Getting a servlet to work within static pages
My system:
Debian Lenny (5.x) on a low end machine in my basement (so I can do
whatever I want/need to it)
TC 6.0.24, installed in /home/davek/apache-tomcat-6.0.24
java version "1.5.0_17"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_17-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_17-b04, mixed mode, sharing)
Web content and apps are installed in
/home/content/webapps/ROOT
and
/home/content/webapps/ginp
ROOT contains all the static content for my personal website, with
various html files and sub-folders, and a couple of .jsp files from this
issue I'm asking about.
ginp is the open-source photo album project I'm using to manage and
display post some of my pictures.
I'm trying to figure out how to use some of the functions from ginp
(specifically one of several defined as tagsets) in my static pages to
display a list of available photo albums. And I want to do this
transparently, so the list appears to be just part of a static page,
without me having to have /ginp/ show on the url because it was
redirected or forwarded to the servlet.
I've tried renaming the .html page to .jsp and putting the code to call
the tag in the desired spot (code below), but I'm getting the exception
below. I think the biggest issue is my unfamiliarity with using
tablibs, but am wondering if there is also some tomcat setup issues I'm
missing here.
Any help appreciated!!
Dave
The complete .jsp is:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Photography</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY background=sand.gif>
<H2 align=center>Photography</H2>
<P>
Some of my favorite pictures for you to peruse and comment on:

Getting this to work for now turned out to be fairly easy, though a bit
of a kludge. I tweaked one of the tag classes slightly, copied the
entire web-inf/classes hierarchy from the exploded .war file in the ginp
context, into the same spot in ROOT, copied a few configuration files
over, and it all started working almost the way I want. It's not
perfect yet, but it's getting there.
Thanks for the comments, Pid and Chris; they gave me a good starting point.

That may be what I'll end up doing for the short term, but ultimately I
want to get ginp matured into a properly embeddable library. I'm still
playing with it, and it's a strictly spare-time project, go it's hard to
predict where it will go and when it will get there.

Maybe you could just merge your stuff into the /ginp webapp? That might
be simpler.

Yep, that's basically what's going on: /ginp is the root of the ginp
context on my web site, and my ROOT context won't reach across the
context boundaries. Unfortunately, the ginp project is written to be
build into a standalone .war file rather than a library .jar and a set
of front-end classes, and I'm having to do a bit of futzing around to
get the bits I need to work in my ROOT context, but I'm getting there.
It would require a major refactoring to get the http pieces of ginp
separated out from the parts that could be in a library .jar file, and
I'm not ready to tackle that right now. So I'm looking at some kind of
deployment script to copy the .tld and other config files I need into
the correct spots in my ROOT context.

Tomcat isn't going to load taglibs from another context, so you'd better
deploy the taglib JAR in both contexts. Once you do that, use the
correct taglib URI to reference it. Presumably "/ginp" isn't correct.
It's probably something like "http://www.ginp.com/taglibs/v1" or
something like that.

Not silly at all. I was thinking they'd pick up what they need from the
ginp webapp, but I've never done this kind of cross-context calling
before. I'll try that.
