Dojo taglib?

2008-05-13T10:58:22Z

Reading http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/ajax-tags.html, this claims
(reasonably) that I must add <%@ taglib prefix="sx" uri="/struts-dojo-tags"
%> in order to use the sx ajax tags. but it appears that the
/struts-dojo-tags uri is not available to me. Eclipse doesn't see it, and I
don't see such a tld in the struts distribution. I have included struts in
my project through maven with the dependency:

<dependency>

<groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>

<artifactId>struts2-core</artifactId>

<version>2.0.11</version>

</dependency>

Downloading the struts-2.0.11.1-all.zip package directly from the struts
site also does not seem to [obviously, at least] include such a tld. Is the
documentation incorrect or do I misunderstand something?

Re: struts2 access session Id

I had the same idea when i mentioned Servlet Config Interceptor below but I
just thought there is an easier way.
Anyway thanks for reply and it looks like i need to do just like that.

JFreeChart plugin

2008-05-13T10:41:57Z

Hello,
Has anyone tried out JFreeChart plugin? I am trying to run the sample code
available on plugin documentation page. I see all ASCII characters getting
printed on my browser screen instead of an image file.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Leena.

Sounds like *something* is applying a text-transform to the text. When
you view source, what stylesheets do you see referenced? Are there any
<style> blocks, or inline styles in the markup? You might try using the
Web Developer or Firebug extensions for Firefox to examine the DOM and
determine what styles are really being applied to that element of some
additional insight into what's going on.

I'm not sure what you want to achieve. If you just want to localize the
page, you can do so using the I18N facilities provided by Struts. If you
actually need to render a different JSP per locale for some reason, it
will be more involved. Either way, the specifics depend on which version
of Struts you are using.

Try posting more details of exactly what it is you need to do, and what
environment you are working in (Struts version, etc.).

ActionContext.getSession() gives you access to the session scope
attributes, not the session itself. To get to the actual session object,
obtain the HttpServletRequest object [1] and get the session from there:

HttpServletRequest request = ...; // use ActionContext or
ServletRequuestAware

HttpSession session = request.getSession();
String sessionId = session.getId();

Where is the exception thrown? During the first request before the
redirect is sent? Or during the request resulting from the redirect? Is
there any Ajax involved in handling the redirect? Assuming the exception
happens in the redirected request and there's no Ajax, I'd suggest using
LiveHeaders or Firebug in Firefox to examine the headers/body of the
failing request to see if there's something quirky there.

Tag Data Rendering Issue

2008-05-13T09:35:36Z

When using <s:actionerror > tag, the first character of error message is
automatically getting converted to upper case. I haven't set any
"text-transform" property in my CSS.

If I do "View Source", I see proper text but on JSP its behaving weirdly.

My CSS:
.errorMessage {
color: red;
font: 10px verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

In "View Source"
<ul>
<li><span class="errorMessage">Please enter User Id</span></li>
</ul>

But on JSP, it is displayed as
Please Enter User Id

I have included struts.properties in my project classpath and have set *
struts.ui.theme=simple*

What could be the reason of this behaviour?

Why add a custom lifecycle method? Why not just let sub-classes
implement Preparable?

By implementing Preparable that logic would go in either prepare() or
prepareInput() (where 'input' is the name of the method on the action
that is called to display the form).

If there are validation errors, Struts will forward control to the
action result mapped as 'input'. You can either arrange for the
drop-down list data to be loaded before validation fires (e.g. using
Preparable.prepare()) or, if you don't want to perform that load during
a successful form submit, you can do it as part of the 'input' result
processing.

If a validation error occurs, Struts will not call the action method for
handling the form submit so no, you can't rely on a method being called
from there in this case.

> So, here are my questions:

Not necessarily a bad idea, but not necessarily optimal. For example,
since your actions would all be dependent on super.execute() being
invoked, it may make it messy to target other methods on the action
(e.g. calling action.input() to setup and display a form and
action.execute() to process it on submit).

> 2. What is the recommended way to repopulate drop-down selects after a

Take a look at the Preparable interface and the 'prepare' interceptor
for one approach. Another may be to use the 'action-chain' result type
for your action's 'input' result mapping, and keep the data retrieval in
the chained action.

I recommend taking a look at some of the example applications (e.g.
Mailo Reader and Showcase) to see how this has been handled elsewhere.

Hi,
regarding multiple submit buttons for the same form, if I have <s:form ...> with

button calls that method. But, how can I define another submit button that will call

No, I cannot do this, because both forms need to work with the same objects in
a action class. First form works with some header data, and the second with list
of data and show table also of such data.
I asked this, because I wasn't sure if both forms would call the same instance of
action class.

I have to admit that in your first instance I would cheat -- I would dummy
up a method somewhere on my action class or my POJO that returned the
desired string, rather than trying to compose the string within the JSP.

I am unfamiliar with the various tags that can be used to display chunks of
a table. I know they're out there (the display tag library comes to mind).
The most recent time I had to do this I rolled my own; it was pretty
painless. I held the data in a List of data objects, and then used
List.subList() in my action method to determine the precise chunk of the
List that I wanted to show.

Hope this helps.

2008-05-13T07:25:57Z

Hi,

I'm facing a problem when I'm using a Struts form with client validation on a jsp page which is remotely fetch from a <sx:div>. This div is a tabpanel inside a <s:tabbedpanel> tabcontainer. When the form is submitted the following error displays inside the sx:div: 'ReferenceError: validateForm_saveProducer is not defined' (Firefox). The code is displayed below (Struts 2.1.2):

-- editProducer.jsp --

<s:form action="saveProducer" validate="true">
<s:hidden name="producer.producerId" />
<s:textfield key="producer.name" name="producer.name" />
...

<sx:submit value="%{getText('button.save')}" targets="producerTab" />
</s:form>

-- mainPage.jsp with tabbedpanel --

<sx:tabbedpanel id="mainTabMenu">
<s:url id="editProducer" action="editProducer" includeParams="none"/>
<sx:div id="producerTab" href="%{editProducer}" />
</sx:tabbedpanel>

It looks like the validation script is not included when the jsp page is fetched remotely from the struts div tag. The problem occurs on both Struts version 2.0.11.1 and 2.1.2. Adding the executeScripts="true" and separateScripts="true" to the sx:div also has no effect. Any ideas!?

Re: [struts 2] Table question

2008-05-13T06:34:58Z

I have to admit that in your first instance I would cheat -- I would dummy
up a method somewhere on my action class or my POJO that returned the
desired string, rather than trying to compose the string within the JSP.

I am unfamiliar with the various tags that can be used to display chunks of
a table. I know they're out there (the display tag library comes to mind).
The most recent time I had to do this I rolled my own; it was pretty
painless. I held the data in a List of data objects, and then used
List.subList() in my action method to determine the precise chunk of the
List that I wanted to show.

Hope this helps.

[struts 2] Table question

2008-05-13T06:30:38Z

Hi,
first I'll ask again my earlier question, is there possibility to show in a combo box
two values, for example I want to show id and name of the every fruit: 1 Apple ?
The second question is, my struts 2 application on one jsp page will have 5 combo
boxes, 4 text boxes, two buttons and two datetime pickers, and below all these controls a table
that will show what is entered using controls above. The problem is that my table will have
about 100-120 records (rows) to show, and I think that is very much for one jsp page, and
also I want user to see about last 10 rows, because he need to see if there is any error.
How can I do this, can I use table pagination (how) ?

Thx in advance, Milan Milanovic

Re: redirect after logging in

Hi,

Check out the login-interceptor in Mail-Reader application given on Planet
Struts. I found it useful. I think you are also looking for the same.
http://www.planetstruts.org/struts2-mailreader/Tour.do

(The application may be down sometimes, you can refer to cached pages in
Google search for the same.)

Re: Setting HTML form parameters to Custom classes (not action support)

2008-05-13T05:01:50Z

I would handle this by creating an ordinary Java class for the page, and
then having the following fields:

public class MyAction {
C1 a;
C2 b;
C3 c;

//...
}

...and make sure I had a public getA() and setA(), getB() and setB(), and so
on.

If you need to preset values for a, b, and c, one option is to have MyAction
implement Preparable, and put the pre-population in the prepare() method
that it requires.

Struts2 & Tiles2

2008-05-13T04:47:56Z

Hallo,

I'm new to struts so this may be a simple question for experts...

I started developing a classical webapp: Header and Menu on top, navigation on the left side and details on the right side. When the user selects an item in the navigation, the detail is displayed on the right side.

Depending on the detail, the user now can navigate and open the edit dialog for the detail. The edit dialog should replace the detail. The user press the save or cancel button on the edit dialog an show be redirected to the detail again.
Depending on the detail and the user action, the header, menu and / or navigation can change.

I want to only relaod the parts of the page that need to be changed maybe using AJAX.

So far I use Struts 2.1.2 and Tiles 2.0.5.
But I could not find out how to "fill" tiles-definition with the action and parameters from the navigation
How can I do this?

What is best practise for my problem?
How do you solve this?

Thanks for your help!

File upload issue

2008-05-13T01:36:50Z

I¹m getting an error after uploading a file. Which manifests itself in my
redirect action.

I¹m using a simple post redirect pattern, where the file upload action
redirects to a separate fileList action.

After successfully uploading the file the browser is redirected to the
appropriate action, but Tomcat throws a
³ the request was rejected because its size is unknown ³ exception. If I
call the offending action from the browser it works fine.

Here¹s the relevant snippet from my struts.xml file:

<action name="uploadFile" class="uploadFile">
<result name="input">/WEB-INF/cms/formFile.jsp</result>
<result name="success" type="redirect-action">
<param name="actionName">getFile</param>
<param name="namespace">/cms</param>
</result>
</action>

Any ideas would be appreciated.

It's not a limitation, it's a bug :-)
https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/TILES-232

Try using the SVN version of Tiles (branch: TILES_2_0_X):
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tiles/framework/branches/TILES_2_0_X/
Or you can use the 2.0.6 snapshots:

2008-05-12T22:21:34Z

Team,

any help??? now i configured the validation, workflow interceptors in my xml file. I see an error for this field variable.

< actionclass>-conversion.properties:
mapOfList=com.company.CustomMapConverter

Key_mapOfList=java.lang.string

I see a weird behavior: only the convertToString() function being called...

Setting HTML form parameters to Custom classes (not action support)

2008-05-12T22:16:16Z

hi,

we have multiple classes (C1,C2,C3) each as java beans. now i have a form as:
<s:form...>
<s:textfield name="a.field1" ../>
<s:textfield name="b.field1" ../>
<s:textfield name="c.field1" ../>

is it possible for me to populate the individual classes? The problem is that we need to build a framework in struts2 and it requires the above to happen.

After googling a lot... i found that that the current ActionSupport class is kept in ognl value stack which is later filled. If this is true then can we push the C1's object as a, C2's object as b etc into value stack???

Also, ModelInterceptor... would also push the object to the value stack. But my problem is that i need all the 3 objects into the stack...

please correct me if i am wrong... any help would be great...

cheers,
ravi

According to the Servlet specification, if you don't specify this
session timeout will be set to the container's default (which will be
server dependent).

Without even knowing what the exception was there's no way to guess.
You'd probably be better off trying to diagnose why the exception occurs
in the first place, rather than ask why it goes away.

Unit Test Validation Logic in Struts2

2008-05-12T16:35:41Z

Hi,

I am having trouble with unit testing my validation logic in Struts2.

here's the code.

1) In UserLookupAction-validation.xml I have
<field name="memberId">
<field-validator type="requiredstring">
<message>You must enter a value for ${getText("memberId.label")}.</message>
</field-validator>
</field>

2) In UserLookupActionTest.java I have the following method

public void setUp() throws Exception {
super.setUp();
ObjectFactory.setObjectFactory( new ObjectFactory() );
}

public void testValidationFailed() throws ValidationException {
ActionValidatorManager avm = ActionValidatorManagerFactory.getInstance();
UserLookupAction action = new UserLookupAction();
action.setSession(sessionMap);
action.setMemberId(null);

avm.validate(action,"UserLookupAction");
Map fieldErrors = action.getFieldErrors();
assertTrue(action.hasErrors());
}

3) UserLookupActionTest extends from TestCase and not from StrutsTestCase but I think I am doing ObjectFactory.setObjectFactory( new ObjectFactory() ); as an alternative to that so it should not cause a problem.

When I run the test testValidationFailed, the ActionValidatorManager gets initialized but it has no properties. Afterwards, when I call validate method, it executes but then fieldErrors map is empty and the action.hasErrors() returns null so the assertion fails. Can someone tell me what is wrong here? Any help would be appreciated. This validation logic seems to work when I run the app.

Thanks
Pranav
