Get templates from repository???

[rebornspirit]

I can use templates on my modules using html files on my disc, but is it possible to get html files from the repository to use as templates???

Now i just do:
Document doc = repository.loadTemplate("/template.html");

repository.addTemplate("main", (org.dom4j.Element) doc.selectSingleNode("/node/loop[@name='main']/node"));

main = repository.createTemplate("main");
DelegateContext ctx = new DelegateContext();
main.render(ctx, page.getBodyWriter());

So, is it possible to get the html template from the database repository?????

HELP :)

yes there is an HTMLLoader in the HTML module, you have to create a repository with that loader that will get the data in the HTML module

ok, thx, but still a question, so now I have the following code in my module:

HtmlLoader htmlLoader = new HtmlLoader(server);
TemplateLoader templateLoader = new TemplateLoader(htmlLoader);
Document doc = templateLoader.loadTemplate("/template.html");
templateLoader.addTemplate("main", (org.dom4j.Element) doc.selectSingleNode("/node/loop[@name='main']/node"));
main = templateLoader.createTemplate("main");

I have created a html file called /template.html using mu HTML module on the admin page, I can access it using the url, but he complains (exceptions) that he can't find the resource "/template.html" ???

Any idea what I'm doing wrong ...

Additional information on the previous post, what I'm actually getting on the server is a runtimeexception in MBean operation getResource -> cause = nullpointerexception

Is the nullpointer being throwed because he can't find teh resource or ...
When creating the HtmlLoader i place the variable server, into the constructor, the server variable that i'm getting from your parent class, is this the way it must be or ...

Thx

look here, that theme is doing that :

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/jboss/nukes/nukes/src/main/org/jboss/nukes/theme/ThemeTemplate.java?content-type=text%2Fplain&rev=1.2

owke, so what I'm doing was ok, but I'm still not getting how the name should be formatted
from the example you gave, i can understand that the template uses a name like html:blabla

bbut wthat is the blabla? This are perhaps stupid questions but I'm not getting it :)

[julien1]

in the loader you should use name like : /a/b/c
that should map to the names in the HTML module which have
the same structure.

with classloader loaders it's different, you need a base first.
if the base is empty, then the first char is removed from the string
because classloaders load resource with name like a/b/c
but it there is a base like a/b the name is left as is because a/b + /c = a/b/c

[rebornspirit]

that's exactly what i'm doing i have:
- in my code:
Document doc = repository.loadTemplate("/template");
- in my html module:
/template
-> tested it by just surfing to localhost:8080/template, it works

So I'm REALLY NOT getting what is going wrong, the code is exactly the same, I(m working with a compiled source from the start page from nukes, that the latest from cvs, perhaps that is a problem???

getting frustrated :(
;)

[julien1]

it may be a security issue, now when someone access a resource
it will be checked if it can or not.

try to put the followoing rule in the permissions :
.*:: with level READ

the problem is that the loader as not identity associed, so I don't know if it will work.

Otherwise you can try to recompile the HtmlLoader so it use getResourceNoCheck instead of getResource :

 public InputStream load(String name)
 {
 InputStream in = null;
 try
 {
 Resource res = (Resource)server.invoke(HtmlModule.OBJECT_NAME, "getResourceNoCheck", new Object[]{name}, new String[]{String.class.getName()});
 if (res != null)
 {
 ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
 res.writeTo(baos);
 in = new ByteArrayInputStream(baos.toByteArray());
 }
 }
 catch(Exception e)
 {
 log.error("Cannot load resource " + name + " from the html module", e);
 }
 return in;
 }

WWHHHOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
well I guess the above expression of joy indicates that it works. Adjusting the permision didn't work, hacking the HtmlLoader did work fine.

But is it safe to do this?

Just a last question, would you recommend its better to get the template just from a file on the disc or from the database, because all the examples worked with just hard drive files. So I was wondering if there was a reason for that?

Grtz, you made my day ;)

[julien1]

yes it is because you are doing the request within the server itself and it is not exposed to outside of the server.

the reason of template in the database is an easier customization for the webmaster which can modify template from the web html.
