Tiles +GetTag +Tomcat 5.? problem
Hi all,
I'm facing a problem with Tiles GetTag on recent Tomcat versions
(couldn't find the exact version, but is the one packaged with Sun
Application Server EE 8).
I have (among others) a <tiles:get name="menu" /> tag.
That "menu" can be present or not as it is programmatically inserted.
If it's not present, the page should just omit it. That's what happens
on earlier Tomcat versions (like the one packaged in Sun Application
Server EE 7, again, don't know exactly which version).
If the the attribute is null:
((org.apache.struts.tiles.ComponentContext)request.getAttribute("org.apache.struts.taglib.tiles.CompContext")).getAttribute("menu")
== null
Tiles doesn't find the attribute (ok until here), but then, it tries
to process it as a URL and falls on the following error: "The
requested resource (/jsp/_template/menu) is not available". This error
is shown on the page, where nothing should appear.
This happens even if I set the attribute ignore="true" in the tag
(what is not necessary on earlier Tomcat versions).
If I put a blank "menu" file on _template dir, it works ok, but this
is not a solution as I have many other parts dynamically inserted.
The application works well with Struts 1.1, 1.2.9 and 1.3.5 on SAS7
but doesn't work with any of these versions on SAS8.
I know it it's not a bug in Struts, but in Tomcat. Does anyone know a
decent workaround for this bug?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Eduardo Simioni.

Yes, add the type=string to the tiles:put tags.

Chris, I'm just supporting the "developers" team on this error, don't
know much about the project.
I know that nothing is being defined in the tiles definition file.
Page components are being defined on the caller page, via <tiles:put
/>, and the menu attribute is being defined programmatically.
The main problem is that it used to work as it is on Sun Application
Server 7, and on SAS8 something has to be made to get it working
again.
That's why I thought it wasn't a bug on Tiles. But it's difficult to point.
The solution I found is ok from my point of view, easy to implement.
Again, thanks for helping!

In your tiles definition, where you define the menu attribute, make sure
that it is marked type=string. You should have something similar to:
<definition name="register2.pane" extends="default.pane">
<put name="pagetitle" value="members" type="string"/>
<put name="body" value="register2.layout" type="definition"/>
<putList name="breadcrumbs">
<add value="/|head.home" type="string"/>
<add value="/home|members" type="string"/>
<add value="member.registration" type="string"/>
</putList>
</definition>
either in your tiles-defs.xml or using the JSP version in one of your
pages. If now, how are you defining the menu tiles attribute?

I was reading some posts on dev list and realized that GetTag is
obsolete and going to be removed soon.
Well, the tag lib for tiles doesn't define attribute 'type' for get
nor insert tags. So I didn't understand Chris' suggestion.
If I change
<tiles:get name="menu" />
for
<tiles:insert attribute="menu" ignore="true" />
it works well.
Here there's no doubt about the kind of component I'm trying to insert.
Then, the processAttribute() method throws a JspException and the
error is ignored.
Get is failing to ignore the error cause it happens on the last line
of doStartTag() method, not on the line surrounded by the 'try'.
*******
try {
tagHandler = createTagHandler(); // With insert, error happens here
} catch (JspException e) {
if (isErrorIgnored) {
processEndTag = false;
return SKIP_BODY;
} else {
throw e;
}
}
return tagHandler.doStartTag(); // With get, error happens here
*******
Unfortunately I don't have time to prepare a simple example for test.
I have to support the programmers on the next problem.
World is getting full of pseudo Java programmers :/
Thanks for your help!

Make sure you define the menu attribute to by type=string, it seems to be
assuming that menu is type=page.

I don't think it's a Tomcat bug, but a Tiles one: the "ignore" attribute
should manage your case. Can you provide a small test case and, if it
fails, can you open a JIRA issue?
