Hi to all,
this is a preliminary version of the new index page.

Web Start URLs must be absolute, so the html version of this page has
to be removed.

At the moment I've only added (in a standard way, like for Applets)
buttons for the "Kitchen Sink", with a little infos on each button
(using deploy.js isn't possible to add a tooltip to buttons ... very
good Sun).

In attach there is a sample screenshot of the page running from a
local Tomcat, inside the zip.

I've added a style to align all images in the page at the middle (of
the element enclosing them, like the current line of text), otherwise
the result in not so good.
To improve readability I've also added an HR tag between Demos.

Tell me if this is Ok, so in next days I'll finish the work (and
remove the index.html).


Bye,
Sandro

No, it is because incubator.apache.org/pivot doesn't support JSP files.

I think that would be a lot of effort just to support a few JNLP  
files. Simply providing a separate WAR-only file for launching the Web  
Start versions would be much easier...

Have a good weekend...

This is needed by the strange behavior of our site, linking jars that
doesn't work, or other reasons ?

Otherwise we could have 2 separate folders for any www root, maybe
providing a sort of copy needed files when creating the war, but i
think this could generate confusion ...

Or keeping the site version separated from the war version ...

Ok, so now I try to think at some solution and for the moment i stop
this work, and continue creating jnlp files for other demos (1 jnlp
file per demo, signed or not, the same used in its applet).

If someone has some idea, this is the right place ... otherwise let's
update Monday ... bye to all.

I still think it may make sense to provide two separate launch pages.  
We can't launch any JNLP files from the project home page without  
manually modifying them before we deploy, so we may just want to keep  
the Web Start versions as a WAR-only feature.

Hi Greg,
I've just found an all-Javascript way:
using document.URL , or document.location.href .

If this works good i could drop the jsp version, keeping only the html
version, more simple to show for every case.

I'll tell you something as soon as possible ...

Byeeee

You don't need to delete index.jsp (see my previous email). I am  
thinking we should just define two top-level pages: one for the web  
site that is static HTML, and another for launching JNLP files when  
demos.war is deployed to an actual servlet container.

Ok ... maybe there is some Javascript trick to get the current URL,
and then pass it to the standard (Sun) Javascript function that
generates the button.

So should I delete the index.jsp file, or can we wait a little ?

Ah, I see that you have not removed it - good. But we should still  
talk about how best to manage the JNLP links.

Unfortunately, we need the HTML version, since our ASF site doesn't  
support JSP. This is one of the reasons I had asked you to keep your  
changes to a minimum. Please restore the HTML version and let's talk  
about other alternatives.

Thanks,
