Ok - Thought I would update the list incase someone else in the future has
trouble.
I was able to compile a simple test using the OpenBlueDragon.jar instead of
"cfx.jar" from previous ACF days.
Mind you this is a simple "hello world" type of test tag at this point.
Next speed bump was registering the tag with OpenBD.
Kept getting an error message that the server was unable to register the
tag. After some more digging I found that another
person was having trouble with this on a slightly related topic ... so I
tried his fix and was able to register the tag.
I had to edit the catalina.properties file and add the {opened}/classes
folder to the end of the "common.loader" line. In my
installation it was "/opt/opendb/classes". This allowed me to register the
tag.
Next was to create a test.cfm page and call the custom CFX tag and see if I
get the proper output. Did so, hit the page and got
an error that says:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: MLSRetsConnector, tags
folder=$/opt/openbd/classes/
I remembered an issue I had when trying to consume remote soap service that
required me to remove the leading "$" from the libpath
in the blue dragon.xml file. So, noticing that the error message was
listing the "tags folder" with a leading "$" I edited the bluedragon.xml
file to remove the leading "$" from the <classes></classes> line. So now my
classes line looks like the following:
<classes>/opt/openbd/classes</classes>
Restarted and now I get the proper output from the simple custom CFX tag.
Wish me luck, now to try to add all the custom RETS library
into it and see if I can wrap this project up.
Thanks for all the previous help this list has given me - I hope that
someone finds the above helpful in the future.
