I got rid of all the stuff I had created - GreyboxController, greybox.jsp,
and the reference to it in dispatcherservlet.xml. I am now back to using
loader_frame.html, which lives in /scripts/greybox_static/.
In default.jsp I have defined the GB_ROOT_DIR like this:
var GB_ROOT_DIR = "<c:url value='/scripts/greybox_static/'/>";
And in my jsp I have defined this line:
href="<c:url value='/findplaces.html'/>" onclick="return GB_show('Find
places', this.href)">Find places
This in turn tries to load the loader_frame.html page. I changed the
following line in my web.xml (in bold):
<filter>
<filter-name>staticFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.appfuse.webapp.filter.StaticFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>includes</param-name>
<param-value>/scripts/dojo/*,/dwr/*,/scripts/greybox_static/*</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>servletName</param-name>
<param-value>dispatcher</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
and no go. When I click on the above link it greys out the page and creates
a greybox but loads nothing in it. No errors. And if I try to load
/scripts/greybox_static/loader_frame.html directly in the browser it seems
that Spring MVC is still processing it because it is decorating the page.
Theoretically I shouldn't have to put this page in decorators.xml, correct?
The idea in putting it in the StaticFilter section of web.xml is so Spring
MVC does nothing at all with it, and lets it be served by the web server as
a normal html page.
Something tells me these fancy js scripts weren't designed to (easily) work
with complex envirnoments like Appfuse. For now I am going to use pop-ups.
Unfortunately the client has already seen and loves greybox. Ugh.
