How to use XSL Result
Hi, I am trying to create a simple XML output using Struts 2 (2.6.1). Following tips from this list I chose to use an action with xsl result (although writing/debugging an extra XSLT in my case is just a nice exercise). I am looking for some documentation about the XML (resp. DOM) the XSLT is to process. I only find some examples but nothing comprehensive. Especially the handling of map properties is important to me. It seems a node called "entry" with children "key" and "value" is created? I tried to use no stylesheet at all as some of the posters/bloggers in the web suggest but I only get error messages that no location (of the stylesheet?) has been specified. Could someone please help? Thanks! Martin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org

[s2] strange (for me) OGNL behavior
Hi, OGNL is a great mystery for me. It does magic and - well - strange things. :-) Perhaps you can help me out. The situation: I have a S2 (2.16) site where I use on some pages a form like this: This works great. The problem: when pressing the Submit-button, Struts throws exceptions that it (OGNL) cannot set the properties x and y which do not exist. This does not stop my app from working, its just ugly. Looking a bit into the problem I found that the form tries to transfer plzs_submit.x and plzs_submit.y and this causes the problem. I am puzzled. Any explanation and hint for stopping this will be greatly appreciated. Martin +--- Dipl. inf.

Aw: Re: Aw: [s2] Using UTF-8 in .properties files
It is definitely possible to develop non-English applications using resource bundles. I typically put the Unicode codes (\u) in the .properties files when developing apps which must support e. g. cyrillic text. This is not as comfortable as it could be, but there are web based converters from non-ASCII text to unicode code sequences. And then: copy & paste. If you have to deal with a lot of text, it might be worthwhile to look for ResourceBundle extensions capable of real Unicode text.

Aw: [s2] Using UTF-8 in .properties files
If you look in the Java docs, you will see this is not possible. .properties files are always ASCII. The only possibility to include non-ASCII characters is using the Unicode codes \u. I do hate this. There might be a way to extend the resource bundle framework to support files using other encodings, but I never found a ready-to-use package and writing it myself was never worthwhile.

Aw: Re: minimal app server for embedded Struts1 or 2 solution
Scott, this is a little internal application which imports data from several systems into our CMS. We support a lot of these "importers". These run typically on dedicated machines and should be rapidly installable. If I would choose to make it a web application deployable on an application server this would mean a big maintenance overhead. I am simply looking for a better solution for an administrative interface than just hitting the command line.

minimal app server for embedded Struts1 or 2 solution
Hi, I am currently working on a little application which needs a user interface for administration. I think an embedded app server with a Struts based application might be a good choice. But one big obstacle is in the way, I fear: the size of such a solution. What do you think is the minimal solution giving the comfort of a Struts based approach and not dominating the workhorse app with tons of jars only needed for the small admin part? Jetty as an App server? Or Tomcat? Or some other, really small? Struts 1 or 2 (I would think Struts1 is the smaller solution)? Or shouldn't I attempt this approach and write a simple servlet? What do you do? I cannot assume a Servlet container to be installed on machines my app will run on. There might be multiple instances of my app running on the same machine. The UI should work over the network although a console based approach might be possible, too.

RE: [struts2]how to configure the web app - solved!
First of all, thanks to all who answered to my previous posting!
I did not want one of this big "use another framework
[Spring/AppFuse/Hibernate/...] in addition to Struts2" things. While this is
surely the right way to go for a lot of heavy weight systems there are also
smaller lightweight apps which need some initialization at startup time (and
btw: these other frameworks themselves need a hook to the lifecycle events of
the web app)
Finally I found the way to go:
just use a ServletContextListener and put the configuration parameters you need
in the deployment descriptor web.xml.
The only "trick" needed: use instead of !
One can access these context parameters the same way like servlet init
parameters:
use
...
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent lcEvent) {
ServletContext context = lcEvent.getServletContext();
String par = context.getInitParameter("foo"); // this will access the
context parameter "foo" from web.xml
...
}

Aw: Re: [struts2]how to configure the web app
Hi Jim, could you detail on this? I am not really familiar with Spring and at first sight it looks much too mighty for just some little initialization, but maybe its providing the hook I am looking for.

[struts2]how to configure the web app
Hi, I am new to Struts2 and stumbling immediately. I want to have an initialization routine in my web app which will connect to a data base etc. at startup time. This routine needs some parameters (e. g. the path of a config file to be read). How can I access such external information? With Servlets I would normally implement a ServletContextListener which would get its information as an init-param from web.xml. But for Struts2 there is no spec where I could put it. Writing Struts1 applications I typically utilized a plugin which could read parameters from struts-config.xml. Maybe this is still possible, but the Struts2 plugin mechanism seems to be too powerful (or just overwhelming) for me. What is the preferred way?
