I was thinking more along the lines of encrypting the userId and
password hash using AES, store the value in the cookie, then if the
cookie is available during another session decrypt, check everything
matches, and let them back in.

That way it avoids trying to maintain sync between the user and the server.

Be aware of cookie stealing.

But you will have to store keys on the server side for future use,
maybe simple MD5 plus some arbittary text will be better?

Personally I kinda liked my idea of a cookie interceptor that will inject type-converted cookie values into actions; we'll probably use something like that for our new projects.

It's going to be a problem with whatever method is used. Even if there
is a server side IP address record for each cookie you still have the
problem of cookies stoled and used at the same location :(.

Unless you have an idea you wish to share? :).

The key(s) can be a single key per day/week/month. The date of the
cookie generation can be included and the relevant key looked up.

The problem with MD5 is it's one way so I'd have to have either a search
and match algorithm, or a database of MD5ed text to user mappings. With
AES I can extract the user ID and a check that the password hasn't
changed from the cookie itself by decrypting the cookie data.

Dave,

I'm completely agree it's a great idea and useful thing to do, but the
problem is what to put into the cookie and how to map it to the user.

My current favourite is encrypt the properties you want to store (using
AES for speed and JCE support), then decrypt and inject when needed.
Cookies should be considered limited to 4K (due to the joys of RFC2109
Section 6.3), so as long as the data fits joy shall be mine :).

If your benchmark uses multiple threads throw in a freemarker upgrade to
2.3.13 and have another spin :).

One thing you might want to bear in mind is that if you're using a
persistance framework there maybe some back end fetching taking place
between a.b.c and a.b.c.d. Even though you write simple beans and
accessors you can't guarentee whats happening to your objects under the
covers.

Can you give me a quick hint, how I can access what I need? Not sure
what I should search for....

Try this:

Hello, All.

I've a problem, I usa a combobox to show options in a page, but I need
keep the id and show the description.

I use Apache Tomcat 5.5 and Struts 2.0.11

My bean has:

 private String technology;
 private Collection<Technology> lstTechnology;

My page has:

    <s:combobox label="%{getText('technology')}" name="technology"
readonly="true" headerValue="--- Please Select ---" headerKey="1"
listKey="lstTechology" list="lstTechnology.{shortDesc}" />

Thanks!

JP

Use listValue?

It should be like this

list="lstTechnology"
listKey="technologyId" - this will be the value of technology
listValue="technologyLabel" - what will user see

No-reply? :(

However, I solved. Now all works well.

I used

I added "org.apache.commons.validator.Validator" to methodParams of the

Hello. I've a very strange problem using content disposition in stream
result:

<result name="success" type="stream">
      ${contentType}
     downloadStream
     filename=${fileName}
     1024
</result>

fileName is a field of my action class.
When filename contains no spaces, everything goes fine. But if filename is
something like "hello song.mp3"
the browser shows that the file is "hello". I'm sure that the filename is
correct in my action class because i logged it out.
Any idea????

thank u!

Hi Folks,
I have particular requirement where I have nested elements and within that again some elements… So the nesting is up to 3 levels.

Top most element is   
ModulesList= it has N modules
 Module = it has N  Parts
Part= it has N Elements

Here is the class hieirarchy
Parent class that holds all modules.
public class FSModuleListForm extends ActionForm {

            private List mModuleList = new ArrayList();
      public List getModuleList() {return mModuleList;}
      public void setModuleList(List aModuleList) {mModuleList=aModuleList;}
     
public FSModuleForm getModule(int index)
      {
                  return (FSModuleForm) mModuleList.get(index);
      }

public void reset(ActionMapping aMapping, HttpServletRequest aRequest)
    {
        super.reset(aMapping, aRequest);
        moduleList = new ArrayList();
        for (int i=0; i < 25; i++)
        {
            mModuleList.add(i, new FSModuleForm());
        }
    }

}
==============================================
//Module Description
      public class FSModuleForm extends ActionForm
        {
            Public FSModuleForm()  
            {    
              moduleId = -1;
              moduleName=null;
              moduleType=null;
              moduleLabel=null;
              partsList = new ArrayList();

              //Lets initialize the list
              for (int i= 0 ; i < 10; i++ ){
                  partsList.add(i,new FSPartForm());
              }
            } 
            public FSPartForm getPart(int index) {
                  return (FSPartForm) partsList.get(index);
            }
            public void reset(ActionMapping aMapping, HttpServletRequest aRequest)
            {
                  partsList = new ArrayList();
                    //Lets initialize the list
                    for (int i= 0 ; i < 10; i++ ){
                        partsList.add(i,new FSPartForm());
                  }
            }

                  elementList.add(i,new FSElementForm());
              }
       }  

      public FSElementForm getElement(int index)
      {
           
                  return (FSElementForm) mElementList.get(index);
      }
      public void reset(ActionMapping aMapping, HttpServletRequest aRequest)
                  for (int i= 0 ; i < 50; i++ ){

           optionalFlag=null;
           defaultValue=null;
           sortOrder=0;
      }
     
}

Here is my JSP

      <logic:iterate id="module" name="FSModuleListForm" property="moduleList">

                              </logic:present>
                        </tr>
                        <hr>
                  </logic:iterate>


ISSUE:
1. Should I extend actionform for all classes or just the top most class is good (in my eg  FSModuleListForm) ?
2. I am able to display data on screen but when I submit only the module information gets populated
Not the parts associated to each module. Though indexing  value displayed looks good.
           
Html generated some what looks like
            InvestMent Objective1:
                        Desc:  <input type="text" name="module[0].moduleDesc" value="InvestMent Objective – first ">
                        Label:<input type="text" name="module[0].moduleLabel" value="InvestMent Objective First">
                        <input type="hidden" name="module[0].moduleId" value="1">
                                    This is Investment Objective1 Part NAME
                                                            Label:<input type="text" name="part[0].partLabel" value="This is Investment Objective1 Part Label">
                                                                        <input type="text" name="part[0].partId" value="1">

----------------------------------------------------------------------
            InvestMent Objective2:
                        Desc:  <input type="text" name="module[0].moduleDesc" value="InvestMent Objective – Second ">
                        Label:<input type="text" name="module[0].moduleLabel" value="InvestMent Objective second">
                        <input type="hidden" name="module[0].moduleId" value="2">
                                                This is Investment Objective2 Part NAME
                                                            Label:<input type="text" name="part[0].partLabel" value="This is Investment Objective2 Part Label">
                                                            <input type="text" name="part[0].partId" value="2">




Can some one please help me on this issue or is this not possible in Struts ?

Thanks in advance.

Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

So I have been doing some testing and it seems the the same two action
objects are persisting. So when I invoke the first action class the
ActionInvocation has on the stack (for lack of a better name)
PrepareTestAction@(protected)
get some other arbitrary action.

When I leave the page and come to it again the same class
PrepareTestAction@(protected).
This would explain why the list of persistent objects is still showing.
However in my other struts 2 environment where I am not using hibernate nor
spring there are new objects each time (PrepareTestAction@(protected)...).

I hope this sheds some light on what can be going wrong because I can still
not find the solution.

Thank you all.

Hi,

Are you using spring to instantiate your actions? If so, did you setup
to not use singletons?

With the simple theme, I would expect the s:label to work the same way,
but the s:textfield to generate no label (because the simple theme
doesn't do that). If that's what you're seeing, that's the correct
behaviour. If you are seeing something different, you need to describe
exactly what that is.
