Well I don't know if I'd go so far as to ask for Greybox to work with Appfuse
out of the box. I don't know if getting rid of pop-ups is something people
are generally interested in, and even if they were there are many flavors
out there (Thickbox, Thickbox reloaded, etc.), I'm not sure Greybox is a
standard or anything ...
That said, it would be swell if it did work. :) I think rather than change
all of my pages to be .htm so one single .html page will work correctly is
much more difficult that changing one page (loader_frame.html) to .htm and
leaving everything else alone. I've grown fond of .html.
By default does Spring MVC process *.htm files?
Shouldn't it be possible to tell Spring MVC not to process *.htm, either
with StaticFilter or somewhere else in web.xml? (Where do we tell Spring MVC
to handle *.html? I can't seem to find it ...)
Regardless, it should at the very least not decorate it, since I have
/scripts/greybox_static/* in my decorators.xml. But it does ...
I have to move along and actually do some core stuff for the project, for
the moment I am just going to use plain old pop-ups. I'll come back to it
and try your suggestions when I get a chance. If in the mean time someone
gets it to work, all the better.
Thanks,
Bob
