Urgent help needed : Printing Jasper Reports

[Meenakshi Singh]

hi all,

I have to print a report(which I have created using jasper report). I m
setting the content type as
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");

& then writing the jasper print object on the servlet output stream object.
however when I try to execute this, it gives me a dialog box with the file
name as unknown type.

Plz help as to how can I get my report printed thru jasper.
Code samples would be of gr8 help if anybody has that & can share them.

Thanks & Regards,
Meenakshi.

Instead of the format itself, you can specify a key into your
application resource files:




In your resource files, define the format you want to use for that locale:
in example.properties (default for Aus?):
format.date=dd/MM/

in example_en_US.properties:
format.date=MM/dd/

The binary download for FormDef includes locale.war which demonstrates
this capability.

[Yujun Liang]

Hubert,

Good morning! ( Since I am sending it from Australia.)

I am reading the document on formDef, it is such a nice plugin so why don't
you incorporate it into Struts? It will make project much productive.

Question for you,
 Property type global converters

 Property type global converters are applied to all fields of a certain
type. An example of this would be declaring the Date converter that's
declared to handle Date fields.







How can I convert an input from user to the Date field base on the Locale?
I mean the locale is a varible during the session and conversion can
handle multiple locales.
Sorry for asking this, but in a locale aware web application, the
input is based on Locale

For example, in US, enter 10/12/2005 it will be converted to October
12, 2005 and this is December 10, 2005
if the locale is Australia. How the global converter handles this?

Thanks for your time.

Regards

Re: [shale][clay] CSS style classes on substituted elements

Ah, Ryan beat me to the answer.  Figures, symbols was his idea anyway.




--- Begin Message ---
I believe that currently if the html attribute is not also an attribute on
the underlying component, then the html attribute will be treated as a
symbol.
 So, in this case if userNameMessage is actually a h:message, then
 
username error message

 would produce ... in both the designer and
developer views.
 On the other hand if you wanted to utilize the new symbol functionality.
You would change
your clay-config.xml to add the following:

 Then you could just use
 
username error message

 in the html and still get the proper output in both designer and developer
views.

That makes sense to me ... all the JSF standarfd components (and I suspect
lots of third party ones) use the "styleClass" --> "class" trick, so this
will fix 'em all.

In addition, any HTML element can be bound to a component using the jsfid.  
Implicit mappings can be overridden by providing a jsfid binding in the html.  
The reserved "ignore" jsfid can also be use to ignore the implied mapping.  
This would be handy for J2EE form authentication. 



 
 
   
   

Another recent change made any HTML attribute that is not mapped to a bound 
component attribute a symbol.  Symbols allow you to change a component 
definition without extending it.   For example the html attribute "class" is 
not defined in the "usernameMessage" class so it becomes a symbol.  The 
attribute value of "styleClass" is replaced with the value of the symbol.

HTML:

 username error message


XML:

The mapping between the HTML elements to the JSF component is now direct.  We 
talked about creating a pluggable mapper similar to the ViewController to 
managed bean name but didn't get it done.

Re: [shale][clay] CSS style classes on substituted elements

[Dan Turkenkopf]

Beyond the drama of the demo, I would definitely like to see Clay work
the way you suggest.  If the CSS styles are picked up from the span
tag, then I can maintain the separation between UI designer and
developer.  If the style needs to be specified in the
clay-config.html, then I need to have my developers worrying about the
look and feel - which is what I'm trying to avoid by using Clay in the
first place.

[shale][clay] CSS style classes on substituted elements

[Craig McClanahan]

As part of my JavaOne session on Shale, I demo'd the fact that Clay lets you
have two different views of the page:

Designer view: http://localhost:8080/myapp/login.html

Developer view: http://localhost:8080/myapp/login.faces

To demonstrate that Clay was actually parsing the HTML template, in
login.html I changed:


username error message


to the following instead ("errors" is a CSS style class that turns the text
red):


username error message


When you redisplay the designer view, this does indeed show a change in
behavior -- the "username error message" string shows up in red. However, if
you redisplay the developer view and then try to enter an invalid
username/password, the text still comes up in black. One thing I noticed, in
the emitted HTML markup for the developer view, the error message string is
*not* surrounded by a

Do you want to update table only, and you page has other
data/controls? Then you need Ajax.

Also, try to delete an item from your table, it will forward you to
the table. Then reload the page you just received. Doesn't it want to
delete the same row that you just deleted?

Yep. Wasn't so earlier, but according to the author the

Spring (the former obviously did not). May go away.


In the online samples each page has unique URL, so after going three
pages forward one needs to click Back button three times to return

Nice :-) Don't know if eXtremeTable can do the same. Of
course, you can also specify an URL attribute (is that
what you mean?) which is a necessity with Tiles anyway.
Grid navigation itself is handled via parameters; don't
know how DisplayTag handles this from memory. Anyhow,
I've never really missed the single location thing.
Depends on the scenario, of course :-)


For an example of how a single location works, see MailReader online
demo here: http://www.superinterface.com/mailreader


Registration bravely accepts password 'a', but complains
it's too short at logon. Odd. Shouldn't it be the other
way round? At least, the user account is kind of useless
afterwards. May also go away :-)


Log In as "user"/"pass" and select "Manage Subscriptions".
Subscriptions are displayed in four in a page. You can add, edit or
delete subscriptions or flip pages, and you still will stay on the
same location, see address bar in your browser. If you click Back
button, you will _immediately_ return to main menu, you do not need to
go through all subscriptions you viewed or edited.


Our general UI policy is that if the user clicks the browser 'back'
button, he should see the last page he visited, which usually is
the last result page from the datagrid. If he wants to 'bail out',
we provide a navigation menu for such cases (Tiles be thanked).
Generally, I don't like the 'back' button in web apps too much,
in particular in connection with forms. YMMV.


This particular table was created with Struts-EL tags; with DisplayTag
it would be twice smaller and much cleaner in a JSP code.


DisplayTag is fine, eXtremeTable is fine too. We chose it
because it sports quite a lot of very useful features, it
works, it's easy to use and well-designed. There's a third
component available from sf.net named ValueListHandler or
so; Matt Raible has an article about eXtremeTable (plus some
demos) on his site where IIRC it was mentioned somewhere. A
fourth one would be the datagrid component from the Apache
taglib site, but it falls back when compared to the other
options and I doubt too many people use it for production
sites.

For the record, 'Commons Validator' is the general-purpose validation

struts download action

[sudip shrestha]

I have a struts action that downloads binary files from the database: e.g.:
/actions/download.do?fileId=xxx, etc
So, whenever users download any type of file with any id, the name of the
file displayed on any browser is "download.do",
is it possible to set something in the response, so that I can supply the
name of the file which the browser displays to the user so that it displays
such as xxx.pdf instead of download.do.

You don't want to come up with a specific date, do you? 
Well I guess everyone understands this because we all were missing promisied
target dates in our development life I guess :-)
But on the other hand that's what the people want to know, WHEN can I have
it? (I have to make a presentation about shale)

As far as I'm concerned, the feature work I wanted to see for a
1.0.0release is complete -- it's primarily a matter of being
in-country long
enough to go through the release process. I've also got some
back-of-the-envelope roadmap notes that I need to put up on the wiki talking
about future feature directions.

As far as releases themselves go, the thinking is to use the same release
model that Struts 1.x (and other projects like Tomcat) do ... an
x.y.zrelease that is not pre-graded with a quality moniker (alpha,
beta, general
release), followed by a chance to get feedback and retroactively vote (on
the dev list) on a grade. That being said, I would *not* assume 1.0.0 would
be anything other than an alpha. This is not necessarily an issue about
quality, it's more about API stability. I don't want to lock down quite
everything yet, until people have had a chance to try things out.

That being said, one habit I want to follow in Shale is provide feedback to
developers on what expectations they *should* have about API stability in
individual packages. This information is summarized in the Package Overview
page for the core library:

http://people.apache.org/~craigmcc/shale-core-javadocs/overview-summary.html

Along with an indication of whether the functionality in that package is
targeted at application developers, or at people who want to extend the
framework itself.

RE: Commons Validator or Struts Validator?

[bsimonin]

WellI am not a Struts expert yetbut according the book "Struts The 
Complete Reference" Chapter 6 on page 91 a guy named David Winterfeldt created 
the Validator framework as a third party add-on to Struts.  Validator was later 
integrated into the core Struts code base and has since been detached from 
Struts and is now a stand-alone Jakarta Commons Project that can be used with 
or without Struts.  Although Validator is an independant framework again, 
Struts still comes packaged with it and it is seamlessly integrated.

Okay, I see your point.  It's to support transitioning existing form beans.

That was the idea. If FormDef could somehow pull my definitions from
struts-config.xml or, which is much better, from configured Java
objects, I would not have to redefine the properties in FormDef again.
This is a long shot, so I can live without that. But at this moment I
cannot use resettable properties in FormDef even if I patched my copy
of Struts myself, because you need to explicitly add support for these
properties.

If you could reuse beans already configured in struts-config.xml and
if you could read whatever properties are there transparently, you
would not even have to make a change. But currently I should wait
until you add resettable properties into Formdef explicitly. Long
wat.

I guess what I can do now is create a small actionform just with
reset() method in it, like Craig advised me. Should work, right?

[OT] Calendar/date control?

[Scott Vickery]

Hello,

First off, a quick introduction.  I am new to Struts.  Actually, I have
just now gotten back to Java and web programming after a long (and
unfortunate) absence.  I do have a fair amount of experience in both,
so, am not too concerned about picking it back up.  But, I do have a
fair amount of catching up on technologies that have come up in the last
3 years.  Thanks to this list, I have already learned a LOT, and found
most of what I am looking for in terms of tag libraries (i.e. a couple
great looking table components and good looking menu component).

 

I have not found a good date drop-down controls for JSP.  Any ideas on
good ones?

 

Thanks,

Scott

struts-validator.tld question

[Jim Reynolds]

I want to try and use some client-side validation on a project. I have used
the server-side quite a bit in the past. Anyway, I found an example of how
this would work, and the first thing it shows is a taglib include like so:
 '<[EMAIL PROTECTED] uri="/tags/struts-validator" prefix="validator" %>'
  Anyway, I have build all my projects from the "blank" struts war file, and
do not see any validator.tld file anywhere. I am unsure of exactly what I am
looking for here. Could someone give me some guidance on this?

struts-action-intermediate page

[sudip shrestha]

Is it possible to display an intermediate page while struts action is doing
work...e.g. uploading a large file to a ftp serverand at the end of the
action will show the verfication/success page as usual.

RE: wizard-style form and validator

[bsimonin]

Here is one way I did it using LookDispatchAction I am sure there are other 
ways to do this also:

in my "next" section of the LookupDispatchAction I put:


public class AddPSLUserWizardAction extends LookupDispatchAction {

public ActionForward next(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,

HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse 
response)

throws Exception {
 
  WizardForm wizardForm = (WizardForm) form;



if (...something terrible is happening)

return mapping.findForward("badnext");

else 

return mapping.findForward("next");

}

then the badnext will forward to what ever section of the action mappings you 
choose:
 



 
 

 
 




  

   





  
  







  
  
  

I hope this helps.

Parameters parsed from the Multipart request are stored in the

Re: Problem validating multipart form data

[Collin VanDyck]

To be honest, I'm not sure exactly what the Struts framework is using to 
manage the file uploads. I simply create a FormFile member in my 
ActionForm and it gets populated correctly with the uploaded file data.


Is this a parameter I can configure within Struts?  Is there a feasible 
replacement should this be the culprit?
