Fail to follow "OFBiz Tutorial - A Beginners Development Guide"

[Frédéric Bouquet]

Hi folks,

I've started playing with Ofbiz a few days ago but I can't manage to follow
the beginners tutorial [1].

In short, at the end of Part 1, when I try to access
http://localhost:8080/practice/control/main : I get a 404 error.
I first tryed by creating all the files from scratch but it did not work.
Then, I tryed to start by a ant create-component and change the files the
tutorial says to create but I get the same result.

I also tryed with a create-component without modifying any file and here, I
had the possibility to access the web application.

Concerning the build, I tryed with 10.04.02 and from the trunk.

Does anyone have an idea ?

Thank you

I'd suspect a typo somewhere, but just a guess...

Since it's a 404, I guess you have any clues in the log?

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.
In the logs, I can see a
Loading component : [practice]
but not LOADING WEBAPP corresponding to this project.
I don't have any error.

I can see in the access logs :
"GET /practice/ HTTP/1.1" 302 - [...]
GET /practice/control/main HTTP/1.1" 404 1018 [...]

So, the redirect works well (I have
a <%response.sendRedirect("control/main");%> in my index.jsp at the root of
the webapp) but the corresponding information are not found.

Here's my controller.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<site-conf xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
           xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="
http://ofbiz.apache.org/dtds/site-conf.xsd">
    <include
location="component://common/webcommon/WEB-INF/common-controller.xml"/>
    <description>Practice Component Site Configuration File</description>
    <owner>Copyright 2001-2009 The Apache Software Foundation</owner>
    <handler name="screen" type="view"
class="org.ofbiz.widget.screen.ScreenWidgetViewHandler"/>

    <request-map uri="main">
        <security https="false" auth="false"/>
        <response name="success" type="view" value="main"/>
    </request-map>

    <view-map name="main" type="screen"
page="component://practice/widget/PracticeScreens.xml#main"/>
</site-conf>


Do you need an other file to help me investigate the problem ? (In fact, I
made a copy paste from the tutorial)
Do I need the CommonScreens.xml to be present in the widget folder ? It
does not change anything in my case but I prefer asking.

Thank you

How does your web.xml look like?

You need there an entry for the Control Servlet mounted at "/control/*"

----start-----
<servlet>
         <servlet-name>ControlServlet</servlet-name>
         <display-name>ControlServlet</display-name>
         <description>Main Control Servlet</description>
<servlet-class>org.ofbiz.webapp.control.ControlServlet</servlet-class>
         <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
     </servlet>

     <servlet-mapping>
         <servlet-name>ControlServlet</servlet-name>
         <url-pattern>/control/*</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>

     <session-config>
         <session-timeout>60</session-timeout> <!-- in minutes -->
     </session-config>
     <welcome-file-list>

         <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
         <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
     </welcome-file-list>
---- stop -----

The next error you'll get is when you don't have mainDecorator setup in
your web.xml and the context-filter.

Hi,

Thank you, you point the problem. I did not have the Control Servlet. I
added it and now it works well. I had the mainDecorator section but not the
filter associated and I was getting a NPE from the VisitHandler.

For my information, what does this control servlet do ? And what's the
difference between the mainDecorator and the view-map (name=main) I declare
in controller.xml ? (In fact, if you know which doc I can read about it).

I think we can improve the tutorial by adding a few words on this.

Cheers

Hi Frédéric,

I saw your series of article at http://www.espacedefouille.org/, thanks for your interest in OFBiz!

>what does this control servlet do
As Javadoc says : <<ControlServlet.java - Master servlet for the web application.>>
Unfortunately http://ci.apache.org/projects/ofbiz/site/javadocs/ (link from site main page) is currently unvailable (or rather very
slow) but you can look
at the source into ControlServlet.java, then you may have a look into RequestHandler class which does most of controller reltated
stuff.

>mainDecorator
See <screen name="main-decorator">.
It's one of the decorators used  in screen widgets to decorate (using the decorator pattern
concept) screens defined in *screens*.xml files. Especially it's one of the most importants, reused by others. Look into any
CommonScreens.xml file for specific details

>view-map (name=main)
See <request-map uri="main">
It refers to a view-map like
<view-map name="main" type="screen" page="component://accounting/widget/CommonScreens.xml#main"/>
in almost all controller, it's unrelated to mainDecorator , just a page to go

Please feel free :o) We will then review...
