Stephen,

i know it is a spring xml file. i can tell that with the bean
id=transactionManager.../ element, they are defining a transaction
manager. however, what does tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager
.../ do? to me, intuitively, it defines a transaction manager that
will process by annotations.

the tutorial that gives this applicationContext.xml shows us how to
get things working, but doesn't really explain in detail why we are
doing what we are doing. that's kind of what i meant.

 Hi Jake,

 This file holds the Spring configuration. You'll need to read up on Spring -

Re: i need more documentation on applicationContext.xml

thanks Martin. that gives me a little more confidence. that takes a
little mystery away from that XML file.

by the way, do you know any books that discusses Struts 2 (the latest
latest version 2.1.x)? i would purchase it in a heartbeat.

Re: unit test the service layer (aka data access layer)

james,

would setting up the unit test in that way load up the service class
as if it would in in the J2EE container?

the reason why i asked is because in the tutorial, as far as i
understand, they have wired in using Spring a transaction manager.
that means in my service object, when i call update/delete/create, i
don't have to get a EntityTransaction and do .begin() and .commit()
before and after i call the EntityManager's merge/remove/persist
methods, respectively.

i tried unit testing naively, by constructing an EntityManagerFactory
from the Persistence class (defining yet another
META-INF/persistence.xml file), but my CRUD operations (minus read)
never persists changes to the database (because it is in a J2SE
environment without a transaction manager? as opposed to being in a
J2EE environment with a transaction manager? well, that's what some
sites suggests anyways).

thank you! that second link at the spring site was precisely what i

one-to-many persistence, ConstraintViolationException

i am following the example at
http://struts.apache.org/2.1.8.1/docs/struts-2-spring-2-jpa-ajax.html.
in this example, a very simple persistence is given (of which i am
thankful). but, what i am trying to do is slightly more complicated
with persistence. i need to persist a one-to-many relationship. when i
attempt to do so, i keep getting the following error.

Caused by: java.sql.BatchUpdateException: Cannot add or update a child
row: a foreign key constraint fails (`demo`.`employee`, CONSTRAINT
`employee_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`companyId`) REFERENCES `company`
(`id`))

what am i doing wrong?

i am using mysql, and these are my DDLs.
create table company (
name varchar(100) unique,
id mediumint not null auto_increment,
primary key(id),
index using btree(id)
);

create table employee(
companyId mediumint,
firstName varchar(100),
lastName varchar(100),
id mediumint not null auto_increment,
primary key(id),
index using btree(id),
foreign key (companyId) references company(id)
);

these are my classes for Company and Employee.

@Entity
@Table(name=company)
public class Company {

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
private int id;
private String name;
@OneToMany(mappedBy=companyId,
cascade={CascadeType.REMOVE, CascadeType.PERSIST},
targetEntity=Employee.class,

private ListEmployee employees;

public Company() { }

public Company(String name) {
this.name = name;
}

this.id = id;
}

}
public void setName(String name) {

}

public void addEmployee(Employee employee) {
ListEmployee employees = getEmployees();
employees.add(employee);

employee.setCompanyId(getId());
}

public ListEmployee getEmployees() {
if(null == employees) {
employees = new ArrayListEmployee();
}
return employees;
}

public void setEmployees(ListEmployee employees) {
this.employees = employees;
}

}

@Entity
@Table(name=employee)
public class Employee {

private int companyId;
@Id
private int id;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;

public Employee() { }

public Employee(String firstName, String lastName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
}

public int getCompanyId() {
return companyId;
}

public void setCompanyId(int companyId) {
this.companyId = companyId;
}

public int getId() {
return id;
}

public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}

public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}

public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}

public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}

public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
}

my service implementation that keeps failing to persist is as follows.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

@Transactional
public class CompanyDao {

@PersistenceContext
protected EntityManager entityManager;

public CompanyDao() { }

public CompanyDao(EntityManager entityManager) {
this.entityManager = entityManager;
}

public void create(Company company) {
EntityManager em = getEntityManager();
em.persist(company);
}

public Company read(int id) {
EntityManager em = getEntityManager();
Company company = em.find(Company.class, id);
return company;
}

public void update(Company company) {

spring, struts2, convention plugin, how to wire an action class

i am using struts 2.1.8.1 and the convention plugin. i am also using
spring for dependency injections (DI). my question is if it is
possible to to use struts2 + convention plugin with spring for DI on
my Action classes? i have searched  the internet but only seen
examples using struts 1 + spring for DI on Action classes. the
convention plugin makes life simpler (no XML), but also, partially
because of little documentation, makes it uneasy to do certain things.
i wonder if this is part of the reason why DI on Action classes using
spring + struts is not obvious for me.

Here's a simple code. This is my action class.

public class SpringWiringAction extends ActionSupport {
 private String message = no dependency injection;

 @Action(value=/spring-wiring)
 public String springWiring() {
  return SUCCESS;
 }

 public String getMessage() { return message; }
 public void setMessage(String message) { this.message = message; }
}

My view or the JSP page corresponding to the Action is:
/webapp/WEB-INF/content/spring-wiring-success.jsp.

%@ page language=java contentType=text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
pageEncoding=ISO-8859-1%
%...@taglib uri=/struts-tags prefix=s %
html
 headtitleTest Spring Wiring/title/head
 body
 s:property value=message/
 /body
/html

My web.xml is setup according to
http://struts.apache.org/2.0.14/docs/struts-2-spring-2-jpa-ajax.html.

My spring XML file (/webapp/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml) is defined
as following.

...
bean id=placeholderConfig
class=org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer
 property name=location value=WEB-INF/applicationContext.properties/
/bean
...
bean name=/spring-wiring class=com.me.actions.SpringWiringAction
 property name=message value=${message}/
/bean

My /webapp/WEB-INF/applicationContext.properties file then has this content.

message=dependency inject success

when i start up tomcat 6, everything starts up correctly and there are
no complaints. however, when i go to
http://localhost/webapp/spring-wiring, the message that gets displayed
is no dependency injection.

is there something that i am missing using spring + struts2 (with the
convention plugin) to use DI on Actions?

Re: spring, struts2, convention plugin, how to wire an action class

well, there's something strange about struts2 (with convention plugin)
+ spring. if your action has a field representing a service,
MyInjectedService myInjectedService, you just have to define that in
the spring xml file. for example, your Action class looks like the
following.

public class MyAction extends ActionSupport {
 private Service service;

 @Action(value=/dummy)
 public String dummy() { return SUCCESS; }
 public Service getService() { return service; }
 public void setService(Service service) { this.service = service; }
}

in your spring xml file (i.e. applicationContext.xml), you simply
define a bean with the id=service. for example,

bean id=service class=my.class.Service/

that's it; you don't have to do anything else. you don't even have to
explicitly say (using XML) to inject this when you are creating an
instance of MyAction. now when a user accesses /dummy, MyAction will
be created and its service field will actually be injected with what
is specified in the spring xml file.

what irks me or  bothers me is that it is not obvious at the moment
how to simply inject strings or booleans into the Action class. it
should be just as simple.

upon analyzing what i am doing, and in light of what you said, perhaps
i am trying to push some logic into the Action class that shouldn't be
there. perhaps i should push the logic to a service class instead. in
this case, this problem goes away. BUT, the question remains, how can
i use DI with struts2 (convention plugin)  and spring on Action
classes? or can i not? if i can't, end of story. if i can, how?

 I am not sure if that alters the way Struts2/Spring does it. But it does
 make it a bit clearer to read.

 Subject: Re: spring, struts2, convention plugin, how to wire an action class

 well, there's something strange about struts2 (with convention plugin)
 + spring. if your action has a field representing a service,
 MyInjectedService myInjectedService, you just have to define that in
 the spring xml file. for example, your Action class looks like the
 following.

 public class MyAction extends ActionSupport {
  private Service service;

 �...@action(value=/dummy)
  public String dummy() { return SUCCESS; }
  public Service getService() { return service; }
  public void setService(Service service) { this.service = service; }
 }

 in your spring xml file (i.e. applicationContext.xml), you simply
 define a bean with the id=service. for example,

 bean id=service class=my.class.Service/

 that's it; you don't have to do anything else. you don't even have to
 explicitly say (using XML) to inject this when you are creating an
 instance of MyAction. now when a user accesses /dummy, MyAction will
 be created and its service field will actually be injected with what
 is specified in the spring xml file.

 what irks me or  bothers me is that it is not obvious at the moment
 how to simply inject strings or booleans into the Action class. it
 should be just as simple.

 upon analyzing what i am doing, and in light of what you said, perhaps
 i am trying to push some logic into the Action class that shouldn't be
 there. perhaps i should push the logic to a service class instead. in
 this case, this problem goes away. BUT, the question remains, how can
 i use DI with struts2 (convention plugin)  and spring on Action
 classes? or can i not? if i can't, end of story. if i can, how?

 i am using struts 2.1.8.1 and the convention plugin. i am also using
 spring for dependency injections (DI). my question is if it is
 possible to to use struts2 + convention plugin with spring for DI on
 my Action classes? i have searched  the internet but only seen
 examples using struts 1 + spring for DI on Action classes. the
 convention plugin makes life simpler (no XML), but also, partially
 because of little documentation, makes it uneasy to do certain things.
 i wonder if this is part of the reason why DI on Action classes using
 spring + struts is not obvious for me.

 Here's a simple code. This is my action class.

 public class SpringWiringAction extends ActionSupport {
  private String message = no dependency injection;

 �...@action(value=/spring-wiring)
  public String springWiring() {
  return SUCCESS;
  }

  public String getMessage() { return message; }
  public void setMessage(String message) { this.message = message; }
 }

 My view or the JSP page corresponding to the Action is:
 /webapp/WEB-INF/content/spring-wiring-success.jsp.

 %@ page language=java contentType=text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
 pageEncoding=ISO-8859-1%
 %...@taglib uri=/struts-tags prefix=s %
 html
  headtitleTest Spring Wiring/title/head
  body
  s:property value=message/
  /body
 /html

 My web.xml is setup according to
 http://struts.apache.org/2.0.14/docs/struts-2-spring-2-jpa-ajax.html.

 My spring XML file (/webapp/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml) is defined
 as following.

 ...
 bean id=placeholderConfig
 class=org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfi
 gurer
  property name=location
 value=WEB-INF/applicationContext.properties/
 /bean
 ...
 bean name=/spring-wiring class=com.me.actions.SpringWiringAction
  property name=message value=${message}/
 /bean

 My /webapp/WEB-INF/applicationContext.properties file then has this
 content.

 message=dependency inject success

 when i start up tomcat 6, everything starts up correctly and there are
 no complaints. however, when i go to
 http://localhost/webapp/spring-wiring, the message that gets displayed
 is no dependency injection.

 is there something that i am missing using spring + struts2 (with the

Re: spring, struts2, convention plugin, how to wire an action class

thanks. i won't go that route. i noticed your example (in the first
response) and i realized that i may trying to push some business logic
into the Action class. and, i don't think that's too good of a

(booleans, String, int, etc...) and now the problem goes away. it's a
workaround.

if anyone is reading this post and knows how to use struts2 (w/

complicated, seem verbose with the xml).

Re: spring, struts2, convention plugin, how to wire an action class

 If you want Spring to create your action class (as opposed to Struts
 creating them) then you need to define your action in the
 applicationContext.xml file.

how do you do that? here's a couple of ways i have tried that do NOT work.

1. (normal, naive way that works for defining services)
bean id=action class=com.services.MyAction
 property name=propertyA value=${propertyA}/
/bean

2. (in this case, we do not use the id attribute, but the name attribute)
bean name=/action class=com.services.MyAction
 property name=propertyA value=${propertyA}/
/bean

i've also tried configuring struts.properties to have the
ObjectFactory use spring and this does not help.

Re: spring, struts2, convention plugin, how to wire an action class

yes, i read the documentation for that before posting here too. it
says to simply drop in the struts2-spring-plugin-version.jar. i
already have that in /WEB-INF/lib. however, towards the end of the
document, they are referencing how to initialize Actions from spring
using struts.xml and applicationContext.xml. since i am using
Annotations and the conventions plugin, i don't think this is what i
am looking for. currently, my struts.xml file is 3 lines only! (minus
the DOCTYPE lines).

there are little but significant differences in how a struts2 based
application behaves using the convention plugin (as opposed to using
the traditional struts.xml file).

i am committed to using the convention plugin + annotations and to
avoid as much as possible configurations in struts.xml. if there is an
example of how to get all this working (struts2 + convention +
annotations + spring), i would be most pleased. thanks.

 Jake, the short answer to your problem is : use the struts-spring plugin (

Re: spring, struts2, convention plugin, how to wire an action class

roger,

thanks for the steps. i went through each of those steps and made sure
my settings/configurations complied. however, i still cannot
initialize Action classes using Spring.

as an illustration of the problem i am facing, i have created an
example that you may download and verify for yourself that this does
not work.

http://www.box.net/shared/iycamr9uo6

this will download a zip file with an Eclipse project; unzip it. if
you have Ant, you simply type in ant war and the war file will be
created. if you have Tomcat, then drop the war file into the webapps
directory (assuming you have Tomcat 6.0).

if you go to http://localhost:8080/myapp/, you will see four lines displayed.
String from Action: default
boolean from Action: false
String from Service: overwritten
boolean from Service: true

The first and second lines confirm that the String and boolean values
are not injected into the Action class. The third and fourth lines
confirm that the String and boolean values are injected into the
service class.

thanks.

creates a singleton rather than a new action on each invocation which is
what Struts 2 expects)

and that should get Spring instantiating your action classes for you.

Although I'm guessing from your response you've already got to that stage.

I'm not sure that I understand what you are trying to acheive with

bean name=/action class=com.services.MyAction
property name=propertyA value=${propertyA}/
/bean

If you're trying to inject another class, then the format is on the lines of

bean name=/action class=com.services.MyAction
property name=classA ref=classA/
/bean

where you need a setter that matches the name parameter (setClassA(ClassA
classA)) in MyAction. The ref value points to another bean id=classA
class=com.services.classA/

HTH and I haven't completely misunderstood what you are trying to do.

Regards

struts 2, writing a custom tag that is able to access objects in ActionContext using OGNL

i was wondering if it was possible to write a custom tag that is able
to access objects in the ActionContext using OGNL? i'm not sure if
this is a correct question.

my problem is that i have a form. the form is posted to an action. the
action has getters/setters for the form fields. i then forward to
form-success.jsp. on this page, i can use the struts taglibs to access
the information posted. for example, s:property value=email/.
however, if i have a custom tag, how do i access email from the
ActionContext? for example, customTabLib:showEmail value=email/,
doesn't work. the tag displays the value, email. i also tried a
couple of things too that didn't work.

customTagLib:showEmail value=#email/
customTagLib:showEmail value=%{#email}/

is there a class/interface that i can extend/implement in struts 2
that would easily help me get the value of email from the
ActionContext in my custom tag?

thanks.

Re: interceptor is not being called for all action

there were 2 approaches to getting a custom stack to work (using the
convention plugin).

approach 1: use annotations. for example, use
@ParentPackage(default) for each Action class you want to use your
custom stack. also, use @InterceptorRef for each method that you want
to use your custom stack.

why do you have to use @ParentPackage(default)? here's a non-formal
answer. when you use the convention plugin, the namespace is not
default but convention-default. i infer that defining a custom
stack is placed in the default namespace, but if you use the
convention plugin, your actions will be passed through the
convention-default namespace and associated stacks. since your stack
is in the default namespace, the stack won't ever get called (even
if you set it as the default!).

hopefully other struts 2 gurus can give us more formal/precise answers.

why do you have to use @InterceptorRef? tell tell struts which stack
to use for this action (within the namespace defined by
@ParentPackage).

approach 2: simply add 1 line to struts.xml. before the package ...
... /package declarations, add constant
name=struts.convention.default.parent.package value=default/.
using this approach, you don't need to use annotations at all. also,
with this approach, it's a one-hitter-quitter, because you don't need
to do @ParentPackage and @InterceptorRef for every class/method. the
default namespace will be used, and the custom stack will be called
on every request (assuming you use default-interceptor-ref/ to
select your custom stack as the default stack).

hope that helps.

 okay, to answer my own question, yes, if you configure everything correctly,
 then you can get a customized stack to work for all Actions. the only thing
 you really need to do is add this line to struts.xml

 constant name=struts.convention.default.parent.package value=default/

 with this defined, you can remove the @ParentPackage and @InterceptorRef
 from the classes and methods.

 wow, it was that easy.

 okay, after fiddling around for 2 hours, with the weak documentation out
 there, i think i have it figured out. at least empirically, it works now.
 just in case there are other users out there who are running into this
 problem, let me explain what in the world i did. i know A LOT of other
 people have run into this problem on how to get interceptors to work with
 the convention plugin (googling). the shame is that although i saw a lot of
 thanks, i got it working, no one ever bothered to show how they got it to
 work.

 at any rate, if you read the original post by me, you will see how my
 interceptor stack was defined in struts.xml. you will also see how i
 implemented a dummy interceptor. i had to do two things to get my
 interceptor working (called on my action).
 1. add @ParentPackage(default) to my Action class
 2. add @interceptorref...@interceptorref(dummyStack) to my execute method
 (in my Action class).

 after i did this, my interceptor's intercept(ActionInvocation) method is
 called when my Action is called.

 here's how my dummy Action class looks like.

 @ParentPackage(default)
 public class DummyAction extends ActionSupport {
  @Action(value=/dummy,
   result...@result(name=success,location=dummy-success.jsp)},
   interceptorref...@interceptorref(dummyStack)}
  )
  public String execute() {
   return SUCCESS;
  }
 }

 alright, so, now i'd like to know how to get this interceptor stack
 (dummyStack) to work on all actions? in the link i posted, you can do so
 using one single line in struts.xml (i.e. default-interceptor-ref
 name=dummyStack/). with the convention plugin + annotations, is such a
 simple approach possible? or do i have to continuously add @ParentPackage
 and @InterceptorRef annotations to the classes and methods i want to use the
 stack?

 i don't know why this is such a pain (but then again, i'm not a developer
 on the struts2 project, so there may be a lot of complexities to get this
 working elegantly that i'm unaware of).

interceptor is not being called for all action

i have written an interceptor implementation, however, it seems i cannot get
it to work. i have followed the instructions at
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/interceptors.html. i have also followed
the instructions at
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/how-do-we-configure-an-interceptor-to-be-used-with-every-action.htmlto
use the interceptor with every action.

however, when any of my actions run, i never see the pre and post processing
logging messages (logging messages inside the intercept method). i do see
the logging messages from the init and destroy methods. this is not a
problem with logging (as for sanity checking, i also use System.out.println,
and have Tomcat running in console mode). i also have placed some break
points in the intercept(ActionInvocation) method, but these break points are
never reached.

this is my struts.xml.

struts
package name=default extends=struts-default
interceptors
interceptor name=dummyInterceptor
class=mypackage.DummyInterceptor/
interceptor-stack name=dummyStack
interceptor-ref name=dummyInterceptor/
interceptor-ref name=defaultStack/
/interceptor-stack
/interceptors
default-interceptor-ref name=dummyStack/
/package
/struts

this is my DummyInterceptor class.

public class DummyInterceptor implements Interceptor {
private static final Log _log =
LogFactory.getLog(DummyInterceptor.class);
public void destroy() {
_log.debug(dummy interceptor destroyed called);
System.out.println(dummy interceptor destroyed
called.toUpperCase());
}
public void init() {
_log.debug(dummy interceptor init called);
System.out.println(dummy interceptor init called.toUpperCase());
}
public String intercept(ActionInvocation actionInvocation) throws
Exception {
_log.debug(dummy interceptor intercept pre processing);
System.out.println(dummy interceptor intercept pre
processing.toUpperCase());

String result = actionInvocation.invoke();

_log.debug(dummy interceptor intercept post processing);
System.out.println(dummy interceptor intercept post
processing.toUpperCase());
return result;
}
}

i am using annotations for my Action classes, so i do not define any
action elements in struts.xml (using the Struts2 Convention jar).

one very interesting thing i did was to get struts-default.xml out of the
struts2-core-2.1.8.1.jar. i then modified struts-default.xml by adding: 1) a
definition of my interceptor and 2) my interceptor onto the defaultStack.
when i did this, my interceptor does work as expected (i see logging output
from the intercept method, i can hit break points set inside this method)
for all my actions.

i wonder if there is some gotcha that i am missing here. is there something
extra that i have to do when mixing annotations with interceptors?

thanks.

Re: interceptor is not being called for all action

i read that section on that page 10 times and i don't know how that relates
to my problem. there's simply not enough information. i guess it's pointing
me to something about namespaces, but, how do we get around this?

on the other hand, the rest of that page was informative on annotations and
the convention plugin. when i added
interceptorref...@interceptorref(dummyStack)} to the Action class' execute
method, the web application won't start up.

ERROR
com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.logging.commons.CommonsLogger.error(CommonsLogger.java:27)
- Dispatcher initialization failed
...
Caused by: Unable to find interceptor class referenced by ref-name
dummyStack - [unknown location]

how hard can it be to get this to work? interestingly, if i do this,
interceptorref...@interceptorref(defaultStack)}, all is fine and dandy
(but then, my Interceptor is not called).

Re: interceptor is not being called for all action

okay, after fiddling around for 2 hours, with the weak documentation out
there, i think i have it figured out. at least empirically, it works now.
just in case there are other users out there who are running into this
problem, let me explain what in the world i did. i know A LOT of other
people have run into this problem on how to get interceptors to work with
the convention plugin (googling). the shame is that although i saw a lot of
thanks, i got it working, no one ever bothered to show how they got it to
work.

at any rate, if you read the original post by me, you will see how my
interceptor stack was defined in struts.xml. you will also see how i
implemented a dummy interceptor. i had to do two things to get my
interceptor working (called on my action).
1. add @ParentPackage(default) to my Action class
2. add @interceptorref...@interceptorref(dummyStack) to my execute method
(in my Action class).

after i did this, my interceptor's intercept(ActionInvocation) method is
called when my Action is called.

here's how my dummy Action class looks like.

@ParentPackage(default)
public class DummyAction extends ActionSupport {
 @Action(value=/dummy,
  result...@result(name=success,location=dummy-success.jsp)},
  interceptorref...@interceptorref(dummyStack)}
 )
 public String execute() {
  return SUCCESS;
 }
}

alright, so, now i'd like to know how to get this interceptor stack
(dummyStack) to work on all actions? in the link i posted, you can do so
using one single line in struts.xml (i.e. default-interceptor-ref
name=dummyStack/). with the convention plugin + annotations, is such a
simple approach possible? or do i have to continuously add @ParentPackage
and @InterceptorRef annotations to the classes and methods i want to use the
stack?

i don't know why this is such a pain (but then again, i'm not a developer on
the struts2 project, so there may be a lot of complexities to get this
working elegantly that i'm unaware of).

Re: interceptor is not being called for all action

okay, to answer my own question, yes, if you configure everything correctly,
then you can get a customized stack to work for all Actions. the only thing
you really need to do is add this line to struts.xml

constant name=struts.convention.default.parent.package value=default/

with this defined, you can remove the @ParentPackage and @InterceptorRef
from the classes and methods.

wow, it was that easy.

 In my post action I return display which should redirect to the action 
 displayCategory which, by the way I have the display action set up should 
 call the Category method in the DisplayAction class, but it doesn't. It 
 calls the execute method.
 
 Tommy  I remember correctly from my reading, you need to return category. 
  Have you gone through the bootstrap guide/tutorial?
 
 I have tried setting up the redirectAction up in a coupld of ways, firstly as 
 show above, but also using
 param name=actioniNamedisplay/param
 param name=methodCategory/param
 using this method I get a java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: 
 com.mypack.DisplayAction.!Category() the method *does* exist as I can browse 
 to displayCategory and the behaviour is correct - is the .! part of the 
 problem here?
 
 and also param name=actionNamedisplayCategory/param does the same as 
 the more complete action detailed above.
 
 Can anyone provide any insight as to why it isn't working as I expect?

[S2] Restricting paths?

2007-11-06 Thread Jake Robb

I have an action called MainMenu.  It's defined as follows:

action name=MainMenu class=mainMenuAction
result name=success type=tilesmainMenu/result
/action

(I'm using the Spring plugin - mainMenuAction is the name of the spring
bean)

I want MainMenu to be accessible at the following URL:

http://server/main/MainMenu.action

And, as expected, it is available there.  However, it's also available
at any of these:

http://server/MainMenu.action
http://server/what/MainMenu.action
http://server/foo/MainMenu.action
http://server/bar/MainMenu.action
http://server/arbitrarily/long/path/MainMenu.action

etc.

I tried changing the action definition like so:

action name=/main/MainMenu class=mainMenuAction
result name=success type=tilesmainMenu/result
/action

But now my action isn't available at *any* path.

How can I restrict access to the action to only the path(s) I want?

Thanks!

[S2] Display Tag? (2.0.11)

2007-11-01 Thread Jake Robb

I've used DisplayTag with S1 before, with excellent results.  I'm also
using it in S2 in a few cases, and it's working fine.

However, now I want to use it to render a form.  Each row in the table
will contain a couple of input tags, and the table as a whole represents
a single List on my action.

Without DisplayTag, I can accomplish that as follows:

  s:iterator value=rules status=status id=rule
div class=resultRow${status.odd ? ' highlight' : ''}
  div class=name
s:property value=name /
  /div
  div class=value
s:textfield name=%{'rules['+#status.index+'].value'} label=
size=90 /
  /div
/div
  /s:iterator


I converted the code above as follows:

  display:table htmlId=rulesTable list=rules id=rule
display:column title=Rule Name
  s:property value=name /
/display:column
display:column title=Rule Name
  s:textfield name=rules[rule_rowNum].value label= size=90 /
/display:column
  /display:table


But that didn't work, because DisplayTag doesn't push rule_rowNum onto
the stack.  So I added a push tag:

  display:table htmlId=rulesTable list=rules id=rule
s:push value=%= rule_rowNum.toString() % id=rowNum/
display:column title=Rule Name
  s:property value=name /
/display:column
display:column title=Rule Name
  s:textfield name=rules[rowNum].value size=90 /
/display:column
  /display:table


Then I discovered that s:push doesn't accept runtime expressions, just
like everything else in 2.0.11.

So, how do I accomplish this?  I guess I could keep it the old way, but
I'd really rather be consistent.

[S2] s:if test attribute not a runtime expression?

Okay, this might be a question for the dev list, but bear with me for a
minute.

My application is currently using Struts 2.0.8.  I read about some
security and bug fixes in 2.0.9 and 2.0.10.  According to the Struts
JIRA server, 2.0.10 has been complete since September 9th, so I figured
I'd wait for that to get promoted to GA rather than upgrading to 2.0.9
and then to 2.0.10 shortly thereafter.  I then noticed that 2.0.11 is
also complete in JIRA, and has been since September 21st.

My application is in early development, so I can afford to be an early
adopter.  To that end, I just downloaded Struts 2.0.11 from here: 
http://people.apache.org/builds/struts/2.0.11/

I upgraded the JAR files in my application and rebuilt.  A quick sanity
check revealed a JSP compile error:

ConfigureRules.jsp:9:7: Static attribute must be a String literal, its
illegal to specify an expression.
s:if test=${not empty rules}
  ^--^

I dug around for a minute and found something weird.  The following is
an excerpt from struts-tags.tld, which is in struts2-core-2.0.11.jar:

  tag
nameif/name
tag-classorg.apache.struts2.views.jsp.IfTag/tag-class
body-contentJSP/body-content
description![CDATA[If tag]]/description
attribute
  nameid/name
  requiredfalse/required
  rtexprvaluefalse/rtexprvalue
  description![CDATA[id for referencing element. For UI and form
tags it will be used as HTML id attribute]]/description
/attribute
attribute
  nametest/name
  requiredtrue/required
  rtexprvaluefalse/rtexprvalue
  description![CDATA[Expression to determine if body of tag is to
be displayed]]/description
/attribute
  /tag

As you can see, the attribute test is configured not to allow runtime
expressions.  I went back and checked in 2.0.8, and rtexprvalue was true
in that version.  I downloaded 2.0.9, and it was true there too.  I
haven't downloaded 2.0.10.

So, here's my question:

Is that a deliberate change?  If so, why, and what is the new way to
accomplish what I was doing before?

And a side question: once a version is complete in JIRA, what else has
to happen before that version becomes GA?

Thanks,
Jake Robb

RE: [S2] s:if test attribute not a runtime expression?

Pardon me for being totally new to OGNL, but what would be the
equivalent of ${not empty rules}?

I noticed something broken in showcase on trunk once and brought it up -

https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2206

In discussion, I realized that the dev team is moving away from other
expression languages in favor of OGNL only (or whatever is plugged-in
in struts 2.1.x).

Thanks, that seems to have done the trick.  :)

%{rules != null  rules.size()  0}

(I didn't test it, I'm just guessing)
