Re: Bookmarking functionality in struts
Thanks for the reply Jim I was trying to do whatever you said.. taking ur
idea when session expires what I did was I redirected to login page passing
request.getServletPath(); parameter as redirect param. But problem I had was
every thing in application has to go through the login action class which
put some values in the session. First I will tell you what I did
CODE I wrote for base action class
#
*
if* (authuser == *null*){
String redirectUri = request.getServletPath();
actionRedirect.addParameter(redirectUri, redirectUri);
messages.add(message, *new* ActionMessage(session.expired));
saveMessages(request, messages);
*return* actionRedirect;
}
After redirecting to login Jsp the thing I did is
##
String redirectUri = request.getParameter(redirectUri);
System.out.println(redirectUri+redirectUri);
*if*(redirectUri != *null*)
{
%
input type=hidden name=redirectUri value=%=redirectUri%
%
}
%
##
This I did because I have to go through the login action class as I load all
the session values in that page...
Login Action Class
##
*if*(redirectUri != *null*){
*return* mapping.findForward(redirectUri11);
}
##
and in my struts config.xml what i Wrote was
###
action path=/web/jsp/admin/Logon type=
edu.louisiana.cbit.capture.Admin.action.LogonSubmitAction
name=LoginActionForm input=/web/jsp/login.jsp
forward name=success path=mainlayout.page/
forward name=/web/jsp/Reviewer/AddUser.do
path=/web/jsp/Reviewer/AddUser.do/
forward name=/web/jsp/admin/ViewUsers.do
path=/web/jsp/admin/ViewUsers.do/
/action
###
This is like when I click AddUser which is link
/web/jsp/Reviewer/AddUser.do if session donot exist then it is redirected
to the login page passing the value /web/jsp/Reviewer/AddUser.do. Then in
login action class it is forwarded using
mapping.findForward(/web/jsp/Reviewer/AddUser.do). and for that action
mapping I am forwarding to appropriate page. Is this the right way to do...
THis will put lot of entries in the config file..other thing is in the
adress bar even if I am redirecting its still showing as If I am in login
page like even if I am in web/jsp/Reviewer/AddUser.do its showing as if am
in web/jsp/Reviewer/Login.do...Please give me a hint if there is any
better way.
Laurie,
Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately I was forced to use application
managed security so I have to sort out my own logic to bookmark pages.

You could also consider using container managed security, which handles

care of it.
Basically, the exact solution depends on your requirements, particularly
with respect to authentication.

hi Joao, Finally I understood the requirement of sourcefiles for the third party libraries. I added jadeclipse to my project. It is working fine, by that i mean if I click *.class files javasource code is opening.

Re: Struts debug mode
Thanks for the replies. I haven't tried jadeclipse and eclipse europa. I will try them to and see how debug mode works. One thing I wansn't able to figure out. why do we need source files of third party jars. Even the java jre we include is like third party to eclipse. Still it is able to debug the core java application. I am trying to understand if my understanding is wrong please excuse me. If I keep a breakpoint in action class it should stop there and show me the values that was what I was expecting with my past experience using eclipse.

Re: how populate form from database ?
Hi,
If you are using struts 1.x then u need to have a database code.Call that
from your action get the values. Set them to your action form thats
itexample if u want...
let your action form be
someActionform extends ValidatorForm{
private String name;
public String getName(){
return name;
}
public String setName(String name)
{
this.name = name;
}
}
public someAction extends Action{
function extends...
{
someActionForm form = (SomeActionForm)form;
uploadName(form);
}
}
thats it... If I am not able to represent idea in right way sorry.. and as
Rick said there are many ways to do this..what I showed is the basic way...
Regards
Viplav
public uploadName(SomeActionForm f){
//use connection string to connect to database and return a resultset for
example resultset = dbcon.getResult(select name from //name);
f.setName(resultSet.getString(name));

Struts 1.X validwhen
Hi, I am using struts 1.3.8 for my application. For validation I am using validator framework. In one of my pages my form is submitted either by submit button or changing the dropdown list value. action is the name of the property in the corresponding actionform which stores the submit button's value for example if the submit button's value is Modify then action property value is Modify and action property value is null if I submit the page using change in the dropdown list value. I am using validwhen to check if the action property is Modify as shown below, form name=EditUserForm field property=firstName depends=validwhen var var-nametest/var-name var-value((action != Modify) or (*this* != null))/var-value /var arg key=ApplicantInfoDisplayActionForm.firstName/ /field /form My doubt is can I use two validations using the which will be called only when action != modify. like I want to check whether the email address is in right format so I used field property=emailAddress depends=validwhen,email and rest of the code as shown above but it is checking for email format even if action is not equal to Modify. By seeing the code it seems that validwhen it is taking different and email it is taking different. Then how can I use both. Can any one please help me whether I can use validwhen In this situation. If not validwhen how can I use the validator framework. -- Regards Viplav Kallepu -- Regards Viplav Kallepu
Re: Simple authentication/authorization with Struts 2 using annotation
Hi,
Thank you for sharing the idea. I am also working on the authorization
and authentication of my application.
The authentication interceptor checks the action method for @Secured
annotation and checks the session to see if the user has logged in. If not,
the target page and parameters are saved in the session and the user is
redirected to the login page.
There is a login action that authenticates the user (using database, files,
...) and saves any needed data in the session. It then uses a LoginResult
that redirects to the target page (the secured page that the user was
redirected from) and sets the saved parameters for that page.
My application contains lot of values in the session.So i need to populate
the session after logging in using Action class of the login page. I am
thinking of a design for allowing users to bookmark a page. After he selects
a bookmarked page, if he is not logged in he should be redirected to login
page and after logging in , he should come to the bookmarked page which is
like what you explained above. Can you please tell me how did you do this.
Regards
Viplav Kallepu

Hi,
I'm developing a Struts 2 application which needs non-role-based
authorization (e.g. a user can see the messages of a group if he is a
member, etc.) Realm is not enough in such case and you need to add some
authorization code to each action if you use realm. I developed an
authentication/authorization mechanism using annotation for this problem.
I
thought it's good to share this with other struts users.
I use two interceptors:
The authentication interceptor along with @Secured annotation:
@Secured
public String getMessageList() {
...
}
The authentication interceptor checks the action method for @Secured
annotation and checks the session to see if the user has logged in. If
not,
the target page and parameters are saved in the session and the user is
redirected to the login page.
There is a login action that authenticates the user (using database,
files,
...) and saves any needed data in the session. It then uses a LoginResult
that redirects to the target page (the secured page that the user was
redirected from) and sets the saved parameters for that page.
The second interceptor is authorization interceptor along with the
@Authorizer annotation:
@Secured
@Authorizer(isMember)
public String getMessageList() {
...
}
boolean isMember() {
...
}
Here the interceptor checks the action method for @Authorizer interceptor.
If such annotation exists it uses reflection to call the indicated methods
(e.g. isMember) on the same action object. If you add the authorization
interceptor in the correct place in the interceptor stack, at the time the
authorizer method is called, the action bean is populated using the
setters.
So the authorizer can use the filled values to check for authorization and
returns a boolean indicating if the current user (saved in session) is
authorized to do the action (with respect to the filled parameters.)
Although it looks like re-inventing the wheel, I think this mechanism is
good enough for simple authentication/authorization.

Re: Struts design best practice issue
Thanks for the reply.. but the variables in the actionform's datatype will be string and DTO's will be corresponding oracle dataType. I am not able to understand the advantage of writing the interface. May be I am missing the concept.
