RE: Validation Problem - very urgent please reply

[Peter . Zoche]

I had the same problem, and besides setting the form to session scope
you could do the following: Instead of storing your list of languages in
an ArrayList, store them in an array of Strings. Then on your jsp you
should be able to iterate over this list and sent all languages via the
html:hidden tag (that is why you have to use Strings, because they are sent
as Strings) with your request. So the languages are stored in your form with
every request, and when validation fails, you still have the languages
there.
The iteration should look something like this:





Hope that helps, perhaps you could reply when it works!

Dear friends,

I have a Add user jsp page and in my jsp page the user can select his 
language from a dropdown menu. I am generating it from the ArrayList 
property in UserForm.







My problem is ,  when there is a validation error and control returns to 
the jsp page it is not able to find the languages collection, ie 
ArrayList. I know it is possible to solve by setting the form to 
session. but I dont want it to be in the session. Is there is any way 
out for this problem ??

Please reply to me

thanks in advance

Struts menu is just fine,
works with latest stuff and can be attached to DB too, there is a nice

If the stuff works just fine, why do you need updates? :)

Could you post your complete action mapping and

I do this, but struts still forwarding me to 
"http://localhost/context/MyAction.do"; - not 
"http://localhost/context/path/MyAction.do";. And I have defined:



and in my struts action I return mapping.findForward("ok").
What I do wrong?

RE: Action forward path

[Peter . Zoche]

In that case, when action mapping looks like this
(as you wrote in your mail before):


  


then you have to do the following at the end of your
action (after all work has been done):

return mapping.findForward( "ok" );

where the "ok" has to be the same in the method and in
forward name parameter. Struts searches the forwards
taht you define in your mapping, and returns an
ActionForward (you dont need to care about this,
it is all done for you). If you would like your action to
forward to another place (that can be another jsp, or
Action, for example if an error occurs), you would do
the following:


  
  


and in your action

if( no errors )
return mapping.findForward( "ok" );
else
return mapping.findForward( "notok" );

Greetings

If you only want your Action to forward to the jsp, and do
nothing else, use a ForwardAction like this:



The parameter attribute defines the target of your
forward action, that is your jsp.

problems setting the input forward validating forms

[Peter . Zoche]

Hi all!

I have got the following problem: an external script submits a request to my
web-app ans is not
interested what happens with it. As set in the struts-config.xml, the
request parameters are
used to populate a DynaValidatorForm, which is validated as specified in my
validation.xml.
If validation fails, the form should be forwarded to another action which
logs the data in the
form so that errors can be traced. So I did the following:







So if validation is ok, the NewActivityTriggerAction adds the
data to my database, but if it fails, the TriggerErrorAction
should perform its work. But nothing happens! There is no error
in my logs, whether in my standard log nor in my special trigger
error log. The form is populated properly, and if I turn of
validation, everything works fine (my NewActivityTriggerAction
throws an Exception as expected). So why does the input forward
not work? Does anyone have a suggestion?

Re: a simpler way?

[Peter . Zoche]

I understand what you mean, but my example has been very simple
and only a little part of my page. I have much more text fields
on my page, and everything I need is stored in a Bean in session
scope. So using a PreAction to copy my whole Bean to an ActionForm
with a lot of properties would be a lot of work and code.
DynaValidatorFroms and Beans are there to avoid this extra Action,
and all this extra properties, or is it wrong? 

As you can see, I still have to learn a lot...

Peter

a simpler way?

[Peter . Zoche]

Hi all!

Lets say I have a form with two text fields on a jsp page:




Both text fields are validated (I use a DynaValidatorForm) and a text is
required for both. If the user changes both text fields (lets say deletes
project and changes version), validation fails and the user is send back to
the
text fields. But now the text in the field "version" shows again the
${beanFromSessionScope.version} value, and not the one previously changed
by the user. A workaround:


  


  



  


  


Is there a simpler way to achieve this?

Prepopulating DynaValidatorForm and validating

[Peter . Zoche]

Hi all!

Googling and seraching the archive did not solve my problem, so
I will have a try. In my struts-config.xml, I have defined a
DynaValidatorForm and an action:


  
  



  ...


As you can see, this form holds a list of projects in a collection,
which has to be populated before the corresponding jsp-page is shown.
So I have an Action which gets the (dynamic, not static) list of
projects from a database and puts it into the editForm like this:

public ActionForward execute( ... ) {

  DynaValidatorForm dynaForm = (DynaValidatorForm) form;

  // get list of projects from database
  Collection projectList = getDatabaseHandler().getProjectList();

  // put project list into DynaValidatorForm
  dynaForm.set( "projectList", projectList );

Everything works fine after showing my jsp-page with a combobox
populated with the data from my projectList - the user can choose
one project.
But on the same page there is a html:text field:



which corresponds to my editForms "version"-property.
When the user submits the form to processEdit, the version
property has to be validated to see if it is not empty.
So in my validation.xml I do the following:


  
 
  


If the user submits an empty version and validation fails,
he will be send back to the jsp-page, but it will not show
because the project list is not present any more. That seems
clear because the DynaValidatorForm is reset when the user
submits. I tried following workarounds:

1. I replaced the DynaValidatorForm with my own version
overwriting the reset - method to do nothing. Additionaly
set the scope to "session". But my project list gets still
lost (wondering why?)

2. Trying to pass my project list from one form to the other
like this 

logic:lessThan problem

Hi list!

I have some problems comparing values with logic tags. I have searched the
mailing list archive,
but I only found solutions that look pretty the same as what I have done,
but it still does not
work. So perhaps someone can help. I have a bean which stores a list of
projects. Because
the size of this list can vary, I get it like this:



When I write out the size bean , the
correct size is shown. But when I try to do the following:


Less than 5!


Greater or equal 5!


always both messages are shown! Is there something I am missing?

Tiles showing directory listing inside WEB-INF

[Peter . Zoche]

Hi all!

I got confused when I experimented with tiles to learn how it works. Here is
what I have done.
I have created a DeafultLayout.jsp:

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles" %>


  
TilesTest


  
  



  


So there are three regions, which I populate in a tiles definition
like this:


  
  
  


When I use this definition in an jsp like this:



my web-app shows the directory listing of WEB-INF/jsp/layout (besides
the header and footer). So the line



seems to be the problem. Is it ok for my web-app to show directory listings
inside my WEB-INF folder? How can I prevent Tomcat to do so, if i forget to
put a tile into my layout? More basically: Why does Tomcat list my directory
when a tile is put with value=""? Or is it a problem of tiles? There is
another
problem, too. My stylesheets are ignored. If I use navigation.jsp for the 
navigation tile, everything is fine. Why aren't the stylesheets used in case
of value=""? You see, I only scratch the surface of tiles and need some more
in-depth covering of it.

Re: Problems configuring Tiles

Turning validation off and changing tiles-config.dtd into

I wonder why the xml parser tries to connect to
http://jakarta.apache.org/ for my tiles-defs.xml, I always thought
it is only a describing name rather than a real URL to connect to.
I also use the following declaration in my struts-config-xml,

Problems configuring Tiles

[Peter . Zoche]

Hi all!

I would like my web-app (using Struts 1.2.7, Tomcat 5.5.9, Windows 2000)
to use Tiles, and so I updated my struts-config.xml with a tiles plugin


  
  
  
  
  


In my WEB-INF folder there is the following tiles-defs.xml:


http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/tiles-config.dtd";>
  

  
  


(with an empty definition for now)

On deploying my web-app to Tomcat I get the following exception(s):
(see attachment for full stacktrace)

javax.servlet.ServletException: IO Error while parsing
file '/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml'. Connection refused: connect

What is going wrong here? There is tiles-config_1_1.dtd in my
WEB-INF folder, too? Is there something I am missing?

Loading properties

[Peter . Zoche]

Hi!

I would like my web-app to read in a *.properties file at startup (not for
i18n, but the good old
java.util.Properties, for example to get the e-mail address of the admin of
the web-app). So
I wrote a ServletContextListener which will load the properties-file and
store it into servlet
context from where it can be accessed throughout my web-app. But where I do
have to
put the myProps.properties file? I tried WEB-INF/classes, but I get a
FileNotFoundException.
Or do I have to configure web.xml or struts-config.xml in some way? Or is
there a better
way to store the required data (such as admin's e-mail)?

Thanks

Showing stacktrace in jsp

I wolud like to do the following:

If an Action catches an Exception, I would like to forward to an error
page that shwos some general message, such as "There has been

link or something else (which is shown to for example all admins),
so that the user can watch the whole stacktrace of the exception.
You could store the original Exception in request-scope, but
is there a simple way/ a tag to print out the whole stacktrace
of my exception in the jsp? Or do I have to do it on my own?

Forwarding in custom RequestProcessor

[Peter . Zoche]

Hi!

I have extended the RequestProcessor's processPreprocess() method
in order to perform a simple user authentication mechanism using
cookies. If a cookie identifying a user is found, but the users member-
ship has expired, I would like him to be forwarded/redirected to a
corresponding error page. What is the best way to do this? I tried
the following:

request.getRequestDispatcher( "membershipExpired.jsp" ).forward( request,
response );

which works fine. But this is surely not how struts should work because
I have hardcoded the target in my code, and not configured in my
struts-config.xml for example. So if the error page changes I have to
chnage my code and not only the struts-config.xml. Does anybody know
a better solution? I tried a global-forward like this but it didn't work:





with

request.getRequestDispatcher( "nodb" ).forward( request, response );

Perhaps I made a mistake somewhere...

Betreff: Tomcat5.exe Holds Onto Struts.jar


Hi:
Perhaps this is a Tomcat question but it applies only to Struts.
I have Tomcat 5.5 running under Windows 2000 with Eclipse as the IDE. Ant is
used to assemble, compile and deploy the applications. However, the process
Tomcat5.exe accesses the struts.jar at /WEB-INF/lib/struts.jar.  The result
is that when we run Ant and try to undeploy the application all files but
the struts.jar are removed and the deployment process fails.  Although
Tomcat has access to all the jars in the various libs (common, shared and
server) it only has access to the struts jars in the application libs. We
use Process Explorer to verify this.

There seem to be several threads reporting similar behavior.  Our present
solution is to operate with unpacked wars (it works) but we would like to
improve the performance with unpacked wars.

Any thoughts?

I have maybe a simple question:

My web-app has to get data out of a database. I have a class DatabaseHandler
which

to put it.
Should it be stored in the ServletContext for application scope? But how do
I access

hibernate would

logic:forward and session

[Peter . Zoche]

Hello all!

I still have a problem that struts creates a session although it should not
do so.
I have isolated the problem and there are only two possible locations left.
One of
them is this:
I have an index.jsp specified in my welcome.file-list in web.xml. This
index.jsp does
the following:

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/taglibs-log.tld" prefix="log" %>
<%@ page session="false" %>



 
 
 


As expected ${pageContext.session.id} returns an empty string in my log
because
the page-directive tells session="false"
But right after the logic:forward a session is created! Is it possible that
the
logic:forward is bound to creation of a session? Is there a way to eliminate
this
behaviour? I found nothing on the WWW so I will try here.

Thanks

Peter

No, there is no filter or something else, only the things I included
in my first mail (besides the login.jsp and home.jsp to which the
success and failure forwards point to)

Is it possible that you have a servlet filter set up which creates a
session? Possibly one that checks if the user is logged in?

AW: Struts and Sessions Problem

[Peter . Zoche]

Hello again

As Michael suggested I put a session="false" in the page directive in my
index.jsp like this

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>
<%@ page session="false" %>

 
 
 


but the problem still is there. my session is not null!

Hmm, I don't see how the session can be null. If you start from JSP,
and you did not set session="false" in the page directive, then to my
understanding, session should be created right in the JSP.

Struts and Sessions Problem

[Peter . Zoche]

Hello all!

I have a problem with struts and sessions, perhaps someone has an idea:

My web.xml contains the following welcome file list:


  index.jsp


My index.jsp only forwards like this:

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>

  
 
  


My struts-config uses a global forward to map it like this:


  



In the struts-config the final mapping to the action is this one:


  
  


In CheckCookiesAction which extends Action, in the execute(...) method I get
the HTTPSession like this:

HttpSession session = request.getSession( false ) );

My problem: when a user accesses my webapp for the first time this method
does not return null,
although it should do so! It is no problem of Tomcat 5.5.9 I am using, the
Servlet I wrote for testing does
its work properly and returns null if the user accesses my page for the
first time. So why does Struts behave
like this? Is it because of all the forwarding and redirecting, although it
should have no effect in my opinion?

Perhaps someone knows whats going wrong

Peter

Extending ForwardAction

[Peter . Zoche]

Hi all!

Here a question from a newbie:

Is it possible to extend the ForwardAction class to add some functionality
chained to the forward?
My struts-config entry would look like this:



Does Struts recognize that MyForwardAction extends ForwardAction so that is
uses the parameter-attribute?
