RE: AW: Paged data output

[Geeta Ramani]

Hi Yaroslav:

In case you cannot or don't want to do pagination in the db, follow Axel's 
advice and use the display tag. I used it for the first time two days ago and 
it is *sweet*! Plus the docs are chock full of examples..:)

Cheers,
Geeta

Also iBatis DAO w/ Displaytag.

BUT I allways do paginiation in DB. For example select limit ofset.
Depends of what you think lots of products are (and if you also have 
lots of users)

Where, Ideally should the struts.jar live? Is it apart of the APP or

Subject: File Upload Limits

I'm trying to find some detailed information on how to use the file size
limits using the struts MultipartRequestHandler. In the past I have used
a
custom servlet, but I thought it was time to bring this into the struts
world.

Before anybody says anything, I tried to search the list archive but it
says
it can't be searched.

So anyway I looked at the fileupload example, and have done the
following:

Added the controller element


To my struts-config and in my UploadForm validate action I check the
boolean
request.getAttribute(MultipartRequestHandler.ATTRIBUTE_MAX_LENGTH_EXCEED
ED);

I take it from this that the requesthandler sets a boolean value in the
request if the file is greater in size than specified in the controller
element.

The problem is that this isn't working.

Any help would be appreciated.

I agree with you that struts-user is mostly noise, although you
phrased it much better than I did.  I know it's frustrating to have
your question go unanswered, but I really don't think it's
intentional.  There is so much cruft on this list, with the same
questions asked repeatedly, that your question probably just fell
through the cracks.

The vast majority of the questions here should be posted on the JDC
forums.  If people would do that, and make even the most basic attempt
to check the archives and/or Google, the number of off-topic posts
would fall.

I guess I'll wait to see how many angry responses I get. :)

RE: HttpSessionListener vs. HttpSessionBindingListener

Thanks for your note, Subramaniam. I went with K.Citron's suggestion of getting the 
sessionId from the session and that seems to work great too. It seems (for whatever 
reason) session.getId() works fine after the session is invalidated though 
session.getAttribute() bombs...

RE: redirect to login page with error message on the jsp page

[Geeta Ramani]

Well, you could put in a check for whether they are already in the login page. You 
could use methods like getRequestURI() on the request object or something like:
if ((request.getParameter("username") != null) && (request.getParameter("passowrd") != 
null) ) {
return true; //ie normal processing without error
} else etc..

RE: redirect to login page with error message on the jsp page

Or you could write a RequestProcessor and override the processPreprocess method with 
something like this:

HttpSession session = request.getSession();
if ( (session == null) || (session.getFavouriteObjectInSession == null) ) {
//use Response object to redirect to login page with error set;
}

ahh, wait. You are using tomcat 5 which implements servlet 2.4 and the javadocs for

Thank you, Sahil. This error kind of threw me - two days ago i would have sworn I knew

so I am glad to hear confirmation about my proposed solution.

HttpSessionListener vs. HttpSessionBindingListener

[Geeta Ramani]

Hi everyone:

I would like some clarification regarding the HttpSessionListener. (We are using 
servlet spec 2.3) 

Here's what I want to do: When a session expires, either when a user uses the "logout" 
feature or due to time-out, I want to delete a certain row from the database. The 
specifics of which row to delete is stored in an attribute in an "user" object in the 
session. 

My existing solution which i don't believe works: Write a class that implements the 
HttpSessionListener and override the sessionDestroyed(HttpSesssionEvent) method. In 
the sessionDestroyed method, call the HttpSessionEvent.getSession() to get the 
session, query the session to get the user and carry on.

However, here's an entry in my logs:
"java.lang.IllegalStateException: getAttribute: Session already invalidated"

So i looked up the Javadocs for the HttpSessionListener and indeed here's the 
description for HttpSessionListener.sessionDestroyed method: 

Notification that a session was invalidated. . 

Note the use of the *past* tense!! Thus, for example, it seems you cannot query the 
session for anything at this point!

Googling produced this page which seems to describe the problem I am facing. 
http://archives.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0207&L=servlet-interest&F=&S=&P=32332

Since this (and others I found like it) are dated over two years ago, I'd like you 
comments on:

Proposed solution: Seeing as it seems that I cannot query the session for any 
attributes after it has already been invalidated, I therefore should make my **User** 
class implement the HttpSessionBindingListener interface and overwrite the 
valueUnbound method.

Is my understanding correct? How do others do this sort of thing?

Thank you in advance for any replies!
Geeta

RE: Not Logged in with the same loggin-password if it is already registered.

[Geeta Ramani]

Yes but wont the container "know" when a user closes his/her window? Are you saying 
this isn't something that a container will be notified about..?/ ..hmm... maybe not... 
ok, Robert scratch my earlier note..(like I said i ought to go home..)

RE: Not Logged in with the same loggin-password if it isalready registered.

[Geeta Ramani]

The HttpSessionlistener interface is your friend ..;)

http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpSessionListener.html

All you do is write a class which implements it and overwrite the 
sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent) method and bob's your uncle.. (Note that 
HttpSessionEvEnt.getSession gives you a hnadle to the session that was/is in the 
process of getting destroyed).

Point of fact i haven't tested my code with the windows "X" but my bet is it works.. 
(famous last words)..

RE: Not Logged in with the same loggin-password if it is already registered.

[Geeta Ramani]

Exactly! Or use HttpSessionlistener and database solution (that jim outlined) 
simultaneously..

(We are doing almost this except as a solution to a kind of "opposite" problem - when 
a user logs off we need to do soem work so.. this seems to work nicely)

You are quite right and I realised this after reading jim's response.. As a matter of 
fact we are using sort of the method taht jim suggested in his note (with a 
database).. so i am not sure why i was being stupid.. So never mind me: am going back

RE: Not Logged in with the same loggin-password if it is already registered.

[Geeta Ramani]

Ricardo:

Not sure where you are having problems..? Why wouldn't something like this 
(pseudocode) work?

if (isLoggedIn(user)) {
session.invalidate();
}
//now proceed normally with login with un/pw...

RE: Connecting to a database during sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionevent) in HttpSessionlistener class

Reddy:

Thank you for your reply. I like your second idea better and unless I hear objections 
from the list, shall go with that solution, which I certainly like better than my 
original one..:)

Thank you again,

Connecting to a database during sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionevent) in HttpSessionlistener class

[Geeta Ramani]

This may be classified as OT, and if so, please ignore it or reply to me personally. 
Also if this question has already been answered I would appreciate it very much if 
anyone could send me a link: I can't come up with a good search criterion to 
google/search for.

I wrote a HttpSessionListener for our application and part of the 
sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent)code involved getting a connection from our pool and 
deleting a ceratin record in a table in our database. When I tested this code locally 
this worked great but when I moved this to our server we noticed during testing that 
this code seemed to work inconsistently: It seemed to be executed sometimes and not at 
others. 

After worrying about it over the weekend, I think I figured out the problem: during 
testing we were all using the connection pool whose size we had deliberately set to 1 
to see how slow things could get. Since the sessionDestroyed code involved getting a 
connection from the pool I think it must have timed out when all of us were testing 
the application. In which case, my code simply exited the try block doing nothing 
except log (which was mistakenly turned off for this class (:(.. Anyways, this 
explanation seems to explain everything we noticed.

One way to solve thsi problem is to not use the pool for this part of the app. That 
way it doesn't matter if there's an available connection or not, this code will always 
- well, as far as possible - be executed. (In the other parts of the app, if a 
connection cannot be obtained from the pool, at least the user is made aware of it. 
The HttpSessionListener of course doesn't have that luxury..)

But I kind of feel that this is not really a clean solution..? Can somebody comment on 
why I have a funny feeling about seeking this way out..? Anybody have any better ideas 
on how to solve this problem?

As always, many thanks in advance for any insights!

You have to add a "Resource" element in your context in server.xml. Here's the sort of 
thing that works for us:






factory

org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory



serverName
localhost


username
TheUserName


password
ThePassword


driverClassName
com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver


url

jdbc:sybase:Tds:MyServername:portname?servicename=MyServiceName 
 


validationQuery
select count(*) from a tablename where 
something


maxActive
1


maxIdle
1


removeAbandoned
true


removeAbandonedTimeout
60

RE: How to Disable "open" button on "File Download" dialogue box....please urgent

[Geeta Ramani]

Ganesh:

Try something like this:
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=myfilename.xyz");

I believe if the extension ("xyz") is "unknown" then a "file save as" dialog will 
always occur.

Also, and I mean this in the kindliest way, maybe you should be a bit more careful 
when you write to this list. Words like "Now i require that feature." or "pls let me 
know the solution asap." irritate people because this list is *entirely* made up of 
volunteers who have "regular" jobs and other things they have to do. Again, no 
harshness intended, just thought you may like to know this for the future..

Regards, and good luck..

RE: About datasource

Hi:

I think this is the sort of thing you may be looking for:

Context ctx = new InitialContext();
org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource ds =

(org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/yourDB"));

Configuring plug-ins using

[Geeta Ramani]

Hi all:

I have a question regarding the use of plug-ins. According to the docs,

"For PlugIns that require configuration themselves, the nested  element 
is available."

My question is simply this: how do I retrieve the value that I set in a set-property 
tag? I am sure this is dead simple to most of you, but even after googling for two 
hours and looking at the source code for the tiles plug-in I seem to be going 
nowhere...(:(

Thanks in advance for any help!

RE: Multiple forms and actions

[Geeta Ramani]

Andy:

Short answer(s): No, the values on each form get submitted to just that Action class. 
And if you want the values of the other form to be submitted too, then won't it be a 
good idea to add those as fields of the first form in the first place? If you can't do 
that for some reason, you will have to rely on yukky javascript stuff..

RE: ActionForward with runtime parameter?

[Geeta Ramani]

Just a couple of small notes here though, (added for the Struts beginner): you will be 
setting and getting a "attribute" not a "parameter". Also you will need to set/get it 
as an Integer not an int..

RE: Confused about ActionMessages

Erik: Here's an example:

In your Action class do:
try {
service.insertEmployee( employeeDTO );
ActionMessages messages = new ActionMessages();
ActionMessage message = new 
ActionMessage("message.employee.insert.success",employeeDTO.getName() );
messages.add( ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE, message );
saveMessages( request, messages );
request.setAttribute("employee",employeeDTO);
return (mapping.findForward("success"));
}
catch( DatabaseException de ) {
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
ActionError error = new ActionError("error.employee.databaseException");
errors.add( ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, error );
saveErrors( request, errors );
return (mapping.findForward("error"));
}

In your success.jsp:

RE: JSP Compilation Problems With JSTL Tags Used

[Geeta Ramani]

I think the problem is that you are mixing java code illegally with jstl. For example, 
when you say
try{
something;
}
catch etc. the "something" better be java code..

RE: How to execute an initialization by using another servlet entry in web.xml

[Geeta Ramani]

Hi Manoj:

Does your getElement() method depend on the individual request? If not you could 
declare it as a static method and then simply access it using 
MyXMLParserServlet.getElement(). Otherwise that method may need a request parameter in 
its signature or something else - depending on your needs..

RE: delete a record

[Geeta Ramani]

Julia:

I think your question may not be too clear. First what do you mean by "delete a record 
in struts"? Strictly speaking, I believe Struts does not (should not) have code which 
properly belongs the business/database layer. So assuming that you want to show a 
confirmation page when your application successfully deletes a record in the database, 
all you have to do is forward the user to a success.jsp. Which is similar to what you 
always do in Struts. So what exactly is your problem? If you explain your problem more 
and/or show some code, maybe someone can help you out.

Geeta

RE: Different form tags on same jsp

[Geeta Ramani]

Chris, i think what David is trying to say is that such a test of authorization does 
not belong in a tag (because of the nesting problem). An easy and (non-javascript!) 
way of dealing with this is to in the Action *before* the jsp is shown, determine what 
the authority of the user is and then display the correct jsp. Since I think the 
original problem was to not have two different jsps, an appropraite include can be 
used instead (decide at run-time which include to use) and thus reuse the form. 
(Though in my experience, (vast though it is *not*!), reusing jsps is just a headache. 
Writing and maintaining two or more jsps is not that much extra work especially if you 
keep them dumb (like you are supposed to).. just my opinion though..)

Yes. Nothing prevents you from doing this.

uh, oh, never mind. major duh moment.. The answer is right there in the first link:

Finally, you can save an [ActionMessages] object under an arbitrary key and display it 
with the html:messages tag:

  ActionMessages am = new ActionMessages();
   am.add( ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE, 
   new ActionMessage( "msg.warning" ) );
  request.setAttribute("warnings", am);

and in your page:

ActionError(s) vs. ActionMessage(s)

[Geeta Ramani]

Hi all:

I have been looking into ActionErrors vs. ActionMessages and found the following two 
links:

http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?StrutsDeprecatedActionErrors

and

http://www.husted.com/struts/tips/017.html

The first link suggests that ActionError will be deprecated starting 1.2. However, 
ActionForm.validate will still return ActionErrors. So how is one supposed to use 
validate()? (It's easy enough to create ActionMessages in the ActionForm but the 
saveMessages method is only part of the Action class not the ActionForm..) 

Finally, the latter part of the second link above does still seem to use ActionError 
and ActionErrors.. I know I must be missing something.. ?

Thanks for your time!

ah, in that case does the page render ok if you take out the iterate tag entirely?

RE: Accessing Array element while iterating through Map

[Geeta Ramani]

oh, wait a minute. When you said "When the page is rendered, it draws a bit of the 
page", what exactly did you mean? Did you mean *none* of the iterate bit was rendered? 
I thought otherwise (and was hoping it was a problem with data rather than syntax..)

I know better than to join in these (un)holy wars, but I don't know anything about

RE: Newbie question: Are there any issues in having popup browser windows

[Geeta Ramani]

Plus isn't it true that whether or not a new session is created on opening a new 
window is browser dependent (I think..?).. I vaguely remember a discussion about this 
a while ago. If this is the case, then this will impact how your application is 
coded...

My guess: Look at your Action class. Do you have database statements, result sets, 
connections that aren't getting closed in a finally block?

RE: Multiple Databases.

[Geeta Ramani]

Vishal:

If you are using tomcat, then I believe you can use dbcp. (I think that's what Riyad 
Kalla was talking about too..) We use dbcp but only for connecting to one pool (and 
this turned out to be quite simple: just configure the server.xml), but I think I read 
that you can create multiple pools, which seems to be what you need. (My guess is you 
add more http://www.midrangeserver.com/mpo/mpo081502-story04.html

And here's a detailed how-to:

The "input" field is the path to the jsp where your form resides, something like: 

input="/myDir/myForm.jsp"

..and you may want to check on the "scope=session" bit. Are you using session scope?

RE: forwarding to action needing different request parameters

[Geeta Ramani]

I am pretty sure I got this to work. Here's how I remember it:
Create a new Actionforward. Set it equal to the path (got from getPath). Then add the

RE: forwarding to action needing different request parameters

[Geeta Ramani]

I think you can do this: get the ActionForward object as usual. Then use the 
ActionForward's getPath and setPath methods to add the rest of your params as query 
string parameters to the original path. This I am pretty sure will work.

But if you want to look at a nicer solution, maybe the RequestProcessor may have 
something to do this.. (I am not sure of this since I have not done it.)

Geeta

RE: Struts/Resin case-sensitivity

[Geeta Ramani]

You know, isn't the RequestProcessor supposed to be used for just this kind of thing? 
You know, when you get a request, massage it so it is just as you'd like (in this case 
maybe change the case of the mapping to all lower case) and then adding just the 
lower-case to the struts-config.xml should work..? But I may be all wrong since I 
don't have any experience with the requestProcessor myself - just dreamed of using it 
some time..;) ..

RE: ApplicationResource.properties reload

[Geeta Ramani]

Did you look at the second message in the second link below? I believe the Reload 
action was removed from struts 1.1 because it didn't do all that the name suggested it 
would do, but reloading the app resources properties file probably does not involve 
all the problems that class reloading does. So maybe the suggestion of adding the 
Reload action in your struts-config file may do the trick..? (I don't know if 
ReloadAction itself was removed from the struts 1.1 bundle or just the notation from 
the struts-config.xml.. anyway, since the source for struts 1.02 should be still be 
around, you may be in luck..:)  

Anyway, hopefully a *real* guru will comment on this: I have often wondered about this 
question myself..

RE: strange tomcat problem with struts1.1

[Geeta Ramani]

Jignesh:

Trust me on this, you *don't* want to avoid concurrent requests: Struts takes care of 
that bit for you. As long as the variables in the execute method of your action 
classes are all method variables and you stay away from class variables, you will be 
ok. Really.  :)

As for why your tomcat server hangs, not having seen any code, I can only guess at the 
reason: chances are it has something to do with database connections not getting 
returned/closed properly in a finally block after they are used. (I assume you can get 
stuff to work via a tomcat restart..?) I kind of doubt your problem has anything to do 
with the addition of your synchronized key word..

Geeta

RE: concurrency in struts

The "execute" method of the Action class includes (among others) as params the 
request, response objects of each user.. That I believe is the key..:)

None None: (or Someone Someone..;))

In fact maybe just adding the "type" attribute to your orignal iterate will work I 
think:

RE: Submit with a link

[Geeta Ramani]

Michael:

I think "forms" stands for the list (array?) of all forms in that document. So the 
form which appears (physically) first on the document has index 0, the next one has 1, 
etc.  Is this what you are asking..?

RE: is this posible? return to the same page after being executed

[Geeta Ramani]

ah yes, that's what i was afraid of ( - what i meant by "many ways of getting to that 
action etc..").. 
I suppose you don't want to use hidden vars..? Because that may be a simple solution 
to your problem.. :)

RE: is this posible? return to the same page after being executed

[Geeta Ramani]

oh, ok!

This exact question I think was asked and answered maybe in the past month or so - 
sorry, I don't have the exact reference. So maybe you could search the archives - or 
the poster of that answer will oblige again.. (have you looked into 
HttpServletRequestgetRequestUrl() (going from memory so may not be exact..)

However, before you do that, is there some reason you want a "generic" answer? After 
all, this will be an entry in the struts-config.xml and hardcoding there is the norm 
not the exception.. Unless you have many ways of getting to that particular action and 
.. you know what i mean..:) I tend to like simple solutions best - but then again, I 
doubtless don't understand the complexities of your situation..

RE: [OT - OT - Friday!!] Eclipse, Struts app and log4j

[Geeta Ramani]

Mike, Colin, Hubert: 

Thanks very much for your replies! I now have my struts app log4j integrated into 
eclipse. :))

To help eliminate future headaches, here's a link that helped me:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01266.html

i added the Log4jInit servlet, updated web.xml, rebuilt and restarted and viola`, 
log4j now is working as advertised!

I now believe Mike's Log4jPluginAction would have done the job too, since as he 
mentioned in his note, log4j was not getting initialised. (don't ask me why: i cannot 
figure that bit out..) Btw, I left commons-logging.jar alone, didn't seem to be a 
problem..

Thanks a lot again: it's been a pretty ok Friday after all..:)
