Hi List,
I have made a Framework that encapsulates a number of tools that are
useful in my applications.
JavaScript Things like a popUp Calendar Date selector, prototype and
scriptaculous, overlib, RichText HTML Editor, etc.
Some of those tools have their own css and images referenced inside
the css file and of course javaScript files.
In order to use those tools I use the following approach:
For CSS files I declare a String var like this:
private final String calendarSkinCSS = application
().frameworksBaseURL()
+ "/"
+ frameworkName()
+ ".framework/WebServerResources/TORA_Tools_Resources/JavaScript/
jscalendar/skins/aqua/theme.css";
In my HTML file I declare the component this way
<webobject name = "CalendarSkinCSS" />
And in my WOD file this
CalendarSkinCSS: WOGenericElement {
elementName = "link";
rel = "stylesheet";
type = "text/css";
href = calendarSkinCSS;
}
That way I get this html code
<link href="/WebObjects/Frameworks/TORATools_1_11.framework/
WebServerResources/TORA_Tools_Resources/JavaScript/jscalendar/skins/
aqua/theme.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
For JavaScript files is something similar
String declaration example
private final String calendarJSURL = application().frameworksBaseURL()
+ "/"
+ frameworkName()
+ ".framework/WebServerResources/TORA_Tools_Resources/JavaScript/
jscalendar/calendar.js";
HTML file
<webobject name = "calendarJSURL" />
WOD file
calendarJSURL: WOJavaScript {
scriptSource = calendarJSURL;
}
I get this:
<script src="/WebObjects/Frameworks/TORATools_1_11.framework/
WebServerResources/TORA_Tools_Resources/JavaScript/jscalendar/
calendar.js" language="JavaScript">
As you can see this is a simple approach that resolves the use of css
and javascript files, but now I am testing the deployment of my apps
in Tomcat, so this approach does not work (well It would work if I
had apache running with my WebServer resources in it and my app
running in Tomcat on the same machine ).
Is there a better approach that you gays know that would facilitate
the use of the framework in a Servlet deployment environment?
I have made some tests and the framework is copied inside the
application.war file so if I change the way I generate the URL's to a
more "WebObjects way" I think there will not be problems in the
Servlet Deployment environment.
Does Project Wonder has Components and Utilities that could help me?
Any Help will be appreciate.
Miguel Torres.
