Hi Friends,

I am from an second tier college in Tamilnadu. But with 5+ years of experience, I presently have an offer from Sun Bangalore. I could have achieved this much much earlier, had I concentrated in better way on building my career. So, my advice to all those who want to make it into big technology companies like Sun is,

I am using weblogic portal 8.1 SP5. We are using struts-html tags in our jsp files and it works fine while testing it as a JPF. But, when we deploy it as a portlet and submit the page, the struts-html tag component values are not copied into the form bean. The application works fine if we replace
the struts tag with netui tags. Is any one aware of such an issue. Pls help.

Thanks in advance,

Unni.

This doesnt work - <html:text property="class_short_name" />

This works -<netui:textBox dataSource="{actionForm.class_short_name}" />

Yes this seems to be a classpath problem. In WSAD, right click on the project and select Java Build path. In the projects tab, select the commons project.
This will add the common project to the classpath of ur project.

We had a similar problem with WSAD.
It got rectified when we entered [Virtual Host Name : default_host] in web.xml. (Open web.xml in WSAD and select Overview tab. Look for Websphere Bindings at bottm right.)

hi all,

i got the solution from websphere documentation. There is a flag
"Use Metadata From Binaries" in applications configutation. Just change it to true. Next time onwards when we make any changes to web.xml and restart the application, the new changes are taken.

I work on websphere 5.1 on AIX platform. Our server is running in development mode. Each time i make any changes to web.xml, i need to create an ear file using EARExpander.sh and do an update of the application from admin console. A simple restart of the application will not take the new web.xml. Is there a way to avoid this.Please help.

we sloved the issue at last. We just rearranged some entries in web.xml and it started working fine. There was nothing wrong with the web.xml file, but there was something which the server doesnt like . Websphere is a crazy server, doesnt tell give any proper error messages.

This is an usual stuff that every one does in struts,

See this post in Javaranch,

https://coderanch.com/t/45981/Struts/struts-html-options-tag-not

Since you have an array of data, u need to use
"Struts Indexed Properties".
Try google for examples of this...

hi all,

Our existing struts 1.0 application runs on Websphere5.1 on AIX platform.
We are trying to upgrade this to use struts 1.1. For this, i made the following changes,

1. changed the struts.jar in WEB-INF/lib folder to struts-1.1.jar
2. changed the struts-config.xml DOCTYPE to struts-config_1_1.dtd
3. replaced tlds with new versions from struts-1.1 package.

and restarted the application. Now what happens is, all the servlets initializes and then just destroys by itself without showing any error or exception. Then again the servlets initializes by itself and destroys after that. This initialization and destruction is going on in a loop.

We tried to run this same application on windows platform and its running fine.

Has anybody faced such a problem. Please help me out.

thanks in advance,

unni.

I tried this also. Its not working...

I am pasting the log file below. It may not be of any help bcose it does'nt show any exception or error messages.

For your first question about RequestProcessor, my answer is -

There is only one ActionServlet for an application and there will be multiple RequestProcessor instances, each for a module. If u have an application specific thing to be done, it can be done by overriding ActionServlet.

If your requirement is module specific, you can do it by overriding RequestProcessor (This is my assumption, i am not sure whether u can specify different RequestProcessor classes for each modules. U need to verify this).

Now for the second question,

You can avoid double click issue by using struts tokens. This will solve the F5 refresh issue also. Goggle will be a good starting point for this..
