If it's used across the application, by all users, and rarely changes, just keep it in the application context. You could also implement Preparable and retrieve the categories there.

Dave

That's usually how I start. The one thing I usually add is an Aware
interface that allows me to inject the value into my Actions when it's
needed. So in your case I'd add a simple interface:

interface CategoryListAware {
void setCategoryList(List<Category> categories);
}

And at the end of your interceptor I'd add:

Object action = invocation.getAction();
if(action instanceof CategoryListAware) {
((CategoryListAware)action).setCategoryList(categoryList);
}

That way you can add the Interceptor to your default stack and the
Actions that need the category list can have it injected without
having to have any knowledge about the Session. (which makes the
system much easier to unit test).

Wow it is amazing how S2 can be used.
This is a use of interceptor I've never seen before.

IMHO, I think it is too much trouble to declare an xxxAware interface
and an xxxInterceptor to just share the same database data across
multiple pages. I would stick to store the data in session or
application scope. You have available the SessionAware and
ApplicationAware interfaces that injects into an action a
java.util.Map that usually is enough for testability.

My own common solution to this problem would be to use Spring to
inject a service bean into the action that would retrieve the category
list from a cache (OSCache works great for me and has easy Spring
integration.) When data is not in the cache or it times-out, it is
read from the database.

Hi all,
just yesterday i had the very same problem in rails with date field,
so i searched for disabled definition and found this:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#successful-controls
and
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.12
It looks like disabled flag will simply prevent the field from submiting.

So an extra hidden field read-only should do the job.

Best greetings,
Paweł Wielgus.

Hi all,
I've got a multipage form bean to complete a registration in 3 steps.
Validator
is not working correctly. Some fields in the first page are validated,
some are not.
In the 3rd page none of the fields are validated. Now from what I
understand
I need to extend ValidatorActionForm instead of ValidatorForm. But in
the xdoclet
path I need to provide a path attribute. (btw I use a patched 1.2.3
xdoclet to support
struts 1.3.8) If this is the path for the action then I'm in trouble
because I have 3 seperate
actions for each step. Do I need to combine them in one?

Could you please provide an example of how to use this path attribute?

Thanks
Dimitris

Hi all,

I'm using Struts2.0 in our application.I have written the code in such a way
it supports Ajax(<s:head theme="ajax">).
I'm successfully implemented the login screen using ajax.After user
successfully logs in, the user views four Radio buttons written in a
struts 2 div tag.Based on the selection of the radio buttons i need to
display another component in the same page by invoking an action class using
AJAX......

Note:The login Screen is a separate JSP. And successful login which displays
other JSP.


Looking forward to ur reply....

What's the question?

So what's the best way to get the latest 2.1.3 snapshot as source?
Only the jars seem to be in the maven snapshot repo...

Are there any instructions on doing that somewhere? I've looked but
can't find them...

If it is in S2, u can use DisplayTag (displaytag.sourceforge.net), which

If you want to implement using <s:iterator /> tag, then use rowStatus of
the iterator and using the modulo (%) division by 2, u can get whether
the current iteration is even or odd, and based that you can decorate
your table.

Iterator Tag [1], second and third example

Hello

Tomcat version 5.5.26
Struts2 version 2.0.11.1

I'm trying to understand why, given the following in web.xml requests
sometimes 'miss out' the Struts2 filter

<filter>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>


It appears to really only be an issue with web.xml declarative security

Reading around the various archives it appears that this is a know issue
when trying to use Struts2 Actions as the target but I'm not trying to do that
I just use a standard jsp.

<odd>

The really odd thing is that the login process works perfectly
sometimes and sometimes it fails with the (apparently well known) message

The Struts dispatcher cannot be found.
This is usually caused by using Struts tags without the associated filter ...

</odd>

Here's the login config

<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<realm-name>Form based authentication</realm-name>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/login.jsp</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/login.jsp</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>

Someone, somwhere on my journey through the archives suggested this fix.

<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>

It does appear to solve the problem I was just wondering why ?

Is there a definitive resolution to this problem out there somewhere ?

TIA

Because it's up to a servlet container how it will forward to /*
(request, forward, redirect ;-), the same is with
<welcome-page>index.action</welcome-page> is working or not.

I can't think of a better word to describe it frankly

I have the following link

<a href="secure/Login">View my account</a>

This is a protected resource and requires a login
If you don't get to any other protected resource via this link you
have not initialised
your login session correctly and you are thrown out. It's worked for
me for years
in various web apps.

With Struts2 on board, sometimes when I click this link everything
works, sometimes it doesn't

If I have

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

As far as I am aware then every request should be handled by this mapping.

Unless I am missing something of course

Well this has nothing to do with forwards AFAICS, that fact is the
exact same link works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't
If I am already logged in and I click the link then I goto the
relevant resource depending on role without being required to log in.
That seems to work fine. The problem occurs when I click the exact
same link from different pages, well sometimes it does and then again
sometimes it doesn't. I really can't see why one Http Request should
be different from another as far as the filter is concerned.

There is a forward going on but that is after the user has been
validated and the Login servlet executes, it then forwards the request
onto the relevant resource but like I say, the user has already been
logged in by them.

There is obviously something going on that I am not aware of ...

Well I read that it breaks in IE 7 but I downloaded that particular

My roles are all there, everything works perfectly ... sometimes ...
it's all very confusing I have to say.

Anyway, thanks for the ideas
I'll keep hacking away

Never had this problem with POJOs, Servlets and jsps :-(

1. struts-2.1.x - put template_exception_handler=rethrow in
freemarker.properties to catch for the writeIfCompleted functionality
in FreemarkerResult.
2. tiles-2.0.6   - template exceptions now pass through [
https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/TILES-238 ]. This way the
"main layout" ftl template
remains buffered and discarded thanks to 1. No messed output, you get
a clear error page.
3. xwork-2.1.x - result exceptions now are properly handled from
ExceptionMappingInterceptor. [
http://jira.opensymphony.com/browse/XW-521 ]

This was a simple test setup simply replacing tiles-2.0.5 from the
distro with tiles-2.0.6.
I'm not sure how trivial or complex the integration steps shoud be.

Cheers,
Rado

I think you'd better open a JIRA issue for this.
About Tiles 2.0.6 the inclusion should be trivial, just the change of
a version number in the pom.

Hello everyone,

this is my first S2 project - i am a newbie (although i have a tiny
little experience with S1...). :-)

I am storing my view (JSP) files in /WEB-INF/jsp/... so they cannot be
accessed directly to prevent links from external pages that contain fake
parameters. Therefore all requests are handled by actions.

AFAIR, the current coding practice in S1 is to use an action that caters
a form (e.g. prepopulate) and presents the view to the user. A second
action then takes care of the form processing (including validation and
everything).
                                        ^
                                <<success>> |
                                        |
    /-----------------\   +--------------+   /-----------------\
 --->( presentFormAction )-->|  form.jsp  |<-->( processFormAction )
    \-----------------/   +--------------+   \-----------------/

My questionis the following: Is it possible to merge these two actions
into a single one? Or are there any drawbacks?

         ^
         | <<success>>
         |
    /--------------\   +--------------+
 --->(  formAction  )<-->|  form.jsp  |
    \--------------/   +--------------+

The problem seems to be the validation. Of course, I don't want the
initial request (with all params set to null) validated (and the error
messages generated).

A solution could be to assign a param/value pair to the "Submit"-Button
and let an interceptor check for it. If not found, forward to INPUT..
The interceptor must fire before the error-generating interceptors
(conversionError, validation and workflow AFAIK).

Is there a good way to do this? Maybe I am not the first one who wants
to do it and there is already something in the default interceptor
stack. I wouldn't touch the S2-defaults until I really must.

Or is there a reason why my approach wouldn't work? Proposals are
welcome :-)

Thanks very much in advance,
~Andreas

Hi,

Check PrepareInterceptor [1] with prepare() method

Dear Dave,

I put this in my classpath:

C:\eclipse\workspace\myProject\WebContent\WEB-INF\lib\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar;

and I run sitegraph from my lib folder:

C:\eclipse\workspace\myProject\WebContent\WEB-INF\lib>java -cp ... -jar stru
ts2-sitegraph-plugin-2.0.11.1.jar -config ../src/java -views ../../pages
-output
shema

and I get this exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/commons/lo
gging/LogFactory
    at
org.apache.struts2.sitegraph.SiteGraph.<clinit>(SiteGraph.java:51)

What is the problem here ?

Thx, Milan
