Hi,
I spent some time this morning trying to test out the RC2 build and ran into an
issue trying to define additional containers (our internal implementation
defines additional containers beyond "default" and I was trying to get that
working). As a test I defined a new container called "foo" and tried using it
to render gadgets. Rendering gadgets with the default container seemed to be
mostly working, but whenever I specified the foo container the gadget rewriters
seemed to spit back invalid links.
Here is what I did to test:
-- Downloaded the RC2 WAR file from here:
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheshindig-091/org/apache/shindig/shindig-server/2.0.0-RC2/shindig-server-2.0.0-RC2.war
-- Renamed it to ROOT.war and dropped it into my Tomcat 6 webapps directory
-- Added my new container definition to the shindig.properties file:
shindig.containers.default=res://containers/default/container.js,res://foo_container.js
-- Created the foo_container.js container definition under WEB-INF/classes with
the following content (inheriting everything from the default container):
{"gadgets.container" : ["foo"]}
-- Tried rendering the New York Times gadget with the following URL's:
http://localhost:8080/gadgets/ifr?container=default&url=http://widgets.nytimes.com/packages/html/igoogle/topstories.xml
(default container)
http://localhost:8080/gadgets/ifr?container=foo&url=http://widgets.nytimes.com/packages/html/igoogle/topstories.xml
(foo container)
When rendering with the default container things looked mostly right (except it
seemed to be missing some CSS styling), but with the foo container I got links
back in the rendered gadget code that look something like this:
<link
href="http://:/gadgets/proxy?container=foo&gadget=http%3A%2F%2Fwidgets.nytimes.com%2Fpackages%2Fhtml%2Figoogle%2Ftopstories.xml&debug=0&nocache=0&refresh=86400&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgraphics8.nytimes.com%2Fcss%2Fapp%2Figoogle%2Fhome-merged.css";
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
I thought maybe the inheritance from the default container configuration wasn't
working properly so I tried copying all of its content directly into the
foo_container.js file (changing the container name from default to foo) but I
still ended up with the same issue.
Anyone else seeing similar issues or have any other suggestions on what else to
try?
Thanks,
--Jesse
