RE: [Mav-user] Directory heirarchy when using Shunts Modes
I tried the code below. I can see the images at runtime, but not during design time. If I change the paths to see it at design time, then I can't see the images during runtime. head titleTest Page/title meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 / link href=en/includes/screen_styles.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css media=screen/ link href=en/includes/print_styles.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css media=print/ /head ... table width=100% border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 class=box1 tr td width=30 nowrapa href=http://www.lds.org; target=_topimg src=en/images/nav-small_christus.gif alt=The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints border=0 width=30 height=20/a/td td width=100% nowrapa class=anchorHeader href=http://www.lds.org; title=The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints target=_topThe Church of nobrJesus Christ/nobr of nobrLatter-day/nobr Saints/a/td td align=rightimg border=0 src=en/images/spacer.gif width=8 height=20/td td align=right nowrap valign=middle/td /tr /table Should I be using a transform to change the relative paths that Dreamweaver needs at design time to full paths that the browser needs at runtime? Maybe this is overkill, but I could use an XSLT to modify my Maverick.xml to include a default transform for all views that have *.vm files. This transform would change all the paths in the *.vm file to full paths. Please tell me that there's a better (and easier) way! :-) Thanks, Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/24/03 04:08PM Can you show an example of your vm files? I'm taking a wild guess at what you're trying to do here. Server-side includes will work with relative paths, however client-side includes won't. If you have a command something.m which includes a snippet of HTML like this: img src=images/foo.gif/ Then the browser is going to try to load the file /include/foo.gif - it has no idea how things are really structured on the backend. Your Japanese vm file needs to have a full path: img src=jp/images/foo.gif/ Does that explain the problem you're having?

RE: [Mav-user] Newbie: Velocity + Maverick question
Thanks. I appreciate your time and efforts. I figured that was the problem, but being such a Newbie, I was not able to articulate it. The WAR file included in the examples worked fine, but my job is to make this prototype fit within an established architecture. Is there any materials on absolute/relative paths you can refer me to? Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/13/03 02:42PM This is the friendbook-velocity example? I'm afraid you can't just take a webapp and move all the templates around. There are various relative and absolute paths encoded in the templates and the maverick config file. Moving around the files will break things. If you want to reference files with a path like /prototypes/uiprototype2, you need to design your webapp around those paths. This is not a Maverick issue, it's a J2EE (and web) issue regarding the way that paths are resolved in WAR files. If you're new to J2EE development, I strongly recommend that you start with well-established design approaches - build your application as a WAR file and deploy it that way. Start by putting all templates at the root of the WAR instead of building a hierarchy. Don't try to create an expanded directory structure in JBoss. The ant buildfile for friendbook-velocity should be good to start with.
