Re: any struts 2 unit testers out there?
Yeah, I think for the moment I will simply override the getText method. The other solutions do require much more effort. Actually I did not search Jira. Maybe there is already a request. I will take a look. Thanks, Paul B. Laurie Harper wrote: As Ian says, the mock objects supplied by XWork may make this all a lot easier, but in any case all this is predicated on the fact that you're using ActionSupport's implementation of TextProvider which doesn't make provision for mocking at test time. I think it would make a great deal of sense to improve that (open an enhancement request in Jira), but in the mean time, there's nothing preventing you from providing a getText() implementation that's more conducive to testing. I feel your pain on this one, and the right solution is to fix the framework (patches always welcome ;-), but it shouldn't be that hard to get around.

It is caused by ActionContext.getContext() returning null. Quite obviously I
do not have an action context during my unit testing.
Now I can certainly use the ActionContext.setContext() in my tests setup
method to push one into thread local storage and that works OK. It isn't
ideal though because ActionContext is a concrete class and so my choices
then become a bit limited.
I could create an instance but when I try this I find I have to create a
rather large object model to make it actually work. To the point where I
despair and give up.
Alternatively I could use a mock library (like easy mock). But I am not
inclined to include a mocking library that requires byte code rewriting (not
even for testing).
What I really want to do is inject a text provider into the ActionSupport
class. At the top of the ActionSupport class is this...
private final transient TextProvider textProvider = new
TextProviderFactory().createInstance(getClass(), this);
Damn its final and so I cannot inject my own text provider.
BUT it uses a factory, thats good. I know I will have a look at the factory
I bet I can monkey with that and inject a mock. Nope. It's all instance
based. No way I can get in there. And thats that. Now what do I do?
I can see two (half) workable solutions.
One is to override the the getText method in the action class when I
instantiate it during testing. So I end up doing this in all my action unit
tests...
Action action = new MyAction()
{
@Override
public String getText(String textName)
{
return mocked;
}
};
It works, but its cheese.
Or two I can add a level of indirection in my action class, like so...
String text =
MyTextProviderFactory.getInstance(class.name).getText(some.property);
Then I can use a delegate to the real text provider during live code and a
mock of my own text provider during testing. The question here is, Why for
the love of Pete, why?
So in conclusion there are at least four options for testing Action classes
that use get text.
1. Build an action context by hand. (Too hard)
2. Use a class rewriting mocking library. (Not on my watch)
3. Mock the get text method. (Cheese)
4. Add another level of indirection. (Man thats just annoying)
Comments?
BTW If you got this far, thanks for taking the time.

Re: actions defined in a package are visible in other packages??
Dave,
OK did as you suggested, cranked up the logging level and I do now get some
logging. I created a little sandbox app to test out some things with and
simplifying has really helped. Heres what I have now
div
s:action name=test namespace=secondary executeResult=true/
/div
div
s:action name=secondary/test.action executeResult=true/
/div
div
s:url id=testUrlId namespace=secondary action=test/
s:a href=%{testUrlId}execute test action/s:a
/div
Now the first div works exactly as expected.
The second one also works how would expect it to. It Always generates a
stack trace with the error message There is no Action mapped for action
name secondary/test.ation regardless of how I try to specify the 'path' to
the action. Now I know that the namespace does not represent a path and that
I need to use the namespace attribute. I think thats fine and that doesn't
give me any kind of problem. I can always specify the namespace attribute
and all is well.
But the third div is my problem. There seems to be no way a can form a URL
for s:a tag that lets me build a link to the namespaced action. The link
directs the browser to...
http://localhost:8080/sandbox/secondary/test.action
That seems ok to me. but when I click this link I get this...

If thats correct (the link represents a path after all), am I going to have
to have all my links in the root namespace? I can do this of course, but it
seems a ilttle restrictive.
Just have to say thanks for all the feedback. I am always impressed with the
help given on these lists.

Yeah, that's a little weird. If you turn up the logging is there anything

Re: actions defined in a package are visible in other packages??
Dave,
Thanks for the help here. I see the same thing happening now.
If I have a leading slash in my config file I can create a link with both
and action and a url but the action tag then only works if I have a leading
slash. If I dont then I get the 'cannot find action' error.
I can create a url tag with or without a leading slash.
If I dont have a leading slash in the namespace attribute in the config file
I cannot create a url at all.
It may be inconsistent. It maybe documented that way. It may be the case
that this demonstrates the correct semantics for both the url and action
tags, I don't know. I do know that I can make progress now and that makes me
happy.
I do wonder if this is correct. I am gonna have a good long look at docs
again and see.
Thanks all for the feedback. Especially Dave N.

Off the top of my head I'd say that the dispatcher is looking in a /
namespace (as opposed to the (empty string) namespace) and can't find
the
action there (or is looking in instead of /, maybe).
If you use the leading / in your namespace attribute (both in your S2
config file and in the tags) it should work. (Although I just tried it
only
in config and not in the tag and that worked too, but I wouldn't recommend
it.)

Dave,
OK did as you suggested, cranked up the logging level and I do now get
some
logging. I created a little sandbox app to test out some things with and
simplifying has really helped. Heres what I have now

s:action name=secondary/test.action executeResult=true/
/div
div
s:url id=testUrlId namespace=secondary action=test/
s:a href=%{testUrlId}execute test action/s:a

Now the first div works exactly as expected.
The second one also works how would expect it to. It Always generates a
stack trace with the error message There is no Action mapped for action
name secondary/test.ation regardless of how I try to specify the 'path'
to
the action. Now I know that the namespace does not represent a path and
that
I need to use the namespace attribute. I think thats fine and that
doesn't
give me any kind of problem. I can always specify the namespace attribute
and all is well.
But the third div is my problem. There seems to be no way a can form a
URL
for s:a tag that lets me build a link to the namespaced action. The link
directs the browser to...
http://localhost:8080/sandbox/secondary/test.action
That seems ok to me. but when I click this link I get this...

Thanks, I had seen those, but the problem I was having was that at no point in the docs (afaik) is there an example of a URL to actually target an action in a namespace. Through a (very tedious) process of trial and error I finally stumbled upon a (the?) solution.

Re: actions defined in a package are visible in other packages??
laurie,
I have examples of one page in a namespace invoking action in the same
namespace and now I know how to call across to it from my root it all looks
good.
My problem is that I want to use actions in the target namespace from my
root namespace as simple links.
so I think (being a bit of a struts 2 novice) that something like...
div
a: href=some-namespace/do.action/other-domain
/div
might not be reasonable.
I might also want to pass the url to some Javascript to invoke a call for
some JSON or god forfend some XML. e.g.
s:url namespace=some-namespace name=do var=theURL/
onClick=call('s:property name=theURL')
In fact I have tried this and I get the same behaviour as the div example. A
console.debug the value of the param shows a partial url in the form
/some-namespace/do.action. But I get nothing.
However when I click such a link I get no activity at all. I have breakpoint
in first the interceptor (acegi security as it happens) but there is no call
and looking at the browser source it shows no content in the div (firefox on
linux btw).
Its just plain odd. I am gonna have to do some more looking. I just know I
am doing something wrong here and when I fing myself sniffing networks I'm
certain.
Still if I had a life I probably wouldn't care. The earch goes on:-P
Cheers,
Paul B

Did you try s:action namespace=/some-namespace action=myAction
executeResult=true/? If the namespace of the action that renders this
page is also some-namespace you should be able to leave out the
namespace attribute, too, and just use action=myAction.

LOL. For an Englishman sometimes my English sucks. No I probably dont want errors. What I meant was that this demonstrated to me the dependency on version 0.4.x of Dojo and thats a showstopper. I really want to use 1.0.x so I am going to have to choose between Struts 2.1 and its lovely stuff for Dojo and 1.0.x and rolling my own solution with an older version of Struts. Damn, thats a shame.

Re: [S2] dojo plugin - I don't find the resources
Yep, that works exactly like it says on wiki. out of curiosity just how does that automagic work? How on earth does the path /whatever/struts/css_xhtml/validation.js get resolved to a jar? Also I guess that the baseRelativePath attribute is a bit of red-herring. The restructuring between version 0.4.x and 1.0.x of dojo is pretty radical. No way they are compatible. I did just check out the source and start a build. But frankly the newer features of Dojo I am losing is a bit of a showstopper. I may well have to drop a back a version of Struts and roll my own solution. It's such a shame I would love to get all that great stuff for free. There is simply no way I can convince my employer I can contribute a solution on their time but I have to think my best solution would be to do it anyway.

Using a different Dojo version is probably a Bad Idea, although I haven't actually tried to know what any potential issues would be. If you're set on using S2.1 and its Dojo plugin I'd really recommend just getting the complete source via Subversion and build via Maven rather than trying to put all the pieces together manually. All the JavaScript is included in either the S2 core JAR or the Dojo plugin JAR; mixing Dojo versions is probably bad. d. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-S2--dojo-plugin---I-don%27t-find-the-resources-tp14030983p15136841.html Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So I started looking at the page source and the template sources to see what the templates for sx:head and sx:div were up to. it appears that sx:head creates links for various resources... script language=JavaScript type=text/javascript src=/application/struts/ajax/dojoRequire.js/script link rel=stylesheet href=/application/struts/xhtml/styles.css type=text/css/ script language=JavaScript src=/application/struts/utils.js type=text/javascript/script script language=JavaScript src=/application/struts/xhtml/validation.js type=text/javascript/script script language=JavaScript src=/application/struts/css_xhtml/validation.js type=text/javascript/script None of which exists in my application. So I am guessing (never a good idea) that I need to compose these bits from the distro. You are right these components do exists in the libraries. Am I right in thinking I need to copy these into my web application in the structure required by the links in the head template? Also I get various javascript errors... 1. Could not load 'dojo.io.BrowserIO'; last tried './io/BrowserIO.js' 2. dojo.hostenv has no properties 3. djConfig.searchIds has no properties These I suspect are related to the version of dojo I am using (1.0.2 which is the latest release). The path io.BrowserIO.js for example just doesn't exists. Man I would love to get this working. It is just what my app need.

Mmm, all of the deps should be in the dojo-plugin and struts core, IIRC. Are there specific issues you're running in to? d. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-S2--dojo-plugin---I-don%27t-find-the-resources-tp14030983p15136127.html Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [S2] dojo plugin - I don't find the resources
Dave, I guess if use Dojo independantly of the S2 tags the Musachy point about ending up writing the same things all over my JSP's applies. I think if I want to do this in a grown up way the right thing to do would be to bite down hard and write some freemarker. I do REALLY want to do the right way. Thanks again for your (and Musachy's), remarkably prompt, feedback. Truly appreciated.

Yes, but the freemarker templates for head and div (and I guess the others too) are highly dependent on version 0.4.x of Dojo. So to make this work I would have to rewrite said templates. uhm, I may just do that. Cheers, Paul B.

For an Englishman sometimes my English sucks. No I probably dont want errors. What I meant was that this demonstrated to me the dependency on version 0.4.x of Dojo and thats a showstopper. I really want to use 1.0.x so I am going to have to choose between Struts 2.1 and its lovely stuff for Dojo and 1.0.x and rolling my own solution with an older version of Struts. Damn, thats a shame.

Wait, you have an actual requirement for JavaScript errors!? ;) I still do not get a call to any action for the div. You should probably post at least the JSP source for the sx:div... tag; I don't remember it anymore if I ever saw it. d. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-S2--dojo-plugin---I-don%27t-find-the-resources-tp14030983p15137583.html Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Hey you!

Re: [S2] dojo plugin - I don't find the resources
Cant argue with that. I guess a little background on what I am up to would help. I am trying to build an application using the dojo plugin. So what I did was include a dependency on struts core 2.1.0 snapshot and the dojo-plugin 2.1.0 snapshot in my pom file added the http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository repository and let maven do its thing. Then following the instructions at.. http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/ajax-tags.html (which are public, I guess) I tried to get my application going with a simple page using just the head and a div tags. what the head template outputs are some links (see my earlier post for the details) to application/struts/* js and css files. So what I am trying to do is assemble the components that the head template requires and put them in the right place. It seems they are many and distributed across multiple jars. I will persevere as I really want to use the components, they just fit the bill for my application perfectly. Thanks for your help so far, Paul B. newton.dave wrote: --- paulbrickell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK Dave, for those of us who are interested in getting 2.1 working the original poster's question seems entirely relevant. Sure, but I'm not entirely clear how I'd know what version they wanted to use if they don't tell me, and since 2.1 isn't released I'll generally provide information for the currently released version, which isn't what the wiki documents. Just what does the line '- include the Dojo Plugin distributed with Struts 2 in your /WEB-INF/lib' mean. I cannot find any distribution or source for said plugin either. There is no distribution for the S2.1 Dojo plugin; the builds for 2.1 are only struts-core, which isn't released. The source is available in the repository which can be retrieved via Subversion and built with Maven. Take the built JAR file and put it in WEB-INF/lib. d. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-S2--dojo-plugin---I-don%27t-find-the-resources-tp14030983p15135208.html Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
