Re: Running the Tapestry Tutorial
Hi folks I have updated the INFO.txt file that is downloaded with the tapestry-tutorial - would somebody like to review and update this back into the zip file, it may help somebody else following me... Cheers mc-- Murray CollingwoodFocus Computingp +61 415 24 26 24http://www.focus-computing.com.au tapestry-libraries.tar.gz Ccontains just the Tapestry libraries, including all the current dependencies. tapestry-tutorials.tar.gz Contains the libraries as well as all of the Tapestry QuickStart tutorials. The QuickStart Tutorials are distributed as a set of Eclipse workspaces (though Ant build files are supplied as well). They depend on an Eclipse User Library to locate the libraries. You can create a User Library as follows: - Select Window -> Preferences... from the menu - Navigate to Java / Build Path / User Libraries - Click New - Name the library "Tapestry Libraries" - Click Add Jars ... - Add all the JAR files in the tapestry-libraries/lib/web folder To build the tutorials you needs ensure you are running JDK v5.0 (comes after v1.4). Extract the downloaded files to a new directory, eg C:\TapestryTutorials. Don't extract it into your existing workspace. From Eclipse select File | Import... 'Existing projects into workspace', click the 'Browse' button to select a root directory, select the directory you extracted your download to. In my case above I selected C:\TapestryTutorials. The import projects dialog should display all of the projects that can be imported, these include 'directlink', 'forms', and 'helloworld' (depending on the version of the tutorials you have downloaded). To build the projects you have imported you should find a 'build.xml' file inside each project. Right mouse on the 'build.xml' and select 'Run As' | 'Ant Build'. Problems: The most likely problem is an issue compiling the project due to errors with the annotations, eg "@Persist". If this is the problem then you need to find why your system is not using the JDK v5.0 libraries. It may still be referencing an older version somewhere. Check through the Windows | Preferences, the project properties (right mouse on the project), and the Ant build properties (right mouse on the 'build.xml' and select "Run As" | "Ant Build..."). tapestry-examples-xxx.tar.gz A prebuilt JBoss distribution, containing the Tapestry Workbench and Virtual Library applications. Unpack the distribution, change the bin directory, and use the run.bat or run.sh script to start up JBoss and the examples.

Re: Running the Tapestry Tutorial
Brilliant! I looked through the 'Ant Build...' dialog and found there was a 'tools.jar' file being referenced from a v1.4 installation on my computer. There was no 'tools.jar' in my 5.0 library...hmmm? I went hunting on my machine (good on Google Desktop) and found a tools.jar v5.0 in my "Program Files" directory, copied all of the libs from this area into my v5.0 j2se library and it now compiles perfectly. Now I can start the tutorial properly... Cheers mc -- Murray Collingwood Focus Computing p +61 415 24 26 24 http://www.focus-computing.com.au
Re: Running the Tapestry Tutorial
Just thought of this - its late here and I'm hot and tired... Actually did you try 'Run As > Ant Build...' and then setting the environment options? I've done that before and it worked.

Re: Running the Tapestry Tutorial
Thanks Jesse - I have now been able to load the tutorials. I found the best method was to extract the downloads to some location (not my workspace) and then within Eclipse do the Windows | Preference setting to identify the Tapestry Libraries, followed by File | Import an existing project, browse to the place I extract the downloads and they should all appear in the selection dialog. I'm having one more problem... "Syntax error, annotations are only available if source level is 5.0" The line being referenced is in Home.java and reads... "@Persist" I have loaded J2SE 1.5.0_07 yet still this problem remains. Is there something I've forgotten or missed Cheers mc -- Murray Collingwood Focus Computing p +61 415 24 26 24 http://www.focus-computing.com.au
Re: Running the Tapestry Tutorial
No idea what the tutorial stuff is showing, but I do know if you check out either tacos (http://tacos.sourceforge.net ) or the current tapestry4 trunk version (trunk from either project) you will find eclipse shared run configurations for the tacos demo or the upcoming (unreleased / documented) tapestry4.1 tutorial application.
