Re: Sending Binary Files from Action

[Niall Pemberton]

Rather than answer you here, I've created a page on the wiki with
examples...

http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsFileDownload

I haven't actually used DownloadAction myself - but I am doing the same sort
of thing in my application.

Re: Whats in Version 1.2.6?

Just a question on LazyDynaForm. I'm already sold on the benefits for
JSP folf to be able to knock out JSPs before ActionForms are written.
But how does the LazyDynaForm perform? When I experimented with
implementing MutableDynaClass few years ago I found it heavy going
(this was with java 1.3 however).

Like I said I already see the benefits from a development point of
view, and even that LazyDynaForm is better that no action forms at all
(stuffing model tier objects in and such like). But I'm wondering
whether you've any live apps using LazyDynaForm.

Re: Sending Binary Files from Action

[Dakota Jack]

Hello, Niall,

Nice addition.  Let me suggest that you indicate how to apply the
content-disposition header with filename.  That is where my knowledge
runs out at this time.  The difference in the JSP page between inline
and attachment is what has me puzzled.  I could just try various
options and see what happens, but I like to understand these things.

Is the idea that where the header is inline the same browser page will
display the file whereas with attachment the brownser will keep the
same page and ask where you would like to store the downloaded file? 
Thanks.

Jack

Re: Whats in Version 1.2.6?

[Niall Pemberton]

Good question, I do have live apps running with it, but performance isn't an
issue for me, its an internal app and I don't have zillions of users and my
boss just bought me a new big mother of a server (I kicked up a fuss after
he bought one for some app from the Evil Empire he was implementing)

The regular DynaActionForm's cache their DynaClass, so I guess if it was an
issue it might be worth doing something similar. I have a persistence
framework that spits out LazyDynaBeans - and it does just that - it generate
a LazyDynaClass for each table/query, caches it and re-uses it each time. It
would be fairly straight forward to do for Lazy ActionForms, just need to
extend FormBeanConfig and implement something in the createActionForm()
method. Hey how about this for an idea - just have one big mega
LazyDynaClass that has every request parameter in your system in - just need
to synch the bit that adds new properties if it doesn't exist!

Anyway, I've managed to babble on long enough without answering your
question :-(

Re: Sending Binary Files from Action

[Richard]

Hi Niall,

Thank you very much. The thing is I have found a sample application
that uses the DownloadAction. Discussion is at
http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@struts.apache.org/msg04600.html while
the source codes are at http://www.omnytex.com/downloadapp.zip.

I think I have a working version now and will stick to it. Again thank
you very much.

Thanks for the input David.
It sounds like this must be the reason.  I am running Xp with Tomcat 5.0.27

I run Tomcat as a service - how do I find out (or set up) the permissions?

RE: server shutdown

[Simon Matic Langford]

right click on the service in services and go to properties.

go to the Logon tab, and there you can change the log on.

I don't know what user you'll need to run as, but if this is
a public server then an administrator is probably none too

RE: server shutdown

[andy wix]

Hi,
I have now set up the Tomcat service to run as administrator (temporarily) 
but this doesn't resolve the problem.
I am now only trying to run notepad from the exec command:

Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = runtime.exec("C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\notepad.exe");
This code works fine from a stand-alone program but not from Tomcat.
Could there be some security issue with the Tomcat security permissions?
Thanks,
Andy

RE: server shutdown

[Paul McCulloch]

I'd start by getting things working running tomcat *not* as a service. Once
that is done switch to using a service. 

If you look at the service Log On control panel you'll see a "Allow service
to interact with desktop" checkbox. This will need to be set for you to see
a program running on your desktop. That option can only be set for the local
system user - not adminsitartor.

Why does a Form Bean declared as session-scope appear on both session and request?

[Daffin, Miles (Company IT)]

Hi All,
 
If I declare my bean scope="session" (struts-config.xml) the same
instance of it turns up on both the request and the session:
 
Session key: 
Request key: org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN
 
If I then change the declaration to scope="request" the same bean turns
up twice on the request, under the key
org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN and 
 keys. 
 
What's going in here?
 
Thanks.

RE: Why does a Form Bean declared as session-scope appear on both session and request?

[Paul McCulloch]

The attribute in org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN is set by the
 tag. This is how the other  tags know which form bean
they are dealing with.

I'd be interested to know why the other html tags are made aware of the form
bean this way, rather than directly asking their enclosing form tag. Any
ideas anyone? The only thing I can think of is that it means that
dynamically included pages can still use the html tags to reference the
parent page's form.

RE: server shutdown

[Paul McCulloch]

I wasn't aware that Tomcat had any functionality related to running external
programs. I can tell you that I have successfully called external programs
(our own win32 commandline exes) from Tomcat and JBoss/Tomcat (using
Runtime.getRuntime().exec() as you do).

I think that, unfortunatly, it's down to your code or environment. I'd start
simple  - a command line program that writes something to a file - and build
up to your goal from there.

Applicaton-specific logging in Struts

[Nicholas Hemley]

Hello,

I have implemented a plugin to configure the logging for my application
but my application debug log is getting swamped by the struts debug
logging.

As I understand it, struts uses the common logging based on log4j but I
cannot find an example of how to separate struts logging from
application logging.

Essentially, what I would like to do is configure the logging so that
classes in my packages go to a different file!

Any help would be appreciated for this [not so major] problem...

Cheerio,
Nic.

Re: JSP Code for DownloadAction

[Dakota Jack]

Hi, Frank,

Yes and no.  Yes, because I can put your whole example together and
watch what happens and figure it out from there.  And, no because I
would like to understand it so that I can do my own.

What I don't understand is how the file download works in relation to
the GUI.  Where does the GUI go and why?  If I don't know this, I
cannot do my own apps that don't mimic yours.  I do know that there
are two content-disposition possibilities: inline and attachment.

My biggest problem is seeing what page the client goes to after making
a request for a download.  Does the client always stay on the same
page?  Why?  This is not normal, I think, since  and  usually
take us to a target location.  What is the scoop on that?  Thanks.

Jack

Re: JSP Code for DownloadAction

[Andrew Hill]

The  tag would _normally_ take you to a target location, but with 
file download what usually happens is that the browser realises its a 
file and either prompts you to choose somewhere to open it, or tries to 
display it in the browser page (internet explod^Hrer will tend to try 
this if it thinks it recognises the file content type!).

In the second case you navigate to the file, in the first the file gets 
saved somewhere on your local drive or opened with an external 
application and your page remains where it is.

If you chose to download the file 'in a new window' or new tab from the 
context menu of the borwser you get an empty new window or tab usually. 
(Sometimes the browser is smart enough to shut it for you and given IEs 
predilection for inline display I tend to make my file anchors target 
_new as a matter of course...)

Re: Applicaton-specific logging in Struts

[Duncan Mills]

It's also worth checking out Chainsaw as a Log4J viewer - It has 
filtering capabilities that will probably work just as well for you as 
separate log files

The settings would be (for instance)
# log4j.properties  in  /WEB-INF/classes
log4j.rootLogger=ERROR, Chainsaw
log4j.appender.Chainsaw=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender
log4j.appender.Chainsaw.remoteHost=127.0.0.1
log4j.appender.Chainsaw.port=4560
log4j.logger.your.package=DEBUG
You can get chainsaw at http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/chainsaw.html

Re: JSP Code for DownloadAction

[Frank W. Zammetti]

What he said :)
It comes down to the browser recognizing what the server sends back as 
the result of clicking a link or submitting a form.  Normally, it 
recognizes it as an HTML page and displays it (overwriting what's 
already in the browser obviously).

In the case of downloading a file though, it can tell it's a file of 
some other type, and will either pass it along to a plug-in for display, 
or ask the user what to do with it.

Of course, I just repeated what Andrew said really :)

All of our classes are located in the webmedx package, and logging 
messages with a level greater than INFO are sent to 
C:\test\logs\webmedx.log.  Struts logging messages of ERROR or greater 
are sent to C:\test\logs\struts.log.

Subject: Applicaton-specific logging in Struts

Hello,
I have implemented a plugin to configure the logging for my
application
but my application debug log is getting swamped by the struts debug
logging.
As I understand it, struts uses the common logging based on log4j but
I
cannot find an example of how to separate struts logging from
application logging.
Essentially, what I would like to do is configure the logging so that
classes in my packages go to a different file!
Any help would be appreciated for this [not so major] problem...
Cheerio,
Nic.

Re: struts to generate html email content

[Philip DONAGHY]

We do this using the jakarta taglibs. There is a tag called mailer. When
wrapped around the email body in a jsp will send an email.

I see that the example (mailer.jsp) is assisted by the request tag.

<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/mailer-1.1";
prefix="mt" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/request-1.0";
prefix="req" %>

You'll have to check that out to see if you need it.

OT Useful Validation Routines

[e-denton Java Programmer]

 Hi,

If you aren't using Validator, you might find these useful:

public static boolean isValidEmailAddress (String eMailAddress)
  {
  return eMailAddress.matches
("^[_A-Za-z0-9-]+(\\.[_A-Za-z0-9-]+)[EMAIL PROTECTED](\\.[A-Za-z0-9-]+)*(\\.[_
A-Za-z0-9-]+)");
  }

 public static boolean isValidURL (String url)
  {
  return url.matches
("^https?://([-\\w\\.]+)(:\\d+)?(/([-\\w/_\\.]*(\\?\\S+)?)?)?");
  } // end isValidURL

Happy Thanksgiving!

Re: OT Useful Validation Routines

[brettconnor]

This pattern will reject some valid email addresses. The local part (the bit
bofore the @) is interpreted by the target email system and should not be
interpreted by source or intermediate systems. The meaning of it, including
what characters are legal, is entirely up to each email host. I cannot quote
you the RFC number from the top of my head, but I have seen a number of
websites fail on this. Some of my email addresses contain + for example.

RE: Multibox deselection problem

[Seetamraju, Uday]

For simple use-n-throw (non-dynaforms?) forms, a much better *generic* solution 
:-

At the VERY BOTTOM (please note the caps to get your attention ;-) ) of the JSP 
that displays the form :-

<%  MyForm frm = (MyForm) request.getAttribute("formname");
frm.reset();
%>

In scenarios where the user can "temporarily" navigate to other pages and comes 
BACK to this page the user will find all values gone...
So, it works wonderfully ONLY for use-n-throw forms.
>From my experience, forms with such checkboxes are not on the 'main page' 
>(that the user keeps coming back to for all screen flows).

All my forms are explicit bean-classes, -- others can let you know if reset() 
works on dynaforms.
And do not forget to code your reset() function.

RE: action forwards to target frames

[Seetamraju, Uday]

I have never found any luck on google, but the top secret solution for such 
things is whispered as :-

HTTP Headers   

Now I honestly do not know how to set the **EXACT-SPECIFIC** HTTPRequest 
headers.
In the header supposedly, you can specify something similar to the "target=..." 
attribute of a  tag ...
If you found out how, you will have to do such stuff in the actual JSP (?)

I am still thirsting for a way to expire PUT pages on the browsers (since 
obviously meta-tags don't do the job).

RE: Multibox deselection problem

use disabled instead of readonly.
IIRC , HTML rarely uses readonly -- its mostly disabled attribute everywhere.

It works just fine for me.

RE: struts and applets

In the applet, open the 
URL("http://myserver/mywebapp/appletSupport.do?param1=x¶m2=y";);
And read the response.
Alternatively, you can URL("http://myserver";);
and write to the opened URL as :-
GET /mywebapp/appletSupport.do?param1=x¶m2=y

This works for HTTPS also I believe.

Re: struts to generate html email content

[Ken Pelletier]

Nathan,
I briefly looked into using jsp for email templating recently, and 
decided that it was not the right fit for the task in my situation.

Instead I ended up building a basic template merge facility using 
Velocity, and a mail sender facility based on JavaMail.  I tied them 
together with a thin service layer in my webapp that is configurable 
and dead simple to invoke.

Using Velocity also allowed me to easily extend the system to include a 
web-based template manager and editor to allow users to create 
templates and verify them (preview) online.

Some of the advantages I found were:
- reasonably simple to build for basic merge/send
- easy to unit test in isolation (no dependencies on web container, jsp 
compiler)
- equally usable within a webapp or in a stand-alone app or script
- template authoring easily understood by non-programmers

The merger and sender are also independently unit tested with basic 
JUnit test cases.

It may be worth considering in your case as well.

something like this:

2) struts action sets up parameters and identifies recipients.
3) delegate to a jsp to create the html email content.
4) trap the content (don't return to the user) and send as an email.
5) return a message to user confirming email has been sent.
is this possible without having to re-invent a servlet container :)
I have used Jelly  (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/jelly/) for this

using Jelly Embedded 
(http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/jelly/tutorial.html#embeddingjelly)

RE: Help with Exception handling

[Seetamraju, Uday]

I don't like to let the exception go as is, since I need the stack trace.
Don't you wanna know what went wrong?

The following works wonderfully, -- I have :-


Note my key!

My system failure URL is mapped in web.xml to a simple JSP with customer 
service tel#.

public class MyExceptionHandlerAction extends ExceptionHandler {
... 
public ActionForward execute(Exception arg0, ExceptionConfig arg1,
ActionMapping arg2, ActionForm arg3, HttpServletRequest 
arg4,
HttpServletResponse arg5) throws ServletException {
return new ActionForward(arg1.getPath());
}

protected void logException(Exception arg0) {
super.logException(arg0);
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, this.getClass().getName()+ " is 
handling unexpected webapp exception : "+arg0);
arg0.printStackTrace();
}

validator validwhen and quotes causes js errors

[erh]

It seems hard to believe that no one ran across this before, but
it appears that it's not possible to specify quotes in the criteria
used for validwhen.  I tried to use a criteria that looks like this:
((somefield == "foo") or (*this* < 123))

However that caused javascript errors on the page because the quotes
don't get escaped in any way.  I tried using a backslash to escape them,
but the backslash itself gets escaped.  I'm thinking that one workaround
might be to change each quote character into this sequence:
" + '"' + "
which will probably get the javascript working, but I have a feeling that
the java validwhen parser won't like that much.  Not to mention that
doing that would make the criteria unreadable.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Also, the nbaPointGuard example on the validator user's guide page is wrong.
It has a '>' character when it should have '>'.

Anyway, after all that, I realized that I can't do what I want with
validwhen.  I want to run one validation only if another fails.
There doesn't seem to be any way to do that, is there?

HTTPS Post Action

[Hardy, David T.]

Hello,
 
Is there any way to post to an HTTPS URL in the html:form? It appears I cannot 
use a relative URL or a fully qualified URL. I see the SSLEXT but I would like 
a quicker and easier solution if possible. I am already at an HTTPS URL for the 
current page.
 
Thank You,

RE: Struts 1.2.4 - DynaActionForm.initialize(ActionMapping) no longer called ?

[Natraj Gujran]

Thanks for the responses, Bill & Niall. 
 
This is what I finally found out, and thought would be useful sharing. 
 
Struts 1.1  calls the 'initialize(ActionMapping)' method as part of
RequestUtils.createActionForm() . 
Struts 1.2.4 does NOT seem to call the
DynaActionForm.initialize(ActionMapping )   or the other
DynaActionForm.initialize(FormBeanConfig  ) . 
 
The initial values that get loaded from the struts-config.xml  is because of
the RequestUtils class invoking the corresponding FormBeanConfig object which
reads up the initial values from struts-config.xml. 
So, in my case where I had coded an initialize() method calculating the two
date fields (checkin date / checkout date)  to be 21 days from today, was
never getting called. 
 
Bill's advice of using making reset() invoke 'initialize()' works for all
simple usages of Struts if we use only the HTML Form tag to load the form. 
That's because the the Form Taglib ends up invoking a
'RequestProcessor.process()' method which explicitly calls the 'reset' on the
FormBean. 
 
I had cases where I was switching form beans, copying values from alternate
forms, etc. In those situations, I had used RequestUtils.createActionForm(). 
Here, I had to add an extra invocation to 'reset' just like the
RequestProcessor is doing. 
 
To sum it all up: 
1.  Put in a reset that calls the 'initialize()'  OR put the
'initialize()' code in 'reset'. Like the documentation. 
2.  Wherever you are using the RequestUtils.createActionForm(), make sure
to call the 'reset' or 'initialize' immediately after. 
 
 
Thanks for the help, 
Natraj

Subject: Struts 1.2.4 - DynaActionForm.initialize(ActionMapping) no longer
called ?
 
Hi, 
 
This has come up during migration of our Struts 1.1 app to 1.2.4. 
 
It doesn't look like the 'initialize()' method of DynaActionForm is called
anymore ? 
 
In our application, we cannot initialize form values by using static values
in struts-config.xml.  
Eg: if a date is to be initialized 21 days from today, AFAIK , we had to put
that code in the initialize() method.
 
Right now, I'm at a loss about what next to do - any tips will be greatly
appreciated. 
 
Thanks,

[OT] another JSF question.. how nicely will the front end handle...

[Rick Reumann]

First off, Craig if you are reading this, how come no one has started a 
jsf-users mailing list? I hate using web forums. yuk:) Seems like you 
post more on this list here than on the JSF forum so figured I'd start 
here with my question, plus I know there are many struts users dabbling 
in JSF (as I'm JUST starting to do. Just bough Geary's book.. very nice 
btw).

First let me frame my question in light of a real life terms that we 
have to deal with. We have some complex nested value objects that return 
from the backend. Typically the user on the front end is provided the 
opportunity to modify just a few of the nested VO properties. The nested 
VOs are thus stored in Session scope which makes it very easy to return 
back the full VOs with the modified properties (after BeanUtils does the 
copying of the request params). For those that are wondering, why not 
just create an ActionForm to capture the single properties you need - 
the answer is this would be a nightmare to then figure out how to get 
those properties from your from back into the correct spots in the 
ValueObjects. (By the way, I dont' think the backend should need to 
provide ways to handle how the front is giving you the data so the 
backend should be able to just give me a VO with nested VOs inside). All 
of this works completely fine in a Struts environment and is made really 
easy by the use of the nested tag. (Validation is handled on the backend).

My question then becomes... will JSF be able to handle nested objects 
just as easily? I'm assuming it should but I haven't explored any of the 
JSF tags. I'm assuming that at the very least I could do like I would do 
it with JSTL (not using the Nested tag) and be able to write a JSF input 
like:


Of course it would ne nicer with an nested tag equivalent, but the above 
will work. Just checking to make sure JSF can deal with this in some way 
before I get started. If not, I'm really stuck not being able to use 
JSF, since our business requirements are complex and the objects coming 
from the backend will be nested and I need to return them back to the 
backend in their modified form. (I also don't want to have to hardcode a 
bunch of hidden variable place holders so that's  why I'm using Session).

Thanks for any light on this issue.

Problem when generating PDF in a new Window

[Adolfo De Unánue Tiscareño]

Hi folks,
Let me describe my problem,
I am generating  a PDF doc in the Action and all works fine, it could be 
show in IE, in Netscape and in Firefox, when I  try to showing it in a 
new window (user requirement) using JS it works in NS and Firefox, but 
IE shows a popup window asking if I want to download it or open it if i 
choose anything, then the next error appears: It could not be 
downloaded, IE could not open this site, try again...

I don know what is happenning, please help...
By the way all this messages are in IE not in the Tomcat...
Code in the Action:
execute(...) {
.
  // Sending parameters via POST
   conn.setDoOutput( true );
   OutputStreamWriter writerServletPDF = new OutputStreamWriter( 
conn.getOutputStream() );

   writerServletPDF.write( parameters.toString() );
   writerServletPDF.flush();
   writerServletPDF.close();
   //Obtener la respuesta
   BufferedInputStream reader = new BufferedInputStream( 
conn.getInputStream() );
   String contentType = conn.getContentType();

   if ( "application/pdf".equals( contentType ) ) {
   response.setContentType( contentType );
   response.setHeader( "Content-disposition",
   "inline; filename=" +
   "factura.pdf" );
   BufferedOutputStream writer = new BufferedOutputStream( 
response.getOutputStream() );
   String line = null;
   byte[] buffer = new byte[2048];
   int bytesRead;

   while ( -1 != ( bytesRead = reader.read( buffer, 0, 
buffer.length ) ) ) {
   writer.write( buffer, 0, bytesRead );

   }
  reader.close();
   writer.flush();
   writer.close();

   return null;
   } else {
 return mapping.findForward( "errorPDF" );
   }

   }
JS code:
function mostrarPDF(numCuentaFactura, mesFactura, anoFactura)
{
   var  w = screen.availWidth/2;
   var  h = screen.availHeight/2;
   var 
opciones="toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,resizable=yes,status=yes,menubar=no,titlebar=yes,top=0,left=0,scrollbars=yes,width="+w+",height="+h;
   var url =

Re: Tiles and file download

The problem with using tiles is that as soon as you start to insert
a tile the output buffer gets flushed (and flush="false" doesn't work).
So you get a bunch of whitespace inserted before the actual file contents.
You'll have the same issue with any jsp page but if you're careful you
can clear the output buffer just before the file data.

refresh body only from JSP

[Peter O'Reilly]

Hi,
I am using tiles in my project using the classic layout 

This is my "tiles-defs.xml "

  
  
  
  
  
  
  


How can I create a JSP that will keep the header, footer and menu while only 
refreshing the body?  I keep getting the entire login.jsp page instead of it 
refeshing the body only.

RE: refresh body only from JSP

[David G. Friedman]

Peter,

I believe you are confusing frames, or possibly "inline" frames, with tiles.
The tile definition assembles the components of a page and hands that
completed page back to your client's browser.  If your tiles defintion
includes parts such as a header, footer, navigation bar, and main (i.e.
"center") content, EVERYTHING will be assembled into a page and returned to
the client.

To update only a section of the open browser's content, you will likely need
either frames or "inline frames".  For more information on frames, see the
HTML 4.01 spec.  A brief tutorial on frames is available free from the W3C
(World Wide Web Consortium) at:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present/frames.html

One particular link at the bottom of that page can direct you to a section
on "inline frames".

Regards,
David

Action path from Flash

[Fedor Smirnoff]

Hi,

 

I am trying to call an action from a Flash file. My applications are all
called as such:

 

Main.com/app1

Main.com/app2

 

The problem is that I want to keep flash script universal so I call action
as such:

 

/myAction.do

 

However, what happens is that Main.com/myAction.do is called instead of
Main.com/app1/myAction.do

 

Any ideas guys as to how to pull that off, I really don't want to do
app1/myAction.do and app2/myAction.do

 

 

Thanks,

Fedor

You need to fix your Flash not your Struts.  I call from Flash all the
time.  The new ActionScript is rad.
