Hi

I think there are typo error in
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/stringlength-validator.html

Missing closing double quote:
<param name="maxLength>10</param>
should be <param name="maxLength">10</param>

Invalid ending tag:
</field-name>
should be </field>

Do we need <field-validator type="stringlength">?

Hi

When i am trying user <s:head theme="ajax" />
At certain place in Mozilla 2.0.0.8 it displays Busy script dialog box.
If i remove the <s:head theme="ajax" /> then it solves this problem.
But i want to use <s:head theme="ajax" />.

If any one know the cause of this problem and solution please tell me.

Thank you

Nop. Neither way works.

<s:iterate value="pageCount">
<s:property />
</s:iterate>

This has a single iteration, and the value outputted is the value of
the variable (10 for example).

The <c:forEach> jstl tag, as well as all other jstl tags, is not
allowed in struts 2.0.11, afaik.

Obvious facts are like secrets to those not trained to see them.

That limitation is only for struts tags, for example <s:property
value="${somevalue}"/>, otherwise you shouldn't have problems with JSTL. I
haven't run into any on 2.0.11.

Hi everybody.

I want to test a action class (Struts2) by JUnit. and then method in
this action need a value in session, then when I run my JUnit test
class, ActionContext.getContext().getSession return null. (not
ActionContext.getContext().getSession().get("XXX") return null).
this action class is working fine in browser.


thanks for any help

Joey

You need to initialize the ActionContext in your unit tests. Take a
look at the Struts 2 tests how it is solved there.

Thanks, I just checked testing class in Struts2 package, but I am a
newbie for Struts2. I cannot understant Struts2 very well, so if you
don't mind, pls tell me which testing class I can learn from.

Thanks again

I found it . like this.

As a first side note S2.1.1 hasn't been released, so you're either using the
very old S2.1.0 snapshot, or you're using the latest from the Subversion
repository.

Most of the tags in S2.1 need the stack due to the way they are rendered, if
you are using any tags you should have the filter in place because many of
them either use defaults from the stack in order to render correctly, or
some (as is the case for sx:head) set default values in the stack to control
how other tags are rendered.

That's what I thought but why does tags need stack when I am not
accessing any of the values. It just has sx:head.
So my question is am I right in saying that struts should be able to
render struts tags as it does jstl tags without worrying abt any stack.
If stack is null, it should treat it as an empty stack rather than
throwing null pointer.

The filter is what puts the stack into scope so the tags have data to
access
(more or less).

Struts 2 allows us to automatically populate our forms if we name our
fields correctly, which is wonderful.

My actions usually go something like this

execute () {

  MyObject o = myDAO.getRecord(id);

 member1 = o.getMember1();
 member2 = o.getMember2();

}

MyObject is a JO for hold a row in the database. I like the fact that
I can name my form field 'member1' and it the interceptor will set and
get from my Action. I dont like having to set up each member variable
in the action with the members my class. Is it possible to somehow
have Struts automatically populate an Java Object rather then the
Action? I thought I remember reading about this before but I'm not
sure. It's not a big deal, and I know I can use OGNL to access the
value, but I wanted the convience of mapping a fieldName to my custom
object. Is this possible?

Thank you,

Rich

Did you try :

MyObject theObject;
(geter and setter on theObject)

execute () {

  theObject = myDAO.getRecord(id);
}

And in the JSP : <s:property value="theObject.member1"/>

To automatically get/set MyObject.getMeember1() rather then it
automatically setting it in the Action and then having me create the

Packages and namespaces are discussed (at least) at [1, 2].

Dave

[1] http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/package-configuration.html
[2] http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/namespace-configuration.html

Thanks,

I had seen those, but the problem I was having was that at no point in the
docs (afaik) is there an example of a URL to actually target an action in a
namespace.

Through a (very tedious) process of trial and error I finally stumbled upon
a (the?) solution.

Actions like these...

<s:action name="space/do"/>
<s:action name="space/do.action"/>
<s:action name="/space/do"/>
<s:action name="/space/do.action"/>

Do not seem to work. However like this...

<s:action name="do" namespace="space"/>

does.

Annoyingly this...

<s:action name="do.action" namespace="space"/>

doesn't seem to work either.

And don't even get me started about using namespaced actions with the a tag.
href="/space/do" doesn't work either. Jeez, I can only think I must be
missing something.

And the final insult when the actions don't resolve properly it fails
silently and all I get is an empty browser.:-/

however this does

I recently made use of model driven and preparable using some of the
advice provided in Roughley's book, and got a clear picture of how these
interceptors work from the forthcoming Manning book. Our situation
required 2 different actions (one provides the form that posts to
another that does the save). We're using annotated validation on our
model with custom validators. This created the need for model driven in
order for the field names to sync up across actions and for the text
field tags to have the same field info in order to do the right
decoration on field error.

The key to making it work was this interceptor stack:

<default-interceptor-ref name="paramsPrepareParamsStack"/> which I
didn't see anyone mention yet.

Understanding what to do with preparable and getModel was a little
tricky, and I think the important thing for me was to make sure my
action was doing one thing. Action 1 - Provide the model to a form.
Action 2 - Handle the form posted model.

Action 1 only had getModel and the property declaration for the model,
but no setter/getter. Prepare took care of setting it, and action 1 was
nice and clean.

Action 2 on the other hand did require the setter/getter plus getModel
and a somewhat strange prepare() in order for info to be made available
from the value stack back to the INPUT result when field errors occur.
Here's the prepare() statement:

  public void prepare() throws Exception {
    if (site == null) {
       site = new Site();
    } else {
       site = getSite();
    }
  }

Since this action handels a form post it makes sense that site is null
and to create a new one that then gets populated with all the form data.
The } else { site = getSite() } part is a kludge and is there strictly
so I can run a test against this action. I could not figure out a way
to get a mocked up site object into the action without doing this.

Has anyone unit tested model driven/preparable actions in this format?

Testing these with the BaseStrutsTestCase found at arsenalist.com was
illuminating to make sure these actions worked. If you haven't used the
test case provided there you need to check it out and start using it
when writing these kinds of actions.

I hope some of this makes sense.

Thanks,
Andrew

Subject: Re: preparable vs modelDriven

I don't think you are strictly conveying the intended usage, when you
say that the getModel() method will 'later' return the model. It depends
how your interceptor stack is ordered. In the docs, it explicitly says
the ModelDrivenInterceptor should come before ParametersInterceptor, as
often the PrepareInterceptor does.

Both ModelDriven- and PrepareInterceptor can retrieve the model and
place it in instance variables on the action.

http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11/docs/prepare-interceptor.html

http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11/docs/model-driven-interceptor.html

What I originally wanted to ask (whether I conveyed my question
correctly is another matter) was: what's the difference in intention and
implementation between these two?

Hello coworkers,

I have a questions regarding the struts validation..., say I have three
text fields to be validated in struts validation, and three submit
buttons as well. When I submit one buttion, I only need to validate one
field, and when I click on the other submit button, I need to validate
the other field. Currently, all three fields are validated even though I
don't need to. Is there any way to overcome this issue?

Thanks.

You can do it by having 3 different methods such as

method1() method2() method3() and then have

validateMethod1() validateMethod2() validateMethod3()

then in your form

<s:submit key="button.method1" method="method1"/>
<s:submit key="button.method2" method="method2"/>
<s:submit key="button.method3" method="method3"/>

or you can do by using action aliases and have three validation xml
files.

Are you using Struts 2 at all?

You can still use the generated HTML as a template to create your own HTML,
although... not sure why you wouldn't just use the tag in this case.

No, I am using struts 1.1, I would like to implement the following case:
In valiation.xml:

<form name="/myAction">
    <!--if submit button 1 clicked, I validate the
following field>
   <field property="myProperty" depends="required">
     <msg name="required" key="error.key1" />
   </field>  

   <!--if submit button 2 clicked, I validate the following
field>
   <field property="name" depends="myValidator">
     <msg name="myValidator"  key="error.key2" />
   </field>
</form>


I don't want to validate both fields at the same time when just one
submit button is clicked. Your helps are appreciated!

Oh, wow.

Does validwhen[1] not exist in S1.1? You can always create a custom validator
as well if you find your validation stretches what's easy to do with the
existing validation configuration possibilities. You may also be able to
combine declarative validation (via XML) and Java-based validation, although
it's been a pretty long time since I've thought about that :)
