RE: [Mav-user] Eclipse plugin
Thanks a lot for this release and very clear example. Attached is DevelopmentControllerFactory that should be used during development only. It allows on-the-fly redefinition of controller classes and faster redeployment of really big web applications using Maverick. For details, plz, read Java Docs in DevelopmentControllerFactory.java. Since base controller class of my apps extends throwaway bean, it's tested using throwaways only. Anyway, I hope it is of value for someone.

A new release is out now, supporting a pluggable controller factory. Note that one of the other changes for this release is the dependency on Commons Logging instead of Log4J.

RE: [Mav-user] Eclipse, log4j, etc.
AFAICS, Tomcat (at least 4.1.18) has its own commons-beanutils.jar in its server/lib. It could conflict with the one you added to Tomcat classpath. The jars in Tomcat's server/lib directory are not visible from webapps. However, the jars in common/lib and shared/lib are. That's it. But exception is thrown by Catalina itself, and not a webapp. So if this: add commons-beanutils.jar ... to the Tomcat classpath means adding commons-beanutils.jar to CLASSPATH in catalina.bat, or changing CLASSPATH environment variable, or smth similar, a conflict could be the case. However exception is strange, and the reason could be anything else. exception from Todd's letter: Catalina.start: java.lang.NullPointerException java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.createSAXException(Digester.java: 2540) at org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.createSAXException(Digester.java: 2566) at org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.endElement(Digester.java:1061) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.endElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractXMLDocumentParser.emptyElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanStartElement(U nknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$FragmentContentDis patcher.dispatch(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(Unkno wn Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.DTDConfiguration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XMLParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.parse(Digester.java:1548) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:449) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.execute(Catalina.java:400) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.process(Catalina.java:180) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.jav a:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessor Impl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:203) --- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.

[Mav-user] xslt+fop+utf-8
Hi there, I have problems with encoding when using xslt and fop transforms together. The problem is that in resulting pdf some characters are missing (see attachment test.pdf) they change to box and '?'. Maybe I did something wrong. Has anyone experienced similar problems? If so, could you suggest any solution? Here is my sample command: - command name=test view path=test.jsp transform path=test.xsl type=xslt/ transform type=fop output=pdf config=userconfig.xml/ /view /command - test.jsp - %@ page language=java contentType=text/html;charset=UTF-8% rootrussian text here, like this: - ./root - test.xsl - ?xml version=1.0? xsl:stylesheet version=1.0 xmlns:xsl=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform; xsl:output method=xml indent=yes encoding=UTF-8/ xsl:template match=/ fo:root xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format; fo:layout-master-set ... ... xsl:value-of select=./ ... - You see, everything is supposed to be in UTF-8. I tried to find reasons in code and here is what I found. I looked through code for FopTransform.java and found that it creates bytes from string without specifying encoding (using default, not utf-8), though i think, it might pass utf-8 as param here: --- 204: byte[] bytes = input.getBytes(); --- and it looks like also in FopTransform.java getOutputAsString() returns string created with default (not utf-8) encoding. Note that it is created from data of xslt transform with utf-8 output encoding, --- 157: this.go(this.fakeResponse.getOutputAsString()); --- so, it looks like this sequence of conversions ~ 157: new String(bytes written by xslt transform with output encoding UTF-8 to FakeHttpServletResponse with default, not utf-8 encoding) ~ 204: [that string].getBytes() - without encoding, supposed that bytes will be in win-1251 looses some characters. Thanx in advance, Yura. test.pdf Description: test.pdf
[Mav-user] weblogic: change from *.m to *.mav w/o changing code
Greetings,
I've got a problem with deployment of mav based apps on wls. The reason is that wls
doesn't understand servlet mapping
servlet-mapping
servlet-namedispatcher/servlet-name
url-pattern*.m/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping
and wants to see longer extensions such as
servlet-mapping
servlet-namedispatcher/servlet-name
url-pattern*.mav/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping
I don't want to change my JSP's and mav config files, because there are really lots of
them, and I hope someday WLS'll fix it. For now I want a quick fix, so that i won't
change references throughout my apps from users.m to users.mav. I want something like
this:
-
filter
filter-namemav/filter-name
filter-classForwardFilter/filter-class
/filter
filter-mapping
filter-namemav/filter-name
url-pattern/*/url-pattern
/filter-mapping
...
servlet-mapping
servlet-namedispatcher/servlet-name
url-pattern*.mav/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping
-
public class ForwardFilter
implements javax.servlet.Filter
{
public void doFilter(ServletRequest servletRequest, ServletResponse
servletResponse, FilterChain filterChain)
throws IOException, ServletException
{
HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest = (HttpServletRequest)servletRequest;
String requestUri = httpServletRequest.getRequestURI();
if (requestUri!=null requestUri.endsWith(.m))
{
RequestDispatcher rd =
servletRequest.getRequestDispatcher(requestUri.substring(0,requestUri.length()-2)+.mav);
rd.forward(servletRequest,servletResponse);
}
else
{
filterChain.doFilter(servletRequest, servletResponse);
}
}
}
---
It works fine for most cases, but not when I use includes (say, c:import
url=countBugs.m/ in JSP).
As far as i understood, WLS doesn't invoke filters for includes, so my approach
doesn't work.
Colud you suggest smth alike, but different?
Cheers,
yurazlin.

Re: [Mav-user] Specifying external maverick.xml
I'm interested in specifying config, config-transform and XSLs outside of war/ear file, i.e. in ability to have them unpacked in a file system under project root and updating of maverick without rebuilding of war/ear file during development. I think that the best solution to the problem is factoring out all access to file resources in a single place and adding check for config parameter specifying www-root in a file system when accessing a resource there. This check was done in a piece of code I posted to this list earlier. I think that the variable xslDir used there should be renamed to fileWwwRoot or smth and given that semantics. I've read discussion about reloading of xsl files only when they are changed in early letters of this list discussing preload of xsls, but I cannot figure out how can I use this feature because when I change xsl I have to rebuild ear/war and redeploy it. It results in restarting of whole web app by container and all xsl files are reloaded regardless of wheteher they were changed or not. If it is possible to avoid it, could you, please, advise me how?
