Eric, Is there paticular reason you want to use slashes "/" instead of commas ","? >From previous posts I have read, it appears that this method is not the perfered way of doing things.
IMOHO the slash creates more problems than it's worth. See my previous post about 404 Bad Requests in Tomcat beacuse the form action contained an encoded "/" (%2F) ref: http://www.mail-archive.com/turbine-user%40jakarta.apache.org/msg05592.html Scott -----Original Message----- From: Pugh, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 07, 2002 1:15 PM To: 'Turbine Users List' Subject: RE: Does every .vm screen need a .java screen? Terrific response! I like the idea of the securescreens and weakscreens diretories.. For now, my application really only has one weakscreen, the login page, but as we extend our intranet application, we may have more weakscreen type pages.. It seems like the docs could use an update about the trailingslash.. If I can figure out CVS properly as far as the turbine site goes I'll post a patch. If I change the TemplateLinkWithSlash for the $link tool, in my actions, if I do a setTemplate(data,"variants,SplitVariant.vm") that would have to remain the same, correct?

You should not directly use VelocitySecureScreen (that's why it is abstract). You need to extended it like: com.mycompany.modules.newapp.screens.app.Default extends VelocitySecureScreen. And for your login screen, create a specific screen class com.mycompany.modules.newapp.screens.app.LoginScreenName extends VelocityScreen. Another approach that I like is creating multiple Default screen classes. One for secure and one for non-secure and place them to different packages that match your directory structure: newapp | |--templates | |--screens | |--app | |--securescreens | |--weakscreens then create these 2 Default classes: com.mycompany.modules.newapp.screens.app.securescreens.Default extends VelocitySecureScreen com.mycompany.modules.newapp.screens.app.weaksceens.Default extends VelocityScreen Then create your templates in either the securescreens or weakscreens directory depending on the security requirements. Now all screens without specific screen classes will use the respective Default screen class for processing. I have gone as far as to build a service (invoked from isAuthorized() )that looks at the name of screen (like: foo,bar) and then checks the ACL of the current user against the required security for that screen (stored within an XML file), that way I can have secure templates of different "strengths" use the same screen class. If you want to use slashes "/" instead of commas "," in the $link tool, you will need to change tool.request.link=org.apache.turbine.util.template.TemplateLink to tool.request.link=org.apache.turbine.util.template.TemplateLinkWithSlash in your TR.props file.

I went back and played around with the newapp application. It turns out that because VelocitySecureScreen is abstract, I can't make it my default choice. Because all my pages EXCEPT the login are Secure pages, I needed to set my default choice as SecureSecreen (based right off of the SecureScreen in newapp). The other issue that caused problems and confused me was that I was trying to set a link as $link.setPage('variants/SplitVariant.vm"); However, it appears it needs to be $link.setPage('variants,SplitVariant.vm"); I think there is a bug in the documentation at http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/turbine-2/howto/velocity-site-howto.html: <snip> In index.vm, if you want to link to UserAdmin.vm, you would add something like this to the HTML: <a href="$link.setPage("admin,UserAdmin.vm")">User Admin Screen</a> As you can see above, I used a "," instead of a "/". You can use either one here. The above will create a fully formed URI with the session information encoded into the link if the clients brower has cookies turned off. </snip> Using "/" definitly causes problems!

It throws an exception when it can't find a template, not a screen class. There is a default screen class that can be specified so that if a screen class doesn't exist than the default screen class will. The sample app in the 2.1 TDK is a full example of how this works. > It seems that many people (per the other posts) are not using .java screens, > but just .vm and pull tools.
