http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23467 Indexed check-box HTML tags fail because attempts are made to find the check-box beans without their indices. Summary: Indexed check-box HTML tags fail because attempts are made to find the check-box beans without their indices. Product: Struts Version: 1.1RC2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Custom Tags AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi. I have been unable to use an indexed collection of check-box HTML tags without making a small change to the source code of org.apache.struts.taglib.html.CheckboxTag. Here is an excerpt from my HTML: <logic:iterate id="serviceRequestStatus" name="serviceRequestStatusMaintenanceForm" property="allExistingServiceRequestStatusParameterContainers" type="aquatron.ejb.serviceRequestStatus.ServiceRequestStatusParameterContainer" scope="session" > <tr> <td> <html:checkbox name="serviceRequestStatusMaintenanceForm" property="canFollowServiceRequestsInWhichStatuses" indexed="true"/> </td> <td> <bean:write name="serviceRequestStatus" property="description"/> </td> </tr> </logic:iterate> And here are some pertinent excerpts from my Struts configuration: <form-beans> <form-bean name="serviceRequestStatusMaintenanceForm" type="aquatron.struts.StrutsFormServiceRequestStatusMaintenance" > </form-bean> </form-beans> ... And among the action mappings: <action path="/serviceRequestStatusCreation" input="/JSPs/ServiceRequestStatusCreation.jsp" name="serviceRequestStatusMaintenanceForm" scope="session" type="aquatron.struts.StrutsActionServiceRequestStatusCreation" validate="false" > <forward name="serviceRequestStatusCreation" path="/JSPs/ServiceRequestStatusCreation.jsp"/> <forward name="initializeServiceRequestStatusMaintenance" path="/serviceRequestStatusMaintenance.struts"/> </action> The Struts form class aquatron.struts.StrutsFormServiceRequestStatusMaintenance uses a java.util.List (concrete implementation Vector) as the container for the collection of check-box values. The accessor for the individual check-box values has the signature public final boolean getCanFollowServiceRequestsInWhichStatuses(int theIndex) and this retrieves the appropriate check-box value from the collection. The mutator has the signature public final void setCanFollowServiceRequestsInWhichStatuses(int theIndex, boolean theAnswer). I had to make a change to the doStartTag() method of org.apache.struts.taglib.html.CheckboxTag to get the HTML to be successfully rendered. This was because the existing code generates a tag starting with something like <input type="checkbox" name="<Struts form name>[0].<property name>"... in the string buffer that it later uses for generating the tag, then, in order to determine whether or not the check-box is checked, it calls the org.apache.struts.util.ResponseUtils method lookup(PageContext, String, String, String) passing as the second parameter the Struts form and the third parameter the name of the indexed check-box property but without including the "[<index>]" suffix. Of course, the reflection attempt cannot find the correct method because it is looking for a simple bean rather than an indexed bean. The CheckboxTag doStartTag() method looked like this before I changed it: /** * Generate the required input tag. * <p> * Support for indexed property since Struts 1.1 * * @exception JspException if a JSP exception has occurred */ public int doStartTag() throws JspException { // Create an appropriate "input" element based on our parameters StringBuffer results = new StringBuffer("<input type=\"checkbox\""); results.append(" name=\""); // * @since Struts 1.1 if( indexed ) prepareIndex( results, name ); results.append(this.property); results.append("\""); if (accesskey != null) { results.append(" accesskey=\""); results.append(accesskey); results.append("\""); } if (tabindex != null) { results.append(" tabindex=\""); results.append(tabindex); results.append("\""); } results.append(" value=\""); if (value == null) results.append("on"); else results.append(value); results.append("\""); Object result = RequestUtils.lookup(pageContext, name, property, null); if (result == null) result = ""; if (!(result instanceof String)) result = result.toString(); String checked = (String) result; if (checked.equalsIgnoreCase(value) || checked.equalsIgnoreCase("true") || checked.equalsIgnoreCase("yes") || checked.equalsIgnoreCase("on")) results.append(" checked=\"checked\""); results.append(prepareEventHandlers()); results.append(prepareStyles()); results.append(getElementClose()); // Print this field to our output writer ResponseUtils.write(pageContext, results.toString()); // Continue processing this page this.text = null; return (EVAL_BODY_TAG); } When I changed the method like this my application started working: /** * Generate the required input tag. * <p> * Support for indexed property since Struts 1.1 * * @exception JspException if a JSP exception has occurred */ public int doStartTag() throws JspException { StringBuffer thePropertyIncludingIndexStringBuffer; String thePropertyIncludingIndex; // Create an appropriate "input" element based on our parameters StringBuffer results = new StringBuffer("<input type=\"checkbox\""); thePropertyIncludingIndex = null; if (property != null) { // Build up the name of the property including its index if // an index is necessary. thePropertyIncludingIndexStringBuffer = new StringBuffer(getProperty()); if(getIndexed()){ prepareIndex(thePropertyIncludingIndexStringBuffer, null ); } // end if() thePropertyIncludingIndex = thePropertyIncludingIndexStringBuffer .toString(); results.append(" name=\""); results.append(thePropertyIncludingIndex); results.append("\""); } if (accesskey != null) { results.append(" accesskey=\""); results.append(accesskey); results.append("\""); } if (tabindex != null) { results.append(" tabindex=\""); results.append(tabindex); results.append("\""); } results.append(" value=\""); if (value == null) results.append("on"); else results.append(value); results.append("\""); Object result = null; if(getProperty() != null){ result = RequestUtils .lookup(pageContext, name, thePropertyIncludingIndex, null); } // end if() if (result == null) result = ""; if (!(result instanceof String)) result = result.toString(); String checked = (String) result; if (checked.equalsIgnoreCase(value) || checked.equalsIgnoreCase("true") || checked.equalsIgnoreCase("yes") || checked.equalsIgnoreCase("on")) results.append(" checked=\"checked\""); results.append(prepareEventHandlers()); results.append(prepareStyles()); results.append(getElementClose()); // Print this field to our output writer ResponseUtils.write(pageContext, results.toString()); // Continue processing this page this.text = null; return (EVAL_BODY_TAG); } Regards, Norman Denton. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
