Hi,
1st off... Fantastic implementation! You nailed it. I just started using
dbForms today and like it alot.
Your user guide was good.
One thing I ran into as I was configuring my web app to use dbForms was a
null pointer
thrown by my app server (jetty 4.2 on win2000) when I first loaded a dbForm
page.
dbForms version:dbforms_2.0_20040124
It was showed up as a error message to the effect that the FileServlet could
not get
the config object [dbformsConfig].
After further investigation I tracked it down to the fact that
when ConfigServlet.initXMLConfigFile attempted to obtain a real path for the
web app.
String realPath = getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
This call returned a null because my webapp was in a war file and could not
get an
actual path.
This null ended up being passed to DbFormsConfig.setRealPath(String
realPath)
end threw the NPE.
I added a check for a null by changing the DbFormsConfig.setRealPath(String
realPath)
to the following:
/**
* Sets the realPath.
*
* @param realPath The realPath to set
*/
public void setRealPath(String realPath)
{
System.out.println("\n\nDbFormsConfig.setRealPath realPath="+realPath);
if (realPath != null && !realPath.equals(""))
this.realPath = realPath.replace('\\', '/');
else
realPath = "/";
}
It fixed the problem.
Now I will build up my app... I will probably have more questions.
Thanks for building dbForms.
