Struts 1.1 and Tiles
How are the two shaping up? Are there still problems using a newer version
of struts with tiles? There are some features of 1.1 that I need such as
the dynamic forms. Also, would a nightly Struts download be in the 1.1
series or will it be 1.0.2 with some additional fixes?
Thanks

The Struts tags should be passing the original exception in the request
under the key Action.EXCEPTION_KEY so you can retrieve it from there on
your error page.

exception in action
Posted by Ivan Siviero <iv...@concept.it>.
hi everyone.
I have an errorpage to which all the exceptions are forwarded.
This errorpage emails me the exception details and display a user friendly
message instead of the complete exception details.
Everything works fine when the exception occurs in some custom tag, i get
the exception by pageContext.getException().
Now let's suppose the exception occurs in some Action.
The pageContext.getException() in the errorpage returns null.
So i do not know both the exception detail and the action who raised it.
How can i get this information?
Bye
IVan.

I recopied all of the tiles examples but not the docs. Oops, it works
great now. It might be good to move those lines up to the top of the file
so they are more noticable.
Thanks for the help, this looks great. It will save lots of time for me.

at the end of struts-config.xml, after </action-mappings> write :
<!-- ========== Associated Request Processor settings =================== -->
<!-- Here we specified the tiles processor -->
<controller processorClass="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesRequestProcessor">
</controller>
Can you confirm that you have similar settings in the struts-config.xml from the
downloaded tiles-doc.war ? Otherwise, you have a wrong version.

This is what I'm trying to do, use Struts 1.1. How do I specify in the
config that TilesRequestProcessor is necessary? I downloaded tiles.tar.gz
from your site yesterday at 4:44 pm CST.

TilesRequestProcessor has been committed with Tiles for Struts1.1 since 18/02.
It should be now in latest Struts nightly build. Also, you can download Tiles
from its main site, and choose development version. It is in it (I have just
check it ;-) ). Try to play with tiles-doc.war.
You need TilesRequestProcessor only if you use latest Struts1.1.

Sorry to be dense, but I can't find an example anywhere. This is what I
have in the web.xml action:
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.struts.tiles.ActionComponentServlet</servlet-class>
I can't find where to specify TilesRequestProcessor, searching the list

Once I figure out how to get this going, I probably will.

Do you use appropriate ComponentActionServlet and TilesRequestProcessor (if Struts1.1) ? If
not, specify the first in web.xml and second in struts-config.xml. Check tiles-doc or
struts-tiles example to know the syntax.
If you write modified ForwardAction, I will make it available in the distribution.

I have set up an action like this:
public class DaveAction extends Action {
public ActionForward perform(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException {
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
return (mapping.findForward("success"));
} // perform
}
With this in struts-config.xml
<action path="/dave"
type="com.foo.test.DaveAction">
<forward name="success" path="forward.dave.test.page" />
</action>
and this is my componentDefinitions.xml
<definition name="forward.dave.test.page" extends="mainLayout" >
<put name="title" value="Dave Testing" />
<put name="body" value="/dave.jsp" />
</definition>
But I still get a 500 error:

If I write such a class, would you consider including it in the
distribution? It is very useful, and would be even better with tiles.

Re: Struts 1.1 and Tiles
Posted by Cedric Dumoulin <ce...@lifl.fr>.
Hi Dave,
The normal way to use Tiles with Struts is to write your own action forwarding to a
logical name. This logical name can be linked to a Tile definition name :
<action path="/test/testAction"
type="org.apache.struts.example.tiles.test.TestActionTileAction">
<forward name="success" path="test.struts.action"/>
<forward name="failure" path="test.struts.action.fail"/>
</action>
Check examples coming with Tiles to know more.
The "org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction" do itself the forward to the page, and
is actually not designed to run with Tiles. It is easy to write a similar class to run
with Tiles : copy method processForward(...) in
org.apache.struts.tiles.ActionComponentServlet
to your new class. Copy method perform(...) from ForwardAction, and modify this later
to call processForward(...) rather than doing rd.forward().

Hi Cedric
I just downloaded tiles from your site and am proceeding to learn a few
things. Is org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction updated to use the
tiles functionality? I tried the line below and got an error:
<action path="/admin/message/read"
type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
parameter="dave.test" />
Error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: path must be absolute: `dave.test'
Is this a known problem or am I doing something incorrectly?

I have just updated Tiles to let them run with latest Struts nightly build
(1.1dev). This update add a new TilesRequestProcessor class. The struts-tiles.war
(or tiles-doc.war) are modified in order to take into account the new struts1.1
mechanism.
You can download new Tiles distributions from Tiles home site (choose
development version), or wait for Struts next nightly build.
