Putting Template inside .jar
hi all,
i need all your idea.
i have 2 project that using struts, the project name is cimande and papaje.
this is the scenario
cimande is the core, and papaje need cimande to run,
cimande need struts2, spring, and hibernate
both spring and hibernate both no problem, i have
applicationContext-cimande.xml for cimande and
applicationContext-papaje.xmlfor papaje,
we put applicationContext-* in /WEB-INF
I successfully put struts' code inside a jar, but the template still in
WEB-INF/view/*
anyone can share the skill
how to call the template inside a jar in struts development. so I can put
all the code in one jar, and can be use in another project, and we still
know, the template inside the jar.

Have a look at org.apache.struts2.views.freemarker.StrutsClassTemplateLoader
and com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.ClassLoaderUtil

Yes.
Struts 2 configures a FreeMarker TemplateLoader that:
- searches the filesytem templatePath if specified
(FileTemplateLoader); then
- searches the webapp (WebappTmplateLoader); then
- searches the classpath
It looks like the templatePath init param is used only by the
FileTemplateLoader though. (I've never needed to use that param)
The classpath loader uses
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(resourceName);
(and a few other variations if unsuccessful)

do this mean that struts2 automatically search template, when the template
is not in the /web-inf/view , the struts2 will search in the classpath. is
this right?
NB: i still dont know how to put in spring bean now ...

The Struts FreemarkerResult and Struts 2 tags explicitly access a
Freemarker template engine that's setup via the Struts container.
Your example below references the FreemarkerServlet provided by
Freemarker that's an distinct instance of the template engine.
You don't require the FreemarkerServlet to serve Freemarker pages via
Struts. You can use it to serve Freemarker pages directly (without struts).
You can use both at the same time, just note that they're separate.
There's no glue AFAIK.
(Although as you're using spring you may be get them to both use the
same bean, but I'm not sure about that).

hi jeromy,
i have several velocity template inside and i want to put in the jar also
i got this is the syntax to implement TemplatePath (below)
i dont get the relationship between freemarker and struts
because in my strutx.xml's package i just change the result to freemarker,
and .... done, the template engine is freemarker.
can give the glue
this is the freemarker template
<servlet>
<servlet-name>freemarker</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>*freemarker.ext.servlet.FreemarkerServlet*</servlet-class>
<!-- FreemarkerServlet settings: -->

Resolved/Fixed is good/stable. It's also dated 2004 so it's safe to
assume it doesn't apply any more.
I had a look in FreemarkerManager.java and confirmed the templatePath is
read from servletContext.getInitParameter("TemplatePath") or "templatePath"

Good choice. You're in luck! The Freemarker Configuration searches for
templates in your web application first and then in your classpath.
Just place them in the jar and reference them by their classpath.
eg
/views/mypage.ftl
(Don't put them in WEB-INF in a jar...that path has a special meaning
and it might not work).
Also see the Template Loading section of this page:
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/freemarker.html
Hope that helps

Is the template a JSP? If so, you're stuck. In the current container
spec, they must be included in the WAR, not in a JAR.
This is a critical flaw of JSPs and one of the many reasons some
developers prefer velocity or freemarker pages.
To partially overcome the problem, use your build process to copy the
JSP's from the source/jar to the location for packaging into war. That
way you'll at least have to manage only one copy.
