Re: well formed xml and jsp?

2008-10-07T12:42:05Z

I'm not sure what you mean "about the JSP/XML style".

My general problem is that I was hoping to make Eclipse happy; right now I have several fragments that have the eclipse red circle error next to them, and in the Problems tab it says for the Description "Syntax error on token "}", delete this token" and the Location is line 0. Other errors for the same file in the Eclipse Problems:

Syntax error on token "catch", Identifier expected
Syntax error, insert "Finally" to complete TryStatement

There isn't any java code in these fragments; only html and jsp tags. It seems like it's going into the taglib code or unhappy about something with it. The web app runs fine when I deploy it or run it within eclipse with tomcat.

When I open the file in Eclipse there are no red error circles in the file, they're only in the Project Explorer next to the file names.

I think the underlying problem is something to do with the m2eclipse (maven 2) plugin for eclipse; sometimes things get out of whack with it. But this time I haven't been able to figure out what the proper incantation is to get rid of the red error circles.

In fact no, Tiles allows the reuse of *pieces* of pages, so they don't
have to be well formed (but the constructed pages does).
About JSP-well-formedness, the JSP pages have to be well-formed as
usual. Are you talking about the JSP/XML style?

well formed xml and jsp?

2008-10-07T11:34:39Z

My jsp fragments that Tiles is inserting start with the following:

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>

And then immediately after that use html/jsp like the following:

<ol class="menu">
<li>
<a href="search.zug">Search for a person</a>
</li>
...

This may be a silly/simple question, but can I add something to the top of the jsp fragments so that they're well formed xml and jsp, and not break tiles?

FYI I solved the problem. Without my knowledge, eclipse tomcat plugin had put
some configuration (for Eclipse WTP) including classpath definitions into tomcat
for my webapp context, in conf/Catalina/localhost.

This was automatic - I have never seen these before - and for reasons unknown
the classpaths included most of the jars I needed but not all of them.

And again for reasons unknown, this configuration had never affected me up until
earlier today when I changed the struts and tiles jars for newer versions.

So it was completely out of the blue and the only thing I gain from this is the
knowledge that Eclipse and the WTP tomcat plug-in are much more complicated than
I thought.

Mystery solved - until the next one!

Error configuring application listener of class
org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsTilesListener

I was working away happily until I decided a couple of hours ago to upgrade from
Tiles 2.0.4 to 2.0.6 and from Struts 2.0.9 to 2.0.11.2

However now I get the above error.

I have now checked over my configuration and projects and classpaths and can't
find any reason - the struts2-tiles-plugin-2.0.11.2 is there and it contains
org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsTilesListener as configured by my web.xml as a
listener!

I can't figure out what it is although I guess it must be something flakey to do
with the tomcat eclipse plug-in, or maybe an old tiles or struts jar lying
around where it should be anymore.

Anyone have any tips?

Do you mean that the JSP tags are not rendered at all? This could mean
only one thing, there is a problem in the inclusion of the tag
library.
May I see your <@taglib> directive?

the browser display from this is the path to the jsp.. not the rendered results.. so this insertAttribute seems to just output it's value to the browser.. I added an image to show you. Hopefully it attached correctly..

Ok, I'm using "userAttribute", importAttribute didn't seem to provide the values..So now the values are making it down 2 levels..

The page i'm trying to render uses: This chain of definitions.. With the changes Im seeing the values being passed to the ".tile.layout.content" Here are the values

Content Layout:pageContent../WEB-INF/layouts/tabbed_layout.jsp
Content Layout:sectionTitle..Grant Permissions
Content Layout:tabs../WEB-INF/views/chrome/gpoTabs.jsp
Content Layout:activeTab..Open Requests
Content Layout:tabPane../WEB-INF/views/content/gpo/requestsView.jsp

The content layout uses another insert
<tiles:insertAttribute name="pageContent">
<tiles:putAttribute name="sectionTitle">${sectionTitle}</tiles:putAttribute>
<tiles:putAttribute name="pageContent">${tabPane}</tiles:putAttribute>
<tiles:putAttribute name="tabs" >${tabs}</tiles:putAttribute>
<tiles:putAttribute name="activeTab" >${activeTab}</tiles:putAttribute>
</tiles:insertAttribute>
So these values are inserted here.. but nothing happens . I would expect the tabbed_layout.jsp to compile and render but nothing is happening. Everything stops at the content layout..

any idea why?

<definition name=".tile.layout.main" template="/WEB-INF/layouts/main_layout.jsp">
<put-attribute name="header" value="/WEB-INF/views/chrome/header.jsp"/>
<put-attribute name="pageTitle" type="string" value="REPLACE_ME"/>

You don't loose them, they are available to an "outer" context.
In the e-mail with the 3 options, the first was this:

<snip>
1. Use <tiles:importAttribute> to import attributes and then use it in
<tiles:putAttribute>

For example:

<tiles:importAttribute name="pageContent">
...
<tiles:insertAttribute name="pageContent">
<tiles:putAttribute name="pageContent" value="${pageContent}" />
</snip>

So you have to use the <tiles:importAttribute> tag (or
<tiles:useAttribute>) *outside* of <tiles:insertAttribute>.

Perfect interpretation, but the problem is that the
<tiles:getAsString> tag is inside a <tiles:insertAttribute>
When you use a <tiles:insertAttribute> you "open a new empty context",
where you put new attributes through the use of <tiles:putAttribute>.
So, when you use:
<tiles:getAsString name="contentPane" ignore="true"/>
in fact you are putting nothing. If you did not use the ignore="true"
attribute, it would have failed.

Re: Tiles not building extended content

ah.. Im trying to understand your comment about the strange code(BTW: i didn't write it I just have to support it)I'm also trying to understand it.. But let me use the home page as an example.. Here at the tiles templates involved/

<definition name=".tile.layout.main" template="/WEB-INF/layouts/main_layout.jsp">
<put-attribute name="header" value="/WEB-INF/views/chrome/header.jsp"/>
<put-attribute name="pageTitle" type="string" value="REPLACE_ME"/>
<put-attribute name="pageContent" value="REPLACE_ME"/>
<put-attribute name="footer" value="/WEB-INF/views/chrome/footer.jsp"/>
</definition>

<definition name=".tile.layout.content" extends=".tile.layout.main">
<put-attribute name="pageContent" value="/WEB-INF/layouts/content_layout.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="sectionTitle" value="REPLACE_ME" />
<put-attribute name="contentPane" value="REPLACE_ME" />
</definition>
<definition name="tile.home" extends=".tile.layout.main">
<put-attribute name="pageTitle" value="Publisher Central"/>
<put-attribute name="pageContent" value="/WEB-INF/views/content/home.jsp"/>
</definition>

The main layout jsp code is below.. I did a test to view the values of this code snippet below
the "<tiles:insertAttribute name="pageContent">" is equal to "/WEB-INF/layouts/content_layout.jsp " what happens is the " <tiles:putAttribute name="pageContent" ><tiles:getAsString name="contentPane" ignore="true"/></tiles:putAttribute>" sets the pageContent in the "content_layout.jsp" from the ".tile.layout.content".
<tiles:insertAttribute name="pageContent">
<tiles:putAttribute name="pageContent" ><tiles:getAsString name="contentPane" ignore="true"/></tiles:putAttribute>
<tiles:putAttribute name="sectionTitle" ><tiles:getAsString name="sectionTitle" ignore="true"/></tiles:putAttribute>
<tiles:putAttribute name="tabs" ><tiles:getAsString name="tabs" ignore="true"/></tiles:putAttribute>
<tiles:putAttribute name="activeTab" ><tiles:getAsString name="activeTab" ignore="true"/></tiles:putAttribute>

No, it's not your problem.

This piece of code does not work, since the <tiles:getAsString> does
not get an attribute from the context "outside" the
<tiles:insertAttribute>, but from a new context created with the
opening of the <tiles:insertAttribute> itself.
I think that you want to "pass through" the attributes from a template
to an inner template, right?

To fix it, you have three choices:
1. Use <tiles:importAttribute> to import attributes and then use it in
<tiles:putAttribute>

For example:

<tiles:importAttribute name="pageContent">
...
<tiles:insertAttribute name="pageContent">
<tiles:putAttribute name="pageContent" value="${pageContent}" />
....

2. Refactor your definitions (best choice with Tiles 2.0.x) to create
an inner definition and put it instead, so add a new level of nested
definitions.

3. Use Tiles 2.1 "cascaded" attributes: you can define an attribute
that cascades at all nested levels of attributes (documentation under
development).

Let me know how it goes.

Using Struts 2.0.11.2, Spring 2.5.2, tiles 2.0.4.

I searched the forum a bit and found a post that sort explained the problem I'm having. It seem that since my extends are going more than 3 deep is the problem(it wasn't a problem in tiles1). So, when I get some time Im going to see if make modifications to how deep I extend will work..

Here is the post nesting tiles 3 deep

the tiles definitions are not new they work in my current app that uses struts 1, tiles 1 and spring 2.5.2..
I just took the existing definitions and reused them but made the appropriate changes to the tags and definitions.
Here is the content of the main layout..

<script src="<s:url value="/resources/js/tooltip.js"/>" type="text/javascript"></script>

The "tile.gpo.openRequests" uses the
"/WEB-INF/layouts/main_layout.jsp" template. Are you sure that you

activeTab e tabPane?
Can you post the code of main_layout.jsp?
