Hi Eddie, so many questions, not bad for a beginner ;). Unfortunately, I do not know answers :(
> However, I still encounter some problems, please some help (I am using > dbForms 1.1) ? > 1) If I put the following mapping in my web.xml, tomcat gives an error and > the web site doesn't work. How do I solve this ? If I do the same with > Orion, I don't get an error, but I want it to work with Tomcat > ------------- > Apache Tomcat/4.0.3 > ERROR reading java.io.ByteArrayInputStream@45eb > At Line 36 /web-app/servlet-mapping/ > ------------- > Yes, that looks like an error when reading web.xml, but a strange and not very helpful message... Does it also occur when you use the example applications? > 2) How can I change the url port in the html output ? The site is running > under http://localhost:9000. However the base tag it generates doesn't > contain the port. I can't find how to indicate the port as the <db:base> tag > doesn't allow any attributes. > Also strange, the port should be automatically inserted, source code inside BaseTag.java is: public int doStartTag() throws JspException { HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)pageContext.getRequest(); StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer("<base href=\""); buf.append(request.getScheme()); buf.append("://"); buf.append(request.getServerName()); int port = request.getServerPort(); if(port!=80) { buf.append(":"); buf.append(port); } buf.append(request.getRequestURI()); buf.append("\">"); JspWriter out = pageContext.getOut(); try { out.write(buf.toString()); } catch (IOException e) { throw new JspException(e.toString()); } return EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE; } } I always use other ports for HTTP connector... > 3) .... dbforms seems to be unable to generate an event... Eddie, it looks like something is still going wrong when starting up the application, many of your problems are propably consequences of this failure. Unfortunately I have no idea what it is... > 4) When I use the GUI to generate the JSP's the JSP shows that data type > "bit", "uniqueidentifier", "datetime" are not supported. If I then insert an > entry for this data type manual it is correctly shown in the HTML. Are these > types supported ? or how should I handle them ? > That is true. DevGui and XSL stylesheets do not know (and will never know) the names of all column types in all dbms. The next version of devgui will contain an option to write standard type names for unknown types to the dbforms-config.xml. That should be a step forward. > 5) How and where can I search only the dbForms mailinglist ? > I think this question is on the FAQ without a known answer.
