Re: [OT] Tomcat, JAAS and Kerberos

[Wendy Smoak]

From: "netsql" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
JAAS I think acts a bit like a filter, it just gets called. In your 
web-xml you tell it what url you want secured and somehow map how the 
users see it. Bea site has a good doc on web.xml.


I'm okay with web.xml, it's configuring the Realm that I'm stuck on--  
actually, writing a LoginModule.  and I have been wandering around the JAAS 
tutorials and the Catalina source code for way too long now.  I think I also 
took an accidental side trip into 'JAAS Authorization' which I _don't_ 
need-- just Authentication.


This tutorial might be the key, we'll see... 
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/security/jgss/tutorials/AcnAndAzn.html



(or just go JDBC relms... map JDBC to LDAP :-)


If I had JDBC and/or LDAP, I would be done by now.  One day I will work 
somewhere that has normal systems...

Using Security Filter with JDBCRealm questions

[C.F. Scheidecker Antunes]

Hello all,

This is my attempt on using SecurityFilter + JDBCRealm for 
Authenticating a Struts Application.
If it works, I will post a simple howto to help other folks with the 
same difficulties on my school webpage.
So I appreciate all the input, opinions and help that anyone can give me 
on the following issues as well as

my configuration so far.

For what I can see on the examples that come bundled with SecurityFilter 
2.0 the Catalina Realm can be declared inside

the securityfilter-config.xml.

Hence If I put my database information and use a JDBCRealm it shoud work 
with the database authentication as well.

So if I add the following on my securityfilter-config.xml:

**

Question: Shall I remove  all the  tags from 
my Tomcat server.xml so that they get overriden by this one on the

securityfilter-config.xml? Or will they get overriden no matter what?

Question: Shall I add the Catalina realm adapter on my 
securityfilter-config.xml as well? Say something like the following:


* 
*

I guess this one should be done before the JDBCRealm Realm, correct?


Then specify within the same /WEB-INF/securityfilter-config.xml the 
 tag as follows:


**
   **FORM**
   **Name**
   **
  **/login.jsp**
  **/error.jsp**
   **
 **

Question: What shall I specify on the  tag or shall I leave 
it blank or remove it?


I can then protect my JSPs within the securityfilter-config.xml as follows:

The first one allows users with a Role of a "participant" as well as an 
administrative user with "admin" role to access /participants.jsp.
The second security constraint allows for administrative users only to 
access admin.jsp. Both require SSL by specifing CONFIDENTIAL

on the  user data constraint tag.

*security-constraint>*
   **
 **Participants**
 **/participants.jsp**
   **
   **
 **participant**
   **
   **
 **admin**
   **
   **
 **CONFIDENTIAL**
   **
 **
 
 **

   **
 **Admin**
 **/admin.jsp**
   **
   **
 **admin**
   **
   **
 **CONFIDENTIAL**
   **
 **


Now, regarding the login.jsp. The example on the SecurityFilter uses 
custom Constants from a class org.securityfilter.example.Constants.
This is a class that defines static final String constants, nothing more 
as far as the code shows.

Those are:
LOGIN_FORM_ID. By looking at the class it is a String of value "loginform".
LOGIN_USERNAME_FIELD. It is actually j_username which is what you are 
supposed to use for Container Authentication.

LOGIN_PASSWORD_FIELD = j_password.
LOGIN_REMEMBERME_FIELD = j_rememberme.

Question:
SecurityFilter than expects that you use a login form with the standard 
Container Authentication field names like j_username, j_password. Is 
this correct?


Final question: As far as verifying the user is authorized to access an 
URL based on its security role and profile besides what says in the 
securityfilter-config.xml
shall I use a Servlet Filter to verify the user and then forward he/she 
to a page if he or she does not have access to that URL or JSP page?


Thanks in advance!

C.F.

Re: [OT] Tomcat, JAAS and Kerberos

Wendy,

Check out this article on JAAS with LDAP. I am sure that it might not be 
as hard to use Kerberos. I've seen an example of the userClassNames and 
roleClassNames somewhere this week. Let me see if I find it and I will 
forward it to you.


The article on JAAS is at:

1st answer is I duno.

But...
JAAS I think acts a bit like a filter, it just gets called. In your 
web-xml you tell it what url you want secured and somehow map how the 
users see it. Bea site has a good doc on web.xml.


So I assume that when you get to the secure url, those classes fire and 
see who the users is.

Reload or Update tiles.xml at runtime

[udokrass]

Hi,

how can i reload the tiles.xml?
When i touch the web.xml, the whole Webapplication will be reloaded, so the 
tiles.xml will be reloaded!
But this isnt very useable.
How can i reload the tiles.xml without touching the web.xml and with Java-Code?

Thanks for any advice!

Ted, I can add a little to the link you mentioned.

Several years ago when Struts was young and hip ;) we developed an app
using Struts + Weblogic/EJB (aw, entity beans) + IBM Voice Response
Server (for VoiceXML).

Application has the following features:
* renders regular HTML
* delivers WML output
* delivers voice responses via VoiceXML + voice server (we used IBM
Voiceresponce, but then switched to much smaller and cheaper in-house
VoiceXML browser); gets DTMF input.

We do not use voice recognition or voice generation. We use
pre-recorded voice sequences in sound files, and touch-tone DTMF
input.

For these three categories we have common EJB/business/Struts actions,
but different JSPs. When client hits the application for the first
time, we check "accepts" header and set medium to either WEB, WAP or
IVR. Then startup action forwards to to an actual welcome action
corresponding to the medium.

We have three types of action mappings for each medium, like 
  <-- for html
 <-- for voice xml
 <-- for wap

Each action mapping has its own JSPs which is reasonable since markup
is so different. Each JSP contains links only to actions for its own
medium, so after "welcome" action detects the medium, all interaction
happens within actions and JSPs for a particular medium.

This is a pretty cool application, a lot of stuff there: EJB,
WebLogic, clustering, telephony, sound-processing, WML markup, WML
gateway interaction, VoiceXML markup, VoiceXML browser, ... Yep, this
was a great project.

Tomcat 5 issue

[Duane Rosengartner]

I need to know if Tomcat has a request timeout that can be configured.
Looking into the server.xml, I see timeouts related to database
connections, and session, and something called tcpSelectorTimeout
 
I have a wierd scenario:
Typically, logging massive amounts of data will overburden memory usage
and create OutOfMemory exception in the JVM. We have a situation where
running in DEBUG mode works where ERROR mode does not. This is backwards
to what we are used to seeing. I believe if we up the minutes for our
request timeout, we might be able to alleviate this issue. My hunch is
that queuing the log.write is circumventing the request timeout; by the
time the queue is empty, the objects are built and ready to render the
page. In ERROR mode(log4J), the browser just quits after 2 minutes.
Nothing in the log looks suspicious.

[OT] Struts and XML - Any stories to tell?

[Ted Husted]

A colleague is looking to add VoiceXML capabilities to their Struts
consumer-to-business application.

I don't see any prior references to VoiceXML in the archives, just
this one aside:

* http://www.mail-archive.com/user@struts.apache.org/msg30556.html

I wonder if anyone here has any VoiceXML best practices, war stories,
or gotchas to share, especially relating to Struts or development
tools, or the Jakarta Taglibs Reuseable Dialog Components (RDC).

Re: [Commons-FileUpload]problem with file upload over https using common fileupload

[Laurie Harper]

Do you get the same problem submitting over http instead of https? If so, 
you can use a packet sniffer to see what's actually being submitted to 
figure out what IE's doing wrong. Otherwise you could try writing a filter 
to dump the raw request (the filter would need to keep a copy of the 
request to feed to the rest of the filter chain of course). Or use a 
debugger to step through the multipart handling code in Struts to observe 
what it's reading from the request.


Once you know what the request looks like you should be able to figure out 
if IE is sending bad data or if there's a bug in the request handling 
(which is not likely, but possible).

Re: editing rows

[Laurie Harper]

Of course, if you're happy to push all the data for each row out to the 
browser in the page. Just include all the data for the row you want to edit 
in the request to edit it and construct your edit page accordingly. You'll 
still need a database hit to save the data, of course.


Bear in mind that since you're loading the rows to display them they may 
well be in level 1 or level 2 cache (i.e. requesting the row for edit may 
not actually require a database hit), depending on your persistence 
technology. In that case, you may be better off sending the row ID and 
querying for it, for consistency with pages where the  amount of data 
involved makes it inpractical to avoid this.

You'll need to include a row ID (preferably the primary key column from
the database, but anything that uniquely identifies the row is fine) as
a property in your form bean to use in the URL the 'edit' link submits.
If your table is already wrapped in a form, you can just add a button
(or an input of type 'submit') on each row, using the row ID as the
request parameter value for the button. If not, you can either add a
wrapping form, add a separate form on each row. Alternatively, use a
link instead of a button, which will work whether you have forms on the
page or not.

RE: Struts Plug-in on Tomcat

[Shabada, Gnaneshwer]

Does it matter if I create my WAR file from WSAD environment? My plugin
class just queries the database for a set of results and cache them. Nothing
complex. Atleast if I fail going to the database I should see my log
statements in the log files. Right? See my plugin config code in my
struts-config.xml  and my actual Plug-in class code below. I am not sure if
I am doing anything wrong here. I also have plugins for ValidatorPlugin and
TilesPlugin which work fine. 

Plug in class code:

public void init(ActionServlet servlet, ModuleConfig config)
throws ServletException {

log.info("Initializing state information from persistent
data store");

// Remember our associated configuration and servlet
this.config = config;
this.servlet = servlet;

// get state information
Collection stateList = RegistrationServices.getStateList();


// Make the initialized state list available
servlet.getServletContext().setAttribute(
RegistrationConstants.STATE_KEY,
stateList);

// Put member registration into cache framework during
bootstrapping for fast retrieval
log.info("Getting registration information from persistent
data store and putting it into Cache Framework");

How is it not working? Struts should load plugins exactly the same 
regardless of the container used, so if your plugin is sensitive to the 
deployment environment it's  probably due to something the plugin is 
doing... (or a difference in configuration between deployments of course).

How is it not working? Struts should load plugins exactly the same 
regardless of the container used, so if your plugin is sensitive to the 
deployment environment it's  probably due to something the plugin is 
doing... (or a difference in configuration between deployments of course).

Configuration Question "Struts/webserver"

[Scott Purcell]

Hello,


I created struts appliction on a local box calling it like so:
http://localhost/unique/welcome.do
and so on. I used all struts:html tags in order to handle the context 
("unique"). Even my images use the . so I could show the 
client.


 


I really do not know what is going on, but all links and images are screwed up.

Here is some of the page source. I am using base href, and maybe that is 
messing me up?

Yes, you can use any number of struts-config files; there is a 
servlet init parameter which accepts a comma-separated list.


  config
  
/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/admin/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/approval/struts-config.xml,
...


We have become very comfortable with a structure like the above which 
partitions the application into packages which are roughly analogous 
to use cases, or small sets of use cases.  the root struts-config.xml 
holds things like plugin definitions and global exception handling, 
then each sub-directoried file holds the related action mappings and 
action forms for that package.


The same sub-directory also contains tiles-definition.xml, 
validation.xml, and spring-config.xml files (we use Spring to inject 
dependencies into our controllers).  (Of course, you have to add the 
pointers to these files manually in a few places; some kind of 
autodiscovery would be nice, but it's not that much work...)


Then we have an analogously structured Java package naming for 
controllers and related code:


foo.project.prefix.webui.admin.*
foo.project.prefix.webui.approval.*

and we strictly use action mapping paths that also match this pattern:

/admin/AdminHome.do
/admin/AdminSubtask.do
/approval/ApprovalHome.do
/approval/SubmitApproval.do

and more of the same for JSPs, etc.  We find that it means that even 
someone completely new to a project can zero in on an area of concern 
extremely efficiently.  I think it's one of the reasons that I don't 
really see Struts as nearly as much "XML Hell" as some detractors do.

Re: editing rows

Laurie,

I am also looking into similar thing. Doesn't that call for an extra
database hit. What if the row contains all the possible values that are
to be displayed on the edit page? Is there a way I can just send the
entire row-object instead of the primary key/id?

You'll need to include a row ID (preferably the primary key column from
the database, but anything that uniquely identifies the row is fine) as
a property in your form bean to use in the URL the 'edit' link submits.
If your table is already wrapped in a form, you can just add a button
(or an input of type 'submit') on each row, using the row ID as the
request parameter value for the button. If not, you can either add a
wrapping form, add a separate form on each row. Alternatively, use a
link instead of a button, which will work whether you have forms on the
page or not.

Re: JAAS vs JDBRealm

[Wendy Smoak]

From: "C.F. Scheidecker Antunes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


In order to have the same kind of login functionality within Struts, that
is 2 tables for Users and Roles could I just configure JDBCRealm this same
way? Why would I bother using something like JAAS where I have to
configure the JVM as well?


If JDBCRealm works for you, I don't see any reason why you'd want to use
JAASRealm.

I'm looking at a stack of printouts an inch thick-- this is my second foray 
into JAAS.  I escaped the first time by wrapping the request and overriding 
isUserInRole().  Not this time.


We've licensed a (Struts-based!) third-party webapp that only supports LDAP
authentication.  Of course, we don't have LDAP, we have Kerberos... and
quite inexplicably, (to me,) there is no
org.apache.catalina.realm.KerberosRealm.  I can't believe that _no one_ has
needed this yet.

If things don't fall into place soon, expect an [OT] post in a blatant
attempt to catch the eye of the Catalina expert(s) that I know frequent the
list. ;)

I am using Struts.
I populate a list of objects from tables.
And put this list in a formbean
and list them in a web page as below:



 
 


I want to make all rows editable therefore I am thinking of puting a 
button(edit) at the end of all rows and if clicked show all details in text 
boxes in a new popup.


the question is how can I recognize the clicked row and populate them in a 
new window?


You'll need to include a row ID (preferably the primary key column from the 
database, but anything that uniquely identifies the row is fine) as a 
property in your form bean to use in the URL the 'edit' link submits. If 
your table is already wrapped in a form, you can just add a button (or an 
input of type 'submit') on each row, using the row ID as the request 
parameter value for the button. If not, you can either add a wrapping form, 
add a separate form on each row. Alternatively, use a link instead of a 
button, which will work whether you have forms on the page or not.

if ppl think struts is xml hell, then they won't like xslt or other

Struts Plug-in on Tomcat

[Shabada, Gnaneshwer]

Is there any chance that Struts Plug-in class wouldn't work on Tomcat 5.5.9
server? I have a web application where I wrote a Plugin to cache my results
prior to the page display. I want to run this plug-in during server startup.
I configured my struts-config.xml accordingly. Apparently, the same code
works on Websphere App sever but not on Tomcat. I cannot see my trace
statements in the log files? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I'd back that up, HSQL is definitely worth a look.  Just ensure that you

RE: Use to write special characters?

Oh! Thank you so much. At first, I thought the filter attribute of the bean tag 
is used to filter HTML tags, so I didn't give it a try.

Subject: Use  to write special characters?

Hi everybody,

I have a string s whose value is '' (s contains 2 single quotes). I put
a  tag in a javascript segment of a jsp page with the hope
that when this jsp page is displayed I will have something like

var jan = new Array('', 1, '', 2, 3, 4, '');

But in fact what I get is that all single quotes are changed to #39;. So
the result is

var jan = new Array(#39;#39;, 1, #39;#39;, 2, 3, 4, #39;#39;);

How can I overcome this problem?

RE: Limit length of select box value displayed

[Cadariu, Mihai]

You could restrict the length of the label at generation time, in the JSP.
Conversely you can use the CSS 'width' property on the SELECT tag to set a
desired width.

However, I don't think Struts can help in this problem.

RE: JAAS vs JDBRealm

[Mark Benussi]

Definitely go for JDBCRealm if you can. The only thing you may need to
support is login bad username password messages in struts. No idea how you
do that in JDBCRealm.

The JAAS LoginContext isn't properly supported in Tomcat.

Subject: JAAS vs JDBRealm

Hello all,

A little question. I've wrote a little web app for school with Servlets. 
In my Eclipse Project I've added a context.xml file in order to 
configure JDBCRealm and it worked perfectly as Tomcat 5.x supports this 
kind of thing, adding a context.xml file inside the META-INF/ subdir.

In order to have the same kind of login functionality within Struts, 
that is 2 tables for Users and Roles could I just configure JDBCRealm 
this same way? Why would I bother using something like JAAS where I have 
to configure the JVM as well?

What are the advantages and disadvantages? JDBCRealm seems much easier 
to me.

Thanks for the input,

C.F.
