Broken URL's

Hello,

I'm having a school project that must use shale, but it seems its
taglibs uri's are broken links, among others. Please someone fix them,
if possible. Also, is there a way to use local files instead of http://
links? 

Please use cc to send your answers to me since I'm not yet subscribed to
the shale Mailing List.

Thanks!
Cristi

RE: Broken URL's

You need to add something like this to your web.xml file:

<jsp-config>
   <taglib>
      <taglib-uri>http://shale.apache.org/clay</taglib-uri>
      <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/lib/shale-clay.jar</taglib-location>
   </taglib>		
</jsp-config>

If that doesn't work (i.e., if the JSP engine can't find the tld file within the JAR file for some reason),
pull the TLD file out of the JAR file, place it somewhere in your WEB-INF directory (perhaps in a
subdirectory named "tld", for example), and put this in your web.xml instead:

<jsp-config>
   <taglib>
      <taglib-uri>http://shale.apache.org/clay</taglib-uri>
      <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tld/shale-clay.tld</taglib-location>
   </taglib>		
</jsp-config>

Note that if you are using more than one tag library, each tag library that you use needs its own <taglib>
entry, and all <taglib> elements must be contained within a single <jsp-config> (the XML schema
validator will reject it if you have more than one <jsp-config>).

As was already pointed out, the URI's are only unique names, and have no meaning in terms of where JSP looks
for the definitions.

Please describe the problem you're having, and I'm sure someone can
help you sort it out.  As others have mentioned a URI is an
identifier, there's no requirement that a taglib uri be a valid url.

If you use the correct URI (one that matches exactly with the one in
the tld inside the jar file) then your container should discover the
taglibs  automatically.  Specifically, you do *not* need to extract
them from the jar or put anything in web.xml, unless you are using a
very old Servlet container.  Ignore the Struts references, and see if
this helps:  http://wiki.wsmoak.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WebXmlNoTaglib and
http://marc.info/?l=struts-user&m=104205482618830&w=2

Just this once. :)  You can watch the list on one of the many archive
sites, like Nabble:  http://www.nabble.com/Shale---User-f15689.html

Re: Broken URL's

Hello,

Thanks for your answers! Well, the code itself is valid, but some IDEs
(in my case netbeans) use them to enable smart code completion and other
features for those tags. The problem is that the URI it needs
(http://shale.apache.org/core) is a 404 and I get no help from
netbeans. Also, I've found a few other broken links on the website that
would be nice to be fixed:

Only http://wiki.apache.org/shale/ShaleValidation references two broken
ones. 
I'll try Richard's tip and report any results.

Many thanks,
Cristi

JSF 1.2 (MyFaces Core 1.2.x - implementation) & Struts Shale

I've been successfully using Struts Shale 1.0.3 with MyFaces 1.1.x & Tomhawk 1.1.x. Now I want to upgrade to
MyFaces Core 1.2.x which is a JSF 1.2 implementation. Can someone please tell me if JSF 1.2 makes some of
features in Struts Shale Core obsolete - for instance the ViewController mechanism? Will Struts Shale
work with MyFaces 1.2 seamlessly? 

My code is relying heavily on the shale framework (core) - all my managed beans extend the
AbstractViewController class and rely on the ViewController calls made by the framework to prerender,
init & co. I am also using some of the validation tags.

I didn't dig up the JSF 1.2 documentation but I think I read somewhere that JSF 1.2 offers something similar
to the ViewController mechanism.

Thanks

Re: JSF 1.2 (MyFaces Core 1.2.x - implementation) & Struts Shale

JSF 1.2 introduced  <at> PostConstruct and  <at> PreDestroy annotations (see 
http://weblogs.java.net/blog/jhook/archive/2007/05/jsf_12_ri_backi.html), 
which somewhat overlap with Shale's prerender/destroy hooks, but it's 
still not quite as powerful. Most notably:
*  <at> PostConstruct won't get call on every page it's used w/ a 
session-scoped FB, and
* you can't control  <at> PostConstruct execution everytime the FB is 
instanciated as Shale allows you to w/ <s:subview> does.
I'm using JSF 1.2 Mojarra implementation w/ Shale just fine, but I 
unfortunately can't speak to MyFaces compatibility.

That is good to know.

AbstractJsfTestCase question

New user of Shale Test framework. I'm trying to write some test cases for
JSF 1.1 implementation using AbstractJsfTestCase.

Experiencing few problems while trying to resolve some EL expressions
programmatically.
- MockVariableResolver not able to resolve array elements like
#{someBean.property[0]}
- How would I resolve an expression like #{someBean.name == "John Doe"}
- How could I invoke static EL functions like #{prefix:fnName}

Advance Thanks for your help.
