Hi John,
I had a quick look (might need to get back to the debugger) but it was in
DefaultPage. Maybe I was too quick to draw conclusion and I could do
something w/ the layout to nullify the setDefaultDoctype() ?
There are obviouslly multiple way to workaround this but maybe there is no
workaround and there is just a solution I did not see. :)
To do an export, I'm using an action such as:
/action/MyAction/exportemplate/MyExportTemplate
(there are several possible export)
In org.apache.turbine.modules.pages.DefaultPage
public void doBuild( RunData data )
throws Exception
{
doBuildBeforeAction(data);
if ( data.hasAction() )
{
ActionLoader.getInstance().exec ( data, data.getAction() );
}
setDefaultDoctype(data);
doBuildAfterAction(data);
ScreenLoader sl = ScreenLoader.getInstance();
Screen aScreen = sl.getInstance(data.getScreen());
String layout = aScreen.getLayout(data);
if ( layout != null )
{
LayoutLoader.getInstance().exec ( data, layout );
}
else
{
ScreenLoader.getInstance().exec ( data, data.getScreen() );
}
