Hi AppFuse people, I'm trying to follow the Ajax tutorial [at: http://appfuse.org/display/APF/Ajax] using a *modular* struts2 project and am trying to figure out which version of several files I need to make the recommended changes in. The tutorial step I'm having trouble with is:
1b) make sure the dojo files are imported first. To do this open your /src/main/webapp/decoraters/default.jsp file and add this line above! all other js imports: <s:head theme="ajax" debug="true"/> The problem is there's no decorators folder in my <project root>/web/src/main/webapp folder [this is a modular project]. There *are* several decorators folders [4, to be exact] in my project and they all have a default.jsp but they're all under target, I feel like I'm missing something here. Here are the decorators folders, and hence the default.jsp, which one do I use? <project root>\web\target\supplierportal-webapp-1.0-SNAPSHOT\decorators <project root>\web\target\work\webapp\decorators <project root>\web\target\war\work\appfuse-struts-2.0.2\decorators <project root>\web\target\war\work\appfuse-web-common-2.0.2\decorators I'm confused by the fact that these are all under target, shouldn't there be a version under <project root>\web\src as specified in the tutorial instructions? Does some jar need to be extracted or what is going on here? mraible wrote: > > What do you think about re-writing this tutorial in an AppFuse > environment and seeing if we make it simpler? > > Matt > > On 9/13/07, tibi <t...@dds.nl> wrote: >> i would like to add this to the tutorial page: >> >> please eval..... >> >> tibi >> >> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> >> this part is an extension on the following fine tutorial: >> http://cwiki.apache.org/S2WIKI/struts-2-spring-2-jpa-ajax.html >> take care the tutorial does not do anything apart from demonstrating the >> working of ajax. the java code is prototype only. >> >> this tutorial misses out on 3 things: >> 1a) integration it within appfuse setup, taking care of the dojo files >> 1b) integration it within appfuse setup, taking care of the importing >> order of the js files >> 2) getting it working with the decorator, or better without ;) >> >> 1a) the dojo files can't be run from the sturts.jar file. >> >> to solve this open the struts2-core-2.0.6.jar >> copy the dojo folder into >> src/main/webapp/struts/dojo >> >> open your web.xml and make sure the staticFIlter is including the right >> folder: >> <filter> >> <filter-name>staticFilter</filter-name> >> >> <filter-class>org.appfuse.webapp.filter.StaticFilter</filter-class> >> <init-param> >> <param-name>includes</param-name> >> <param-value>/struts/dojo/*</param-value> >> </init-param> >> </filter> >> >> 1b) make sure the dojo files are imported first. >> to do this open your /src/main/webapp/decoraters/default.jsp file and >> add this line above!
