Hi David,
WRT storing system preferences: In http://rifers.org/wiki/display/
RIFE/Config+to+preferences+storage you discuss keeping preferences
inside the app's DB using standard Java preferences: Since I am
packaging my app in a WAR file, can this be used to override params
in the static XML files (I am thinking about system params link the
SQL TRACE parameter for debugging) ?
This is something that you typically do with host name configuration
selectors: http://rifers.org/wiki/display/RIFE/Configuration+selectors
Or, should this be used only more dynamic params, such as a flag
that indicate is the app is online, or if logins are allowed, etc...?
I use it for user installation configuration. For instance, Bamboo
uses it to store the settings of a particular forum instance that
override the default settings, setup in the distribution XML file.
On the blockvalue scripting front, I tried to use OGNL to test if
there was a global flag set in my params (in this case to see if
registration should be allowed) ... if it was set to "false" in my
app params.xml file it worked as I expected, not showing the
register/reset-password links, but when it was set to "true" I got
a template error telling me there was no such parameter on the page.
<!--B 'OGNL:CONFIG:bool:[[ getBool("ALLOW_REGISTRATION") ]]'-->
<h3><span class="blue">No account?</span> <a href="${v
EXIT:QUERY:register/}"> Register now!</h3></a>
<h3><span class="blue">Forgotten Password?</span> <a href="$
{v EXIT:QUERY:newpassword/}"> Reset It</h3></a>
<!--/B-->
The template doesn't contain a value with id 'OGNL:CONFIG:bool'.
Not sure what I am missing...
You need a <!--V 'OGNL:CONFIG:bool'--><!--/V--> value tag where the
content of the B tag can be assigned to when the block scripting
expression evaluates to 'true'.

Hope this helps,
