Yeah, I also decided it was too much effort to setup the linux install.
I run it within a vmware workstation running XP. I'm feeling dirty

Poseidon and ArgoUML share a common codebase. Argo does Java -> UML,
and I think the community edition of Poseidon does as well, but I'm
possibly wrong on this point.

Then i guess it would be a smart way by letting spring inject the DBA object
into your action(s) and the clean up service as well.

Agree, you're right (btw, i meant context listener when i wrote filter -
sorry).

But still it depends on the job that has to be done and about the database
design. Think about a clean up job that takes quite a while and the main web
service needs to be suspended meanwhile. Then a Servlet Context Listener
could start the db maintenance while an intercepter could catch ever request
and send back a 503 during that maintenance window. But of course the main
job would then be done from the context listener (or any pojo service that
was injected using spring i.e.).

Then I guess it would be a good excercice to refactor that database
access code into a DAO to decouple your actions from the DB.

oh yes, yes, it would include those parameters in the request, but I'd
have to figure out some OGNL that would add actionErrors and fieldErrors
as parameters for the redirect, then if my Action-being-redirected-to
extends ActionSupport the setters should automatically be called.

I think this would be done often enough that it could be built into the
Result.

At this point, however, the default behavior of not doing
POST-redirect-GET for validation errors seems to work just fine for me.
So I think I'll only do POST-redirect-GET on successful POSTs which pass
validation.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something here, but using the
ServletActionRedirectResult with parse=true and extra parameters does
include these parameters in the redirect URL.

The problem is that this mechanism is limited to string-based (or
string-parseable) parameters, so you're ruling out objects like an
ArrayList
that would contain error messages. That's where something like flash
scope
would be useful and is unfortunately lacking in 2.0.

I wonder if specifying HttpServletResponse.SC_FORBIDDEN would make a
difference because the HttpServletResponse has those constants and that is
in the method signature for the Action class.

Assuming it's actually a caching issue, google for tomcat +caching.

This is a generic HTTP issue, not Struts: it's all about the headers.

Thank you all for your help. I think we have it resolved and it was indeed
the WLCookieName parameter (JSESSIONID) in the weblogic plugin that was set
incorrectly. This has led to heavy discussion however with regards to this
question:
Is it really a good idea to implement the SessionAware interface and use a
separate Hashmap to hold the user's session data? Would it not be perhaps
safer and more efficient (and reduce the possibility of clustered session
replication issues) to simply get the session yourself and set the
attributes directly into it? What benefit is there to making struts the
middleman and using a separate Hashmap? We are having this debate currently
at my co. and I am lacking a convincing reason to avoid dealing directly
with the session. THanks!




You can configure sticky sessions, which means that requests that go to one
server in your cluster will always go to that server. To me this defeats the
purpose of the cluster because if that machine goes down the user will be
sent to another server, but their session will be gone with the down server.
However this is the best performing configuration. Another option is shared
sessions and this is covered in the WebLogic documentation at
http://edocs.bea.com. How or if the session is shared in a cluster has
nothing to do with Struts or any web application really.

the Map passed in when you implement SessionAware is just a wrapper
around the real session. So any changes that you make to the Map are
immediately written out to the real session, so there shouldn't be any
problem with session replication. Though I must confess, I don't know
what you mean that the problem was with the JSESSIONID parameter.

>> What benefit is there to making struts the

This decouples your action from the underlying servlets, while minimally
coupling you to Struts. As a result, your action is only tied to the
Map. This makes testing easier: just pass in a normal HashMap to the
setSession() method rather than a mock HttpSession. By decoupling like
this, your code is more of a POJO and less of a Struts-specific Action
(and certainly less tied to the Servlet spec), thus enabling the logic
to be used elsewhere, perhaps in a different project, or in the same
project but after moving to an alternative front-end framework.

I suggest you have a look at the source code for the
org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.SessionMap, this is what gets injected to your
SessionAware action. As you'll see it's simply a class that implements the
java.util.Map interface and wraps a HttpSession. Calls to the get, put and
remove methods all impact the underlying session object. It's not a
separate HashMap.

Cheers,
GB

Thank you very much. I found the source code and looked at it and now I
understand perfectly. I can't believe I missed all that info the SessionMap
object. So then once you have a sessionMap I assume that that the
sessionMap is the only thing you need for accessing the request, clearing
the session, and invalidating the session, right? Also, is the
serialVersionUID in fact the same thing as the sessionId?

The injected sessionMap is sufficient if all you need to do is get, set and
remove session attributes. For other things like invalidating the session,
you should implement ServletRequestAware and retrieve the session using the
injected HttpServletRequest.

As you can see from the source code, the sessionMap doesn't give you access
to the request.

The serialVersionUID has nothing to do with the session ID, it's for
standard Java serialization[1].

As a followup to my own posting: Sorry for not reading properly, of
course your problem does not really relate to output formatting.

Guillaume is right here IMO, for a fixed Date format a custom
TypeConverter should be the way to go, as long as the datepicker does
not work for you.

Rene

I'm not familiar with that plugin, however it uses YUI and ajax file
uploads via YUI are really simple. If you take a moment to read this
page you'll understand it a little better:
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/connection/

My guess from the error below is that you're missing the afile:head tag
and instead used the s:head tag
Otherwise there's a template conflict (two tags using the simple theme
head template), or the tag's is simply broken.

Hi,

s:submit creates a row for a button. I have two buttons and two submit appears on two different row. How do I put them on the same row? Can anyone give an example?

Thanks,

-Akash

Edit your struts.xml to reflect the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC
  "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN"
  "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd">
<struts>
 <constant name="struts.ui.theme" value="simple" />
...
...
</struts>




The behavior should be more as you expect after that. You will lose things
like the label property on textfields though. In that case you just type it
outside like:
...
<tr>
 <td>User ID:</td>
 <td><s:textfield name="account.login" /></td>
</tr>
...

Hi Marcio,

You are correct. Doing so will change the theme for the whole application. There is another way to just change the theme for specific buttons. (Check a previous reply to my question by Sharath)

eg:
<s:submit type="input" value="my button" name="submit" theme="simple" ></s:submit>

previous reply:
Hi Akash,
 
  Put 'theme=simple' this will solve your problem.

Hello,

I'm trying to use the key attribute in the s:textfield tag to display a
label from my resource bundle. I have a single application resource bundle
that I am able to access with the s:text tag, so I know the resource bundle
is working. However, when I use the key attribute, I just get an empty
string as the label.

This works:

<s:text name="user.firstname"/>

This doesn't display the label:

<s:textfield key="user.firstname" name="..."/>


Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Kelly

*sigh*

I confused the s:form method attribute and used it to specify the method to
call on the action, not the HTTP form submit method. Everything's working
now. Definitely not my brightest moment.

Thanks a bunch,
GB

Hi,

I am looking at the example provided on this link:
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/annotationworkflowinterceptor.html

I couldn't find annotationWorkflow in my struts-default.xml
<interceptor-ref name="annotationWorkflow"/>

I get an error from framework:

2008-04-11 18:04:58.817 ERROR [StandardContext           3638]: Exception starting filter struts2
Unable to find interceptor class referenced by ref-name annotationWorkflow - interceptor-ref - file:/C:/apache-tomcat-5.5.20/webapps/pm/WEB-INF/classes/struts.xml:32:49
 at com.opensymphony.xwork2.config.providers.InterceptorBuilder.constructInterceptorReference (InterceptorBuilder.java:50)


Any ideas?

Hi Matt,
I'm not convinced that you really want what you say you want.

Sure, if you use:
<s:property name="prop"/>
You want to see a message in the log stating that the property didn't
exist. Fair enough.

However, if you use:
<s:property name="prop" default="a"/>
Then I presume you don't want a message in the log if property didn't
exist. But OGNL doesn't know about the default attribute.

Similarly in FTL if you used:
${parameters.nameValue}?default("a")
You wouldn't want a warning from the framework if nameValue doesn't
exist because freemarker will handle that if you don't provide a default.

Quite clearly, when setting a property it's the framework's
responsibility to report if the property didn't exist.
But whose responsibility is it to report that an attempt to read a
property was made but the property didn't exist. I'm sure many
algorithms depending on silent failure so they can provide a default.
My opinion is that it's best handled in the view and FTL has the best
implementation of this (particularly in 2.4.x where there's improved
handling for nulls and blanks).

So what do you really want? My guess here is that you invoked a struts
tag and the tag swallowed the error and provided a default to the
freemarker template.
