Hi,

I'm working on a Struts/Tiles web app with Websphere 5.1.2 and Struts 1.2.4

I'm getting exceptions when trying to use the Validator framework.

After debugging, it almost seems as if the strut-config.xml is not being properly digested.

The property maps of the Plug-Ins are always null.

Thus, the ValidatorPlugIn does not know that I've specified a "pathnames" property.

Here's my struts-config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.2//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_2.dtd">

Real problem:

Indexed properties should be expressed as follows:

public class MyForm extends ActionForm {

public Object[] getIndexedProperty() {
}

public void setIndexedProperty(int i, Object property) {
}
}

// the following causes problems for JDK 1.4:
public Collection getIndexedProperty() {
}

public Object getIndexedProperty(int i) {
}

public void setIndexedProperty(int i, Object property) {
}

JSP as follows:

<nested:iterate property="indexedProperty" >
<nested:hidden property="subProperty" />
</nested:iterate>

Regards and thanks for the help,

FYI. It seems to be an issue between JDK 1.3 and JDK 1.4 reflection.

The overloaded methods getMVBreakdowns() and getMVBreakdowns(int i) are causing problems.

Thanks. I confirmed that it is an overloaded method issue.

My JSP, however, is as follows:

<nested:iterate property="MVBrakdowns">
<nested:write property="MVBreakdowns.sectionId" />
</nested:iterate>

This needs both the Collection getMVBreakdowns() and the MarketValueBreakdown getMVBreakdowns(int i) methods to be named the same.

Is there another alternative or workaround for this?

I don't think WAS 5.1.2 is a JSP 2.0 container or else I could do something as follows:

<c:forEach items="${form.MVBreakdowns}" var="mvbreakdown" varStatus="breakdownStatus" >
<html:text property="MVBreakdowns[${breakdownStatus.index}].sectionId" />
</c:forEach>

I still want to avoid JSP scriptlets, but it seems that might be the best route.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I'm having a problem with a web application that I'm developing. I'm using nested objects with Struts, JSTL and WASD 5.1.2

My code works fine in WASD 5.0, but breaks in WASD 5.1.2. The error says that it can't find a getter method for a property.

This is an indexed property.

My ActionForm is as follows:

Public class MyActionForm extends ActionForm {
private IndexedProperty MVBreakdowns; // a class that wraps around a HashMap

public Collection getMVBreakdowns() {
// returns as an ArrayList
}

public MarketValueBreakdown getMVBreakdowns(int i) {
// return the ith MarketValueBreakdown object
}

public void setMVBreakdowns(int i, MarketValueBreakdown breakdown) {
// sets the ith MarketValueBreakdown
}

My JSP is as follows:



...


I also tried using JSTL tags:




Both have similar issues with WASD 5.1.2, but works fine with WASD 5.0

Is this a known issue with Websphere?

is there a work around that does not include using straight JSP scriptlets?

Thanks in advance!

I usually look for the tnsnames.ora file. Then I look for the SID.

All the information will be listed there.

Hi,

I have a simple MDB which is listening to an MQ Queue. When I try to start the listener port, it will not start.

What log file can I look at to debug/troubleshoot this issue?

I'm runing Websphere 5.x on a local queue manager. I configured an MQ JMS Queue Connection Factory and MQ JMS Queue via the console. They are all listening on port 1415.

The SystemOut.log file does not log any error messages.

Thanks in advance!
