I noticed that you have this:

> <context-param>
>   <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
>   <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext-security.xml</param-value>
> </context-param>

but the prosoc-spring-beans.xml is not listed, so Spring won't know to
pick it up. I did see that prosoc-spring-beans.xml was listed as an
init-param to the uk.co.prodia.prosoc.Config servlet. I'm not sure what
that is doing though.

Try changing the contextConfigLocation param value from this:
<param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext-security.xml</param-value>
to this:
<param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext-security.xml
classpath:prosoc-spring-beans.xml</param-value>

If the the uk.co.prodia.prosoc.Config servlet is manually loading
Spring, instead you could have it use Spring's
WebApplicationContextUtils (which is what StrutsSpringObjectFactory uses
to lookup beans), rather than manually configuring it. Then you'll have
one instance of Spring to manage all the beans, and the Struts 2
integration should work fine.

Hopefully you can edit the code in uk.co.prodia.prosoc.Config servlet!

It looks like I can use:

WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(getServletContext()).getBean("myBean");

in order to get already deployed beans. That clear up the error I was
getting when I started this thread. I am getting another error but I will
spend some time on it first before seeking help.

Thanks for your time.

I didn't see your reply before I sent my last post.

You were absolutely correct and I must say that, looking through that mass
of config, well spotted.

Thanks for your help Bard.

You can pass parameters on a redirectAction, I do it all the time


<result type="redirectAction">
 PrepareDictionary
 /admin
 ${dictionaryId}
</result>

Would really appreciate any help with the following (sent yesterday).
Just a pointer to some good docs would be great

-------------------------------------

Basic question sorry (looked all over but can't find the answer)

1) When validation fails for my 'username' textfield, the error message
is displayed ABOVE the text box.

Is it possible to have more fine-grained control over how to position
the error message. Ideally I would like it below (and in line with) the
text box.

2) If I enter an invalid value twice, the original message is still
there, so I have two 'username is invalid' messages on the screen now. I
know this is done by the javascript so I want to know the recommended
way of overriding this behaviour.

Thanks

-Richard

Did you tested with 'not in' instead of '!'?

Dear Al,

O.K. You suggest that I have multiple classes in one package/namespace, like
this:

<package name="somePackafe" namespace="/myNamespace"
extends="struts-default">

 <action name="load" method="execute" class="FirstActionClass">
           ...
        </action>

        ...

        <action name="save" method="execute" class="SecondActionClass">
           ...
        </action>
</package>

?

I understand what are you talking about, but my class is connected to little
bit complex jsp-s, where I have, reading/saving master object,
reading/saving its child objects, some links to other objects, and all of
that must be placed during user input, like wizard, so it's hard to separate
code in two classes, because I will have a lot of duplicate code
(attributes).

Regards, Milan

More like;

<package name="somePackage" namespace="/myNamespace" extends="struts-default">
 <action name="load" method="load" class="FirstObjectManager">...</action>
 <action name="save" method="save" class="FirstObjectManager">...</action>
 <action name="load" method="load" class="SecondObjectManager">...</action>
 <action name="save" method="save" class="SecondObjectManager">...</action>
 ...
</package>

You can also use singletons, utility classes, and good old-fashioned
inheritance to reduce code duplication (remember, Actions don't have to
extend ActionSupport, ActionSupport is just a utility class).

You can change the action name to something more explicit so instead of
just load, save, load, save, you could have firstObjectLoad,
firstObjectSave,....

You may want to look up RESTful URLs to get some inspiration.

If I don't use a delay the wait.jsp is displayed on my input and success
results.

Because I don't want to display the wait.jsp on my input result I'm using a
delay.

If I use a delay (any length of time) the wait.jsp never displays.

Any ideas would be appreciated! Thank you.


<action name="search" class="com.struts.SomeClass">
    <interceptor-ref name="execAndWait">
        500
     </interceptor-ref>
     <result name="wait">/actions/wait.jsp</result>
     <result name="input">/actions/SomeClass-input.jsp</result>
     <result name="success">/actions/SomeClass-success.jsp</result>    
</action>
