I have also used this in the past, but without execution errors (I'm

limited to only being able to forward to another method in the same Action.
I, too, felt this was an 'ugly' solution because the Struts Controller
is bypassed and you cannot change your mind about unchaining those
actions without editing Java. I read somewhere authoritative that
ActionForward was created for just this purpose; you chain the actions
in the Struts config file instead.
However, chaining actions programmatically could be a perfectly valid
thing to do though...I've only been using Struts for three months ;-)

[VERY OT] Wireless Mice...what gives??
It's Friday. I need to buy a replacement for my borked Intellimouse Explorer. It's starting to issue double-click events, which is pretty disconcerting. At least, I _hope_ it's my mouse, otherwise my RSI has taken a nasty turn for the worse. I'm a fan of Microsoft's mice because the devices in its Explorer range are nice and big, just like my hands (Logitech's rodents tend to be smaller). But nearly all the Microsoft mice available on Amazon.co.uk are wireless. Ditto for my other favourite site, dabs.co.uk. A quick excursion to Microsoft's corporate Mouse site reveals that, yes indeed, all the latest Explorer mice are wireless. Despite finding the concept of an stationary, yet wireless device deeply crazy, I might just buy a wireless mouse and have done with it...life's just too short. But I think having to replace batteries every 6 months would get right on my nerves. Any opinions? Does replacing the batteries in your wireless mouse or keyboard drive you nuts? Are there real advantages to using a wireless input device that I just cannot see?

html:error and quotation marks...
Howdy all
I'm using html:error to put an error message next to a form field that
must not be blank. But the message is rendered with quotation marks
around it. I don't want quotation marks. Am I doing something I
shouldn't, or is there any way to turn this behavior off?
My JSP looks like this:
thead
thhtml:text name=myName property=name size=40//th
thhtml:errors property=myName //th
/thead
The resulting HTML looks like this:
thead
thinput type=text name=name size=40 value=/th
thThe 'Name' field is required/th
/thead
My Form.validate()
==
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
if (getMyName() == null || getMyName().length 1) {
errors.add(myName, new ActionError(err.name.required, Name);
}
return errors;
My Application.Properties file
==
err.name.required=The '{0}' field is required

Q: Translating i18n keys in Struts?
Hi I want to use 'html:select' and 'html:optionsCollection' to draw menus on my page.

So menuList[0] = menu.item.search menuList[1] = menu.item.about ... and so on. Is there a neat Struts way of translating these keys to actual locale-specific strings on their way to the JSP, or even in the JSP itself?

This works ok for that scenario, but what about if you need each item out of

Is there an easy way to get:
trtdname1/tdtdname2/td/tr
trtdname3/tdtdname4/td/tr
The best I can come up with (shooting from the hip) is to create an
intermediate bean which contains two properties, the column-1 value and
the column-2 value. Populate each bean, put them in a list, then
iterate over that list. Something like this:
List names = new ArrayList();
int i = 1;
while (i=numItems) {
TwoColBean b = new TwoColBean();
b.setCol1(name + i++);
b.setCol1(name + i++);
this.names.add(b);
}
...
c:forEach items=${names} var=name
tr
tdc:out value=${name.col1}//td
tdc:out value=${name.col2}//td
/tr
/c:forEach
Surely there must be a tag lib somewhere that offers this?

Re: AW: Field types in ActionForm/DynaForm
Andreas Solarik wrote: Hi Stjepan, From what I understand, you will have a much easier time implementing validation for your forms if you use only strings. For example, receiving an integer value ABCDEFG might cause unexpected results. This is just my understanding. If theres more to it, them I'm happy to learn :) That is my understanding too. A simple example: Imagine your form models a personnel record. You have a field to hold an employee's Age. Being a clever Struts designer you add a String (not an Integer) property to the Struts form bean to hold the employee's Age. You have Struts Validation enabled. If someone types QWERTY into that Age field on the HTML form, your Struts validation checks can trap it and the form will be forwarded back to the user with (perhaps) the Age field showing QWERTY, highlighted with a QWERTY is not a valid Age error message. But: if that property had been modeled originally as an Integer, then QWERTY would never make it into the form bean (because QWERTY cannot be converted to an Integer). Which in turn means that when the form is re-displayed to show the user's error, the string QWERTY will not be seen in the Age field; the field would be empty. Read-write Integer properties on form beans will work great until users enter bad data. Read-only properties are unaffected of course. I think I got that about right. -- bOOyah - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How can I display a table in two columns?

Column 1 contains the checkboxes; column 2 contains the items. So my table currently looks like this (x == a checkbox): x item-1 x item-2 . . . x item-16 Is there a straightforward way to iterate my List so as to render my table as two columns (four columns really) of 8 rows each?

Losing my mind: why can't my JSP use the getter on my form bean??
Hi guys
I've got a simple form bean and a simpler JSP. I can get the JSP to
pull some values from the form bean but not others, and I cannot figure
out why.
I want to display Select menus in a variable number of rows. I managed
to figure out indexed properties (at loong last) and so the
html:select tags are working. It's just the html:optionsCollection tag
that I can't figure out.
Here's the Form (trimmed for brevity; the two private members are
populated okay by other methods):
8-
public class MyForm extends ActionForm
{
private Integer selectedIdTvSystem[];
private List picklistTvSystem;
// return the user's previously selected TV system
public Integer getSelectedIdTvSystem(int loopIndex) {
...
}
// set the user's newly selected TV system
public void setSelectedIdTvSystem(int loopIndex, Integer selectedId) {
...
}
// get the drop-down list of TV choices for the user
public List getPicklistTvSystem() {
return this.picklistTvSystem;
}
// set the list of possible TV choices for the user
public void setPicklistTvSystem(List picklistTvSystem) {
this.picklistTvSystem = picklistTvSystem;
}
}
8-
Here's the JSP tester. It's a Mickey Mouse loop to display two
drop-down picklists. The indexed property referenced in the
'html:select' seems to work fine. But the 'html:optionsCollection' tag
isn't finding the 'picklistTvSystem' property on the form.
8-
c:forEach begin=0 end=1 varStatus=status
jsp:useBean id=status
type=javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.LoopTagStatus/
html:select property=selectedIdTvSystem[${status.count - 1}]
html:optionsCollection name=picklistTvSystem
value=id
label=value /
/html:select
/c:forEach
8-
Tomcat throws this exception:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot find bean picklistTvSystem in
any scope
at
org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils.lookup(RequestUtils.java:938)
Any help will be gratefully received.
