JSF Struts Integration Action lost on submit

Hi All
I've been tearing my hair out with this one for half a day. I am producing a web app using struts and jsf in conjunction. I have succesfully used the integration library on several pages, so I know the framework is in place. However for the following page I can produce valuechange events and process them on a javascript submit, and perform a quick return render, but when I press the submit button, the action is not forwarded through to struts action.
The jsp page :
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="f" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="h" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-faces" %>

return (mapping.findForward("result"));
}Sorry about the massive posting but I thought it better to provide all the information relevant as currently I am at a bit of a loss.
I have placed debug points at all the accessible parts of code, but non are triggered, so it must be being bounced in the ActionListener either in Struts or Faces before it tries to get the action.
Any help would be really, really appreciated.
Yours thankfully,

Change you action from:
<s:form action="/redirectSelectSite">
To:
<s:form action="/redirectSelectSite.do">
So that your request gets processed by the Srtuts Controller. Assuming you have *.do mapped to your struts controller in web.xml.

Unable to get the "Submit a form" action working with Webmail: Gmail

I am attempting to create interactive PDF forms for the website which the end user will email back once filled out.
I have added a link to the form that runs the "Submit a form" action, this appears to work if you have a mail client installed, but if you specify Webmail "Gmail", the system appears to start the process with:
First asking you for the email account details to add
You are then asked to allow Adobe Acrobat permissions to your access your email account
It then attempts to create a draft message but fails with: "Error while creating message ..."
NB: I have logged into my Gmail account on the client PC and I am able to send emails.
Any ideas if this has a known problem and if a fix is available, without a fix it makes interactive PDF's a bit pointless?

Problems with file uploading servlet, the form action doesnt capture url

Hi, i have one problem. I am working on a project , i have created a servlet that takes uploaded files and processses them and links them back to user to download. The servlet works perfectly from my computer, I am using apache-tomcat-6.0.16 and java 1.6 , I have two forms called encrypt.html and decrypt.html, I will post both of them, now the problem is when somebody access it on the internet while i am running apache, they get a connection was reset on a firefox browser and same stuff on Internet Explorer.
i have checked my server logs and saw nothing unusual there, So please if you can help me, it is my project.
I am pasting html file and error message that other users where getting remotely.
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8'>
<title>Stego Form</title>
<link rel='STYLESHEET' type='text/css' href='encrypt.css'>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<form name='encrypt' enctype='multipart/form-data' method='POST' action='http://localhost:8080/examples/temp2
' accept-charset='UTF-8'>
<input type='hidden' name='sfm_form_submitted' value='yes'>
</input>
<input type='hidden' name='eord' value='e'>
<select name='encryption' size='1'>
         <option value='Select an encryption' selected>
         Select an encryption
         </option>
         <option value='DES'>
         DES
         </option>
         <option value='Tripple DES'>
         Tripple DES
         </option>
</select>
         <input type='file' name='overt' size='20'>

         <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit'>
</form>
</center>
</body>

Hi, thank you for your replies, I found out few things about my servlet, and its portability
and i have few questions, although i marked this topic as answered i guess its ok to post
I am using javax.servlet.context.tempdir to store my files in that servletcontext temporary directory. But i dont know how to give hyperlink
of the modified files to the user for them to download the modified files.
What i am using to get the tempdir i will paste
File baseurl = (File)this.getServletContext().getAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir");
System.out.println(baseurl);
baseurl = new File(baseurl.getAbsolutePath()+File.separator+"temp"+File.separator+"files");
baseurl.mkdirs();so i am storing my files in that temp/files folder and the servlet processes them and modifies them, then how to present them as
links to the user for download ?
and as the servlet is multithreaded by nature, if my servlet gets 2 different requests with same file names, i guess one of them will be overwritten
And i want to create unique directory for each request made to the servlet , so file names dont clash.
one another thing is that i want my servlet to be executed by my <form action> only, I dont want the user to simply type url and trigger the servlet
Reply A.S.A.P. please..
Thanks and regards,

How to send query string by using form action

Hai to all,
I am new to this topic Ihave one doubt about jsp form action....
That is I am using input type is submit button
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Edit" onclick="indows.location.href=+sample.jsp?query=+editvalue+editname">
If I get that queryString in the sample.jsp page it respoce to the null only...... what is the problem to this code ..... please send ur perfect coding as soon as possible. I really waiting for ur replay..........

Hai,
I think u can use the "request.getQueryString()" to get the query string instead of using "request.getParameter()".
From the query string value u can get the output.

The Referer[sic] request-header field allows the client to specify, for the server's benefit, the address (URI) of the resource from which the Request-URI was obtained (the "referrer", although the header field is misspelled.) The Referer request-header allows a server to generate lists of back-links to resources for interest, logging, optimized caching, etc. It also allows obsolete or mistyped links to be traced for maintenance. The Referer field MUST NOT be sent if the Request-URI was obtained from a source that does not have its own URI, such as input from the user keyboard.

OAM: Form based auth IIS6, problem with form action

This should be really simple, reading all the docs and forums, they all say that the form action should be
/access/oblix/apps/webgate/bin/webgate.dll
but this doesn't exist.
Virtual dir /access points to
c:\progfiles\netpoint\webcomponent\access
in there, there is no webgate folder under apps
I do find a webgate folder here:
c:\progfiles\netpoint\webgate\access\oblix\apps\webgate\bin\webgate.dll
I tried copying the webgate folder from the 2nd to the webcomponents one but getting a 404 when trying to access the webgate.dll. I can access a test.html file in that same folder.

Hi,
I believe the thread at Help with OAM Form login on IIS please should help.

Very big problem with JSF about FORM and "id=" for HTML form's elements and

I have discovered a very big problem with JSF about FORM and "id=" for HTML form's elements and java instruction "request.getParameterNames()".
Suppose you have something like this, to render some datas form a Java Beans :
<h:dataTable value="#{TablesDb2Bean.myDataDb2ListSelection}" var="current" border="2" width="50%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style="text-align: center">
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Name"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText id="nameTableDb2" value="#{current.db2_name_table}"/>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
Everything works fine...
Suppose you want to get the name/value pairs for id="nameTableDb2" and #{current.db2_name_table} to process them in a servlet. Here is the HTML generated :
<td><span <span class="attribute-name">id=<span class="attribute-value">"j_id_jsp_1715189495_22:0:nameTableDb2">my-table-db2-xxxxx</span></td>
You think you can use the java instructions :
Enumeration NamesParam = request.getParameterNames();
while (NomsParam.hasMoreElements()) {
String NameParam = (String) NamesParam.nextElement();
out.println("<h4>"++NameParam+ "+</h4>);
YOU ARE WRONG : request.getParameterNames() wants the syntax *name="nameTableDb2" but JSF must use id="nameTableDb2" for "<h:outputText"... So, you can't process datas in a FORM generated with JSF in a Servlet ! Perhaps I have made an error, but really, I wonder which ?

While I certainly appreciate ejb's helpful responses, this thread shows up a difference in perspective between how I read the forum and how others do. Author ejb is correct in advising you to stay inside JSF for form processing if form processing is what you want to do.
However, I detect another aspect to this post which reminds me of something Marc Andreesen once said when he was trying to get Netscape off the ground: "there's no such thing as bad HTML."
In this case, I interpret ungar's request as a new feature request. Can I phrase it like this?
"Wouldn't it be nice if I could render my nice form with JSF but, in certain cases, when I REALLY know what I'm doing" just post out to a separate servlet? I know that in this case I'll be missing out on all the nice validation, conversion, l10n, i18n, ajax, portlet and other features provided by JSF".
If this is the case, because it really misses the point of JSF, we don't allow it, but we do have an issue filed for it
https://javaserverfaces-spec-public.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=127
If you can't wait for it to be fixed, you could decorate the FormRenderer to fix what you want.
I have an example in my JSF book that shows how to do this decoration. http://bit.ly/edburnsjsf2

WebHelp stripping out form action

I have a form in my documentation where users may fill out questions, click a "Submit" button, and it is emailed to me. I remember testing this a few years ago and it worked great. Recently, someone contacted us to say he never heard back from his form. I then tested it, and it never was emailed to me. When I checked the HTML code, it's being stripped for some reason. I'm on the HTML tab, I type in the <form action="mailto..." > data. Then I click to the designer tab. When I click back to the HTML tab, it's gone! No sign of what I JUST typed! Here's the "naked" code:
</head>
<body>
<robohelp><form>
</robohelp>
<robohelp><div align=left></robohelp>
Where you see the <form>, I had just typed in the actual action part. It just disappears though. Further, the bottom part of the code, where the closing </form> tag is, that </form> disappears as well. I type it in, click off the tab, and get this:
<p><input type=submit name=submit value="Send to Us"><input type=reset name=reset value="Start Over"></p>
</body>
</html>
No </form> tag. Gone. I haven't even clicked Save or ANYTHING at this point. Any ideas why Robohelp would be stripping code like this? Much appreciated.

Hi there
By broken, I meant my crystal ball is broken (and sadly still is )

How to use html form actions and methods

Hi, I want to make a quick contact page using Edge. I used the following code in my creationComplete but had no luck. Any help?
var na = sym.$( "email" );
email.html( '<form action="send_mail.php" method="post"><input type="text" id="email" value="" />' );
var button = sym.$( "btn" );
button.html( '<input type="submit" value="Send" />' );

My understanding from your question is that you would like to programmatically (using LabVIEW) send input to and click a button on an existing HTML website, is that right?
If yes, then you can use ActiveX calls to embed a web browser into the front panel of your VI and then use its invoke node to input a text to a form or click a button. Another way is to use the lower-level TCP VIs in LabVIEW, but you need to understand HTTP protocols to successfully use this. See below examples to get started.
ActiveX
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-25396
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-12454
TCP VIs (HTTP)
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-2230
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3153
FYI, LabVIEW Internet Toolkit has been deprecated starting LabVIEW 2012, so it is not recommended to build a new application using that.
Hope this helps.

Htmlb form action

Hi,
I have a question about the "action" attribute of the htmlb form object. Is it a relative or absolute path that the action attribute expects?
<hbj:form action="nextjsp.jsp">
or
<hbj:form action="pagelet.jsp">
I've tried the JSPDynPage example from the PDK, and the switch statements don't work on my button click. I'm wondering how I can send my request to the correct JSP. Thanks!
-Vu

Hi Vu,
In this case you are using relative paths. An absolute path would look like:
... action="/nextjsp.jsp">
Please note this is the root of the webserver (your portal instance).
There are other tricks you can use like:
... action="../nextjsp.jsp">
(relative, one directory below current one)
Hope this helps.

Two form actions

hello again. i did a search and found a thread where someone
else asked if it was possible to have two form actions, but the
person who responded didn't say it was impossible, just that they
didn't need to.
i think i need to have two actions, unless someone can tell
me how to tell my formmail to also send the results to an ASP form
processor on a different website.
basically, my company started using a web-based lead
management program, and they want the results to go there as well
as the emails we get now. the website uses ASP to process the form,
and they provide the url you need to post to, plus hidden fields
you have to put in the form that tell it which account to post to.
it seems like the easiest solution would be to have two
actions on the form, but so far that doesn't appear to be possible,
and i'm just wondering if anyone has done it before and can tell me
how it's done.
thanks!

Would it be out of consideration to hire someone to do this
for you?
If not, then you would have to modify the formmail script to
POST the form's
data, including the additional values required, to the data
processing
script. On reflection, I'm not quite sure what would be the
best way to do
that - perhaps use the incoming POSTed data to populate form
fields and then
submit the populated form onload.

Is the form action will be called automatically if there is no SUBMIT

Hi there,
i have a JSP with form action set to an Action class. the form dont have any submits.
when i call the JSP the action class and and ActionForm are fetching the data displaying it on the same JSP(as i required).
i am new to struts. even after my application working i have doubt, when i call the JSP how the action is getting called and Form populating the data with out any submit on the form
Thanks
R

yes , you are right , my JSP has beans and forms and action class set up in
strut-config.xml.you say that so the strut-config.xml parsed and on server side and without submit the action class will be called
right?
can you point me to any document(particular to this concept)please?

How to hide specific form actions

We have a requirement from our authors to remove unwanted form actions. I assumed that this would be permission specific and went into the content-author group and removed read ability for those actions from under /libs/foundation/form/components/form/actions/
And yet they still appear.
Is there another location that I shouldbe setting the permissions or do these just show up regardless?

Hi,
It should works like you wrote by set proper permissions for a group of users, but I just chekced in my local repository and it is working like in your case.
If you want check from where are taken form actions values in the dropdown first of all you need to check configuration for this field which is stored under:
- /libs/foundation/components/form/start/dialog/items/tabs/items/second/items/actiontype
As this is a widget with xtype='formactionselection' then please take a look into js file which is implementation for this widget:
- /libs/cq/ui/widgets/source/widgets/wcm/FormActionSelection.js
There you find that the values in the dropdown for this filed are populated by calling :
- /bin/wcm/foundation/forms/actions.json
and of course setting permissions should solve this problem.
In my opinion this a bug or I missed something, so only thing which I can suggest at this moment is to customize a little bit this widget.
For example you can create a sort of actions which are used only by users in the /apps/project_name/form/actions (copy only those which are used from /libs/foundation/form/components/form/actions/) and then customize the widget by changing a path from

Run servlet from form action tag

This is my first post to this forum, thanks in advance for any and all help!
I'm utilizing Tomcat 4.0.1. I've got the following form tag within my JSP:
<form name="orderForm" method="GET" action="/myAppName/myServletName">
I've made the context entry for myAppName within ..tomcat/conf/server.xml.
I've got a properly formatted ..tomcat/webapps/myAppName/web-inf/web.xml
When submitting the form, Tomcat immediately reports that the resource (myServletName) is unavailable.
I've download the bookstore sample app from Sun; it is working properly.
Any idea what I'm missing here?
The bookstore app calls the servlet from a hyperlink rather that a form action. Do JSP's treat forms differently when calling servlets?
Thanks again for any assistance.

Yes, my .class files in in Tomcathome/webapps/appname/web-inf/classes
If I try and call the servlet from the Address box of the browser, I get the same error listed above.
Here is the contents of my Tomcathome/webapps/appname/web-inf/web.xml:
<-- entry begins here
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd">
<web-app>
     <servlet>
          <servlet-name>myServletName</servlet-name>
          <servlet-class>myServletName</servlet-class>
     </servlet>
     <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>myServletName</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/myServletName</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
< -- entry ends here
Here is the entry I've made in Tomcathome/conf/server.xml:
<--entry begins here
<Context path="/appName" docBase="appName" debug="0" reloadable="true" />
<--entry ends here
The only Tomcat related entry in my classpath is:
d:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1\common\lib\servlet.jar;
Again, thanks for all your assistance...this is driving me nuts (granted, it wasn't a long trip!)
