Can you put the code some where, if you are using IE 6, it has a known
problem with z-index attribute.

Probably you have to ask the Struts menu maintainers:

"Naturally?"

Sniping aside: the "include" documentation [1] states the following:

"Each included file must be in the same format as struts.xml, including the DOCTYPE. The include files can be placed anywhere on the classpath and should be referred to by that path by the "file" attribute."

To me that implies a well-formed, complete S2 config file.

I don't know if "should" is an appropriate word here. It may not meet your expectations, but it works as described, and in some ways is better than a linear include.

And was completely unmentioned in the document I was looking at:
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/can-we-break-up-a-large-strutsxml-file-into-smaller-pieces.html

That FAQ should have had a link along the lines of "Full documentation for
include is [here...].

What neither document mentions is how to configure both the top level
struts.xml and the secondary files to avoid duplicating entire interceptor
stacks using packages. 1-2 lines referring to other bits of information
would have been enormously helpful.

I did finally get it working, using an <include> in struts.xml, and in the
included struts.xml, added dtd, a new package definition, and an
'extends=' reference to the parent package.

Sorry we didn't put it where you looked. In general I usually recommend looking at core documentation in addition to FAQs, it provides context for the more free-form, supplementary nature of FAQs.

I've changed the FAQ entry [1] to point to the core documentation. (Note that changes are not immediately visible.)

Feel free to file a CLA and contribute to the documentation or file JIRA issues against existing documentation; input and contributions are helpful and appreciated (even more so without sniping and implied obligation :)

You lost me there; once an element (interceptor, stack, whatever) is defined it's available to subsequent elements. The <package...> documentation [2] describes the use of the "extends" attribute and states:

"The extends attribute is optional and allows one package to inherit the configuration of one or more previous packages - including all interceptor, interceptor-stack, and action configurations."

In the html form I have this tag:
<sx:autocompleter list="{'apple','banana','grape','pear'}" id="stnnzn" name="name" keyName="nameKey" />
It works fine but doesn't pass values to action <name> and <nameKey>
properties. I test it in ie6 and everything is alright.
Does anybody knows the problem?

I am not sure... Struts in turn uses dojo for its Ajax (it was .4) there
are lot of issues with dojo and ff3. I am not sure because of this it's
failing.

Can you tell me what exactly it's the error, if you have firebug
installed, tell is there any request in red?

Yes, dojo in firefox3 works with bugs. Only loading dojo libs
requires manually change some firefox defalt parameters and this a big
problem for deploying web project with dojo running on ff3.
I have firebug installed but it doesn't show any error.
autocompleter simply doesn't pass it's values in request after form
submitting and those params in action are null, but on the other hand fulfill its functionality
perfectly (autocomplete operations).
I also test autocompleter in opera 9.5 and the tag doesn't work
either.
The only browser that understand autocompleter is ie6.

Opera does not work with dojo, by the way try in safari can u see what
is the generated code, I am using dojo 1, so had re written almost all
the ftl's. Dojo uses a hidden field where we store the data. Check if it
has given the proper name in generated code.

I've already check the generated code in firebug. Yes, hidden fields
are in place. Here is html code:
<select dojoType="struts:ComboBox" id="synnzn" name="name" keyName="nameKey" initialValue="grape" visibleDownArrow="true" onblur="validate(this);" >
  <option value="apple">apple</option>
  <option value="banana">banana</option>
  <option value="grape" selected="selected">grape</option>
  <option value="pear">pear</option>
</select>

And this is code form firebug:
<span class="dojoComboBoxOuter dj_gecko" _="whitespace and CR's between tags adds  in FF" style="">
<input dojoattachpoint="comboBoxValue" value="" name="name" tabindex="-1" style="display: none;"/>
<input dojoattachpoint="comboBoxSelectionValue" value="" name="nameKey" tabindex="-1" style="display: none;"/>
<input class="dojoComboBox" type="text" dojoattachpoint="textInputNode" dojoattachevent="key:_handleKeyEvents; keyUp: onKeyUp; compositionEnd; onResize;" autocomplete="off" style=""/>
<img class="dojoComboBox" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="/translator/struts/dojo/src/widget/templates/images/combo_box_arrow.png" dojoattachevent="onMouseUp: handleArrowClick; onResize;" dojoattachpoint="downArrowNode" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;"/>
<span class="dojoComboBoxOptions" style="display: none; position: absolute;"/>
</span>

As you can see everything seems good.

I Think I find the bug.
See here:

<input dojoattachpoint="comboBoxValue" value="" name="name" tabindex="-1" style="display: none;"/>
<input dojoattachpoint="comboBoxSelectionValue" value="" name="nameKey" tabindex="-1" style="display: none;"/>

We don't have <id> param here, only <name>. And FF I think use
getElementBuId() func, which return null if missed id param. IE in such
cases use <name> param instead of <id>.
But I still don't know how to fix problem.
Don't anyone face this challenge?

For the sake of completeness, does your form work in Firefox 2.x?

I noticed that.... but I don't think id is a mandatory field... id is
give for users to do manipulation on the widget, other wise it would be
mandatory field.

Any way did you check what is the value sending to server? I mean the
HTTP header?

Modify the theme/template, I suppose [1, 2]? Is there any particular reason you don't want it to have an id?

Dave

[1] http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/themes-and-templates.html
[2] http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/extending-themes.html

Thanks Dave.
We want to have more control of when to throw in IDs and when NOT to
throw in IDs. Basically, what we want is in the struts tags, if we
specify id attribute, struts should render it, otherwise, dont put
auto-generated ones in. Excessive IDs are a lot harder to maintain,
and we have UI guys to take care of all of the look and feel, W3C
compliance, cross browser behaviors. We only provide IDs when we
absolutely need it.
We also have automated acceptance testings which sometimes found
difficulty working with Struts generated ids.

Anyone know which Java class or place in the source code that the IDs
are generated?

Cheers,

It might be easier to modify the template(s) as I suggested earlier; extracting the existing templates and modifying/extending a theme is a simpler solution than creating a custom S2 build.

Dave

I took a quick look at the templates, and found that there is id
generation logic in UIBean.java -

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/struts/struts2/trunk/core/src/main/java/org/apache/struts2/components/UIBean.java?view=markup

So, forcing an element to not have an ID might be a bit tough. I still
agree with Dave though, that creating a custom template is your best
choice, it will require some decent freemarker skills though.

Hi Nicole,

This is an action class that does validation of two parameters:

public class SignonAction extends ActionSupport {
  private String username;
  private String password;
 
  @Override
  public String execute() throws Exception {
    Map session = null;
    boolean authenticated = false;
    try {
       authenticated = Utils.authenticate(username,password);
    } catch(Exception e) {
       // Swallow the exception
    }
    if (authenticated) {
       session = ActionContext.getContext().getSession();
       User user = new User();
       user.setLogin(username);
       user.setEmail("set your email");
       session.put("loggedIn", user);
       return SUCCESS;
    } else {
       return ERROR;
    }
  }
 
  @RequiredStringValidator(message="", key = "username.required")
  @StringLengthFieldValidator(message = "", key =
"username.invalidLength", minLength = "6" , maxLength = "15")
  @RegexFieldValidator(message = "", key = "prompt.invalidCharacters",
expression = "^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$")
  public String getUsername() {
    return username;
  }

  public void setUsername(String username) {
    this.username = username;
  }

  @RequiredStringValidator(message="", key="password.required")
  @StringLengthFieldValidator(message = "", key =
"password.invalidLength", minLength = "6" , maxLength = "15")
  @RegexFieldValidator(message = "", key = "prompt.invalidCharacters",
expression = "^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$")
  public String getPassword() {
    return password;
  }

  public void setPassword(String password) {
    this.password = password;
  }

}

It uses annotation to validate.

Hope this will help.

Regards.

Pierre

Thanks for the quick response Dave!

So, before annotation-based configuration, you'd setup action chaining
to have it go from the input() method to the execute() method?

Has that style now been replaced with Validateable's validate() method
and the DefaultWorkflowInterceptor?

Even then, I guess I still don't understand why it is a method on
ActionSupport, if it was just a convention.

No, you'd go to form display via input(), and submit to
execute(). Conceptually, like this:

<action name="foo_input"
method="input">
<result>/WEB-INF/jsps/foo.jsp</result>
</action>

<action name="foo">
<result
name="input">/WEB-INF/jsps/foo.jsp</result>

<result>/WEB-INF/jsps/foo_success.jsp</result>
</action>

I guess you *could* do it like you're suggesting, but I
never did. Of course, I'm usually wrong :)

There are a few different ways to implement a pattern like
this--I don't know which ideas came first; someone with
more WW experience could probably provide better history.

Um, not sure; I guess I never really thought of the two as
related before. In my short time with WW/S2 the input()
method always skipped validation, so it always seemed to me
that they worked together to implement the pattern shown
above--but I could have completely misunderstood, too.

So we didn't have to write our own if it didn't do
anything particularly special. For example, if we were
doing action initialization via Prepareable the default
impl would be enough (for the above, possibly wrong,
pattern).

Oh that makes perfect sense! Got it now.

That makes sense too. The input method is listed in struts-default.xml
as an excludeMethod for the validation interceptor.

Ah! Got it. I completely understand now.

Thank you very much for your enlightening response Dave!

Every time I see this code in S2, it makes me laugh so I will share it
here (DefaultActionInvocation.java):

...
if (proxy == null) {
 gripe = "Whoa! No ActionProxy instance found in current
ActionInvocation. This is bad ... very bad";
} else if (proxy.getConfig() == null) {
  gripe = "Sheesh. Where'd that ActionProxy get to? I can't find
it in the current ActionInvocation!?";
}

...

My task is:
1. Action PrepareLawDraft has private field LawDraft lawDraft ; it has
public getter and setter.
This action fills LawDraft object fields.

2.On ActionSupport.SUCCESS I go to processlaw.jsp
On this jsp I want to output some fields of LawDraft and allow user to
modify

3.Then user presses button "save" and I store LawDraft instance.

Problem:
On the step# 2 I can't access object LawDraft. I get this error:
javax.servlet.ServletException:
freemarker/ext/servlet/HttpRequestParametersHashModel.<init>(Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest;)V

On jsp use this code:
<s:form action="#" method="post">
  <s:submit value="Сохранить" name="submit"/>
</s:form>

I even don't try to access to LawDraft, I've put away that code, just empty
STRUTS2 tags. What does it mean?
Please, help, Google doesn't give me any suggestions.
I use WebSphere Application Server 6.1

> <s:form action="#" method="post">

action is not the action attribute for particular form, but it's the
name of the action in struts.xml, so you should put # in there.

Could you post the whole stack trace?

hi,

I followed the instructions here:
http://code.google.com/p/struts2jscalendarplugin/wiki/FAQ

but the jscalendar does not render ... is there anything extra to do
when using with S2.1.x? is it confirmed to work/not work with that version?

TIA,
Giovanni

It's possible - we're doing it:

(Struts.xml)
<constant name="struts.enable.SlashesInActionNames" value="true" />

...

<action name="web**" class="...">
...
</action>


We also noticed Struts accepts web.action or just web, so our URLs look
like this

http://ourdomain.com/web/path/to/an/xml/file <-- web action is invoked


-B





I've done *.do or /do/* in S1.

Is it possible in S2 to map a URI fragment (not extension) to invoke the
action? Can someone show me an example how?

Paul

hello,
i have a jsp code like this:

<s:textfield name="myName" key="myKey" maxlength="12">
<s:param name="value" value="%{#parameters.myParameter}"/>
<s:param name="labelcolspan" value="%{1}" />
<s:param name="inputcolspan" value="%{1}" />
</s:textfield>

myParameter is passed by url.
If i execute this in tomcat(i've installed in my machine) there is no
problem, the application gets the parameter; but if i execute it in the
oracle application server i don't see the parameter in the text file...

Does anybody knows why?
Thanks in advance!
