PROBLEM SOLVED - Re: problem with showing ActionMessages
First of all, thank you all for replying. Jeff you are right, invalid.login was put into the WRONG PROPERTIES file. I moved the projects around, and a new Properties file was created, however, the struts-config.xml was not updated with the location of the new properties file, instead, the old one was being used. How did I find this out? I decided to try the latest 1.x struts - the 1.3.8 - and, 1.3.8 does NOT terminate ungracefully like 1.2 - it actually said in the rendered message that I am missing a property.. Once again, thanks to everyone that helped... Cheers, Alex.

problem with showing ActionMessages
Hi there,
I am having some really stupid issues -- I am using Struts 1.2, and I have
an action
that does the following:
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
ActionMessages messages = new ActionMessages();
messages.add(ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE,new ActionMessage(
invalid.login));
saveMessages(request, messages);
return mapping.findForward(failure);
}
The relevant JSP section looks like this:
logic:messagesPresent message=true
tr
td colspan=2font color=redbean:message key=errorTitle
//font
/td
/tr
html:messages message=true id=my_messages
tr
tdnbsp;nbsp;/td
tdfont color=redbean:write name=my_messages
//font/td
/tr
/html:messages
/logic:messagesPresent
All resources keys are available etc... When the Action executes, I get the
following:
2007-06-20 00:06:52.051::WARN: Nested in javax.servlet.ServletException:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot find bean my_messages in any scope:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot find bean my_messages in any scope
at org.apache.struts.taglib.TagUtils.lookup(TagUtils.java:934)
at org.apache.struts.taglib.bean.WriteTag.doStartTag(WriteTag.java:225)
The error appears to be around the bean:write name=my_messages / tag.
If I replace the bean:message tag with just a XX string,
the XX appears, and there are no exceptions...
So, WHAT GIVES?? I have tried just about everything at this point, and am
getting desperate...
Thanks, Alex.
how to enable/disable validation
Hi there, I would like to be able to programatically control weather I am doing validation or not. For example, I have validate=true in my struts-config file, but, I would like to be able to decide myself in code (in a Filter, or controller??) if the validation should actually be done.. How can this be done?? Thanks, alex.
Re: question: how to support both MVC and Struts?
I believe that it must have some sort of an extension, so as to accomodate the processing by the Action servlet. It does not have to be a .do, but it must have some sort of an extension -- this get set-up in the web.xml file in the WEB-INF directory...

validation question...
Hi there, I am currently using the struts validator, and it is working pretty good. My basic error block looks like this: logic:messagesPresent table tr td colspan=2font color=redbean:message key=errorTitle //font/td /tr html:messages id=error tr tdnbsp;nbsp;/td tdfont color=redbean:write name=error //font/td /tr /html:messages /table /logic:messagesPresent As I said, it loks fairly simple and it works.

For my password confirmation field, wnen I put html:errors property=confirm_password/ beside the text field, I get the WHOLE STRING for the 'required' validation, instead, I would like to display only a *. I tried html:errors property=confirm_password*/html:errors But that does not work, because html:errors tag does not take a body... Any ideas? Thanks, Alex.

I think that JAAS roles would be way too much of an overkill for me... Definitely not JAAS. And in my case, not even Container-Managed Security (though it pretends to be). :) I have Struts Menu configured to use the result of calling request.isUserInRole() to decide whether to display a menu item. This is as simple as using the magic value 'rolesAdapter' in the tag, which causes it to use its RolesPermissionsAdapter: menu:useMenuDisplayer name=TabbedMenu bundle=org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE permissions=rolesAdapter ... I didn't look closely, but I'm fairly sure you can plug in a different PermissionsAdapter if you need to. In my case, authorization info is stored in a database [that does not easily speak JDBC] underneath a 3rd party telnet app. I have a Filter in front of the webapp that gets the authorization info out of the database, places a 'User' object in the session, and then wraps the request and overrides isUserInRole(). To do this right you'd probably want to override getUserPrincipal as well-- in fact if you can wait a bit, I *think* Frank has in mind to add a generic, configurable version of this idea to his Java Web Parts project. -- Wendy Smoak - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

struts and multi-level access - please give me your ideas how to restructure..
Hi there, I have an application that I am working on that requires two different role levels (administrator and user). The administrator, will have some extra links visible to them. I want to use only one struts-config file. I am currently running into a scalability issue -- here is what I mean: action path=/someAction ... forward name=a_success path=someAdministratorPath.def !-- I am using tiles -- forward name=u_success path=someUserPath.def !-- I am using tiles -- /aciton The someAdministratorPath.def has a jsp with different kind of a menu structure - for administrators only, and someUserPath.def has a jsp with a subset of different menu structures -- the only real difference between the two .def files is a single jsp. Somehow the above seems awkward and unscalable to me, and I am afraid I will run into a problem later. I know that I can probably put in some c:if statements in one of the JSPs, and there discriminate between a User and Administrator, but somehow, that seems like a band-aid solution. If you have any idea on how to restructure this thing, please let me know. Thanks, Alex.

embedding forms
Hi there,
I am having a problem, trying to embed one ValidatorForm inside of another
--- specifically this is the situation:
I have a class InstitutionForm and a class DnaForm -- I am trying to do the
following
public class InstitutionForm extends ValidatorForm {
private DnaForm dnaForm;
private String institution_name;
public String getInstitution_name() {
return institution_name;
}
public void setInstitution_name(String institution_name) {
this.institution_name = institution_name;
}
public DnaForm getDnaForm() {
return dnaForm;
}
public void setDnaForm(DnaForm dnaForm) {
this.dnaForm = dnaForm;
}
}
public class DnaForm extends ValidatorForm {
private String first_name;
public String getFirst_name() {
return first_name;
}
public void setFirst_name(String first_name) {
this.first_name = first_name;
}
}
In my JSP, I have the following:
html:form action=/processRequestAccess method=POST
table border=1
tr
tdbean:message key=institution-name //td
tdhtml:text property=institution_name //td
tdbean:message key=title //td
td/td
/tr
tr
tdbean:message key=address1 //td
td/td
tdbean:message key=first-name //td
tdhtml:text property=dnaForm.first_name //td !-- DOESN'T LIKE THIS
--
/tr
.
/html:form
the rendered JSP produces this:

I am using JBoss 4.x
It is obvious, that the jsp rendering does not 'like' the
dnaForm.first_name--- is there a decent way of embedding these
Validatorform, one inside of
the other,
or should I just do a InstutionForm extends DnaForm instead??

Re: running tomcat on port 80[Scanned]
Hi Tony, try something like this: ps -ef | grep httpd this will show you where the process is running (from which directory) -- to shut down this process, become root, and you should have somewhere in your computer the apachectl program -- do a ./apachectl stop from the directory where this file (apachectl) is located.

Re: File shared among several project...
I like the idea of 4 separate spaces, and 'moving around' miscalenous files (such as CSS, GIF and others) should not hold you back. Presumably for such a large project, you are using ANT to facilitate builds etc. You should be able to modify your scripts so that it also copies these files around to all four EARs (assuming here that there are not hundreds and hundreds of these miscalenous files). Four separate EARs is the way to og in my opinion. Cheers, Aleksandar.

Until now, all these areas are developped into a same WSAD project and packaged into a single EAR that we deploy. The weakness of this solution is that we need to stop all the 4 areas when we have made an update on just one area. Our goal will be to be able to only stop the area(s) that have to be updated to not disturb users of the others areas. We have though about have 4 project in WSAD but the BIG weakness of this is that it required to have common files (CSS, javascript) shared among these project (so we have to copy and paste them into each project at each update)seels to be really heavy! So I have just two or three questions: Are we on the right solution by having one project by area? (in this case, how to handle shared files simply?) Or may I should have only one project in WSAD and generate 4 EARs behind? do you think this will be possible?? Thanks in advance for your help
Re: running tomcat on port 80
The easiest way to find out what is realy going on is -- telnet localhost 80 If you don't get an error, it means some other process on your machine is running on TCP 80. Do you have some kind of a 'personal web server' enabled by default? If some process does answer on TCP 80 try typing in (in your valid telnet session from above) GET index.html HTTP/1.1 It will probably fail, but from the response back, you will have some idea of which process has TCP 80...

Re: Storing data in session scope
What I would do is, create an index.html, and inside of that index.html, do redirect to a struts action... For example: META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT=0; URL=firstAction.do Then, in your struts, the action mapped through firstAction.do can load up the session with your TAX info... Another way would be to create a Filter class, which will get called every time, and if a session object inside of its chain method is empty (null), then, it knows that it is being called the first time, and then the Filter class would create the session object, and put a value TAX inside of it...
