Re: Confused about upgrading Apache Struts

[Alex Choi]

Hi Sean,

Maybe I can help explain what you're about to undertake from a SysAdmin
prospective.

Upgrading or changing an application framework like Struts is similar to
upgrading or changing a Linus/Unix pplication package or dependancies.  In
Windows, it would be similar to upgrading or changing DLLs.

In those cases, APIs, application  structures, processing flows, and so-on
may have changed.  If any of these items have changed, then the application
may need to change too.

A starting point is the reviewing the framework's documentation, change
logs, applications technical documentation and so-on.  As Dave mention
before, if you need help with understanding these documents you should
consult with the application developers or your application vendor.

I hope this helps.

Alex

Hello David

Thank you for the reply.  Is it difficult for a Linux Admin who is a
non-developer to upgrade struts by themselves?

Re: Confused about upgrading Apache Struts

[David Greene]

Struts is a MVC framework for a web application.  That application needs to
be modified to use different version of the Struts2 library and depending
on what version you're currently running, you may have many changes to make
on the application's end.

If that application is owned by your company, hire a Java dev to do this
work for you.  Save yourself the headache.

If that application is owned by another company and your company
bought/contracted/etc that application, contact the vendor and ask them
about when they'll patch their software appropriately.

Other than that, there's documents here to help:

You can use org.apache.struts2.util.ListEntry , a default object to hold key

All the drop down lists in my application need to be generated from the

So, in order to work with the  tag I am building an action for

I know this has to be wrong.  Especially because some JSP's will need
multiple drop down lists.  What is the best way of doing this in struts
2.1.8?  Here is an example create method that I am using and the JSP
that feeds it.  Should I be using a better way to get to create from a
JSP?  I want to be able to use the roles drop down in multiple JSP's.

public String createUser()

User user = new User();
user.setUserName(userName);
user.setPassword(password);
user.setFirstName(firstName);
user.setLastName(lastName);
user.setPhone(phone);
user.setEmail(email);
service.createUser(user);
String userId = service.getUserId(user.getUserName());
roleUser = new RoleUser();

Just add something like the following to the methods that execute before JSP
processing.

this.roles = service.getRoles();

You might also look into the Preparable interface, depending on application
design.

Ok now I recall it was Shale, which in my understanding is the next

Re: Confused by Result-generation

[Stephan Schröder]

Ok, i found the answer with debugging
DefaultActionInvocation.invoke()-method. It's the first case even if one
interceptor doesn't call actionInvocation.invoke(). In that case the result
is generated surrounded by all of the previous interceptors.

If all (e.g.2) interceptors call actionInvocation.invoke() you get this
call-sequence: 
Interceptor 1-> Interceptor 2-> Action-> Result-> Interceptor 2->
Interceptor 1

If one (e.g. the second) interceptor doesn't call actionInvocation.invoke()
you get:
Interceptor 1-> Interceptor 2-> Result-> Interceptor 1

There's some tricky use of recursion.

Stephan

The Include tag creates a javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher and performs 
an include operation [1].  The tag attempts to create a reference to the 
resource provided as a parameter based on the current servlet path.  It 
should be able to invoke an action if the Struts2 Filter sees that 
include request. 

The Action tag creates a struts ActionInvocation based on your 
Configuration and invokes it as accessed via the Filter (through all the 
interceptors). It can invoke any action but be wary that the 
ActionContext is stored in a ThreadLocal (not saved and restored after 
an invocation) and not all results can be safely executed within another 
page.


Hope that helps,

Confluence provides a "label" feature. From "Browse Site", we can
select the label tag, and then view a list of pages by label. Right
now, we're mainly using labels to tag the "experimental" features.

Indexing a site (or a book) is not a trivial task, but it is helpful,
if someone has the time.


having a reliable search service is another option.


"Reliable" is a complex word. The HTML version of the site has a
Google search feature that seems to work well for me. On the
Confluence side, we can narrow the search to the Struts Documentation
space. But, it's still a simple keyword search.

Well, you *don't* have a result for "input", which is

Also, the built-in result names are lowercase,

I'm not sure I really understand your problem description, but it
*sounds* like the browser is making a request to the application context root 
during rendering of the intended page.

A common cause for that is an  tag's src attribute, or some other URL in 
the page, pointing to '#' or '#something' -- e.g. . 
Check your rendered HTML for stray references to resources (images, 
stylesheets, etc).

Re: confused with redirects

[James Mitchell]

;)  I thought so.


So, all the following are true:
 - you are testing this on your local machine (your browser is  
hitting your own machine)
 - you have enabled cookies on your machine (if not, make sure all  
urls are rewritten correctly, before you click on them)

 - you have a "global" forward named "welcome"
 - "welcome" goes to a jsp page with links that, when clicked,
   will take the user to (for instance) /yourapp/PopulateUserInfo.do
 - you know for a fact that this action is being called because you
a) added a few print statements
  or
b) you set a breakpoint and watched the debugger step through it
 - this action returns an ActionForward that will go to UserInfo.jsp
 - you know for a fact that UserInfo.jsp is the path for the  
returned ActionForward because:

a) added a few print statements
  or
b) you set a breakpoint and watched the debugger step through it

If you are not hitting your own machine, make sure there isn't a  
proxy or something that might be rewriting the request headers or  
screwing with the cookies in any way.


If all the above are true, make sure:
 - you do not have any filters or listeners intercepting the request  
and changing/wrapping/hijacking/etc


Sorry for the flood of if/else, but without sitting behind you are  
watching what you are doing, this is the best I can offer.

Re: [To sum it up] Re: Confused

[Andre Van Klaveren]

I wouldn't even say that Struts and EJBs are on the opposite end of a
scale.  They can't be compared because they aren't the same thing
(apples and oranges comes to mind).

Struts is a Java implementation of the MVC (Model 2) pattern.  It
gives you a nice framework with a controller and a bunch or really
nice utilities (tags, validation, etc) to build with.  It's meant  to
be used on your presentation tier.  I know, some developers choose to
put business logic and persistence code in their Action classes but in
my opinion that's not a good practice since you're coupling your model
to your presentation tier.  Change your presentation framework
(Struts) and you now have to change all of your business classes.

EJB provides a framework for your model (business) and persistence
tiers.  It gives you nice things like declarative transaction and
security management, object pooling, etc.  It's usually too complex
for anything other than large enterprise applications though.  I'd go
with Hibernate or IBATIS.

[OT] Re: [To sum it up] Re: Confused / one little question

[Radu Badita]

In fact, this thread was really about Struts and how it integrates with 
various J2EE technologies and containers, not "about Hibernate/EJBs"...
Anyway: I don't think that anyone says that Hibernate is better than EJB 
period; but maybe easier and more flexible to use than Entity EJBs CMP, 
which is just one of the species of EJBs.
It is true that EJB (entity beans or not) has these nice features you 
mention: declarative transactions and declarative security (multi 
threading and "synchronization" are in fact container and coding 
related, and also "implemented" by Hibernate), BUT the question is: are 
those really necessary?
Hibernate also supports CMT, and, if facaded by SessionBeans (which is a 
very common scenario and is also recomanded for entity beans), you have 
declarative transactions.
Security is a very nice feature, but in scenarios where you only use a 
web application to access the EJBs, and the EJB container is "isolated" 
from the rest of the world, it becomes either useless, or a burdain to 
use... And I think that this scenario is the most common (especially 
among the subscribers to a list such as "Struts Users" :)
It's also true that in some scenarios the Entity Beans might be more 
effective than using an ORM such as Hibernate, but these scenarios are 
extremely rare...
Also, even Hibernate is sometimes regarded as being too complicated and 
too hard to learn by some (it was a very hot discussion about this on 
this list), and in even simpler scenarios are preferred even simpler 
tools such as iBatis, ORB, etc..
In my opinion, a discussion with a subject such as "EJB is better than 
Hibernate" is completely meaningless... The right tool always depends on 
the job, and the right tool for every imaginable job was just not yet 
invented.  :-)
The answer to your last question IMHO is: yes, you can, if the web layer 
is the only thing accessing your beans. But the subject of security is 
much more complicated in a real-life application than "what framework do 
I need to best implement it?"


You're welcome,
Radu

Spring takes care of all this (http://springframework.org) without the overhead

Acegi is one aspect closely tied to spring that takes care of security 
declaratively.

I took one look at ejbs and ran a mile.

Struts and EJBs seem to be at the opposite end of a scale.
Struts is sensible, nice to work with, efficient, and generally everything
that EJBs arnt!

I personally use it with OJB (made that decision 1.5 yrs ago).  Hibernate
seems to be more popular, and if i was to make the decision now, i'd
probably go with hibernate.  I'm sticking with OJB in the systems i have
because refactoring the whole lot would be such a chore, and OJB works fine
(though i have had to deal with some really annoying intermittent bugs).

[To sum it up] Re: Confused

Hello Pierre,



Struts is "just" too big a project to stay among its siblings under the 
Jakarta general project, which is why it is "on its own".


I have just installed Tomcat 5 for Java WSDP. Do I need this version  to 
make Struts development or can I use the regular 5.5 version too?  I 
have installed both.


If you use JBoss, there is an embedded version of Tomcat 5 with it. You 
don't need anything else.


Also, I would like to know how can I have access to J2EE? I am on Mac  
OS 10.4 and as I know I need JBoss to have access to J2EE. 


If you use JBoss to do your work, that's fine : it works great. Just 
don't forget to put your webapp in the 
$JBOSS_DIR/server/{default,minimal,all}/deploy directory (either as a 
WAR archive, or as a yourapp.war directory).

For instance, I use the "default" server, that leads to a path like :

C:\jboss\jboss-4.0.1\server\default\deploy\my_webapp.war

(I am currently using MS-Windows for my devs)

I have  
installed JBoss on my machine too. But I don't understand how can I  use 
Tomcat, JBoss and Struts altogether. Can you help me?


Struts is a collection of Java packages that you must embed with your 
web application.


You must understand how a J2EE application is built (which is a bit 
beyond the scope of this mailing list, I think). Basically, this means 
your application will have the following structure :


+---WEB-INF
|  +-classes
|  +-lib
|
|
+---META-INF

WEB-INF contains configuration files (such as web.xml, and 
struts-config.xml), definition files (for instance the taglib definition 
files), etc. ; its subdirectories contain the various compiled classes 
(the "classes" directory ;-) ), and the various packages you hava to 
embed with your application (for instance, struts.jar ;-) ).


Anyway, this little presentation is far from complete, and I suggest you 
read some doc about J2EE applications before going further with struts 
(java.sun.com is a good start).

No,
J2EE is a NOT EJBS!
J2EE is a collection of technologies, including servlets, jsp, EJBs, etc.

Tomcat hosts various parts of J2EE - servlets, jsps, etc, but it is not a
full J2EE container - it doesnt host EJBs. But you can use servlets, JSP and
taglibs without using EJBs. I do. I've never used an EJB.

Yes, I want to use Beans.

Do you mean that I can use servlets, JSP and taglibs without J2EE?

I think you might be confused about what "J2EE" is. If you need  
EJBs, then yeah, JBoss would be one way to go. If you don't,  
there's a lot of other parts of J2EE, like servlets, JSP, taglibs,

You can look at section 6 [this might help]:

As for JBoss... the last time I used it (can't exactly remember

JBoss has a version that is already bundled with Tomcat.

Hello,

I am new to Struts and I am a bit confused. I would like some light.

I have just installed Tomcat 5 for Java WSDP. Do I need this version 
to make Struts development or can I use the regular 5.5 version too? 
I have installed both.

I also saw that Struts is listed in the Ex-Jakarta section of the 
Jakarta web site. Is this mean that Struts is now replaced by Tapestry?

Also, I would like to know how can I have access to J2EE? I am on Mac 
OS 10.4 and as I know I need JBoss to have access to J2EE. I have 
installed JBoss on my machine too. But I don't understand how can I 
use Tomcat, JBoss and Struts altogether. Can you help me?

Regards.

Re: Confused about ActionMessages

[Erik Weber]

Thank you Geeta, I will give this a try.
If anyone could shed some light on exactly what these tags are doing 
under the covers (especially what attribute keys are used by default, 
how to change those, when should you, etc.), I would appreciate it. 
Otherwise, I guess I'll get into the source when I have time.

Subject: Confused about ActionMessages
Hello all.
I have successfully used ActionErrors in combination with the 
html:errors tag, by adding errors under various keys and then simply 
placing the  tag at the top of my JSP.

However, the ActionMessages class doesn't seem to act in 
parallel to the 
ActionErrors class, and neither does the html:messages tag 
seem to act 
just like the html:errors tag (for one, it has a required 
attribute that 
the docs don't explain very well). And I sure don't 
understand all these 
constants (GLOBAL_ERROR, ERROR_KEY, MESSAGE, ACTION_MESSAGE, etc). 
What's for what?

Could someone please give me a quick and dirty example of using 
ActionMessages to present a "Your data was saved" or similar 
message on 
the "success" page after a form action is processed?

In other words, could you show me how you are populating the 
ActionMessages instance in your Action class, and then how you are 
displaying the messages on your JSP?

You'll really be helping me out as I'm trying to show my client some 
working pages soon! (I don't wanna cheat if I don't have to).

Thanks,
Erik

RE: Confused about ActionMessages

[Geeta Ramani]

Erik: Here's an example:

In your Action class do:
try {
service.insertEmployee( employeeDTO );
ActionMessages messages = new ActionMessages();
ActionMessage message = new 
ActionMessage("message.employee.insert.success",employeeDTO.getName() );
messages.add( ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE, message );
saveMessages( request, messages );
request.setAttribute("employee",employeeDTO);
return (mapping.findForward("success"));
}
catch( DatabaseException de ) {
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
ActionError error = new ActionError("error.employee.databaseException");
errors.add( ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, error );
saveErrors( request, errors );
return (mapping.findForward("error"));
}

In your success.jsp:
