struts website
was wondering whats the purpose of the links "struts applications", "struts sandbox" are? the pages they point to are virtually empty. anything coming in (for those pages) ? what's the scoop on this? is it to host sample applications that work on struts? riyaz - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: long struts-config.xml file
depends on what version of struts u're working on. (i have never worked with 200 or so actions). :) 1) i reduced the number of actions using wildcards in action mapping, and a couple of hidden parameters that i pass to actions. kind of genericised the actions. 2) use "extends" where possible, mostly Actions and Forms, _especially_ Forms. 3) using extensions of dynaforms for my base forms (reduce dumb form beans. whats the name for these info containers? i forgot). bloats struts-config but reduces code to write. 4) while this may/will not :) reduce the size of struts-config, i've found this to be invaluable with large struts-configs. with struts 1.3 (in development), u might want to check out the new "key="key" value="value" /> - ability to set arbitrary properties. assists in genericising (eg: do something/somethingextra/nothing/differentthing in the called action base on some keyed property value) ... solves a lot of my pains :) riyaz John Henry Xu wrote: Hi all, In a project I am working on, we have a very lengthy struts-config.xml file to handle complex actions jsps (200+) take.

Re: date validation

date validation
i've got a date validation set up with datePattern "-MM-dd", ie standard JDBC SQL format. but date validation seems to pass values of type "1980" (without month or day) and subsequently i get a SQL DATE conversion error. is this expected behavior for date validation? is there a way to enforce that year-month-day be enforced? riyaz - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: OT Friday - Random sorting
i may be missing something here, but if random is what u want in a
collection, then y don't u use Collections.shuffle() ?

Hello.
I am trying to write a comparator that randomly sorts a collection.
I have something like this:
new Comparator() {
/**
* @see java.util.Comparator#compare(java.lang.Object,
java.lang.Object)
*/
public int compare(Object object1, Object object2) {
long time = new Date().getTime();
Random random1 = new Random(time);
Integer x1 = new Integer(random1.nextInt());
random1.setSeed(++time);
Integer x2 = new Integer(random1.nextInt());
return x1.compareTo(x2);
}
}
But sadly to no avail.
Has anyone done this before or have any suggestions.

Re: Newbie Q - Rendering drop down menu
:) when i first read HTML, my first impression was SELECT.size was the same INPUT.size hehe. ie it renders a box/select which contains that many approximate characters IMHO, honestly, i think its a bad choice of attribute name. "rows" as in TEXTAREA.rows would have been more appropriate than "size". in fact, what's the way to set the width of a SELECT box in HTML, not using CSS ? riyaz Jeff Beal wrote: In other words, the size attribute that you are using *tells* the browser to show up to ten rows from the selection list at once.

Re: Using multiple resource bundles

seems fine. you should declare your message resource in struts-config with the name "mybundle" and it should contain the key "myField.displayname" r u doing that?

Re: Validator inheritance
i asked this same question and the answer i got here is: this was added to Validator but not public release has been made after this. u can download a source distro of validator and compile and use it. > the above should work as is - i am using it :) riyaz Yaroslav Novytskyy wrote: Hi!

struts 1.3 dev with validator 1.2 dev

for input formatting
hi guys. i would like to standardize some fields on a submitted form. eg: FirstName field shud be first letter capital and the rest simple regardless of whatever Case the submitted text is. am NOT looking to validate against a mask but rather format it transparently what is the best way to do it? 1) is it possible to do this in Validator rules? Is the bean passed into validateXXX(bean, ... ) the actual object in the form or a copy? if it is actual object then i can just create a custom validateXXX() that just standardizes 2) its difficult to manipulate the as it has not built in mechanism to standardize field values. can go for a thingy (write RuleSet, custom ActionForm, custom factory ...) but it seems too much work thanx riyaz - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
html:multibox
hi
reading from past postings this subject has been much talked about.
but not finding a solution to my liking i post this question.
i want a user a see a set of checkboxes some selected some not. the
user is allowed to check uncheck anyone of them.
upon form submission, i want the value of the checkbox which can be
any value of type int to be submitted as an array to form. ie the
value can be (1,2,3 ... 1000,1001,10...). also, is it possible
to check a checkbox for any of these vales?
my form : DynaActinForm has fields
id:integer // not given here
selected:integer[]
all:integer[]
ok: now am trouble in jsp ;(
also, for form prepopulation, is it possible to set the selected,all
array types with
form.set("propname", index, ValueObject);
does the form take care of the "increasing index" ??
thanx
riyaz
