Struts DTD - basic question
Hello all, My struts-config.xml looks for the dtd in the Jakarta website: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_2.dtd My validator.xml looks for the dtd in the Jakarta website: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dtds/validator_1_1_3.dtd And so my validator-rules.xml file. When the above site is in some problem and I want to build my web project, I get this message: "Operation timed out: connect:could be due to invalid address". I would like to hold those dtd's locally. So, where should I put them in my web project? Should it be in the "lib" directory with the struts.jar? Thanks Rivka

yes, I m using the correct jars. I have checked all the jars from a working sample which I got from the web. The samples are working fine. I have even tried two simple jsps(a non-struts example).

Re: Is JSF ready?
JSF is more powerful than Struts in many ways. In fact, the original creator of Struts, Craig McClanahan, was the co-spec lead of JSF expert group and he is one of the author of Shale (Struts sub-project aimed at extending JSF). JSF provides all the Struts features, ie. validation, conversion, navigation, messages, ... and all those features are extendable. But JSF dissociates itself from Struts in a lot of areas. First, it is component oriented so it is easier to reuse code between applications and easier to understand. Plus, the components are STATEFUL, they keep their state between request and that is a big advantage of JSF. In Struts, only the forms input controls were stateful and only if your form beans had session scope. Also, JSF provides a fine-grained event model à la Swing compare to the coarse-grained event model of Struts (receive request, do something). Finally, the best part of JSF comes from method and value binding wich allows you to use normal Java Beans for your controller (think of it as a Dispatch Action merged with an Action Form). It so easy to test compare to Struts action and action forms. I have been developping for several years with Struts and I didn't like it (even if it was making things better then using only jsp/servlets). There were so many problems and it was hard to reuse anything from that code. Trust me, if you liked Tapestry (wich is a reliable alternative in my mind), you will probably love JSF. The rough spot of JSF in my opinion is JSP integration wich is in my mind a big mistake but there are some good alternatives out there (Shale Clay and facelet). About Shale, Struts Shale is just a subproject of Struts. It has nothing to do with it, it just shares the user community. Struts is going to stay a classical Action oriented framework while Shale is a framework built around JSF. Shale is kind of an experimental ground to add things that weren't cover by JSF spec. It adds stuff you are used to in Struts. For exemple, with Shale you can have application wide functionnalities like with Struts RequestProcessor. Shale also add page functionalities, ie kind of like when you have an action in Struts wich is responsable to load data before displaying the view. Shale also add the concept of dialog by bringing the Spring Webflow implementation to the JSF world. I haven't tried it yet but seems quite powerful. With Shale, you also have support for Apache commons validators and so client-side validation. Finally, Shale-Clay plug-in allows you to reuse some subview easily and provide you integration with different choice of view technologies (XHTML, XML) to use instead of JSP. Well, that's the best I can say in such a short text but there a lot more then that about JSF. You should start reading to make your own opinion. One advice, there's a lot of FUD spread around JSF right now so try it by yourselft first before listening to other people. But there are good alternatives to JSF. I have not tried all of them but there all several other components frameworks like Tapestry, Echo and Wicky.

Struts, Tiles, and Validator all are distributed with the correct DTDs (as well as several historic versions) packaged in the JAR. If you have the correct DOCTYPE declaration in your XML file, the DTD will be read as a classpath resource rather than over the internet. People generally don't understand that the PUBLIC identifier in the DOCTYPE is literally an identifier. It is an unstructured text string which must exactly match the value which is encoded in the validation Java code. (Well, it looks structured, but the process of identifying the DTD is based on a pure string match.)

I think I missed that part; the suggestions I had are only for running Struts; not for work in an IDE. Eclipse has an XML Catalog (at least 3.1 with the Web Tools installed; I'm not sure where that came in). With that, you can do a similar process -- register a public ID and tell Eclipse where it can find a locally stored copy of that DTD. You can get a copy from the URL (if the server is working) or from a Struts JAR or the SVN repository. For other IDEs, I can't say, but they could all offer similar services.

I'm also trying to decide whether or not to bother, as I'm tending towards much lighter-weight/more agile webapp methodologies these days. JSF seems in some ways like ASP.NET, but that's a very high-level haven't-checked-it-out-much viewpoint. If it can be as rapid as ASP but w/o dealing with any number of Microsoft issues, including technical and philosophical, it could be neat on those bad days J2EE is a requirement.

RE: Is JSF ready?
Frank - When JSF matures and you have looked over it again a few times, but possibly still not had your epiphany. Would you remain happy with the technologies you know now to see you through the seemingly Shale/JSF dominated future of Java web frameworks? I think the question that no-one has asked is what happens if you don't learn and embrace JSF now and get it on your list of skills? Even if you despise it (I have no preference yet), is it not a good move to get familiar with it regardless (if you can)? >From my perspective JSF seems like it is going to become quite a large part of the scene for a while until it is usurped by something greater. As Craig pointed out in a previous post though, as struts has, JSF might dominate for a good 5 years or more and be THE predominate framework that people choose to use just as struts classic has been.

Re: jsp:includes or c:imports of action AND new tag for in struts config
I solved this problem, by using the source of the struts IncludeAction. I hijacked that code and did my List generation before the the RequestDispatcher formward call, so it looks like: Action snippet: ** List menuItems = getMenuItemsList(); req.setAttribute("menuitems", menuItems); RequestDispatcher rd = servlet.getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/jsp/frontend/footer_include.jsp"); // Forward control to the specified resource rd.include(req, res); // Tell the controller servlet that the response has been created return (null); ** So I'm wondering, has anyone ever heard of a proposal to allow for an tag inside an tag in the struts config, to complement the tag? so instead of the above i could just config like this: It would seem like useful functionality and a more clear and struts like solution to the above problem. dave On Mon, 2005-12-12 at 18:12 -0800, David Evans wrote: > Hello all, > > I have a requirement for a dynamically created menu on all pages of a > web site i am creating.

While I'm sure you *can* go off the reservation with JSF as well, it seems like much more of a fight.

I see JSF as being highly desirable for corporate interests, the tool vendors and those that will sell implementations and consulting services and all that, and that worries me. I like the way Struts developed: put it out there with no motivation other than to help people, and let it develop as it will. If JSF had evolved the same way, I'd have one less worry/complaint about it, but as it stands I have to wonder what the real motivation is. Like I said, there isn't much technical points there, it's mostly psychological. However, I don't see those types of objections mattering any less than technical ones. One *should* however be willing to overcome those objections when sufficient reason becomes available, and that's why I continue to keep an open mind. > JSF seems in some ways like ASP.NET, but that's a very high-level > haven't-checked-it-out-much viewpoint.

That is a fairly accurate comparison in terms of the overall approach. That's also one of the reasons tooling is so important for JSF to succeed: once you can build an application as easily as you can in Visual Studio, more people will be on board.

Would you remain happy with the technologies > you know now to see you through the seemingly Shale/JSF dominated future > of > Java web frameworks? The future in my opinion is RIA's, and as yet no one has shown me why JSF is better for this than Struts. I have not personally run into all the supposed limitations of the current model, and I regularly develop highly complex RIA's, that's how I make my living. So, for me, JSF doesn't offer me anything that I absolutely need today. What it *does* offer that is worthwild can be done just as easily with Struts... managed bean support is available through Spring or my own DependencyFilter in Java Web Parts... component-based development can be accomplished any number of ways outside JSF, etc., so on and so forth for virtually every part of JSF. The funny thing is, if you change your approach and mindset about web development just a little bit, then many of the problems JSF seeks to solve go away anyway. When you stop thinking in terms of whole page refreshes and strictly server-side actions, JSF, in my opinion anyway, doesn't offer a whole lot, and you can do all of this with Struts today. Granted, you will have to do more of the work, and that is one area where JSF has a clear advantage, but it is just a doable with JSF as with ultimately, and so I have no worries about the future with or without JSF. I don't know what the future will hold. JSF may win the day on nothing but marketing alone. It has the force of being a "standard", and while not all standards ultimately succeed, it certainly is a leg up on other options. And again, I'm not closed-minded about it... there may come a day when I look back on everything bad I've ever said about JSF and go "what in the BLUE HELL was I thinking?!?". It's hard to envision that day coming to pass, but it could. One thing I know for sure is I'm not going to get to that point based on what others tell me I should think of JSF. If I'm ever a full-blown JSF supporter it will be because I see where it solves problems that can't be solved just as good, or even better, without it. > I think the question that no-one has asked is what happens if you don't > learn and embrace JSF now and get it on your list of skills? > Even if you despise it (I have no preference yet), is it not a good move > to > get familiar with it regardless (if you can)? That's just hedging your bet, and any smart person will be doing that :) That's part of the reason I keep playing with it. Besides, you will be in a much better position to make an intelligent decision either way about it if you are familiar with it. Your opinion may change the more you learn about it too. Some people say the learning curve for JSF is less than for Struts, and I don't think I agree with that. But its a curve worth navigating in any case, just so you can decide for yourself intelligently. >>From my perspective JSF seems like it is going to become quite a large >> part > of the scene for a while until it is usurped by something greater.

Yes, it absolutely could turn out that way. Like I said in another post though, JSF isn't exactly new. So you do have to wonder, if it really was destined to be the next de facto standard in Java web development, as Struts is today, what's taking so long? On that note, JSF 2.0 *does* hold some significant promise. The original spec, from my understanding, had a fairly narrow focus. They just wanted to get the component model right, that was the primary goal. So, there are holes, or maybe more precisely weak spots, in the current spec. Shale addresses many of those areas, and the new spec rev is supposed to do the same thing. For me, I'll be interested to see what 2.0 looks like because it is at that point that JSF might actually start fulfilling some promise for me. Frank > Chris > -Original Message- > From: Frank W.

Re: Is JSF ready?
I don't agree with some of your statements. I know it is possible to implement most of JSF things using Struts but unfortunately you have to do it yourself. For exemple, to use DispatchAction for events like you suggested, you need one different method for each event or use an extra argument to determine the type of event. You may argue that it's not necessary because you just tell the button to go straight to the action. But suppose you need to support more than one type of event having the same treatment but with slight differences, you will have to distinguish the type of events. And if you want the event source, you have to be sure the request contains the necessary values, then extract them and finally interprets them yourself. All this plumbing is supported out of the box with components framework by the abstraction of user events. You don't have to care about this low level stuff. From my experience, it is quite productive. Another exemple, you want a dynamic session-scoped menu in Struts. Unless you use Struts-Menu and learn another *framework*, you need to create a new Action Form to keep all the parameters or you can deal directly with the session object. Again you have to reinvent the wheel or deal with low level stuff, wich in my main increase the risk of errors. With JSF, you just reuse an available component Nothing new to learn except the properties of the component. I don't want to start a Struts vs JSF war but I find JSF or Tapestry just more natural to use because they support higher abstractions. But nowadays C is still used because some people don't like OOP, so you can stay with Struts if you are more confortable with it. The point of my first anwser was give it a try and see if it fit you.

Apologies - Eclipse mailing list??
Hi, aplogies for the OT post, but is anyone here on the eclipse-general or wtp mailing list? I think the signup page is blocked by the admins here, so I can't get the subscribe address, and I'm wondering if any of you guys could mail it to me off-list?

Re: forcing relative urls from struts instead of the absolute urls!
Note that Struts isn't writing absolute URLs. As a webapp developer, you use "context-relative references" that Struts turns into "site-root relative" URLs. Here are examples of each type of reference, just so we are all on the same page: Relative: foo.html Site-root relative: /myapp/foo.html (And the special case of context-relative /foo.html inside an app, which then becomes /myapp/foo.html if you deploy this app with a /myapp context path.) Absolute: http://server.com/bar.html It sounds like your main challenge is that you have requests to a web server that look like http://web.domain.com/foo/bar/me mapped to an app deployed on an app server that you might access directly as http://app.domain.com/me. The app will make site-root relative URLs like /me/foo.html, and the browser will them make a request to the web server like http://web.domain.com/me/foo.html which is not what you want. What is stopping you from deploying the app with a "/foo/bar/me" context, so that it matches the "public" context on the web server? This is almost certainly the easiest solution if you can do it. Alternately, perhaps there is some proxy configuration magic that would work. To be robust, you'd probably need to use a connector (e.g. mod_jk) rather than just using a "dumb" proxy to forward requests, because I think the app server really needs to know the desired context path in order to render the pages with the proper URLs. (The alternative of filtering the response stream after-the-fact in hopes of converting all URLs is a lousy design for many reasons and not an approach I would recommend.) Using context-relative references is really useful. Actions have the same name (path) no matter what page you are working on. Images are always "/img/..." (or whatever) without having to think twice what the request URL was that caused the JSP you are editing to execute (note that the request may not match the JSP file path). And you can choose (and change) the context path at deployment time without breaking anything. However, if you are dead set on using strictly relative references, you may still be able to get it to work. I am pretty sure I have seen work, for instance. Why don't you post a specific example of something that isn't working for you. -Max On Mon, 2005-12-12 at 13:52 -0500, Michael P.

It has the force of being a "standard", and while > not all standards ultimately succeed, it certainly is a leg up on other I would argue that with Java (J2EE specifically) "standards" have largely just "emerged". Think of all the examples. Tomcat Ant Struts JUnit Hibernate That's, by and large, the "standard" J2EE toolkit. And by that I mean that while we may have WebSphere, Tapestry, Maven, EJBs, etc. there's a certain concensus out there and the tools in the first list are what have the mindshare now. So my point of interest is this. JSF, from what I'm seeing here (especially when the actual developers of Struts talk about their reasons for jumping to JSF) and reading elsewhere is actually succeeding IN SPITE of the fact that it's not sitting in the OpenSource non-standard seat, as Tapestry is. I find this interesting. It was bound to happen eventually, that one of Sun's reference implementations would actually become a standard. I know, EJB is a standard. But look how many people have been abandoning that in favor of more lightweight solutions, once those solutions presented themselves. So I think the fact that JSF is getting traction IN SPITE of the fact that it isn't quite as open, hasn't been open sourced as long as Tapestry, etc. is a testament to the fact that developers appear to like it. I just wanted to know (and you all have been immensely helpful in this respect) if you could get done with it, what you can with Struts. Thus the question wasn't "Is JSF better than Struts?" The question was "Is JSF ready?" And that is the question for me. I know what I can and can't do in Struts. I've been programming with it for 5 years. I know its power and I also know I've been involved with some amazingly convoluted hacks to make it do what we needed. A framework that handles more of the request/response plumbing for me is welcome. A framework where *maybe* I can use tools that are WYSIWYG if I want is appealling after 5 years of hand-coding XML descriptor files that are gigantic. A framework that handles requests and responses and doesn't push as far back into the business tier is welcome to me. So I like the idea of JSF. Just like I like the idea of Tapestry and even Ruby on Rails. I just wanted to know if you could write a JSF app today and be reasonably sure that you could do easy validation on the server, be relatively efficient in it and not run into major snafus with application server differences.

Re: Is JSF ready?
I think JSF will succeed because it was not designed by experts in a meeting room. They looked at what was already available (Tapestry, Struts, ASP.net) and took inspiration of it. EJB3 is going the same way by looking at Spring and Hibernate. I think the JEE world learned is lesson : let the open source organisationand private corporations experiment new things then standardize an API based on the existant code, so people can avoid any vendor lock-in and it allows more then one implementation of the same API.

[OT] Cookie
Hi!! I am not geting any help from net about this issue. So, postin this question on this group. I want to know exactly what difference does it make if i set Cookie.setSecure(true)?? I am using SSL in my application. What are the advantages or disadvantages of doing it from security point of view. Please help Deepa
Re: [OT] Cookie
If you set this property to true, your cookie will be sent over an HTTP/SSL (https) connection. What it means is that every value to be stored in this cookie are encrypted before being sent on the network. This way, any malicious third party who are *sniffing* the network can't read the values to be stored in this cookie. You should only use it if you store sensible information in the cookie that you don't want anyone to intercept. But be warned that the cookie can still be accessed by the client, so it isn't the best place to store password unless you use encrypted values. Cookie.setSecure() only encrypt data sent on the network wich are decrypted by the client when they are received. It doesn't encrypt the values stored on the client. You have to do it yourself.

Re: Is JSF ready?
I don't think it is accurate to say that "Struts is embracing JSF". More accurate, probably, would be that Struts tolerates JSF because Craig's career is presently tied to JSF. That's okay with me and nobody in particular cares whether I like or or not, but that is not an endorsement so much as a sop. JSF has been around forever, by the way. Tapestry is superior, in my opinion.

Mainly I thought I'd interrupt the ranting :) And what's tomcat if it's not an implementation of JSP / Servlets, and hence a partial implementation of J2EE? -- "His comrades fought beside him, Van Owen and the rest...

Re: Is JSF ready?
Just in case you are having difficulty with seeing the list, Josh, here it is: > I would argue that with Java (J2EE specifically) "standards" have largely > just "emerged". Think of all the examples. > > Tomcat > Ant > Struts > JUnit > Hibernate > > That's, by and large, the "standard" J2EE toolkit. There you have it. See? No servlets! No JSP! Good to go now? Would you endorse this statement that this list constitutes the "'standard' J2EE toolkit"? Also, one might note that J2EE is a framework and not a toolkit. Ted Husted often treats these two things alike and so often starts thinking of frameworks as just another part of an application, but that does not mean it is a good thing to think. The GoF are good on this distinction.

Re: Is JSF ready?
You make a point pretending to give us light and now you claim to only be interested in heat. I guess when you say something mistaken the best way to cover it is with an attack. Good show! I don't think talk about substance is ranting, personally. But, with you who knows. You may next say you were only using "ranting" as a jumbled "grantin". You are a slippery one alright.

Re: Is JSF ready?
By the way, do you really think Tomcat is really "an implementation of JSP / Servlets" and "hence a partial implementation of J2EE"? You throw the word "implementation" around like a first semester student at a second rate community college. You cannot use words every which way you want and do so properly, you know. I would strongly suggest you look at Tomcat code and see what really is there. You might find it fascinating, if you are not to busy walking backwards. By the way, did anyone know what Bo Jangles holds the world record in running the 100 yard dash backwards? I don't know what made me think of that. Interesting though! No?

Re: Noob question...
The "culprit", Josh, I would guess, would be an argumetn type mismatch during an invocation of PropertyUtils. This means, usually, that you are not using the multiple select tag in Struts properly. This is an old problem easy to diagnos both from the list and from google. Checking out these sources on an unusual area is usually better than striking out at random on the list.
