Well, the application works fine with Firefox 2, Safari, Opera, IE6 and IE7
but not with Firefox 3.

What can I add more? Firefox 3 has a bug! I'm not going to debug my
application.

You could say HOW it doesn't work. "It doesn't work" is essentially useless as a diagnostic tool. I use FF3 with S2 apps all the time, so it's obvious (to me) that there's an interaction between your app and FF3 that I would *think* you'd want examined. I know *I* would, but I'm funny like that.

Well, there you have it then.

Here's something that might help:

Dave

With the tag <s:head theme="ajax" /> the pages load and then become blank
while Firefox hangs trying to load something.

Well if I change the <s:head theme="ajax" /> to <s:head theme="xhtml"> it
works fine.

On the other hand I lose the ajax functionality. The widgets provided by
dojo are not displayed.

Again

My application works fine with Firefox 2, IE6, IE7, Opera 9.51, and Safari
3.1.2 but not with Firefox 3.

I reported the problem to Firefox 3 Mozilla and they told me that Firefox 3
works fine with Dojo 1.x

I agree but there are problems with Struts2 and with Dojo 0.4 that is
bundled with.

Until there is a workaround available other than redesign my whole
application I was told to make sure the application works fine with all the
browsers but Firefox 3.

Regards.

There *is* a workaround, and I provided the link for it yesterday.

Is #page one of the stack context vars? I'd consider using #attr, unless you can confirm that it is (I always forget). Or just use #request.

Looking at the docs:
http://struts.apache.org/2.1.2/docs/ognl.html

there is no #page notation when using struts taglibs, since they all
use OGNL syntax.
If you need to access a page scoped object, you need to use the #attr notation.

Personally I'd either map an action to the input method or differentiate based on GET/POST requests, but that's just personal preference.

Without knowing what are you actually trying to accomplish with this
interceptor, I would warn that when an interceptor messes up with the
parameters, you need to carefully think where in the interceptor chain
this interceptor will execute.

I explain what I am trying to do in my first post[1].

What do you mean by messing up with the parameters? The Interceptor only
checks for the presence of at least one of the specified parameters. It
does not change anything. Are there any interceptors that actually
change the parameter map? As I said, I am a S2 newbie and haven't heard
of many things, but I would consider it as bad style.

Greetings,
~Andreas

Sorry it seems I entered the conversation later and didn't saw that email.

The problem you want to solve is very common (skipping form validation
the first time you call an action) and, as Dave wrote, it is commonly
solved by invoking the action with the input() method [1]. This method
will do nothing and will return INPUT as the result, thus forwarding
the response to the page with the form.

As an example, the checkbox interceptor removes the hidden checkbox parameters from the map to avoid an attempt to set them on the action or its results, instead munging the hidden field name to get the checkbox property name.

I don't think this is particularly typical, but it is kind of cool, in a treacherous kind of way. Mucking with the parameter map can do some interesting things under controlled circumstances.

Aah - I thought so - that's why I was asking for a recipe.

You guys are right - that is a better solution.
Sorry Dave - I did not get it at first, but that's the thing I was
looking for :-)

BTW: I can't rely on distinguishing between GET and POST, as I use GET
also in forms when it doesn't change the state on the server (e.g. a
simple search form). I'm sometimes annoyed by webapps that use POST for
all forms, because then my browser comes up with this "Are you sure?"
message whenever I want to refresh the result page.


Thanx alot!

I had an opportunity to throw together a sample application. Apologies
for the delay.

Relevant source and commentary are included in the demo.
http://www.blueskyminds.com.au/url-hierarchy/

From the description:
"This webapp demonstrates a technique to access resources with
hierarchical relationships in Struts 2.

The model is a Book with a list of Chapters. Each Book has a unique URI:
eg. /book/1 (book #1)

Each chapter also has a unique URI:
eg. /book/1/chapter/2 (chapter #2 in book #1)

Following Struts2 conventions, the list of books and list of chapters in
a book are also available:
eg. /book (list of books)
eg. /book/1/chapter (list of chapters in book #1)

I do understand that the example is there to provide an example of an
interceptor and is not really intended to be an industrial strength
security solution. I also understand that once validated any secure
action can be accessed because the required token (User, Account
whatever) is on the session.

It just sounded like the Login action could be used regardless of initial Action

Wouldn't it be great to have the redirect resultType parameterised in
some way so that the target could be set depending on which action was
selected ...

Anyway

Thanks for taking the time to reply

Using a service like pastebin, paste2, nopaste, etc. solves that problem, and can be a better alternative for long-ish snippets even when XML is supported.

You can. Try something like this:

<action name="Login" class="manning.chapterFour.Login">
<result type="redirect">
    ${destination}
</result>
<result name="input">/chapterFour/Login.jsp</result>
</action>

The key is to have the code that redirects to the login use a request
parameter, say, "destination", which contains the current URL. The
login action will get that parameter and use it for the redirect.
Alternatively, you could forgo the "redirect" result and have the
login action method return an instance of ServletRedirectResult
directly, initialized with the "destination" value.

No, that's a feature of the Convention plugin in 2.1.x though.

A simple alternative is to write a custom ActionMapper that extends the
default and sets the action name to index if there was no other match
and no extension.

I threw this together but don't use it any more:

You can plugin a regex matcher (default) or plaintext or others.

After using it for a while I found it more effective to build custom
action mappers instead of over-engineer an all-purpose actionmapper.

If you're using Struts 2, don't name your checkboxes like that.
Create an array or list property in your action and include the index in
each checkbox name:

List<String> filenames = new LinkedList<String>();

<input type="checkbox" name="filenames[0]" value="filenameA">
<input type="checkbox" name="filenames[1]" value="filenameB">
<input type="checkbox" name="filenames[2]" value="filenameC">

Eric,
 If you are using struts 2, Eric have u tried s:checkboxList ??
Syntax: <s:checkboxlist list="" listKey="" listValue="" name=""/>

If its just a Boolean object ignore the key value :D

Hi all,
 I would like to achieve something like this <s:text name=<s:
property value="someProperty" /> />

I know this code is not going to work; in short the name that should
come is inside a property,

Eg:-
someProperty = "my.text.label"
<s:property value=" someProperty "/> gives me my.text.label

<s:text name="my.text.label"/> give me the value I wanted.
But how can I get both at same time?

Any one has any idea?

PS: I am using struts 2 :)


Regards,

Jishnu Viswanath

If your action extends ActionSupport, or implements TextProvider, or a
TextProvider is in the ValueStack, then you can call one of the various
getText() methods to access resources.

Something like the following should work:

<s:property value="getText(someProperty)"/>

ie. evaluate someProperty, then invoke the getText(String) method to get
the resource with that name.
