Re:Struts-chain
Howdy:
I am trying to get Struts-chain up and running. I follow the instruction
of struts-chain in the cvs to build from the source:
export ANT_HOME=.../ant-1.6beta2
export JAVA_HOME=.../j2sdk1.4.2_02
export TOMCAT_HOME=.../tomcat-5.0.14
The build.properties is copied from the build.properties.sample
servlet.home=.../common/lib
struts.home=.../jakarta-struts-bin
chain.home=.../cvs/jakarta-commons-sandbox/chain
export
PATH=${PATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${ANT_HOME}/bin:${TOMCAT_HOME}/common/lib/servlet-api.jar:${TOMCAT_HOME}/server/lib/catalina-ant.jar
execute the following command at the struts-chain directory
[-]$ ant clean dist
I got the error:
/build.xml:54: taskdef class org.apache.catalina.ant.DeployTask could
not be found
Please feed me the latest instruction to create struts-chain.war

It's only NOT SUPPORTED YET because nobody has done the work to support it :-).
Feel free to take a crack at this, but it's probably going to be somewhat more
involved than some of the other functionality, to replicate or replace the way
that the standard FileUpload functionality wraps the servlet request.
If it were up to me, I'd just implement file upload as a Filter instead of
inside the framework, but that would mean requiring a Servlet 2.3 platform.

Thanks. I hacked it and got the job done.
It is a great job Craig. Your vision proves to be on the target again.
By the way, file upload is a very important aspect of Struts
applications. I will look closely into it. But is there any serious
reason while file-upload is *NOT SUPPORTED YET* in the struts-chain?
On behalf of many developers, me included, thanks for your great effort. :-)

The struts-example is in cvs/jakarta-struts/contrib/struts-chain
or in the nightly built of struts-src /jakarta-struts/contrib/struts-chain
There is a built.properties and built.xml to create struts-example war
file using struts-chain. The build process is terrible, so you need to
hack it. Here are the steps i used:
1) use maven to build jetspeed-2 so i get portlet-api-1.0.jar in my
local .maven/repository. Do not use the one in struts-chain build (I
thing 0.6-dev)
2) use maven to build commons-chain, so i get commons-chain-0.1.jar
in my local repository. Do not use the one in struts-chain build.
3) Edit the build.properties using built.properties.sample in
struts-chain directory with your appropriate settings.
4) Edit the buiild.xml in struts-chain directory with your
appropriate settings. Take out the whole section of Custom Tomcat
Integration.
5) Use *ant clean dist* command to run against the edited build.xml.
Be patient and correct errors in the build process as you go along.
6) The result of successful build is
/struts-chain/build/webapps/example/ and
/struts-chain/dist/webapps/struts-chain.war that you can manually copy
to tomcat/webapps directory and run sub app /struts-chain
7) You may likely have a problem to get struts-example running under
the new design of struts-chain. If this is the case, then compare
contents of struts-chain and old struts-example. Copy the missing of
.dtd and jar files from struts-example to struts-chain.
P.S. I hear you are also looking at HiveMind too. Let's see how we put
struts-chain catalog(s) as a HiveMind service so we can combine the
strength and simplicity of the 2 frameworks into a simple-practical
solution.

Actually, you don't have to build the commons stuff, just get the
latest binaries and reference them in your build.properties.
See build.properties.sample for what you have to do.

Re: Chain - not comatible

I worked around it by creating a new TilesPlugin that doesn't require a
TilesRequestProcessor.
Another workaround would be to make ComposableRequestProcessor extend
TilesRequestProcessor, but that kinda sucks.

I will take a look at it. It will take sometime since I am in the middle
of a major business proposal. Hope others may have a solution sooner.
Since Tiles is used by many Struts sites, Chain to work with Tiles is
very critical before we can talk about other presentation frameworks.
Cheer :-)

There are two distinct things going on.
Commons Chain is a general-purpose implementation of the Chain of
Responsibility pattern. It could be used by any Java application,
library, or framework that needed to implement a Chain of Responsibility.
Once likely suspect for a Chain of Responsibility is the Struts
RequestProcessor. So, as a proof of concept, we're working on a Struts
Chain RequestProcessor. The goal here is to be able to plug it into
Struts like any other RequestProcessor, without any Struts API changes.
Then, at some point, we'd be likely to make Struts-Chain the default
RequestProcessor, since it is more extensible than the 1.1 version.
To use Commons Chain in an application, you create a Context and pass it
to a Command. The Command can then do whatever you like, including
adding a "hello world" entry to the Context. The Context is then
returned the caller.
In a web application, the context could simply be added to the request
context, or used to populate an ActionForm or some other JavaBean.
In the web package of Chain, there is a generic Servlet and a generic
Listener class that can be used to load a Catalog of Commands into
application-scope. Then, all the Action has to do is lookup a given
Command Chain in the Catalog, invoke it with the desired context, and
place the result in request or session scope. Another approach would be
to use the ServletWebContext, so that any changes the Command makes to
the Context are reflected in request scope.
But, right now, both Struts-Chain and Commons-Chain are in the sandbox,
mainly because we haven't finished doing the hello world examples :)

Download the jakarta-struts nightly source distro (or check it out from
anonymous CVS). Then, start Tomcat and execute:
cd contrib/struts-chain
ant install
This builds a variation on the standard struts-example webapp that uses the
chain-based replacement for the standard RequestProcessor.

Re: Struts-chain

Howdy:
I want to congratulate Struts committers for a very fine work in
Struts-chain and share some of my finding to those who want to get their
feet wet in the CoR pattern.
1) First, i am able to have struts-chain example (the old
struts-example with struts-chain built from cvs) up and running using
j2sdk1.4.2_02 and tomcat 5.0.14. Some hacks in the build process is
required. I use both ant and maven.
2) There is very little things to change in existing Struts
application for running under the commons-chain. The design is very clean.
3) IMHO, when struts-chain has full implementations for portlet, jsf
and the buisiness layer (Ted Whiteboard), struts will definitely rock.
The design pattern for struts-chain context is just simple thread-safe
singleton. The performance can be better, especially when we move to the
implementation for business layer, with cache and pool services.
HiveMind may be a good companion.

If you use the compile task (the default for the project), struts-chain
will build without any dependencies on the tomcat ant lib.
