[jira] Updated: (BEEHIVE-199) Cannot reference Tiles Definition files outside the current page flow using relative paths.

["Jeremiah Johnson (JIRA)" <be...@incubator.apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-199?page=history ]

Jeremiah Johnson updated BEEHIVE-199:
-------------------------------------

        Summary: Cannot reference Tiles Definition files outside the current page flow using relative paths.  (was: Cannot reference Tiles Definition files outside the current page flow.)
    Description: 
Cannot reference Tiles Definition files outside the current page flow when using relative paths.

Example use-case 1 (nested page flow):
---------------------------------------
Reference a tiles definition file from within a nested page flow where the tiles definition file lives in the parent page flow directory (one directory above) like so:

@Jpf.Controller(
    tilesDefinitionsConfigs = { "../tiles-defs.xml" },
    simpleActions={
        @Jpf.SimpleAction(name="begin", tilesDefinition="default.page")
    }
)

Which does not work because the generated output would look like this:

<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin">
    <set-property property="definitions-config" value="\nested/../tilesdefs.xml"/>
    <set-property property="moduleAware" value="true"/> 
</plug-in>


  was:
Cannot reference Tiles Definition files outside the current page flow.  This goes for both nested page flows and inherited ones.

Example use-case 1 (nested page flow):
---------------------------------------
Reference a tiles definition file from within a nested page flow where the tiles definition file lives in the parent page flow directory (one directory above) like so:

@Jpf.Controller(
    tilesDefinitionsConfigs = { "../tiles-defs.xml" },
    simpleActions={
        @Jpf.SimpleAction(name="begin", tilesDefinition="default.page")
    }
)

Which does not work because the generated output would look like this:

<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin">
    <set-property property="definitions-config" value="\nested/../tilesdefs.xml"/>
    <set-property property="moduleAware" value="true"/> 
</plug-in>


Example use-case 2 (inherited page flow):
------------------------------------------

ParentPageFlow.jpf:
@Jpf.Controller(
    tilesDefinitionsConfigs = { "tiles-defs.xml" },
    simpleActions={
        @Jpf.SimpleAction(name="begin", tilesDefinition="default.page")
    }
)

ChildPageFlow.jpf (extends ParentPageFlow):
ChildFlow1Controller.jpf:
@Jpf.Controller(
    simpleActions={
        @Jpf.SimpleAction(name="begin", tilesDefinition="default.page")
    }
)

Generated struts-config output:
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin">
    <set-property property="definitions-config" value="\childFlow1/tiles-defs.xml"/>
    <set-property property="moduleAware" value="true"/>
</plug-in>

Reference to tiles-defs.xml is incorrect.  tiles-defs.xml lives in the ParentPageFlow directory.  ChildPageFlow should of inherited the correct path.

This currently limits how tiles can be set up within nested page flows or inherited page flows.  In other words, the current PF implementation doesn't support sharing of one common tiles definition file (tiles-defs.xml) among nested or inherited page flows.  It requires multiple tiles definitions and JSP tiles to live in different places within the same webapp.
