Re: newbie create new table

[Eric Emminger]

Hi Michael

Have you read the docs on the Turbine site? Go to the Turbine 2.2 site.

http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/turbine-2.2.0/index.html

You *really* need to read, or at least scan for now, all the pages under 
Essentials and Documentation on the left.

Also, read

http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/tdk/tdk-howto.html

Once you're familiar with the basics, you could create a few screens to 
display
1. a list of PROJECT items - ProjectList.vm
2. a list of TASK items - TaskList.vm
3. a single PROJECT - ProjectDetail.vm
4. a single TASK - TaskDetail.vm

Each of these Velocity templates (.vm files) go in 
<tdk>/webapps/[YourApp]/templates/app/screens/.

Then, create a Java class for each screen. They go in 
<tdk>/webapps/[YourApp]/WEB-INF/src/java/[package]/modules/screens/. Use 
the same name as the vm file, except for ".vm".

In each screen Java class, you'll put a List or object into the context. 
Then, in the vm file, you can display the data.

I really hope this helps. Let me know.

Sorry, I'll try again.  

Here is the database I want to create.  What do I need to do in order to build the front end.  Just some general topics would be fine to point me in the right direction.  

I created the table but I don't understand the syntax of the .vm files and I don't know the relationship between the schema changes and the java files that are generated and which need modification and which do not.

Thanks,
Mike
