[OT] {BEER] commercial J2EE application server recommendations.
hi, perhaps the subject should be stout vs. porter vs. bitter vs. pale ale vs. pilsner;) as an open source advocate and user, i usually recommend open source solutions. however, i have a rapidly growing client that is uncomfortable with open source, and has plenty of money. i haven't worked with many recent commercial J2EE application servers, or other the pieces that i'll need. while i have my opinions, i'd like those of the community so that i can present an unbiased (ok - less biased;) presentation of the client's options. comments like IMO product X has the following advantages and disadvantages would be greatly appreciated. J2EE app servers? RDBMS? integration issues (eg: one vendor's app server talking to another vendor's RDBMS)? as the implementation will involve some open source frameworks, any vendor specific issues (eg: with Struts or Hibernate)? etc..

[SOLVED] Re: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null disaster
hi, thanks for the responses.. the subject line did look like a FAQ question, hence there were few replies (thanks Lucas and Vincent). as per the FAQ, i added a null form bean for the action question.. although it still didn't work:( i was confused because the web application worked the first time.. but never again. the problem was caused by a misbehaving JAAS servlet filter (arguably OT for this list, but i'll probably post a URL for the fixed incarnation since the login question comes up so often). programming late at night and then making lame posts for help is not a practice i'd advocate.. unfortunately i broke my own rules.. sorry for any noise. cheers -gm - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null disaster
hi, i'm at a loss.. i've verified the usual suspects, checked the usual places, but still can't find an answer. background: /Login - /LoginSubmit - /Survey - /SurveySubmit from struts-config.xml (IMHO unrelelated stuff elided): form-beans form-bean name=surveyForm type=com.w3elements.form.SurveyForm/ /form-beans global-forwards forward name=survey path=/Survey.do/ /global-forwards action-mappings action path=/Survey forward=/pages/Survey.jsp/ /action-mappings the first time everything works. the next time tomcat bails with: snip - Root Cause - javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null on action /Survey /snip and won't work again unless you restart tomcat. well.. it's just a forward hiding a JSP. Survey.jsp contains a form that forwards to /SurveySubmit (which _is_ associated with a form bean.. yup.. also works the first time). software: tomcat 5.0.19 struts 1.2.6 i'm probably doing something incredibly stupid.. any comments or suggestions appreciated.

hi, Lucas Bern wrote: Hi, I think the problem should be arround the SurveySubmit action... Coul you paste that definition form struts-config??? action path=/SurveySubmit type=com.w3elements.action.SurveyAction name=surveyForm input=survey validate=false parameter=dispatch /action What is failing??, the load of the form, or the submit??? tomcat barfs about not finding a form bean for /Survey. note: global-forwards forward name=survey path=/Survey.do/ /global-forwards and that survey is /SurveySubmit input source. it's a simple form display/submission pattern that i've used in a number of web applications (that has always worked). even wierder, it always works the _first_ time the app is depolyed.. after that, it's hosed. hosed in the sense that reoloading the original URI (that worked the first time) barfs. worse yet, the web.xml error-page directive is ignored and the exceptions are displayed on the browser. any ideas or thoughts greatly appreciated. cheers -gm - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Help Validating Accepted/Not Accepted radio buttons
hi, Wendy Smoak wrote: From: Jeff Beal [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'd just put that in the Action class instead of in validation. It seems like more of a business decision than a validation decision. (After all, 'Y' and 'N' are both valid responses.) In Action: if (Y.equals(myForm.getAccept)) { return mapping.findForward(accept) } else { ActionMessages errors = new ActionMessages(); errors.add(ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE, new ActionMessage(Constants.ACCEPT_TERMS_ERROR)); saveErrors(req,errors); return mapping.getInputForward(); } It's not that simple... something about creating an ActionError and putting it somewhere so it will magically make the message appear on the page when I forward back to the input form. I used to know how to do it, but then things changed. And that's why I want to use Validator. where Constants.ACCEPT_TERMS_ERROR is a key in the message properties file should work. -gm - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
