Thanks Tim, for your help. Really appreciated. I have resolved this issue. It
was that the name the contact.jsp was using to find the template was wrong.
didnt know it had to be relative to the root directory of the application. I
assumed it will c since they were both sitting in the same directory.
i changed it to /pb/contact_tmpl.jsp and worked.
The good side is that, i now dont use stripes as a magic software that just
works. I have gained understanding in its inner workings which is a very
valuable knowledge for me.
cheers

Subject: Re: [Stripes-users] Forwarding to a jsp that uses stripes taglib
from a filter(Its a bug)
Sorry, it was overnight here in Uk, so I was asleep when u replied. sorry for
the delay. Right i will show all four pages involved in this process
1. the rewrite rule is this
<rule>
<from>^/$</from>
<to>/pb/home.jsp</to>
</rule>
<rule match-type="wildcard">
<from>/*</from>
<to>/pb/$1.jsp</to>
</rule>
<rule match-type="wildcard">
<from>/do/lk/*</from>
<to>/action/$1.action</to>
</rule>
the second rule is what am intrested in most
2. web.xml
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>StripesFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>StripesFilter</filter-name>
<servlet-name>StripesDispatcher</servlet-name>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
thought only the filter mappings are important

this may be overkill, but i'm desperate as this is the last hurdle on this
project. all other stripes pages that do not pass through the rules are happy

Subject: Re: [Stripes-users] Forwarding to a jsp that uses stripes taglib

The code that you have found comes from the LayoutDefinitionTag. This tag
should only ever occur on the page that defines the common layout (not on pages
using that layout). Because of this, certain assumptions are made:
1) Layout JSPs (those using s:layout-definition) are only ever executed by
Stripes, and in fact by the layout-render tag. You should not be forwarding to
those yourself
2) The only way the s:layout-render tag ever executes the layout is via an
INCLUDE
3) Therefore, when used properly, the call to find the include_path should work
just fine
I'm not sure exactly what you're doing differently that is causing this
problem. Can you perhaps show us the JSP that is invoking the layout?

spec shows that, using getAttribute('javax.servlet.include.servlet_path')-which

net.sourceforge.stripes.tag.layout.LayoutDefinitionTag.doStart() -will work
only if the include was used. since you should be
able to forward to the jsp page before that page invokes the layout-definition
using include, the above method will have a wrong value since the parameter
will not be there. at this point, it will be under
getAttribute("javax.servlet.forward.servlet_path"); I therefore think stripes
should consider this as well since the relegation of the control to the jsp can
come from anywhere.
I dont know how to fix this though

a short section of my web.xml. the urlRewriter creates the name of the jsp
file requested and forwards to it. Stripes intercepts the forward to do
instantiation before jsp is written

Do you have the URLRewrite filter mapped only to the REQUEST dispatcher, or
does it also kick in on INCLUDEs? It sounds to me like the Stripes code is
expected to only ever be called through an include, and in this case is not
because something is intercepting in the middle and doing something else. Is
that the case? And if so, is there any need to have the URLRewrite work on
anything except requests coming in from outside the container?

Subject: [Stripes-users] Forwarding to a jsp that uses stripes taglib from a

I have an intercepting filter that rewrites a url and forwards to the url
(URLrewriter http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/ )
wrk lik
/contact will be retwritten as /contacts.jsp and forwarded to the jsp. However
the jsp throws a very nice NPE. dont know. a little dig into the stripes
code reveals the execption on this line
// Assuming that the layout definition page is always included, the
following line gets
// the name of the page the tag is sitting on, as per Servlet 2.4 spec,
page 65.
String name = (String) getPageContext().getRequest()
.getAttribute('javax.servlet.include.servlet_path');
what can i do, to get round it. I have attached the stack trace
