Dear Wiki user,
You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Struts Wiki" for change
notification.
The following page has been changed by MichaelJouravlev:
http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsDocConfiguring
The comment on the change is:
Removed obsolete notes
--
- Typo. In the "Configuring Applications" chapter (chapter 5), section 5.5
says:
+ For SRV 2.2 and prior containers TLD files should be referenced in
{{{web.xml}}} file using "taglib" element, for example:
- ''Servlet 2.3 Users: See section 4.5.3.1 for how to avoid copying the tlds
into your application.''
-
- The "section 4.5.3.1" is a link to
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/configuration.html#dd_config_taglib_23
-- which is actually
- section 5.4.3.1. So, it appears that the '4' and '5' are transposed.
-
- ''This has been fixed in CVS. It might be more effective to enter small
notes like this as Bugzilla tickets. However, we'll leave this page here until
sometime after a new copy of the site is deployed.''
-
- -
-
- In Chapter 6.2 Installation, subsection 'Install A Struts Binary
Distribution' it says that you should add the following lines to web.xml: {{{
-
- /WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld
- /WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld
-
-
-
- /WEB-INF/struts-html.tld
- /WEB-INF/struts-html.tld
-
-
-
- /WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld
- /WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld
-
- }}}
- But I think that it should be:
{{{
-
/tags/struts-bean
/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld
@@ -46, +19 @@
}}}
+ For SRV 2.3+ containers the above definition is redundant, the container will
search inside JAR files in the war\lib directory and will load TLD information
from a suitable one. For this to work the JAR files must contain TLD files in
META-INF\tld folder (struts-taglib-x.jar file does contain difintions for
Struts tags).

[Struts Wiki] Update of "StrutsWebService" by MichaelJouravlev
Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Struts Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by MichaelJouravlev: http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsWebService New page: By Frank Zammetti, extracted from StrutsSolutions page. Please see [url]http://sourceforge.net/projects/strutsws/ for complete details, but in brief... I decided that, in my case at least, the easiest path "into the application" that could be exposed as a service would actually be the Actions themselves. You may ask, assuming the application was architected properly and the Actions delegated out work to business classes (that IS the case), why not just expose the business classes? The answer is that I wanted to leverage all the form validation and security built in to the app (it was a custom security solution). Because of this, I needed Struts to "do it's thing" leading up to the business class execution. My solution was to write a custom request processor that could recognize a Web Service request (SOAP over HTTP). It would be able to "unroll" the SOAP request, then let Struts process the request as it usually would, and then render the response. My solution does this. I don't claim this is THE way to do Web Services. Far from it. What I WILL claim though is that if you have an existing application and you want to expose parts of it as Web Services, this solution can give you a very easy way to do it, with some limitations of course... First, it is Struts 1.1-only at the moment. Second, the incoming request must be "flat", that is, no nested elements are allowed (aside from children of the root element). Third, only strings are supported, so you lose the notion of true data typing that SOAP gives you. All these details, and plenty more, as well as full source, are available at the linked address above. I welcome any suggestions anyone has. Although I haven't done much on this in a while (because it met my needs as-is), I would love to continue this work if enough people find it useful. 5. Simply put, there is no way to do this. Opening a new window is a strictly client-side activity. You have to "fake it". There's two ways to do it... First, you could simply target your HTML form using the target="_blank" attribute. This will result in whatever response the server sends back appearing in a new window. The down-side to this is you have to know before-hand to do this. If you want a variable solution, you have to get into scripting... You can set the target attribute's value via client-side scripting as appropiate before submitting the form. Second, you could have a check in all JSP's that looks for some flag in the request object. When present, the JSP inserts an onLoad Javascript event handler that opens the new window and redirects to the URL where the content can be found. Another possibility if you are using frames is to target all form submissions to a hidden frame. Include in all pages some Javascript that performs some checks and handles things accordingly... I use this in one system I wrote... The checks I'm speaking of are based on some flag value in the request object (just insert the value into a page-level Javascript variable)... The flag may direct the page to copy itself to the main display frame, or to a new window. The former is a very nice way to have a "Please Wait" screen while the server is processing. The later is the same basic idea, but in a new window. This also allows you to do some nice error handling things, such as simply hiding the Please Wait layer in the main frame to expose the page as it existed before the form was submitted. Nice way to debuild a page without incurring any server time. But now I'm getting off on a tangent :) The bottom-line here is this: There is no way to direct the browser to open the response in a new window from an Action. You either have to indicate you want this behavior when the form is submitted, or make it happen with scripting once the response is back at the browser. At least, this is true within the confines of plain old HTML... You could always pull an applet out and do something like this!

Dear Wiki user,
You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Struts Wiki" for change
notification.
The following page has been changed by MichaelJouravlev:
http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsJumpingToAnchor
The comment on the change is:
Extracted from StrutsSolutions page.
New page:
How do I include an anchor name when forwarding from an Action? (i.e., how can
I make the page returned to the browser jump to a specific section out of an
Action?)
Answer 1. If you name an anchor in your page () and you
want the browser to jump to that specific anchor when it is rendered, you would
generally do something like if you were doing
it from a link. Or, from a servlet, you might attach #something to the end of
the page name when using a dispatcher to forward. If you try to append
#something to the end of a forward name from an Action though (return
mapping.findForward("myForward#something");) you will find that Struts throws
an exception about not being able to find the forward. That is because it is
looking for a forward that is literally "myForward#something" and won't find it.
Answer 2. In theory at least (can someone verify this, I'm being lazy!) you
could actually name your forward "myForward#something", and it should work.
However, this ties your page design a little too much to your Struts config,
and that's probably not a good idea. The better solution is to use a little
snippet of Javascript on the client like so:
{{{
function jumpToAnchor() {
<% if (request.getAttribute("hash") != null) { %>
location.hash = "<%=request.getAttribute("hash")%>";
<% } %>
}
}}}
Then, all you need to do is add an attribute named "hash" to the request right
before you return the forward from your Action. The value of the attribute is
simply the name of the anchor you wish to jump to. Voila, all set!

- This space is to list persistent or general problems and to provide solutions
to persistent problems, large and small. This space is meant to provide a
place to discuss problems as well as to present your solutions. Please only
address problems which are identified consequetively by number and do so by
number. Maybe a better organization principle can follow, but this is
delightfully informal and still rigorous. Have fun! There is no need for
solutions to grapple with one another. There is plenty of room to provide
optional solutions. Again, have fun! There are no rules here. Only problems
and solutions. The number of problems in serious coding are limited enough not
to have to debate whether this or that problem is properly included here. If
you have a solution to a problem you had coding in relationship to some Struts
project, that is good enough. I will start off with a solution to the problem
of running scripts in Java, which I recently had to solve on an ap
p that needed hot deploy in Struts. That is a tangential problem and such
problems and solutions will be welcome. "No holds barred" in this arena!

production. I did not want to spend a lot of time on this (in fact, COULDN'T)
and wanted to change as little code as possible, ideally none.

- 5. I've seen this question asked numerous times on the Struts User's mailing
list, so I thought an entry somewhere on the Wiki might be a good idea. The
question is usually asked something like "How can I open a new window from an
Action?" It's a little vague, but it's along the lines of how can you submit a
form and have the response appear in a new window. Usually it's asked within
the context of doing it variably, that is, sometimes returning in a new window,
sometimes not.

'''Consider a "populate" method on !ActionForm'''. From an OOP standpoint, it
might be cleaner if an !ActionForm populated itself rather than rely on a "god"
class to populate it from the outside.
'''Consider a "!FormContext" mechanism'''. Rather than "throw-away" a
request-based !ActionForm, the object could be seralized as a hidden-field or
session-object and restored on the next request. Many other frameworks support
this behavior now. Struts would have a slightly different spin, since we look
at the form as an named entity rather than as an anonymous aggregation of other
objects.

'''Consider multiple controllers'''. One reason we introduced modules was
because "there can only be one" Struts controller in an application. With the
context-based changes we making, we might be able to introduce a mechanism to
support a collection of Struts controllers, each identified by its servlet or
filter name, each with it's own URI pattern. The key to being able to do
something like this is for view members to look to the !ViewContext rather than
the various servlet contexts. Each Struts controller would place the
appropriate !ViewContext in its own requests.

A strong goal should be that an application should be usable either as a

instantiated for each request, therefore removing the thread safety concerns
that exist today.

- 1) Install a vanilla JBoss 3.x
- 2) Copy jakarta-struts-1.1-b2-blank.war into server/default/deploy
- 3) Start JBoss
- 4) Touch/copy server/default/deploy/jakarta-struts-1.1-b2-blank.war
- 5) Wait a little bit to let JBoss finish the redeploy
- 6) Go to step 4

- Under linux you can see with "ps -p -h -o rss" that the memory
- usage is constantly increasing. With "lsof -p | grep
- jakarta-struts-1.1-b2-blank.war" you can monitor references to the old
- deployments.

- It's more likely a bug in JBoss as I haven't heard of this issue before.
BTW, at least Sun's jvm
- handles circular object references so they will get garbage collected. We
need more proof that
- this is a Struts issue. I'll leave this open for now...

- Could you please retest this on an unmodified Tomcat (standalone) install?
-
-
- --- Additional Comments From Marco Ladermann 2002-10-30 09:10 ---
-
- Okay, the problem is not JBoss specific.
- With a plain Tomcat 4.0.6 I added in server.xml a reloadable context:
- {{{ }}}
-
- }}}
- Then I forced reloads every 15 seconds with:
- {{{ }}}
- while true
- do
- {{{ touch webapps/jakarta-struts-1.1-b2-blank/WEB-INF/lib/struts.jar
- sleep 15
- ps -p -h -o rss }}}
- done
- {{{ }}}
- and the memory usage increased step by step from 30M to 155M, where the JVM
- began to throw OutOfMemoryExceptions.

- occurs ?
-
-
- --- Additional Comments From Marco Ladermann 2002-10-30 15:10 ---
-
- Tried build 20021030 and found the same as before. I also saw execption
- NoRouteToHostException 'cause some dtd resolver wants to connect to the
- internet. Don't know if that affects the phenomenon.

-
- I just found this in ActionServlet
-
-
- {{{/**
- * Gracefully shut down this controller servlet, releasing any resources
- * that were allocated at initialization.
- */
- public void destroy() {
-
- if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
- log.debug(internal.getMessage("finalizing"));
- }
-
- destroyApplications();
- destroyDataSources();
- destroyInternal();
- getServletContext().removeAttribute(Action.ACTION_SERVLET_KEY);
-
- // FIXME - destroy ApplicationConfig and message resource instances
-
- } }}}
-
- Could this be related with the bug?
-
- In destroyApplications the RequestProcessor.destroy method is invoked on the
- RequestProcessor of each ApplicationConfig, but the ApplicationConfig itself
- (now ModuleConfigImpl) aren't processed
-
-

- --- Additional Comments From David Graham 2002-11-25 04:49 ---
-
- I'm still not convinced this is a Struts problem. I'm almost certain that
circular references are
- not a problem because Sun's JVM doesn't use reference counting in its garbage
collector. What JVM
- are you using?
-
- As I understand it, to have a Java "memory leak" your app must hold
references to
- unused objects. We're talking about containers reloading an app so all those
references should
- be disposed by the container even if they were being held in error.
-
- Does this behavior happen
- when you reload a non Struts app?

The following page has been changed by MichaelJouravlev: http://wiki.apache.org/struts/NewWindowFromAction New page: How to display the response it a different window (a.k.a. How to change form target in action?) By Frank Zammetti, extracted from StrutsSolutions page. Simply put, there is no way to do this. Opening a new window is a strictly client-side activity. You have to "fake it". There's two ways to do it... First, you could simply target your HTML form using the target="_blank" attribute. This will result in whatever response the server sends back appearing in a new window. The down-side to this is you have to know before-hand to do this. If you want a variable solution, you have to get into scripting... You can set the target attribute's value via client-side scripting as appropiate before submitting the form. Second, you could have a check in all JSP's that looks for some flag in the request object. When present, the JSP inserts an onLoad Javascript event handler that opens the new window and redirects to the URL where the content can be found. Another possibility if you are using frames is to target all form submissions to a hidden frame. Include in all pages some Javascript that performs some checks and handles things accordingly... I use this in one system I wrote... The checks I'm speaking of are based on some flag value in the request object (just insert the value into a page-level Javascript variable)... The flag may direct the page to copy itself to the main display frame, or to a new window. The former is a very nice way to have a "Please Wait" screen while the server is processing. The later is the same basic idea, but in a new window. This also allows you to do some nice error handling things, such as simply hiding the Please Wait layer in the main frame to expose the page as it existed before the form was submitted. Nice way to debuild a page without incurring any server time. But now I'm getting off on a tangent :) The bottom-line here is this: There is no way to direct the browser to open the response in a new window from an Action. You either have to indicate you want this behavior when the form is submitted, or make it happen with scripting once the response is back at the browser. At least, this is true within the confines of plain old HTML... You could always pull an applet out and do something like this!
