Re: CSS background images, struts2

2009-08-04 Thread Andy Engle
I made my CSS files out of JSPs, like so:

<%@ page contentType="text/css"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"; prefix="c" %>

body {
  background-color: #ECEDF1;
  font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Geneva,Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;
  background-image: url();
  margin-top: 0px;
  padding: 0;
}

And then called them like this:

" 
type="text/css">

Who cares if it's ugly or whatever; I don't have broken images in my apps 
anymore.  :)

Oh. That feels s dirty!!!

There has to be a cleaner way to do it.

Jetty / Apache / mod_proxy config with sslext

2009-05-04 Thread Andy Engle

Hi all,

I am using sslext in my Struts application to support http/https, and 
attempting to get all this to run on a Jetty server behind an Apache 2 web 
server.  The application runs fine, but I am really running into trouble with 
my configuration, particularly since sslext forwards to the specified http (or 
https) port.  This seems to almost always lead to a redirect loop error.  Here 
is how I have my configuration setup:

In my app (I'll call it 'sa' here), I have the http port is set to 80, with 
https set to 443 (all this is setup in struts-config.xml).  In my httpd.conf, I 
have setup the following, which is the same in httpd-ssl.conf:

ProxyPass /sa  http://localhost:8080/sa
ProxyPassReverse  /sa  http://localhost:8080/sa

Jetty is running on port 8080.  With the configuration above, requests going to 
/sa are routed to Jetty, both for http and https requests.  This is where the 
trouble begins; sslext forwards to port 80, but then that forwards back to 8080 
for Jetty, and so on and so on.  However, if I set my http/https ports to 
8080/8443 in my struts app, then my links are shown as 
http://server:8443/link.do in my web pages, which then does not utilize port 
443 as desired (similarly for 8080).

Anybody have any good ideas on how to get around this issue?


Thanks,
Andy


PS: I apologize if this is more a Tomcat/config question, but it seems this 
issue is caused mainly by sslext.

Displaytag, number formatting, and sorting

2005-01-06 Thread Andy Engle
Hi all,

I am using displaytag, and I would like to have a sortable column of
large numbers.  I want to format these numbers (they're going to be
dollar amounts, like 1,400.00, 6.99, and the like), but it seems that I
cannot have the fancy number formatting and have that column sortable
all at the same time.  I either get a sortable column of numbers that
look like this:

1400.00
33938.39
3450984530.83
.99

...or a non-sortable column of nicely formatted numbers, like this:

1,400.00
33,938.39
3,450,984,530.83
.99

Has anyone been able to get the number formatting and the sorting to
work together?  If so, please tell me what I'm doing wrong.  I've tried
bean:write with a formatKey, html-el:rewrite, and whatever else to no
avail.

Thank you very much!

RE: Displaying bean values within tiles

2004-08-13 Thread Andy Engle
Ok, let me get this straight.  I'll go down the list and you see if I
have each step correct:

1. Put a string in some scope, like the request scope:

request.setAttribute("thispagetitle", results.getWhatever());


2. In my "results" page, I want the title of that page to be the value
that I sent back as "thispagetitle", so I will do this:



Which will put the value of "thispagetitle" into "pagetitle".


3. Then, in my template file, whatever is put into "pagetitle" will be
displayed:

Results: 

...which should display getWhatever() in step #1.


Is that the way this thing works?

Thank you for your help!

Displaying bean values within tiles

2004-08-13 Thread Andy Engle
Hi all,

I hate to ask a real, boring, non-OT question on a Friday, but I am
working with a Struts application in which I am using tiles to organize
my views.  What I want to be able to do is pass in a bean with a String
(or, "string beans" for all you farmer types out there) into my tiles
setup and have that value displayed in my view.

I have my tiles definitions in tiles-defs.xml, and of course I have a
file template.jsp which handles my layout.

I have horsed around with using the  tag with the
String value, but I can't seem to get that to work -- for the page I
want to display it on, it either displays the default value for the
page as I have it set in tiles-defs.xml, or it doesn't print anything
at all.  I suppose my question could/should be how and where would I
use this useAttribute tag, as it seems to be the solution to my
problem.

Thanks for your help, and I look forward to receiving your responses.


Best Regards,
Andy

Hi Josh.  I always thought a lot of the JPetStore demo found on the
iBatis web site (http://www.ibatis.com/jpetstore/jpetstore.html), and
then of course Rick Reumann's "Struttin' With Struts" site is pretty
stellar as well (http://www.reumann.net/do/struts/main).  I have
learned a lot from those two sites, and still refer to code I got there
from time to time.  Also, Ted Husted has good stuff on his site at
http://husted.com/struts/index.html, and also the example code and
documentation on the Struts web site is also quite useful.

Of course, there are many other good sites that have good code on them
for your benefit, but these are the ones that seem to have been the
most helpful to me.  Hopefully they'll be helpful to you as well.

MySQL, iBatis, and mysql_insert_id

2004-06-03 Thread Andy Engle
Hi all,

I am working on a Struts app where I will be slapping some stuff into a
database table, and from there I will need to get an insert ID back.  I
am using a MySQL database, my database stuff is handled by iBatis, and
I am assuming that I need to use the MySLQ command mysql_insert_id() to
get that ID back so I can use it on secondary inserts which will need
that ID as a key.

Has anyone ever done anything like this before?  If not, what sorts of
methods did you use in this scenario to accomplish this?

Thanks very much for your help, as always.

From bean into "for" loop

2004-05-24 Thread Andy Engle
Hi all,

I am trying to do something as simple as writing a FOR loop with some
information that I have in a bean, but this is proving to be quite a
bit more cumbersome and difficult than I thought it would be.  For some
reason, everything I try seems to fail.  Here is a short example of
what I'm trying to do:

<% for(int i = 0; i < ${productData.someCount}; i++) {  %>
   // Write my text here
<% } %>

What am I missing here?  If you could help me I'd appreciate it --
enough time wasted on this thing already.

With this discussion in mind, I am wondering if there is any way I can
use an ActionForm in the following scenario: I would like to have a
list of fields, dynamically created, with names that have been
dynamically created along with those fields.  So, for example, I would
have a series of input fields like this:





The "field_" part of the name value will stay, but the number will
change.  With these field name values being so dynamic, is there any
trick I can use to feed all this into an ActionForm?  I don't think
there is, unless I am missing something...

iBatis caching not working

2004-04-01 Thread Andy Engle
Hi all,

I can't get iBatis caching to work for anything.  Worse yet, it seems
that I am doing what the error messages tell me to fix, but still
nothing.  The message I have been getting is:

org.jdom.JDOMException: Error on line 9: Attribute "implementation"
must be declared for element type "cache-model".

But I have "implementation" specified, as follows:

  





  

Also, I have tried replacing "LRU" with
"com.ibatis.db.sqlmap.cache.lru.LruCacheController", but I still get
the same problem.  Is there some other way I have to "declare" my
implementation?!

I have ibatis-db.jar and ibatis-sqlmap.jar in my /WEB-INF/lib
directory, but that hasn't seemed to matter.

What could I be doing wrong?  Thanks in advance for your help.

Handling parameters not in a form bean

2004-03-30 Thread Andy Engle
Hi all,

I am wondering if there is a way that I can access submitted form
information in an action that may not be a member of any form bean?  Do
name/value pairs submitted to an action *have* to be in a form bean? 
If they don't, how could they be accessed?

I have a situation where my application will have a bunch of input
fields, with names that begin with "prod_", and end with a number, like
"prod_12", "prod_20", and so on.  Putting all these "prod_"s in a huge
formbean would be a pain, and it would be easier to just grab them
directly.  But everything I try seems to fail.  Any suggestions would
be appreciated.
