would be more work to have an action servlet retrieve the image file and
return it to the browser in the response object.  That seems to be just as
much work as storing them in MySQL, so why not just use MySQL?   What are
your opinions?

I had the same problem last week, and the simplest solution is to make sure 
you have the latest commons-validator jar.  1.1.3 validates properly against 
the DTD in the jar file, rather than needing to go to the web.

Re: disable validation of validator.xml & validator-rules.xml

[Joe Germuska]

Ultimately, this is the responsibility of the commons-validator 
library which Struts uses.  For each config file, a 
"ValidatorResources" object is constructed.  This object uses 
commons-digester to process the XML config.

http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-commons/validator/src/share/org/apache/commons/validator/ValidatorResources.java?view=markup
This object exposes no way to turn off validation, but it does make 
use of Digester's facility for registering DTDs against copies in the 
classpath.  If your file uses one of the DTDs listed in 
the"registrations" array in ValidatorResources (see source at above 
URL) then you won't have any problem.  From a brief glance, I wonder 
if some new registrations need to be added?  If you have time to 
check, perhaps you could file a bug against commons-validator at 
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla

For the near term, the suggestion of specifying an alternate local 
URL for the DTD is probably best.

Totally stuck handling forms

[Alexander Czernay]

I'm still trying to find a nice way for handling standard 
list/create/edit/delete-forms...

After browsing through all the hints and tips I got from here, I started 
building an initial form-setup-action using DispatchAction with a 
parameter dispatch that should be set to list, create, edit or delete, 
depending on the action wanted. That form-setup-action should 
pre-populate the form as needed and then forward to the apropriate 
action for display. There are two further actions; one for listing all 
existing entries (form-list-action, a LookupDispatchAction) and another 
for displaying an individual entry for editing (form-edit-action).

Now I tried to stick it all together passing parameters around. But 
exactly that doesn't work as expected: On the list-form I present a list 
of all entries available together with submit-buttons for 
edit/delete-actions for each individual entry. There also is a single 
create button for creating new entries. Pressing the create-button 
invokes a create-method in the form-list-action that calls a forward 
named "create". That forward points back to the form-setup-action with 
"?dispatch=create" added to the path. The form-setup-action should then 
forward to the appropriate form-create-action, but it looks like the 
dispatch parameter isn't passed on to the form-setup-action.

I wonder if this approach is ok or if there are better ones? How could 
the parameters be passed from one action to another (I couldn't find any 
parameter one could add to a -tag to pass paramaters that way.

Thanks for your help,
Alexander

implement in a Struts 1.3.x timeframe.

Joe

Joe,
I hope you don't think I'm labouring a point after the big discussion 
last week, but regarding a view controller registered against the 
input forward's path, I just don't get the paradigm.

It seems like an unnecessary complexity when you can do what Matt 
suggested and point the input attribute at a 'loader' action mapping.

As Struts is designed now, setting the "input" attribute of an action 
mapping to point to another action mapping results in two passes through 
the request processor for a single HTTP request.  This is not a use case 
for which Struts is designed or tested, and which could have strange 
side effects.  Certainly, many people use it today without problems, but 
why not move Struts towards a clearly defined usage pattern which 
doesn't involve any grey areas like this?

Having a loader action decouples it from the validation+processing 
action, which seems friendly and OO to me. Then you can use that 
loader action from anywhere - can you say the same about your view 
controller registered against the input forward path?

When I say that it's registered against the input forward path, I don't 
mean that it's connected to the validating action mapping.  I mean that 
the system is configured so that any time it is headed to the path 
defined as the input forward path, it will execute one or more view 
controllers.  Therefore, it doesn't matter whether you are presenting 
the form for the first time or on a subsequent pass; the view controller 
code would still be executed.  To me this seems "more OO" because it 
associates the processing code with the context in which it is used.  No 
one needs to remember a sequence of actions which must be chained; they 
just trust that the request context (including the session and 
application) have the right data in the right places, and then small 
adjustments necessary to rendering the view can be encapsulated cleanly.

Does that help at all?
Joe
Yes but only half. Regarding the first point, since struts is actually 
able to accept and deal with a second action mapping in that mapping's 
"input" (or "forward") param, then somehow struts must be designed for 
it. It can't possibly have been a happy coincidence, surely? I don't 
know about tests.

I appreciate your direction though. Do you envisage being in a position 
to completely disable chaining in struts? Let me describe the situation 
I had at my last project where it was useful (and justified IMHO):

The screens were complex and were not under my control. Each screen 
contained up to 3 completely seperate bits of functionality, e.g. hotel 
bank account number, hotel billing address and hotel billing options. 
These were handled by different session facade calls.

I had already experienced alot of scope creep and I knew that these

chained them together, so I could seperate out the Action classes and 
hopefully actually seperate out the page too in the future.

I didn't get the opportunity to seperate out the pages, but I was still 
happy that I could chain the mappings and have seperate Action classes.

Problem using MessageResources

[René Thol]

Hello everybody,
I'm still using struts1.0.2 (I have to) and have a problem regarding 
message resources.

The locale in my requests is always de and I'm setting a de_DE locale 
using the following:

session.setAttribute(Action.LOCALE_KEY, locale);
But when I'm fetching my messages a line later in this manner:
MessageResources messages = getResources();
and access them I only get the texts of my default properties file but 
not of my de-propertyfile.

Why?
Can please somebody tell me what went wrong and where I can get (webpage 
etc.) an insight in
strut's modus operandi regarding Message Resources and Locales?

I did not yet find a webpage where this behaviour of struts is 
described. Which locale do I have to set where
in order to get the corresponding MessagaResources by calling 
getResources() within my Action class.

Kind regards

places.

Instead of hard-coding format string everywhere I would like to use a

Please share your views on this.

against the DTD... and if by mistake my internet connection goes down,
then code
Won\t work. (meaning, I am using WAS Studio, and it complaints that it
cannot validate the two files... and without tht I cannot build my
webapp..)

Any help?

Regards
marco

retrieve hidden fields value after validation error

[Johannes Wolfgang Woger]

Hi, 

I have a small form, with some strings and some numbers to be inserted.

Strings are validated to be required and numbers have to be integer.

 

There is a hidden field:

 



 

A   shows that its value is not present anymore

after a validation error (after error messages are shown).

 

Where does the value go, and what can I do to retrieve the value of the
select field?

Set to "true" if a redirect instruction should be issued to the user-agent so 
that a new request is issued for this forward's resource. If true, 
RequestDispatcher.Redirect is called. If "false", RequestDispatcher.forward is 
called instead. [false]. 

 

The culprit is redirect=true - check the definition above
