Subject: [HELP] Error "...is null or not an object" when using 
Struts+iBatis+DAO ?

Hi all, I need your help :(
Like my subject, I use Struts + iBatis + DAO.
I get error message "document.all.cateInfoFrame is null of not an object" 
but ... my action is done ???

my code line is:
Main.jsp: contains 2 IFrames: 1 called iframe1 (IFrame1.jsp) and 2 called 
cateInfoFrame (IFrame2.jsp)

IFrame1.jsp: name="iframe1" contains code line below:
show category information

IFrame2.jsp: name="cateInfoFrame" is used to show result of  action which 
has path = "category/viewinfo"

When I open main.jsp, I will see two iframes, when I click on the link "show 
category information" in iframe name "iframe1", struts-config will catch the 
action which has the path attribute "category/viewinfo", and this will call 
method name (which I specify via parameter attribute) of bean (which i 
specify via name attribute), after that, the info of category will show in 
"cateInfoFrame".





path="/category/viewinfo"
name="categoryBean"
parameter="categoryInfoByID"
validate="false"
type="com.ibatis.struts.BeanAction">



everything occurs like I want, but IE give me one error message after I had 
clicked the link "show category information", that is 
"document.all.cateInfoFrame is null of not an object", I don't know what 
happens, because, as you see, if there's an error, my action will not 
completed, it means category information will not showed in "cateInfoFrame".

When I change other actions (which don't contains name attribute and 
parameter attribute), like above:


path="/admin/viewaccountinfo"
name=""
scope="request"
type="com.ibatis.struts.BeanAction">



there's no error message ???
So, I think that there's something wrong with my CategoryBean, but in it, my 
public method categoryInfoByID just do one thing is return "success", IE 
continues to give me the same error like above "document.all.cateInfoFrame 
is null or not an object"

plz help me solve my problem :(

Use apache as a http front-end and use mod_rewrite to handle the urls.  This 
works w/o requiring cookies.

We would like to allow our users to have multiple sessions going from 
the same workstation. My first thought was to use URL rewriting to keep the 
sessions straight, but I can not find any way to force URL rewriting at the 
server/container level. It appears that the browser must disable cookies in 
order for URL rewriting kick in. We would prefer not to force our users to 
disable cookies.

So my question is really two parts.

1. Is there a way to enable mulitple sessions from the same workstation 
that does not require using URL rewriting?

2. If URL rewriting is the only alternative, is there a way to 
configure Tomcat to use URL rewriting regardless of whether the browser allows 
cookies or not?

Re: can struts handle a variable number of form fields?

[ori]

To clarify my previous post:

I have a series of identical fields; the quantity varies per user.

For example, if I was keeping track of a user's friends and allowed the user
to edit their friends' names from a list, I would have a series of text
boxes:

friend1,
friend2,
...
friendN

Each text box requires exactly the same validation (required, maxLength,
mask, etc.). Is there any way to dynamically validate only the applicable
fields?

One request might have 5 friend fields while another request might have 10
and so on.

Thanks.

RE: MessageResources in ActionForm

[Nidel, Mike]

To the best of my knowledge, ActionErrors is deprecated
in 1.2. Note that ActionError is NOT deprecated, nor are
ActionMessages or ActionMessage. The API documentation
says to use ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGES instead.

That said, I don't know how you differentiate between
messages and errors if you do that...

Obtaining MessageResources from ExceptionHandler

[Erik Weber]

How can I obtain a reference to a non-default MessageResources instance 
from within the execute method of an ExceptionHandler?

The signature is:
public ActionForward execute(Exception e, ExceptionConfig config, 
ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, 
HttpServletResponse response);

How do I look up the messages resources declared as "FOO_MESSAGES" in 
struts-config.xml?

Thanks,
Erik

RE: MessageResources in ActionForm

[Scott Purcell]

A follow up to this thread.

I built my app using 1.1 and the O'Reilly book. Upon my upgrade, and prior 
threads, I am getting some depreciated warnings when I compile. This seems to 
be the problem:

  ActionError newError =
new ActionError("global.error.login.requiredfield", userNameLabel );
  errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, newError);


It looks like I should starting using messages? I am not quite understanding 
the change. Could someone give me some advice, so I could get these types of 
calls changed to the new 1.2.4 calls?

Thanks,
Scott

RE: locale attribute in

[Smith, Thad]

You can use the getDisplayLanguage in java.util.Locale to do this:

<%= request.getLocale().getDisplayLanguage(request.getLocale) %>

This displays the language of the locale in the locale you specify. If
you don't specify a locale it will use the default locale of the system.

I realize that if I know what language I want to put display it in, I

_really_ need a bean:message tag, but it's far more readable than

RE: Links to external files not in web application

[Smith, Thad]

You can still have an http server on the same machine as your
application server and create a virtual directory that points to the
directory you are creating the reports in.

In other words, let's assume your application is creating the reports in
a file system directory /pdfReports. You can create a virtual directory
in an http servers configuration that points the virtual directory /pdfs
to /pdfReports. So when your application generates a Report_20050328.pdf
file in /pdfReports it can be linked with:

March 28, 2005

This way each time the report is opened (which is done by the browser
and not by your struts app) it is served by the http server and not by
your application server. This will give you much better performance.

If you are trying to detect if this file has been created or not check
out java.io.File.

Thad Smith

But my application is also going to create them.  My app needs to
generate
the PDF and save it off so that it won't need to be generated again
(they
are fairly large, db intensive reports).

Many different people/groups need to access these so I thought that the
first person in would generate it and save it to a common location.
Then,
the next user in would see a link to the PDF instead of re-generating
it.  I
didn't want to put it in a directory under the .war file because if/when
we
upgrade I didn't want to have the possibility of deleting old pdf's.

Are you expecting the application server that runs your Struts
application to serve up these pdf files? If so, this is a no no!
Application servers (and servlet containers) are geared to run with
lower numbers of more processing intensive threads than a simple http
server will.

I would recommend putting your pdf files in a virtual directory that can
be served directly by an http server (which can be on a different
machine than your application server) even if you don't have your
application server sitting behind an http server. Than just use a
standard html anchor tag to link to the pdf documents (no need to use
the struts tags to do this as they are not relevant to your struts
application): 

http://myserver.mydomain.com/pdfs/mypdf.pdf";>Read Me!

Thad Smith

P.S. This is the recommended way of serving up the images of your
application as well.

Please feel free to scold me if I'm missing something obvious but I

think of a way to link to files (specifically pdf's) that have already
been
generated and are sitting in a folder external to any web application.

I've tried to create a symbolic link to the directory inside my web

but
my application doesn't see them.

Am I missing something or is this not as easy as it seems.

Thanks.

I obviously don't know your users, but beware of your expectations for 
this second user. I'll bet they just go ahead and run the report without 
checking first! With my experience, assuming people will do something 
like think ahead is going to cause trouble. Is there any way your app 
could just store a checksum/timestamp and if the second user requests 
it, pull it from a cached folder?

Re: MessageResources in ActionForm

[Hubert Rabago]

It's easy to confuse them, and I check their javadocs each time I use them.

Globals.MESSAGES_KEY gives you access to MessageResources specific to a module.
Globals.MESSAGE_KEY contains the ActionMessages for that request.
Globals.ERROR_KEY contains the ActionErrors for that request.

RE: MessageResources in ActionForm

[Nidel, Mike]

You might want to check Globals.MESSAGES_KEY

although this isn't how I understood the MessageResources to
work, I thought the ActionMessages was stored in the request
under the Global.MESSAGES_KEY and not the MessageResources...

anybody else?

MessageResources in ActionForm

[Scott Purcell]

Hello,
I am trying to obtain a MessageResources object in a ActionForm and I cannot 
figure out how.
 
Prior to the new 1.2.4 struts I used this:
 
MessageResources resources =
  (MessageResources)req.getAttribute( Action.MESSAGES_KEY );
 
But it appears depreciated, or non existant in the action class now.
 
Thanks,

RE: Links to external files not in web application

[Brad Balmer]

But my application is also going to create them.  My app needs to generate
the PDF and save it off so that it won't need to be generated again (they
are fairly large, db intensive reports).

Many different people/groups need to access these so I thought that the
first person in would generate it and save it to a common location.  Then,
the next user in would see a link to the PDF instead of re-generating it.  I
didn't want to put it in a directory under the .war file because if/when we
upgrade I didn't want to have the possibility of deleting old pdf's.

Are you expecting the application server that runs your Struts
application to serve up these pdf files? If so, this is a no no!
Application servers (and servlet containers) are geared to run with
lower numbers of more processing intensive threads than a simple http
server will.

I would recommend putting your pdf files in a virtual directory that can
be served directly by an http server (which can be on a different
machine than your application server) even if you don't have your
application server sitting behind an http server. Than just use a
standard html anchor tag to link to the pdf documents (no need to use
the struts tags to do this as they are not relevant to your struts
application): 

http://myserver.mydomain.com/pdfs/mypdf.pdf";>Read Me!

P.S. This is the recommended way of serving up the images of your
application as well.

I don't really get the index.jsp comparison to unspecified?
You are purposely creating an default handler (index.jsp)  for the root 
of that folder, just as you are purposely creating a method to handle 
Actions without the method parameter (unspecified)

Regardless, the reason I don't like using unspecified is two-fold:
1) The unspecified method is simply vague. Granted, this is by design, 
but in reality 'unspecified' will do 'something' so why not make it 
clear what you are going to do so it's easier for developers to 
quickly pick up on what the method implementation provides
This is what I'm trying to show with the index.jsp example - but you've 
learned a long time ago that if you call upon the root of a folder with 
no filename, index.* will be returned. Granted, this unspecified method 
is nowhere nearly as ingrained as default index.* calls.

. All unspecified does is save you from having to provide a dispatch 
parameter on your front end, which to me doesn't save that much coding 
and instead makes things unclear.
I like this because I have Actions that call other Actions and then need 
to return to the calling Action. Not having to deal with postpending 
'&method=display' and saving only the Action name is cleaner for me.

2) It could potentially lead to some unexpected behavior. What if on a 
page, you happened to forget to provide a dispatch parameter that you 
really intended to have? Your action would still get called and the 
unspecified method would be invoked. This could lead to the 
application working, but not as expected. I'd rather it break right 
away since it couldn't find the appropriate method name.
You are intentionally writing the unspecified method which is pretty 
close to intentionally writing a dispatch method. I could argue that 
what if you called the wrong Dispatch method by mistake? This could also 
lead to the application working, but not as expected.

Granted, other people like the unspecified method, so it's not that 
big of a deal and I like that Struts provides the option for those 
that want to take advantage of it. For me, it's just a matter of 
coding preference.

You're right, it really is a coding preference. For the majority of 
these types of issues, I feel that as long as you are consistent across 
your application, it isn't necessarily wrong or bad.

locale attribute in

[Joe Hertz]

An utter shot in the dark here..

I'm trying to force the printing of language names into their native
languages. That is to say English is "English" and French would be
"francais".

I realize that if I know what language I want to put display it in, I don't
_really_ need a bean:message tag, but it's far more readable than putting
Unicode into the web pages themselves since I do this every where else.

(No, the locale= attribute doesn't take a language parameter. It wants a
session scoped bean with a Locale object).

So is there a way to force a specific language to be used in a
 tag?

Dave,

Very true for the most part. The one case where I have seen the struts
libraries in a common (be it tomcat, jboss, weblogic, etc) directory is
when you want to enforce a certain version across all applications on
the server. Mainly this is in "productized" applications and allows
product support divisions to easier support the application.

Ok,

Well, not sure why this is happening, and I would like to know, I took the jar 
files from the "struts-examples" lib and put them into my tomcat, their sizes 
were different, but it worked.

Now what I downloaded for this was the Struts 1.1 here my my download 
"jakarta-struts-1.1" which I thought was the latest. And I do not know what 
version is in the "struts-examples".

For my own knowledge, does anyone know if the 1.1 is up-to-date or if I should 
be developing with a newer version?

Re: waiting page

[Leon Rosenberg]

J2ee solution? 

How i do it:

executeAction is called first, it puts executing flag into session, starts
the execution process,  and redirects to a wait action

Wait action checks whether the execution is complete and presents a wait
screen, with rotating image, if not. It also contains 
 
so, the browser sends requests to the wait action again.

If the process is finished, waitAction redirects to a successAction or an
errorAction, depending on the results of the process.

Regards
Leon

waiting page

[Carl Smith]

I am trying to develop a waiting page when the submit button is clicked on. The 
waiting page will be simply some dynamic images rotating indicating the process 
on going. When the process behind the scene is done, the waiting page is done 
too.

Do you folks have a J2EE solution? Thanks.

Links to external files not in web application

[Brad Balmer]

Please feel free to scold me if I'm missing something obvious but I can't
think of a way to link to files (specifically pdf's) that have already been
generated and are sitting in a folder external to any web application.

I've tried to create a symbolic link to the directory inside my web
application and then link to them as if they were inside the application but
my application doesn't see them.

Am I missing something or is this not as easy as it seems.

Thanks.

RE: download finished

[Günther Wieser]

how do you send the file to the user? is it going through a servlet, or is
it just "normal file download" through e.g. apache? in the later case, it
will get complicated
easy solution is to serve the file through a servlet, and if your servlet
doesn't get any ioexception during sending the file, and exits normally from
eg. doGet() or doPost(), than the file should've been received by the user's
browser. but there is still a small chance that the user didn't get it if
there is a proxy inbetween, which gets the whole file even if the user
cancels the download. but normaly that shouldn't happen as most proxies do
not cache files, expecially if you set the cache http headers correctly.

kr,
guenther

Hi

I have an application that allows users to download some files. Is it
possible to know if the download finished correctly (if the file was really
received by the user)?

I think that's the one she was referring to, and apparently it was

I call this with: addDevice.do?method=edit
and: addDevice.do?method=update
The param for the first page seems a bit extraneous, is there a way
that DispatchAction can just call a default method if the param isn't
specified? I would like to just call: addDevice.do and have it bring
up the form. I haven't seen mention of this practice or ability in
any docs.
   

Take a look at DispatchAction.unspecified(...)
http://struts.apache.org/api/org/apache/struts/actions/DispatchAction.html
(And just looking ahead:  are you using any JavaScript?  I remember
having trouble with either "method" or "action" as a form element
name.  If you're trying to set the value of one of those as a form
property, it seems that there is confusion between the action and
method attributes of the  tag vs. actual form elements with
those names.)

Re: DispatchAction defaults

[nitin dubey]

That's what I am trying to do in my application.  I
know this works.  You can have the code to load the
form in the same Action as unspecified method.  When
you use the .do directly in URL it will hit the
unspecified method.  Then in the unspecified method
you can pre-populate the action form and then the JSP
can come pre-populated with these fields.

The problem I am facing is my unspecified() is always
giving me a null ActionForm object.

Any solutions ?

URGENT: unspecified() method is having null form

[nitin dubey]

Hello,

I am using DispatchAction for my application.  When I
use the URL
"http://localhost:8080/myapp/admin/main.do"; it
directly hits the unspecified() method first where I
am trying to populate the action form.  The ActionForm
object I am getting in the unspecified() method is
null always.

Anyone who can tell me why is this happening ?  And
can I use the action form itself to store some
different values that are NOT the controls in HTML and
access them in the JSP to display the contents ?  OR
do I have to go for something like domain objects that
I have to put in the session scope and access them in
JSP ?

Please suggest..

Regards,


Nitin Dubey
