Orbeon XForms (nightly build) with struts tiles (1.3.8)

Gerrit Germis-2

Hi all,

 

I’m new to Orbeon and XForms, and have setup a test-environment as described in the documentation (separate deployment). Everything is working like it should, when I request a page with “/xforms-jsp” in the URL, the page is processed by the Orbeon engine and I get the expected form. However, at work, we use sturts (1.3.8) and tiles. I tried adding a “/xforms-jsp/some-app/index.jsp” to my tiles-defs.xml config which looks something like this:

 

  <definition name="main.page" path="/style/common/layouts/mainPage.jsp">

    <put name="title" value=""/>

    <put name="header" value="/style/common/layouts/header.jsp"/>

    <put name="menu" value="main.menu"/>

    <put name="body" value=""/>

    <put name="footer" value="/style/common/layouts/footer.jsp"/>

  </definition>

 

  <definition name="somePage.page" extends="main.page">

    <put name="title" value="somePage.title"/>

    <put name="body" value="/xforms-jsp/some-app/index.jsp"/>

  </definition>

 

And then in my struts-config.xml file I have:

 

  <action path="/somePage" type="my.package.action.SomeApp " name="someAppForm" scope="request">

    <forward name="success" path=”somePage.page"/>

  </action>

 

Then when I go to:  http://my-server/some-context/somePage.do, I get the correct header/footer/menu and body layout, but I get the raw XHTML output from the JSP in the body instead of the interpreted form of the orbeon engine. Do other people here also use orbeon and apache struts and tiles? If so, I would really appreciate hearing about how I can work around this issue.

 

Thanks in advance,

Gerrit

Could you point me to the location where I can find the documentation about setting up test-environment with Struts?

I may be asking the obvious, but did you setup the filter in the
web.xml of your Struts/Tiles application? Having the XHTML+XForms sent
to the browser without being processed looks like the symptom of the
filter now being setup.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Much appreciated.

Yes, the filter is configured in the web.xml. Everything is working as
expected when browsing to the app directly:

url: http://my-host/my-context/xforms-jsp/my-app (without tiles)

But when trying to use tiles (to get the generated form into a part of
the screen), I get the raw XHTML. This is probably because the request
URL doesn't contain the 'xforms-jsp' part anymore:

url: http://my-host/my-context/myAction.do (with tiles)

I was hoping that the jsp would still get processed because the tiles
config has the 'xforms-jsp' part in it:

<definition name="somePage.page" extends="main.page">
    <put name="title" value="somePage.title"/>
    <put name="body" value="/xforms-jsp/my-app/index.jsp"/>
</definition>

My struts action 'myAction' would use 'somePage.page' as a forward, but
as I said, I get the raw XHTML in the 'body' part of the screen then

OK, I see. One way to get around this is to change the
<url-pattern>/xforms-jsp/*</url-pattern> in the filter configuration.
You could even make that /*, so everything would get through the
filter. Of course, ideally you should avoid having the filter process
pages that are not using XForms, as this will use CPU cycles for
nothing, and of course the filter might also choke on page that are
not XHTML.
