Upgarding to struts 1.3.8

Hi all,
I am quite new to struts and have, perhaps a quite stupid error.
Until now a used Struts 1.2.9 (because my IDE had it onboard). Now I
want to use some features of the version 1.3.8 and moved to this version
that for.
But now I have a strange error while starting Jboss server
The error looks like:
Unable to initialize Struts ActionServlet due to an unexpected
exception or error thrown, so marking the servlet as unavailable. Most
likely, this is due to an incorrect or missing library dependency.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/commons/chain/config/ConfigParser
at
org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.initChain(ActionServlet.java:1680)
Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
Thanks

Thanx for that link :-)
I have added commons-chain_1.1.jar. But now i can another error
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.catalina.util.DefaultAnnotationProcessor cannot be cast to org.apache.AnnotationProcessor
I googled it some users said to add <Loader delegate="true"/> in CONTEXT.xml but this did not help me. And in another site some one had mentioned to remove the catlina.jar from the web application and have it only in the tomcat server. In my case it is only in the tomcat/lib folder.
Can u suggest me what are the other possiblities

Using a variable in Struts config, to redirect

In the struts-config file,
to redirect to a different site, I can use
redirect="true"
and mention full path, in my <forward path=
variable.
1. Is there a better way to do it?
2. Since I have to do it in multiple places, is it possible to use a variable? I mean, something like this
<forward
name="success"
path="URL/abc.html" />
Where URL is a variable name that the site path? This way, I can reuse the variable to redirect to other pages too (xyz.html, for example)

Hi there,
I don't know...is there only one URL you are using ore are there more than one? Because if it's the same path everytime you can try using this:
<forward
name="success"
path="./abc.html" />
./ // This is the shortcut for the directory you are currently using.
../ // This is the shortcut for the directory above the one you are currently using.This code should do it. If not, try to create a var named for example "vpath" and put it like this:
<forward
name="success"
path=vpath+"abc.html" />Try and tell if it worked ;)

J2EE Struts - Database connection failed - help???:(

Hello,
I have built a little web application and it works without any problems. In the next step I tried to add a database connection but I have already worked on it for at least one day and I could not fix the problem with the database connection.
I downloaded the MySQL Server 5.0 and installed it, furthermore I have downloaded the jdbc driver mysql-connector-java-3.1.11.zip and extracted it to the MySQL Server 5.0 directory. Furthermore I have added under system settings - system - etended - system variables the whole path to the driver -> C:\Programme\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\mysql-connector-java-3.1.11\mysql-connector-java-3.1.11-bin.jar to the CLASSPATH systemvariable.
Then I have startet the SQL Server 5.0 with mysqld --console from the command line.
Furthermore I have added under Project-Properties-Java Build Path - Libraries - Add External JARs in Eclipse the mysql-connector-java-3.1.11-bin.jar to my Struts WebProject.
To test the whole thing I have added to the existing test-database from mysql a table named owner and wanted to test the database connection in the Action-class with the following statements - I quote the whole execute method of the OwnerAction class:
public ActionForward execute(
                 ActionMapping mapping,
                 ActionForm form,
                 HttpServletRequest request,
                 HttpServletResponse response)
                 throws Exception {
               OwnerForm ownerForm = (OwnerForm) form;
               String greet = ownerForm.getGreet();
               String name = ownerForm.getName();
               request.setAttribute("name", name);
               request.setAttribute("greet", greet);
               String address = ownerForm.getAddress();
               String email = ownerForm.getEmail();
               int tel = ownerForm.getTel();
               Connection conn = null;
               Statement stmt = null;
               ResultSet rs = null;
               DriverManager.registerDriver(new org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver());
               conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test","root","sa");
               try {
                     //conn = dataSource.getConnection();
                     stmt = conn.createStatement();
                     int id = 0;
                     rs = stmt.executeQuery("select max(id) as counter from owner");
                     while(rs.next()){
                        id = rs.getInt("counter");
                     id += 1;
                     stmt.executeUpdate("insert into owner values("+id+", '"+greet+"', '"+name+"', '"+email+"', '"+address+"', "+tel+")");
                     rs.close();
                     stmt.close();
                     conn.close();
                  catch(SQLException e){
                     throw new SQLException("database error");
                  // Forward control to the specified success target
                  return (mapping.findForward("success"));
      }But when I execute the WebApplication and the Action will be called the following error message appears in the browser:
HTTP Status 500 -

It must depend with anything that the driver was not found but I have defined it in the CLASSPATH variable and added it to the Web-Project in eclispe.
Has anybody an idea what I have else made wrong or have forgotten??:(:(:(
thanks in advance
lg
pat

One thing I have forgotten - I have also copied the mysql-connector-java-3.1.11-bin.jar in the WebRoot\WEB-INF\lib directory of my EasyStruts WebApplication.
Can anything else be wrong??:(:((

URGENT! Need help to portalize a Strut JSP App for Portal!

Hi,
I have create a little application using Strut ADF. This application only have one page. Can someone tell me how to portalize this in order to deployed it in Portal. I have create my DataSource in OEM and the only thing left is to portalize this jsp.
I have read the "How to create a Struts Portlet" but I don't understand it.
Please help me deployed this app to Portal. Is there any tutorial about this?
Thank you!

try this article
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/articles/pdkstruts/portletize-your-app.html
You will also need to download the relevant tag library for the pdk-struts extensions.
You can also download the java portlet wizard as an add-in for jdeveloper. This makes the creation of the files (for example provider.xml) required by portal easier.

STRUTS - Cannot retrieve definition for form bean null -aaaarrrrgh

Hi Folks,
my head hurts and i become crazy... i know that a lot of people asked this question before, but i did not found any suitable solution.
I have simple a jsp page, containing a form which should be handled by struts. I tried everything, but i did not found my mistake.
Can anyone help me please?

}Sorry for this stupid question, but how can i avoid this exception while using struts TagLibs?
I tried to face the jsp with another action, but this does not change anything.
Thank you in advance

New to Struts - logic:if error - am I not properly defining a bean?

I am going through what are for the most part simple Struts examples and tutorials on my company's Intranet. The example below should be testing against the pre-defined <logic:if> and <logic:or> statement values and spitting out either the 'one or more conditions are true' or 'none of the conditions are true' depending.
That said, I am getting an error with the following block of code (at line 11) just before the first logic:if statement and I am hoping for help in determining where I have gone astray.

            <p>None of the conditions are true.</p>
          </logic:else>
       </logic:if>
</abc:page>Again, the error is at line 11, occurring at or just before the <logic:if> statement. I presume it is because a bean must be properly defined.
I tried the following variations of <bean:define> and keep coming up with the same error.
<bean:define id="calendarBean" name="myCalendarBean" value="March" />
<bean:define id="calendarBean" name="calendarBean" value="March" />
<bean:define id="calendarBean" name="calendarBean"/>
<bean:define id="calendarBean" name="myCalendarBean"/>
<bean:define id="myCalendarBean" name="calendarBean"/>
<bean:define id="calendarBean" value=""/>
<bean:define id="calendarBean" value="false"/>
<bean:define id="calendarBean"/>Am I right about defining a bean first? If yes, what am I doing incorrectly in the aforementioned <bean:define> declarations listed above?
If you see something entirely different (and wrong) please do let me know.

Struts: getting multiple selected values from a select element

Hi Friends,
I am a total newbie with struts,I have manage to run a simple login script,
Now I was wonderingif there is a select box and user has the ability to select multiple values from it how do I get those values in the *Form class
my select tag looks like this
<html:select property="listboxValue" mulitple="mulitple">
...options--
</html:select>
in the ****Form extends ActionForm{....I have setter and getters for getting the value from select box as below
public void setListboxValue(String value){
this.listboxValue = value;
and the getter is
public String getListboxValue(){
return this.listboxValue ;
please never mind the missing brackets and such.
What I was hoping to get to work was something like this
public void setListboxValue(String[] value){
this.listboxValue = value;
but that does not work...If I have the an array being passed,it seems like this method is no even envoked
Please guide me
Thanks

I'm having trouble to get in the ActionForm all the selected values in my multiple select. I select all the values by setting to true the selected attribute of all the options in a javascript function. In the ActionForm the variable is String[]. I'm not getting any ClassCastException, but I only receive the first value selected (String array with just one element).
Select definition:
<html:select name="detalleConsultaForm" property="destinatarios" multiple="true" size="8" >
Javascript function:
function validalistarelacion(campo)
{ if (campo.length < 1)
alert("Campo sin valores");
campo.select();
return false;
for (var i = 0; i < campo.length; i++)
campo.options.selected = true;
return true;
ActionForm:
String[] destinatarios;
public String[] getDestinatarios() {
return destinatarios;
public void setDestinatarios(String[] destinatarios) {
this.destinatarios = destinatarios;
What I get:

How can I get the context-parm from a web.xml file using struts?

Hello:
I need get the context-param from the web.xml file of my web project using struts. I want configurate the jdbc datasource connection pooling here. For example:
<context-param>
<param-name>datasource</param-name>
<param-value>jdbc/formacion</param-value>
<description>Jdbc datasource</description>
</context-param>
and then from any Action class get this parameter.
Similar using a simple server can be:
/** Initiates new XServlet */
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
          for (Enumeration e = config.getInitParameterNames(); e.hasMoreElements();) {
               System.out.println(e.nextElement());
          super.init(config);
          String str = config.getInitParameter("datasource");
          System.out.println(str);
     public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
          throws ServletException, IOException {
          // res.setContentType( );
          System.out.println("Got post request in XServlet");
          PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
          out.println("nada");
          out.flush();
          out.close();
but only this works for init-params, if I use
<servlet>
     <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
     <display-name>MyServlet</display-name>
     <servlet-class>myExamples.servlet.MyServlet</servlet-class>
     <init-param>
     <param-name>datasource</param-name>
     <param-value>jdbc/formacion</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
inside my web.xml. I need something similar, but using struts inside the action class for that I can get the context-params and call my database.
Thank you

To get context parameters from your web.xml file you can simply get the ActionServlet object from an implementing action object class. In the perform (or execute) method make the following call.
ServletContext context = getServlet().getServletContext();
String tempContextVar =
context.getInitParameter("<your context param >");

Values from JSP to Struts Action Class

Dear All,
Am working on a small struts project, i want to get values from JSP in the Action class, i tried with sending variables using request through URL, it works fine, any other way is there to send the values from JSP to action class. Am not having any input fields in the JSP.I have links.
Thanks,
vyrav.

I have a dispatch action for that am calling the action like this viewfiles.do?parameter=edit, and i have to send a variable ID from the same page, so am doing like this through java script, viewfiles.do?parameter=edit&id=10. Am able to get the id in the dispatch action edit, but when i start tomcat with security manager its not calling the action itself and its giving accesscontrol exception, but when i directly type viewfiles.do in URL its calling the action.
I dont know wats the problem, tomcat security manager not allowing this. Please help me.
Thanks,
vyrav.

I have Struts 1.1 working in the portal

Hello all,
I was having the same problem you have all seen. The long:
com.bea.netuix.nf.UIControlException: No ActionResult returned for action [/Home] in Struts module []. Please ensure that both module and action are correct in portlet StrutsContent element.
Here's how you solve it. Follow the "Integrating Struts Applications" tutorial, except realize the following: Workshop creates a Java Page Flow (JPF) application for you when you create a new Portal Web Project. JPF is a proprietary extension to struts by BEA. You cannot have a JPF application and a struts application in the same "module". So you are all probably doing exactly what I did and putting all your struts app's JSP's, images, html files, etc. in the root of the web application folder. This won't work because the root folder is a "module" that already is owned by JPF.
Instead create a sub folder in the web app root. Call it whatever you want, like "strutsModule" for example. Put all your struts applications jsp's, etc. that you would normally put in the web root in there instead. Still put all your source for the action classes, etc. in the web-inf/src folder like normal. Put your struts config in the web-inf folder but call it struts-auto-config-strutsModule.xml. Then when you create the "portlet" in step 4 specify "/strutsModule" as your "module" uri, and the first struts action your app should run as the struts action.
Everything will magically work now.
Good luck
Rob

Issues with Deploying Struts application on Weblogic Server 10.3.3

We are trying to deploy a web application on Weblogic 10.3 server domain. The configuration is we have 2 physical boxes with one box running an Admin Server and one managed Server and the other box running only a Managed server. Both these servers are in one cluster. When we deploy a Struts 2 web application on this domain, it works as expected on the managed server running on the same box and Admin server. However, when we do the same action on the managed server, we get an error. In the application we are using Interceptor and the error we see in the log file is Action Interceptor Result ---exception.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as we have been struggling with this for a few days.
Thank you
Sam

Sounds to me as if you are saving the users' uploaded images somewhere in your application's directory structure - which is going to get blown away each time you redeploy. Why not store uploaded images in a database (there are blogs showing how to upload and display images to/from a DB in ADF if you don't know how). If you search {forum:id=83}, you can find them easily.

Problem with html:select or html:options tags using struts,jsp and tomcat

Hi
I'm updating a Struts-Project to a new layout and therefore rework all jsp Sites.
I'm also using a new Folder-Structure and update therefore my struts-config file.
My Problem now is:
Till now, we had a select-field with a code like this:
< html:form action="/timetableAction" method="POST">
< table width="53%" border="0">
< tr>
< td>< html:radio property="dauer" value="semester"
/></ td>
< html:select property="semester" size="1">
< htmlptions name="semesterList" />
</ html:select>
</ html:form>
The problem now is, that whenever I use any <html:xy> tag, the tomcat server I use can not show the page, he shows just the headers of the template, but not the
content.-jsp-File where the form would be in. He stops right in the middle of the html page, when he notices the <html:xy> tags.
And the funny thing is, that he has no problem to show a page when there is a <html:errors> within it? Why could this be? the struts-html.tld File is well included and teh Tomcat Server shows no exceptions.
Waiting for you answers and thanks

Thank you, I already got the answer in another forum

Problem with Validation in Struts

Dear All,
I am facing a proble with validation in struts.
I have got this code in my action class
//Initial Code...
ArrayList branches=new ArrayList();
branches.add("B01", "Main Branch");
branches.add("B02", "Second Branch");
branches.add("B03", "Third Branch");
DynaValidatorForm memberForm=(DynaValidatorForm)form;
memberForm.set(branches);
//Finalizing code.....This form is getting validated in validation.xml.
This action is being forwarded to folllowing JSP.
//Initial Code...
        <tr>
            <td align="right"><strong>Branch Name </strong></td>
            <td> </td>
            <td align="left">
                <html:select property="branid">
                    <html:optionsCollection name="memberForm" property="branches" value="key" label="value"/>
                </html:select>
            </td>
        </tr>
//Later code...I have action mapping as..
        <action path="/member/save" input="member.page" name="memberForm" validate="true"
        scope="request" type="com.mlm.action.MemberAction" parameter="action">
            <forward name="success" path="/show.do?action=member" redirect="true"/>
        </action>Now, the problem is that when the form doesn't pass the validation then it gives an exception that..

I tried to find out the problem and I found that.. when the form does not pass the validation its input page gets displayed..
Now, when the input is getting displayed.. "branches" field of the form contains null???Why?
Edited by: sauanu on ?? ??????, ???? ??:?? ?????????Forget,about Validations.
Who is forwarding the control to this JSP page or view ??
Is it Action method code which metioned earlier doing it ??
Or some other Action is involved if it is some other action please intialize Values of branches component in the respective action.
Also,
Also,
ArrayList branches=new ArrayList();
branches.add("B01", "Main Branch");
branches.add("B02", "Second Branch");
branches.add("B03", "Third Branch"); I believe you need to get a good understanding of Java Collection classes aswell.
You can add things as entities in the above case lets create a simple java bean named Option.
public class Option implements Serializable{
    private String label;
    private String value;
    public void setValue(String value){this.value = value;};
    public String getValue(){return this.value;}
    public void setLabel(String label){this.label = label;}
    public String getLabel(){return this.label;}
} and inside the action which is forwarding to the respective view
ArrayList branches=new ArrayList();
Option option = new Option();
option.setValue("B01");
option.setLabel("Main Branch");
branches.add(option);
option = new Option();
option.setValue("B02");
option.setLabel("Second Branch");
branches.add(option);
option = new Option();
option.setValue("B03");
option.setLabel("Third Branch");
branches.add(option);
      <html:select property="branid">
               <html:options name="memberForm" collection="branches"   value="value" label="label" />
       </html:select>and one more thing is is that after the validation if it is not validated it'd be sent back to input page which destorys the request therefore try making scope of "memberForm" to session in your action mappings and check.
Hope this might help :)

Problem with Hot deployment of Struts application

I used the exploded archive format to deploy a web application ( no EJB Jars etc involved). But after modifying a custom Action class and placing it in the WEB-inf\classes, I get the following exception: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.getProcessorForModule Clearly weblogic managed to load the new Action class, and if I understand correctly it would have destroyed the old web class loader and create a new one and loaded all the classes visible to the web app class loader. But somehow it still seems to cache the RequestProcessor class.. Can some one please throw some light on this.
PS I dont have anything in the server classpath, and there is no chance of duplicate copies anywhere in the classpath or under web-inf

Yes, I added the line getServletContext().removeAttribute(Globals.REQUEST_PROCESSOR_KEY) in ActionServlet's destroy(). It works now.
It was previously getting back the old class reference while doing a getAttribute(REQ....) , so was giving the classcast.
Not sure if this is a bug in the ActionServlet, or if I am missing something.
