[FIRDAY] Re : Is Struts Dying?
The only reason for Struts to improve is keeping Front controller aka web MVC as a cornerstone pattern. The other reason is, that we all love struts just too much to let it die. Btw, is anyone working on improvements of the struts-taglibs (logic and bean)? Regards Leon - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
File Upload enctype
Hello,
I have 2 different issues, which are listed below
(1) To upload a file , is it necessary to specify the
enctype=multipart/form-data. Can Struts handle file upload in another way
when the enctype has not been specified.
(2)
script
function validateDelete()
{
return confirm(Delete Data);
}
/script
html:link action=deleteData name=deleteDataParams scope=page

Delete Data
/html:link
To the validateDelete() Javascript function, I want to pass a java
variable. How do I do it?
Once I pass the variable, my javascript function has to be :
script
function validateDelete(data)
{
return confirm(Delete Data+data);

(JSF question) Checkbox for Each Record in a List and Scroll Bars
I have a list of records to render to a web page. I provide a checkbox to each record in that list for users to make multiple selections. My list of records can be very long. And each record can contain many columns. Therefore, the list will be displayed in a kind of pane with a vertical scroll bar on the right and a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom. How do I put my list in such a pane using JSF? __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Like a lot of journalism nowdays :-(, the subject line (and the thinking behind it) presumes that the real world is binary in its response to changing conditions. That is decidedly not the case -- indeed, I would likely contend that the real world response isn't even responsive to *analog* (versus digital) design analysis -- it's much more fractal than that. (Translation, if you want a short answer that lets you skip the rest of this response -- there is no such thing as a single answer to this kind of question, so it's pretty useless to debate what that answer might be.) I hope we see a version 1.2.8 and a 1.3 soon, but I am sorry to see all the innovation going into Spring (YEAH!) and Shale (YAWN!), with no one really wanting to continue growing the classic framework. Whatever you think of Shale, you're totally naive if you believe nobody cares about Struts Classic -- no matter what the development activity level at any point of time might be. Besides the efforts going into the 1.3 refactoring train, think outside the box for a minute. Even if Struts Classic development stopped *totally*, would that impact the fact that there are *thousands* of existing apps dependent on these APIs. Those apps do not go away simply because some new framework comes along and has cool new ideas. The needs of the developers of those apps need to be paid attention to ... and the Struts community is responding to those needs. Is it viable to evolve Struts Classic into Shale, and mix into the Shale source support for good old Struts? I say it sounds like a good idea to me but I hope there are better ideas than mine, or we'd all be in trouble ;-) Actually, I'm coming to the conclusion that this is not *necessarily* a good idea. The basic ideas that drove the development of Struts were formed a little over five years ago. (OK, to be precise, I typed the original Struts 0.x code into my laptop over a vacation at the Oregon coast in May 2000, much to the chagrin of my wife, but after 31 years together she's started to get the idea of who I am and what I do :-). The world of web development has changed *dramatically* in that amount of time ... so one common viewpoint is that (negatively expressed) Struts Classic is dead. But another viewpoint should be shouldn't the Struts community evolve Struts to take advantage of everything the world has learned since then? If I were a Struts user, I would be *really* unhappy if the Struts developers were not paying attention to what is going on in the world. What happens to Struts itself, however, is only part of a broader picture. The world has definitely come up with some better (and, in some cases *much* better -- think about the fact that this is the very creator of Struts telling you this) ideas. How should the Struts community react? I believe that *all* of the following responses are appropriate: * Continue to maintain and enhance a kind of Struts that is fundamentally backwards compatible, thus protecting the investment people have made in both understanding Struts APIs, and the fact that nobody can afford to convert all their existing apps, all at once, to the greatest thing since sliced bread today. Struts 1.3.x is doing this. * Embrace an integration with new technologies as they emerge, without changing the underlying nature of the platform. Struts has demonstrated that it likes this path -- look at what happened when JSTL 1.0 was released. The new capabilities were leveraged, the existing tags were given a new lease on life (struts-el), and the world got better for Struts users. * Recognize that five years, in Internet time, is an infinity -- eventually, some other technology is going to obsolete you. Given that this is *absolutely certain* to occur, does the Struts community choose to provide to their users a path to take advantage of what has now become possible, or do they act like ostriches and assume everyone should extend Action and ActionForm now until the end of time. With that said, this is my opinion based on observation of the amazing industry progression in the MVC area. I hope the Struts committers aren't burnt out. I love Struts which is why I ask this tough question. I hope I get some good news and be told I am wrong :) As I said at the beginning, the world is not simplistic enough for binary answers like you are right or you are wrong. Yes, Struts Classic is evolving. Yes, there is a way to integrate new mainstream technologies with Struts Classic (the struts-faces integration library). Yes, the Struts community is actively developing (more than one) possible successors to Struts Classic. Given that successors to Struts Classic are *guaranteed* to emerge, would you rather have them come from the Struts community (who might actually care about providing transition paths) or not? Of

Externally, Struts is evolving from a monolithic package into a set of subprojects, with their own release cycles. Internally, Struts is evolving from a framework with a lockstep request gauntlet, to a framework toolkit, that you can adapt and extend anyway you like. Struts does move more slowly than some other projects. Always have, probably always will. But, we tend to attract pragmatic committers with busy careers, and the volunteer hours are few and far between. In five years, we've yet to have anyone work on Struts fulltime. :( I hope we see a version 1.2.8 and a 1.3 soon, but I am sorry to see all the innovation going into Spring (YEAH!) and Shale (YAWN!), with no one really wanting to continue growing the classic framework. A lot of the growth has been outside of the project. For example, Hubert's very cool FormDef extension that manufactures DynaForms from POJO's. Frank's AjaxTags. Michael's Struts Dialog extension. * https://formdef.dev.java.net/ * http://struts.sourceforge.net/ajaxtags/index.html * http://struts.sourceforge.net/strutsdialogs/ In the early days, we were careful to chronicle all of the Struts happenings and extensions on the website, but after awhile, there just got to be too much to report. We probably need a newsletter or something to help keep everyone abreast of new developments, and to help summarize the coolest tools. Is it viable to evolve Struts Classic into Shale, and mix into the Shale source support for good old Struts? I say it sounds like a good idea to me but I hope there are better ideas than mine, or we'd all be in trouble ;-) Personally, I think the underlying problem is that we need more support on the business side of things, so that developers do not become so dependant on the presentation framework. Most of us are still developing with Struts, rather than into Struts. In my own work, we're having great success using Spring and the Commons Chain of Responsibility as the basis of a business layer framework. Once Struts 1.3.x ships, I'd like to publish more best practices applications that demonstration how to minimize dependencies on the presentation layer frameworks. This way, when the next big thing comes along (I doubt that JSF is the end of the line), we won't have to go through this all over again. With that said, this is my opinion based on observation of the amazing industry progression in the MVC area. I hope the Struts committers aren't burnt out. I love Struts which is why I ask this tough question. I hope I get some good news and be told I am wrong :) At the ASF, we expect committers to come and go, and so we make everything a team effort.

For example, scope the very excellent work our latest committer, Wendy Smoaks, has been doing for the web site. * http://svn.apache.org/builds/struts/maven/trunk/site-test/ We hope that by making Struts a collection of focussed subprojects, instead of a monolithic distribution, we can avoid some of the gridlock that afflicts mature projects.

Re: CSS not working with JSF
Just a semi-on-topic aside... I believe the best approach is to use IDs as their name implies: as a unique ID for a given element, and use class to mark the element as using a given CSS class. Unless you know you have a requirement to change a batch of elements together, and its a change that can't be made via CSS (i.e., content changes for a batch of DIVs), then this approach gives you maximum flexibility I believe. That has been my experience anyway. Frank Ivan Rodriguez wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribió: Rick, classes seem to work. Thank You. But the requirement is to use ID. May be I can convince my team.

I knew I was trying to combine to many different things at once
(MyFaces/Shale) but it took Craig to wake me up to realize it and
recommended I go back to starting small. I backed out the Shale stuff
and said let me go back to just MyFaces. By comparing my web.xml with
the MyFaces example web.xml, I realized that I had somehow left out:
!-- Listener, that does all the startup work (configuration, init). --
listener
listener-classorg.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener/listener-class
/listener
What's odd is thte application was sort of working without it. My
navigation rules weren't working without it though. I put back the shale
stuff and now I both are behaving nicely.
Oh well, thanks for all your patience. When I finally get a handle on
this, I'll have a simple MyFaces/Shale app that will be VERY basic that
others will hopefully get some use from when just starting out. I'll try
to write it up in a step-by-step guide at some point.

Re: Struts-Tiles Design question
Dilip, The tiles controller sounds like an interesting way to do it, but I have never used it. I agree with Nels that you should stay away from a JSP implementation of this. I have stretched tiles pretty far as to what it can do conditionally, and I have been very happy with it.

Executing java code w/out forwarding to another page
Hi, I'm not sure if this has been tackled already or it's a feature available to Struts cause I don't think it is normally use. I have all these messages on a webpage and at a certain point in time, I want to abort the generation of these messages so i press an abort button. I would then need some java code to be executed for cleanup. I thought of placing it inside a struts action class, but the problem with that is that in needs a forward page, but I would not want my messages in the the current page to be lost they'll be replaced with the new forward page. Any idea how to get away with these? I've thought of caching them. One way is to pass messages on the request or session objects, which I doubt if it is efficient enough cause there might be a lot of these messages, or is it just ok and it's not really inefficient? I tried returning a null instead of an ActionForward on the Action's execute() method, but the webpage generates an error. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: Executing java code w/out forwarding to another page
When you return null from any Action class execute method, that tells framework not to bother about doing any forward or include or anything. This means you need to handle the response by yourself. Something like... response.setContentType(text/plain); response.getWriter().write(Bingo, you got it.); Since you are not doing anything to handle the response, you will get errors. Like I said in my last mail, you need AJAX to do something without reloading the page.

Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to debug a machine remotely for 10 minutes and set-up a streaming connection. I get all those debug messages through the stream.

Re: Configurable Forms Fields Authorization
Hi, I use a similar method to generate a form, Use a xml file to define the form e.g. form group name=section1 field property=value1 type=text / field property=value2 type=date / I then use a custom tag to parse the xml tag and set the form config within the page context for me to iterate through and display.

Re-use field validations?
Is there any way to define the validation for a common form field once in validation.xml and re-use the validation in other form blocks? This would allow validation.xml to be updated in one place rather than many places, if validation requirements change for a field that is used on many forms. It would also help ensure that I (or others) won't accidentally incorrectly code different validations for the same field on different forms. The benefits will compound if I start writing custom validation routines. I am new to Struts, and this is my first project using it, so I hope I'm not missing something obvious.

Most the committers would suggest that using JSTL is a better way to go, and the volunteers have been relunctant to extend the libraries in ways that overlap with JSTL. But if there are other volunteers ready, willing, and able to maintain the library in the Apache Way, we've had a help wanted sign up for a very long time. * http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsJobJar At one time, we had hoped that all the universe would see the light and migrate to JSTL, but I do know some teams that are quite happy using the original tags.

The first would be using XML entities to setup and reference your re-used validations, something like: DOCTYPE ... [ !ENTITY field1 field name=loginid depends=required... ] ... form ... field1; ... /form (it may take some fiddling with syntax in the entity definition, and using external entities might be easier). The second would be to define custom validation rules that encapsulate the required composition and parameterization under a single name so that everywhere the field is used you'd specify 'depends=my-composite-validation'.

It's what I'm trying to achieve, execute some java code, but it's only through calling a Struts path(then execute() method) that i could think of. --- Martin Gainty [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Who/what is/are generating the messages?

Smart forwarding with different input pages
Hello everyone, I'm working with smart forwarding in my application. I have an action with this mapping in struts-config: action path=/DeterminaColecao type=auge.action.DeterminaAction name=addDelUpdColecaoForm validate=true input=/pages/colecao/colecao.jsp scope=request forward name=add path=/AddColecao.do/ forward name=del path=/DelColecao.do/ forward name=upd path=/UpdColecao.do/ /action The actions for which it forwards are configured like this one: action path=/UpdColecao type=auge.action.UpdColecaoAction name=addDelUpdColecaoForm scope=request validate=true input=/pages/colecao/colecaoDados.jsp forward name=success path=/pages/colecao/colecao.jsp redirect=true/ forward name=error path=/pages/erro.jsp/ /action As you can see, the second action has a different input page. It is because is I have 3 actions to which I will forward and one of them has a different input page. So, when the validator returns me an error, and returns me to the input page specified at DeterminaColecao, and not at the action executed. I tried ommiting the input option at DeterminaColecao, but then it returns me an error instead of using the action input. Is there any way my html:form could call the DeterminaColecao but use the input page of the action to which it forwarded? Thank you. -- Letícia Álvares Barbalho [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is there any way my html:form could call the DeterminaColecao but use the input page of the action to which it forwarded? Thank you. You can't get exactly what you want, since that doesn't fit the processing model. What happens is, your form submits to /DeterminaColecao and, since you have validate=true, validation occurs before your action executes. If validation succeeds, processing proceeds into your action and you can forward to wherever you want. However, if validation fails, the /UpdColecao action doesn't get called. At this point, there's no way for validator to know where your action would have forwarded to had the /DeterminaColecao action executed, so it can only forward to the current (/DeterminaColecao) action's input page. To do what you want (have /DeterminaColecao forward to different input pages depending on what the next action would have been), you will need to override validate() (calling super.validate() to invoke validator) and have your /DeterminaColecao action perform the forwarding when validation fails. Another option you may be able to use would be to turn off validation on the /DeterminaColecao action and rely on validation in each of the actions it forwards to. Since you're not specifying redirect=true on the forwards, the action you forward to will see the same request data as the /DeterminaColecao action and can validate after the forward. That's only an option if you don't mind /DeterminaColecao executing against invalid inputs, though. If that's not acceptable you'll have to use option one.

Count me in :-) -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Ted Husted [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Freitag, 26. August 2005 19:06 An: Struts Users Mailing List Betreff: Re: Struts Taglibs (was ... Dying?) Most the committers would suggest that using JSTL is a better way to go, and the volunteers have been relunctant to extend the libraries in ways that overlap with JSTL. But if there are other volunteers ready, willing, and able to maintain the library in the Apache Way, we've had a help wanted sign up for a very long time. * http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsJobJar At one time, we had hoped that all the universe would see the light and migrate to JSTL, but I do know some teams that are quite happy using the original tags.

Re: Executing java code w/out forwarding to another page
Thanks for pointing out AjaxTags... I think it might indeed be a decent answer in this case. However, I'd like to point out that the Struts-specific version of AjaxTags referenced here is no longer being developed. There is now a non-Struts-specific version which is a part of Java Web Parts (http://javawebparts.sourceforge.net). This version, in addition to not being tied to Struts at all, is more flexible and powerful than the original version. I highly suggest anyone thinking of using this approach look at that version. Just go to the above web site and click on the Javadocs link, then head to the AjaxTags package in the taglib package. The package summary should do a decent job of getting someone familiar with it. It should also be mentioned that there is now a separate AjaxTags project that IS NOT the same as my AjaxTags... the authors of that project were less than cooperative in dealing with the conflicting name, so I now feel obliged to point out and differentiate whenever either is brought up :) Frank Sudhaker Raj wrote: When you return null from any Action class execute method, that tells framework not to bother about doing any forward or include or anything. This means you need to handle the response by yourself. Something like... response.setContentType(text/plain); response.getWriter().write(Bingo, you got it.); Since you are not doing anything to handle the response, you will get errors. Like I said in my last mail, you need AJAX to do something without reloading the page.

Struts Deployment with the Commons jar files - What jar files can be put at the container level?
Does anyone on the list have any recommendations regarding putting the commons-XXX jar files that are deployed with struts at the application server container level instead of at the application level in the WEB-INF/lib directory? I'm interested in doing this in order to save on the memory consumption in the app server. I know that struts.jar cannot be put at the container level. Thanks, Richard __ Do You Yahoo!?

debugging tomcat with eclipse
HI, It would be great if you could give some hints on how to debug tomcat with eclipse. I have tried the following: * Running tomcat with option jpda start and then running a remote java application to debug but doesn't work. * Running the tomcat application with start option. When I run the webapp, the break point is caught in the code, however it doesn't let me evaluate expression/ see the details of variable, saying The selected stack frame must be associated with a java project in the workspace to perform an evaluation. The project is already in eclipse. We are copying the jar file to the tomcat lib folder and then running the tomcat app. Any help / pointers would be useful.

Re: debugging tomcat with eclipse
I'm running Tomcat within Eclipse with the Sysdeo plugin since the dawn of time. As long as you handle your own context definitions (keep a close watch on the occasional xml sysdeo generates) and define the source directories within the Sysdeo general option, you can debug and trace your source perfectly per thread and look at your variables.
