Hi, I've been asked to summarize my path of making the example app of the tdk 2.3 v20030905 work
1. first of all download the tdk 2.3 from http://jakarta.apache.org/~mpoeschl/ 2. read carefully the tdk howto at http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/tdk/tdk-howto.html and do all that is written there 3. your jdk must be 1.4 at least (for tomcat), mine is 1.4.2_01 4. chagne the TDK_HOME/ancillary/web.xml to contain the following <web-app> <servlet> <servlet-name>@PROJECT@</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.turbine.Turbine</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>applicationRoot</param-name> <param-value>@APP_ROOT@</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>properties</param-name> <param-value>@APP_PROPERTIES@</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>@PROJECT@</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/@PROJECT@/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>templates</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/templates/*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>logs</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/logs/*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint> <role-name>admin</role-name> </auth-constraint> </security-constraint> <login-config> <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method> <realm-name>Templates</realm-name> </login-config> </web-app> save the file 5. setup everything as told in the tdk turorial and run the build 6. go to the webapps/newapp (or whateer name you gave it, I'll use webapp) and remove the servlet.jar from the web-inf/lib dir 7. in TDK_HOME/conf/web.xml uncomment the following element <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> 8. I kicked out the "example" context from TDK_HOME/conf/server.xml couse the error was annoying me but I believe it is not necessary 9. I corrected the templates (VTL) according to the guidelines at http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/turbine-2.3/howto/velocityonlylayout-howto.html but the app runs without it anyway (just na <html> tags are present but IE and Mozilla tolerate that...) 10. but modify first the build.props from newapp/web-inf/build/ according to the TDK howto - add tdk.home, define database props and add the torque.xxx props for the database 11. run the init task of the newapp/web-inf/build/build.xml, but (!) ant will need the servlet.jar to compile in it's classpath so either add it to claspath in the build.xml, or if you use Eclipse as I do just add the jar in ant's properties to the classpath (e.g. from TDK_HOME/tdk/lib) 12. run tomcat and call your app with your browser at http://localhost:8080/newapp/servlet/newapp it worked for me, I turned off the log4j files cause it only gave me lots of FileNotFounds .. but I believe I'll get it working some time ;) .. if you have any questions or corrections feel free to comment on this just for the record: I used WinXP Pro and MySQL 4.x additionally if you're trying to get your encoding (e.g. UTF-8) to work add/change the following lines to your TR.props to services.VelocityService.input.encoding=UTF-8 services.VelocityService.output.encoding=UTF-8 services.VelocityService.default.contentType=text/html; charset=utf-8 locale.default.charset=UTF-8 this worked for my templates edited and encoded with utf-8 to be viewed properly in the browser .. I hope I didn't loose anything, and that it will help someone -- Regards, ilfrin mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
