That'll be an issue.

The workflow interceptor depends on the ValidationAware interface to decide
if it should modify the result.

Hi All,

I:'ve been battling this for many hours.
I hope someone can help.
Using JDK 1.5, Struts 2.0.11


My property:
shoot_date of type Date
has get and set and on execute()
set's the default date to today's date
setShoot_Date(new Date);

on the form:
<s:datetimepicker name="shoot_date" displayFormat="MM/dd/yyyy" />
even without displayformat it doesn't work.

what happens is that i click the submit button that submits an action
that executes a method that tries to read the shoot_date and it's null.

Hence the error in my log:

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: ""
    at java.text.DateFormat.parse (DateFormat.java:337)
    at
org.apache.struts2.components.DateTimePicker.format (DateTimePicker.java:309)


Does anyone have a good working example?

Thank you very much,

Serge

I'm not sure what the JavaBean convention would be for a property with an
underscore.

Have you tried it as "shootDate" (with corresponding
getShootDate/setShootDate methods)?

Hi Serge,

You'll find many emails in this forum relating to DatePicker problems.
Some of the solutions are here: http://cwiki.apache.org/S2WIKI/vault.html

In this case though, is it possible you've forgotten the s:head tag at
the top of the page?

Hello Jeromy,

I do have : <s:head theme="simple" />
Also, i use Netbeans to generate respective get/set method so they are
JavaBean std compliant.

The issue for me unfortunately is getting the value back , it seems to
lose it.
:(

Thanks for feedback though.

Serge

Here is an example where I use it successfully:

<s:datetimepicker name="incomingAnswer" displayFormat="d MMMM yyyy"
           dayWidth="wide" formatLength="full" type="date"
           value="%{defaultAnswerDate}"
           startDate="%{tomorrowAsRFC3339}"
           required="true"/>

but in this specific case defaultAnswerDate, startDate and
incomingAnswer are all String properties whose values are in RFC3339
format ("yyyy-MM-dd").
This doesn't account for the blank error you're experiencing. As Dave
mentioned, the most likely case for that is a property name mismatch.

Hi

I have a form with multiple buttons,

<s:form namespace="/user" action="updateUser" method="post">
 <s:submit name="action" value="resetPassword" key="button.resetPassword" />
 <s:submit name="action" value="delete" key="button.delete" />
</s:form>


and my action class looks like the following,

public String execute() throws Exception {
  if (action.equals("resetPassword")) {
    userService.resetPassword(user);
  } else if (action.equals("delete")) {
    userService.delete(user);
  }
  return SUCCESS;
}


This action is working, except that the label/text of the buttons are
not fetched from the i18n properties file.

The buttons are displayed as "resetPassword" and "delete".

What is the good way to implement a form with multiple buttons, while
maintaining the i18n?

I don't see why the I18N isn't working. That's probably just a minor
configuration problem.

Several options:
on s:submit, include a method="" attribute to call a method other than
execute

<s:submit name="action" value="resetPassword" key="button.resetPassword" method="reset"/>
<s:submit name="action" value="delete" key="button.delete" method="delete />

public String reset() throws Exception {
 userService.resetPassword(user);
 return SUCCESS;
}

public String delete() throws Exception {  
 userService.delete(user);
 return SUCCESS;
}


---
Or split it into two actions:

<s:submit name="action" value="resetPassword" key="button.resetPassword" action="resetPassword"/>
<s:submit name="action" value="delete" key="button.delete" action="deleteUser/>

---

Or use a wildcard in the action

<s:submit name="action" value="resetPassword" key="button.resetPassword" action="updateUserReset"/>
<s:submit name="action" value="delete" key="button.delete" action="updateUserDelete/>

<action name="updateUser*" method="{1}" class="...">
---

I prefer the latter approach because it works best with XML validation and the ajax tags.

Hi

In http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11/docs/submit.html, the submit tag
has an "action" attribute that says "set action attribute."

May I know how can we make use of this action attribute?
Any example?

Thank you!

It simply overrides the action attribute of the form:

<s:submit name="submit" value="a" action="action1"/>
<s:submit name="submit" value="a" action="action2"/>

where action1 and action2 are actions named in struts.xml

The way it works is that the value of the button has the name of the
action added to it. The ActionMap in struts2 inspects the params,
detects the "action:" prefix and executes the named action instead of
the one in the URL. The prefix is then stripped off the value.

The method attribute works the same way (adds a method: prefix)

Hi Antonio, I received that spam for the first time today too on my

I got one this morning.

Of course, I'm a pretty skilled knife- and stick-fighter and have fairly
current firearm and bodyguard training, so I was more eager than anything
else :D

If you get any background information on whoever sent it, please send it my
way; I don't have the time to dig at the moment.

oh I was just reading it. Struts 2 team, you are going down! :)

Maybe you should be worried if you didn't get one :-)

Hi,

I found the DTD for tiles configuration at
http://struts.apache.org/struts-sandbox/tiles/tiles-core/dtddoc/index.html.

What I want to do is extend the BasicPreparerFactory and configure the
struts 2 application to use my class. The application uses the spring plugin
but tiles 2 is sandbox and does not integrate with spring yet. Therefore I
need to manage the instantiation of preparer classes in a custom factory
that behaves like the spring container.

Somewhere in struts.xml or tiles.xml this can be configured???

i've a strange problem
my application is done with struts, working local with JDeveloper IDE which
has OC4J embedded server
when i change locale to french local the labels are read correctly

but when i deploy on tomcat labels from resource bundle are read in english
though labels are retrieved from database are read in french normally which
means that local is set to french

any sugesstions please ?

hi,

Suppose you have a struts.xml mapping that looks like:

<action name="Form*"
class="com.sag.optimizer.ui.web.action.form.Form{1}Action">
 <result name="input" type="tiles">webui.form{1}</result>
 <result name="error" type="tiles">webui.failed</result>
</action>    

In several cases I will probably want to provide a valid non empty
implementation of a corresponding Form{1}Action.class but in some cases
I don't want to have to provide any but a default implementation e.g.
FormGenericAction that just extends ActionSupport. Is there any way to
do that?

My coverage reports are getting uglier and this is one of the reasons :)

Will CodeBehind give what you need? I'm not sure with your use of
wildcards.
It gives "pages with no mapping": a default do-nothing action that
provides access to s2 tags & resources...but not to a default tile AFAIK

Hi,
We are using struts2 with the struts 1 plugin. I have been getting this error when posting to an action. I really am not sure where to start looking, any ideas?

Jeromy,

Again, thanks for the reply. I appreciate your help!

Following your example below, I can see the JSON result in the app
server console when the action called, but I get the following error in
the browser:

FATAL exception raised: TypeError: Value undefined (result of expression
this.data[x][0].toLowerCase) is not object.

What is this telling me?

-- my Struts mapping:
 <package name="search" extends="json-default"
namespace="/search">
   <action name="searchByText"
class="...QuestionSearchAction">
     <result name="success" type="json">
         <param name="root">list</param>
       </result>
   </action>
 </package>

-- My Form:
<s:url id="search" namespace="/search" value="/searchByText.action" />
<s:autocompleter theme="ajax" href="%{search}" name="text"
loadOnTextChange="true" loadMinimumCount="3"/>


-- My Action:
public class QuestionSearchAction extends BaseAction {

 /**
  *
  */
 private static final long serialVersionUID =
1127012585409657094L;
 
 Question[] list;
 private QuestionService questionService;
 
 public void setQuestionService(QuestionService questionService)
{
   this.questionService = questionService;
 }

 public String execute() {
   List<Question> all= questionService.getQuestions();
    list= all.toArray( new Question[all.size()]);
    return SUCCESS;
  }
 
 public Question[] getList(){
   return list;
 }

}


Cheers!
mg

I completely agree with Dave so I'll take a different tact.

Based on this example:
http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11/docs/ajax-tags.html#AjaxTags-autocomplet
erTag,
I would also take the approach of returning a JSON Result via the JSON
Plugin. Only the configuration changes for an XML result.

So, my form looks like this:

<s:url id="json" value="/JSONList.action" />
<s:autocompleter theme="ajax" href="%{json}" dropdownHeight="180"/>

So, my struts.xml contains the corresponding action definition with a
JSON result:

  <package name="example" extends="json-default">
    <action name="JSONList" class="package.ListAction">
      <result name="success" type="json">
        <param name="root">list</param>
      </result>
    </action>
  </package>

And my action method looks like this:

private ACEntry[] list;

public String execute() {
  list = populateList()
  return "success";
}

public ACEntry[] getList() {
 return list;
}

---
In summary, the autocompleter does a get to /JSONList.action
Struts2 executes the execute method of ListAction
The execute method creates a structure that will populate the
autocompleter
The action returns a JSON result type
The JSON plugin converts the root object (the list property only rather
than the whole action) to a JSON structure
The JSON plugin returns the application/json content to the
autocompleter

I'll leave it to you to determine what the list structure should like
like. As it'll probably be re-use I'd create a bean for the purpose.
Use the FireBug plugin for firefox to inspect the format of the JSON
result to ensure it matches the format required by the javascript
library (or even better, write a unit test).
This will work with any javascript library that accepts JSON - you just
have to provide an appropriate structure. It will also work with any
library that requires an XML response, except you'd use an XML result
type like I previously described in this thread.

I hope that helps. Struts2 is really well suited at providing non-html
responses if you take the time to understand the ResultType
architecture.

cheers,
Jeromy Evans

sorry to be late to this discussion. Dave and Jeromy are right on the
spot. I would advise not to use ajaxtags project and go with what
Struts 2 provides, or use YUI which will play nicely with JSON.

"Hey you! Would you help me to carry the stone?" Pink Floyd

I think that error is coming from your jsp, not the JSON generation.
Do you have "this.data[x][0].toLowerCase" somewhere?
