My reading of the code is that with reset="true", the property will be blanked-out on every request. Our solution (which seems to be working, so at this point, this is just an academic discussion) was to do the following: 1. Use reset="POST" -- we have a lot of GET-follows-POST semantics 2. Make sure the form element is included on every page of the flow Now, #2 wasn't tough to do because all of our multi-page flows are coded this way no matter what the scope of the form bean: we want to be able to recover from a session-timeout without losing all the work the user has put into filling it out. So, basically, we just had to do #1 above and we were good to go. Is that recommended technique in these cases where checkboxes need to be reset? >> I would have figured that DynaValidatorBean would be sensitive to the >> current "page" of the flow and only reset properties with a page number >> at or higher than the currently-being-submitted page > > I'm not aware of any page number/flow functionality in S1, but I > stopped using it around 1.2.9--is flow functionality something from > 1.3, or did I just miss it altogether? The validation framework understands the "page number" in order to perform up-to-page-N validation, but I'm not sure the form itself has any notion of the page numbering. Since DynaValidatorForm is tied-into the validation framework, I wasn't sure if there were any super-smarts there or not.

Yeah, it really is a PITA. My review of an S2 book a while back got me all excited about all the really great stuff in S2: IMO, it's the way things should have been all along -- but nobody knew any better at the time. Too bad "upgrade to a largely incompatible library" isn't a real driving requirement for a product. :( Thanks, - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk37s3AACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCyaQCgpBg+yz75uW0XdkS13brdccGL 3HgAoL+rP4278HbhQ0qbKD+UaEX8KMWQ =wSq9 -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org

[s1,validation] Multi-page flow, session-scoped DynaValidatorForm with checkbox
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 All, I can't believe I've been working with Struts for nearly 10 years and I'm only now attempting to use a multi-page flow with a form bean in the session. Of course, I'm having difficulty with checkboxes. Our (simplified) flow looks something like this: P1 -> A1 ---> P2 -> A2 ---> Done "P1" contains a checkbox called "emailNotification". The bean is defined with a The "Done" page would like to use the value of that form property to decide (you guessed it) whether or not to notify someone via email. The problem is that if we check the box and submit to A2 (then show P2), then go back (either browser-BACK or using our "previous" button in the flow), then re-submit to A2, the form property in the bean stays set to "true" (or whatever value we're using). I've been looking at the "reset" attribute of the element in struts-config.xml and, at first glance, it looks promising. Reading the code, however, it looks like setting reset="true" will end up re-setting the form property to null (or blank string) upon every request, meaning that my multi-page flow will have to repeat that form element on every page. I would have figured that DynaValidatorBean would be sensitive to the current "page" of the flow and only reset properties with a page number at or higher than the currently-being-submitted page (if you ignore the chicken-in-the-egg problem of inspecting the request before resetting the form before ... inspecting the request). Is my analysis above correct? What is the recommended technique when dealing with multi-page, session-scoped dynamic forms?

@RequiredStringValidator annotation key
Hi,
I would like to know how to pass parameter to a message stored in resource
bundle in @RequiredStringValidator annotation
Example
@RequiredStringValidator(key="userkey")
public String getUsername() {
return username;
}
and in resource bundle it is like something
userkey = {0} {1} some message
problem here is that @RequiredStringValidator takes only "key" that lookup
in resorce bundle, but there is no provision to make key with some
placeholder like {0}
Please reply if anyone came across this scenario.
Thanks.

Re: Problem with configured action method names and Testing Framework - Action Testing with configured method names is broken in struts-2.2.3
Of course I configured a method with the same name and returning String?!? But this is about using the action test framework of struts on actions configured with a method name in the XML instead of using the default execute() (which I use as a workaround now) So changing the names I use in the xml configuration should have nothing to do with it, as the reflection code only seems to be able to find the execute() method which is part of the action interface. I have been deep in this with the debugger and I am actually pretty sure by now that this is a defect in the testing framework which has not been addressed yet.

Re: getText on XSLT transformation on an Action
Just remember that one of the more expensive parts of using XSLT is compiling the XSL StyleSheet. So using a dynamic StyleSheet will come with a cost. Another option would be to extend the XslResult to somehow provide dynamic data during the translation. Possibly as an XSL Extension, or at least using the setParameter mechanism.

Well, the XML comes from an external provider through a webservice, so I would prefer otheer solution...if possible.

The XML is typically the dynamic part with the XSL being static (so that it can be parsed and cached for efficiency). Why not include a section in the XML with the replacement text, then reference the strings using XPath?
