   , 

 the value is not send  and  this is a result in IE

everything is work right   :  

. I don't see what is different in html  code .  So , how can we directly send

Thanks in advance !

Re: [HELP] Couldn't include tag in onClick in

[Pham Anh Tuan]

Thanks Nandan,
Ex:
loop
   set MESSAGE = "somevalue"
   set MESSAGE to be value of 1 radio button
end loop
If there's 2 or more radio buttons in 1 loop, so we will have two or more 
values for only 1 MESSAGE variable?, so, the last value which is set to 
MESSAGE variable will be the common value for two or more radio buttons? how 
can we set different values for each radio button in 1 loop?

any solution for this case ?

Hello,
Please replace your code with something like this:

var MESSAGE = "" ;


If it does work, I will then explain to you why :)

Re: DownLoad Action - exceptions

[Lucas Bern]

 What I mean is, I have to implement a getStreamInfo method  that returns an 
instance of an implementation of StreamInfo, if during the execution of this 
method some exception is thrown, what to do???

Should I override the "execute" method surrounding a call to "super.execute"
with try catch???
 
I just want to know the best way to do it...

clicks the link that calls your DownloadAction rather than right-click 
and Save As, this should work.

Is that what you meant though, or did I misunderstand the question?

Code:
String pattern = "\\W+";

What am I missing?!?!?! I always get "valid name chosen" 
 Again, I want to allow "MyNAme" and disallow "My Name" or "MyName!" (due to

Just talking about the chain pattern generically... think about trying

Yeah, I see your point.  I'm coming at it from a purely gut instinct

fairly small.

How does the strutsws kit respond to form validation failures?  Is the

keep doing that, or you could use the same model described for the

That's exactly how.  Just like there is a default response template, 
there is a default error template, or you can define your own in 
webservices-config.xml to do something more.  The input is overridden 
with whichever one applies.

I don't know nothing about properness ;-)

Re: sTRUTS 1.3 - chain flow

[Joe Germuska]

I'd suggest adding a preprocessing command which recognizes the 
SOAP header, as Frank described, and instead of forwarding, simply 
sets a key/value pair in the ActionContext which other commands can 
interpret.  Then later, you could extend the PopulateForm class to 
look for the flag and to do its population process based on SOAP 
data instead of request parameters.
Yep, that's what I was talking about in terms of changing things... 
extending classes isn't changing them of course, but it's still not 
the "insert some commands and your done" that I was hoping for.  I 
suppose it's not that bad really, I was just hoping for simple 
insertions into the chain config.
Well, the difference between extending PopulateForm and putting a 
command after it which re-populates in the case of a SOAP request is 
small; the only caveat being that in the add-a-command-after model 
you must do it after or the existing PopulateForm action would 
clobber your efforts -- subclassing eliminates any questions about

Typical caveats apply, but I think that would handle it.  I'm not 
totally sure how I feel about a practice of changing the forward 
config in the process-view chain, but I can't see any other way 
you'd handle it without having to bind your code a lot more to the 
specific fact that it might be used in both ways.
Agreed.  As it stands now, I'm doing some rather dicey things to 
make it all work, specifically I'm thinking of the cloning of the 
ActionMapping and altering it on-the-fly for exception handling. 
So, what you suggest is better in terms of "proper-ness" at least :)

I don't know anything about the logic:redirect tag, but trying to redirect a

doesn't prohibit this behavior, but you are probably going to find browser 
compatibility problems.

The reason is that GET is mainly for indempotent transactions, whereas POST is 
not (although POST is often used for indempotent transactions because of 
disadvantages of GET such as query string length). What if your browser 
submitted your credit card details to a server, that server sent your browser a 
redirect, and your browser just went ahead and sent your credit card details on 
to another server without even asking you for permission?

As I understand it, there is some support for POST redirect in newer browsers, 
so it may be possible, but I would doubt that any browser would do this without 
popping up some sort of alert for the user.

I started looking a little bit at chain and 1.3 a few minutes ago. 
Still not qualified to really comment though :)

The only thing I will say is that I had hoped StrutsWS could be brought 
to 1.3 by just inserting some commands in the chain, but it seems like 
some other commands might have to be altered.  I could be wrong about 
that, I have more to learn before I could say with any certainty.

I'd suggest adding a preprocessing command which recognizes the SOAP 
header, as Frank described, and instead of forwarding, simply sets a 
key/value pair in the ActionContext which other commands can interpret.

"insert some commands and your done" that I was hoping for.  I suppose 
it's not that bad really, I was just hoping for simple insertions into 
the chain config.

I'm curious, how does strutsws deal with the response?  Is it assumed 
that all of these requests are actually only ever serving SOAP clients, 
so that the response is always a SOAP response?  Or is the goal to have 
one action function for both simple HTTP requests as well as SOAP 
requests?  
It is the later.  The idea is that a single Action can transparently be 
called as part of a typical webapp, or by a SOAP client.  In fact, I use 
this in a production app right now in that way... it's a "typical" 
webapp, more or less!, but some parts of it are exposed as Web Services 
for other systems to call on.  Works great!

In it's current form, when the Action completes in the case of a WS 
request, the forward returned is discarded and a new one is used.  The 
forward used can be to the default template (which is a JSP that creates 
a SOAP response from an ActionForm) or one you specify in an optional 
webservices-config.xml, so you can create a more complex SOAP response 
if you need to (the default template has some limitations but generally 
works for relatively simple responses).

If it's the first, then you have nothing else to do; however, 
if you were interested in the second... well, I suppose you could put 
something in after the ExecuteAction stage or at the beginning of the 
process-view chain which consulted the resulting ForwardConfig and, if 
in "SOAP mode", looked up a different ForwardConfig.  Now that you can 
put arbitrary properties in a ForwardConfig, you could even configure it 
in-place:



   
   

Interesting... there is a good argument to be made for doing that 
instead of having the separate webservices-config.xml file... although, 
there are some other things you can specify in that config file as well, 
so there's a reasonable argument for keeping it separate too (might 
clutter up struts-config in a hurry).  The current config file is 
actually optional in any case, you can simply drop the new RP in and the 
plug-in that is required and your Actions can automatically be called by 
SOAP clients (ignoring security restrictions and session requirements). 
 But, rolling it into struts-config is something to think about.

and then this command early in the process-view chain:
public class AdjustForwardConfigForSoap extends ActionCommandBase {
   public boolean execute( ActionContext ctx ) {
   if (ctx.containsKey("SOAPModeFlat")) {
ForwardConfig fc = ctx.getForwardConfig();
String alternatePath = fc.getProperty("SOAP.path");
if (alternatePath == null) throw new IllegalStateException();
ForwardConfig alt = new ForwardConfig();
alt.setPath(alternatePath);
ctx.setForwardConfig(alt);
   }
  }
}
Typical caveats apply, but I think that would handle it.  I'm not 
totally sure how I feel about a practice of changing the forward config 
in the process-view chain, but I can't see any other way you'd handle it 
without having to bind your code a lot more to the specific fact that it 
might be used in both ways.
Agreed.  As it stands now, I'm doing some rather dicey things to make it 
all work, specifically I'm thinking of the cloning of the ActionMapping 
and altering it on-the-fly for exception handling.  So, what you suggest 
is better in terms of "proper-ness" at least :)

well as SOAP requests?  If it's the first, then you have nothing else 
to do; however, if you were interested in the second... well, I 
suppose you could put something in after the ExecuteAction stage or 
at the beginning of the process-view chain which consulted the 
resulting ForwardConfig and, if in "SOAP mode", looked up a different 
ForwardConfig.  Now that you can put arbitrary properties in a 
ForwardConfig, you could even configure it in-place:



   
   

and then this command early in the process-view chain:
public class AdjustForwardConfigForSoap extends ActionCommandBase {
   public boolean execute( ActionContext ctx ) {
   if (ctx.containsKey("SOAPModeFlat")) {
ForwardConfig fc = ctx.getForwardConfig();
String alternatePath = fc.getProperty("SOAP.path");
if (alternatePath == null) throw new IllegalStateException();
ForwardConfig alt = new ForwardConfig();
alt.setPath(alternatePath);
ctx.setForwardConfig(alt);
   }
  }
}
Typical caveats apply, but I think that would handle it.  I'm not 
totally sure how I feel about a practice of changing the forward 
config in the process-view chain, but I can't see any other way you'd 
handle it without having to bind your code a lot more to the specific 
fact that it might be used in both ways.

Re: Template Library? What is it??

[James Mitchell]

The template library, originally developed by David Geary, was sort of a 
launch pad for the Tiles Project.  Cedric or others can verify if I've 
missed anything.

Basically, the template library was not kept around or supported after 1.0 
(Jeez, that seems like ages ago ;).  Tiles is the preferred approach for 
what you are asking about.

So, you can tell your client, yes, you are using "templates".  They are 
obviously basing their statements on old (and I mean REALLY old) 
information.

Hope that helps.

Hi there all
Please forgive the stupid question, but I'm working with a client who is
telling me that I am not using the "template library" in my struts
application.
The application uses struts and tiles, with all the page definitions stored
in a tiles-defs.xml file
I thought the Template Library was an alternative to Tiles, not something
that worked with tiles.
thoughts? Tiles is working super as is... but this question is making me
wonder if I missed something...

Re: [struts-faces] Empty Form in Action

[Markus Koivisto]

Now, the action is executed all right, but the form that is sent to the 
action is completely empty. Every field is null.  Does anyone have any 
idea why this happens and how to fix it?

   

It sounds like you are not returning an ActionForward from your action execute method.  Make sure that you have a forward configured under your action or a global forward.  Returning null will result in a blank page.
 

Yes. Returning a null forward will  result in a blank page. However, 
that's not what's happening. The Action does return a forward. What's 
happening is that the Servlet apparently creates a new ActionForm object 
that is empty instead of using the one tha user filled in. For clarity, 
the action looks something like this:


   
  

public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
   ActionForm form,
   HttpServletRequest request,
   HttpServletResponse response) {
   log.info(((EventForm)form).getDesc());
   return mapping.findForward("success");
}
No matter what the user writes, the log will show that the the string is 
null.

Still a bit miffed.  I'm not sure if it's beanutils that is not copying
the List into the new bean... or if I can't figure out this nested tag. 
I put that code snippet into my JSP and changed the information around
several times and I still don't see the info being printed on my page. 
I guess my next question is... is the JSP code different if I have a
list of beans, as opposed to a single Bean stored in my bean.  I have
the List.  Another OT question is, will beanutils copy a List of Beans
into the new Bean as a List of beans?  i.e.
List school = mgr.getSchoolList(id);

BeanUtils.copyProperties(information,  schools);

Thanks Guys!

Re: DownLoad Action - exceptions

[Frank W. Zammetti]

You mean as far as what the user sees goes?  I wouldn't think you would 
handle it any differently than you would any other exception that might 
happen in an Action.  I personally use the GlobalExceptionHandler 
mechanism in Struts... after the handler writes out some log info and 
such, I forward to a page to display my exception.  As long as the user 
clicks the link that calls your DownloadAction rather than right-click 
and Save As, this should work.

Is that what you meant though, or did I misunderstand the question?

Re: sTRUTS 1.3 - chain flow

[Frank W. Zammetti]

I don't want to comment much, if at all, on the chain-based 
implementation Marco is trying to accomplish because I am frankly not up 
to speed on the 1.3 code base and so am not in a position to comment 
intelligently.  I'm trying to help him off the list as best I can, but 
I'm actually having trouble even before the point he gets to, so I fear 
I haven't, and may not be for a while, much help to Marco.

However, just to level-set as far as the current 1.2.x version goes...
StrutsWS allows an Action to handle Web Service requests (SOAP-based) 
without changing them in any way.  Marco explained it correctly, I'll 
just expand a bit...

You have a new RequestProcessor... in processPreprocess(), it looks for 
the SOAPAction header.  If it isn't there, everything proceeds as 
normal, so non-Web Service requests work as always.

If it *is* present though, regardless of its value, the SOAP message 
(which presumably is the body of the request now) is parsed and a query 
string is created from it.  We then do a forward:

doForward(request.getServletPath() + queryString, request, response);
...so then the RP cycle begins again.  At this point, for all intents 
and purposes, it looks like any other request (with some flags set in 
request attributes so the RP knows to not parse the SOAP message again), 
except that all the parameters are on the query string like a GET rather 
than in the body like a POST.  There are some other WS-specific things 
added to the RP, like cloning the ActionMapping (via an overridden 
processMapping() method) and overriding the input attribute so that we 
can be directed to a proper error handling page, some extra stuff after 
the Action completes to forward to a special JSP that actually renders 
the SOAP-based response, etc.  But really the key point is transforming 
the incoming SOAP-based message to a query string and restarting the 
request cycle.

If you want to take a look, feel free: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/strutsws/

It was always my intent to port StrutsWS to 1.3 when 1.3 was actually 
released, but Marco has taken the bull by the horns because he has a 
need, and I definitely look forward to him getting it working.  I think 
the chain approach is tailor-made for a project like StrutsWS.

That's what the original WSRequstProcessor was doing (Frank, pls comment

RE: Using html:text with java.util.Date property

[Freddy Villalba A.]

Hello Nestor,

Personally, I consider it a good practice - and simpler - to handle dates as
String objects (in the presentation layer, that is). This will save you lots
of server-side-headaches and ease your way, especially when you have to face
internationalization issues (for instance, different date formats).
Formatting your data on the server's side will save you some time,
especially when you present the same data in several places. The only
important implication I'd see with this approach is the impact that it could
have on client-side components that depend on this data (such as calendars),
but then, if those also handle i18n issues, then there shouldn't be such
impact (or it should be minimum).

My humble opinion,
Freddy.

It sounds like you are not returning an ActionForward from your action execute 
method.  Make sure that you have a forward configured under your action or a

public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,

return mapping.findForward("view");

Where are you getting this error, when trying to put your form bean

you'll need to register a converter in order to convert your string date

in the right direction if that's where you are having the trouble, but 
need a bit more info as to where you are running into the problem.

I must admit that I've never looked at the strutsws project, so I may 
have more questions than answers.  Is the idea that the same action 
can respond to a WebServices request as to a browser HTTP request? 
If that's the case, then you shouldn't need to change SelectAction -- 
because the same action can "handle" everything.  However, you may 
need to add in new commands or override existing ones so that by the 
time the Action is executed, the ActionContext has been populated the 
same way, whether the request came from one source or the other. 
Thus, isn't the place to change things more like PopulateActionForm? 
Don't bother with a whole redirect -- if you know how to construct a 
new URL, then you could just as easily create a map and use 
BeanUtils.populate(ActionForm, Map) -- then when the Action operates, 
it has no concern for which method was used to invoke the request. 
It just trusts that the ActionForm has the right data.

Now, I'm not sure how the response works -- so maybe you want one 
action (perhaps in preprocess) which simply sets a flag in the 
ActionContext:

context.put("webService", new Boolean(isWebService(request));

Then any later commands could simply test that context value to know 
when they need to operate in a different way to accommodate the 
differences of web services.

Is this making sense?  Without a better handle on the details of 
strutsws, I won't be much more help, but unfortunately I don't have 
time to make a big study of that right now.

Hi there all
 Please forgive the stupid question, but I'm working with a client who is

 The application uses struts and tiles, with all the page definitions stored

FRIDAY - WebGVO Struts-Groove app - help wanted

[Neil Finlayson]

People,

I'm looking for bug/enhancement assistance on the following Struts app which
is I believe the first J2EE connector to the very cool Microsoft Groove
virtual office.

http://mrquintron.gla.mysterian.com/WebGVO/execute/listWorkspaceSetup

Its built on John Carnell's very nice Struts starter project from that Wrox
book of a couple of years ago.

I hope I haven't broken protocol on the list with this request and by
mentioning Microsoft!!

I don't know if this will solve problems that you have identified above.
If you have time to try this, let me know -- but I'd be afraid that 
if you defined another catalog with the name "struts", it would 
overwrite the base "struts" catalog instead of merging with it.  If 
that's true, then you either must edit the one chain-config.xml which 
defines the catalog named "struts" or we would have to specify a 
different catalog name for this lookup.  Perhaps we should just 
choose "struts.local" or something.  This would allow users to add 
preprocessing behavior without touching the base chain-config.xml, 
although it doesn't address the other case of mixing commands within 
the two main chains -- for the moment, I don't see any road to 
solving that which isn't a lot more work than it's worth, since I 
feel that users who are choosing to change the core chains are "power 
users" -- however, the "preprocessing" seems a bit more appropriate 
to expose to "less powerful" users.

Sorry if I add another question..because there's something that has been
bothering me since I am trying to port my app to 1.3.
App was frank zammetti's strutsws, that allows to call Struts action
using
SOAP requests.
Without going into details, RequestProcessor.preProcess(), if identifies
an incoming XML request, it will extract those parameters and add them
to the URL (e.g. /myAction.do)
If the request was an XML request, it will extract the parameters from
the SOAP request, and produce a new URL /myAction.do?param1=x¶m2=y
I Have extended the SelectAction.getPath(Context ctx) command so that it
does exactly
What the original RequestPreprocessor.preProcess() was doing, so that
the path returned by   getPath(Context ctx) will be
/myAction.do?param1=x¶m2=y).
I don't understand how adding parameters to the request path once the 
Servlet is already processing it could possibly work; does the 
pre-existing code perform a redirect after manipulating the path? 
Furthermore, I would think that, at least in SelectAction, if you 
change the path in that way, it would never find the right Action, 
because the "getPath" method is really just returning a key for the 
map of ActionConfig objects -- and changing the key would result in a 
failed lookup.

I must admit that I've never looked at the strutsws project, so I may 
have more questions than answers.  Is the idea that the same action 
can respond to a WebServices request as to a browser HTTP request? 
If that's the case, then you shouldn't need to change SelectAction -- 
because the same action can "handle" everything.  However, you may 
need to add in new commands or override existing ones so that by the 
time the Action is executed, the ActionContext has been populated the 
same way, whether the request came from one source or the other. 
Thus, isn't the place to change things more like PopulateActionForm? 
Don't bother with a whole redirect -- if you know how to construct a 
new URL, then you could just as easily create a map and use 
BeanUtils.populate(ActionForm, Map) -- then when the Action operates, 
it has no concern for which method was used to invoke the request. 
It just trusts that the ActionForm has the right data.

Now, I'm not sure how the response works -- so maybe you want one 
action (perhaps in preprocess) which simply sets a flag in the 
ActionContext:

context.put("webService", new Boolean(isWebService(request));
Then any later commands could simply test that context value to know 
when they need to operate in a different way to accommodate the 
differences of web services.

Is this making sense?  Without a better handle on the details of 
strutsws, I won't be much more help, but unfortunately I don't have 
time to make a big study of that right now.


But for some reasons, when the flow arrives to my ValidateActionForm

Re: Easy form populate question for gurus

[Randy Kennedy]

Here is a snippet from my initializing action before it goes to the form 
view:

...
   LazyValidatorForm ppForm = (LazyValidatorForm)form;
   ProtectedPersonLocal ppl = null;
   ProtectedPersonDTO dto = null;
   String sid = null;
  
   sid = request.getParameter("sid");
  
   ppl = 
(ProtectedPersonLocal)EJBHelper.getLocalInstance(ProtectedPersonLocalHome.JNDI_NAME);
   dto = ppl.getProtectedPersonBySid(sid);
   BeanUtils.copyProperties(ppForm, dto);


The values in question are java.lang.String objects.  Should be basic 
stuff right?  I stepped through the debugger, and the LazyValidatorForm 
object is being set correctly for the null strings from my VO; however, 
when it comes to displaying the form for editing, the "null" fields 
contain an object reference like [EMAIL PROTECTED]  If I update 
the form with any type of text values, it'll show correctly the next 
time that I go to update the data.  It's only happening when there are 
null values involved.

yep, I have noticed it :-)

What the original RequestPreprocessor.preProcess() was doing, so that
the path returned by   getPath(Context ctx) will be
/myAction.do?param1=x¶m2=y).

But for some reasons, when the flow arrives to my ValidateActionForm
subclass (I have extended it to see what was happening) the two
parameters for the action form are still null.

If instead the request  is not a SOAP request, the chain works as
normal, and it works just fine (forms get populated & action gets
executed).

So, I think I am missing one point (or I am not overriding the proper
methods).

Could you tell me what happens after SelectAction.getPath() gets
called? Where does the request go?  
Because if I can find the part of the code that gets request parameters
and populate the form, maybe I can understand what's going on..

If it's not clear, I can mail you my class privately

[struts-faces] Empty Form in Action

[Markus Koivisto]

Hi! I converted a page from struts to jsf, and I'm running to no end of 
problems using it.

I previously posted a question about getting LookupDispatchActions to 
work. Since I received no replies and couldn't figure it out for myself, 
I made a new action that is specific to this page.

Now the page is nothing special, jsut a lof of text-fields and a submit 
button.  So part of it looks like this:

 
   Start of Problem
  
   



In the struts-config file, the action maps an anctionform with the name 
"equipment" to the "/event" action.
Now, the action is executed all right, but the form that is sent to the 
action is completely empty. Every field is null.  Does anyone have any 
idea why this happens and how to fix it?

Besides, I can't execute any action when I access the page 
"event.faces". When I enter event.faces into the address bar, the page 
loads correctly, but the action is not performed. When I enter event.do 
into the address bar, I land on the event page and the event is executed 
when the form is submitted.

RE: JSTL and Struts together

If you look in the "contrib" folder of the Struts distribution, you'll
find the "struts-el" distribution.  This provides a taglib that just
wraps the Struts tag library so that all tag attributes are passed
through the JSTL EL engine, so you could do the following:

<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-html-el" prefix="html"/>

Nested Beans

[Brandon Mercer]

Hello Everyone,
I've got an easy one, that is stupifying me because of my tiredness. 
I've got a POJO with a List in it.  The List is a list of beans.  In my
JSP page I'm trying to iterate over the list of beans.  Here goes:

public class Information {
private String name = null;
private String addr = null;
private List School = null;


School is a bean that looks like:

public class School {
private String schoolname = null;
private String location = null;
}

Then I set that information in the session:
session.setAttribute("information", information);

Each information bean will have a list of schools in it and I'd like to
iterate over that list on the JSP page but I'm not sure how far I am
from the truth!  :-P  Right now I've got:

ActionErrors & ActionMessages bif problem

[Vinicius Caldeira Carvalho]

Hello there! I'm really, really confused with this. Being a struts user 
for a quite some time, I must say, it's a great framework but its 
warning system sux big time.
Here's my problem:

I have 2 types of errors in my system (general are displayed on top of 
page, detailed in front of each property)

So this is a typical piece of code:
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
errors.add("org.struts.action.ERROR",new ActionMessage("general.error"); 
//this shall be displayed on top

errors.add("invalidUser", newActionMessage("user.invalid"));
saveErrors(errors,request);
so here's my jsp :

   
  
   


and then

Well this works for this case, but when my ValidtorForm puts messages to 
the error stack they are not displayed.
So I cameup with this stupid idea :


the code in front of the text field remains the same. And now, I've got 
the invalid username error displayed twice ...

I've got on a dead end. How can I combine ValidatorForm errors + my 
custom errors messages?

This issue is causing a really big problem.
Best regards
Vinicius

Re: JSTL and Struts together

[Hubert Rabago]

Suresh, I would recommend you still use "html" as prefix instead of
"html-el".  This way, when you switch to a web container that supports
EL and decide to drop the struts-el.jar, you can just modify your <%@
taglib %> declaration to reconfigure (or, depending on how configure
tags, just your web.xml file).

Of course there's nothing wrong with using the "html-el" prefix, but I
prefer sticking with the usual prefixes.

RE: sTRUTS 1.3 - chain flow

[Joe Germuska]

No, rather than changing LookupCommand, you would put your logic into 
one or more classes that are clean implementations of Command and 
configure in a catalog with a name so that the existing lookup 
command would find them -- either put them in catalog "struts"  under 
the name "servlet-standard-preprocess" or change the configuration of 
the lookup command to find them:
  
catalogName="*your catalog*"
   name="*your command name*"
   optional="true"/>

You shouldn't need to change the behavior of LookupCommand itself -- 
you just need to give it the right information to do its job.

As an aside, I think reveals an unfortunate (though minor) 
shortcoming of the basic chain model: either way, you must edit the 
struts chain-config.xml in order to use this behavior.  I would 
prefer if there were a way for users to register their preprocessing 
command without having to extract the chain-config and edit it.  That 
in itself isn't so bad, but it also makes it harder to track future 
changes in the chain-config.xml as distributed and integrate your 
local details with newer versions.  It almost calls for an AOP-like 
configuration realm.

Also, to clarify:
And so, I will need to replace this entry in chain-config.xml

with

This  element is just a bit of syntactic sugar that Craig 
came up with in the chain-config digesting process that allows you to 
do this once and then later have simpler configuration, say for 
example if you use a given command frequently.  It's comparable to 
the  tag in Ant.  But again, the whole intention of the 
LookupCommand is that instead of changing its behavior, you point it 
at the other commands which you want executed.

If you changed the behavior of 
org.apache.commons.chain.generic.LookupCommand, you would impact 
Struts in each of the places where it has a  element -- 
looking up the preprocessing command, looking up the process-action 
chain, and looking up the process-view chain.  That's probably not 
what you want.

Re: Opening a Form in a New Window - Help!

hey there
 What meant was that I wanted to open a new browser that had these options 
set:

so that it isnt just another same size browser with tiny help text in it.

Re: set-property?

[Hubert Rabago]

The  element is used to set properties when using custom
configuration objects.  For your particular example, check the custom
ActionMapping configuration object declared in the 
tag.

The /WEB-INF/struts-config.xml that comes with struts-examples.war
illustrates this:

   





  

If you look at the CustomActionMapping source code, you'll see it has
an "example" property with accessors.  You can access this value in
your action via the ActionMapping parameter provided to the execute()
method:

public ActionForward execute(
ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception {

CustomActionMapping cam = (CustomActionMapping) mapping;
String example = cam.getExample();
...

}

The struts-examples.war app comes with the Struts binary distribution.
 (The war itself includes its source.)  It shows other config elements
(form-bean, forward) using arbitrary properties as well.


Note that starting with Struts 1.3, you can provide arbitrary
properties to configuration elements without requiring a custom
object.  This is done by using the key attribute:



Then in the action:

String example = mapping.getProperty("example");

Re: Easy form populate question for gurus

[Hubert Rabago]

Please provide more information.  How is your form configured/written?
 Are there "initial" values?  What is the type of the data from which
you're copying a value?

RE: Easy form populate question for gurus

[Mark Benussi]

If your Database values are null then the corresponding Object should be
null and not an Object Reference.

Make sure when you read a ResultSet you call

Integer column = null;

int tmpColumn = results.getInteger("COLUMN");
if(!results.wasNull()) {
// I think it is wasNull(). You don't need to worry about it with
Strings.
column = new Integer(tmpColumn);
}

// Assuming column was the property you were attempting to populate your
form with using BeanUtils.

I placed a method in my DBHelper for all the data type gets to avoid
duplicating all this code.

Sure. Just add <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/css" %> on top  
in the file 'css/TEST.jsp'. You could skip the language part if you like...

RE: sTRUTS 1.3 - chain flow

[Marco Mistroni]

Hello Joe,
I have read in a sample chain-config.xml that I have downloaded,
That RequestProcessor.processPreprocess maps now to  'LookupCommand with
optional="true"'

Does that mean that, If in my webapp my
RequestProcessor.processPreProcess was doing some logic, now I have to
put that logic into a
Class that extends LookUpCommand?

And so, I will need to replace this entry in chain-config.xml 


with

RE: Can't Undeploy Struts Applications

+1. Same here,

For me struts-applications dont get re-deployed because the jar -
commons-digester.jar is still locked.

Donot think its a tomcat problem, coz I am using a different Servlet engine.

Subject: Can't Undeploy Struts Applications


Is this a bug?



So, I deploy the struts-blank webapp to my webapps directory under tomcat.
Everything works fine.



Then I try to undeploy it under the manager, and it responds the a message,
context undeployed.



But when I do a list under the tomcat manager it is still there.



If I look under the webapps directory, my struts-blank directory is still
there.



I look under the application directory under webapps, and I find that the
commons-digester.jar, commons-validator.jar, and struts.jar are still there.
If I try to delete them, I cannot. My operating complains that these files
are still in use by another application.



I shut down tomcat, and presto, the application is really undeployed.



I actually found this problem working on my own application, and found that
the build script failed to (re) deploy even though I undeployed an
application.



Thus I have two questions:

1)   If an application is not fully undeployed, shouldn't the tomcat
manager complain about it with a message or warning, rather than just ok?

2)   Is there a known issue/bug with tomcat not releasing .jar resources
(specifically the ones mentioned above) of applications being undeployed?



I have searched under bugzilla, and there seems to be a undeploy bug
identified and fixed, but I am not sure if it applies to what I have
identified here or not.



Versions:

Struts 1.2.4

Tomcat: 5.5

J2SE: 5.0



Any Help?!?!?



Warm Regards,



Harry
