Struts Model Layer in the MVC framework
Is there an alternative to Spring Integration. I have a project that I need to get a prototype out to the client FAST and I simply want to implement a Model layer with connection pooling. I have gone to the Spring Framework site and I don't have the time to come up to speed on how to make this useful. Any alternatives would be appreciated.

I wouldn't do either. If you can, use Spring to do this, and to wire together not just the DAO, but also to wire your services to the actions, and the DAOs to the services. Spring will give you simple abstraction if that is all you want, or all sorts of things beyond just that simple abstraction if you want.

RE: Submitting forms with javascript in struts
I'm confused here. Is it your intent to pass a variable 'what' from your
form to the action?
I think the problem is that you need to assign the value what to a hidden
element
then in your java script assign the value to the value of the hidden element
document.form.cpKey.value = what;
then if your form as the proper setters and getters for cpKey you can get
the value in your action method.
Hope this helps

Subject: Submitting forms with javascript in struts
Hello,
I do have a problem, because I don't know how to submit a form with
javascript
in struts.
Normally, I'm submitting forms like this:
I'm receiving the value with the getter-method getMyvalue() of the
appropriate
ActionForm.
This time, I want to submit the form with a
Some text
dosubmit is a function like
dosubmit(what)
{
document.formname.value=what;
document.formname.submit();
}
The browser submits the form (I'm getting no javascript error), but I don't
get
the value of document.formname.value.
I would be glad to get some help,
kind regards,
Andreas Hartmann
BTW:
Is there a way to send another value in the html:submit - button as this,
which
is displayed to the user?

Greetings,
I remember getting something like this to work in the past, I have searched
and cannot find what is missing, or what I'm doing wrong, or if it is even
possible.
I want to connect a set of checkboxes to a HashMap in my action form.
In my ActionForm I have a two methods like
public void setValue ( String key, boolean value );
public boolean getValue ( String key );
in the form reset method I clear the HashMap.
For the Action Class method of the class I initialize the hashmap like:
theForm.setValue ( "Foo", false );
theForm.setValue ( "Bar", true );
In my JSP i have tried many things like
...
...
When I do this I get a an exception
no getter method for property 'value("Foo")' of bean
org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN
I have tried many alternatives, too many to post here. Is this supposed to
work?
Thanks in advance

RE: display the form values from view page
I would advise you read the sections
http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/introduction.html that explain how an
ActionForm works and how you get/set the form properties.
You need an ActionForm linked to your Action and struts will scrape the
properties from your page into the form and you just manage the form.

This is a limitation of Tiles. If I remember rightly, it was slightly
disconsenting to look in Ted' books "Struts In Action" and see an
example where there is a Tiles Definition with $ dollar notation
and then read the text that it will never work.
I think the only to do is with a special Struts or Tiles Action class.
In other word you write an action `ViewInterceptor' that accepts a
parameter `pageInclude' which is URL to a page in your application.
You translate the token ${skin-directory} to whatever in relevant e.g a
Folder name
for skin path. You can invent an token and semantics you want.
This actions simply request dispatch includes the transformed page URL.
You tell the request processor not to perform action forward by returning
`null' in your action.
The above works because Tiles is itself performing a request dispatcher
include,
so the `ViewInterceptor' is just another level of indirection. The advantage
is you can also set tiles attributes and push them to the request scope
for example. etc etc
It would be better if Struts Tiles had dynamic binding on the values of
definitions (or components).We could employ the following schemes, then :
(*) allowed String token substitution
(*) access to Expression Language evaluator
(*) had hooks like JSF with it VariableResolver interface.

That gets a lot of people even though it's in all the documentation. Looks like there is a similarity. But not sure.

Also - are you resetting all of the properties in your forms classes. If not, some of the data set by one user can bleed over to another user. As using DynaValidatorForm, not sure how to reset the properties. In the app, are using Struts form-beans (org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm). And in the action classes, calling the delegate by passing the cdto (custom data transfer object), which contains the request data. And when the delegate calls the EJB's, it gets the data from database and populates the custom data transfer object and sent back to the action class. And in the action class, this cdto is copied back to form. The wrong data came up for one user only. Is there any chance that this cdto is shared and being used for two users. Couldn't think of a chance, but...? Is there any chance by POINT #2 above. And EJB's are stateless and Entity Beans are with container managed persitance. Once again thanks for your suggestions.

RE: Multiple user - problem
The class org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm has a reset method. For a long time I would add form property variables without handling them in the reset method. I would get old values in the form and was getting spurious data in the forms. It is hard for me to believe you got past a single user with out resetting the properties, unless you only write to them. If you use the form properties to assist in populating your form, the properties need to be reset. -Original Message- From: Dave Newton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 10:59 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Multiple user - problem Ray Madigan wrote: >Also - are you resetting all of the properties in your forms classes.

I want everything about this attribute to be dealt with in the layout file. I do not have a definition for this tile in the struts-config file. I don't understand what a tiles controller is.

Action Messages
I am looking for the ability to handle the ActionMessage in a different way in my application. In the validate method of the form I create a new instance of ActionErrors and add ActionMessage instances to it. In the Action dispatch method I call validate and get a non empty ActionErrors instance. To figure how to make this work, I can get the iterator to the keys and copy it to the request attribute like Iterator iter = errors.properties ( ); request.setAttribute ( "ERRORS", errors ); but I can't get the messages associated with the property to allow me to manipulate my page. What I would like is: for ActionErrors to be a collection, the I could iterate on the errors and get the key and the values. I could iterate on the values, or reteive a specific one. I want the ability to inspect an error condition and if it exists or not and generate jsp accordingly with an error message. Does anyone know how to do this? it would look like, but I dream too much - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

With one form per jsp page, the menu needs to reference the form to create the url's for the body, and the body needs to reference the form for the context for the body. The problem is then the menu needs to know the name of the form. With several different forms I don't see how to manage this. I can see several choices: 1) One large form to cover all possible cases, It would have to have a large number of attributes. 2) A form for each set of body jsp's and a special bean in the Session attribute scope to maintain the page context. 3) A seperate instance of the navigate jsp for each set of body jsp's.

RE: Tiles Question
I have found a suspecious behaviour with tiles. If I set the Attribute with an all lower case or all upper case String everything seems to work fine. When I use mixed case with a string like "Foo" tiles won't import the attribute into the tile, and what is worse, when the tile return, the attribute cann nolonger be found with the mixed case attribute name. Is this a defect? or is mixed case attributes a situation to stay away from. I programatically assign the String, so I have to String.toLowerCase ( ), to make my situation work. If this is a bug, I will submit a report. -Original Message- From: Sean Schofield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 8:22 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Tiles Question > - Root Cause - > java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: > org.apache.log4j.Category.log(Ljava/lang/String;Lorg/apache/log4j/Level;Ljav > a/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V >at > org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JCategoryLog.trace(Log4JCategoryLog.java > :77) >at > org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources.(PropertyMessageResour > ces.java:84) If you look at the RootCause of your application you'll notice something about log4j.

Ray,
>From your code examples, it seems like you are using struts-el and
struts-tiles-el. Is this correct? If so I can make suggestions but I can't
test it (not using them - I have JSP 2.0 in my Tomcat 5.0.2? + STruts v1.2.4
setup).
HOWEVER, I have a few well-directed questions that might explain your
issue(s):
I see you have done logging but have you done them with the iterated names
to be 100% sure they are loaded? Such as:
(your loop here)
request.setAttribute ( department.getItem ( ), departments );
System.out.println ( "Department: " + department.getItem ( ) + ",
collection: " + departments );
I see you are saving the "departments" object to the request, not the
"department". Yet in your tile:put you are trying to put
departments.getItem(). Is there such a thing or did you mean to save the
"department" object so your tile:put could do a department.getItem(). From
the code you included (see next line), I'm expecting there to be JSP errors
or something logged because I can't see how it could exist - how can the
collection have a string getItem() method unless you extended the collection
Interface? This makes me think the objects are NOT being loaded properly
from this JSP tile call:
You should do the same full logging/printing in your JSP as I recommended in
your Action class. You should be able to import all direct Tile variables
using a generic tile:importAttribute tag:
Then you could manually check that the JSP can see them using something like
this (it's late so don't penalize me for bad coding if this isn't the exact
syntax):
I hope these directed questions help point you in the right direction with
your debugging.

Ray,
Do you have an example of your tile definitions and stub pages I can look
at?

RE: Problem with Formbean validate method forwarding to input pag e
Why don't you tell your action not to validate, and call validate yourself
in your action. Seems like you will have all of the control you need.

The form bean is populated by the RequestProcessor, but you can put your
logic to validate the session where ever you want. The easiest way to
understand it is to just look at the source code for
org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor. It has a number of
processXXX methods, one being processPreprocess. You might want to put
your session validation there, which does it before the bean is
instatiated, populated and validated and before processActionPerform is
called.

RE: DynaAction or Map Backed Form?
Im not sure how to do it with the iterate tag, I use the c:forEach tag in
the jstl taglib.
It goes something like this:
Assume service is a bean with accessors getDocuments ( ) and getId ( )
Assume document is a bean wit accessors getId ( ) and getName ( )

Here is the Data structure:
I have two tables (Services, Documents)
I hit the database and pull two separate Collections.
I need to iterate over both collections... here is the relationship:
ServiceID
ServiceName
Documents
DocumentID
DocumentName
So a service object contains a collection of documents
I need to be able to output something like:
DocumentName
---
Contract
Deposit
Contract
Deposit
In my action, I created a DynaActionForm.
I set a java.util.ArrayList property called requiredDocuments in
struts-config.xml
In my action I make the database calls, then I iterate the services
collection creating a RequiredDocumentsBean (contains serviceID,
serviceName, and documents Collection)
I populate the first two properties (serviceID, and serviceName) and then
iterate the documents collection setting a LabelValueBean
Here is the code:
<-- snip -->
while(sIterator.hasNext()){ // for each service...
RequiredDocumentsBean rd = new RequiredDocumentsBean();
ServiceBeanLocal service = (ServiceBeanLocal)sIterator.next();
rd.setServiceId(service.getId());
rd.setServiceName(service.getServiceName());
Iterator dIterator = documents.iterator();
while(dIterator.hasNext()){ // for each available document
DocumentBeanValue document =
DocumentBeanValue)dIterator.next();
rd.getRequiredDocuments().add(new
LabelValueBean(document.getDocumentName(),document.getId()));
}
requiredDocuments.add(rd);
}
myForm.set("allRequiredDocuments",requiredDocuments);
request.setAttribute("allRequiredDocuments",requiredDocuments);
<-- snip -->
Thanks

It isn't clear what you have to work with. Is services a map of some sort,
or is it a collection.
Either way you should use the iterate tag in the logic tag set.
If you could explain the data structure better, it would be easier to help.

Sorry... to add...
Each Service may have a unknown set of documents...
E.g. Services:
001 Catering
002 Party
Documents:
001 Contract
002 Deposit
Should yield:
Contract
Deposit
Contract
Deposit

Subject: DynaAction or Map Backed Form?
Hello All,
I have the following scenario:
I need to populate a form using a runtime generated set of form
properties...
Essentially I have two collections I pull from a database
Services (serviceID,serviceName)
Documents (documentID,documentName)
I want to populate a set of checkboxes for each service such that I achieve:
documentName
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Amin

Struts Form Validation
I have a problem that I cannot see why it behaves the way it does, and was
hoping a couple more eyeballs might help, thanks!
I have a jsp that has
A couple of input controls including username
When the user types in all of the fields correcly this work fine.
The execute method of action signin is called and all is well.
When the user doesn't fill in one of the fields is when the problem shows
itself.
The action looks like this
When the user doesn't fill in the form correctly, the validate method of the
form is executed, and the page that is displayed is at URL
/signin.do
and not the input page as I thought was to happen, based on the doc.
The validate method look like this!
public final class SigninForm
extends ActionForm {
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request) {
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
if ((username == null) || (username.length() < 1))
errors.add("username", new
ActionError("error.username.required"));
if ((password == null) || (password.length() < 1))
errors.add("password", new
ActionError("error.password.required"));
return errors;
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
