RE: Progress pages between screens

Hi,

I followed this email thread, but if I use RawScreen to get dynamic
messages for my progress page, my layout disappears. What I really need
is a way to output the messages to the screen and still being able to
display the left and bottom panel. Is there any way to do that?

Thanks,
Ritu..

Hi Ritu,

Yes you can do this without involving Velocity.  See the thread
http://www.mail-archive.com/turbine-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg14416.htm
l
for some pointers.  Basically, you create a screen class that doesn't
extend
VelocityScreen and put your code in there.  When you click a link to
your
.vm file, this class will get processed, and rewrite the response so the
.vm
doesn't get displayed.  That thread has pretty much all the information
you
will need.

Good luck,

David

Hello,

 

In the application we are designing, we need a way to write output to a
screen directly. We have what we call a progress page after every screen
where we expect a user to wait and see dynamic output messages showing a
system being configured. After all the messages are displayed, we
redirect the user to another screen.

 

We have done something similar outside of Turbine before. We did not
need to use a velocity template, and we created a dynamic page by
associating a PrintWriter to the HTTP response.

 

My question is:

Could I do the same thing in Turbine without using a velocity template
as a screen file?

 

Thanks,

Ritu..
