An acronym for "auto int key persistable", aikp provides a persistable that automatically generates its own integer key; aikp also includes a Struts action that automates typical aikp operations: new, edit, save, and delete.

A collection of classes used to build Struts applications that support authentication and authorization. Subclass {@link com.methodhead.auth.AuthAction AuthAction} to control who executes actions. Use {@link com.methodhead.auth.LoginAction LoginAction} to log users in and out of an application. These classes work with users that implement {@link com.methodhead.auth.AuthUser AuthUser}.

To integrate this package into your application:

1. Install the following resources appropriately in your web application:

   • Struts 1.1 files
   • mhf.jar

2. From {@link com.methodhead.auth.LoginAction LoginAction's javadocs}, copy the action mappings, forwards, and forms into your struts-config.xml.

3. From {@link com.methodhead.auth.LoginAction LoginAction's javadocs}, copy the message resources into your application resources file.

4. Update the /login mapping's parameter with the appropriate user class for your application.

5. Make sure the following resources (or their equivelant) are in your application:

   • login.jsp
   • accessdenied.jsp
   • index.jsp

   Be sure to update the action mappings appropriately if you use your own resources.

This library provides classes the provide a foundation for database applications.

{@link com.methodhead.persistable.ConnectionSingleton ConnectionSingleton} provides access to named database connection pools. {@link com.methodhead.servlet.ConnectionServlet ConnectionServlet} can be used to initialize a ConnectionSingleton in a webapp.

{@link com.methodhead.persistable.Persistable Persistable} (and its subclass {@link com.methodhead.persistable.KeyedPersistable KeyedPersistable}) serve as the foundation for objects used to access data in a database.

{@link com.methodhead.test.DbTestCase DbTestCase} is a test case that uses a ConnectionSingleton to provide database access.

Provides the classes around which multi-site applications are built. Multi-site applications segment data according to a {@link com.methodhead.sitecontext.SiteContext}. Classes that implement {@link com.methodhead.sitecontext.SiteContextCapable} are expected to operate with respect to a site context.

If no site context (or a null site context) is set, a SiteContextCapable is expected to operate with respect to no context in particular.

Using {@link com.methodhead.property.Property} as an example, when its site context is set, {@link com.methodhead.property.Property#loadAll} will load all properties defined for that context. If no context is set, loadAll will return properties defined for all contexts.

A collection of utility classes.
