Re: iteration with indexed properties
you need to have an instantiated array of wrapper[] that is big enough
to take what your HTML submits. If your action form is in the request,
then wrappers[] will be null unless you instantiate it.

Session without cookies
Hi All, I have been searching for hours and still cannot find any useful info. Hope you can help. I am building a Struts app. (Struts 1.2.4 + Tomcat 5.5 + Apache 2.0.55 + Spring 1.2.6) and want to use session without enabling cookies. I use html:link to create links so ;jsessionid is appended to the end. Fine. The problem I have is every time I access a page, a new session id is created so essentially everything stored in session is lost. Here is some output from my test action, test.do: test.do = HttpSession session = request.getSession(); System.out.println(Is session new? + session.isNew()); System.out.println(Session id: + session.getId()); First access = Is session new? true Session id: B9F9E135DCBAC90AB2B5AEBCE901FAA5 Second access = Is sesssion new? false Session id: 8CCE7A388E76C0F56016E8F41E29E0E5 The session is not new but the id is different...I already set in Tomcat server.xml Context path=/myApp cookies=false...

Struts 1.2.9 does not throw InvalidCancelException
just upgraded from 1.2.8 to 1.2.9. I did not add set-property property=cancellable value=true/ in struts-config.xml and still use html:cancel as per normal in jsp files. Tested, do not see exception and no validation is called. any reason why ? default setting ? btw, my action is LookupDispatchAction. rgds lixin
RE: Session without cookies
I think some where(may be in the action class association with the action /test.do) you are creating new session each time for each request. Most possible mistake could be using Request.getSession(true); See below documentation from Servlet Specifications ** getSession() public HttpSession getSession() Returns the current session associated with this request, or if the request does not have a session, creates one. Returns: the HttpSession associated with this request See Also: getSession(boolean) getSession(boolean) public HttpSession getSession(boolean create) Returns the current HttpSession associated with this request or, if if there is no current session and create is true, returns a new session. If create is false andthe request has no valid HttpSession, this method returns null. To make sure the session is properly maintained, you must call this method before the response is committed. If the container is using cookies to maintain session integrity and is asked to create a new session when the response is committed, an IllegalStateException is thrown.

Re: ***** Passing an ArrayList to action from JSP ****
Hi Pal,
You can save arraylist object in your session object container (if you have,
normally is a java bean), then you can pass through the arraylist object in
an active session.
Let's say you have a form called Form1 which is a action form,
inside the form, you can add an arraylist, so when you submit the form, the
arraylist will also be submitted to the server.
You probably also need create an entry in the session object container, so
that you can use it without calling through the form.
To get the arraylist value and display on jsp:
In your action class:
Extract arraylist values and save it to the object your created in the
session object container
then, update the session object container in the session.
In your jsp:
Call the session object and extract the arraylist object with its items (I
am sure you know how to do it)
To submit the arraylist and get it in your action class:
Since you have arraylist object within the form. once you submit the form,
the action form is passed to the action class.
In your action class:
Get the form from session, extract the arraylist and do something ...
Wish it could help ~

RE： RE: Session without cookies
Hi Chandra, As far as I know, the attribute cookies of the Context node in Tomcat server.xml is the only place I need to set. From the doc, http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html cookies: Set to true if you want cookies to be used for session identifier communication if supported by the client (this is the default). Set to false if you want to disable the use of cookies for session identifier communication, and rely only on URL rewriting by the application. Thanks. Michael --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 說： Michael, isNew() is mostly depends on how server manages the session. Returns true if the client does not yet know about the session or if the client chooses not to join the session. For example, if the server used only cookie based sessions, and the client had disabled the use of cookies, then a session would be new on each request.

Re: StrutsTestCases
A web application that is packed as a war file and deployed to Tomcat or
JBoss can work properly without having web.xml. Since you are using struts
and jsp. You need tell the server what is the servlet parser as well as
someother info. So make sure there is a VALID web.xml in your application
folder /WEB-INF.

Extracting MessageResources from Struts
Hi everyone, this question is not entirely a question about struts but just about a part of it, which I would like to extract from the rest of the framework. It's like this: I have my own framework for creating dynamic SVGs and in one Class I have tooltip-messages hardcoded in German. I don't want to destroy the structure of the method-calls and so I thought about Struts MessageResources where I can use different language packages in form of property files. So far so good, but I don't want to add the whole struts to my framework but just the MessageRessources-part and so my question is: can I just extract the MessageResources.class or is there substitution I can use for this? thanks very much in advance Julian -- Echte DSL-Flatrate dauerhaft für 0,- Euro*!

Acegi with shale and clay
Hi, I'm using Shale/Clay to create an application. I'd like to protect the app with acegi's URL protection but I don't see a way to integrate with the response rendering. Here's an example: (all pages are rendered via Clay full html). I have the structure /welcome.html /logon.html /secure/page1.html /secure/page2.html the secure pages should only be accessable by those who have logged on using logon.html. The secure/.. Pages are defined as a dialog called secure. In welcome.html i have an actionlink whose action is dialog:Secure I configure acegi to protect urls as follows: bean id=filterInvocationInterceptor class=org.acegisecurity.intercept.web.FilterSecurityInterceptor property name=authenticationManager ref bean=authenticationManager / /property property name=accessDecisionManager ref local=httpRequestAccessDecisionManager / /property property name=objectDefinitionSource value CONVERT_URL_TO_LOWERCASE_BEFORE_COMPARISON PATTERN_TYPE_APACHE_ANT /secure/**=ROLE_USER /**=ROLE_ANONYMOUS /value /property property name=observeOncePerRequest value=false/ /bean If I now hit my application at welcome.html I'm assigned role ANONYMOUS and all is well. However, if I click on the link to the secure dialog acegi doesn't redirect me to logon.html. The request generated when I click on the actionlink appears to be a request for /welcome.html which acegi says it's ok to access anonymously. Shale's dialog manager then works out that the action is dialog:Secure and causes page1 of that dialog to render, apparently without doing either a forward or a rediect to /secure/page1.html. (In web.xml I have the mapping to acegi as follows: filter-mapping filter-nameAcegi Filter Chain Proxy/filter-name url-pattern/*/url-pattern dispatcherFORWARD/dispatcher dispatcherREQUEST/dispatcher /filter-mapping So forwards should also fire the filter). That means acegi never has a chance to intercept the request. (Once I'm in the dialog on page1.html, if I click on the next button I am redirected to the logon.html page - acegi correctly intercepts the /secure/page1.html request that is made). How can I intercept Shale's page building and view rendering mechanisms to ensure that my site's urls are secured correctly?

Re: Extracting MessageResources from Struts
Using message ressources is not struts specific. What struts does beside using message ressources is maintaining the user language in user http session and use it when it need a message ressouce use. If all you need to do is have multi language support for your messages, i suggest you take a look at how ressource bundles are used for i18n in the sun java documentations http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/i18n/index.html Please note basically the MessageResources is a front end to this allowing configuration of ressources in struts xml configuration file.

Re: Extracting MessageResources from Struts
hi, thank you very much your answer has been very helpful :) ciao 4 now Julian --- Ursprüngliche Nachricht --- Von: David Delbecq [EMAIL PROTECTED] An: Struts Users Mailing List user@struts.apache.org Betreff: Re: Extracting MessageResources from Struts Datum: Mon, 24 Apr 2006 13:37:45 +0200 Using message ressources is not struts specific. What struts does beside using message ressources is maintaining the user language in user http session and use it when it need a message ressouce use. If all you need to do is have multi language support for your messages, i suggest you take a look at how ressource bundles are used for i18n in the sun java documentations http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/i18n/index.html Please note basically the MessageResources is a front end to this allowing configuration of ressources in struts xml configuration file. Julian Tillmann a écrit : Hi everyone, this question is not entirely a question about struts but just about a part of it, which I would like to extract from the rest of the framework. It's like this: I have my own framework for creating dynamic SVGs and in one Class I have tooltip-messages hardcoded in German. I don't want to destroy the structure of the method-calls and so I thought about Struts MessageResources where I can use different language packages in form of property files. So far so good, but I don't want to add the whole struts to my framework but just the MessageRessources-part and so my question is: can I just extract the MessageResources.class or is there substitution I can use for this? thanks very much in advance Julian - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Feel free - 10 GB Mailbox, 100 FreeSMS/Monat ...

Re: bean:define in including jsp
Hi Dilip, You can define the bean in tiles def to use it across the pages. The put tag is used to associate a value to an attribute. It allows specifying the attribute name and its value. The attribute value will be retrieved by its name. The value can be specified in several ways: as a bean defined in some scope: tiles:put name=title beanName=aBean beanScope=page|request|application|tiles/ The bean identified by beanName is retrieved, and its value used as attribute value. beanScope is optional, if not specified, bean is searched for in scopes in the following order: page, request and application. Scope tiles means the current Tile's context (if any). In this case, beanName identifies a Tile attribute name. as property of a bean defined in some scope: tiles:put name=title beanName=aBean beanProperty=aProperty beanScope=page|request|application|tiles/ This is a variant of the previous case. The value is not the retrieved bean, but the returned value of the specified bean property. OR you can also explore topic 1.2.5 here: http://struts.apache.org/struts-action/struts-tiles/userGuide.html HTH, On 4/21/06, Dilip Ladhani [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey guys, We us Struts with tiles and here is something, I am having some trouble with. I have a main jsp (a.jsp). This jsp includes a few other jsps (using tiles:insert attribute=b/, where b=b.jsp). Now, if I have a bean:define in a .jsp (eg bean:define name=aForm property=prop id=prop1 /), prop1 is usable in a.jsp, but not in b.jsp(the included or inserted jsp). Is this because, the tiles stuff is evaluated before the struts tags? If so, how can I have a bean:define in an including jsp, which can be used in all the included jsps? If I add this bean :define, in b.jsp, it is obviously accessible in b.jsp, but I don't want to add bean:define in every included jsp . thanks, -- Vinit Sharma IBM
RE: Acegi with shale and clay
The main problem with that solution is that I'd rather not have to use
redirect everywhere as it will affect performance.
Secondly, how would I configure the navigation rule?
My current view is /welcome.html so that's easy
navigation-rule
from-view-id/welcome.html/from-view-id
My navigation case outcome is dialog:secure...
navigation-case
from-outcomedialog:secure/from-outcome
But what is my to-view id? Is it the first page of the dialog?
to-view-id/secure/page1.html/to-view-id
That can't be right as my dialog starts with an action rather than a
page view...
dialog name=secure start=Setup
action name=Setup method=#{secure$secure.setup}
transition outcome=success target=Page 1 /
/action
view name=Page 1 viewId=/secure/page1.html
transition outcome=next target=Page 2 /
/view
...
So my to-view-id would somehow have to refer to the action that starts
the dialog. Is that possible?
Athird issue here is that (I believe) DialogNavigationHandler intercepts
the outcome of dialog:secure and deals with it, so the navigation case
is never invoked anyway?

Ian.

Hi,
I'm using Shale/Clay to create an application. I'd like to protect the

the response rendering.
Here's an example: (all pages are rendered via Clay full html). I have

/secure/page2.html
the secure pages should only be accessable by those who have logged on
using logon.html. The secure/.. Pages are defined as a dialog called

In welcome.html i have an actionlink whose action is dialog:Secure
I configure acegi to protect urls as follows:

property name=authenticationManager
ref bean=authenticationManager /

acegi doesn't redirect me to logon.html. The request generated when I

A navigation case looks like this

As far as I know, the navigation case is always evaluated by the navigation

So my to-view-id would somehow have to refer to the action that starts the dialog. Is that possible? Athird issue here is that (I believe) DialogNavigationHandler intercepts the outcome of dialog:secure and deals with it, so the navigation case is never invoked anyway?

Hermod -Original Message- From: Ian.Priest [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 1:28 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Acegi with shale and clay Hi, I'm using Shale/Clay to create an application. I'd like to protect the app with acegi's URL protection but I don't see a way to integrate with the response rendering. Here's an example: (all pages are rendered via Clay full html). I have the structure /welcome.html /logon.html /secure/page1.html /secure/page2.html the secure pages should only be accessable by those who have logged on using logon.html. The secure/.. Pages are defined as a dialog called secure. In welcome.html i have an actionlink whose action is dialog:Secure I configure acegi to protect urls as follows: class=org.acegisecurity.intercept.web.FilterSecurityInterceptor CONVERT_URL_TO_LOWERCASE_BEFORE_COMPARISON PATTERN_TYPE_APACHE_ANT /secure/**=ROLE_USER /**=ROLE_ANONYMOUS If I now hit my application at welcome.html I'm assigned role ANONYMOUS and all is well. However, if I click on the link to the secure dialog acegi doesn't redirect me to logon.html. The request generated when I click on the actionlink appears to be a request for /welcome.html which acegi says it's ok to access anonymously. Shale's dialog manager then works out that the action is dialog:Secure and causes page1 of that dialog to render, apparently without doing either a forward or a rediect to /secure/page1.html. (In web.xml I have the mapping to acegi as follows: Acegi Filter Chain Proxy /* FORWARD REQUEST So forwards should also fire the filter). That means acegi never has a chance to intercept the request. (Once I'm in the dialog on page1.html, if I click on the next button I am redirected to the logon.html page - acegi correctly intercepts the /secure/page1.html request that is made). How can I intercept Shale's page building and view rendering mechanisms to ensure that my site's urls are secured correctly?

Some extra eyes to see where I'm screwing this code up...(form with Map property where keys-String, values-String[])
Thanks for any help...
Here's what the html page output looks like:
Product Roles
-
SomeProduct
[] INTERNALAUTHOR[]EXTERNALAUTHOR
SomeProduct2
[] INTERNALAUTHOR[]EXTERNALAUTHOR
SomeProduct3
[] INTERNALAUTHOR[]EXTERNALAUTHOR
Backing this output is an ActionForm with the property:
HashMap productRolesMap;
//there is also a Map with this same name put into
//request scope
The ActionForm map has the keys set to the productId (number as a String)
and the value is a String[]. When the form submits I just want to
have the form's productRolesMap set with the String[] of the
selected roles. (Since these aren't boolean properties, all I need
is the values of the selected items).
Below is the code I was trying to use and it's working fine for
displaying the intial set of information (correct items are checked
and unchecked). The problem is when it submits, the String[] arrays in
the Map are not being updated at all.
The setter for the productRolesMap is called, but apparently the new
values selected are not being reflected in this Map.
The code I'm working with:
c:forEach var=productMapItem items=${productRolesMap} varStatus=pStatus
b${productMapItem.key.productName}/b
div style=padding-left:15px;
c:forEach var=role items=${productMapItem.value}
html:multibox name=authenticateForm
property=productRolesMap.${productMapItem.key.productId}
${role}
/html:multibox
${role}nbsp;nbsp;
/c:forEach
/div
br/br/
/c:forEach
A snippet of the resulting html looks like:
input type=checkbox name=productRolesMap.2 value=INTERNALAUTHOR
INTERNALAUTHOR
input type=checkbox name=productRolesMap.2 value=EXTERNALAUTHOR
checked=checked
EXTERNALAUTHOR
I'm sure it's something stupid that I'm doing wrong. (Isn't it always:)

Validation help required
Hi, I am using struts 1.1 I have two textboxes (username, password). My requirements is - I need to display a standard error message when both the fields are empty or when either of the field is empty. - I need to display a different error message when both the the fields are filled but username-pwd do not match. In validation.xml I declared two field properties each for username and password with the same msg key but the problem is that when the form is submitted with both the fields empty then the same error msg appears twice. How to rectify this situation. Any kind of help would be highly appreciated. Thanks. Dinesh

RE: Validation help required
The fact that you are getting 2 messages makes sense as you are running validation against both the fields. It does not matter if the arg key is the same. That would just pick the same message from your properties file twice. You could try using the validWhen validator and accociating that validation with only one of the fields. Also, instead of using an arg element in validator.xml, use an msg element to specify whatever message you want to specify. Or you could write your own validator, which is a bit much in this case. I have pretty much the same thing at work here and I just use validWhen.

Re: Some extra eyes to see where I'm screwing this code up...(form with Map property where keys-String, values-String[])
Ok, figured out the below.
I remember running into this before and I should have remembered it.
For those reading this from the archives at some late date...
it really helps if you use regular pojos as values for your Maps.
These pojos can thus have the proper getter/setters for access to the
type of object you really care about as storing as your map values.
When I nested the String[] inside of a Roles object (with String[]
getRoles method and setter) and then stuffed the Roles' object as the
value for each key in the map, things work fine.
so instead of
property=productRolesMap.${productMapItem.key.productId}
I have
property=productRolesMap.${productMapItem.key.productId}.roles
and everything is fine (and I did need to use the reset method to
reset the String[] object in the Roles object since I decided to use
Session scope because didn't feel like using Lazy objects).

Pluggable Validator question
Hello All, I am trying to use the TwoField pluggable Validator example from the struts's site. I replaced the deprecated method calls in validateTwoFields(..). For some reason, when I run my application, it doesn't validate the input fields. Instead it directly takes me to the success page after I hit submit. I tried debugging the validateTwoFields(..) and found that it's returning false when the input fields did not match. But still the control is forwarding to the success page. Here's my action mapping. action path=/pwdAction name=pwdForm type=actions.PWDAction scope=request validate=true input=/password.jsp forward=/success.jsp forward name=success path=/success.jsp/ What am I doing wrong?

String value = ValidatorUtils.getValueAsString(bean,
field.getProperty());
String sProperty2 = field.getVarValue(secondProperty);

if (!GenericValidator.isBlankOrNull(value)) {
try {
if (!value.equals(value2)) {
errors.add(field.getKey(), new ActionMessage(

return false;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
errors.add(field.getKey(), new ActionMessage(

return false;
}
}
return true;

[Shale] AbstractViewController for Dummies
My understanding of the JSF lifecycle is a bit tenuous. As a result, I'm confused about the proper use of init(), preprocess(), and prerender(). Thus far, I've just been using init() and destroy() to handle the creation and closing of Connections and other minor duties because they have just worked for what I needed. Now, I'm moving on with some more complex pages and I want to be sure that I'm leveraging the AbstractViewController for all it's worth. The documentation does a good job of explaining when and under what conditions the events are fired, however, my weakness is that I just don't know what kind of jsf programming events to stuff in each one. If I have a component that uses select items (that don't live in the application or session scopes), should I build them in init() or prerender()? These are the kinds of questions I wrestle with. An actual issue that I'm working through now is this: I have a page that lists 'Contracts'. If the user clicks one, the plan is to navigate to a detail page, with the Contract's id number stored in the parameter map. The detail page's backing bean needs to instantiate a Contract object based on the id value, but do I do that in the bean constructor, the init() or the prerender() methods?

Sensible enough, but if you find you have to, here's one pseudoapproach I've never tried that could work: . programmatically generate the xml text for an SVG image (the images themselves don't look all that complex, and the key text overlaid is just text at this point) . convert the svg to some binary web image format like png (e.g., via cocoon) Cheers, Steve - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Tiles vs. jsp:include + XHTML/CSS
Does using Tiles still makes sense in 2006? Please correct me if I am wrong, but if I understand correctly, main Tiles featurs are: * Uniform LF (block layout, colors, etc) * Tile definitions Uniform LF --- The layout is defined in a layout file. Follows is the layout style pulled right from Tiles page [1]: %@ taglib uri=http://struts.apache.org/tags-tiles; prefix=tiles % table border=2 width=300 bordercolor=Gray tr td bgcolor=Blue strongtiles:getAsString name=title//strong /td /tr tr tdtiles:insert attribute=header//td /tr tr tdtiles:insert attribute=body//td /tr /table This antiquated sample does not promote good HTML design. It uses table instead of div or span elements, and it uses HTML attributes like bgcolor. The concrete page would use code like this [1]: %@ taglib uri=http://struts.apache.org/tags-tiles; prefix=tiles % tiles:insert template=layout.jsp tiles:put name=title value=This is the title. / tiles:put name=header value=header.jsp / tiles:put name=body value=body.jsp / /tiles:insert I still have to specify all these tiles:put tags that refer to particular header/footer files (Definition solves that, see below). What if instead of using tiles:put name=header value=header.jsp / one would use something like this: div class=headerjsp:include page=header.jsp //div and would have an appropriate set of rules for header class in a CSS file? Would not it be the same without using Tiles layout file? Tile definitions Specifying tiles:put tags that refer to particular header/footer files does not make a lot of sense, so Tiles allows to have definitions in a JSP file or in XML. If I have definition in a JSP file, I would include it with include directive. Again, what if a JSP file with definitions contained just a list of regular JSP includes for the header, menu and footer, and every include would be wrapped into a div or span with specific CSS id/class? Would not it be quite similar? So, the question I am asking: what are the real benefits of using Tiles if I use JSP includes + XHTML/CSS for layout/styling? Can most of Tiles features be implemented with XHTML/CSS? Michael.

Proposal for change
Dear Struts community, We have seen a rash of what most people consider noise on these lists recently, and I can't deny that I was even part of some of it (although I hope somewhat more constructively than some). However, underlying the noise I feel were a few valid points worth considering. I for one have. What I've come away with is a proposal I would like to make. It would represent a procedural change of sorts, or addition to be more accurate. I ask that anyone who has a thought on it please feel free to comment, but I ask that you try and do so constructively. It is not my intention to start another 200-post thread that quickly devolves into name-calling and insults. Also, please try not to get hung up on all the details, because they are debatable and negotiable (although I have tried to make them reasonable to start with). The two principles described in the conclusion are what is really important. The details of how this would work can be adjusted to make everyone happy. A proposal for community-based committer nominations * Rationale One of the issues that a number of people seem to have with the way Struts has progressed is the seeming inability (or difficulty at least) of getting new blood involved. There seems to be a perception by many that there is a bit of a closed club mentality with regard to being invited in as a committer and that the Struts community at large has no say in the matter. * Proposed Change: First, let me make clear that this proposal does NOT change the existing mechanism by which someone is invited to be a committer. That decision still rests soley with the PMC. This proposal only seeks to build on top of that mechanism. I propose that a community-based nomination process be instituted. For the sake of discussion, a qualified person is anyone that has been on the Struts Dev and/or User mailing lists for at least 6 months and has been relatively active (say, at minimum, 2 posts per week total). Any qualified person is eligible for nomination, or to nominate someone else. Naturally, a person could never nominate themselves. A nomination must then be seconded by another qualified person. At that point, a voting period of one week commences, where any non-committer and non-PMC member, qualified or not, may vote (the usual +1, 0, -1). The original nominator is responsible for tallying the vote. A person must receive at least 60% +1's (i.e., 6 out of 10 must be +1) and no more than half of the remainder may be negative. At the end of that one week period, the vote results will be posted to the Dev list and a similar one week period will commence where existing Struts team members vote for the nominee. Also note that at any point, the nominee can decline the nomination. We wouldn't want to offer someone up that doesn't want to job! * Conclusion: Once again, let me make perfectly clear that the existing PMC still retains 100% control over who is invited to join. This proposal only serves to introduce a mechanism by which members of the community can be nominated and force a vote by the PMC. That is of course the first important principle of this proposal. The other important principle is taking the will of the community into account. By having the PMC not vote until AFTER the community has voted, the will of the community should be apparent, and the idea is that the PMC will take that into account when voting. The community will then have a clear indication whether they have been listened to or not based on the outcome of the vote (and the comments made during the vote because, after all, there ould be legitimate reasons not to adhere to the community's vote, and hose reasons should come out in discussion). But, at the end of the day, who is invited to join is still decided by the PMC, as it is today. I look forward to feedback. Thanks for listening!

Without commenting on the merit of the proposal itself, or the reasoning presented as its justification, it is important to note that we (the Struts community) do not have free reign to do whatever we want in this regard. As part of Apache, the Struts community is accountable to the Apache Software Foundation's Board of Directors, and one of the things that gets watched is how well the various projects implement the Apache Way. And one of the key tenets of that way is how new committers get selected. Regardless of the details, anything along the general lines of what you describe would be quite different from the way Apache has grown from the very beginning to what it is today -- and it would, therefore, be looked at with a *lot* of skepticism by Apache as a whole. Trying to argue that the Apache Way is flawed, and needs to be fundamentally changed like this, does not seem likely (to me) to get much agreement Apache wide, given the ASF's history, and the success of many of its projects at building communities of committers that buy in to that culture -- and, by the way, produce some pretty popular software to boot. So what the heck is this Apache way thing? It is a culture; a way of gathering a community that interoperates ... and it can be tough at times to write down a descrption that makes sense. But [1] is a pretty good starting point. I'd also recommend looking through the documentation for the Incubator Project (where a specific exit criteria is that the folks participating in the new project get it about the Apache way). Frank Craig [1] http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html PS: If you like the code but don't like the community, one of the best things about Apache is that the license gives you the right to fork and build your own community, operated according to whatever rules please you. So, even if a proposal like this is not accepted, you still have the opportunity to go build a better Struts -- that doesn't have to be done here.

Michael Jouravlev wrote:
So, the question I am asking: what are the real benefits of using
Tiles if I use JSP includes + XHTML/CSS for layout/styling? Can most
of Tiles features be implemented with XHTML/CSS?
I guess some of it comes to a personal preference in regard to the
dynamic content stuff that I didn't see you mention (or I read over your
post too quickly).
For example what about things where your header section needs a title
to display in the html, or what if you quickly want to change around
what pages get 'injected' (for lack of a better word) with a particular
div? To accomplish this without something like tiles, you 1) have to set
up certain things in the request in your Action before you go to your
page and 2) you have to have jstl logic to decide whether or not to
display the information. Personally I find it much cleaner to have this
stuff defined in one place. So for example, lets look at your master
layout...
jsp:include page=masterLayout.jsp
div class=content
//all your content
/div
masterlayout.jsp
div class=headerjsp:include page=header.jsp//div
div class=footerjsp:include page=footer.jsp//div
header.jsp
--
SOME COOL LOGO
{ Dynamic MY SUPER TITLE }
SOME OTHER LOGO
more other images
---
Now in the above, how are you going to get your title into this header
jsp? The only way I know of is that you'd have to set it up ahead of
time in your action. What if someone decides that title needs to change?
Personally I'd rather find all the titles in one place
(tiles-definitions.xml) than have to find what Action it it is in and
where in the Action you set it up.
Actually tiles just saved me a lot of time in a project I'm working on
where each of the pages belongs to a certain tab section For example,
'post' is a link on the menu bar which is part of the notification tab
section. Because the business requirements changed so much laying out
this stuff was so easy as the powers-that-be changed their mind about
what should be part of what tab ragion. Since you can extend layouts, it
was a quick change to extend a different tab-layout in the
tiles-definitions.
Also, another thing I like is when I want to change the layout of a page
very quickly. For example, I often have a popup layout (doesn't
contain the header and footer and other decoration). If I want to
quickly change the resulting page to use this layout, it's a 1 second
change in my tiles-definitions. This becomes even more clean when
sometimes this page has the popup layout but other times the page is
used with the normal layout. Using Tiles you can set up a definition as
yourpage.popup and yourpage.normal. Now, in your struts-config you
might have action mappings that foward to popup and normal - the
content never changes - only the layout. To me this is more clean than
having JSTL logic in the JSP page to decide whether or not to display
certain things. At any given time I can quickly change my mind and it's
super easy... I simply modify one definition file instead of stripping
out or putting back in JSTL logic to hide or show sections.
The other thing is that I'm still not convinced of the magic and wonders
of css for layout. Personally to me it's often black magic voodoo. Sure,
I'm sure some will say it's easy ...bla blah... BS I say. Complex
layouts with css is ANYTHING but easy or intuitive. Sure for simple
stuff it's fine, but I'll be willing to race almost any average css user
in designing some complex layouts. They can use only css and divs. I can
use tables. I bet you I'll be done much faster and it'll work in all
browsers and it will be easy to understand (ok yes it will 'look' more
cluttered, but it'll still be intuitive.) Ok done ranting about css
positioning:)
Lastly, I think sitemesh is great, but I've haven't checked in a while
to see if they still buffer everything before outputting the displaying.
This was a huge performance hit in my last application since we had some
huge (yes, arguably, too large) reporting jsps. Last time I used
Sitemesh, sitemesh looked like it still had to hold everything in a
buffer before decorating. You can imagine the memory problem that could
occur for some very large jsps. If Sitemesh fixed this one problem, I'd
use it over Tiles.
PS: when you mention:

particular header/footer files (Definition solves that, see below).

The all these tiles:put things in the above is only true for things

The latter statement is, as mentioned in my previous response, the way that *all* projects at Apache work -- it is not unique to Struts. Any claim that all of Apache is broken in this regard is going to be, umm, unlikely to be agreed with :-). What's more interesting is to examine the former statement, and compare it to the facts. The Who We Are page[1] lists the current folks who are on the PMC (and also have committer privileges), and who are committers not on the PMC. There's 14 and 13 names, respectively, giving a total of 27 (and this doesn't count the 10 previous committers who are now on the emeritus list, for a total of 37). That's a pretty good size number, compared to the average at Apache. But what is really interesting is to look at the timing of how we got from one committer (me) six years ago, to where we are today -- and focus especially on the more recent changes. In just the last year there have been quite a number of new committers added[2] ... six independent of the WebWork merger (Wendy, Gary, Greg, Shawn, Laurie, and Richard), two more (Jason and Patrick) directly because of the merger, and five more who have commit rights to the WebWork incubator code and will become Struts committers as soon as it graduates. There is also one outstanding invitation that, for personal reasons fo the individual involved, will be accepted later rather than now. That is a pretty large percentage increase for a single year, even discounting the merger -- and have you ever seen other competing communities come together like this? Hmm ... doesn't seem like the existing community is particularly closed to new blood to me. Examining how the new folks got themselves nominated and elected is also interesting. In every case, it was based on continuous contributions of code, documentation, user list help, build script maintenance, or whatever made a *positive* difference for everyone. Indeed, if you go back to the days when folks like Ted and Martin were added, a lot of it was being tired of applying all the patches they were contributing :-). All of these folks get it -- so it is not just a couple of dictatorial snobs sitting on top of the mountain dictating who is in and who is out :-). There is also another interesting observation here -- you don't have to be a committer to initiate changes to the Struts code base. What you have to do is justify your bugfix or RFE to the point where an existing committer is willing to take responsibility for cleaning up any messes that committing the change might cause. So, you only have to convince one of the various folks to get your patch in. Failure to succeed in that goal *could* be a close minded community, but it also just might be that the proposed change doesn't fit with what the committers as a whole have in mind (it only takes one commiter -1 to make a committed change get reversed, so we pay attention to this as part of the decision process on accepting a patch). Just in the little time I have had to spend on Struts in the last year, I've committed patches from at least 20 different people. Spread across the six years that Struts has existed, and all the committers who have done the same thing, we are talking many *hundreds* of people who have contributed at least some code or documentation to what is now Struts. I just don't buy the presumption that the current system is broken. I won't presume to convince *you* to think that way -- it's your perogative to think whatever you want -- but I will certainly take into account whether someone gets it before I would ever vote for them to be a committer. Fortunately for those who either don't, or don't want to, buy into this, the Apache license gives you the freedom to take the code and go start your own community, operating according to your own rules, if you don't like the way things work here. But you are starting from a rationale that does not match the objective facts, so I'm not even going to be interested in trying to hash out details of how to change something that does not need to be changed.
