I tried your tip yesterday and it seems to do the trick. Thank you very much!
Until then my action methods were void, because I didn't know that you have to 
have navigation to get the jsf reloaded complete. I thought "Well, it's being 
reloaded, so everythings all right". 

I will try this further tonight at home, but I think that was the missing link 
for me to get really startet with Shale. 

Thanks a lot and keep up the good work here, I really start to like Shale.

Hi Jason, 

I'm a real newbie to JSF and Shale, but maybe the tip that Craig gave me about 
setting the immediate flag in the commandbutton could help you. Then validation 
is skipped, as far as I understood it. This helped me with my first problem. 
Maybe you can use it, too. 

Then you could remove the "H". :)

Greetings, 

Peter

RE: Passing Parameters to ActionForward from Action

2006-02-14 Thread siva
Hi Gunduz,

At first place having to much session information using session.setAttribute
will make the middleware to consume lot of memory. And, In an application
where there will be more users who could be online at the same point of
time. It is design constraint not to put lot of information in session.

So, This can be done only by passing parameters to the page. But, I couldn't
understand (came across) how to pass parameters to a jsp from Action. If you
came across anything about how to pass parameters to a jsp page let me know.

Thanks you very much,

  loginBean login = new loginBean();
  BeanUtils.copyProperties( login, loginForm );

  try{
auth = service.login(login);
if(!auth.startsWith("Ex")){
user = util.parseLogin(auth);
session.setAttribute("user",user);
ret = mapping.findForward("success");
}else{
ret = mapping.findForward("failure");
} 
   }catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("exception at login action " +
e.getMessage());
ret = mapping.findForward("exception");
}
return ret;
}

I would say yes, that's a misuse.  If your messages represent the generic
concept of validation errors, you should strive to have those messages
created during the Process Validations phase (if it's things that validators
should normally catch), or Invoke Application phase (if its business rule
enforcement like "you cannot claim that user id because it belongs to
someone else').

Using session is much simpler ;-)

  

This is one of those times I would agree :)

My suggestion would be to have a base Action in which you set a session 
attribute to tell which page was server.  Actually, you would store two, 
the current and the previous.


Here's my concern... let's say you have page A and page B, from which 
you can go to page C.  From page C you want to return to page A or B as 
appropriate.  You could do this a number of ways, but what if you are 
using the common paradigm of a setup Action for a screen, and then a 
collection of Actions which really can be though of as event handlers 
for a given screen (could be a DispatchAction just as well, that

an event handler in essence.  But, when you return to page A, you really 
want the setup Action to fire again.  So, just recording the last 
request isn't sufficient.


If you have a base Action that sets that session attribute, then you can 
have only your setup Actions extend that base class.  Then, when you 
want to return to the last page from any other page, you look up that 
value and you now know which SETUP Action you need to call.  More 
precisely, you would look at the second value in session (think of it as 
a stack) because every time a setup Action is called you really need to 
push a value on the stack so that the second value on the stack is truly 
the last page, not the current pages' setup Action.

Re: memory usage

2006-02-14 Thread netsql

Are you using r/o request "beans" or session r/w "beans"?
How many users at a time? What is the mix? How many bytes per 
columns/rows? (ex: displaytag)


Also, what is your DAO (data) caching plans? This in my designs is 
majority of RAM usage.


I built one site to support 10,000 concurent users, and we used 64 bit 
CPU (AMD) on servers ( 6 of them) to be able to address > 4 gig JVM 
space to do more DAO caching of "blobs" (media/images)


Mostly this shakes itself out during stress testing (and struts is great 
at this since you can test your "M" (Data) layer by itself).


So since majority of memory is related to your "domain" (business app 
area)


The struts "servlets" takes very few bytes itself and there is one of 
each (even for multiple sessions).

One occasion when i use the forward to referer was when i had a

able to maniuplate the cart with out going anywhere, on anypage.. I

In the case of a few entry points I see how this could be okay.. But
if you've something thats present through out a load of pages, I'd
take my chances using the Referer header.

Try using the validatorId for the component type.  The validatorId is is the

Emne: [shale] Clay component definition for t:validateEqual

Hello all,

I'm trying to use the tomahawk validator for making sure two fields have 
the same value for users entering their password.  There isn't a 
definition in the clay-config.xml in the Shale or MyFaces JIRA tickets 
so I'm trying to create one.  So I went ahead and created one:

  
  

  
  

I wasn't sure what to use for the componentType attribute of the component.

I thought I'd try setting the componentType to the fully qualified class 
name of the component itself, e.g 
org.apache.myfaces.custom.equalvalidator.EqualValidator.  But that 
doesn't work.  It blows up with the following exception:

I don't see how that would really help you ... what you seem to be needing
is that the messages get generated before the  component itself
is rendered.

Or at least, I just need the FacesMessages to not get processed until

Yes, but  requires that you get the page author involved.  From
an architectural viewpoint, I don't think that's necessarily the right
answer (in many cases) where the state being saved and restored is server
side model state as opposed to view state.

The servlet spec prohibits sharing sessions between webapps.  You'll need to
find some other way to share information between them, such as a commonly
accessed database, or perhaps (in a J2EE environment) in an EJB that is part
of the same EAR.

Doesn't the destroy() method do what you want?  It is called after
rendering.

Hmm ... destroy() *is* called by an afterPhase listener for the Render
Response phase, so something else must be going on here.

Note, of course, that any messages you *add* in the destroy() method will,
of course, not be rendered -- precisely because rendering *has* ben
completed.

Or, you could just use NetBeans :-)


Seriously, NetBeans cleanly supports a parallel structure for runtime
sources (src/java) and test sources (src/test).  Indeed, the Shale sources
themselves conform to this pattern -- take a look at the organziation of the
"use-cases" example app, for instance.  Works great, even with a freeform
Ant script (as this particular directory has).  It didn't even need to be a
formal NB project.

You might take a look at the symbols shale usecase.  It shows two options for 
alternate page entry points (XML and HTML). 

The full clay XML pages are most like tiles.  These page definitions can be 
defined in a single configuration file or individual files.  In the usecase 
example, they are in a single configuration file.

In the web.xml this file is declared:
!-- Clay Configuration Full XML view Resources -->
   
  
  org.apache.shale.clay.FULLXML_CONFIG_FILES
  
  
 classpath*:org/apache/shale/usecases/symbols/clay-tiles-config.xml
  
   


This file exists in the classpath.  In this config file you will find two 
component definitions that define the page similar to a tiles-definition.


   
   

   http://myfaces.apache.org/images/myfaces-logo.png"/>  
  
   


The symbols are like the tiles "put" variables.  The "jsfid" is like the 
"tiles" path attribute.  The page above extends basePage.  This definition is 
in the common's config file and it's declared in the web.xml

   
   
  
org.apache.shale.clay.COMMON_CONFIG_FILES
  
  
   /WEB-INF/clay-config.xml, /WEB-INF/clay-symbols-config.xml
  
  

The basePage defines default symbol values:



   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   http://struts.apache.org/images/struts.gif"/>
   
  
   


And, the base layout is a generic template:


   @title
   
  
  
 
LeftContent
HeaderContent
 
 
BodyContent
 
 
FooterContent
 
  
  
   


There's a view other details but that's the general ballpark.

All of the patterns that work for non-JSF-based webapps all work with JSF as
well -- for example:
* session scope state variables
* hidden fields in input forms
* request parameters on generated URLs
* cookies

Shale Dialogs is an instance of the first one, in that it gives you a sort
of scope "longer than a request, but shorter than a session", without you
having to be responsible for cleanup.  It's nice when you have your
application organized into a series of "conversations" with the user that
have well defined beginning and ending points.

One idea I've seen discussed, but haven't seen actually implemented yet,
would be a JSF-specific implementation of the "flash" concept in RoR, where
it keeps state information around for exactly *one* more request for you.
It should be easy to do this with a specialized variable resolver or
something ... I'll think about how to do that when dialogs are heavier
weight than you really need.  Something along the lines of this in the
second page:

   

where "savedCustomerName" was stored away (until the next request) by some
TBD mechanism.

So 1st step to layouting a page. All the other concepts work fine, e.g.

Shale: postRender method?

2006-02-14 Thread Jason Vincent
Hi All,

I was wondering if there is an easy way to get a postRender method to
be called in my Shale ViewController.
Is a new Phase Listener the only / best option? Perhaps I can extend a
Shale class to also call a postRender method?

Here is my scenario:
I have the concept of an ErrorEventCollector in the ViewController. 
Basically, the collector is passed around in the model calls to
capture errors during the model execution.  This might include errors
caused by validation checks on the retrieved data from the DB, as well
as any exceptions.  These events can be generated in any phase - init,
validation, application, or render.

In my BaseViewController - I want to have the event collector checked
for any events.  If there are events in the collector, then I want to
create FacesMessages for each event.  I tried putting the check in the
Shale destroy method, but the messages weren't being displayed by the
JSP.  So It seems I need to have this check as the last step in the
render_response phase.

Thanks for any help.

should we determine this?  I guess you could run the struts-blank

[shale]Help needed for Clay

Hi folks,

after a good time on struts we are examinating seam and shale for jsf
framework. My todays concern is the construction of the templating engine
clay. I spent so much hours on a simple login page with a layout for header,
menu, content and footer. The symbol example of usecases did not realy help.

Can someone give my advice for minimal configuration of a tapestry like

Make sure you have a form-bean and action defined in your struts config and

The idea is that you extend a base test case that sets up the mock objects.  
They are scoped so that they can be referenced from test methods in a subclass.

Take a look at the AbstractJsfTestCase 
(http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/struts/shale/trunk/test-framework/src/java/org/apache/shale/test/base/AbstractJsfTestCase.java?view=markup)

Re: Problem deploying older versions of my WAR in struts project

2006-02-14 Thread Jeff Bischoff
Thanks a bunch! I think JBoss probably behaves the same as Tomcat in 
this instance. Since my JSP files had an older timestamp, they were not 
being updated. That is, after all, somewhat intuitive.


What had really been puzzling me was why I couldn't manually clear all 
my stuff out of JBoss, and then load the old archive without having to 
worry about touching files and timestamps. Turns out I had noticed the 
"tmp" folder, but had not realized the "work" folder also had to be 
cleared. Now, with your help, I can finally load these older versions.


Thanks for helping me once again become "Master of my domain"  well, 
for struts anyhow :P

Re: [Shale] Property in ViewController Backing Bean is null

2006-02-14 Thread Jason Vincent
I think you may running into a simular problem that I ran into.

I have the following scenario: page 1 has the user choose from a list
of options.  On page 2, the form saves the selected option of page 1
in a hidden field in its form.  In addition the selected value from
page 1 is used to populate a pull down on page 2.  So the user hits
the submit button on page 2 to save the changes and KA-BLAMMO, I get a
NPE.

What was happening was the JSF was attempting to Validate the pulldown
values in the Validation phase.  This was before any of the hidden
fields were set.  So because the hidden fields weren't set, the
retrieve of the pulldown was failing.

I saw 1 of 2 solutions:
1) Turn off the validation of the pulldown.  Because, hey... why would
I need to validate a pulldown? - it isn't like a user can mistype
something.
OR
2) somehow get the hidden fields to be set before any retrieval of the
pulldown is made.

The JSF mailing list from Sun gave no help for turning off the
validator for the pulldown.

So I had to do the following, for which I give myself a big Capital
"H" for HACK.  In the contructor of the backing bean, I grabbed the
request parameters myself and called the setters from there for the
values that were needed to get through the validation of the pulldown.

Perhaps someone here can help turn off the need to retrieve the
pulldown values in the validation phase.

I hope this will help your situation, as well.

Cheers,
Jason

Fair enough, what do you suggest as an alternative? I've used this a
few times for forwarding back to the referer and found any huge
problems. I can see how if something removed the header that could
cause problems, but cant see what would be achieved by a firewall or
proxy messing around like this would achieve.

The only other suggestion i would make if this were an issue is use
separate action mappings for each point of entry..

"referer" field is unreliable. Can fail depending on your mix or

The OP wanted to know how to return to a previous page programatically.

I've only done this for security access (you do not have access to that
page so send them to login or denial page). In the past I've simply
added logic to my security filter to save the page in session and
redirect back to it after they've logged in. These days I guess you
could put that in a request processor or something.

As long as you are arriving at the "settings" page via an action, can't you 
just call the getInputForward() -- the method that the validate stuff calls to 
return to the starting page if there were errors; this seems like it would 
easily work.  

If you aren't arriving at the "settings" page via an action, you can go ahead 
and route this through a ForwardAction -- this is suggested in several books.  
Probably for reasons such as this.

Make sure that you have a navigation rule setup to handle the immediate command

The shale test framework provides mock objects for junit testing outside
of a web container.  The projects are generally organized with two root
source directories.  One for your application source and the other for
automated testing.  

The shale framework nightly
(http://svn.apache.org/builds/struts/nightly/struts-shale/) archive
contains a "test-framework" folder that has a blank project structure
including an ant build.

A new feature to RSA (I guess new to eclipse 3.x) is the ability to create 
links outside of a project.  This is pretty handy for linking in source folders 
that are not under a project.

Pull up the properties for a web project and select "Java Build Path" and the 
"Source" tab, and then click on the "add folder" button.  Select the project 
root folder and click "create new folder" (only works for the root folder).  
Use the "advanced" button to link in a source folder.  This is also an option 
for folders but it doesn't seem to work for the WebContent using just eclipse 
(haven't tried it under RAD).

You might try adding the test source folder to your web project and then just 
exclude it from the build path using the source tab.  Then create a test 
project that has links to the source in the other project.  To make this work 
on multiple workstations I think you would need to use a link variable instead 
of a path.

I'm sure there are several other options.  You might look at the "Project 
Reference" too.

Shopping Carts for Struts?

2006-02-14 Thread Robert Stevens
Can anyone recommend a good shopping cart system for Struts? We don't want to 
write one from scratch.
   
  We've built a struts/hibernate application on Linux. The products are shown 
with specific pricing and options. But, when it is time to purchase the plan, 
we want to send the customer to a commercial or open-source shopping cart with 
our Web site's headers/footers. And, we want the system to offer drop shipping 
so suppliers are notified.
   
  We've looked into several:
   
  1. OS Commerce (http://www.oscommerce.org/) 
   
  2. eBay ProStores (http://www.prostores.com/product-information.shtml)
  ProStores contractors say it can't be done. But, notice the enterprise 
version offers "Virtual inventory management with drop shipment and supplier 
notification"--which is the drop ship feature we need.
   
  3. ShopSite (http://www.shopsite.com/) or Yahoo Merchant Solutions 
(http://sbs.smallbusiness.yahoo.com/merchant/)- the product price and options 
can be presented as name/value pairs around the Buy button form.
   
  4. Interchange (http://www.icdevgroup.org/) -- The product price and options 
can be written to a MySQL database that would be read by Interchange, which is 
a great open source shopping cart but Interchange is written in Perl (a write 
only language)
   
  Any ideas?

Re: [Shale] Property in ViewController Backing Bean is null

2006-02-14 Thread Peter Goetz

Hi again,

I tried the whole weekend, but I didn't get any results other than those 
mentioned in the email below.
Shall I send some code to illustrate the problem or is it really so 
unusual, what I'm trying to do?


Thanks a lot for any help!

Peter

Good morning Craig,

thank you, I think I'm making a progress with your help.
I set the immediate flag to true for my commandButton, and my method
gets executed as I wanted it to do. In the edit method I set an
attribute of the backing bean to its correct value (the person that
should be edited in the form), and this attribute is set correctly (in
the prerender method I see its correct values). But the form is not
being filled with the values.
I read the chapter about the lifecycle of a JSF page in the J2EE
tutorial, but didn't find the information where to tweak the application
to set the actual form values. In my opinion this should happen in the
Update Model Values phase, and that this phase has to be executed, when
no errors occurs at validating the request parameters. But it seems this
is not the case.
Could you please help me again and push me in the right direction?

Thanks a lot, I will name my first child after you, if my wife doesn't
complain. :)

Have a nice weekend!

Peter

Hello Craig,

thank you very much, I didn't know that the action method is not

because all of my form input fields are required fields and the messages

Is there a way to skip validation on some actions? I would like to
validate the form when submitting it, but not when I select one item in
a list to fill the form with. Or is it standard behaviour to extract
such data tables to an extra form in the .jsp?
Thank you very much, what I wrote so far in this group is really
excellent!




The standard approach to doing this is to mark the commands you want to work
this way with immediate="true".  This causes the corresponding action to
fire "immediately" :-) ... during the Apply Request Values phase of the
request processing lifecycle, which comes *before* Process Validations.

The most common use case for this is a Cancel button ... you don't want to
have your validations executed if you're cancelling the input.  But the same
principle applies to your scenario.

Good night!

Hi there!

I have a simple .jsp (personmaintenance.jsp), backed by a backing bean

edit) and a persons Collection for an overview table. When calling the
jsp (personmaintenance.faces), everything is fine. The Collection gets
filled from the database, the person attribute is null.
Unfortunately if I hit one of the buttons "edit" or "delete", the
corresponding method is not being called. If the person attribute is
filled from the start, everything works fine.
Can somebody tell me what to do to get the methods executed when I hit
the button and the argument is null? Or am I missing something

RE: [SHALE] Using the Test Framework

2006-02-14 Thread CONNER, BRENDAN \(SBCSI\)
OK.  We're working with IBM's RSA IDE (which uses Eclipse underneath).
I'm just trying to fit into my mind how to organize the two root source
directories in that environment.  We have a Web Project set up that
contains the application code to be tested.  Normally, we just export
our application (including a J2EE Application project, which refers to
Web Project(s), EJB project(s), and Java Utility project(s)) to an EAR
file for deployment to the server, but we didn't want the test framework
stuff to be part of that export.

The shale test framework provides mock objects for junit testing outside
of a web container.  The projects are generally organized with two root
source directories.  One for your application source and the other for
automated testing.  

The shale framework nightly
(http://svn.apache.org/builds/struts/nightly/struts-shale/) archive
contains a "test-framework" folder that has a blank project structure
including an ant build.

RE: [shale] datatables request scope

2006-02-14 Thread CONNER, BRENDAN \(SBCSI\)
Ah, OK.  Then the  component from MyFaces would be more
appropriate for the problem being discussed.  We've used this in several
applications, with no problems.  All of our beans (except maybe two of
them, that contain more static values) are request scope, but they carry
their values through multiple pages of a conversation.

The dialog manager will track state as its related to the execution of a
dialog.  Its focus is on defining a page process flow at a level that
pages can be reused within various dialogs.   You can define actions
that can be invoked between view states that provide the glue code
within the context of the executing process.  Under the covers, it uses
session scope for tracking dialog state.

There are a number a ways that you can add a request parameter.  If your
navigation rule is not a redirect, they will be visible from the target
page.

context.getExternalContext().getRequestMap().put("someParam",
"someValue")

ValueBinding vb =
context.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{requestScope.someParam}")
;
vb.setValue(context, "someValue");

JSF still works with the same request/response architecture that other
web frameworks use so state management has the same challenges.

If you don't want to maintain state server side for fields that are
display only, you need to save some key that you can use to retrive the
state server side.  Or, you can use the inputHidden component to save
state as hidden attributes within the from.  The commandLink component
makes this an better option because it invokes a post verses a get.

Another thing you might look at is the tomahawk "saveState" component
(http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk/uiSaveState.html).  It will cache a
object in the component tree so that if you are using JSF client side
state saving, the state of the object will be serialized as a hidden
input field.

You might also take a look at Seam (http://www.jboss.com/products/seam).

Actually, I need to refine this a little.  The base class
AbstractViewControllerTestCase is the only one that assumes a Shale API
(ViewController in this case).  AbstractJsfTestCase assumes only the
standard JSF, Servlet, and JSP APIs, making it tremendously useful for
testing pretty much any part of a JSF application, because it wires
together
FacesContext and all the other pieces for you.

Actions should never* have instance variables. You should not have a
connection stored as an instance variable; it should be retrieved within
a method to a method-local variable. If this is what you are doing I'm
surprised you haven't had more issues.

Think of an Action like a servlet: if you have instance variables and
you write to them during a method and it's not synchronized you are
probably making a mistake.

* Of course, if you deal with synchronization issues, never mind. If
it's a read-only variable it probably doesn't matter.

Problem with Connection Pool in Action-Classes

2006-02-14 Thread starki78
Hi,
we have a connection-member variable
in our super-action that is opened
and closed there by the connection-pool.
(it's always clossed within the finally block)
Now then we call the sub-classes very
often in a short period it seems
the connection isn't been given back!!!
It seems that the action is not absolutely thread safe.
Can this be?

Thanks for any answer
Starky

That could work, and it would scale to n input pages.

Re: Another struts design question

2006-02-14 Thread Mark Lowe
You could use the referer header to create an action forward based on
that value.

String referer = request.getHeader("Referer");
URL url = new URL(referer);
String path = url.getPath();
String contextPath = request.getContextPath();
path = path.replaceFirst(contextPath,"");

return new ActionForward(path,true);

You may have to append any parameters to the path, but i'm sure you
can work that out..

Subject: Bean Population When Form Cancelled

Hi all,

I have a form that uses validator to check for simple validation like
making
sure that a cash amount is a double.  I have the "cancel" button on the
form
set so that if it is pressed that validation does not take place.  This
is
great except when you type a letter into the cash text box and then
press
cancel.  The form gets returned along with the invalid cash amount, the
BeanUtils attempts to populate the form and the whole thing falls over
with
an exception.

Does somebody have a strategy for dealing with this situation?  Is there
a
way of telling struts that if the cancel button is pressed that NO bean
population should take place?

All help appreciated.

Cheers
Tom

ActionForm String[]

2006-02-14 Thread Marcio Ghiraldelli
Hello,

I am working with a dyanmic form, that generates n checkboxes (for each row 
of my set).

Using a String[] type in the action form, I´d been able to retrieve the 
data. Now, I´m trying to pre-populate these checkbox values correctly, via 
ActionForm reset method, but can´t figure out.
Instanting a bogus vector and seting some values to it doens´t work...

Can I do it without messing with my jsp?

[shale] datatables request scope

2006-02-14 Thread Mark Lowe
Hello

I've a general question on shale.

Despite the jsf spec being churned out for a significant amount of
time, there seems to be no tidy means of maintaining request
attributes between requests to the server.. If i have a datatable and
want to add a row, indeed a can but i need to scope the backing bean
to session.

I've found a few work arounds for this none of which I like. All the
advocates of jsf tell us its the future so on and so forth seem to
avoid the issue by just using session scope without a second thought.
Oracle have processScope which does the same sort of thing, but this
means you have to use one jsf implemenation to do this.

Now struts (action, classic, original, vanilla, old trusty, whatever)
deals with this, as does adding request attributes in servlets and
then forwarding using the request dispatcher.. But JSF has no
provision for this, does shale have a solution to this? I tried with
action listeners and such like, but never been quite able to pull it
off. The only work around involves session scoping and then cleaning
as soon as a new get request is made..

I've also seen something about a flash scope, that uses a tag lib, but
it smelled funny.

I'm I being stupid (not the first time) ? Or its there still no tidy
way of dealing with this problem?

Its looking for a bean named "message" and can't find it - have you
used this in the "name" property on any of your tags?

For example 

Are you using the  tag at all, something like...

   
   
   

Maybe you didn't spell "message" in the id correctly?

Anyway, something along those lines - check you tag attributes for
"message" values.
