Thanks. I added a rule in the d2wmodel file for pageWrapperName. However, I managed to discover several other problems.
My page wrapper was for a non-d2w page and site, and I want the d2w stuff to be a subcomponent of this. It is very simple, I have a header, sidebar navigation, and an AjaxUpdateContainer which changes based on what link the user clicks on the navigation sidebar. One of these links is the Admin link, which will (I hope) cause the D2W stuff to be loaded into the AjaxUpdateContainer, without disturbing anything else. I therefore made my Admin component into the "pageWrapperName" for the purposes of the D2W rule, and created it based on the pageWrapper from ERModernMoviesDemo. 1. I changed it to remove the header because this is a subcomponent. However, this removed the stylesheets tag. I also eliminated the bodyTag webobject, again, as this is a subcomponent. Neither of these seem to affect this problem though. This works, sort of, but the WOLToolbar appears as a ul above the ul of the entities. (I had an error here until I added the WOLips framework and password) I assume this is related to the navigation panel not being styled properly. The real problem is that when I click an entity, now I get an NPE error: ERMD2WStyleSheetInjector.java 39 resourceFrameworkName er.modern.directtoweb.components Which apparently means it's not getting the skin framework (and also isn't supplying the default of "app") I added the property to the skin framework's properties file (then added it to the app's properties too to see if that changed anything. It didn't. I assume this is related to the missing stylesheets from the head. 2. I then added the head and body back (along with the bodyClass method lifted from the ERModernMoviesDemo's pageWrapper). I changed it from an Ajax link to a regular WOHyperlink and set target = "new" but now I get an NPE like this (before I get to the uls from the WOLToolbar or the entitities) : ERD2WHead.java 32 displayNameForPageConfiguration er.directtoweb.components (Note this also happens inside the AjaxUpdateContainer if I keep it as an AjaxUpdateLink with the appropriate containerid) So, while I am doing better than I was, I guess I am just fundamentally missing what I am supposed to be doing in relation to dropping an ERModernLook component with navigation into an AjaxUpdateContainer of an existing site. Is there some configuration I am supposed to be doing to set the resources other than in the properties file of the look framework (and adding that framework to the app)? Thanks. This technology looks very cool, and I would like to think it's fairly easy to do this, rather than re-creating entirely new D2W projects, even for a D2W novice.
