Re: To .action or not to .action.

We've been posting our URLs that way (sans .action) for a while now and we love it. Please don't make it go away. :) -B d...@holstein.com

Re: [S2] possible bug in 2.1.6 w/ action chaining

Because Showcase is so packed with goodies something else may be causing chaining to actually work. If you try that test case standalone (after modifying the POM XML for 2.1.6) chaining doesn't work (the value stays the initial value). -B

Re: [S2] possible bug in 2.1.6 w/ action chaining

I forgot to mention that we're setting the test value in struts.xml initially (in the first action in the chain). That's the value that doesn't get modified in this test case. -B Musachy Barroso

Re: What's the best alternative after Struts2 Dojo PlugIn deprecate?

We've been using GWT and Musachy's Struts 2 GWT plugin, and other than a few gotchas it works well. It hasn't been updated in a looong time though (hint hint - got a couple of open bugs :) ). GWT has met all of our expectations and, for Java developers, is far easier to work with than Dojo. -B

Thanks, bug WW-2970 was submitted along with a test case. -B Musachy Barroso musa...@gmail.co

Re: [S2] possible bug in 2.1.6 w/ action chaining

I'm guilty of pawning this task off to someone else. I'll have him take a look at showcase and our example and get back to the group. Thanks for checking this out so quickly. Maybe it's us. :) -B Musachy

Re: What's the best alternative after Struts2 Dojo PlugIn deprecate?

We use Eclipse, but there's no IDE setup necessary and no special IDE plugins. The beauty of GWT is it's all Java, so you just drop in the GWT JARs and start using the APIs. Naturally there's a bit of a learning curve to understand the server-side components, how GWT handles asynchronous calls

Re: [S2] possible bug in 2.1.6 w/ action chaining

Hadn't heard back from anyone about this. I'll go ahead and file a bug report. No one is using action chaining with 2.1.6? Thanks, -B Becky.L.O'Sulliva

[S2] possible bug in 2.1.6 w/ action chaining

Hi group, We're trying to upgrade from 2.1.2 to 2.1.6 and ran into an issue. We use action chaining because it suits a particular requirement we had for this application. However, after upgrading, we're seeing that the value stack isn't holding on to values set by actions further up in the

RE: [S2] solution - Action chaining and validation problem

The culprit wasn't the validation interceptor, but the workflow interceptor. Its only job is to stop the chain (and call input on everything) when validation errors occur. I removed it entirely and everything is working as we need it to. This worked for us because, regardless of errors, we need

[S2] Action chaining and validation problem

Without going into a lot of detail, suffice to say our application benefits from action chaning, and we are using it in the documented way. We've begun to go through and add the validation to some actions, but we have run into a snag with validation and action chaining. Whenever one action in

RE: [S2] Action chaining and validation problem

We actually have no validation XML files (we're setting error fields manually). We're not performing validation using that approach, but we want to remain open to doing so in the future. The validation interceptor is in the struts-default stack, which is what our packages extend from. From

RE: [S2] Action chaining and validation problem

I'm referencing defaultStack. Can I simply pass that parameter to the default stack and the validator interceptor will pick it up? We don't actually use xml-based validation. We set action errors on our own. Do you think it'll still work even though that interceptor is specifically for xml

Re: couldn't access s:include param using #parameters

Unfortunately you can't use JSTL in Struts 2 tags anymore. I got around this by using JSTL to set the parameter into page scope: c:set var=paramName value=${param.paramName}/ Once it's in page scope #attr will find it: s:if test=#attr.paramName == 'someStringValue'found it!/s:if -B

Re: More OGNL Woes

I had the same problem, and someone pointed out to me that it does say in the s:include reference page (http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/include.html) that parameters passedvia s:include are not available on the stack. Well...it doesn't phrase it that way, but that's basically it. Yes, it's

S2: struts.xml includes not actually loaded in order?

Hi everyone, Our struts.xml file is getting beastly, so I attempted to break it down into multiple files. I read this page: http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/can-we-break-up-a-large-strutsxml-file-into-smaller-pieces.html Specifically: You can use include elements in your struts.xml

Re: S2: s:include tag and s:param

Yes you can access them via JSTL, like Dave mentioned (using ${param.xx} ), but not via OGNL. If you want to access those params via OGNL use JSTL to set them into the page scope, then use #attr to get them. I hate JSTL's choose/otherwise tags, and prefer struts if/else tags, so I use this a lot

Re: [S2] Unable to access passed parameters in an included file

Thanks for the catch Dave. Isn't it funny that they provide two examples of parameter passing in [1]? Don't expect to be able to access those using struts tags within the included file, ha! I (hacked | worked around | fixed) it by using JSTL c:set to place those params into the page context (and

[S2] Unable to access passed parameters in an included file

Hi everyone, I'm using s:include to include a page fragment in Struts 2.1.2. (also tried with jsp:include and the result did not change) Ensuring the values are passed as Strings using OGNL syntax: s:include value=/support/templates/header.jsp s:param name=pageTitle value=%{'Portal

Re: S2: /action/* - is it possible?

It's possible - we're doing it: (Struts.xml) constant name=struts.enable.SlashesInActionNames value=true / ... action name=web** class=... ... /action We also noticed Struts accepts web.action or just web, so our URLs look like this http://ourdomain.com/web/path/to/an/xml/file -- web action
