UIX and Struts

I wanted to know where can I find detail technical information about integration of struts and UIX.

Hi Prashant,
See the UIX Developer's Guide chapter "Using uiXML With Struts" in the JDeveloper 9.0.3 help system.

Oracle ADF UIX and Struts

Does Oracle ADF UIX use Struts components internally? If yes, Does Oracle Support the issues that arises because this internally used Struts components? (I am using Oracle ADF in my application.
Thanks,
Aravind.

DataForwardAction and DataAction are build on top of struts actions to coordinate ADF databindings and it's life cycle;
UIX, has xmlns:struts="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/struts" this XML namespace has some elements like
<struts:form> and <struts:messageTextInput> also <struts:dataScope>
They work like struts jsp tag;

UIX vs Struts

Hi
I'm evaluating these two frameworks for the implementation of the presentation tier of our application. We have already chosen Oracle BC4Js for the Business Logic.
I have already used Struts while I have little knowledge about UIX. Does anyone know the main differences between the two frameworks? I expect a best integration between bc4j and uix than between uix and Struts: is this true? How is your user experience of uix?
Thanks in advance.
Rick

My two cents,
UIX is very powerful and can produce quality quickly. The downsides are 1) that getting the mindset takes time and 2)there are holes in this developing product.
If you do uiXML, make sure your project has room for learning and keep reading the forum and the documentation daily. The team on the forum is excellent. The documentation can be difficult and out-dated, but is rarely incorrect.
The Struts framework alone is not as powerful as the whole uiXML to me. Maybe if you add in Tiles it may become as powerful.

Bill

Use UIX and JSP together

I have some existing jsp application . I want to integrate it with UIX application that is generated from JHeadStart . jsp application is just 10% of whole project.
I am not sure this is a good way or not . May be We should use JHeadstart to generate JSP more than UIX . but I think it 's more powerful if I use JHeadstart to generate UIX application .
What do you recommend for this ?
and if we have to use both together . How dose JSP application pass parameter to UIX application ? and How dose UIX pass parameter to JSP ?. and How UIX use the parameter that 's sent form JSP ?
thanks in advance

If JSP is only 10% you might want tpo consider migrating these pages to UIX.
If this is not an option, you should be able to use both UIX and JSP pages. However, make sure you create separate struts-config.xml files for the JSP-based subsystem and the UIX-based subsystem. This requires two se[parate ViewController projects, that act as one web application. The same setup that has been aplied to Th JHeadstart demo application in Jhs 10.1.2.1. Check out this article from Duncan Mills as well:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/10g/StrutsMultiConfigs/struts_multiconfig_howto.html
One addition to this articel: the source path property of the ViewController projects shopuld be the same as well.
As far as communication between the pages is concerned: this is no different then between UIX pages. You can pass request parameters around, and since the pages are running in the same web app, they share the same HttpSession.

UIX and HttpSessions

After handling http events, with HttpSessionListener interface, i noticed that every request against my uix pages are creating new http sessions.
I look for all getSession(true) in my code, and have replaced for getSession().
But it still persists creating new http session at every single uix request.
Even if i call an uix page directly without passing the request to struts actions, it create new sessions.
I'm using uix templates.

Very Thanks;
haaaa, Steave congratulations for your new adf toy story release, great job;

Thanks Deepak;
But i really don't think that getSession is the cause any more.
The main point is that when i call an uix page WITHOUT templates it does not create any session; and when i call an uix page based on any template it creates;
Working on it i found this from uix developer guide;
Templates are loaded by a new section of the UIX Servlet <page> element: <templates>. Unlike most sub-elements of <page>, this element must be placed in the UIX Components namespace: .......
But i really don't know if it is an normal , and really i don't think so.
Perhaps some thing i'm missing related namespaces (topic that i don't understand until now, if someone has any link i'll apreciate);
Thanks again;

JSR 168 and Struts support sample error

I'm trying to get the sample webapp for JSR 168 and Struts support working with
WebLogic 8.1, and I'm having problems with the struts portlet. The other portlets
seem to work fine, but the Struts portlet gives the following error after clicking
"Save" on most of the forms:
Page Flow Error - Action Not Found
Page Flow: Global.app
Action: html-setters.do
Unable to find action html-setters.do.
That error appears in the browser. At the same time, the following exception
appears in the server window:
<Aug 18, 2003 4:34:12 PM EDT> <Error> <netui> <BEA-420012> <There was an error
while running a lifecycle stage :: Lifecycle: UIControl.render :: for the control

com.bea.netuix.nf.UIControlException: For portlet [strutsPortlet], could not do
page flow lookup for the given action [html-setters.do] in the given PageFlow:
[struts/exercise-taglib].
This exception is followed by hundreds of lines of the following:
at com.bea.wlw.netui.pageflow.scoping.ScopedServletUtils.strutsLookup(ScopedServletUtils.java:363)
as well as several stack overflow errors.
I believe I have installed the JSR168 and Struts support package according to
the instructions, and have copied the required jars into the samples WEB-INF/lib
directory. I also have tried to write my own Struts application in a portlet,
and it gets the exact same errors when I try to submit a form to my actions.
Any insight would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Brodi,
I am having the same problem as Patrick. The problem is not in the struts portlet,
but in the forms the portlet navigates to. After the struts portlet loads, I
am able to use the html:links and navigate through the pages. Though when I try
to submit a form I get the action not found error. For example the html-select
page has a form. This page loads fine, but when I hit the save button I get the
following error.
<Aug 25, 2003 11:00:00 AM EDT> <Error> <netui> <BEA-420012> <There was an error
while running a lifecycle stage :: Lifecycle: UIControl.render :: for the contro
l :: null ::.
com.bea.netuix.nf.UIControlException: For portlet [strutsPortlet], could not do
page flow lookup for the given action [html-select.do] in the given PageFlow:
struts/exercise-taglib].
The application appears to loose the struts context. It tries to find the localhost:7001/samples/html-select.do
action instead of localhost:7001/samples/struts/exercise-taglib/html-select.do
action. How do I keep the application from loosing context?
Thank you,
Karen

I've seen similar things happen when the module name is either not specified
correctly
in the StrutsContent element in the portlet, or when the module is misconfigured,
usually because of either a mising config file or a mis-named config
file.
Ensure that you have a the struts config file for the exercise-taglib
module in
WEB-INF, named jpf-struts-config-struts-exercise-taglib.xml.

JavaServer Faces and Struts

For those of you interested in using JavaServer Faces and Struts together (and my mailbox indicates that this is quite a few people :-), I'm happy to announce the immediate availability of an integration library that allows you to use the EA3 release of JavaServer Faces with a recent nightly build (20030216 or later) of Struts 1.1 -- it will also work with the upcoming 1.1-rc2 and 1.1-final releases -- together. Nightly builds of the integration library are available at <http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-struts/nightly/struts-faces/>.
The sources for this package are in the Struts CVS repository, in the "contrib/struts-faces" directory, and will be included in the source nightly distributions starting with the 20030307 version. It is not currently planned to include the struts-faces integration library with binary distributions of Struts 1.1, since it is still an EA quality release.
See the README.txt file (included in the nightly build) for more information on running the example application and using the integration library in your own applications.

What are the reasons not to have extended
RequestProcessor from Struts with the
capabilities of the FacesServlet... a sort of
"FacesProcessor" (extended the regular
RequestProcessor)? (should be nice for views
with no JSF components: in order not to execute
FacesServlet for each views , event if there is
no JSF component in the view)It turned out that I needed a customized RequestProcessor anyway (a couple of the processXxx methods had to work differently), but it actually would have been more work incorporating FacesServlet directly into it. In essence, there is now (in the combined version) a "front controller" for UI events , FacesServlet, and a "middle controller" for form submit events (RequestProcessor). When a UI event happens that just causes the current page to be redisplayed (think of a tree control where you click on the "expand this node" icon), you don't really want the Struts controller servlet to even be bothered by this request. Indeed, if you're using a presentation that was based on DHTML+Javascript, such an event would have been handled on the client anyway, and would never have been sent to the server at all.
The combined approach still supports Faces and non-Faces pages, though. This means you can migrate one page at a time and test things (which is exactly what I did when I ported the pages of the example app).

Problem with Pop up windows and struts

Hi
I have problem in working with pop-up windows and struts.
I have parent page which basically lists some data and has a button for adding new record. when I press that button a child windndow will be opened for data entry. The child window has submit button to save data.
when I press the button for save, It will go to action class and saves it in a database and forwards a new page.
but I do not want to forward any new page. If any exception is raised during database saving, a message should be showed in child window otherwise the child window should close and the parent window should get refreshed.
Can any one write me how we can handle this in struts.
Thanks in Advance,
SR

This has nothing to do with struts, you can do the same with some plain JavaScript. Do the following...
1) On error, forward to a error page
2) On success, forward to a temp.html page.
The code in temp.html would be like this
<html>
<head><script>
window.opener.reload();
self.close();
</script></head>
<body>Closing...</body>
</html>Cheers

Hey Jan,
Oracle's E-Business suite is moving to a JSF solution. This is really for three main reasons (abbreviated version):
1) JSF is much more focused on the 'view' components. The component model has a clean separation of the component definition from its rendering. This, among many other things, allows us to provide a consistent development environment and APIs for developers building apps for browsers, mobile devices, telnet devices, etc.
2) JSF has a better defined lifecycle. The JSF lifecycle maps much closer to the phases that enterprise applications need when processing data from a web application. We are able to easily extend this to add things not currently in the spec, like portlets, wireless, etc., as well as more easily plug new components into the framework.
3) Once you remove the JSP tags & FormBean from Struts, all you are left with is the navigation. There is nothing special in the Struts navigation that would cause us to try to make the two technologies work together. In fact, the Faces navigation will not be robust enough in its current form to support the declarative navigation requirements for Oracle apps. We plan to extend the JSF navigation and then work to submit that back into the standards.
Hope this helps,
Ted Farrell
Oracle Corporation.

Framesets and Struts

I'm trying to design a help page for my web application. I considered using framesets and frames to design the page. When I try to open the frameset (help.htm) in my application, it doesn't load the frames. I'm assuming this is because the <frame src="..."> required a relative path. Correct?
How can I work around this? I even tried this <html:frame page="..."> but to no avail.
Any other suggestions most welcome too.
Thanks.

I would suggest you to try Tiles and struts. You can define the tiles (to have the same look as your current frames) and the struts pages/jsp's could go into any of the defined tiles.
Frames would have issues in different browsers and I am positive most of them will be cleared with tiles. For more info and usage check out
http://struts.apache.org/1.x/struts-tiles/index.html

XForms and Struts

I'm working on the presentation tier for my project.
XForms and struts are going to be used, But I have no idea how to integrate XForms and Struts actionforms.
Does anybody have experience on this? If you do, can you share some examples?
Thanks in advance.

Hi

I believe Struts and Xforms follow different paths. Its hard to integrate or redundant to use both together. Althought Struts is a very good solution with existing technologies, XFORMS sounds to be a more standard one.
Advantage conflict of Struts and XFORMS
Struts :
1. View - JSP
2. Model - Form Bean
XFORMS processor on server side:
1. View & Model all handled by XFORMS processor, XML & XSL (Great :) !)
In case of XFORMS processor u can do renderer independent authoring quite easily, and XML is a preferrable way to have data now a days.
