Reorganizing templates in WEB-INF

[brombie]

Hi all,

I'm pretty new to all of this and I'm still making way through all the configuration files. There's certainly a lot of them!

One issue I have is how too manage all the template/xhtmls files under WEB-INF. Instead of putting all of them under WEB-INF, I'd like to store them under different folders, e.g:
WEB-INF/registration
WEB-INF/shoppingcart
etc.

I'd also like each folder to contain both the seam page xmls (page.xml) and the templates (xhtml). Is this possible in Seam? If yes, which configuration file should I look at?

I tried just moving around my files, but the default configuration only allow files that are directly under WEB-INF. For example:

If I put registration.xhtml and registration.page.xml under WEB-INF, then I can just go to http://localhost/myapp/registration.seam to see it.

If I move them under WEB-INF/registration, then http://localhost/myapp/registration/registration.seam doesn't work.

Thanks for your help!

I am not sure what you mean.
If you have a web project generated with jboss tools all pages are in the Web-Content folder.
If you use a seam-gen project, all pages are in the view folder.
You can build up any hierachy in these folders. the *.page.xml belongs in the same folder where the coresponding *.xhtml is.
I have never seen, that pages are stored in the WEB-INF folder.

Sorry, you're right, please replace all WEB-INF references in my original post to WebContent.

I tried building up the hierarchy inside WebContent, but if the xhtml and page.xml is not directly under WebContent, Seam is not picking them up.

You will have to add the path to all references of the page also. So if you have an

<ui:include src="foo.xhtml"/>

it should become

<ui:include src="/thefolder/foo.xhtml"/>

Same goes everywhere the page is referenced - templates, navigation etc.

Thank you, that's what I've been missing!
