RE: Pass custom parameters into an XSP

Actually, you don't need to override setup().

The base class of the XSP generated class already does that and provides "protected Parameters parameters;"

You can use directly in <xsp:logic>

String entityType = this.parameters.getParameter("entityType");

including the other nice features of Parameters such as defaulting and converting to int, boolean, and so on.

Wow. I did not know you could use the XSP to override the setup method. That is VERY helpful. Thanks!!

Subject: AW: Pass custom parameters into an XSP

hi collin,

with XSPs an easier alternative would be to pass your 'parameter' as a request parameter.

then you would:

<map:match pattern="edit.xml">

    <map:generate type="serverpages" src=""/>

    <map:serialize type="xml"/>

</map:match>

<map:match pattern="edit/*">

    <map:generate src=""/>

    ...

</map:match>

then you can get the request parameter from within your XSP via the request logicsheet (<xsp-request:get-parameter>) or via embedded logic (request.getParameter ()).

the other alternative; passing the parameter as a sitemap parameter:

<map:match pattern="edit/*">

    <map:generate type="serverpages" src="">

        <map:parameter name="entityType" value="{1}"/>

    </map:generate>

    ...

</map:match>

for this to work you have to embed the appropriate logic into your XSP for retrieving that parameter; as your compiled XSP is a generator in the end you accomplish this by overriding its setup() method and process the parameter(s) there.

just as a hint (take a look at the respective sources/docs):

<xsp:page language="java" ...>

<xsp:logic>    

    public void setup (SourceResolver resolver, Map objectModel, String src, Parameters params) throws ...

    {

        // process parameter(s) here

        ...

        super.setup (resolver, objectModel, src, params);

    }

</xsp:logic>



</xsp:page>

Betreff: Pass custom parameters into an XSP

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how I can pass in custom parameters into an already existing generator such as the XSP/serverpages generator. Here's my scenario:

I receive a request for /edit/page

Which matches /edit/*

So from this matcher, I have {1} == "page".. I want to pass this off to let's say

/docs/xsp/edit/item.xsp as a parameter named "entityType"

So that in the XSP I can access the "entityType" variable.

I think I'm missing something obvious. If someone could point me into the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

thanks,

Collin
