Jetspeed 2.0: Problems with own public pages
Dear all,
I have got some trouble with my Jetspeed 2.0 installation. Beside the
public demo pages in "($J2_HOME)/webapps/jetspeed/WEB-INF/pages/Public"
another folder "pages/test" has been created. Within this folder the
PSML descriptors for my own public pages have been created. To show the
content of a test page the contentviewer portlet of the demo context has
been copied to an own testcontext. This copy is used to display plain
HTML files.
Problem: Everytime another page is linked using the mechanism of the
demo package the contentviewer looks for the HTML pages in the wrong
context. Instead of a lookup in the also created context "test" it looks
for the pages in the "demo" context.
Question: How can I correct this behaviour?
Best regards
Marcus
Part of one of my own PSML files:
----------- snip -----------
<page id="test.welcome">
<defaults layout-decorator="mydecorator"
portlet-decorator="gray-gradient"
skin="orange"
/>
<title>Welcome</title>
<metadata name="title" xml:lang="de">Willkommen</metadata>
<fragment id="test.welcome.1" type="layout"
name="jetspeed-layouts::VelocityOneColumn">
<fragment id="test.welcome.2" type="portlet" name="test::ContentViewer">
<preference name="file">
<value>/WEB-INF/content/mymenu.html</value>
</preference>
</fragment>
</fragment>
</page>

I see the problem, and yes, html files are mapping directly to
/Public/content.psml. And on this page, it has a portlet from the demo
application. The behavior is built into the profiler (see
PathSessionResolver.java). If you need to map to another PSML page, you
will need to enhance the profiler. I would like to see a configurable
mapping from regex expressions or paths to psml files. Another scenario
we've considered is placing html files directly in the PSML directory
tree. Im open to input on this, as I have a need for this feature as
well. In one of my projects here, I override the PathSessionResolver and
have custom mappings hard-coded into the java. These custom mappings
dont change often, so it works for me. However I think we can solve this
with a better, more generic solution for the community

ContentViewer page location procedure
Posted by Marcus Breier <ma...@googlemail.com>.
Dear all,
the ContentViewer portlet shipping with Jetspeed 2.0 locates linked
(sub-)pages by following URL:
"http://localhost:8080/jetspeed/portals/_content/Constitution.html"
It seems to me, that this page location only works, when the HTML files
are stored to the folder "demo/WEB-INF/_content".
Is there anybody out there, who can explain the procedure to find the
file stated above to me?
Thanks for help ... Best regards
Marcus

Well, I have copied the whole HTML content of the
"webapps/demo/WEB-INF/_content" folder, that comes with the Jetspeed 2
installer. It has been put into a WAR file in a similar path
"WEB-INF/content". After deploying that WAR file with J2 the HTML
fragments are accessible under "webapps/test/WEB-INF/content".
To display the HTML content I am using the demo portlet "ContentViewer",
which has been copied to my WAR file too. The copied portlet has been
registered as "TestCV" (please find the part of my portlet.xml below).
For the first test a copy of the menu page, originally located to the J2
"Public Content" area, is displayed. Copies of the original subparts
"Constitution" and "Bill of Rights" are linked like in the original
context. After a click on one of both links, the layout of the original
"Public Content" area is shown in my browser with the message, that
"File /WEB-INF//content/Constitution.html not found.".
The strange thing for me is, that if I copy my HTML testpages to
"webapps/demo/WEB-INF/_content" and put additional links into the
original menu, the pages can be linked. In my own context stored to
"webapps/test/WEB-INF/content" J2 cannot locate them. This behaviour
lead me to the assumption, that J2 is looking for my pages in the wrong
location.
Hope I got you right and my problem a bit more clear. ;-) ... Thanks for
help.
Best regards
Marcus

Not really sure if I understand the problem...
Why do you say that its looking in the demo context?
Did you register a portlet application with the name "test"?
