[OFBiz] Users - Root directory of the templates

Hello all,

I'm having problem with the Freemarker include directive.
I get an error if the included template is outside of the including file's
directory. Here's a scenario:

In ecommerce/includes/header.ftl I put <#include "cart/microcart.ftl">

As far as I know the "root directory of the templates" is set to
HttpServletRequest.getRealPath("/"), so the filename parameter should be OK,
but a TemplateException is raised: "Error reading included file..."

What's wrong?

Thanks for your time!

</Firas>

Firas,

I'm not sure about this, but until someone can answer definitively, I
think this is set in the jpublish.xml file.

Firas,
I believe Andrew is correct on this if you look in your
jpublish.xml file for your app you will see the following lines:


<page-root>WEB-INF/pagedefs</page-root>
<template-root>templates</template-root>
<action-root>WEB-INF/actions</action-root>

RE: [OFBiz] Users - Root directory of the templates

Andrew, Mike

Unfortunately this wasn't it. First, those settings (except action-root)
point to non-existing paths.

Second, the "template root directory" is set programmatically in
org.ofbiz.webapp.ftl.FreeMarkerViewHandler.init(), like this:
config.setDirectoryForTemplateLoading(new File(context.getRealPath("/")))

Which means the path (in ecommerce) is:
${OFBIZ_HOME}/applications/ecommerce/webapp/ecommerce

Any other thoughts?

RE: [OFBiz] Users - Root directory of the templates

Firas,

I'm not sure what you mean?

Why are the paths non-existent?

Can't you just create them?

RE: [OFBiz] Users - Root directory of the templates

Andrew,

What I meant to say is that path settings in jpublish.xml are seem to be
ignored. I've searched the whole source code (*.java) for reference to
'page-root', 'template-root' or 'action-root' but found none.

I'm pretty sure these settings are hard-coded in
org.ofbiz.webapp.view.JPublishWrapper.JPublishWrapper
and
org.ofbiz.webapp.ftl.FreeMarkerViewHandler

RE: [OFBiz] Users - Root directory of the templates

Firas,

jpublish.xml is loaded in JPublishWrapper.java, here's an excerpt...

// create the site context
try {
//siteContext = new SiteContext(contextRoot,
servletConfig.getInitParameter("config"));
siteContext = new SiteContext(contextRoot, "WEB-
INF/jpublish.xml");
siteContext.setWebInfPath(webInfPath);
} catch (Exception e) {
Debug.logError(e, "Cannot load SiteContext",
module);
}

I guess you don't see the attributes being referenced because it's a
JPublish binary that actually refers to them.

Kind Regards

RE: [OFBiz] Users - Root directory of the templates

Andrew,

Thank you for your time. You're of cource right about path elements beign
referenced by JPublish's binary code. But as I mentioned erlier, these
settings are ignored. And to make sure that I wasn't totally wrong I changed
the 'action-root' path to something really invalid and restared OFBiz. After
this change OFBiz (front-end/backend) was still working.

As I mentioned earlier freemarker template root directory is set by a call
in org.ofbiz.webapp.ftl.FreeMarkerViewHandler.init():
config.setDirectoryForTemplateLoading(new File(context.getRealPath("/")))

I guess we need the expertise of one of the gurus.

My regards,

</Firas>

Re: [OFBiz] Users - Root directory of the templates

If I were making the choice I wouldn't use JPublish at all... Just
use the Screen Widget.

RE: [OFBiz] Users - Root directory of the templates

David,

I have stuations where I need to include small snippets of a templatized
html in different places. I don't think that the overhead of Screen Widgets
are justified when a simple 'include' is more than sufficient. There are
also situations where I need to include templatized JavaScript files.

So I need to know: How do I include templatized files outside the directory
of the including template?

Thank you!

</Firas>
