s:select and pre-selection
Hi, I have a select box: s:select name=user.property list=availableObjects listKey=id listValue=name / availableObjects is a list of objects having an id and a name property, where id is of type long. user.property is 'converted' to its id (as String) by a type converter. Now, setting user.property works well with this, but the current value is not pre-selected when I load the form. When I show user.property in a textfield, the correct ID is displayed (the id of the option which should be pre-selected). I found a hint in the s:select documentation, which says that for OGNL-generated maps, the type of the key-attribute must be the same as the type of the listKey property in order to match. So I implemented getIdAsString() and used listKey=idAsString, but it doesn't work either. What am I doing wrong here? (I am using struts 2.0.11) Any help or hint will be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Daniel - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Have you put

Check the source of rendered login page to see if this hidden input is
properly set to the URL we want to redirect.

persistence and doubts on usage of hibernate in struts 2
Hello. I am having a problem with the usage of hibernate and its persistence
mechanism.
I have an Action with a method for creation of an entity type and other
method for updating. This action implements a Preparable and in its method
prepare() I verify if the entity is being created or updated, depending if
an ID came from the jsp form.
public void prepare() throws Exception {
if (getId() == null) {
operador = new Operador();
} else {
operador = getSegurancaService().carregarOperador(id);
}
}
(This Operador is a model with a corresponding table on the database.)
Before saving, I have a condition to verify. I need to verify if there is
another row in the table Operador in the database with the same value in the
field Operador.email, for instance. In my previous systems working with
another languages, I did the following in this case:
- fetch object from database
- update its properties with the form values
- made the necessary validations, and IF the validations pass, save the
object (for instance calling a method Object.save). I am doing manual
validations in the action.
However, for hibernate this does not work, because it considers the updated
object as part of the database. So when I try to fetch in the database to
see if there is already a row with Operador.email field with the value
entered in the form, the Hibernate automatically saves the current operador
before fetching and will ever find a row (the current) with the desired
value for e-mail field.
Is there some way to disable this auto-saving behaviour in Hibernate?
I thought about ever creating a new object to receive the form data, after
that make the validations I need to, and after the validations pass, get the
object I want to update from the database and do a kind of merge between the
new object with the form data and the object from the database;
What do you do in these situations? What do you recommend? thanks.

Re: persistence and doubts on usage of hibernate in struts 2
Hard to say where the problem lies without having a look at the DAO code.
Are you using OpenSessionInViewFilter or similar mechanism for lazy loading
in the view? If yes, try setting the param singleSession to false like this:
filter-nameOSIVFilter/filter-name
filter-class
org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.OpenSessionInViewFilter
/filter-class
init-param
param-namesingleSession/param-name
param-valuefalse/param-value
/init-param
Also, you can define the field to be unique in the Hibernate mapping. That
way the object can only be persisted to database if the email field is
unique. Otherwise it will throw a ConstraintViolationException that you can
catch. But the recommended approach is to first try to fix the problems in
the DAO layer.

RE: persistence and doubts on usage of hibernate in struts 2
I think you will get better answer to your question in hibernate mailing
list, as the issue is related to hibernate rather than struts.
To disable 'auto-saving' behavior, you can evict the object from hibernate
session. So in your prepare method, call session.evict(operator).
Then, to save the modifications, you can call saveOrUpdate() or merge.

Kedar

Kedar's example looks really good. Double-check that you've done
everything he's asked
Put a breakpoint inside your interceptor to see if postLoginURL is being
built correctly.
Assist your debugging by forcing it to return redirect every time.
I would have thought the hidden field should have been this though:
s:hidden name=postLoginURL value=%{postLoginURL}/s:hidden
(I have removed the # as # implies a root object rather than a property of the

Invoking action method from javascript
Hello. I've an action that populates a table with some info. In each row,
there's a button to delete the entry and the associated object from the DB.
In my action class I've a list (something like a queue) of the ID that will
be removed after the user clicks on the apply button.
So, all I want to do, is to add each element ID the user selects to the
remove-queue. When the user clicks on the remove icon, a javascript
function is called:
the jsp snippet:
td ')
../pages/Images/edit_remove.png /img
/td
the script inside the JSP.
script type=text/javascript
function addToRemoveList(id){
}
/script
The script is correctly invoked and the paramater ID is correctly passed.
Now i would like to call a method of my action class and to refresh the
page. Something like:
script type=text/javascript
function addToRemoveList(id){
myCurrentAction.addItemToRemove(id)
}
/script
is it possible? thank you very much

Thanks for the advice, ~Dan -Original Message- From: Randy Burgess [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 4:49 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Struts serving both HTML requests and web service? That thread was about exposing business logic used in a S2 app as web services for use in other applications. If you are interested in web services then the CXF site is a good place to start. Personally I wouldn't go to the trouble of creating web services just to use them in an S2 web app. There is an STP Eclipse plugin that will work with CXF but AFAIK there is no direct integration between CXF and Struts 1/2. http://incubator.apache.org/cxf/ Regards, Randy Burgess Sr. Web Applications Developer Nuvox Communications From: Allen, Daniel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Struts Users Mailing List user@struts.apache.org Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2008 14:20:54 -0500 To: Struts Users Mailing List user@struts.apache.org Subject: Struts serving both HTML requests and web service? I saw a thread go by while back about Struts and web services, and someone suggested Spring and CXF. I've got Spring integrated into my Struts (2.0.11) application, but I'm not familiar with CXF at all, nor have I actually ever put together a web service before. Does anyone know of a good guide to integrating those, or an example? Is there a CXF struts plugin? I mostly need the really basic stuff, like the result type for a struts action that would be accessed as a web service. (Or should I just have a separate servlet running on the same server?)

Re: Invoking action method from javascript
you can say, document.location.href = 's:url
action=myRemoveAction?myId=' + myId;
This will cause the whole page to refresh, so you should probably have
a prepare method if you have any data that needs to be populated on
that page (ie your table).
I personally would use Ajax to make the call, having a full page
refresh on each click could be annoying to the user.

Re: Invoking action method from javascript
Thank you. In fact I don't have a removeAction, but only a removeMethod() in
the same action that display and populate the list. Because I don't want to
remove the element from the DB on click, I only want to add the clicked ID
to a remove queue. Then all the remove queue will be processed by a
removeAction when the user confirms the changes. So image a table with rows
and a delete icon for each row. When the user clicks the delete icon of
a row, the ID of the row must be pushed into the queue (a property of my
action) and the row should change color.
I don't want to invoke a removeAction for every click...but I think it's the
only way..isn't it?
I also thought about a solution like:
keep the queue in the session and user a removeAction for each click that
simply add the ID to the queue in the session, and invoke again the
ListAction that populates and list the table...and so on.
In this case I could use s:div with target to refresh only the table.

Re: expression validator
Hi,
yes. this is what i did for one of the project i am bit involved.
1. wrote a custom validator
public class PasswordConfirmValidator extends FieldValidatorSupport {
private static Log log =
LogFactory.getLog(PasswordConfirmValidator.class);
private String fieldName2;
public String getFieldName2() {
return fieldName2;
}
public void setFieldName2(String fieldName2) {
this.fieldName2 = fieldName2;
}
public void validate(Object o) throws ValidationException {
String fieldName = getFieldName();
String val = (String) getFieldValue(fieldName, o);
String val2 = (String)getFieldValue(fieldName2,o);
if (!val.equals(val2)) {
addFieldError(fieldName, o);
}
}
}
2. configured the the customer validator in validators.xml
validator name=passwordconfirm
class=com.xxx.util.validation.PasswordConfirmValidator/
3. add a custom javascript in the form-close-validate.ftl
#elseif validator.validatorType = passwordconfirm
if (field.value != null) {
var value = field.value;
var field2 = form.elements['${validator.fieldName2}'];
var value2 = field2.value;
if (value!=value2) {
addError(field, error);
errors = true;
}
}
4. add a annotation for the field i need to validate.
@CustomValidator(type=passwordconfirm,message = Confirm password
should be same as password.,parameters = { @ValidationParameter( name =
fieldName2, value = password ) })
Thanks,
Nuwan

Re: action security
I was able to use the ParameterNameAware interface after all ... I needed to rebuild my project, it wasn't updating in my workspace for some reason. I have also created a new AnnontationParameterInterceptor, along with a class-level annontation and a field-level annontation. As of now, the annotations just store a boolean value of whether to allow the field to be set, and for the class, what the default policy is for object's fields. Would anyone be interested in this code? Would some of this go in the xwork distribution? I would like to add regular expression support to the class-level annontation, but other than that, I prefer the annotations over the interface/method.

I have recently finished writing a nifty little S2/Db4o web application that allows for quiz taking on your favorite subjects. It randomizes questions, maintains global statistics [so you can quickly see how you rank against everyone else] and will soon have support for tutoring the user on questions missed. I have seen many quiz apps that will calculate correct/missed totals and then kick you out the door, but this one is different. Would you be willing to help me seed it with your top ten puzzlers from this list?

Instead, Struts2 forces you to either use its base classes or, if you choose to use its interfaces, rewrite a lot of plumbing that you shouldn't have to rewrite. As has been pointed out in other threads, suffers from the Fragile Base Class anti-pattern (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragile_base_class). I don't think anyone would claim JSF and Spring-MVC suffer from this problem, and although they do have problems of their own, they're not necessarily fundamental design issues like with Struts2. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Actions-without-extending-ActionSupport--tp15591064p15762345.html Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Struts1 forms with empty Strings

I don't know if this is possible without writing some code, like a request processor; hopefully somebody else knows more. The issue is that a text field on a form returns an empty string, not null: that's an HTTP thing, not Struts specifically. You could also configure Hibernate data types that convert an empty string in to null and handle the problem on the Hibernate side; if you're using the Hibernate code anywhere else it might be more useful to do it that way, but it's borderline magic and might be confusing down the road.

Dead code parser/finder for Struts
Does anyone know if there's a server side library that can parse JSP pages (or the generated Java file) and look for dead Struts code? We subbed out a project and recently took back control of the code due to various issues one of which was very poor code quality. Looking through their JSP pages, we see bean:define tags everywhere for certain properties on the ActionForm bean in question. It is my understanding that this tag is used to define objects that can then be used lower in the JSP page via EL. There may be other features with this tag, but I believe this is the only use in their code. The problem is that we believe that they are abusing these tags and half of the ones that litter the code aren't even actually used and wanted some way to verify this without removing them and then running the webapp to see what breaks.

Re: [OT] Re: Dead code parser/finder for Struts
Dave- Dude, it's bad. They had a team of developers each with varying degrees of experience which ranged from no knowledge of Struts/EL (those developers used.scriptlets.*shudder*) while others used Struts/JSTL tags for almost everything when EL tags would not only have sufficed but made the code cleaner and easier to read. I recognize that there's some duplicity across the Struts tag library and JSTL, but it's like they found one way to do something and just ran with it, even if it meant it wasn't appropriate to use in a given instance. It got so bad at the end, when a bug was filed to fix a validation problem in a form, they just removed the alert box that said there was an error and checked it in as the fix. I know they used MyEclipse and based on the indention (or lack thereof) in the JSP's I suspect they were at least partially computer generated with some type of GUI builder because there's no way someone could write JSPs like that by hand and not go mad.

Re: Struts1 forms with empty Strings
Since Strings are immutable you get a new String whenever an operation is
performed on said String, so that seems to me that you would still get the
empty string.

Re: [friday] Re: Struts2 vs JSF
I have quite a lot of experience with S2 and JSF which I'd like to share. Although on many levels the technologies are different, we have managed to make them work together with profound benefits to each. First a caveat: our use of JSF as served from S2 is in a limited fashion. There are things we haven't tried because we haven't needed them. There may be things which wouldn't work with this technique. Our use is primarily as a reporting engine. We use S2 to manage all the 'control' functions of the MVC cycle. There are no beans or navigation rules in the faces-config file. We have produced a clear separation of the Model functionality from the Struts functions, with Struts merely retrieving the model objects and placing them into Session storage. Then the model objects are queried from a JSP page, which causes the model to 'export' itself to JSF components. The model components have zero getters/setters, except a method 'getData()' which triggers the export process, and returns a jsf 'UIComponent'. The export process consists of creating the JSF 'UIComponent' in code, very similarly to the way you'd make pages in Swing (assuming that you are not using a totally lame graphic page generator). Then the completed component is rendered by a single jsf tag on the page. Any submittals, which in JSF are to some funky url, are redirected by javascript to the correct S2 url. This was the main problem until we figured out how to fix it. When I started designing the app I envisioned using standard JSP functionality to produce the pages, including the use of the S2 tags. However I really hated the S2 tags (I still believe that they are somewhat below horrible in the panoply of functionality). A co-worker suggested working around this with JSF, and as a result the app is much stronger than I ever envisioned. The app does not use the struts-jsf plugin, and also uses tiles, again not using the struts-tiles plugin. We have found that the use of these plugins is really limiting, and we are much better off with independent installations of both these functions in our app. It would be nice to have a good struts-jsf function, but my impression is that there is not much being done with the plugin lately (I could be wrong, of course). As it works out, the configuration of all the services is quite demanding, but perfectly straightforward once you have figured things out. In short, we have had excellent results with JSF with S2. We use the JSF components from Trinidad, and they are first rate - with built in table sorting, paging, etc all using Ajax behind the scenes. S2 is a superior 'Control' component, but not really great at 'View'. With the proper approach, they are perfectly compatible.

Yes, but only for those pages which use S2 view components. We have some pure S2 pages, also some pure JSF pages (but not with S2 Controller fcns), also pure S1 pages, and all pages use Tiles. Quite a complex deployment descriptor, as you might imagine. - Ray C. mgainty wrote: interesting ...can you implement ajax functionality such as theme='ajax' from dojo?

Although on many levels the technologies are different, we have managed to make them work together with profound benefits to each. First a caveat: our use of JSF as served from S2 is in a limited fashion. There are things we haven't tried because we haven't needed them. There may be things which wouldn't work with this technique. Our use is primarily as a reporting engine. We use S2 to manage all the 'control' functions of the MVC cycle. There are no beans or navigation rules in the faces-config file. We have produced a clear separation of the Model functionality from the Struts functions, with Struts merely retrieving the model objects and placing them into Session storage. Then the model objects are queried from a JSP page, which causes the model to 'export' itself to JSF components. The model components have zero getters/setters, except a method 'getData()' which triggers the export process, and returns a jsf 'UIComponent'. The export process consists of creating the JSF 'UIComponent' in code, very similarly to the way you'd make pages in Swing (assuming that you are not using a totally lame graphic page generator). Then the completed component is rendered by a single jsf tag on the page. Any submittals, which in JSF are to some funky url, are redirected by javascript to the correct S2 url. This was the main problem until we figured out how to fix it. When I started designing the app I envisioned using standard JSP functionality to produce the pages, including the use of the S2 tags. However I really hated the S2 tags (I still believe that they are somewhat below horrible in the panoply of functionality). A co-worker suggested working around this with JSF, and as a result the app is much stronger than I ever envisioned. The app does not use the struts-jsf plugin, and also uses tiles, again not using the struts-tiles plugin. We have found that the use of these plugins is really limiting, and we are much better off with independent installations of both these functions in our app. It would be nice to have a good struts-jsf function, but my impression is that there is not much being done with the plugin lately (I could be wrong, of course). As it works out, the configuration of all the services is quite demanding, but perfectly straightforward once you have figured things out. In short, we have had excellent results with JSF with S2. We use the JSF components from Trinidad, and they are first rate - with built in table sorting, paging, etc all using Ajax behind the scenes. S2 is a superior 'Control' component, but not really great at 'View'. With the proper approach, they are perfectly compatible. (Too bad Shale seems moribund). - Ray Clough [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Dave Newton [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Struts Users Mailing List user@struts.apache.org Subject: Re: [friday] Re: Struts2 vs JSF Date: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 14:24:26 -0800 (PST) --- Musachy Barroso [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Search for Snatch fight in youtube, and you will get a felling of what Struts 2 would do to JSF in a fight :) I was *really* scared to see what that would bring up (snatch, in the US, is a somewhat derogatory term for... uh... female parts).

Re: about current action name acsess
Thanks to you
and also thanks to kedar for great logic
but i dont know why postLoginURL remains empty in my case
so i have choose way of session it works fine right now but i dont know
about future problems of it
i have done like this
Inside interceptor i wrote
if (!isAuthenticated) {
String urlGoingTo = actionInvocation.getProxy().getNamespace()+/+
actionInvocation.getProxy().getActionName()+.do;
session.put( actionurl, urlGoingTo);
struts.xml
--
action name=Login_* method={1} class=authentic.Login
result name=input/Login.jsp/result
result name=cancel type=redirect-actionWelcome/result
result type=redirect-actionMainMenu/result
result name=redirect
type=redirect${session.actionurl}/result
interceptor-ref name=guest/
/action
---
Login.java
-
if(session.get(actionurl) != null !session.get(actionurl).equals())
{
return redirect;
}
return SUCCESS;
Thanks

Re: about current action name acsess
After Inspecting postLoginURL I have found that entry of ctx hashtable PostLoginURL remains in it but it can not come at Login.java(getter and setter of PostLoginURL) so i think some thing missing in it or wrong at login.jsp so value can not come after submitting form at login.java -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/about-current-action-name-acsess-tp15736383p15773060.html Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
