Re: [OT] JavaWebParts and Struts / Ajax integration

Sorry to not reply sooner Peter... my web host has been under a major

Well that ok because I am now official on holiday (vacation ;-)

Hi Frank et Al

I am not sure if the latest 1.0 current version of JavaWebPart
actually distributes the right libraries.
If looks like ``javawebparts_core.jar'' has the wrong base dir.

It contains strangs paths that look incorrect e.g 
`javawebparts\core\org\apache\commons\beanutils'.

I would have thought it should have been `

`org\apache\commons\beanutils''



Those paths actually *are* correct... a few releases back we rolled in 
some Commons code so that there would be no external dependencies 
(except for Commons Logging, which we left external to try and alleviate 
any classloaded issues that might arise).  To do this, the packages were 
modified so that org/apache/commons/* is under javawebparts/core.




Ok that makes sense then. Maybe when people switch Maven 2 then this
dependency issues can be worked out.



In order to build the type suggestion, what are the correct jars
to include. I thought it was ``javawebparts_core.jar'' and 
``javawebparts_taglibs.jar''. Now I get a strange deployment
error like Error: Could not load asds: 
weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspException: (line 6): Error in using tag 
library uri='/tags/javawebparts_ajaxtags.tld' prefix='ajax': cannot 
find tag class: 'javawebparts.taglib.ajaxtags.AjaxEventTag'




I downloaded the 1.0 beta release version. I found that the binary
release included *.class in the javawebparts_taglib.jar file.
Also, I checked the javawebparts_core.jar file. This was fine.

I think there is problem with the `make_jars' in the ant build. I found
that running that ant target (re-)created all the jars, but the 
`javawebparts_taglib.jar' contained only the TLD and Manifest.mf. Weird.






That's right, only the core (which is always required) and the taglib 
jars should be required.


Yes I had a look at the cookbook examples (both of them). I deployed
them both to Weblogic and there both worked no problem at all. I think
I had to manually create a WAR files for both examples using `jar'.



I'm confused though... are you trying to build the cookbook apps or the 
sample app, or your own app?  It *looks* like a simple classpath issue, 
the taglib jar doesn't look to be found by Weblogic.  You can also take 
a look in your server logs... Every class in JWP does a dependency check 
at classload and will report via System.err any dependencies (outside 
the JDK) that it can't find.  I actually burned myself a week or so ago 
trying to use the Chain implementation and forgot to include the code 
JAR, and for a few hours my webapp was just silently not starting up, no 
errors or anything.  I finally figured it out (D'oh!) and decided *that* 
wasn't going to happen again :)


Frank



I am trying to add javawebparts to the current Struts project for my 
client at work. I am truying add to auto completion (Google Suggest) for
a couple administration screen in the application. I followed the 
instructions in the JavaDoc for the taglib. Unfortunately I could not 
deploy the application to Weblogic because somehow the taglibs were not 
being found. Somehow the project does not find the Javawebparts classes 
at all. I tried various things yesterday like playing around with the 
URI. Making sure that it was maps a taglib in the web.xml. I checked the 
build WAR that both libraries javawebparts_{taglib,core}.jar were being 
included in WEB-INF/lib.



Away from work I think this is classpath issue of some time. I bet
I have to set up the libraries in EAR as well, because of something
I found unusual in WebLogic 8.1 that my client uses. In Weblogic
that EAR classloader takes precedence over the WAR classloader.
So if there is class dependency in javawebparts that requires
a JAR loaded in the EAR classloader, then it fail of course.

The other weird thing, at work I use MyEclipse 4.0 and Eclipse 3.1 and
MyEclipse could not recognise the ajax:event or ajax:enable custom 
tags and it flagged them as unknown tags. The Struts tags are unknown.

This should have been a big clue to me, that something was wrong.
MyEclipse is normally very good at picking up any custom TLD. However it 
just underlinedin yellow any ajax:* tags. Crap, I dont know what is 
wrong until I get back to work in January 2006.


Frank, Could you check your distribution release is correct in the 
meantime? Could you write a very simple HOWTO and how to incorporate

AjaxTags with Struts?

[OT] Maven dependencies Commercial

2005-09-24 Thread Peter A. Pilgrim


I am getting into Maven using Struts and the OReilly A Developer Notebook 
edition.

One thing I am clueless about is how to tell Maven about a build that is not
in a repository like

weblogic.jar

?

How do tell Maven about ``commercial'' dependencies? Have any of you guys (and 
gals)
already done this in your professional development lives?

TIA

i.e ActionForm should have bean an Java interface.
In JSF there is a managed bean.
Niall discussed a wrapper to make any bean an action form.
(*) Why is Struts Chain not a simple interface and implementation
of the chain of responsibility pattern? Why does it have
to have portlets and servlets built into the package?
(*) Why does it take so long to get a Struts Release out of the door?
(*) What is exactly in Struts 1.2.4 release?
(*) Political angles between Struts and Java Server Faces?
(*) Postgres Database 8 availability for Windows Env
Subscribe to window postgres sql hacker list instead of
general announcements.
(*) Why is postgres better than Mysql for ACID transactions?
(*) Why is MysSQL ISAM tables faster than anything else
out there (for non-TX stuff).
(*) WebLogic Server, difficult of debugging EJBs thereof
(*) The difficult of getting approval from business  leaders,
who sanction the library version for a whole enterprises.
The classic statement: If it is not a FCS version, then
you cannot use that JAR in our company X..
(*) Related to the above, avoid polluting the dependencies
of different JARs, just so that such dependencies between
essential libraries cannot be minimised. Some organisation
have to explain every dependency and class in a JAR. Why is
it required? What it is? Where is it exactly been used?
Did I miss everything?
