[Mav-user] Can't get dispatcher to work

2012-01-30 Thread Steven McGrew
Up for a blast from the past?

I am trying to run a very basic web app using Maverick mostly to learn
about the MVC framework. However, I am currently stymied by an error that I
keep getting. The dispatcher refuses to load.

This is the error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jdom.JDOMException
Full stack trace: http://pastebin.com/Sv4bs4r1
I get this error on both Tomcat 6 and Tomcat 4.1.30, with both JDom 1.0 and
the latest version.

I have maverick.jar in my WEB-INF/lib folder and I have the library added
to my build path. Here are snippets from my maverick.xml and web.xml,
respectively:

 views
 view id=MyView path=home.jsp
 /view
 /views

 commands
 command name=cmd
 controller class=controllers.MyController/
  view name=success path=success.jsp /
  view name=error path=failure.jsp /
 /command



servlet
display-nameMaverick Dispatcher/display-name
servlet-namedispatcher/servlet-name
servlet-classorg.infohazard.maverick.Dispatcher/servlet-class
load-on-startup2/load-on-startup
  /servlet
  servlet-mapping
servlet-namedispatcher/servlet-name
url-pattern*.m/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping

If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it.

I put jdom in my WEB-INF/lib folder as well. I assume that's what you
meant? I still got the same error. I guess I could fiddle with the Tomcat
shared directories but I'm not terribly optimistic about it. Pretty sure
Tomcat already has jdom configured.

This is just for research purposes only, to learn about the MVC framework
and to teach others about it using a simple example. Since Maverick is
lightweight and doesn't have unnecessary bells and whistles I decided to
start with it.

If I can't fix this relatively fast, then I'll go with tagonist. It looks
like it's even better suited to what I want.

  You seem to be missing jdom.jar from your classpath as well.  There
  will be a version in your maverick distribution, or you can find the
  latest version here:  http://www.jdom.org/

 Also, sometimes you can have class path issues if you have duplicate
 jars with different versions in your class path, so I'd check for that
 as well. Finally, Tomcat can be funky when it comes to where you put
 these jars, so you may have to play around with putting it (only) in
 WEB-INF/lib or one of the Tomcat shared directories.

  Are you actually contemplating Maverick or just doing research?
  Maverick is pretty dated, especially in an ajax-driven world.
  Post-Maverick I ended up developing http://tagonist.tigris.org/, which
  does most of what I needed from Maverick but in 500 lines of code...
  and now I use http://code.google.com/p/htmleasy/ + Cambridge for basic
  html rendering, although that tends to be fairly simple given that
  most data is rendered by javascript/ajax.

 And my 2c on that is that for years I've used Wicket (and in fact are
 one of the core contributors) but nowadays stay clear of Java web
 frameworks altogether. I tend to use just plain HTTP services using
 Jersey/ JAXRS and JavaScript directly (e.g. using jQuery, though I
 might throw in a framework like Angular). The only thing left then is
 something to dispatch requests and handle security. I use Wicket for
 that, just because I know it well, though you could just use a servlet
 filter for it or a light framework like HTMLEasy, which seems like an
 excellent choice.

 Good luck,

 Eelco
