What's in this email?
o Name Change
o August meeting and "Code Night"
o September "Put up or shut up!"


Name change
---

As discussed on our mailing list, we have broadened the scope of our group. 
We are now officially called "The Atlanta Web Developers Users Group"


It just so happens (if you noticed from a few of my cross-posts from 
jbug-atlanta) that I have secured a nice meeting room to host our monthly 
meetings.  The room is equipped with an overhead projector, tables, and 
there is free wireless internet throughout the building.


I would like to invite all of you to our next meeting on July 28, 2005 from 
7PM to 9PM.  I will do my best to provide drinks (Coke, Sprite, bottled 
water, etc) and a light snack (cookies, crackers, etc), but I can't 
guarantee I'll find a sponsor to provide that for us.


Would anyone like to volunteer to pick up the snacks, drinks, and ice if I 
can get a few dollars together?


The topic this month will be an open forum.  In the past we have generally 
had good success with such a forum.  I would like to hear from our members 
about what kinds of new things you are working on.  Perhaps you've got a war 
story to tell.
Maybe you just want to ask about some new technology that you or your 
company is evaluating.


What peaks your interest?
Struts?
JSF?
.Net?
PHP?
Tapestry?
SpringMVC?

Please feel free to arrive as early as 6:30 if you like.  I know I can never 
spend enough time networking.



Next month
--

What's next for August?

   --== - Code Night - ==--

If you've ever wanted to move to the next level of involvement in open 
source development (contributing code), join us for our first ever "Code 
Night".


I will hold the Matrix conference room for 4 hours so we can get down to 
business with what we do best - CODE!


When:  This is still not determined, but will likely be early in August.


Agenda (this is a first pass, it may change)

6:00 PM - 6:50 PM - Setting up your environment.
We will walk through installing each of the following:
- Cygwin
- jdk-1.4.2
- Ant
- Maven
- Eclipse 3.1
- Subversion client

7:00 PM - 7:45 PM - Build it.
- Retrieve the source (your choice) [MyFaces|Struts|Shale|Tapestry|Spring] 
project,

- Configure and build a complete distribution.

8:00 PM - 8:50 PM - To IDE or not to IDE.
- Get your chosen project setup and building in Eclipse.
- Modify something and generate a patch
- Attach the patch to an enhancement ticket.

9:00 PM - 10:00 PM - Open Lab
- If you were not able to complete any of the previous step,
  use this time to finish your tasks or ask any questions you like.

You are welcome to skip any of the initial portions of this class if you are 
already comfortable and ready to go.





September
-
Put up or shut up!

--==|| Web Development Shoot-out ||==-- 


Sponsored by EdgeTech, Inc.

I dare you to put your money where your mouth is. That's right! A 
knock-down, drag-out, no holes barred web development shoot-out. Do you like 
Struts? Do you prefer JSF? Do you think you can make a fully functional web 
application in Tapestry faster then the next team can do it in PHP? Give it 
your best shot baby! Events like this is where the rubber meets the road. So 
Put up or shut up!


When:  September 6, 2005
Where: Currently slated for the Matrix Resources training room,
  but we may quickly overflow that location if this event
  takes off as planned.

Rules:
Time limit: 4 hours
Team limit: 5 people
The Project specification and requirements will be given to the teams all at 
the same time, that's when the clock starts. Your team can use any approach 
to getting the application written and deployed in the least amount of time. 
Don't forget to leave your code flexible to change, because there will be a 
change in requirements at the half way (2 hours) point.


This event requires registration, but is free of charge. The team that 
places 1st will receive an Apple iPod (sorry, just 1) and $50 gift 
certificates for each team member. As more sponsors come on board, the 
prizes may indeed increase in number and value.


All results will be posted online, no whining!

Feel free to use any framework(s) you like, but the final product must meet 
the requirements, and will be scored on functional completeness, creativity, 
and speed.


Stay tuned to this channel for more details in the coming weeks...

RE: Using the form bean

2005-07-08 Thread Kent Boogaart

Thanks Abdullah, I took the JSP 2.0 approach. Didn't realize that was
possible. The  kind of worked but I wasn't able to put the
 inside it (it printed out static text though so it was
obviously working).

Thanks again,

Don't know if this is the reason but you probably want focus="${focus}"

Try using c:if instead of logic:equal, but the cleanest way if you are using
jsp 2.0:

focus="${form.edit ? 'password' : 'userName'}"

Hello,

I'm trying to set focus on the first enabled field in my form. The first
field is disabled if the data is being edited. I thought this would work:












But this complains about "No bean found under attribute key form". The weird
thing is, I use that same bean further down the page without any problem:





If I take out the  code then it works (but doesn't set focus to
the password field when required). What am I doing wrong here?

Re: [OT] Re: Fired???? was...Re: Struts Books Recommendations [OT]

There are people who are taking things way too serious around here.
They fall into two groups. #1 The easily offended #2 The lude and
discourteous. What is funny is often they are one and the same.

My comments have been very light hearted and not intended to offend.
If folks take the lighter comments to heart then they need to relax.
If you have people who are being clearly lude, then we should ignore
them (advice i need to take).

At the same time, what community doesn't have light hearted jest. To
take offense at silly jokes about H1Bs or to go off in a serious rage
on an H1B is silly. Both sides need to take a breath.

People, please, lighten up, lose the profane language and serious
hateful attitudes. We are all here to participate in the Struts
community. That doesn't mean we have to be stuffy. But, it does mean
that we should have an edge of courtesy.

For now I'll refrain from engaging in any off-topic discussions. I
hope that people can take it down a notch and relax, then, maybe, we
can learn struts, have some fun and still be a friendly community.

And perhaps its time to reign in the freedom to cut up a little on
Fridays.  With freedom comes responsibility, and there's been way too
many abuses of that freedom lately (including this thread).

Note that filtering is not a complete answer.  Consider a scenario
where you are subscribed to a list like this from your company email
address, where you have (explicitly or implicitly) agreed to whatever
terms of use your company's IT department imposes on you.  In more
than a few companies, incoming email messages are scanned for
inappropriate content -- and you could be violating the policies even
if you have a personal filter set up so that *you* don't have to read
the messages.  "But I didn't read it" isn't going to be a very useful
defense -- any more than if your mom caught you reading Playboy when
growing up, and you tried "but I didn't look at the pictures, I was
only reading the articles!"

I'd like to point you at a blog written recently by an industry
colleague, who has been observing what's going on here:

http://www.groundside.com/blog/content/DuncanMills/J2EE%20Development/2005/07/08/Respect.html

Even though Duncan works for a company that competes with my employer,
and builds a tool that is competitive with the one I work on, I still
consider him a friend, like many things about his product, and
collaborate with him where possible to improve the overall state of
the industry.  I wholeheartedly subscribe to his comments about
respect, and would like to see a return to the way that the Struts
user list worked (nearly all of the time) until fairly recently --
where respect was the norm.  Today it is not ... and even in jest many
of the comments are innappropriate and embarrasing (to the rest of the
community, for having to be associated with it).

If you're only here for the Friday [OT] humor, then I suggest you find
a different place to cut loose.  The purpose of this list is to answer
user questions about Struts and all its related technologies -- and
you'll sure like how you look on a Google search ten years from now
for your name if you've posted like a mature adult instead of an
immature 8-year-old.

SOLVED! RE: Struts-config.xml Digester endElement problem

2005-07-08 Thread Sher, Allen - BLS CTR

Hubert was correct.

The problem was a wrong value to the "type" attribute of the 
element.
The type or className attributes of a  tag is an ActionFormBean.
An ActionFormBean is used to store definitions of Forms.
It is not an ActionForm itself.

I guess Digester's message "parameter type mismatch" was correct, assuming
that it is complaining that a FormBean should not be used for .
(It would have been better if it made it clearer, though).

This is what I think could be causing your problem:

The type of class you pass for the "type" of "form-beans" is different from
the one you pass to "type" of an individual "form-bean".  You're using the
same class for these; that would cause you problems somewhere, and could be
what you're seeing now.

Re: Validation and Display Question

Sorry, I'm not at my home box and I'm also in a hurry or I would have a better 
answer.

I have always done this the hard way -- using a logic:messagesPresent switch 
beside each field, seeing if a message for that particular property is present, 
highlighting if it is. It does work but it's a lot of typing. In the archives, 
I would say within the last year but perhaps 18 months, is a discussion between 
me and Joe G. about this with code examples. Sorry, I can't remember the thread 
name!

However, I thought I overheard Niall talking about a 1.2.6 addition that 
encapsulated all this in a tag or something?

RE: How to set tiles attribute dynamically?

IMO, the best way to do this is at the Tiles Controller level.
Controllers receive a ComponentContext object which allows you to put
attributes into the tiles scope.  Since it also receives the request
object, you basically end up with something like this:


public class MyController extends ControllerSupport {

public void execute(
ComponentContext tileContext,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response,
ServletContext servletContext)
throws Exception {

tileContext.putAttribute("pageTitle", 
request.getParameter("pageTitle");

}   


}


I'm leaving out the details that go in the tiles-defs file, because I'm
guessing that you already know them.  If not, let me know and maybe I
can provide you with more help.

Re: Validator, sutrts-config and form-property's types

Actually, BeanUtils can convert from String to a variety of Java types; 
Date just doesn't happen to be one of them by default. However, it's 
generally recommended to use String properties in action forms exclusively 
so that invalid user inputs can be re-displayed as entered.


For example, if you ask for a data and the user enters 'Barney', date 
parsing is going to fail wherever it occurs. If the form uses type Date, 
there's no way you can represent the invalid input 'Barney' in the form, so 
you can't redisplay it to the user for correction. Hence use of String 
valued form properties.


If you don't care about round-tripping bad inputs this way, you can always 
register additional converters with BeanUtils to handle the String to X 
conversions you need.

Borislav Sabev wrote:


Hi all,

The problem I'd like to discuss is how Validator works with form 
properties. IMHO there is a contradiction (or maybe I don't know how to 
resolve this problem - in this case, please help me) with types of Form 
properties. The end result is that if I want to use the Validator, all 
my form properties MUST be java.lang.String, otherwise Struts (in fact 
BeanUtils and ConvertorUtils) throws 
org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConversionException. So why should specify 
the type of form properties if Validator so and so doesn't work with any 
other type than java.util.String.

To clarify the problem here is an example:
I have this form:
   
   
   
   

and here is the snippet of my validation.xml file that should check that 
the dates entered are in some special format:

   
   
   
   
   datePattern
   -MM-dd
 
   
   
   
   datePattern
   -MM-dd
 
   

The idea behind this is that I want the parameters that are coming with 
the request, to be "translated" to their expected types once and only once!
So if you try this, you will get 
org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConversionException (thrown from 
RequestProcessor if I remember correctly).


As soon as I set this
   
   
the validator starts to work correctly.
So here I see at least 2 problems:
1. I'm forced again to parse the String properties of the form to proper 
java.util.Date objects (or whatever other type it has to be)
2.  because of  1. ,  my date format string now is in 2 places instead 
of one place i.e. I have a support problem


So IMHO this is a "framework" inconsistency since.
Please tell me if I do something wrong or this is one of "known 
limitations".

[OT] Re: generate image by servlet for large amount of requests

Using a servlet seems reasonable. Whether or not you code will scale 
adequately really depends on how generateMap() is implemented. If it can 
process calls at the rate you anticipate needing you'll be fine. If it 
can't you'll have to optimize it, introduce caching, use client-side 
pre-fetching of image data á la Google Maps, whatever.

is clearly discriminatory
it is also against anti-discrimination law to make fun of minorities.

Alternatively, you could consider population of the chain Context to be 
roughly "application assembly" -- but the commons-chain library doesn't 
really provide much support for setting up a complicated Context.




I know, but even digester lets me assemble objects. And hivemind.



I do wish Struts/Shale/Jakarta/Sun had an unimplemented Dao interfac


Hm.  What would this look like?  Is it just a marker?  The way I write 
my DAOs, there would never really be any useful commonality which could 
be extracted into an interface.




The fact that there is an interface is key.
Then I can change from EJB to iBatis to xyz.

ex:
ArrayList populate(Map args)
boolean insert(Map row)

etc.

Sorry, my mistake, I wanted to write JSF.


It's not really a JSP issue, but a component issue.  In JavaServer
Faces (or Tapestry), the components themselves maintain the string
version of the submitted value so that it can be redisplayed, and also
know how to do the appropriate conversions.  Thus, in a JSF app, the
data you bind to can be of appropriate native types.

Struts 1.x does not have a user interface component model, so the app
has to do all this work itself.

Craig

 

I think that may be I'm misunderstood or at least I didn't set the 
question properly.
If the Validator works correctly only if I use String types for Form 
properties, in this case why it's possible at all I to specify them as a 
type in Struts-Config file? If every time BeanUtils throws this 
ConversionException, then even population of the forms (BEFORE any 
validation) doesn't work properly.  So even if I don't use the 
validation, population works only if I specify Strings, thus no need at 
all the form property types to be customizable at all.

Modularise it and put it out on SourceForge quickly! Make sure that your

That's exactly why I suggested that Struts should 'shrink' - at least 
struts-core should shrink. At the risk of boring the list, I'll just cut 
and paste what I wrote (it disappeared without a reply earlier):

In my humble opinion the struts community has not grasped an opportunity
which would see it compete against .NET and other java frameworks.
Struts should shrink.

I'm thinking of Maven. The most contentious yet inspired point about
Maven is that you just have to follow the 'Maven way' or you won't gain
any advantage over Ant. Yet if you do make that paradigm shift and do
your project the Maven way, the benefits are massive.

Struts should offer a best-of approach, and offer a whole set of
documentation that steers the web developer down that path.

Such a focus during future struts development would allow many
compromises to be thrown out in favour of the more efficient but
limiting choices, which would translate into shorter turn-around times
for struts web-app developers who went along with it.

So Rick, I agree with your opinion, but not with your consequent actions 
(learning .NET) and Michael, I disagree here - choice is not good! Well 
not for newbies.

* You can catch resubmission in the application on server, but a user
still sees POSTDATA message. This message is annoying, it gets in the
way, and a user has to give an answer to a question which he does not
understand, and what he should care less about.

* What if I go back to the search page (which is in your case, is
cached and is not reloaded, or so I presume) and resubmit the same or
even a different query? Token was already removed from the session, so
this would be considered as illegal resubmit.

Using model to check for resubmit data is more robust and intelligent,
than using tokens which know nothing about your data and workflow.
Though tokens are better than nothing, of course.

I think so, too.  I was just looking at the old project I wrote about, and I

Re: Validator, sutrts-config and form-property's types

2005-07-08 Thread Jeff Beal

I think that if Mark Galbreath were still around, he'd reply with
"Validator sucks" or something similar.

Basically, your statements below are all quite correct.  I will add
(in response to Point 1 below) that the BeanUtils library is what
Struts uses internally to copy values from the request to your
ActionForm, and it knows how to convert Strings into other types, like
Date.  I typically use BeanUtils to populate a (well typed) DTO from
my ActionForm once the data in the form has been validated.

Just to add a little bit, all of this is because ActionForms (whether
DynaForms or not) are populated first, then validated.  If you have a
form property with a type other than String, there's always a chance
that incoming parameters can't be converted from String to that type. 
If the incoming request were validated prior to populating the
ActionForm, we could have typed properties on ActionForms.  I believe
this is approximately the approach taken by JSF.

Re: read init parameters in action


I think there are 2 cases:
1. you need a param that is available to the Servlet and is not uniquie 
to any particular Action
   for eample in my application users can uppload images, so after the 
upload I store them in a subfolder in the application. here is how I do it:

   a. this snippet I add in web.xml in  tag
  
   imagesstorage
   store_images
   
   b. here is the code to get the param in one of the 
actions (in fact I do this in one plugin because this path is constant 
all the time, so I read it only on startup)

   StringBuilder path = new StringBuilder();
   
path.append(servlet.getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRealPath("/"));
   
path.append(servlet.getServletConfig().getInitParameter("imagesstorage"));



2. every separate Action needs some initial parameter.
   In this case why do you need to put as an init param? it's enough 
just to have static field in the Action class ...


I hope this is usefull for you.

Borislav




For traditional servlets, you can set init parameters
in the web.xml and read it in a static init method in
servlet class. Can I have similar things for action?
If I need some of these init parameter for my web app,
what is the best way to do it with struts?

Yes, I thought it looked pretty cool as well; note however that I 
found it impossible to find a way to implement that in a Struts 
application.  They provide a basic Struts Action class which is meant 
to help, but it really doesn't play nicely with common Struts 
approaches to form validation and display.  If you choose to use 
Spring WebFlow in a Struts app, you will have to develop a pretty 
good understanding of Spring's model for validation and page display; 
I ultimately decided that I didn't want my application to have two 
substantially different approaches to the same thing, and implemented 
my own simpler webflow mechanism which fit better with the rest of 
the Struts app.

RE: read init parameters in action

2005-07-08 Thread Frank W. Zammetti

You can do similar things in Actions, to a degree... you an do...

String myParamValue = getServlet().getInitParameter("myParamName");

...to get the parameter from within execute().

If you are looking to read things like this only once at startup, you want
to look at a Struts plug-in or, probably better, a context listener.

I think, generally-speaking, people tend to put their application-specific
configuration information into an external file (be it XML or properties,
or something else) and read it in on app startup in one of the two ways I
mentioned.

If you want to go the listener route (which I recommend because its more
portable, i.e., not Struts-specific), have a look at the
AppConfigContextListener component of my Java Web Parts project
(http://javawebparts.sf.net).  Even if you don't use it specifically, it
should serve as a good reference for a context listener.

Buddy, last time I checked, the best Spring Web Flow could do about
Back button is to inform you that you broke the flow by submitting
stale page. It did not prevent you from going back and seeing that
stale page.

Struts Dialogs has WizardAction (not advertised yet, cause I have not
written good docs on it), which makes things much easier on user and
less error-prone:
http://www.superinterface.com/strutsdialog/wizardaction.do  (you are
not signing up for anything, this is just a demo).

What you get:
* Wizard state is stored completely on server, no hidden fields.
* Wizard state always depends on domain model state.
* Wizard view is always synchronized with wizard state.
* Wizard state is an object, and contains model data or refers to it.
* Wizard transition is an object, and can validate itself, taking into
account domain model standing.
* Back, Forward and Refresh buttons are safe to use.
* Error messages are not lost on page refresh.
* A wizard can be reconfigured in runtime.
* Wizard rules are defined completely in Java, no XML configuration
files, no server-side Javascript.
* Wizard rules and domain model integration can be tested using base
JDK classes only, without user interaction.
* Can be used as a component.

You can also check this one:
http://www.superinterface.com/wizard/signupWizard.do
It combines both signup wizard and login control in one easy to use component. 

I need some time to clean things up. Also, I decided that the simplest
way to pursue people to use your stuff is to give them something that
they can use in their projects right away. So, I am going to redesign
my samples, making a real drop-right-in-the-page components out of
them.

Validator, sutrts-config and form-property's types


Hi all,

The problem I'd like to discuss is how Validator works with form 
properties. IMHO there is a contradiction (or maybe I don't know how to 
resolve this problem - in this case, please help me) with types of Form 
properties. The end result is that if I want to use the Validator, all 
my form properties MUST be java.lang.String, otherwise Struts (in fact 
BeanUtils and ConvertorUtils) throws 
org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConversionException. So why should specify 
the type of form properties if Validator so and so doesn't work with any 
other type than java.util.String.

To clarify the problem here is an example:
I have this form:
   
   
   
   

and here is the snippet of my validation.xml file that should check that 
the dates entered are in some special format:

   
   
   
   
   datePattern
   -MM-dd
  
   

   
   
   
   datePattern
   -MM-dd
  
   

   

The idea behind this is that I want the parameters that are coming with 
the request, to be "translated" to their expected types once and only once!
So if you try this, you will get 
org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConversionException (thrown from 
RequestProcessor if I remember correctly).


As soon as I set this
   
   
the validator starts to work correctly.
So here I see at least 2 problems:
1. I'm forced again to parse the String properties of the form to proper 
java.util.Date objects (or whatever other type it has to be)
2.  because of  1. ,  my date format string now is in 2 places instead 
of one place i.e. I have a support problem


So IMHO this is a "framework" inconsistency since.
Please tell me if I do something wrong or this is one of "known 
limitations".

It will sound like a scratched vinil, but I believe that forwarding
from search page to result page is not the right thing to do, because
whenever you refresh result page, you run the search query again. So,
it should be a redirect.

I see the following choices:

* pass search results in request
* pass search results in session
* pass results in session, and navigational info like current page,
first line on page, last line on page, etc. in request.

Result page for search form does not have to be stateful. What do you
expect, if you navigate to result page, typing its location in address
bar? If it does not have to keep previous search results, than as long
as you able to fit everything into request, it probably would be the
best.

If you decide to use redirect and request, action forms or request
object will not help you. You would have to append it manually to URL,
since you cannot simply stick it into request object, it is destroyed
and recreated with each request.

P.S. If you have simple string results, maybe you can use some kind of
hack, sticking results into session under error message key, so after
the results accessed, they are removed by RequestProcessor
automatically?

Did not give this a lot of thought. But this idea seems promising: to
define types/instances/keys of ojects, which would be removed
automatically after accessed.

Re: Database Connection

I suggest not involving Struts at all when it comes to configuration of and 
access to data stores.

Write a ConnectionManager (sounds like you've already got that idea), who will 
be in charge of Connections. In the ConnectionManager's init block or 
constructor, look up your DataSource using a JNDI lookup based on the name you 
used in your container's DataSource configuration file (in Tomcat this would 
typically be your "context.xml" file, which is often called 
".xml"), and cache the reference to the DataSource. Then provide a 
static method (or a instance method on a singleton) for getting connections.

(Please note I didn't proofread this for errors)

DataSource ds;
 . . .
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
Object o = ic.lookup("java:/comp/env/jdbc/MyDataSource");// "MyDataSource" was 
specified in Tomcat file, "foo.xml"
ds = (DataSource) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(DataSource.class, o);
. . .
static getConnection() {
  try {
 return ds.getConnection();
  }
  catch (Exception e) {
//try using DriverManager
  }
  return null;
}

You probably already know all this, it's the same old fashioned J2EE way . . .

I guess I don't understand this.  commons-chain is a run-time process 
(hence the API method "execute").  I suppose you're saying that you 
can set properties on your commands, and thus have an assembled 
application?  But the Digester-based process for instantiating chains 
which is provided with commons-chain is extremely limiting for 
configuring business/service objects.  (It's entirely possible to 
construct commons chains with Spring, actually, but I don't think 
that is what Vic has in mind...)


Alternatively, you could consider population of the chain Context to 
be roughly "application assembly" -- but the commons-chain library 
doesn't really provide much support for setting up a complicated 
Context.



I do wish Struts/Shale/Jakarta/Sun had an unimplemented Dao interface.


Hm.  What would this look like?  Is it just a marker?  The way I 
write my DAOs, there would never really be any useful commonality 
which could be extracted into an interface.


Or are you talking about just the general persistence support that 
Spring provides?


Note that you can use Spring's persistence pieces (both its own 
mapping framework as well as adapters to make IBATIS and Hibernate a 
bit easier to use) without using Spring MVC.


For application assembly, Spring is not complicated at all; the basic 
XML syntax for instantiating beans and relating them to each other is 
about as simple can be, although it can get a bit verbose sometimes.


For Spring MVC, I can't really compare the complexity, because I've 
used it so little.  I found some things confusing, but it's hard for 
me to tell how much of that is because I have Struts ingrained so 
deeply in my brain. Also, I skipped right past Spring's basic MVC to 
trying to use the recently released WebFlow package, and trying to 
use it integrated with Struts, rather than just trying to build 
something from scratch within its own environment.

maps.google.com uses AJAX to update their maps "on the fly"  This allows you to display on the portion of the image that is required on the page.  As you zoom in, out, of move around the map, they use a XML connection to update the map.

+1 as well, and this matches the historical reason that form beans
were invented in the first place.

Form beans are part of the *view* tier, not the model ... their
purpose in life is to represent the server side state of the HTML
elements on a form, even if that state is invalid (i.e. not currently
passing all the validations).  That way, you can reproduce what the
user typed so he or she can fix it, rather than presenting them with a
completely blank screen.  (This is why you generally use string fields
in a form bean).

In a component oriented framework like JSF or Tapestry, you don't need
to worry about keeping track of this state information ... the
components do it for you.  But in Struts it is the application
developer's responsibility to understand the correct design patterns
-- and this is one of the most fundamental principles of how Struts
was designed.

We use Spring as well, but also not for the MVC portions (we use struts).
We use it for the primarily for application assembly and integration with

The AOP  support seems very interesting, but at this point we are only
using that w.r.t transactions.  I am thinking about incorporating it into

I use Spring avidly as an application assembly strategy.  I use it
with Struts, and in the way I use it, it doesn't compare to Struts at
all.

Spring does include a Web MVC toolkit.  I have only passing
familiarity with it.  There are some elegant things about its design,
but it doesn't really fit with how I build webapps, and Spring is
very much designed so that you can take what you like without having
to use the whole thing.

I'll be interested in other responses... I had to make this work in my first
Struts webapp, three years ago (!) now.  I doubt I got it "right," but it
does work.

I have a 'person lookup' that has to be shared across many forms.  Anywhere
there is a text box with an 'add person' button, it has to go off to
resolution, and most importantly, it has to come back and add the selected
person to the right original form.

Struts doesn't have a concept of 'go back where you came from' so I set
request attributes before forwarding to the ResolveName action.  And I do
chain them:
   
   
   


This is the one case where I couldn't get around going from
Action-to-Action, which is (or was, I'm not so sure anymore...) frowned
upon.

In the LookupDispatchAction, which uses userAction to switch methods, I set
request attributes for nameOrId, returnTo, and userAction.

Then ResolveNameAction picks up 'nameOrId' and does its thing, and in the
resulting JSP, I just used a plain old HTML form:
   " method="POST">
   " />
   ...then iterate through the choices...

When the user submits that form, you're back to the original Action.

HTH,

Nope, you shouldnt have to. Setting requestURI="" works just fine for me.

Re: Using struts forms as Value Objects: your opinion?

2005-07-08 Thread Bill Schneider

Well put.  To expand on #2, it's good to confine dependencies on the 
org.apache.struts packages to the presentation layer, and not build a 
Struts dependency into business logic.


Personally I prefer to keep form beans and value objects seperate, for 
two key reasons:


1) form beans generally should consist of String data to facilitate 
round-tripping of invalid inputs. I like to constrain them to a clearly 
defined role of marshaling data 'into' and 'out of' the presentation 
layer, i.e. across the boundary between presentation and application.


2) value objects should use typed interfaces to ensure marshaling to and 
from presentation format (string types) is pushed as far up the 
application stack as possible. This also enables other, potentially 
type-aware, presentation / client tiers to be built on top of the same 
value objects (e.g. for a web-services interface).

Using the form bean

2005-07-08 Thread Kent Boogaart

Hello,

I'm trying to set focus on the first enabled field in my form. The first
field is disabled if the data is being edited. I thought this would work:












But this complains about "No bean found under attribute key form". The weird
thing is, I use that same bean further down the page without any problem:





If I take out the  code then it works (but doesn't set focus to
the password field when required). What am I doing wrong here?

If I go to China or India I understand that am a guest in that country and 
aware that I must not abuse and or break the laws of the country..
Remembering that it is against anti-discrimination law here to denigrate or

Calling someone 'an idiot' based on ANY grouping criteria as you have here 
is clearly discriminatory
In your case I would suggest that you are not Remembering that you are

I am asking is that you and your fellow guests extend the SAME courtesy as I 
a US Citizen would extend if I was working in your country.
That is to respect and obey ALL the laws of my country and that ALSO that 
your words and behaviour should extend respect to ALL of its 
citizens..Remember also that any US Citizen can file a complaint against any 
H1B with the INS so in your case I would caution you to be careful what you 
say from now on.
I will tell you based on your comment that you have clearly stepped over the 
line of appropriateness and should not do so again
I would also state your actions reflect that I consider you to be an 
extremely poor representative of your country and if you worked for me I

You weren't unclear, but Jeff's response was correct. He pointed out that 
your input can be an action, which can then do whatever you need, instead 
of a JSP. You just need to change your action mapping so the 'input' 
attribute names the mapping for your AddProviderAction rather than pointing 
at a JSP directly.

Passing data between action forms

I'm curious to hear what other people are doing regarding the passing of
data between actions. Take for example an advanced search page with
validation, drop down lists, the works. Upon successful validation the
user should flow to a search results page. Assume the results page is
part of something bigger that may require additional server-side
processing.

In the past I have put the search results list on the same action form
as the search criteria and just forwarded to a different JSP from the
same action. There are times when I would prefer to forward to a
different action/form pair, especially if their is potential for
additional processing. I suppose I could put the form in the session
and define a different action that uses the same form to achieve some
modularity, but I would prefer to be able to just hand-off the search
results to a separate action/form pair. Is there an elegant way to do
that in Struts? Am I just trying to make this overly complex?

Re: Paging in DisplayTag


This is dependent on how you have structured you database query.  There are multiple solutions to what you are attempting to do.

1.  Create a query that will return the entire resultset and store that resultset in the session as you metion.  If you are returning an extremely large result set, running the application in a clustered environment with percistant sessions to a database, or have a large number of users, this could prove problematic.  The more you put into the session, the more memory your application will use.  Additionally, if you persist your session, you are requerying each time you mention a session.  This could be a mojor performance hit. Finnally, you are moving a lot of data across the network.  If 90% of the users will find what they need on the first 1 or 2 pages of a resultset, pulling back the data to populate the reset of the menus is a waste of resources.

2.  If all users are going to use the same resultset (ie multipage menuing or a product catalog), this may be a occation for a singleton class with a collection containing the data.  You could refresh this singleton based on a timeframe to insure it remains current.  this will only work for semistatic results.

3.  Implement a fast lane reader pattern.  This will subdivide your SQL results to return only the page that is being displayed using boundry conditions in the SQL or Stored procedure.  This will require a database hit between each page, but if the database is properly indexed and you are using a connection pool, you can still retain very fast performance.

I am sure there are many more ways to address this problem, but these are the three that I have had the most experiance with.  It boils down to ever situation is different and you have to customize your solution based on the data, the business requirement, and the user habits.

This i would agree with.  Fields in BO/VOs have various types. ActionForms
should only get/set strings.

I tend to merge BO,VO,and DAO all into one bean.  I made a self-persistable
base bean (using OJB), and then just add fields with getters/setters.  All
works nicely.  Add any simple logic into the beans.  Stick complex logic in
managers/helpers/services.  I tend to pass these beans straight up to jsps
for pure displaying of stuff, but then use actionforms to edit/submit data.
A big timesaver can be to write a constructor for an action form that
accepts a BO and fills itself from that.

RE: [OT] Recommend a UK Tomcat host

UK2 dedicated linux servers. (uk2.net)
We've got a few of these, and they're cheap and reliable.
Only negative is you have to setup/manage them yourself.  But with linux you
honestly have to do very little.
