It provides nice convenience methods, a way to transparently manage Sessions, Datasources, etc, declarative transactions, etc. You can use it WITH struts (you don't really do a persistence layer in struts do you?).

Re: Struts Studio - Anyone using it?
I bought a previous version (5.0). It works as advertised. But in reality, I find Struts pretty easy to use, and thought that it was just as easy to had configure everything. Its nice to see the diagrams to visualize what's going on. The only complaint about the diagrams is that it was difficult to see at a glance what ActionForms (if any) were assigned to an action. I see they are running a special for $99, which sounds like a good deal. I tend to just use UML to diagram, as MagicDraw has support for UML Web Extensions, and actually has Struts extensions as well (I don't think they are a standard or anything, but it makes it easy to document and design). If you already have a UML tool such as MagicDraw or Posseidon, you may want to look at AndroMDA (URL not handy, but its easily google'd).

Re: ActionForm data type X BeanUtils -> using Dates
The custom converter is done independently of the action, form or DTO.
First step is to implement the interface
org.apache.commons.beanutils.Converter.
Keep in mind that the converter you are writing uses the appropriate
converter for the original class. So, if you were converting from a
String to a Date, you would create a String converter. And vice versa,
if you were converting from a Date to a String you would create a Date
converter. Example below
Then, to override the standard converters, you call:
ConvertUtils.register(, .class);
First parameter is your new converter, and the second is the class its
used for. I call this in a static initializer of a utility class, you
just need to make sure its called before any validations occur, and it
only needs to be done once.
Since we are interested in customizing conversions from String to Date,
I override the String converter:
public class StringConverter implements Converter{
public Object convert(Class type, Object value) {
Object returnObj = null;
if (value != null) {
if (value instanceof Date){
returnObj = dateFormatter.format((Date)value);
} else if (value instanceof BigDecimal){
returnObj = decimalFormatter.format((BigDecimal)value);
} else {
returnObj = value.toString();
}
}
return returnObj;
}
}
I've left out some properties, their getters and setters, but I think
you get the gist of what I'm doing. Now, I register this converter as such:
ConvertUtils.register(new StringConverter(), String.class);
I actually have a utility class, where the register is done in the
static initializer. I suppose another way would be to use a servlet that
loads prior to Struts.. Or if your Actions have a base class, etc...
Maybe there's a more elegant way of doing that. This is what I've come
up with. If someone has a better way, post please, I'm always looking
for more elegant ways of accomplishing stuff like this.

I got a jsp where the user must input a date in the following format. Date: dd/mm/ That's how we use dates in Brazil: the day, month and year. I'd like to make a validation if the user input the date in the correct manner in the ActionForm (i'm using traditional validation and the user input comes in a String). So, keeping in mind the variou ways of doing this date validation (even the deprecated ones), how should a do the date validation Which one is the best way???

In Outlook, when you delete a message, it only marks the message for deletion. It will still display in your inbox, but with a line through it. Unless you Purge Deleted Messages, it will stay in your inbox (just marked for deletion). Therefore, the message never gets into your Deleted Items folder (I have my IMAP server setup to move items to the Trash folder when they are purged). Check in the Outlook newsgroups, its a known "issue" with people who use Outlook with IMAP. The only response you ever get from Outlook support is "you have to manually purge".

Re: ARRRGGGGHHHH!!! I'm being stupid again....
Jim Barrows wrote: -Original Message- From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bill Siggelkow Jim, I know it seems like its unrelated but its really not ... when you create an element you are really defining an instance of ActionMapping (which extends ActionConfig). One of the "properties" of the ActionMapping is the type of the Action. Another is the path, whether to validate or not -- etc. If anything, the confusion lies in the name of the element -- it might be less confusing (but more verbose) it it were . WHat I was trying to do, was create a generic wizard action class, and use the set-property to set the maximum number of pages in the wizard, and be able to use that setup for multiple different wizards. Setting that value per action would have been perfect. Have you considered using Spring? Works well with Struts, and allows you to inject values like that. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: How to stop the first validation when a web page first displays?
This is similar to the issue I had last night. What was suggested to me,
and it worked, was to turn automatic validation off by specifying
validate=false in the action mapping, and manually validating in my
DispatchAction.
PC Leung wrote:
The web page displays at the first time with the following error.
java.lang.NullPointerException
java.text.SimpleDateFormat.parse(SimpleDateFormat.java:1108)
java.text.DateFormat.parse(DateFormat.java:333)
com.erp.quotation.AddUserProfileForm.getSqlJoinDate(AddUserProfileForm.java:68)
com.erp.quotation.AddUserProfileForm.validate(AddUserProfileForm.java:80)
org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processValidate(RequestProcessor.java:942)
When it first displays, I want it to show with a token.
Then I make a setup DispatchAction like the following.
public final class AddUserProfileAction extends DispatchAction {
public ActionForward setup (ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception {
saveToken(request);
return mapping.findForward("success");
}
How it get a validation error message?
Actually submit button has not been clicked.

Validating manually also gives you the nice advantage of being able to set up any lists or other objects you need in request scope if valdiation fails. Bryce, an example of it might look like: Thanks. That clarifies what I was thinking. And it makes a lot of sense (Thanks also to David Friedman, didn't want you to think I didn't appreciate your feedback even though I didn't respond to your email). - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks for your quick response Vic. Do you mean manually calling it in
the DispatchAction class (I think that's what you mean, but I didn't
want to assume)?

Re: Recommend Struts Plugins for Eclipse?
> Struts Studio. The best... Struts Studio is ok. My only issue is that about a year ago, I bought it. Since then, they've had 2 paid updates. That's a lot of dough. I haven't bothered to update to 6.x yet, as I cannot see any benefits. I'm currently looking at NitroX from M7. Has some nice features that Struts Studio doesn't have, such as a visual editor for JSP, code completion and validation of form bean properties on the JSP page, etc... -- Bryce Fischer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The file exists in the above > parameter definition. I am puzzled! Well, one thing that always gets me where you actually put the resource file. For example, I specify this in my struts-config.xml: so, in my web application directory I have the following: /WEB-INF/resources/application.properties. Struts treats your parameter like its a package and class declaration (its relative to the WEB-INF). Think of it as a class resources.application. if you had a class com.test, then it would be located com/test.class so in your case above, you'd have /WEB-INF/ca/ulaval/fsa/drdb/struts12/resources.properties Don't know if this was your problem, but I figured I'd throw it out there. -- Bryce Fischer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
