Apache OFBiz development

[Wicus]

Hi,

Working through the Apache OFBiz development : The Beginner's Tutorial, I'm experiencing the following error when trying to update the User-Interface (when creating a new enitity) as explained on pages 39 - 41.

Error rendering included template at location [component://party/webapp/partymgr/party/editcontactmech.ftl]: freemarker.core.ParseException: Encountered ">" at line 185, column 127 in component://party/webapp/partymgr/party/editcontactmech.ftl. Was expecting one of: "}" ... "." ... "[" ... "(" ... "?" ... "!" ...  ... "??" ... "+" ... "-" ... "*" ... "/" ... "%" ... "!=" ... "=" ... "==" ... ">=" ...  ... ">" ...  ...  ...  ... ".." ...  ...  ...


Line 185 only goes to column count 116.... and is as follows:-


<input type="text" size="30" maxlength="100" name="planet" value="${(mechMap.postalAddress.planet)!"}">



Herewith a snippet from my editcontactmech.ftl

Hello Wicus,

<input type="text" size="30" maxlength="100" name="planet"
value="${(mechMap.postalAddress.planet)!"}">

In this line you have included extra double quote(") before } so remove it and give it a try...

<input type="text" size="30" maxlength="100" name="planet"
value="${(mechMap.postalAddress.planet)!"}">

should be

<input type="text" size="30" maxlength="100" name="planet"
value="${(mechMap.postalAddress.planet)!}">

When changing the statement to:


<input type="text" size="30" maxlength="100" name="planet" value="${(mechMap.postalAddress.<b>planet)}">


Ofbiz is happier, yet does not display as expected. (Please refer to attached pic)

Hello Wicus,
Actually you are getting error in second input box of missing "!"
(if_exists) at the end of value and should be like.

<input type="text" size="30" maxlength="100" name="planet"
value="${(mechMap.postalAddress.planet)!}">

Thanks for the reply guys.

Though it does display now, the specific text box already has "(mechMap.postalAddress.planet)!" within it... where it should actually wait for user input before writing to / reading from the database...





The entity definition was created within \applications\party\entitydef\entitymodel.xml as

<field name="planet" type="name"></field>

within the <entity entity-name="PostalAddress"
                  package-name="org.ofbiz.party.contact"
                  title="Postal Address Entity">

and above the </entity> line

thereby adding a new field named planet to the data entity PostalAddress

If I'm correct in the abovementioned, why is my text box reflecting the (mechMap.postalAddress.planet)!  ???

Thanks for any advice once again.

Thanks once again to all whom replied to my query.

It is really appreciated.

The errata has been already submitted to http://www.packtpub.com/support/book/apache-ofbiz-development-beginners-tutorial

and is as follows:-

page 41 Code 19 Nov 08

Under the heading 'Editing the User-Interface', in the code line: value="${mechMap.postalAddress.planet)!"}">
the second double-quote and the exclamation mark should not be present.
This code should read:
value="${(mechMap.postalAddress.planet)}">
