Re: javascript validation in struts
Hi Jonathan. A quick "dissection" of the code you posted might clarify some of your doubts.. onsubmit="return validateSigninForm(this)" * This piece of code calls a dynamically generated JavaScript function that's created when the page is rendered (for this to happen you have to include within the JSP containing the form.) As you can see, the function name is composed of three parts: "validate", which is a default value, + "Signin", which is the name of your form and the name specified in the tag, + "Form", which is another default value. action="signin" * This is just the Action name that's defined in struts-config.xml for this JSP an its associated Form bean. method="post"> * You also know what this is :^) The validating JavaScript functions containing the different kinds of validation for a given form are generated within the JSP code (although you can override this default behavior. See http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/struts-html.html#javascript). You should check the examples included in the Struts distribution to verify this (view source of JSP's after the browser renders'em). On every submit the JavaScript validation routines are called for every field participating in the validation process. Hope it helps...

Re: Best approach to implement date dropdown
Good mornign Ben...
I've settled for the quick & easy solution: there are lots of JavaScript
scripts that can handle date selection boxes :^) The thing is I don't know
much about Velocity :^(
As for the validation, with the Validator Framework (VF) you can validate
that the dates entered/selected by the user are valid dates (i.e. dates in a
specific format [pattern]) You can also combine the VF with ValidatorForm's
validate() method to check date ranges or any other complex date validation.
I'm not shure why you'd want to use a "date bean" in the form of a
DynaValidatorForm, maybe you could comment more on your intended solution...

Subject: Best approach to implement date dropdown
Hi
I am using Struts with Velocity as a replacement to JSP. I would like
to implement a date drop down list and love to hear your opinions on
the best way to implement it.
I like to have something like these on my ActionForms and use
ValidatorPlugin to validate the data:
[MM] [DD] []
Or
From [MM] [DD] [] to [MM] [DD] []
I am planning to create two DynaValidatorForm: DateForm and
TimePeriodForm. Something like these:
DateForm {
Integer month;
Integer day;
Integer year;
}
TimePeriodForm {
DateForm start = new DateForm();
DateForm end = new DateForm();
}
So in my form, I can call them as timeperiod.start.month,
timeperiod.start.day and timeperiod.start.year, etc...
My concern is how to validate the data and make sure the start date
less than the end date.
I am looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks,
Ben

Re: Pre-populating a form from a database
However, I can't get the action to trigger when I go to the form
initially.
I am a bit lost on this one even though I'm trying to understand these
tutorials.
One of the solutions I've implemented is to create an intermediate action
that loads data from a database, populates de ActionForm, and directs the
user to the apropiate JSP.
One way to achive almost "automagically" ActionForm population (and to
obtain DTO's from ActionForm data) is through Jakarta Commons Beanutils. I'm
supposed to add a mini-how-to to Commons Wiki but day-time job keeps me busy
even @ night :^P So here's an extract:
"* Since I'm using Struts in my current J2EE project one of my concerns was
to find a way to transfer data between the presentation layer and the data
layer. From the Struts part I have ActionForms and from the data persistence
part I have Value Objects and CMP Entity Beans.
* According to Ted Husted's "Struts in Action" (2003, Manning) there are
several strategies to transfer values between tiers. I was using one that
relies on "factory methods" ("A helper method encapsulates, instantiates,
and populates a business tier bean."), but including such methods in my
ActionForms to instantiate, populate, and return a specific value object
brought along (at least to me) messy code to handle data type conversions
and validations, moreover, as Ted points it "This strategy binds the
ActionForm to the business-tier type". Of course there are advantages to
this approach, but the use of reflection -as I hope you'll see- is a cleaner
and safer path, and introduces very little overhead.
* For the sake of simplicity in my ActionForms I only have string
properties -even though users "see" and save String, Date, Integer, Boolean,
Timestamp, and Float values. Considering that the BeanUtils methods can
convert data between Strings and native types this seemed like a good
decision. If you have "exotic" data types,s you'll have to implement "bridge
methods" to keep data type conversion transparent (I'll show a rather simple
example later)
Having described some of my scenario, here's what I did:
1. Following commons-beanutils JavaDocs' two-step recipe, I wrote a class
that implemented the Converter interface. Within this class the convert()
method should accept theclass that you want to convert to, and a String
representing the incoming value to be converted. I had to go through this
first step because from the user perspective dates are handled in dd-mm-
format but they go into the database as an SQL DATE value, using -mm-dd
format. To implement the Converter interface I kind of cheated because I
grabbed commons-beanutils source code and peek into the default
SqlDateConverter class code (written by Mr. Craig R. McClanahan) What I did
next was re-implement the convert() method to add code within the try to
"reverse" the date format, like this:
int year,month,day;
String userDate = (String) value;
year = Integer.parseInt(userDate.substring(6));
month = Integer.parseInt(userDate.substring(3,5));
day = Integer.parseInt(userDate.substring(0,2));
GregorianCalendar dbDate = new GregorianCalendar(year, month-1, day);
Date correctDate = new Date(dbDate.getTimeInMillis());
return (correctDate);
NOTE: there are default converters that use Locale objects, if you need
something more refined (you can "load" them during App startup an
define -depending on the constructor you use- the default values to be
returned)
2. The next step in the recipe is to "register an instance of your converter
class by calling the ConvertUtils.register() method". It is suggested that
this be done at application startup time, and since I already had a
ServletContext Listener I just added the following lines in the
contextInitialized method:
appContext.log("Registering MyOwnSqlDateConverter...");
ConvertUtils.register(new MyOwnSqlDateConverter(),java.sql.Date.class);
appContext.log("MyOwnSqlDateConverter registered...");
As you can imagine, for every String to java.sql.Date conversion that takes
place in the application the converter to use will be the one I'm providing
in step 1 and registering in step 2.
3. Finally, to populate ActionForms and create Value Objects you should add
some simple methods:
public void populateFormFromValueObjectData(Object vo) throws Exception
{
try {
BeanUtils.copyProperties(this, vo);
} catch (Throwable t) {
throw new PopulateSolicitudDataException(t);
}
}
and
public SomeValueObject getSomeValueObjectFromFormData() throws Exception
{
SomeValueObject svo = new SomeValueObject();
try {
BeanUtils.copyProperties(svo, this);
} catch (Throwable t) {
throw new PopulateSolicitudVOException(t);
}
return svo;
}
In both cases, "this" references the ActionForm. In the first method,
BeanUtils.copyProperties(this, vo) copy property values from the origin bean
(vo) to the destination be

Re: [HOW TO? ImageButtonBeanManager Extension]
I think I got it Mr. McGrady! I went for the DispatchUtil approach and as
far as I've tested it with a simple-no-validations-yet-three-step wizard
things look promising. I can even "feel" a boost in the page navigation

offers (LookupDispatchAction, for instance) I'll move to my "real" project
and post any interesting finds in the next days.
Regarding the page polishing, I could craft a step-by-step tutorial with

that seems OK with you, I could also look for typos in the current docs to

Re: [HOW TO? ImageButtonBeanManager Extension]
Good morning.
Thanks to Mr. McGrady for his suggestion. I think the persistent nature of
the need to handle multiple (image) buttons in web applications is precisely
what makes this problem so recurrent ;^)
I've moved from the 'ImageButtonBeanManager Extension' approach and decided
to try to get SOLUTION TWO up & running but I've ran into a few problems and
thought that maybe you could spare some time to help me out.
Issue #1
---
- In the SOLUTON ONE: DispatchUtil Solution Code the 'log' variable
declaration is as follows: protected static Log log =
LogFactory.getLog(DispatchUtil.class);
- In the SOLUTION TWO: (new) DispatchAction Solution Code the 'log' variable
declaration is as follows: protected static Log log =
LogFactory.getLog(SimpleDispatchAction.class);
* My first question is: In the second 'log' variable declaration, Where does
SimpleDispatchAction.class comes from? Shouldn't it read
DispatchAction.class?
Issue #2
---
- I have a class that extends my (new) DispatchAction class. Within this
class I have coded the methods that will perform the actions referenced by
the buttons in my forms, i.e.
public ActionForward [ next | back | finish ] (
ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception
{ ... }
- In my JSP forms, every button is defined like this:
* My second question is kinda stupid: What's next? I mean, It seems like I
can use struts-config.xml to get things working MappingDispatchAction style
or LookupDispatchAction style, but since the (new) DispatchAction (aka
DispatchUtil) takes care of things transparently, What would be the next
step to implement SOLUTION TWO?
Issue #3
---
* I don't get what this means :^( [Section 3.1. Action Class Code to Use]
"In all the following tag uses, you use the Action class code in
execute(...) or process(...) as given directly below.
ActionForward = forward = new
DispatchUtil().dispatch(this,mapping,form,request,response);"
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have a nice day!

Carlos

[HOW TO? ImageButtonBeanManager Extension]
Hi. I'm tryin' to add this Strust extension to my project and from the documentation I understand that what I need to do is create my Action Flow using the SubmitButtonForwardDispatchAction, but after coding my Action Form and Action classes and setting up struts-config.xml I keep getting this error: 2004-09-23 19:10:08,062 DEBUG [org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor] Looking for Action instance for class com.mitranosoft.struts.actions.SubmitButtonForwardDispatchAction 2004-09-23 19:10:08,062 DEBUG [org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor] Creating new Action instance 2004-09-23 19:10:08,156 WARN [com.mitranosoft.struts.actions.SubmitButtonForwardDispatchAction] SubmitButtonForwardDispatchAction.execute(): Warning - Error encountered and handled while attempting to locate ActionForward property-name=[ submit ] of [EMAIL PROTECTED], for Request=[ [EMAIL PROTECTED]/webm/asistente.do,contextPath=/webm,method=POST,queryString=,sessionId=BDCA619715A1B419D6785F9CAADC7185] ]. 2004-09-23 19:10:08,156 DEBUG [com.mitranosoft.struts.util.DefaultActionForwardSelector] DefaultActionForwardSelector.getActionForward(): Returning a default ActionForward matching name=[ otherwise ].

It's worth saying that the mapping in the SubmitButtonForwardDispatchAction for a 'cancel' action works fine, whenever I hit the cancel button in my form I'm redirected to the correct location; also the 'otherwise' mapping works good... it's were I'm taken to everytime I hit the next button and the errors pops up in the log files :^P For any help, my eternal gratitude :^) Have a nice evening.
