passing parameters

simple question, (i hope!) if i set a property for an action in struts-config.xml like this: how could i then retrieve the value of "needsLogin" from an Action class? thanks! --e-- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For

best practices for logging in

what is the general "accepted practice" for handling logins and securing access with struts? from a review of the archive, it seems that way *not* to do it is to use a "isLoggedIn" flag that gets passed from page to page. and, that the canonical approach is to utilize Action.perform(...) to d

general Base Action class question

i'm building a test application with struts in order to learn it better. out of curiosity, i was wondering what sort of useful functionality people are building into a Base Action class (i.e. a super class for all actions), and how (in general) they are using them to fulfill specific business

Re: EJB = bad = MS.net

"location independence" means independent of location, that is all. if you're implementing two interfaces to do (more or less) the exact same thing, and one is called "local" and one is called "remote" that is absolutely *not*, by any stretch of the imagination, "location independent". _end

yes, i guess you're right. it never existed in the first place. On Thu, 21 Feb 2002 18:52:43 +0200, Maris Orbidans wrote: > >It's simply because EJB 2.0 has local interfaces (1.1 doesnt) , not that >"claim to location independence is eroding". > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail:

Re: EJB = bad = MS.net

i like EJBs (note that i said "like" and not "love"). i think they have some applicability. however, a peeve of mine about EJBs and the spec is this claim of "location independence." furthermore, the claim to location independence is eroding: note that in the 1.1 spec it claims: "The cl

RE: EJB = bad = MS.net

i believe that if you are using jboss as an app-server, you can shut off the ejb service and still have security and transaction management (not to mention, jndi, web application support, mail services, logging services, etc. etc.). my .2 added to your .2 --e-- On Wed, 20 Feb 2002 09:56:10

i have a rather simple problem (i think!) . . . given an actionmapping like this: stored in a .war file named ContentDB.war how would i access that through a web browser after deploy? (when deployed to JBoss-2.4.3_Jetty-3.1.1-1). i've tried these urls: http://local

i believe that you could subclass ActionServlet and implement the processPreprocess method. this is called before processActionForm and processPopulate. On Fri, 7 Dec 2001 13:08:10 -0800 (PST), Jon Wall wrote: . . . >having a problem with the Save action. The issue is >that I need to retrieve

although i wasn't using struts, i've gotten this to work with no such effort at all (using servlets and jetty, not to mention perl/cgi etc.). basically, i defined a path for a servlet in web.xml, and anything after that path, the server placed in pathinfo. i can provide examples if anyone would

Re: Action an overkill ??

i was a little confused about your original post on this subject, but then your followup seemed to confuse me more. your original post on this subject seems to imply there is an additional layer, distinct from the Action, where business logic should reside. then, your follow up seems to confirm

RE: Action an overkill ??

what if the client doesn't support javascript? what if the ordering is significant, and the client has javascript turned off? basically, it's a design question that gets answered during that phase of development. having it done in the business layer ensures that it's always done and done in th
