Ok that is a little over my head.
Might suggest using widgets
you put multiple jsp files in a widget screen.

Re: Calling a jsp page from inside tag
Posted by David E Jones <jo...@hotwaxmedia.com>.
That's a tough one.
If the content can only be exposed through a JSP then you have a
problem because JSPs can ONLY send output to an HttpResponse object,
unless you use a hack for the servlet container. In other words, you
can't get a String or even a character stream of some sort from a JSP,
so the Screen Widget can't do anything with it.
It's possible with the above mentioned hacks, but this limitation is
one of the big reasons why we don't use JSPs in OFBiz as a best
practice any more (they are still supported on their own for pages,
but not combined with screen widget, etc). Actually, you can include
OFBiz screens from a JSP, but you can't include a JSP in a screen
widget screen.

Ultimately I want to integrate another CMS to the OFBiz framework. The
content generated through the cms are generated through jsp files, so now I
am trying to mix those together with the ofbiz screens....

great thx :)
But that would mean there would be a clear cut between those pages, correct?
No mixing of Screens with those jsp sites...
any chance of including jsp-generated content within my freemarker templates
or screens?

Re: Calling a jsp page from inside tag
Posted by Vijay <st...@gmail.com>.
Dear Madppiper,
Yes the problem was solved and i could use JSP extensively in OFBiz.
An application was built around it.
However as other OFBiz members suggests, try to use FTL as it is a genric
templating language.
In our case we were left with no options but to use JSPs because of the kind
of container support for it.
Remember to mention the names of the JSP files as view files in your
controller file.
Hope that helps,
Cheers,
Vijay

Re: Calling a jsp page from inside tag
Posted by BJ Freeman <bj...@free-man.net>.
the handler for jsp is in the common_controller.xml
so you don't have to put that in.
do make sure to include it in your controller.xml
then look at an application controller for error.jsp
then in the webapp folder find where that is.
usually in the webapp/component/error.
that should give you an idea where you init.jsp should be.
