Help needed w/ Beginner's Practice Application

Hello Everyone,

I am new here and want to thank everyone that has contributed to this
project. I apologize in advance if the formatting of this becomes
poor.

I am experiencing issues with Part-2 of the "OFBiz Beginner's
Development Guide Using Practice Application". Part-1 works after i
add:

<handler name="screen" type="view"
class="org.ofbiz.widget.screen.ScreenWidgetViewHandler"/>

to my controller.xml file.

I have made many, many attempts at this, hacking little things here
and there and always get errors when running the application. These
have varied depending on what I have changed, but the latest one is
"java.lang.NullPointerException". I ended up unzipping the
practice.zip attachment and using sections of the files from it.

I have listed the steps below and commented where necessary:

-----------------Step 1: My CommonScreens.xml file is as
follows:----------------------------

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<screens xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://ofbiz.apache.org/dtds/widget-screen.xsd">
<screen name="main-decorator">

<section>
<actions>

<property-map resource="CommonUiLabels"
map-name="uiLabelMap" global="true"/>
<property-map resource="PracticeUiLabels"
map-name="uiLabelMap" global="true"/>

<set field="layoutSettings.companyName"
from-field="uiLabelMap.PracticeCompanyName" global="true"/>
<set field="activeApp" value="practice" global="true"/>
<set field="applicationMenuName"
value="PracticeAppBar" global="true"/>
<set field="applicationMenuLocation"
value="component://practice/widget/PracticeMenus.xml" global="true"/>
</actions>
<widgets>
<include-screen name="GlobalDecorator"

<decorator-section name="body">
<decorator-section-include name="body"/>
</decorator-section>
</decorator-screen>
</widgets>
</section>
</screen>
</screens>

-----------------------Step 2----------------------------------

I copied the contents of PracticeMenus.xml file from the practice.zip

-----------------------Step 3-------------------

Person.groovy created

------------------------Step 4----------------

Person.ftl created

------------------------Step 5--------------------

Here is my PracticeScreens.xml file:

--------------------Step 6--------------------------

<view-map name="Person" type="screen"

</site-conf>

When I run the application I get the "java.lang.NullPointerException"
error. I am sure I am making a trivial mistake, but any help with
this would be appreciated.

Many Thanks!!

Re: Help needed w/ Beginner's Practice Application

Hi CJay,

I have also followed the steps shown in this application tutorial and found no problems.
May be you are doing a small mistake in following the proper steps shown in the tutorial.
I didn't include ScreenWidgetViewHandler explicitly in my development it worked fine for me as all of the handlers are available to me from common-controller.xml file. Please provide the console log which will give a clear picture of the problem you are facing.

Thanks

Thanks for responding everyone!

I am using release version 695779.

Here is the error I get regarding the common-controller.xml file:

Re: Help needed w/ Beginner's Practice Application

The log is telling you that the
component://common/webcommon/WEB-INF/common-controller.xml file doesn't
exist. Check your folders.

I might be wrong, but it looks like you're trying to mix release 4 and
trunk code. That will cause a multitude of problems.

Re: Help needed w/ Beginner's Practice Application

Adrian,

You are correct that the file isn't there. In fact, the WEB-INF
directory isn't there. The only two things inside the
/common/webcommon directory are an includes directory and a login.ftl
file. As far as I know I haven't mixed release 4 and trunk versions.
I simply downloaded the version stated, unzipped, and ran it.

Re: Help needed w/ Beginner's Practice Application

Then something went wrong somewhere. The folder structure you described
is from Release 4. The common-controller.xml file was introduced well
after the Release 4 branch.

Re: Help needed w/ Beginner's Practice Application

Adrian,

If I download the current release.zip and unzip it, it should put that
file in there correct?

I am not sure how it would not be there.

Re: Help needed w/ Beginner's Practice Application

Adrian,

That was the issue. I was using the release version instead of the
Trunk. The application now works as expected. This also allowed me
to get familiar with svn and get it working on my box. I should have
read the instructions more carefully. =(

Hopefully others can learn from my mistake.

Thank you!

-CJ
