Help on MVC programming model

Hey,
I've searched the web over and over on MVC models, and so far what I can find on MVC models is abstract texts without hands-on examples.
Some do have examples, but they are scattered, and I get confused.
I've looked over MVC on Java site, and kinda got the picture, yet also got overwhelmed by all the info.
Is MVC something the programmer has to do, or is it more or less automated by an IDE ? As I understand so far MVC is a product of conscious programming, and there are no automated tools.., yet some websites sound that there are tools that help you build in MVC.
Is there a hands-on tutorial or a simple example on what MVC actually is ?
thanks !

Help with MVC plz!

I'm attempting to use Swing components to implement a MVC GUI component.
It's quite simple, a JFrame contains a Jtree and a JButton. When I click the button I want the model of the JTree to be changed in some way. The changing of the model would then force the view to update itself. I've been trying to get this to work for a day or two and have had no luck.
Does anyone out there have any simple examples of a simple MVC component that I could see to get a better understanding of what's going on.
Thx

maybe this is relevant, in javadocs for AbstractTableModel,
fireTableStructureChanged
public void fireTableStructureChanged()
Notifies all listeners that the table's structure has changed. The number of columns in the table, and the names
and types of the new columns may be different from the previous state. If the JTable receives this event and its
autoCreateColumnsFromModel flag is set it discards any table columns that it had and reallocates default
columns in the order they appear in the model. This is the same as calling setModel(TableModel) on the
JTable.

TableModelEvent, EventListenerList

Help with MVC

Hi,
I am trying to understand the MVC pattern in particular the difference between the controller and the view. I was under the impression that the view was the GUI, but after researching it appears that the controller is the GUI as it makes changes to the model via buttons and textfields.
Surely the GUI would be built in one class that implements Observer interface so am I correct in saying that in some cases the view and controller are in the same class?
Thanks for your advice

My understanding is that if an executive entity manipulates application logic that entity
should be called controller. So,
[Controller] e.g. event handler
^
v
[Model] e.g. TableModel
^
v
[View] e.g. JTable == event generator
Some of Java documentation says that in Java V and C are in a sinble GUI entity.
I somehow disagree becuase contorller, e.g. event handler, is pluggable on any
GUI component.

MVC Design Help, Single Servlet, How do I access the Model and DB

Hi all. New here and looking for some help.
I am currently writing a website that allows the creation of users, that may upload articles and post comments on articles. Im trying to develop using MVC. I have a single controller servlet that processes POST actions throughout the site (eg. InsertArticle, DeleteArticle, ModifyArticle, etc..)
Now my problem is, just how do I retrieve the articles from the database? .. for example, if I load up a page http://localhost/articles.jsp which should display all the articles currently in the site.. I would have a function say getAllArticles() which should return a collection of all the articles. I can then iterate through the articles in the jsp page.
I am trying to use <jsp:useBean...etc.> BUT.. my articles bean constructor takes a databaseconnection object as a parameter. If I use useBean I cant pass the databaseconnection object to the bean and I get an error because it cannot create the bean.
Any help on this would be appreciated as well as any tutorial links. I also looked at the petstore blueprint program on the sun website, but that program has me completely lost with all the xml. I would prefer not to use custom tags or struts for now. I would like to keep it simple with snippets of java code in the jsp pages for data retrieval and display while keeping all the business logic in the beans of the model. I would also like to keep this relatively secure. I am developing using Oracle Jdeveloper 10g.
Thanks
Jazz

Hey steve, thanks for that.. but thats exactly what i
dont want to do. I also realize that ive been writing
the ejb's incorrectly to begin with and have begun to
rewrite them. However maybe I can make it easier..
what im trying to do is precisely what is in this
diagram..
http://gsraj.tripod.com/jsp/jsp.html
the problem im having is where it passes data back to
the jsp page.. entity beans cant (or shouldnt?) be
accessed directly from jsp pages.. which means i
create a session bean which interacts with the entity
bean and can return information to the jsp page.. i
understand what i have to do.. i just dont know how to
do it.. been searching for google for tutorials and
etc.. this site is the closest ive come but .. as you
can see it says "more to come" ..
thanks again guys really appreciate itAhhh. EJBs. Enterprise Java Beans and JavaBeans are two completely different beasts. I know nothing about EJBs, except:
1) They are much harder to use (and serve a different purpose I assume) then JavaBeans
2) Tomcat (the server I use) doesn't support them.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

How to program navigation in a MVC application? (help please!!)

Hi,
I´m exploring how to develop a BSP application with MVC.
SO far I have a ´page´ composed by a controller, 2 or more sub-controllers and their respective views.
But I want an application consisting of many pages.. So here I am, in my DO_HANDLE_EVENT method wandering what to do when I want to redirect the user to a new page. I guess there´s two options here:
1) change the subcontrollers/views for the new one. (using controller_set_active or controller_delete..?)
2) redirecting to the new page with navigation->goto_page( 'page2.do' ).
I like the second option, but there´s a problem: all my model instances die!! How can I keep them alive? How can I keep data (objects) alive from the moment a user opens the first page till he logs off the aplication??
(I tried using the application class, but I just can´t access it using MVC, guess it´s only available from pages with flow logic)
I truly need a hint on this! Any suggestions are most welcomed!

Hi Mariana,
I think the most important advice is to never jump
directly via goto_page(). As you have noted, this way
you lose your context. Myself I use the following
approach:
1) There is a strict controller hierarchy. The topmost
   controller holds your application data.
2) In the view of the topmost controller its
   subcontrollers are called via
      <bsp:call url="sub.do" comp_id="yourchoicehere" >
               <bsp:parameter name = "mode"
                              value = "<%=mode%>" />
      </bsp:call>
   where "mode" is an attribute of the view which holds
   the information in which state of processing your
   application is.
3) In the controllers in the DO_REQUEST methods
   you call its views by
   dispatch_input( ).
   l_main_view = create_view( view_name = 'main_view.htm' ).
l_main_view->set_attribute( name = 'mode' value = mode ).
call_view( l_main_view ).
The dispatch_input method is only needed in the
topmost controllers.
4) Navigation is done by events which are passed
   automatically to the DO_HANDLE_EVENT method of
   the controller.
   IF htmlb_event IS BOUND.
      CASE htmlb_event->server_event.
        WHEN 'YOUREVENTHERE'.
5) To understand how things work you should set
   breakpoints in all DO_HANDLE_EVENT and DO_REQUEST
   methods. You will see how events got passed upwards
   the controller hierarchy and how controllers call
   their subcontrollers.
6) Further hint: Pass all parameters by controller
   and view attributes.
Hope that helps.
Joachim

MVC DataSet to Model Help Needed

Primary Question: I need help to efficiently go from a dataset directly into a model (not a list).
I know the code for generating a list to model, but I can't find an efficient way to just input the first matching record into the model.
Any help is appreciated!
Below is the code that works, but is very inefficient. The inefficiency is causing problems because I need to program a lot of data retrieval while I'm rewriting the whole system.
Bonus Question... I can't get the list result to sort by UPPER(lastname). It generates the error
Error [42S22] [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]SQL: Column " is not found.
// CODE THAT WORKS BUT IS WAY TO INEFFICIENT
Studrec model = new Studrec();
DataSet dataset = new DataSet();
string Path2File = "Provider=MSDASQL/SQLServer ODBC;Driver={Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver};SourceType=DBF;Exclusive=No;Collate=Machine;NULL=NO;DELETED=YES;BACKGROUNDFETCH=NO;SourceDB=\\\\LocalServer\\Students\\DBFS";

from studrec.dbf order by lastname, first where studid like '%" + @studId.Trim() + "%'";
using (OdbcCommand cmd = new OdbcCommand(sql, cn))
cn.Open();

DataAdapter.Fill(dataset);

Help on getting started with Spring MVC, WebFlow; Where can it be applied ?

I'm an individual programmer, developer and I see a huge demand (at the corporate level) for the frameworks: Spring, Spring MVC, webflow, and Hibernate. Popular today: Spring MVC, webflow, GWT.
I've been going through the tutorials, and the technology looks awesome ! What I would like to know, is.. It's used in corporate sites, why not for smaller sites. How can I apply these frameworks in building websites ?
I can't imaging doing any kind of serious website building without a modern CMS or Portal framework (whether in Java/php-opensource), And yes, MVC gives you the validation and authentication hooks to be used.
The spring framework, with it's extensive scope, is a bit overwhelming, and implies that there could be a significant amount of architecture, design and planning time needed before starting implementation on a project
All the demo's on Spring, cover some elementary, contrived example.
If I learn these technologies (and I'm well on my way), how do I put them into practice, and in what context (no pun intented) do I use them ? I don't want to rebuild a CMS system, but I'd like to employ these frameworks effectively.

Unless you're using the frameworks to build a home page for your kittens. Then you usually don't need to put that much effort into it.
All the demo's on Spring, cover some elementary, contrived example.I'm sure you realize that they have to. There's no "follow these examples and you'll become a competent programmer" method of learning invented yet and frameworks usually need to document the basic cases extensively.
If I learn these technologies (and I'm well on my way), how do I put them into practice, and in what context (no pun intented) do I use them ? I don't want to rebuild a CMS system, but I'd like to employ these frameworks effectively.You'll just need to come up with a project you'll be interested in finishing or at least developing for a while.
I'm not sure whether I managed to answer your question or not, but if anything was left unclear, just ask.

If you can't divide the class then you can't implement an MVC design methodology.
This class is a giant mess and can be EASILY broken down into smaller classes. Seperate the visual components into their own classes. Create Model objects that contain the data behind your visual components.
Split up your giant ActionListener into several smaller more specialized actionlisteners and create a Controller object that you can assign these listeners and models to. Allow the event handling to be done by the controller so it can propogate necessary data changes to the models, thus altering the Views.
Thats it in a nutshell. It is not an easy answer.

MVC 5 Database Help (calculations and input based on user input)

Hello all! I am learning MVC 5 database interactions. I would like to fill in certain database columns based on a calculation done on columns the user inputs. I am not having trouble getting user inputs into the database. I am wondering
about how to take 2 user input database values, make a calculation using them, and put the resulting number in its own column in the database.
So: after the user inputs price and lot price, I want the application to figure out the margin (price / lot price) and then input margin into the database. Here is what I have, but the calculation doesn't seem to input the result into my database.
Where am I going wrong? (margin is already a column in the database)
Thanks in advance!
publicActionResultCreate([Bind(Include
= "ID,Name,Price,Location,Color,LotPrice")]
Automobile automobile)
if(ModelState.IsValid)
db.Automobile.Add(automobile);
automobile.Margin = automobile.Price / automobile.LotPrice;
db.SaveChanges();
returnRedirectToAction("Index");
returnView(automobile);

MVC Help

Hi
I am new to designing, I am not able to confirm whether my design explained below is a valid or proper one, should I improve in any other place.
M - Stateless session bean having methods for insert, update, delete, view,
V - Jsps, html, js, images
C - A single servlet for a single JSP
Sample
addUserGroup.jsp on submit it redirects to UGACtrler populates javabean UsrGrp and instantiates UserGroupBean ejb and calls the corresponding method for inserting or updating.
updateUserGroup.jsp on submit it redirects to UGUCtrler populates javabean UsrGrp and instantiates UserGroupBean ejb and calls the corresponding method for inserting or updating.
and it goes for all database operations.
Please suggest me whether this is a proper way of doing it.
regards

Hi
In My design I used one jsp for one functionality and one servlet for each jsp as controller for that functionality and an EJB for all the functionalities. I saw more servlets coming into picture but I felt it will be easy to maintain and code also. I feel like if one servlet is used for all the functionalities, maintaining the code I felt it will be difficult.
addUser.jsp -> addUserServlet controller -> User EJB (create method)
viewUser.jsp -> ViewUserServlet controller -> User EJB (view method)
... etc
Any comments on this design is welcome. I will also learn something if this design in purely wrong.
regards

Open and display image in MVC layout

Hello!
I cant figure out how I shall do this in an MVC layout:
The program request user to open an image file that are then displayed in a JLabel
My setup at the moment resolve in a nullpointerexeption because it dont get any actual image file, but I dont understand what I have missed.
I can not post the whole code fo you to run because it is to big, so I post the part that are the most important. please have a look.
