#1 is from the static param interceptor, so you have that set up
somewhere, and the second one is from the normal request parameter
(params interceptor)

Hi all,

I am trying to validate the date field through the xml by using the date
validator defined.
<field-validator type="date">

The problem with this is we can't have leap year validation with this, nor
formate validation and need to specify the date range.

Is there any way where I can validate the date(which implicity take care of
leap year validation with MM/DD/YYY format) and without giving the date
range.

The field type defined in my view bean is java.util.date.

Thanks
Siddiq.

Thanks everyone for their opinions. I was indeed hoping to hear both
sides of this matter, with both bringing valid arguments and make good
points.

I was wondering with popular frameworks like struts, spring and
hibernate integrated together and the increasing adoption of test
driven, and agile development, there should be at least a couple of
comprehensive, and well documented strategies on how to perform such
kind of unit testing with the whole working stack included in the unit
tests.

I am somewhat curious in trying to do this and making it work, so if
anyone is aware of any other resources, or strategies in addition to
Greg's article, where Spring is involved, I'd be very interested in
taking a look at them.

Or, if someone has done such Struts testing before and wouldn't mind
sharing some high-level advice, or hints toward a good starting point,
that would be very helpful and I am sure others can find this
information of value too.

Again, thank you for your input.

Hi,

+1. I'm biased in my opinion though. I helped write part of the code
that's being quoted on:

http://depressedprogrammer.wordpress.com/2007/06/18/unit-testing-struts-2-actions-spring-junit/

We like to test against the complete struts context include the relevant
interceptor stack. This gives us the ability to test for all kinds of
combinations of compelte and partially incomplete input. We like to test
with mock database layer (for speed purposes). E.g., when providing
incomplete input, I can test for:

assertEquals(INPUT, proxy.execute());
assertEquals("4 field errors", 4, action.getFieldErrors().size());

In addition, we also like to test out the rendered result, all while
running the ActionTest. It helps catch fat-finger mistakes. E.g, we can
write code like to check that our freemarker template got rendered
properly:

assertTrue("Content contains first record",
 content.contains("{'institutionType.type': 'CEC'}"));
assertTrue("Content contains last record",
 content.contains("{'institutionType.type': 'COL'}"));
assertEquals("Number of records in list should be 4", 4,
 StringUtils.countMatches(content, "'institutionType.type':"));

I glanced briefly at the provided code on Greg's and it looks similar in
principle to the depressedprogrammer (arsenalist) code. Good work, Greg.

If it's integration testing you want to do, I've had success embedding
Jetty and doing "full" in-container integration testing. Embedding
Jetty is really easy, and it's pretty fast too. Although not Struts 2
specific, take a look at this article:

Hi,

I am trying to implement a login mechanism. I will now explain what I did
and what error I get but in case there is a more sophisticated way to do
that - please tell me!

I created a BaseAction which is the parent of all my Actions. The BaseAction
is supposed to be responsible for displaying a login page if there is no
User object in session scope. Then the login form should put the username
and password into the BaseAction. The BaseAction then tries to find a match
in the database and places the User object into session scope:

---------------------
public abstract class BaseAction {

 private String username;
 
 private String password;
 
 protected Log log;
 
 private Boolean loginStatus;
 
 
 public String execute() {
   if(log == null) {
     log = LogFactory.getLog(getClass());
   }
       
   if(isProtected()) {
     Map<String, Object> session = ActionContext.getContext().getSession();
     Object o = session.get("user");
     if(o instanceof User) {
       loginStatus = true;
     } else {
       return "login";
     }
   }
   
   
   return executeAction();
 }

 
 public abstract String executeAction();

 public abstract Boolean isProtected();
 

 public Boolean getLoginStatus() {
   return loginStatus;
 }

 public void setLoginStatus(Boolean loginStatus) {
   this.loginStatus = loginStatus;
 }

 public String getUsername() {
   return username;
 }

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

 public String getPassword() {
   return password;
 }

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

An Action that wants to be password protected must implement #isProtected()
to return "true". This is my JSP file that is shown if #isProtected() ==
true and there's no User in session scope:

---------------------
...
<s:form>
 <s:textfield label="Username" name="userData.username"></s:textfield>
 <s:password label="Password" name="userData.password"></s:password>
 <s:submit></s:submit>
</s:form>
...
---------------------

This is the error I get

---------------------
20:35:42,179 WARN OgnlValueStack:49 - Error setting value
ognl.OgnlException: target is null for setProperty(null, "password",
[Ljava.lang.String;@(protected))

Why is that happening?

I am working on a plug-in and having trouble getting the runtime to find my
freemarker pages. I have a folder named pages in my plugin.jar where my
freemarker pages reside. My struts-plugin.xml is referring to the pages as
follows:

<result type="freemarker">/pages/config.ftl</result>

However, I am receiving a runtime

java.io.FileNotFoundException: Template /config/pages/config.ftl not found.
 at freemarker.template.Configuration.getTemplate (Configuration.java:489)

I have studied the struts2-config-browser-plugin and I'm now starting to
wonder if there is some magic with respect to the freemarker folder being
called config-browser which happens to be the same namespace of the plugin.

Does anyone know the mechanics of these names?

Peace,
Scott
