Hi, Is it possible in struts1 to include a parameter in the action redirection. If I have a web application say, http://www..xyz.com/welcome.do and I want to redirect it to http://www.xyz.com/welcomeredirect.do?cmp=company1 while value of cmp will be assigned dynamically. how can I achieve this? Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Is there any way in Struts2 to handle session sharing accross browsers
Hi All - Is there any way in Struts2 to handle session sharing across browsers. My problem: User logs in - session created, user does CTRL+N and opens child window now he logs in as admin- session created (it does not create new session) and now parent window has the admin session, and session data is of admin. This problem is seen only when browser windows are opened by CTRL+N. Please suggest -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Is-there-any-way-in-Struts2-to-handle-session-sharing-accross-browsers-tp26964416p26964416.html Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Re: Is there any way in Struts2 to handle session sharing accross browsers
Thanks Paul, What I mean is not exaclty one session per user rather preventing or detecting the session which is getting copied when any one does CTRL+N or in IE7 opens application new TAB. In above said cases session remains to be same however session data is replaced with the recentely logged in user's data. This creates problem when employee logs in one window and same employee tries to log as admin in CTRL+Ned window as admin which will result in employee session data being replaced by admin data -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Is-there-any-way-in-Struts2-to-handle-session-sharing-accross-browsers-tp26964416p26964689.html Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org
Struts woes
Hi.
I am upgrading from Struts 2.0.11 to 2.1.6, which mostly works as it
should thanks to the migration guide [1]. A couple of things elude me,
though:
1) I am not able to get fetch static files from dojo. They are supposed
to be in the classpath per default [2], but the
/struts/dojo/struts_dojo.js path only gives me a 404. These files are
in the struts2-dojo-plugin jar, and the jar is included in my War (under
WEB-INF/lib/)
2) I also get NullPointers in
com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.TextParseUtil.java (155) and
com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.LocalizedTextUtil.findText (318) when
accessing certain pages. It seems that it's unable to fetch the strings
in under WEB-INF/classes/my/app/package.properties
Best regards,
Henrik

Re: [STRUTS] Issues switching context paths
In the struts-config.xml, you still leave things as /appEntryPoint, and the same holds true for custom tags e.g. html:form action=/appEntryPoint/html:form html:link action=/appEntryPoint/html:link The struts controller and the taglibs will take /appEntryPoint, find matching actions, and translate into /ice/appEntryPoint.do for you. Keep in mind that if you don't use the custom tags, then you may have to prepend /ice, and add the .do (or whatever you specified in web.xml) suffix e.g. form action=/ice/appEntryPoint.do/form a href=/ice/appEntryPoint.do?.../form I just upgraded to struts 1.2.4, and now we want to move from our app at /, to being /ice/ So I modified my application.xml to be /ice and then pre-pended /ice to all of my actions. So I went from /appEntryPoint to /ice/appEntryPoint in the struts-config.xml Now when I navigate to http://www.localhost/ice/appEntryPoint.do: I get Invalid Path to /appEntryPoint requested.

Re: [OT] how do i get context-param
I had the same feeling that servlet spec. should be more specific when
I just started working with J2EE:)
But, my experience tells me that a specification tells you What you
need to have in a servlet container and not How to implement a
servlet container.
If I want to learn servlet programming, I usually pick up Jason Hunter's book.

find any of the plethora of books, magazine articles, tutorials, and
mailing lists that are available to be somewhat more accessible.

As for your specific question about accessing a context init

Well, I have to criticize my own advice. I just read over the Servlet
2.4 spec. It doesn't explain this well at all, in my opinion. It still
uses the same old, nearly meaningless, obscure language like used by
the Servlet container to communicate with a Servlet, and stuff like
that, which doesn't help anyone who actually wants to write a program.
It does mention the getInitParameter methods of ServletContext and
ServletConfig, but nowhere that I could find does it simply say, use one
with this element in web.xml and the other with that element in web.xml,
and/or why you would choose one or the other.
Why can't the spec just say what I wrote below instead of trying to be
so conceptual? Is what I wrote wrong? This is the stuff that .NET
people criticize and that frustrates new programmers (in my experience).
Here is a partial outline of how it should be explained:
Initializing a Servlet
-
I. Initialization parameter that is global to your Web application (all
Servlets)
A. web.xml
web-app
. . .
context-param
param-nameglobalDateFormatString/param-name
param-value-MM-dd/param-value
/context-param
. . .
/web-app
B. Java
// store the date format String, but not a DateFormat,
// as an instance variable or class variable
// (DateFormat can't always be used concurrently)
protected String globalDateFormatString;
. . .
public void init() throws ServletException, UnavailableException {
globalDateFormatString =
getServletContext().getInitParameter(globalDateFormatString);
// try to instantiate a SimpleDateFormat with the String;
// if the String is invalid, throw an Exception to make the Servlet
unavailable
}
II. Initialization parameter that is specific to one Servlet
A. web.xml
servlet
. . .
init-param
param-namespecificDateFormatString/param-name
param-value|EEE, d MMM HH:mm:ss Z|/param-value
/init-param
. . .
/servlet
B. Java
protected String specificDateFormatString;
. . .
public void init() throws ServletException, UnavailableException {
globalDateFormatString =
getServletConfig().getInitParameter(specificDateFormatString);
}
Please correct me if I have it wrong, or show me the light if I missed
something in the spec. I know I learned this somewhere, but can't
remember where (the tutorial maybe?).
Shouldn't this be the way the spec reads, or does this type of example
belong somewhere else?
Erik
P.S. The spec is still required reading. ;-)

ServletConfig.getInitParameter is used with the init-param element

In addition to the JavaDocs, you should read the Servlet
specification, which tells you how Servlets and Servlet containers
are supposed to work. Trust me, it is required reading:

Re: contrib/struts-shale-mailreader

Thus, I am not totally familiar with the new frameworks and hope you can bear with me. Are you saying that Tile and backing bean don't have to co-exist? I thought Tiles and backing bean are two different things. Backing bean is sort of like ActionForm in Struts. More accurately, backing bean is like OzPage in Tak's introductory document. Backing beans and tiles need to co-exist in any decent dynamic web or portlet application. This is a very powerful presentation framework. Backing bean is a power tool under jsf. In a typical dynamic page, there is NOT a 1-to-1 mapping between a backing bean and a navigated page. A page is made of many dynamic fragments, each fragment has its own backing bean to receive data input from user and to push relevant data back to the user depending on user request context. Jsf provides this required infrastructure and fully configurable under managed beans. For example, if user asks any information related to company X in your portal directory, the portal supply requested information together with user existing authorized services under a complete layout of company X name brand (with company X logo vision, product vision, and copyright, etc) by just changing the contents of the company backing bean. The components and layouts to make up a page are re-useable. Tiles enables you to encapsulate the layouts and insert dynamic fragments to the page. For example, your portal enables user with different portal tabs so user can organize his/her authorized services in relevant portal tab, named by the user in his/her own language. Each portal tab has differnet layout designed for its purpose. The design of your portlet authorized services may follow a typical portlet layout with a portlet header for current status of PortletMode and portlet WindowState, followed by portlet contents. Hence, in each portal tab page, you have a tab layout and the portlet layout as raw templates. You insert relevant contents to the raw components having their own backing beans in the raw templates. Tiles is a very clean and powerful for this job. Under Shale, Tiles can be a plug in, similar to current tiles under struts. The design can be similar to what has been done under MyFaces for tiles. Each nagigated page is routed to a tiles definition with its own layout. Any attribute in a definition can be a page fragment or another definition. This enables you to be simple at the beginning and further drill down for more dynamic content implementation. I hope someone has time to port Tiles under Shale so it can be used under any compliant JSF implementation. If i have time i will do it. But life will not always go according to your wishes. Currently, i use MyFaces + Tiles + Spring IoC. I will use Shale as a framework for application filter to leverage on whatever developed under Shale, while inserting whatever servlet filters you already have for your current applications using common-chain in Shale.

Can someone tell me how to display error message beside an input field using struts validator? I've never seen any automatic message placement. You can access messages like this: html:messages property=username id=msg/html:messages html:messages is effectively a combination logic/iterator tag. If there are any username messages in the ActionMessages object saved as the errors messages, the body of html:messages will be evaluated once for each, with a scripting variable of type String defined with the name specified in the id attribute. You can use c:out or bean:write to display this value, wrapped with span, div, or other tags which format your messages correctly. I kind of think someone talked on the list once about making something which rendered an HTML label tag and which was also smart about the presence of errors. I like the idea of something like that in general, but wonder if you'd be able to specify something suitably general for inclusion in Struts. Seems like it might be better left for local development.
