Re: T5: CMS integration - multiple templates single controller?
Okay having to try both suggestions I'm finding that requirement of a
component class is what's making this simple requirement a difficult
excercise. I was able to get templates to load from a different
location on the filesystem, but that's not really my requirement.
Here is a very simplified scenario that would totally solve my problem:
* Basically all our CMS pages are static, so the controller class
would have been an empty Java class:
public class Page1 {}
public class Page2 {}
etc etc
We are totally fine with WAR based package structure
our.app.pages.cms
where all static pages go to cms package.
So to simplify my problem, all I really need is a way for Tapestry to
load all my pages in the cms package, without a Java class with a safe
assumption that it would have been empty one.
So is there a way to make Tapestry process a template without a Java
class? That's really, all I need.

No. On the other hand, you can have a Tapestry page to render different output based on activaction context or query parameters. If I had to implement a CMS, I would use a template engine like Freemarker, a WYSOWYG HTML editor like FCKeditor or even some wiki-like language to let users edit what they want and Tapestry for the rest. Tapestry templates were designed to be used by developers, not end users. -- Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo Independent Java, Apache Tapestry 5 and Hibernate consultant, developer, and instructor Owner, Ars Machina Tecnologia da Informação Ltda. http://www.arsmachina.com.br - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org
Re: T5: CMS integration - multiple templates single controller?
I guess worst case scenario we can precompile these empty classes
during our publishing process. Need to verify if that will work but
that would be the work around.

Re: T5: CMS integration - multiple templates single controller?
That's how I've done it in the past. With URL rewriting, this can be made even nicer in that you can map your more complicated url (with extra parameters/pathinfo) to a simpler url, and vice versa Robert On Jul 23, 2010, at 7/2311:45 AM , Adam Zimowski wrote: I was thinking about that Thiago :) In fact, that's about how we do it currently with Struts.

Re: T5: CMS integration - multiple templates single controller?
Tapestry never disappoints! Single page loading content from
activation context is so simple and easy, it just feels like the right
way to go!
Here is what I've got which pretty much works. Static publishable
content wrapped around a layout. Few questions regarding possible
improvements:
* Is there anything fundamentally wrong with what I have (I haven't
coded Tapestry in years)?
* Is there a better way to store file content (cache?). Not sure if
reading it on each access is the right way to go.
* I supposed I need to look for the right file name myself based on
the locale? page1.html page1_fr.html etc etc. We do that currently, so
no problem if not, but checking if there is any helpful utility
resolver out there?
my.app.tapestry.components
public class Cms {
@Parameter(required = true, defaultPrefix = BindingConstants.LITERAL)
private String target;
@Inject
private Locale locale;
@Inject
private Logger log;
@BeginRender
void renderMessage(MarkupWriter writer) {
log.debug(locale.toString());
File f = new File(cms/ + target + .html);
try {
String s = FileUtils.readFileToString(f);
writer.writeRaw(s);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
writer.writeRaw(bERROR/b reading file);
}
}
}
my.app.tapestry.pages
public class Info {
@SuppressWarnings(unused)
@Property(write=false)
private String target;
void onActivate(String aParam) {
target = aParam;
}
}
Info.tml
t:layout xmlns:t=http://tapestry.apache.org/schema/tapestry_5_0_0.xsd;
t:cms t:target=${target}/
/t:layout
projectRoot/cms/
- page1.html
Requesting 127.0.0.1/info/page1.html works like a charm :)

T5: CMS integration - multiple templates single controller?
One of the big features of our current Struts-based app (we are porting to T5), is the integration with content management system (we use RedDot). What we do currently, is we have a single Struts action, which inspects query parameter for CMS page, and dynamically streams the markup for that page (along with some Tiles magic). We also do some high-level URL rewriting to pretty-up page query parameter. In Tapestry, I was relating this to having a single page controller and multiple TML files. Is this possible? A big thing for us is that we need our CMS pages to contain a layout component with all the dynamic stuff, yet everything else on those pages is static, managed through CMS studio tool by entirely different (non-technical, business) team. These pages are to be published to a running deployment, of course with whatever frequency. So my questions are: * Specifically, is it possible and if so, how, to have single controller, multiple templates. * Any examples of existing CMS-Tapestry integration? We are likely to stay on RedDot with this project, but maybe there are some good ideas out there.

Re: T5: CMS integration - multiple templates single controller?
The tapx library includes a dynamic templating component that is probably perfect for your needs. Unfortunately, the documentation for tapx isn't building lately, so it's a challenge to know about it. I'll try and work on that over the next couple of days.
