JSF forward to old Struts action

Hi, The application which I'm working on is using Struts. However, the tendancy is to migrate to JSF. We are trying to include a bit JSF in our old Struts app.
For the moment this is done like this:
A Struts action is forwarded to a JSF page by specifying this in the struts-config.xml. This works: the JSF page is showed successfully.
However, when we want to 'submit' the JSF, which is specified in the faces-config.xml like this:
<navigation-case>
           <from-action>#{Page.theAction}</from-action>
           <from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
           <to-view-id>/ourFile.do</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>This results in a 404: page not found. When using a browser and navigating to http://<server:port>/<AppRoot>/ourFile.do this file does exists.
Any idea why faces doesn't know this?
Thx

Sorry for reopening an old thread but now i'm stuck with a similar problem.
Actually i want to redirect to a struts application from my jsf application
for this i'm doing
String url="http://localhost:8080/strutsApp/strutsLogin.do";
res.sendRedirect(url);
this works fine and sends me to the login page.
But i intend to break the login page and enter the welcome page as i'm trying to implement SSO in my application.
Can any one guide me plz????????????????????

struts:action vs go Questions

Hello,
Can someone help me a little with the functional differences between <struts:action> and <go> in an event handler?
In the �Complete ADF UIX Application�� tutorial a forward link is always created and then the <go> element is used. In looking at the struts-config file these forwards simply seem to be pointers to the actual struts action to be performed.
My question: If I use <struts:action> and not <go> do I need the forward link anymore? If so, why.. what nefarious purpose does it exist for beyond �forwarding� to an actual struts action?
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,
As Bud said the Go element is used to navigate and is an abstraction, meaning that if you set the name to "goHere" in a Model 2 environment it will look for an edge called "goHere", and if you are using Model 1 it will look for a uix page called "goHere.uix". You cannot GO to an action the Go element has to point a forward.
The <struts:action> tag is part of a legacy from JDeveloper 9.0.3 (UIX 2.1) and will eventually be de-supported. The <struts:action> tag is intended to be set to /Action.do
Thanks, Jonas

Can commandLink call a strut action?

Hi,
My project have existing code written in JSP and Strut framework. But, I like JSF better and would like to reuse some of the existing JSP/Strut code in JSF.
Does anyone know that whether JSF can call a strut action via commandLink
For example, the snippet below will call xyz.do, which is a strut action.
<h:commandLink id="xyx" action="xyz.do" value="XYZ" immediate="true" />
Thanks

You can indeed call a struts action from a plain form but the action needs to exist and be assigned to the specified url.

Forwarding struts action onto servlet....

...that delivers a file back to the client. I have an action that forwards onto a servlet that serves a PDF - the servlet works fine when accessed on its own, but when it is called from the struts action I get the browser download box appear but with the filename of the struts action, ie. 'MyAction.do' and not file type set.
Has anyone tried this before and had any success?
Thanks.

Thanks, got that in though...
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename="+outputFilename);
It seems as if struts is controlling the output to a certain extent (e.g. the filename for download is 'Action.do' rather than my servlet response) even though I've forwarded onto a servlet where I set the above http response headers.

Call struts action from javascript?

Hi all
I'm having problem already discussed here quite a lot, but I have idea to solve it different way. And need to know is it possible or I'm doing mission impossible here :(
I have JSP with 2 drop down lilsts, where the second is populated according to selected value from first - that's basically my problem.
Is it possible to somehow only call my struts action which will return all needed values using javascript and onchange event handler?
I dont have any experience with javascript, and I'm trying to avoid it as much as possible at the moment.
Thanks in advance

well as far your requirement is concern if at all you are planning to implement AJAX try to use the below link which might be of some help...
http://www.it-eye.nl/weblog/2005/12/13/ajax-in-struts-implementing-dependend-select-boxes/
However,I somehow feel there are few loopholes in the author's approach...
i advice to use XmlHttpRequest.reponseXML property there.
However, i've mentioned a sample code snippet for you reference.

NOTE: I understand i'm not completely coded things as per proper coding standards.please execuse me for that as this example was just given to enable user to learn how XmlHttpRquest,reponseXML
can be used for better purposes instead of devising manual parsing.
where i've used XmlHttpResponse pattern to be in XML. you may make use of other practices like JSON & so on depending on your requirement..
and and if you are more instrested in integrating Struts with AJAX using few frameworks & customized tag based support please go though the below link.

Hope that might help :)

How to call struts action manually in onchange property???

Hello!
action defined in struts-config.xml:
<action path="/editLafLm" className="oracle.adf.controller.struts.actions.DataActionMapping" type="oracle.adf.controller.struts.actions.DataForwardAction" name="DataForm" parameter="/editLafLm.jsp">
<set-property property="modelReference" value="editLafLmUIModel"/>
<forward name="Submit" path="/viewLaf.do"/>
</action>
In my JSP the following form:
<html:form action="/editLafLm.do" target="laf" onsubmit="self.close();">
<input type="hidden" name="<c:out value='${bindings.statetokenid}'/>" value="<c:out value='${bindings.statetoken}'/>"/>
<html:select property="StaId1">
<html:optionsCollection label="prompt" value="index" property="StaId1.displayData"/>
</html:select>
<c:out value="${bindings.editingMode}"/>
<input name="event_Submit" type="submit" value=" OK "/>
</html:form>
When i click choose an entry from the Select list and then click the Submit Button all works well (the action forward goes to viewLaf.do)
But i want to use the "onchange" property on the select list:
<html:select property="StaId1" onchange="submit();">
This is not the same as pressing the Submit button because here the action editLafLm.do is done in a new window (and then i have to click the submit button)...
So can i call the action or the action forward manually in the onchange-property so that there is the same behavour as clicking on the submit button???
Thanks
Markus

Markus,
You can use the click method on the submit button called "event_Submit". The trick is to access it in the elements array of the form.
So instead of:
<html:select property="StaId1" onchange="submit();">you will have
<html:select property="StaId1" onchange="elements[n].click();">where n is the correct index of the 'event_Submit' element in the array of form elements.
If you need to access the form by name you can always count the form name to be DataForm. So from the document it will be:
document.forms.DataForm.elements[8].click()Charles.

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?

Hi,
As per your actions above I believe you have already found SAP Note 435363.
Basically for a struts application there are no special requirements other than
1. Make a reference to the inqmyxmltoolkit from the application that is going to use struts before the deployment
2. Put the struts library into WEB-INF/lib of the application (struts can't be shared among applications)
3. Deploy the application
For making the reference you can:
1. Telnet to the Engine (if you run it as a service and do not have access to its shell directly)
If telnet port on the Engine dispatcher is 2323
telnet localhost 2323
2. Jump to the server node
for example if the application node's cluster id is 4001
jump 4001
3. Execute the commands
add deploy
changeref -m MyApplication library:inqmyxml
So if it does not work, then I see two reasons possible:
1. You are using a really old version of the 6.20 Engine - check if you are on PL41.
2. You have misspelled the name of your application in the reference. The names are case sensitive so you need to be careful. MyApplication is not the same as myApplication or myapplication.

JSF initialization question (Former Struts coder...)

We've been a Struts shop for quite a while, however our latest applications will be done in JSF (Spring, Hibernate, and JSF actually...)
We use j_security_check for container managed authentication. Typically what would happen is a struts action called Init.do will be called (via the welcome file list in web.xml) when the web app is first used. This action (session scoped Action Class) takes the userid and password from the j_security_check process, and stick it to a UserManager class that we have. The Init.do action will in turn "call" another action called defaultHome.do
This all happens even before the very first page, home.jsp is rendered. So I guess in a sense, this is all initialization code.
I am looking to do something something similar in JSF (...or Spring) but I am completely lost! :-(
So something like this:
1) j_security_check
2) Some type of initialization process that takes the userid and password, run queries on the DB, get groups, preferences, currencies, etc, and stick the information (or class) into the session. (Session scoped bean?)
3) home.jsp can then be displayed.
So basically #2 is what I am lost at.
Any help is much appreciated. I feel beyond this, I can take it and run. It's just that this part has me lost!!!
Thanks!!!
Nick

If you have access to HttpSession, you can just create a bean yourself and put it in there with the managed bean name as key.
Besides, you can also consider to do the j_security_check login using JSF+Spring: [http://ocpsoft.com/java/acegi-spring-security-jsf-login-page/]. This way you can just do it "the usual JSF way" in the managed bean action method.

Can we call the pure java variable into the struts action class?

Hi Everybody,
I have created the binary tree data structure in java,Could I use the value of the variable called value in the struts action class?,pls help me thro ur reply.I have attached the java code here.Thanks in Advance
package com.recipes.wizard.common;
public class BinaryTreeTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    new BinaryTreeTest().run();
static class Node {
    Node left;
    Node right;
    int value;
    public Node(int value) {
      this.value = value;
public void run() {
    Node root = new Node(5);
    System.out.println("Binary Tree Example");
    System.out.println("Building tree with root value " + root.value);
    insert(root, 1);
    insert(root, 8);
    insert(root, 6);
    insert(root, 3);
    insert(root, 9);
public void insert(Node node, int value) {
    if (value < node.value) {
      if (node.left != null) {
        insert(node.left, value);
      } else {
        System.out.println(" Inserted " + *value* + " to left of "
            + node.value);
        node.left = new Node(value);
    else if (value > node.value) {
      if (node.right != null) {
        insert(node.right, value);
      } else {
        System.out.println(" Inserted " + *value* + " to right of "
            + node.value);
        node.right = new Node(value);
      if(node.value==1)
           System.out.println("The value is one");
         int output=node.value;
           System.out.println(output);
}

Hi,
You can change the filter with the new cost element variable,Or you can assign the value of the new variable(if of same type)to old cost element ,but for that assignment again u have to change planning function which you don't want.

Jean,
Your struts-config.xml is not correct. You should not have a terminator after:
input="/untitled1.jsp"/>
instead it should be:
input="/untitled1.jsp">
As a result the mapping was never found...
Also your class names need to be package prefixed:
type="mypackage9.ActionForm1"
That will get you started.
You can use the XML syntax checker with right-click menu on the xml node in the navigator.

Also, suggest if you are having a problem in Jdev environment,
posting on the Jdeveloper forum might be more appropriate.
