What specifically are you looking for?
If you are looking for a basic Struts Form that calls a Struts Action check out the JDeveloper Reviewer Guide
http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/collateral/papers/10g/reviewer/reviewerguide.html
Look at the Struts sample of a login form.

Actions and form beans

1. i have a jsp page that maps to a form bean
2. the form bean extends action form
3. i have 4 drop downs in my form
4. on form load two drop downs are populated (no issues so far)
5. on changing the selection in one of the forms i have to go back to the database fetch the values for the next drop down
6. i have written a separate action class for this.
7. This action class makes my input (what ever done on the form so far) as null and does not even retain the value of the drop down.
8. An alternate method i tried out was to just call the form submit so that the same action class is called multiple times.
9. however this fires the validator written in the form bean.
10. i need to be able to fire the validator only after my form has been filled.
11. Any ideas

you can specify the submit 'property' for example you can have different submit values in different names
than you can use validwher or requiredif validation case depending on the submit button checked.

JSF Actions and ActionListeners with Tiles and forms

I�m having a problem trying to use the Tiles functionality in Struts 1.1 with JSF and was wondering if anyone could help me.
I have defined a very simple header, menu, content Tile that doesn�t involve nesting of tiles (ExampleTile_content1Level.jsp).
I have 3 JSP pages, the first testHarness.jsp is NOT built using Tiles and is just used to load some test data into a session scoped bean using an actionListener and then forward to a Tile generated page (ExampleTile3.jsp) using a hard-coded action �applicationSummary� when a commandLink is pressed. This works fine for both the action and actionListener.
ExampleTile3.jsp contains another commandLink that is meant to forward to another tile ExampleTile2.jsp. This also works until I try to add the <h:form> � </h:form> tag around the outside of the <h:panelGrid> tags in ExampleContent1.jsp when the action and actionListener then fail to fire and I get an �Error on Page� message in Explorer the detail of which says �Error �com_sun_rave_web_ui_appbase_renderer_CommandLinkRendererer� is null or not an object�.
However I need a form so that I can bind UI controls to data from the bean stored in the session scope. This is only a problem when I use Tiles to define the pages. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Tiles.xml
   <definition name="example3" path="/pages/exampleTile_content1Level.jsp" >

Hi everybody,
I want to overload a method so it can take either 2 Actions, 2 ActionListeners, or one of each. The issue with this is that I'd have to make 4 overloaded signatures and almost identical methods, like this:
method( action, action )
method( action, listener )
method( listener, action )
method( listener, listener )
Well, if you want to support that then you are just going to have to do suffer through it, the only shortcut I can recommend is that your method(action, listener) and method(listener, action) are the same so you only have to implement 1 and just use the other as a entry point to call the one you wish to contain the code.

Can anyone help me? thanks.

It is probably easier to do with with a standard tag than the <html:button> tag, as it means you can nest the
<input type="button" name="more" value="more" onclick="setID(<bean:write name="bloodbankList" property="id"/>)"/>or maybe like this:
<bean:define id="bbId" name="bloodbankList" property="id"/>
<html:button property="More" value="More" style="color: #00007D; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 2pt; background-color: #6B719C; border: 2 solid #00007D"   onclick="<%= "setID(" + id + ");" %>" />Cheers,

Internal links in portal (CSS, images, and other struts actions)

Good morning gurus! I have another question regarding Struts Portlets. We have an application that builds a page with an image that comes from the database. The application is composed of two Struts actions. One that's in charge of drawing the page and the other action is in charge of bringing the image from the database. The second action is called from a JSP (img src="/getImage.do"). In portal, once the portlet rendered the JSP it doesn't recongnize the other links inside the JSP (the call to the second action). Also, other links suchs as images, CSS, and others Struts actions are not recognized. How can I access images, links, and CSS from the main application (the actual application).
Best regards,
Marcelo Oliva

Hi Andrew -
This is a pretty big topic for one thread ... I will try to provide some pointers on where to look for more information.
1. Need ability for non-html literate authors to update text, images and links on their portion of a shared web page
In the following whitepaper, see the section: Associated Funtion for Item Display
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/pdf/oow_10gr2_1336_fender.pdf
This will allow you to prompt your non-HTML literate users for the "parts" to display and you worry about the UI.
2. Need ability to enforce common look and feel on content provided by non-html literate authors.
Create pages based on Templates. Templates can force the style on users. Again - do not use text items and the RTE for users, you control the display with an Associated Function.
3. Prefer ability to approve content before it goes live.
Grant content contributors "Manage with Approval" access
5. Need advanced search capabilities
Check out the search section on Portal OTN
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/content_management_10gr2.html
Hope this helps,
Candace

Authorization issue on hire action through HCM Process and Forms

Hi All,
We are executing hiring action through HCM form process. The process is using the HR_PL_ADMINISTRATOR role on ECC which is super admin access to execute the action and HR administrator role on the portal. If we restrict the role with personal area, we do not see the hire process on the portal.
Could you please let me know if anyone has faced this issue?
Thanks,
Gowri

Thanks for responding back. I have seen the link before.
We have HR_PL_ADMINISTRATOR_000 role. The role has P_ASRCONT P_ORGIN and P_PERNR object. Object P_ORGIN needs to be set as
Authorization level            Read
Infotype                           *
Personnel Area                *
Employee Group              *
Employee Subgroup         *
Subtype                           *
Organizational Key            *
in order to show the Hire Process in execute hiring link on the Portal. If we put a restriction on personal area, we do not see the Hire process on the execute hiring on the portal.
Kindly advice.
Thanks,
Gowri

Struts Actions and events in one jsp?!

Hello,
I have a problem with Struts actions and events in a jsp.
It is a search page and when the user clicks the search button I trigger an event and when the user clicks on a link in the result table (same page) I use an action that opens a new detail jsp. The first search query works well, I get a result, open the detail page, go back (using an action).
Then I start a new search, but struts tries to open the detail page. While debugging I found out, that struts apparantly has no action or event. Why does it work at first time?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Britta

Thanks for answer,
I work with actions AND events. I think that`s the problem. When I go back from detail page to search page I use a custom DataForwardAction class with the following method:
public void onCancel(DataActionContext ctx)
DCBindingContainer bc = ctx.getBindingContainer();
HttpServletRequest request = ctx.getHttpServletRequest();
WebUtils.setSession(request);
String ziel = request.getParameter("ziel");
JUCtrlActionBinding action = (JUCtrlActionBinding) bc.findCtrlBinding("Rollback");
action.doIt();
try
ctx.setActionForward(ziel);
catch (Exception e)
ctx.setActionForward("liste_freig");
Ziel has the correct value ("search") and I think the struts config is also correct:
<action path="/material" type="view.actions.materialAction" className="oracle.adf.controller.struts.actions.DataActionMapping" parameter="/material.jsp" name="DataForm">
<set-property property="modelReference" value="generalUIModel"/>
<forward name="liste_freig" path="/liste_freig.do"/>
<forward name="liste_angelegt" path="/liste_angelegt.do"/>
<forward name="list_bewertet" path="/list_bewertet.do"/>
<forward name="liste_abgelehnt" path="/liste_abgelehnt.do"/>
<forward name="liste_onhold" path="/liste_onhold.do"/>
<forward name="search" path="/search.do?action=search"/>
</action>
But when I get back from material page to search page (the first time it works). The location pathname is material.do not search.do When start a new search the material page opens, not, as desired, the search page with new results.
Search Action:
public class searchAction extends DataForwardAction
public searchAction()
protected void prepareModel(DataActionContext ctx) throws Exception
HttpServletRequest request = ctx.getHttpServletRequest();
DataActionMapping acmap = ctx.getActionMapping();
DCBindingContainer bc = ctx.getBindingContainer();
WebUtils.setSession(request);
JUCtrlActionBinding action = (JUCtrlActionBinding) bc.findCtrlBinding("delSearchQuery");
action.doIt();
String sEvent=null;
try
sEvent=request.getParameter("event");
catch (Exception e)
sEvent=null;
if (sEvent==null)
if (request.getParameter("action") != null)
if (request.getParameter("action").equals("material"))
Number mat_no=new Number(request.getParameter("MaterialNumber"));
Number userId=new Number(WebUtils.getUserId(request));
bc = ctx.getBindingContainer();
action = (JUCtrlActionBinding) bc.findCtrlBinding("prepareMaterial");
ArrayList arrayList= new ArrayList();
arrayList.add(0,mat_no);
arrayList.add(1,userId);
action.setParams(arrayList);
action.doIt();
ctx.setActionForward("material");
if (request.getParameter("action").equals("material_datasheet"))
ctx.setActionForward("material_datasheet");
super.prepareModel(ctx);
public void onSearch(DataActionContext ctx)
DCBindingContainer bc = ctx.getBindingContainer();
HttpServletRequest request = ctx.getHttpServletRequest();
WebUtils.setSession(request);
ctx.setActionForward("search");
Struts config:
<action path="/search" className="oracle.adf.controller.struts.actions.DataActionMapping" type="view.actions.searchAction" name="DataForm" parameter="/search.jsp">
<set-property property="modelReference" value="searchUIModel"/>
<forward name="search" path="/search.do?action=search"/>
<forward name="material" path="/material.do?action=material"/>
<forward name="material_datasheet" path="/material_datasheet.do?action=material_datasheet"/>
</action>
I think it`s a Struts bug. Or is there something I don`t see?

HCM Process and Forms Dynamic Actions

Hi
We are implementing HCM process and forms and presume that dynamic actions will have to be recreated as rules.
Can anyone give any guidance in this area as some of our dynamic actions are quite complex.
Many thanks
Ian

Hi,
For HR forms please follow the following link
HCM Processes and Forms (www.service.sap.com/erp: - SAP ERP Human Capital Management -> Workforce Process Management -> HCM Processes and Forms -> Media Library)
https://websmp205.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=00200797470000081848&
A dynamic action has the following components.
Infotype Number (INFTY): specifies the infotype for which you want the dynamic action triggered
Subtype (SUBTY): narrows the focus to a specific subtype
Field Name (FIELDN): starts your action when a maintenance function is performed on a particular field
Function (FC): specifies the various maintenance operations to which your dynamic action would respond. They are 02 (change); 04 (create); 06 (create and change); 08 (delete); 10 (change and delete); 12 (create and delete). Dynamic actions are only applicable in maintenance operations, not in display functions.
Sequence Number (NO): refers to a sequential number.
Step (A): specifies a particular type of action. No dynamic action is executed if the function character has a value other than one of the following:
             P: Plausibility checks, which allow you to check certain conditions.
             I: Calls an infotype for processing
             W: Called after the I statement and used to assign values to screen fields while creating or copying another infotype record through the I statement
              F: Calls a FORM routine (subroutines in ABAP) during your action. The routine may reside in or out the module pool MPNNNN00.
             V: Lets you treat collectively a number of fields for which you want to define a common dynamic action
              M: Sends SAP Office mail
Variable function part: The variable function part along with the step indicator forms the core part of your action. It specifies the processing details when the dynamic action is triggered. For example:
Requirement: When the postal code or the city of an employeeu2019s permanent residence is changed in infotype 0006, an email should be sent to the administrator.
INFTY    SUBTY    FIELDN    FC          NO.    STEP       VARIABLE FUNCTION
0006           1             ORT01      06             001           V               PSTLZ
0006           1             PSTLZ      06             002           M               M0001
The V statement on line 001 is used to link the two fields to the M statement. The statements relevant to field PSTLZ are also applicable to the ORT01 field.
When a record is created or changed in infotype 0006 of permanent address, an email is sent using the feature M0001. Information such as the recipient address, subject, and content of the mail is derived from M0001.

I'm confused with the struts.action and those in the actions package-help

hi all
looking at the struts framework particularly the org.apache.struts.actions package, i am a bit of confused as to which abstract action class i need to extend in my application. is there any guideline that shows in what scenario i will need to extend which action? how would i ever know the purpose of each one and how and when to extend it?
and also i am even more confused when i saw org.apache.struts.action.action class. doesn't this one handle all? most tutorials i have seen reference this class. why do we have others in the actions package?
your help is much appreicated . thanks.

Simple actions just extend org.apache.struts.action.Action.
Those actions in the org.apache.struts.actions package are utility Actions that provide you with extra functionality.
The [url http://struts.apache.org/api/org/apache/struts/actions/package-summary.html]struts api describes the basics of each one.
Commoonly used ones that (to me) are of more interest:
ForwardAction is pretty much just a placeholder that lets you specify a url to forward to when you don't want to write an entire Action.
Dispatch action (and its siblings LookupDispatchAction, MappingDispatchAction) are most interesting because they let you use the same action for multiple events.
In effect it is writing multiple "execute" methods in one action. The Dispatch action determines which one to call. It is useful for writing CRUD actions and keeping all that code in one class.
Hope this helps some,

Struts current page action and parent action

what is the difference if the action for current page and parent page action is the same or not same? when I should use the same action and when I need to use different actions?
thanks

For this approach you can use PhaseListener for RESTORE_VIEW phase and in the afterPhase method chech the viewId and navigate to the relevant page.

HCM Processes and Forms: Work Item is not opening

Hi,
We are implementaing HCM processes and forms using NWBC (EHP7 - HR Renewal 2.0 FP1) and after using configuration of POWL inbox for MSS and HR Admin, We are not able to launch the Work Item.
1) In MSS Work Book, while launching, we are getting message -
Failed to resolve Object Based Navigation target ".MSS_WL.NAVIGATE_FORM_WD". Use transaction PFCG to define this OBN target in a role or contact your system administrator to assign a role with the relevant OBN entries to your user.
2) For HR Admin, we are getting message - Work Item can only be open using Portal and UWL. and it is displaying back end transaction SWNWIEX.
Detail configuration steps are shown as below -
Workflow Task used in configurations -
1) Entries in IBO_C_WF_TA_P_SC (Assign Task ID’s to POWL Types)
2) IBO_C_WF_ACC configuration - (Define Tasks and Actions)
3) IBO_C_WF_APC configuration (Provide Details of navigation parameters)
4) IBO_V_WF_TTAC (Assignment of Actions to the Tasks)

Hidden Buttons and Forms Printing CS6

I'm not exactly sure how to word this but I have buttons and forms that are printing when they are not supposed to.
This is my indd file:
If you can see, there are 3 sections, each identical except for the fact that they have different states. If someone wants Hat 2 section, there is a button that turns on the visibility of 2 combo boxes, a text box, 6 check boxes, some normal buttons (just text and art, but they need to be buttons in order to activated with an action), and toggles the view of another button that can add another hat... kinda hard to explain, but think of it like an online form. If you need more info, clicking the button add another row.
The issue that I'm having is that I do not want the forms that are not being used to be printed. If I don't toggle their visibility, they should be invisible and not print. This form could have anywhere from 1-20 of the forms being used at different times. They are all set to be hidden until triggered and they do exactly what I want them to and it works perfectly, until I go to print.
This is my exported pdf:
One row of info, the button to add a second.
Here is what it looks like when I go to print this without touching anything:
As you can see in the preview screen, all of the rows that I have made in the indd file are being shown as set to print. This should not be happening, but I figured maybe it was a glitch so I printed it anyway, and this came out:
..... Now you can see my issue. Maybe. Hopefully.
HOWEVER. If I so modify the document, e.g. clck on the "add hat" button and then remove it, the document prints as it should. The problem is that this document will need to be set up so that the entire page is filled with invisible forms that are just waiting to be activated, but not printed.
Wow that's a lot of info. Hopefully I was clear. Thanks for reading this all if you're still with me.

I initially jumped to that same conclusion that it was probably a bug in the forms as they are a new feature, but they are not the only objects that are misbehaving. There are only 3 forms in each of the sections and 14 normal buttons, so how can it be an issue with the forms? If that was the probelm, they would be the only objects that were printing incorrectly, unless there is some attribute that would apply the form's settings to all buttons... but I don't know how that's possible.
@jeffrey_smith
I tried exporting it as an idml originally, and just tried again since the file has been modified but it didn't make a diffrence in the print. Also, I just created a new very simple test document with just 4 buttons, one that shows the other 3 and it has the exact problem that my document with all of the forms has. So it can't be a corruption in my file, it has to be a broader issue.

Dynamic actions and PA-PD integration a problem

Are you aware of an update problem with MSS and PA-PD integration? This information was made available in a presentation to us last year. Was this issue resolved in mySAP ERP 2004?
Dynamic actions and PA-PD integration a problem
Dynamic actions and PA-PD integration are not
processed on updates made from the web (but in the
background through a batch or call transaction session)
Thats why most standard PCRs require HR to process
the transaction using the SAP GUI in the foreground
This normally affects changes to infotypes 0000 &
0001
Then the next slide states:
Workaround for dynamic actions
Review dynamic actions in table T588Z (use SE16 to
display) and document the infotypes and values that
trigger dynamic actions
Incorporate those infotypes into your background
processing and web forms (if necessary)
Workaround for PA-PD integration
Include the integration steps for these infotypes in your
background processing (just as in conversions)

Hi John,
Not sure if it is fixed.. or can be fixed.. we are still in 47 & Use custom code to account for Dynamic Actions.. the PCR processes use the function module HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA to update the infotypes. This function mimics a BDC & hence cannot handle Dynamic Actions... Basically, the issue is not with MSS but it is the way Dynamic Actions work.. to quote SAP "Dynamic actions are not correctly processed in batch input sessions since in batch input the sequence of the screens needs to be predefined correctly. To be able to process dynamic actions in batch input, the checks of the dynamic actions need to be programmed when creating the batch input session. To avoid errors when programming and running the session, the static actions only are processed in batch input. Calls of infotypes that are triggered by dynamic actions should be realized by separate Transaction calls.
Please take a look at OSS Note #386027 for additional info about Dynamic Actions.

Suresh Datti

Forwarding to an action using the struts framework

hey people,
in struts we write something like
<forward name="abc" path="/xyz.do" contextRelative="true"/>
for an action
and to forward to that action we use
return mapping.findForward("abc");
My problem is that i want to forward to the action xyz.do action without specifying the forward tag in struts config i.e without giving
<forward name="abc" path="/xyz.do" contextRelative="true"/>
any idea how i can forward to the action directly without giving the above tag. also i dont want to give the forward tag in global forwards.

you want to forward to another action without declaring that forward in the struts config? we use MVC frameworks to avoid having to write all that sort of code. what are you trying to achieve that can't be done by configuring the forward?
