RE: Newbie html:errors/ never displays errors

[Hollaway, Shedrick CIV (TRFKB C600)]

Without seeing your validation code I'm guessing you have this or want to
have this:

public ActionErrors validate (ActionMapping actionMapping,
HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest)
{
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
if (getCountryName() == null || getCountryName().length() 
1)
{
errors.add(countryName, new
ActionError(errors.required,Country Name));
}
if (getCountryCapital() == null ||
getCountryCapital().length()  1)
{
errors.add(countryCapital, new
ActionError(errors.required,Country Capital));
}
saveMessages(request, (ActionMessages) errors);
return (errors);
}

 Do I add saveMessages(request, (ActionMessages) errors); to 
 the Validate method of ActionForm?  Since that is where the 
 validation is happening.
 Thanks

 Looks like you are not saving your errors. Try this after errors.add:
 
 saveMessages(request, (ActionMessages) errors);

  David,
  
  I followed your suggestions.  I have everything set up the 
  way you said.
  I have a default error: 
  errors.add(countryName, new 
  ActionError(errors.required,Country Name));
  
  I'm displaying the error using
  
  logic:messagesPresent
  ul
  html:messages id=error property=countryName
  libean:write name=error//li
  /html:messages
  /ul
  /logic:messagesPresent
  
  I get the following error:
   javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot find bean error in any scope
  
  I also tried doing the following:
  logic:messagesPresent
  ul
  html:messages id=error
  libean:write name=countryName//li
  /html:messages
  /ul
  /logic:messagesPresent
  
  I still get an error :
  javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot find bean countryName 
  in any scope
  
  
  It seems like the error doesn't get added to the session or request.
  Anything else you could suggest?
  Thanks
  Nadia

  Nadia,
  
  Are you sure you have the 3 important pieces?
  
  A) a struts-config.xml (or module) define message resources 
  file?  Mine is
  the file WEB-INF/classes/application.properties, which 
  contains the line:
  
  errors.required={0} is required.
  
  My struts-config.xml includes this resource with the line:
  message-resources parameter=application null=true /
  
  B) Have you put a 'default' error message in your 
  ActionForm's validate()
  method for testing purposes so your method does not end with:
  return(errors);
  
  but with:
  
  
  C) You have JSP Code like this:
  
  logic:messagesPresent
  ul
  html:messages id=error
  libean:write name=error//li
  /html:messages
  /ul
  /logic:messagesPresent
  
  I got this to work but only AFTER I made sure I had step A 
 configured
  properly.
  
  Since you used property key names when you added each error 
  instead of using
  the Globals.ERROR key, a.k.a. the string error.  You added 
  each item under
  keys like countryName and countryCapital so you could 
 access them
  individually like this:
  
  logic:messagesPresent
  ul
  html:messages id=error property=countryName
  libean:write name=error//li
  /html:messages
  /ul
  /logic:messagesPresent
  
  AND
  
  logic:messagesPresent
  ul
  html:messages id=error property=countryCapital
  libean:write name=error//li
  /html:messages
  /ul
  /logic:messagesPresent

  David

RE: a re-deploy does not refresh ApplicationResources in Apache

Thomas, 

You will need to make the Tomcat context reloadable. Open the project
properties and select Tomcat (if not present install Sysdeo Eclipse Tomcat
Launcher plugin). In the 'General' tab, check the both 'Can update
server.xml file' and 'Mark this context as reloadable (reloadable=true).'

 Ok, I'm not trying to start an e-mail client war. (I have been using 
 Thunderbird as my primary client but do miss some of the 
 features of The 
 Bat, but that's not the question I have). At work they've 
 just installed 
 Office 2003 so I figured I'd look again at Lookout since I do 
 use it at 
 work for the Calendar stuff that I'm forced to use (I can still use 
 Thunderbird to get my Exchange server e-mail which is nice). While 
 messing with the Outlook e-mail client I can't figure out for 
 the life 
 of me how to sort messages by subject/thread AND by date.. 
 like EVERY 
 OTHER client in the world does. If this client can sort like 
 a normal 
 client (thunderbird, mozilla, the bat, sylpheed, evolution, kmail, 
 pegasus, eudora, poco mail, etc etc) how come it is so difficult to 
 figure out how to set it up? I've been messing with these view and 
 custom options and still havne't figured it out. I've used 
 both Windows 
 and Linux and I actually like Windows for a desktop 
 environment (gasp!) 
 but I don't use any of their software other than the OS (I 
 use opera or 
 firefox for browsing, thundbird for mail, open office for 
 office stuff). 
 I'm really amazed that they could realease an e-mail client 
 that is so 
 lame. It's like MS refusing to make IE have tabbed browsing 
 features - 
 just stupid - they know people want it but they don't provide it (I 
 guess they're afraid to admit that moz/firefox/opera have the 
 right idea.)
 
 Someone tell me how I can get messages sorted correctly in Outlook? I 
 want grouped by thread/subject but sorted by received date 
 (preferably a 
   more recent date on an e-mail will simply move the grouped 
 thread up 
 or down).

Multiple forms in one JSP + one Action

[Hollaway, Shedrick CIV (TRFKB C600)]

I am unable to find a solution or an alternate way of having multiple forms
in one jsp and upon submit one action handling all forms.The jsp will have
the forms as follows:

html:form
%-- first form stuff -- using formA --%
html:form
%-- second form stuff -- using formB --%
/html:form
html:form
%-- third form stuff -- using formB --%
/html:form
/html:form

How do I indicate to the action that it depends on two forms? Or should I be
using nested forms? Which I can't find docs or HOWTO for? I would be
thankful for any help?

html:form
%-- second form stuff -- using formB --%
/html:form
html:form
%-- third form stuff -- using formB --%
/html:form
/html:form
html:submit/

RE: Multiple forms in one JSP + one Action

[Hollaway, Shedrick CIV (TRFKB C600)]

Rick, my apologies for being unclear here, html:text is html-el:text and I
am using JSTL to retrieve data and iterate with (c:foreach). There are alot
more fields involve here each ActionForm corrolate to a database
tables(Atable = Aform, Btable = Bform). I would like the user to be able
update fields in multiple tables without binding the table in one very big
ActionForm. Does this fit the exception of nested forms using JSTL?

Shed

 Wy would you want to? Why don't you just make an ActionForm with the 
 properties:
 
 firstName
 lastName
 homePhone
 contact1
 contact2
 
 Maybe I'm missing something:) Also you do know that 
 html:form will not 
 work defined like you have it?
 
 Also of course you need your submit button inside the form. 
 Lastly you 
 have two form fields named the same (fullName) which will end up 
 submitting a String[] which is probably not what you want. 
 Make one form 
 and name them contact1 and contact2 and set them before you 
 get to the 
 form so you don't have to declare the value like you are doing. (You 
 'usually' want to avoid having to declare the value - it 
 should be set 
 in the form. There are exceptions - nested forms using JSTL, 
 sometimes 
 radio or checkboxes - but 99.9 of the time you shouldn't 
 need to define 
 the value using an html:text tag).

 I understand it was html-el, but that doesn't matter - you 
 should still 
 just use property when you 'can' for text fields ( if iterating over 
 checkboxes and displaying the values of the checkboxes with el, that 
 makes more sense). You shouldn't be worrying about the backend at all 
 from a front end perspective. The role of the front end is to capture 
 and display data so I wouldn't worry about: (Atable = Aform, Btable = 
 Bform).
 
 Here's what I do in your case. Imagine the slightly more 
 complex case of 
   updating user information Using your scenario, the set up 
 could be 
 like this:
 
 1) Create an ActionForm that will be used to capture user information:
 
 //UserActionForm
 String id
 String firstName
 String lastName
 String homePhone
 String contact1
 String contact2
 
 2) I'd use a Dispatch Action for the Action class, but since I'm not 
 sure if used them before, I'll assume a regular Action. So Create a 
 GetUserAction and for this example we'll also need an 
 UpdateUserAction (Dispatch really makes this much easier but that's 
 another topic).
 
 3) User might click on a link with an userID and we then need to 
 populate the ActionForm so the fields (firstName, etc) can be 
 updated. 
 So imagine a link that will map to GetUserAction and takes request 
 parameter of id. For this example we'll bind our UserActionForm for 
 this mapping. So we might have a link that looks like...
 /getUser.do?id=3456  which in our StrutsConfig file we'd map that 
 getUser.do to our GetUserAction. So GeUserAction is called... now 
 here's where you'll see what I'd do...
 
 //in execute of GetUserAction..
 
 UserActionForm userForm = (UserActionForm)form;
 String id = userForm.getId();
 
 //now you mentioned you have different business calls to make
 //to populate both contact information and the rest of the info...
 //I'd think about creating a new query but lets assume you 
 have to make 
 //both calls. We'll use a service class that hides the implementation,
 //but what should always be returned is some kind of BusinessObject -
 //not an ActionForm... these business objects holding the data are
 //ValueObjects or DTOs - just  glorified names for plain old 
 java object
 //really.
 
 //NameValueObject holds firstName, lastName, homePhone
 NameValueObject nameObject = yourServiceLayer.getNameObject( id );
 //ContactValueObject holds contact1, contact2
 ContactValueObject contactObject = yourServiceLayer.getContactObject(
id )
 
 //so now you have the concern you were talking about earlier:
 //Atable = Aform, Btable = Bform - but notice now it's not based
 //on the view layer.
 
 //now we can simply use bean utils to populate our form bean for
 //the display:
 
 //to avoid having to do userForm.setFirstName(
 //nameObject.getFirstName() );
 //for all the properties..use BeanUtils...
 
 BeanUtils.copyProperties( userForm, nameObject );
 BeanUtils.copyProperties( userForm, contactObject );
 
 //Viola. Now your UserActionForm is nice and populated and ready to be
 //used on your page. So yo forward on to your page and you have a
 //nice form with...
 
 html:form name=updateUser
 first name: html:text property=firstName/
 //...
 Contact 1: html:text property=contact1/
 //..etc
 /html:form
 
 The above of course submits to UpdateUserAction (or if 
 Dispatch Action 
 something like UserAction and in there you could do the reverse...
 
 UserActionForm userForm = (UserActionForm)form;
 NameValueObject nameObject = new NameValueObject();
 BeanUtils.copyProperties( nameObject, userForm );
 ContactValueObject contactObject = new ContactValueObject();
 BeanUtils.copyProperties( contactObject , userForm );
 yourServiceLayer.updateUser( nameObject, contactObject );
 
 Again I still think it makes more sense to probably have just one 
 ValueObject ( user ) to deal with holding all this, but you 
 might have 
 some requirement were you need to have each different object 
 representing a table. (Use iBATIS and you won't have to worry 
 about that:)
 
 By the way, I have some examples of this stuff at 
 http
