Hi Gareth,
see comments inline:
regards, Achim
Hello Achim,
I am using the following PAX modules:
pax-confman-propsloader-0.2.2.jar
pax-url-classpath-1.3.4.jar
pax-url-war-1.3.4.jar
pax-url-wrap-1.3.4.jar
pax-web-extender-war-1.1.1.jar
pax-web-extender-whiteboard-1.1.1.jar
pax-web-jetty-bundle-1.1.1.jar
pax-web-jsp-1.1.1.jar
I found my problem :). There were two issues:
yeah another touch the screen bugfix :-)
- I needed to explicity add my jstl libs to the classpath in the
manifest. I need to do this because it is a wab (not a plain war)?
I guess I got confused by this line in the ops4j web page "Tag libs
are searched within this war and it's containing jars". My bad.
I guess this really can be misinterpreted. Well if you build a Wab you
have to do this
by yourself, if it's a war without any OSGi Manifest it's generated by
pax-url-war that does
the "magic" for you. In that case the jars are added to the manifest
entries.
- To verify the JSPs generated, I was setting the
org.ops4j.pax.web.jsp.scratch.dir to actually see the generated code
and compare it to what
tomcat produced. When I first fixed the classpath, stopped and
restarted my equinox OSGi container, Pax Web was not regenerating the
JSP java code (I eventually realized I had to go and explicitly delete
it). Is that expected behaviour? If I clear the
"org.ops4j.pax.web.jsp.scratch.dir"
and retries (i.e. run once with bad classpath, then run with good
classpath), then PAX Web apparently does regenerate the JSP code as my
wab worked correctly with the correct classpath. Where does the
generated JSP code go if "org.ops4j.pax.web.jsp.scratch.dir" is set to
""?
OK, this is kind of tricky :-)
The thing is that actually this scratch.dir is passed to jetty so it's
up to jetty on how to handle
generation and regeneration of JSPs.
If the scratch.dir is set to "" it's your root folder like / or on
windows it's the root directory where your application is run in.
Appended with bundleId_bundleSymbolicName.
Thanks very much again for your help.

Hi Gareth,
which bundles of Pax web do you use?
actually it should work that you place your taglibs inside your wab's
lib directory.
Those libs are scanned for taglibs at the start of the webcontext.
Could you also take a look at the integration tests of pax web.
I think I did something similar there for the JSF (1.2) tests so
it should work.
If it still doesn't work for you, don't hesitate to open an issue and please
add a nice description (or even better a sample) so I can build a test for it.

Hello,
I am in the process of migrating some wars to be wabs to run in Pax
Web (1.1.1 running currently in equinox in Eclipse Indigo).
I am starting to test and I am noticing that Pax Web is not executing
the c:out tag correctly. e.g.:
if token = "FRED"
and the JSP is:
<string><c:out value="${token}"/></string>
tomcat at runtime (which uses jasper) is converting this to be:
<string>FRED</string>
whilst PAX Web at runtime (which also uses jasper) is converting this to:
<string><c:out value="FRED" /></string>
Any idea what could cause this? PAX Web provides the tag libraries,
doesn't it? Even adding
the tag libraries to the war in the WEB-INF/lib dir (as is done for
tomcat), doesn't appear to change the behaviour.
I am sure I am missing something obvious. Any help/suggestions would
be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance,
Gareth
