Struts: Using Wildcards in ActionMapping

J

Josh Martin

Struts Group -

I've been banging my head against a wall for three days trying all
kinds of things to get the ActionMapping wildcard feature to work.
I'm receiving an error (listed below under THE ERROR), but it goes
away if I remove the wildcard from the struts-config file (see SIMPLE
CHANGE TO STRUTS-CONFIG.XML THAT MAKES IT WORK). I found a site with
a JAR file that I also tried to use as a controller, but that didn't
work either. Any help would be very appreciated!

THE ERROR
Cannot retrieve mapping for action /basicNavigateProduct


SITE WITH A STRUTS CONTROLLER MEANT TO HANDLE WILDCARDS
http://www.twdata.org/struts-wildcard/


IN MY JSP
<html:form name="productForm" type="com.gxs.lowes.forms.ProductForm"
action="/basicNavigateProduct.do">


THE STRUTS-CONFIG.XML
<action-mappings>

<action path="/*NavigateProduct"
type="com.gxs.lowes.actions.NavigateProductAction"
name="productForm"
scope="session"
input="{1}"
validate="true">
</action>

</action-mappings>

<controller processorClass="org.twdata.struts.WildcardTilesRequestProcessor"
inputForward="true"/>;


ALTERNATE STRUTS-CONFIG.XML CONTROLLER SETTINGS
<controller inputForward="true"/>;


SIMPLE CHANGE TO STRUTS-CONFIG.XML THAT MAKES IT WORK
<action-mappings>

<action path="/basicNavigateProduct"
type="com.gxs.lowes.actions.NavigateProductAction"
name="productForm"
scope="session"
input="basic"
validate="true">
</action>

</action-mappings>

<controller processorClass="org.twdata.struts.WildcardTilesRequestProcessor"
inputForward="true"/>;

I was unable to duplicate your problem in JBoss-3.2.2, which uses
Tomcat 4.1. My attempts did confirm my concerns regarding Eclipse
stability, however. At one point the auto-sync failed and after
that I was unable to redeploy the application. Restarting Eclipse
turned out to be the only solution.
I also had to heed the warning about removing the stale servlets
compiled from the JSPs.
Could you post the precise error message? Server logs could help
too...

Sudsy -

Thanks for your help. Here are the exceptions from the web page and
the server log. I'm also posting the lines from basic_jsp.java (the
compiled jsp) with line numbers. In your struts-config.xml, are you
using a special controller, or are you using the default? I've tried
both ways, but it doesn't work with either. Also, if I simply remove
the wildcard, it works with both.

Thanks,
Josh

Thanks for your help. Here are the exceptions from the web page and
the server log. I'm also posting the lines from basic_jsp.java (the
compiled jsp) with line numbers. In your struts-config.xml, are you
using a special controller, or are you using the default? I've tried
both ways, but it doesn't work with either. Also, if I simply remove
the wildcard, it works with both.

Thanks,

I copied the struts-wildcard-0.3.1.jar into the /lib directory for
the application and used a controller processorClass of
org.twdata.struts.WildcardRequestProcessor. Here's an extract from
my $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/log/server.log file:

My post was to /YYWildcardDemo. The second line shows the conversion
being performed by org.twdata.struts.ActionMappingMatcher. The
remainder shows the appropriate processing with the final destination
popping out at the bottom.

Here's the form-bean and action from struts-config.xml:

<form-beans>
<form-bean
name="WildcardForm"
type="com.royalencore.WildcardForm"/>
<form-beans>
<action-mappings>
<action
path="/*WildcardDemo"
type="com.myorg.WildcardAction"
name="WildcardForm"
scope="request"
input="/WEB-INF/jsp/{1}.jsp"
unknown="false"
validate="true">
<forward>
name="continue"
path="/wildcard.html"
redirect="false"/>
</action>
</action-mappings>

And here's the controller spec from the same file:

<controller
contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"
nocache="true"
maxFileSize="100K"
processorClass="org.twdata.struts.WildcardRequestProcessor"/>

In order to check for the correct processing of the {n} constructs
in the file, I used the following source for com.myorg.WildcardForm:

package com.myorg;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionError;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;

public class WildcardForm extends ActionForm {

public ActionErrors validate( ActionMapping req,
HttpServletRequest resp ) {
ActionErrors response = new ActionErrors();
response.add( ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR,
new ActionError( "xxx" ) );
return( response );
}
}

Sudsy -

Thank you for your help. I can get a non-Tiles example to run on my
box now too. I'm still unable to make it work when a Tiles plugin is
used, despite the claim at the original website.

The bottom of my struts-config.xml looks nearly identical to the one
that's working, minus the tiles plugin. Have you ever gotten your's
to work in conjunction with Tiles. I promise this is my last question
- I have to finish this up for a project, so some copying/pasting may
occur despite valiant efforts!

Sorry, but before your post I'd never even found the need for wildcard
matches! Trying to mix a mortar for Tiles...?
Sounds like you're on your own with this one, although I'm heartened
to hear that you got the rest of it working.

Sudsy -

Thanks again for all of your help! I never needed them either, but in
this one, I have a major form loaded with data across a lot of pages,
but wanted to validate (i.e. input=....) each page separately.
Instead of copying/pasting the struts config, I just added a hidden
property in the form that tells me that page they came from, and then
call the validation from the action (versus letting Struts do it with
the form itself). Seems to be working fine. Tiles is great - I have
some relatively new programs, and I created a template with "DO NOT
CHANGE ABOVE/BELOW THIS" comments, and now they can just use HTML and
the Struts taglibs!
