I also tried with JSTL now without success.
It's very strange, since sometimes it works and then it reappears again.

I've seen this behavior on newly created instances. Hibernate doesn't 
know the ID until the object is persisted to the DB. Hibernate tries to 
delay this as long as possible to minimise DB writes. You would have 
thought a request for the ID would force a DB write but Hibernate 
doesn't seem to implement this behavior. If you want the ID you need to 
force the DB write first.

RE: How to pretty print HTML from Struts

[Steve Higham]

Yes - I've got some complex tags and the resultant HTML has loads of
redundant whitespace in all the wrong places. Trying to compare with
original mock-ups takes for ever.

I like doing this with a filter because it's easy to remove if I'm having
problems later. I've just got it working and it's doing what I want. I
appreciate it may cause problems later...

The correct config is: -


  JTidyFilter
  *.action

 

  StrutsFilter
  /*


It was just the ordering of the filters that was causing problems.

Is there a better way of tidying up the HTML being emitted from a Struts
View?

Kind Regards,

Steve

Ugh. IMO relying on textual representation of a DOM is fragile and broken,
especially if you're unable to ignore whitespace-is there a reason you're
doing it like this?

How to pretty print HTML from Struts

[Steve Higham]

My Struts Views are made up of JSP and Tiles and the resulting HTML is
untidy to say the least. This causes problems when I try to compare it with
HTML mock-ups. To solve this I'm trying to use the JTidy library to pretty
print the HTML output to the browser.

 

I'm using the JTidyFilter configured as follows: -

 

 

   StrutsFilter

   /*

 

  

 

   JTidyFilter

   /*

 

 

This seems to be failing because the Struts Filter Dispatchers only pass the
request down the Filter Chain if it is not a Struts Request (e.g. *.action).
Therefore this config will try to pretty-print *.css, *.js, *.img etc. but
completely ignores the outputs of my actions.

 

Does anyone know a sensible way of pretty printing the Struts HTML output to
the browser?

 

Many Thanks,

 

Steve

RE: Does the StrutsTestCase test filters defined in web.xml?

[Steve Higham]

Hi Miguel,

I haven't used the StrutsSpringTestCase however I have made use of the 
StrutsTestCase.

This only tests the interceptor stack / Action / Result. There is no web server 
involved and no attempt to render the resulting page. Therefore I would be 
surprised if anything from web.xml is called.

You could try looking at Apache Cactus or Apache HttpClient to test this 
behaviour? Alternatively if you generate the file within Struts then the 
StrutsTestCase will suffice. I've generated exports from Struts this way.

Cheers,

Steve

Subject: Does the StrutsTestCase test filters defined in web.xml?

Dear all,

I am using StrutsSpringTestCase (which extends StrutsTestCase) to perform some 
acceptance tests (under the skin). I am also using Displaytag 
(www.displaytag.org/1.2/ ) to build some tables in the view.
This tag supports excel/pdf export, which uses a filter you configure in 
web.xml [1]

The way the filter works is, in short: a (odd looking, numerical) parameter is 
added to the request. The filter checks for the existence of that parameter 
and, if it exists, creates the pdf/excel. 

I want to test the creation of this file (and its contents). However, when I 
debug the StrutsSpringTestCase test with a breakpoint on that filter it does 
not stop there, so my questions are:

1) Does the StrutsTestCase not pass through other filters in your web.xml, and 
only goes through the struts filter?
2) If so, is there anything else in the struts tests that could help me out? 
How do you suggest I perform this test?
 
Thank you,

Miguel Almeida

I have the follwoing questions :

1) What is meant by :
@Results({
@Result(name="success", type="redirectAction", params = {"actionName" ,
"orders"})
})

in OrdersController.java ?

2) Meaning of the entries in struts.xml:










3) a) How the code "understands and decides" which method to call in
OrdersController.java  ?
b) We have *"return "editNew";" *etc return types . Where exactly are
these being used and how does the applciation decide which page to navigate
based on the return types ?

RE: StrutsTestCase, jUnit and file upload

[Steve Higham]

Thanks to Chris, Gabriel for your comments.

I finally got this to work yesterday. A neat solution probably requires
refactoring StrutsTestCase and deriving a new class
(StrutsMultipartTestCase) from it. In the meantime the following changes
will work subject to a couple of limitations: -

This only supports upload of a single file - although fairly simple to
extend for multiple files.
I've use Mockito for a couple of mocks
It's not very clean :-(

First you need spring-web-x.y.z.jar on your classpath. This comes with the
junit plugin.

Your test class needs the following override. This is a cut & paste job from
StrutsTestCase except for the request creation line.

/**
 * We need to override this method so we can use class 
 * MockMultipartHttpServletRequest for the request.
 */
@Override
protected void initServletMockObjects() 
{
  servletContext = new MockServletContext(resourceLoader);
  response = new MockHttpServletResponse();
  request = new MockMultipartHttpServletRequest();
  pageContext = new MockPageContext(servletContext, request, response);
}

We now need a new version of getActionProxy with additional parameters as
follows: -

/**
 * We need our own version to handle the file uploading
 * @param uri  struts action uri
 * @param contentType  mime content type
 * @param filename  name reported to action
 * @param file  uploaded file
 * @return  ActionProxy
 */
protected ActionProxy 
getActionProxy (String uri, String contentType, String filename, File file)
{
// Create the proxy
ActionProxy result = super.getActionProxy (uri);

// Not part of upload but I think required for SessionAware
ActionContext context = result.getInvocation ().getInvocationContext
();
if (context.getSession () == null)
{
context.setSession (new HashMap ());
}

// Wrap the request in a MultiPartRequestWrapper
MultiPartRequest mpr = 
createMultiPartRequest (contentType, filename,
file);
MultiPartRequestWrapper wrapper = 
new MultiPartRequestWrapper (mpr, request, null);
ServletActionContext.setRequest (wrapper);

return result;
}

protected MultiPartRequest 
createMultiPartRequest (String contentType, String fileName, File file)
{
MultiPartRequest result = Mockito.mock (MultiPartRequest.class);
Vector fileParameterNames = new Vector ();
fileParameterNames.add (PROP_NAME);
Enumeration enumFpn = fileParameterNames.elements ();
Mockito.when (result.getFileParameterNames ()).thenReturn (enumFpn);
String [] contentTypes = new String [1];
contentTypes [0] = contentType;
Mockito.when (result.getContentType (PROP_NAME)).thenReturn
(contentTypes);
String [] fileNames = new String [1];
fileNames [0] = fileName;
Mockito.when (result.getFileNames (PROP_NAME)).thenReturn
(fileNames);
File [] files = new File [1];
files [0] = file;
Mockito.when (result.getFile (PROP_NAME)).thenReturn (files);

return result;
}

private static final String PROP_NAME = "propertyName";

This assumes that your upload action has methods setPropertyName (File),
setPropertyNameContentType (String), setPropertyNameFileName (String).

The @Test methods now include the following: -

File uploadedFile = new File ("path to test file");
ActionProxy proxy = getActionProxy ("uri", "content type e.g. text/csv",
file.getName (), file);
assertTrue (proxy.execute ().equals ("expected action result");

Note that the calls to the action are generated internally. You don't need
any request.setParameter (...) calls.

Cheers,

Steve

RE: event On struts

[Steve Higham]

Hi,

Struts is very different to .NET. The underlying technologies are used in a
very open fashion. The good thing is that this means you can do pretty much
anything you like. The downside is that you need to understand the
underlying technologies and do some legwork.

As suggested you can use embed JavaScript in the HTML generated by Struts
from JSP or a similar technology. You need to create this JavaScript.
However you can use whatever your favourite JS library is to simplify
things. I've got some code using JQuery that parses the HTML and adds
JavaScript extensions to standard HTML controls. This provides the basic
mechanism to react to user selection etc.

If you want to, you could then make something like a JSON call back to the
Server. Struts can react to this using appropriate Result types. I think
there's a plug-in somewhere that helps this process but I haven't used it.

Enjoy...

Steve

The sub-packages names defines the url namespace.
For example, you can access the foo.actions.HalloController with

Getting unexpected ActionInvocation

[Steve Mitchell]

I’m doing a redirect with annotations: @Result(name = “success”,
type=”redirect”, location=”home.action”), however, the resulting
ActionInvocation is a ServletDispatcherResult instead of
ServletRedirectResult. This is an issue because I'm attempting to use the
RedirectMessageInterceptor  which expects a ServletRedirectResult. Why would
@Result type "redirect" result in a ServletDispatcherResult ?

Hi All,

RE: Iterating over a List of Lists

Hi David,

My code doesn't include an editing capability so I don't have any working

from a JSP page.

Are you getting any sub-lists back or are they all null?

Thanks for the reply.

I am able to display the contents of the nested list (as indicated in your
example). However, I want to make the list contents editable and return them
to the Struts action. For example, something similar to:









Displaying the contents of the nested list is not the problem. I'm
experiencing problems indexing the textfields when returning the list to the
Struts Action. Perhaps the following order of events will clarify my
problem:

1. First Struts Action retrieves records from the database and populates the
List>.
2. JSP page correctly displays all of the List>.
3. (broken step) Second Struts Action would like to receive the
List> and save them back to the database.

The problem seems to be that my JSP page does not properly index the
textfield elements. Struts is then unable to parse the results back into the
List> for the Second Action. So what names should I give the
different textfields to allow Struts to parse them into a
List>?

Hello,

I am trying to use a nested List> with a Struts 2 Action and
a JSP page. I would like to iterate through the JSP page to display the
existing data, allow the user to edit the data, and post the form to a
second Action. However, my second Struts Action always receives back a null

This is how I am currently setting my indices:

myList[0][0].property
myList[0][1].property

myList[1][0].property
...

My JSP code looks like:


   
   



Inside my second Struts action, I have the following code (the first action
merely retrieves the list from the database and it works correctly since the
JSP does populate correctly with all of the db records):

private List> myList = new ArrayList>();

public List> getMyList() { return myList; }

public void setMyList(List> numbers) { myList = numbers; }

// this execute method is called when posting the form and always returns
null

public String execute() {
  for (List theList : myList) {
  if (theList == null) {

RE: Struts2 Interceptor

[Steve]

Hi Stefano,

This looks like an awkward design as you would go through half the
interceptor stack expecting to call one action, and half the stack expecting
to call a second action.

As an alternative could you do something like the following:-

Create class (or Interface) ReceivingAction with sub classes as the
"actions" you want to assign dynamically.

Create a true action class ForwardingAction with a property ReceivingAction.

The interceptor can now dynamically create the class required (derived from
/ implementing ReceivingAction) and set it on the current action
(ForwardingAction). It could also place the ReceivingAction instance on the
ValueStack.

The main action methods you are interested in (e.g. execute) could simply
forward to the ReceivingAction instance. You will need to be careful about
interceptor order if you want to do things like set your parameter values on
your ReceivingAction.

I haven't implemented this myself, although I have implemented all the
techniques I have described. I'm fairly confident that this will achieve
what you want.

Cheers,

Steve

Suppose i've the interceptor "interceptor-router" placed in the stack and
the client call MyAction.action, when the interceptor intercept the call is
possible to 'redirect' the call to MyDifferentAction.action from the

I've seen that there is action chaining but this require to know at build

RE: Accessing protected resources via a login page

[Steve]

Hi Stuart,

You're quite right. I'm not sure how I missed this as I actually logged the
output from getQueryString! Still, this has certainly simplified my code.

My interceptor calls setUrl on the action. This URL is then passed through a
 tag on the login form via a getUrl call. 

If the interceptor finds that the user is not logged in it aborts returning
"login". This is handled as follows: -


  

/goLoginPage.action?url=${encodedUrl}




Here I specifically encode the URL. My base action has the following getter
in addition to the normal getUrl and setUrl

public String getEncodedUrl () throws java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException 
{ 
return java.net.URLEncoder.encode (url, "UTF-8"); 
}

Struts automatically decodes the parameters so no decoding method is
required.

Cheers,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Glad to hear you got it working - just as an observation (and I really
haven't tested this to check, so it is a question), but would
HttpServletRequest.getQueryString() not have provided you with the original
parameters? So a combination of both getRequestURL and getQueryString could
have provided you with the complete request string.

Anyway, the real reason for responding is that I'm not sure what you mean
with when you mention the single parameter issue. At some stage soon I'll
probably be adding query string (parameter) support into our interceptor and
if you could post an example, I can file it away for future reference.

Thanks
Stuart

Unfortunately getRequestURL () doesn't return the parameters and I couldn't

This worked fine with a single parameter but failed with two or more

Subject: Re: Accessing protected resources via a login page

Hi Steve,

What you are asking is relatively simple really - we implemented an
interceptor to capture the current request URL and store it in the current
value stack. We can subsequently reference it in our JSPs and use it in
forms in several places to enable us to redirect to the original page after
certain events occur. Here is the intercept method:

  public String intercept(ActionInvocation invocation) throws Exception {
HttpServletRequest request = ServletActionContext.getRequest();
StringBuffer returnUrl = new StringBuffer(request.getRequestURL());
invocation.getStack().set("returnURL", returnUrl);return
invocation.invoke();  }

In your example, you would add setUrl and getUrl methods to the login action
class and then use the ${returnURL} in your JSP to create the request
parameter / hidden input.

Also, don't forget about the ability to use OGNL within your results... so
your result could be of type "redirect" sending to a location of ${url}
(that being the parameter name in your example below, and resolving to
LoginAction.getUrl().

Regards
Stuart

p.s. the reason for using the interceptor, rather than just accessing the
request URL directly in the JSP is that by the time the JSP is rendered,
that URL points to the JSP itself, rather than the action.

Use Acegi, it has such functionality built-in or store request path in
session when redirecting to login page and after successful login,
read it from session and redirect to it. It should be achievable with
the same interceptor you created.

RE: Accessing protected resources via a login page

[Steve]

I would rather avoid using Acegi as I'm not using Spring. I'm using Struts 2
and EJB3.

I appreciate the Acegi can be used without Spring. But it still seems like
overkill to solve this one issue.

I was hoping to generate a call to login.action like
".../login.action?url=". I guess storing the
request string in the session would work just as well. Do you know the
easiest way to access the request string from an interceptor or action?

Accessing protected resources via a login page

[Steve]

Hi everyone,

 

I have an application that insists on a user being logged in before they can
access specific resources.

 

Currently, if a user who is not logged in, attempts to access these
resources, they are simply redirected to the login page. This works fine and
is implemented using an interceptor.

 

I now want to enhance this behaviour so that, on successful login, they are
forwarded to the original page requested. This means I need to save the
original URL requested, including arbitrary parameters, and forward to this
URL from the login page.

 

Can anyone advise on the best way to do this?

 

Cheers,

 

Steve

Hi,

My action lookks like this

public String generateReport() {

//use api to build PDF
//the api takes an output stream

//bout is my output stream
//file stream is a member of my Action (referenced in the  fileStream param)
//fileStream is an InputStream
 fileStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(bout.toByteArray());

return SUCCESS;
}

You will have to parameterize the XML to handle multiple file types:

 ${mimeType}

Which you will set in your action.  Same goes for the other parameters.

I'm not sure how to get the browser to display a save dialog, I think
it has to do with the mime type.  I think application/octet-stream
will work.

There is. Create a simple action in your struts xml file and map it to the

I haven't done this myself (although I have derived my actions from
ActionSupport). But I believe it will do what you want.

RE: Problem dispatching in /content dir

[Steve]

Jim,

The normal process is to call the action e.g. 

Struts will then (eventually) call the actions execute () method. This
returns a string that is mapped to the correct jsp page using a file like
my-struts.xml. The mapping will look something like: -


/content/EverythingOK.jsp
/content/ErrorPage.jsp


If you don't follow this paradigm then the framework will not be able to
perform the actions processing work or make any data available to the JSP
page. In other words you won't be using the framework.

Of course you can link directly to an html page. However I don't see the
reason to link to a jsp page unless it can pull some dynamic content out
from the framework.

Does this help?

Kind Regards,

Steve

Re: [struts] params and staticParams

[Steve Sether]

I can't seem to find any indication where this ever wound up from 
several months ago, but I found the same issue independently after 
making the (poor) assumption that a statically assigned parameter 
wouldn't be overridden by a request parameter.  I did some searching and 
found this thread.


Like Dale, I've made the same fix in my default interceptor stack and 
fixed this.


To me, this is a potential security issue.  It's very handy to define a 
parameter passed into the action via the action configuration.  It's 
easy to make the assumption that these parameters can't be overwritten 
by the user.  It seems to me the framework should by default be 
configured with security in mind.


So, can anyone tell me where this wound up?  I'd just like to add my 
voice requesting the default order be changed.

Re: Passing a List through a hidden field

Thanks Gabriel and Jeromy,

I had thought of iterating through the List but was trying to avoid
generating a mass of HTML hidden fields.

I like it how the hidden tag translates the List into a meaningful
String, it's just a shame that Struts/XWork doesn't handle it when the
form is submitted.

I have raised an Improvement request on the JIRA
(https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2612) and will continue to
investigate a way around this.  If anyone else has some bright ideas
it would be more than welcome.

Passing a List through a hidden field

[Steve Akins]

I have a List called "ids" which contains 4 Strings "22030", "6496",
"6457", "6448"

When the following tag is used:


It produces the following HTML:




When the form is submitted the "ids" List is populated with one String
"[22030, 6496, 6457, 6448]" instead of 4 Strings "22030", "6496",
"6457", "6448".


This looks like a problem with how the XWorkBasicConverter is working
or I have just not figured out how to do this yet.

I would have thought that there's support for passing a List through a
form without the need for creating a custom converter for this.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to overcome this problem?

S2 Textfield tag date formatting

[Steve Akins]

I'm trying to use a textfield tag for date input.  I need to format this in
the form dd/MM/ HH:mm:ss

The teaxtfield tag formats the date to a Locale based format
DateFormat.SHORT  via XWorkBasicConverter.  For my locale this turns out to
be dd/MM/yy. This is not the format I want.



DateTimePicker wont allow you to apply a style class to the input field so
it wont format.  Bug has been reported in Struts JIRA (WW-1778) and a fix
made.  Need to wait for Struts 2.1 before this will work so I can't use
this.

Using the value parameter and a date tag won't work because this overwrites
the value entered.  If the user enters a value that can't be converted to a
date it isn't re-displayed, the field is displayed empty.


  

  


In the S2 guide for Type Conversion (
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/type-conversion.html) it has a note saying
not to use Type Conversion for dates.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?


Thanks in advance.

RE: [S2][Tabbed panel] posting data from one tab

[Clement, Steve]

You should be able to set the listenTopic attribute on the div for that
panel, and then notify the topic (I think this is on the s:submit tag,
but I could be mistaken). See
http://struts.apache.org/2.0.9/docs/tag-reference.html for more details.

This works if your theme "ajax". 

One thing I have found, however, is that if you use the rich text editor
for a textarea, the content of that textarea does not submit for some
reason. Other form controls submit fine.

Is there an easy way to suppress the parameter exceptions when I use a

additional maintenance if the form and model change.

Currently, I am using the paramsPrepareParamsStack. I do not want to put
the setters for the params in my action (that's the whole point of using
model-driven, right?), but the logs complain because the params are
looking for the setters in the action even though they are set on the
model.

struts2 ajax theme and textarea

[Clement, Steve]

I am working with Struts2 within a tabbed panel in an ajax theme. In one
of the divs, I am using the  in a form that uses the ajax
theme. The problem is that the content of the textarea does not submit
the new content if I have the notifyTopics attribute set in the submit
tag.

This problem only occurs in IE. In Firefox, the submit action changes
the textarea WYSIWYG text area (provided by Dojo in Struts 2) into a
regular html  textarea right before submitting. The changed (or new)
content is then sent to the action.

In IE7, however, only the originally populated content is sent, not the
changes.

If I don't turn on the notifyTopics property, then the textarea content
is submitted, but the div does not refresh, so there is no way the user
can be sure that the submission has completed.

Here are the relevant code snippets:

Main Index Page:

   


${user.firstName}
${user.lastName}


   
   
   


Edit Page:




 





All changes to the checkbox and textfield tags are properly sent to the
releaseSave action. Only the textarea tag refuses to send the modified
content in IE7.

So either I lose the WYSIWYG editor widget that I get when the form is
in ajax theme, I lose the user experience of refreshing the "emergency"
div, or I lose the changes made to the content textarea. None of these
options sits well.

Any suggestions?

Struts 2 interceptor and spring problem

[Steve C]

Hello.  I am in the process of migrating my application from webwork
2.2.x to Struts 2 and have encountered a problem.  I have a custom
interceptor which has a member variable injected by Spring.  This
object is a request scoped bean which is contructed using a factory
method from another bean which is a singleton.  So, it looks like
something like this:


MyInterceptor
-->private RequestBasedBean rbb
--> @required
void setRequestBasedBean


in applicationContext.xml:

 
   
 

 

 


This worked fine in webwork, but in struts 2, it looks like it is
trying to construct MyInterceptor at startup time and failing because
when it injects the requestBaseBean, there is no request context and
it fails (Stack trace below).  Note that I am using a request-scoped
bean and it is sort of referred to by a singleton, but I don't think I
need to use a scoped-proxy (which fails anyways, I tried it).  Again,
this worked fine in the WebWork implementation.  So, I'm trying to see

a) what changed with struts 2 interceptor intialization.
b) if it isn't technically a struts 2 problem, what workaround exist
in Spring (I may take this to the spring forums if this is not an
issue around struts 2).

Thanks!  And there is a reason why there are all the singletons and
factory stuff.  Related to legacy support and non-spring aware code.

You are confusing  with

definition (or a definition defined with ) in the 
page, the second defines the definition itself. It's the latter that the

page you mentioned refers to.
If you define a definition inside tiles-defs.xml, you HAVE TO insert it 
with , or forward to the definition itself.

  "parent.jsp" is a test page where I want to import the content of
"bar.jsp".
 
  "bar.jsp" contains only the string "testing" - no XML, JSP, HTML.

  The reason I did not put  in the JSP is
because on this page:

http://struts.apache.org/1.3.5/struts-tiles/examples.html

  it recommends that the definitions be put in tiles-defs.xml, not in
the JSP, which is what I did in Struts 1.2.9

struts 1.3.5 tiles question

[Steve Duran]

 
  I have been unable to get Tiles to work under Struts 1.3.5.  I also
noticed that none of the Struts 1.3.5 examples use Tiles.   Below is a
summary of the problem.  The only place where my implementation deviates
from the documentation is in the tiles-defs.xml file.  If anyone know
what I need to do to get it to work, it would be appreciated.  Thanks.
 
==
 
  I installed Tomcat 5.5.20 onto a Red Hat Linux 4.0 box.  I opened up
the "blank.war" app that comes with Struts 1.3.5.  I modified web.xml
and struts-config.xml as specified in the Struts 1.3.5 Tiles
documentation.
 
  Here's my test JSP:
 
  <%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-tiles"; prefix="tiles" %>
 

  
FooBar
  
  

  

 
 
  Here's my tiles-defs.xml:

FormFile for uploading, via SSL

[Steve Bement]

We are using FormFile to do file uploads.  Everything has been working 
fine with the app for months now.  Yesterday we put the application 
behind SSL, and now file upload no longer works.  In the action class, 
when we get the FormFile out of the form, it is null.  Is there 
something we have to change, in order for this to work with SSL?

Sensible enough, but if you find you have to, here's one pseudoapproach
I've never tried that could work:

. programmatically generate the xml text for an SVG image
  (the images themselves don't look all that complex, and the key text
overlaid is just text at this point)

. convert the svg to some binary web image format like png (e.g., via
cocoon)

Michael, why do you continue to waste your time on such a "big pile of

The problem with that proposal is that it sounds like your current 
practice. The current practice has already been tested and not 
produced good results. You have fallen further and further behind 
other competing projects and that is why it became necessary to bring 
in Webwork (heretofore a competitor) so that you could have something 
reasonably up-to-date to offer people.


To continue with the same practices and expect radically different 
results does not seem rational. It is encouraging that you seem to see 
that there is a problem and are making a proposal. However, I think 
your proposal would have to actually involve a change of some sort.


The one I suggested was drastically lowering the barriers to letting 
people directly commit code to the repository. To many people, this 
sounds very radical. People have suggested that this would lead to all 
kinds of problems. However, that can be put to an empirical test. 
Given the failure of your current policies, it is not as if you have 
so much to lose.




Thanks for the advice. We should implement this new process right away.

I think the flaw in my analogy is that nobody will starve if they choose

That's a good analogy, it took me a while to figure out why it wasn't 
right for me with my position in mind (you had me doubting myself for 
a few hours before it hit me!)...


If the volunteer does as you say, then I would agree, there isn't any 
added/assumed responsibility.  One would hope they have their own 
sense of responsibility and treat the homeless people kindly, but 
that's about it.


However... if the volunteer does good work and is consequently asked 
to become a permanent volunteer by an existing group of permanent 
volunteers, and as a result is given some degree of authority to make 
decisions that will affect those that come to the shelter, then I 
think there is definitely a higher level of responsibility to that 
"community" of homeless, as well of course to the other permanent 
volunteers. Again, as I've said all along, the degree of extra 
responsibility I think is debatable.


In your original analogy, the volunteer would be someone like me.  In 
my modified version, they would be a committer.  At least in my eyes, 
there is a difference.


Excellent analogy though, you definitely made me think and evaluate my 
position, I appreciate that! :)

may feel they do have such a responsibility. Others won't. It's not my 
place to criticize a volunteer for not taking on those additional 
responsibilities. I am just grateful that you've just done a little bit 
to help out.


As for your response to my last question, I very much agree with you. I 
do not believe blind allegiance is *ever* a good thing. I question 
everything. I can be a real pain, believe me. But at some point you have 
to accept that your way might not be accepted by others. They key thing 
you said is respect. You have to give respect to earn it. The thing that 
pisses me off most on this list (and I'm certainly not talking about you 
here BTW) is people who have done nothing of value but who make personal 
attacks on others who have contributed a lot of time and effort to help 
them. Those people shouldn't be surprised that they don't get listened 
to. You know who you are.

and one does not have to fail for the other to succeed.

So, there *is* healthy disagreement, non-committers *are* listened to

Re: [FRIDAY] Re: has struts reached the saturation

[Steve Raeburn]

I guess I should have put some  tags in :-) No, Ajax is cool. 
Possibly over-hyped and I have doubts about maintainability and 
accessibility, but very cool.


Rather than people volunteering to be community leaders, I think you are 
trying to *give* people leadership responsibility, which I don't think 
is fair -- unless there is a large cheque attached ;-)


Although under no obligation to do so, the Struts committers have shown 
a great deal of responsibility to the community. Many have actively 
participated on the mailing lists to help people learn and use Struts 
(and often non-Struts too). There has been great emphasis on backwards 
compatibility, to ensure your investment in Struts is not wasted. There 
has been a great deal of effort put into ease of use and documentation - 
more than is required for the committers' own use. Committers (and other 
contributors) have voluntarily accepted those responsibilities and spent 
the time necessary to fulfil them.


The responsibility that has been shown is more than I have any right to 
expect. I'm grateful for it and I'm sure it has contributed to the 
success of Struts, but I have no automatic right to expect it.


Bottom line is that the only *rights* you have are those granted by the 
license. Craig was generous enough to initially contribute Struts under 
a permissive license, which means that if you really feel the Struts 
project (code + community) is not serving your needs, that you won't be 
prevented from using and modifying it as you see fit. Even starting a 
new project if that's what you want.


One final thought. If the committers have a responsibility to the 
community, what is the community responsibility to the committers?

After all, this is *Java* Web Parts and Ajax has nothing to do with

Ajax, you should split it off into a separate project.



I've been thinking about that actually, but for a different reason...
AjaxTags is by far the most popular part of JWP, and it might do well to
develop on its own.  I haven't raised this with the other team members
though, so it's just my mussings in this one thread :)

You really think it's a fad?  I can't say I agree... although it's not new
for many of us, I think it is for more.  It's a different way of
approaching web development in essence... forget the nitty gritty of this
library vs. that library or XMLHttpRequest objects, etc...  I don't think
it's a fad, in fact I think its quite the opposite: a paradim shift.

Well, I think we can probably agree at least that it's one tool in the
toolbox.  Whether you like it or choose to use it or not is completely up
to you :)

I think we're talking about two different forms of responsibility.  I'm in
no way, shape or form saying or implying that a committer is ever liable
for code.  Absolutely they are not.  I think they have a responsibility to
do the best work they can, but that's about it, and I've never had any
doubt about that part of it, I think each committer does the best they
can.  I don't think anyone is purposely committing substandard code or
anything like that, not in the least do I think that.

I'm talking about the responsibility of being a leader.  My view, and
that's all it is in the end is my view of things, is that being a
committer means you have accepted some extra degree of responsibility to
be a leader and consider the community when you make decisions.  I do not
believe that you are simply a technician doing technical work any longer
at that point.  Espcially when you have something that has grown to the
degree Struts has, and has so many people invested in it in various ways,
I don't think you are simply a "gaggle of engineers" as longer.  That may
have been how it started, but evolution has so

Simon, I think you've nicely illustrated the problem. Rather than

certain people choose to interpret it as bullshit. Some people can live 
in a world that has many "right" answers, others see only in black and 
white.


The irony here is that Dakota, despite his many personalities, can only 
see one point of view ;-)


Anyway, we all know Java's dead. We should all be working on Struts on 
Rails.

It says it can't find file '/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml'.  I've listed my

I think maybe we are getting warm here.  Look at the last 3 lines below

It says it can't find file '/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml'

I don't understand because the struts-config file has (by the way, same
error with or without the pathname property being set below)-

Looks like you need to specify the TilesRequestProcessor in your

Help Needed: Struts-Tiles Configuration and/or Definition Error

[Hilton, Steve]

Hello every.  I am new to this e-mail forum, so hopefully I am posting
this question correctly.  I have been pulling my hair out over this
problem.  I have looked in many books and at many examples on websites
and cannot see where I am doing anything wrong.  I have listed the tiles
and struts configuration files for a simple example below.  I can pull
examples, verbatim, off off websites and they get the exact same error
as sample programs I set up myself.

First of all, I am using Websphere 5.1.0.  The problem is this
Any time I try to reference a definition name in the tiles-defs.xml
file, any reference to that definition in the struts-config file always
produces a warning which states "Target page.default cannot be resolved
in the context of the following modules: /"

I have tried everything and cannot figure out why this will not work.
This really doesn't seem like it should be that hard.  It just seems
like the  struts-config file can never find anything in the tiles-defs
file.

To make this even more frustrating, I can create a welcome page like the
index.jsp listed below and that works fine.
index.jsp
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles" %>


Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!  -- Steve


Here's the files for the sample application

I should have been a bit more clear.  You *do* have access to the
configuration information that Struts read from the
struts-config.xmlfiles.  They are stored (if you only have one module)
under a servlet
context attribute named by symbolic constant Globals.MODULE_KEY (in a tag
handler you can call PageContext.getAttribute() to acquire it).

It's the "create a JSP page dynamically and get it compiled" part of the
problem that isn't going to work well.

There is no API for this.  Indeed, in JSP 2.0 if you use simple tags there
is no pooling of tag instances either.

Basically i want ot be able to create a form, where neccesary, with a

but, like struts does, only know the action and parameters adn be able

creates.

Alternatively, although not the most desirable option, is the a way to

What you need to build forms like this dynamically is a component model like
the one provided by JavaServer Faces or Tapestry.  The Shale framework[1]
(also part of the Struts community), built on top of JSF, has an example of
building views dynamically that is somewhat different than your use case (it
lets you do SQL Browser queries, and dynamically decides what columns to
show in the output table based on which database columns were returned in
response to executing the query), but illustrates the principle.  It would
be straightforward, for example, to dynamically generate a set of field
labels and input fields based on the columns in a database, or the
properties of a JavaBean.

Trying to dynamically construct JSP code and then "re-evaluate it" is not
the right approach to this kind of problem.

Thanks

Re: Tomcat issues

[Steve Ratay]

I've noticed the same behavior in Tomcat as well.  Try
this:
- Place your .war file in webapps directory
- Start Tomcat and wait for the .war to be completely
expanded
- Restart Tomcat and then try to access the
application

I'm not positive about the specifics, but I do know
that Tomcat loads a default application context as it
expands and deploys a war when a context.xml file is
not provided in the war file.  However, when you
restart Tomcat and the application is already expanded
(i.e. the war doesn't have to be deployed) it loads
the application context as you would expect.

Re: [OT] If you hate positioning with css raise your hand... actually some help:)

[Steve Raeburn]

Here's *one* way to achieve what you're after:


   [left]
   [right]

link1
link2

Courtesy of Eric Meyer 
http://www.complexspiral.com/publications/containing-floats/


All that's different to your first example is the addition of an 
additional 'float' on the outer div. This causes it to expand to contain 
the inner (floated) divs. Depending on what else you want to add to this 
layout  this might be all you need.


Note that if the outer div is itself contained by another block element, 
it may stick out of its container. Read the above article for the 
explanation and other options. Also check out http://www.meyerweb.com/ - 
Eric is your CSS best friend :-).

it works. Oh and then make sure it's ok in all browsers.. and make 
sure it works with html strict, bla bla. Anyone else have these 
frustrations as well or is it just me?


Anyway, since I started down this stupid path, maybe someone can help. 
yea, I know wrong list, but I'm being lazy..


What I just want as a test is a div with a border around it and then 
two divs inside that div with text = One set of text aligned in a div 
to the left, the other in a div text-aligned to the right. Then below 
the main div some text:

My first shot was:

link2


The above ends up with the next set of links aligning up next to the 
right div and only a top border on the enclosing div.


Now this one sort of works. I still get only a top border on the 
enclosing div. And I don't see why I need to use  tags to get 
this to work.

Any ideas how to get what I want?

I just really stink at this css stuff and the web sites all seem to 
use different techniques and none of them intuitive. This site has 
some nice samples http://tutorials.alsacreations.com/modeles/ but 
often the way it's implemented seems crazy to me (ie having to add 
huge margins and have other divs fill into those margins, etc).


If divs are the answer why are they so annoying to position?

Hi Raj

The main one seems to be Eclipse.
I'm using NetBeans which is a little behind what Eclipse is providing
through plugins.
Following somewhere is JBuilder.

I know Eclipse and NetBeans are both free.
Eclipse supports a plugin system and there are a number of plugins you can
purchase
to provide additional functionality (eg Struts support).
NetBeans is implementing better Struts support in the next (imminent)
release.

I haven't heard much about JBuilder, I bought a copy and used it many years
ago when
I first started on Java.  It wasn't that great back then but may well have
improved.

If you want to really fit in you should probably use Eclipse - it seems to
be the most
popular on this Struts list.

Kind regards

Well SQL/DB stuff is definitely an exception and that's another pet-peve
of mine:) The DBA guys always seem like they are the "big dogs."  I'm
not diminishing their skills and what they have to learn, but it's
mostly all geared around the same concept - the database and SQL.
Compare that to someone developing a J2EE application and all the varied
technologies that are involved other than just SQL.

In fact you need only

As I started with Struts I deliberately didn't use any design Tool, maybe

Michael / Jack / Thingamabob,

Struts is licensed in such a way that if you are unhappy with the way it 
is being managed, you are quite free to fork the code and continue to 
develop it in whatever way *you* see fit.


I suspect you'd make a lot of people very happy if you went away and did 
that.

Interesting this discussion would come up now.  I've been in and out of
Struts for about 5 years.  I'm now coming back in and taking interest in
JSF/Shale, etc.  A few of points to think about:

1.  Struts will someday die.  If it doesn't, then we've seen the end of
technology advancement.  If those of us who love Struts and what it
provides want to continue to have influence going forward, we have to be
 ready to embrace the next thing that's better than Struts and add
value there.  Staying with something because of familiarity is typically
the road to becoming a dinosaur in technology.

2.  I only started studying JSF seriously about 2 weeks ago. From what
I've seen it takes the best things Struts offers and brings them into a
somewhat cleaner package.  Those things are:

*  Nice HTML tag library.
*  Auto-populating of form beans.
*  Simple controller interface.

It also expands on these things by making the view easier to develop,
less restriction on how form beans and controllers are developed, and
some other really interesting services that I've only begun to play
with.  To sum it up, using JSF out of the box I can do most of what I
can with Struts, only quicker and with less code.  I see JSF as the next
step of Struts.  But it's still not complete.  I'm only beginning to see
what Shale adds to JSF and am following Shale with great interest.

3.  PHP.  I've done some PHP over the last couple years.  I'm by no
means an expert, but I do know my way around somewhat.  The whole time
I've caught myself thinking if I was in Java I'd have a better way to do
just about everything.  But most of the "better way" is because of the
J2EE APIs, Struts, and Tiles.  The language is a bit more cumbersome
than Java and it's much more difficult to modularize.  I find PHP is
easier (to me) if I don't try to make things elegant, but just "spew
code" to some extent.  I finally found a CMS to use as a Struts-like
framework, but I still find Java/Struts and now JSF to be better,
cleaner, and more modular.  I am now trying to figure out a way to do my
future "on-the-side" consulting in Java instead of PHP.

I think another of PHPs success factors has to do with its acceptance
from the open source community.  Somehow Java has had a somewhat tainted
reputation due to the lack of a truly open complete implementation --
and probably some are just bitter that Sun hasn't opened the whole thing
up.  I don't personally have anything to contribute to that debate, but
I suspect it's a factor in why PHP has been so widely embraced on the
web compared to Java.

So all in all, it doesn't much matter to me if JSF supercedes Struts.
If it's better, then it should.  If we get behind Shale it think we can
have our cake and eat it too.

BTW, for JSF info, try MyFaces.  Their Getting Started section points to
some pretty good tutorials.  In short testing I've found the myfaces
implementation to be pretty stable.  I'm actually surprised Craig is not
listed as a contributor to that project.

That's my 50 cents.

Sorry for the OT postings.

My point was that you cant compare usage of PHP with Struts.

The number of Struts sites (or even java sites) will never overtake the
number of PHP sites for the reasons i pointed out (although... zend are
doing their best to kill off php by trying to move it into the enterprise
arena and tying it with java).  But for those same reasons, comparing the
two is useless.

As for JSF... It seems like a nice idea, but i havnt fully got my head round
it.  I cant see it killing off struts in the short term (just look at daily
rate of postings on this list!!!) I do like the idea of replacing struts
html tags with JSF.  I certainly think JSTL/EL are nicer than the logic
tags.

I now have a dilema... I'm just about to start on another project.  What
technologies do i use?

I guess i'll probably stick with struts.  Though i may dabble with JSF a
bit.

Can anyone recommend any good resources? Sure a google search provides tons
of information... but which is any good?

I'd say both, javascript for a nice user experience and server side
for safety. One because as a matter of good practice you should never
trust anything to have been properly validated on the browser and two
because testing the number of characters in textareas can be error
prone. I forget which one but either Mozilla or IE has given me length
counts in javascript which differ from the String length by the time
the value is one the server - basically a CR versus CR/LF issue.

Can you expand your question please? If you are interested in
displaying tabular data in your JSPs have a look at the DisplayTag
http://displaytag.sourceforge.net/ - with a bit of extension this can
also be used for outputting form inputs. Where I work we then have a
ActionForm (representing the table) which contains a list of
ActionForms (representing each row).

This sounds familiar, I know you've already posted your config file

your classpath? I seem to remember running into dependency issues
between xalan, xerces and commons-digester, i.e. I was using the wrong

For actions using the forward attribute you don't need the type
attribute (I use 1.1 and the struts config files I edit have lots of
these), personally for readability I'd use the form



rather than




but the latter won't cause any problems

Up to a point I agree, but there is a big difference between just
opening your browser and typing http://www.domain./user/action.do and
navigating through a web app to a page with a link with a token and
pasting that into the browser's address field. I suspect that if a
user has sufficient privileges to get to a page displaying a link with
a valid token then it probably doesn't matter too much whether they
type it in directly or not, but of course that would need to be
confirmed. Of course there has to be sufficient validation of any
parameters. Possibly the generateToken() method could be used to
create a token just for this one particular link - the token would
then need to be manually stored in the session in the creating action
and removed from the session in the receiving action.

You could try using tokens, the relevant methods are in the Action
class. From memory you need to use saveToken in the action that prior
to your webpage with the link
and isTokenValid in the receiving action to validate you have been
given a valid token and resetToken to make sure it doesn't get used
again.
I know it gets included automatically when you use html:form and
believe you can have it included when using html:link (by setting an
attribute).

Problem with URL encoding/decoding of UTF-8 characters

[Steve Bosman]

The application I am working on has some frameset stuff (which I
personally hate, but some things you are forced to live with),
occasionally frames within the frameset are set with parameters in the
URL which is output using html:rewrite (normally as the result of
failed actions). If a parameter has UTF-8 characters, e.g. 5-ÐÐÑ-2005
this is encoded as this:

/webimpact/progress/obtainCopyTuFund.do?authorisedDate=5-%D0%B0%D0%BF%D1%80-2005

By the time the date arrives in my ActionForm the value is now 
5-ÃÂÃÂÃ?-2005. 
This application is running on tomcat 5.0.28 and what I would like to
know is: is this a struts problem, a tomcat problem or (possibly the
most likely) my problem and if so what should I be doing to fix it?

RE: [HOW TO? ImageButtonBeanManager Extension]

[Steve Raeburn]

Michael,

Could you expand on your performance tests? What kind of response time
improvements (seconds, milliseconds?) were you seeing?

In my experience, the performance impact of the existing dispatch actions is
not readily visible so I'm not sure how optimizing them would help in a
real-world situation. For example, if my action requires a database call,
then the response time due to the action is a relatively small part of the
overall user visible response time.

Can you support your assertions with some figures and (ideally) the test
code so that others could try it out for themselves?

Working with hashmaps in my Jsp

[Steve Lianoglou]

How do I use a dynamicaly generated "key" to pick off something in my hashmap?
The story is that I am iterating over a collection of keys into a hashmap.
In my iteration, and after doing some present/notPresent logic, I am pulling an object 
out of my HashMap, so here is a reduced example of what is happening.
Lets call my HashMap hash
and my Collection of keys, "keys" .. both of these are put into my request scope through my action
so at the end of the action, imagine a 
request.setAttribute("hash", hash);
request.setAttribute("keys", keys);

Ok .. now in my jsp i am iterating over my keys collection, if the key in my 
Collection passes some type of logic, then i want to pull the object associated w/ 
that key in my hashmap out and use it, so a very simple example is this:

<%-- now "hashKey" has the string of the key into my hashmap that I do some 
testing with --%>
<%-- do some logic, if i like what I see, I want to pull the object at location 
"hashKey" out of my HashMap --%>

<%-- do some other with hashObject --%>

That's all I want .. all I want is for the property attribute in my  tag to be recognized as 
a dynamic varialble, and not look up in my "hash" HashTable for a literal key "hashKey" but 
no matter what I'm doing, no way no how can I get it to work.
I feel like I'm trying to reach over my shoulder to scratch my ass here, because I 
*know* there must be a mind-nummingly easy way to do this which I'm missing.
Any help is appreciated. 

Thanks,
-steve

ANN: New Struts/OracleADF-based Toy Store Demo

[Steve Muench]

Oracle announces the availability of the Struts-based ADF Toy Store Demo
sample application. 

http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/collateral/papers/10g/adftoystore.html

It is accompanied by a detailed technical whitepaper that explains
all of the interesting details of the Struts and Oracle ADF
framework features used in its implementation.

http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/collateral/papers/10g/adftoystore/readme.html

The ADF Toy Store Demo is an MVC-based web storefront application,
implemented using best-practices J2EE design patterns, that fully
leverages the developer-productivity boost that frameworks and
framework-savvy visual tools can provide. It uses:

 -> Apache Struts for the controller layer
 -> JSP/JSTL for the view layer
 -> Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) for the model layer

As part of explaining the implementation details, the whitepaper
illustrates the rich set of features provided by the Oracle
JDeveloper 10g IDE for working with the Struts and ADF frameworks
using productive visual, declarative, and code-level tools.

The demo can be deployed to Tomcat, Oracle Application Server,
Oracle OC4J Standalone, or other J2EE-compliant application server.

The Oracle ADF framework's capabilities for simplifying end-to-end
J2EE application development are used daily by over 2000 developers
in the Oracle E-Business Suite team, as well as by hundreds of
external customers. ADF's data binding layer is an implementation
of the declarative data binding facilities proposed in JSR-227.

Can I specify DynaFormProperties at Run Time

Given that the Dynaform is dynamic I am wondering why I need to declare a

RE: Struts Development seems slow, info?

[Steve Raeburn]

Don't worry, I didn't take your comments in a negative way.

It is worth listening to what's happening on the dev list, then you'll
know as much as anyone what's happening. There are no offline
discussions, everything happens in public, via the dev-list.
