JSP Errors

This is a nasty error to debug- all I got was this:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP

Generated servlet error:
Type mismatch: cannot convert from null to int
at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.handleJspException(JspServletWrapper.java:512)
at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:377)
at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:314)
at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:264)
at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)
at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:252)


To debug it, try setting

<property name="jsp.precompile" value="false"/>

(UPDATE: Did I mean <property name="precompile.jsp" value="true"/>)

and then rebuild

I got an error message telling me exactly where the problem was

Running fimsship with derby on another machine

On remote machine (lets call it "shuttle")

Put the derby db in C:\apps\apache-tomcat-5.5.20\bin\fims_dev_ship

SET DERBY_HOME=C:\apps\db-derby-10.2.2.0-bin
SET DERBY_OPTS=-Dderby.system.home=C:\apps\apache-tomcat-5.5.20/bin

Modify C:\apps\db-derby-10.2.2.0-bin\startNetworkServer.bat to read

:runNoClasspath
"%_JAVACMD%" %DERBY_OPTS% -Dderby.drda.host=0.0.0.0 -classpath "%LOCALCLASSPATH%" org.apache.derby.drda.NetworkServerControl start
goto end

:runWithClasspath
"%_JAVACMD%" %DERBY_OPTS% -Dderby.drda.host=0.0.0.0 -classpath "%CLASSPATH%;%LOCALCLASSPATH%" org.apache.derby.drda.NetworkServerControl start
goto end


Note: Do NOT be termpted to add "-Dderby.drda.host=0.0.0.0" to DERBY_OPTS or otherwise you cannot stop the server with stopNetworkServer.bat (it will say can't connect to 0.0.0.0)

On the remote machine run startNetworkServer.bat (and stop it with stopNetworkServer.bat)

On the development machine use this to build a version of fimsship that works with remote derby

ant -f build-ship-dev.xml clean deploy

but make sure that the host is correct in properties-ship-dev.xml

Note: I have had some problems starting the server. "Cannot listen on port 1527 on interface 0.0.0.0. Note sure why, but the fix is to run stopNetworkServer a couple of times and try again.

fims proto calendar

language of calendar is defined by the lang library imported:
<script src="'inc_cmn/lang/calendar-fr.js'" type="'text/javascript'" language="'JavaScript1.2'"></script>
[16:36:50] ROCHE Laurent says: at the moment we have the FR for Les Douanes and the en-uk (my own version from a en-us) for the prototype.
In this file, the language but also order (month, day) is defined ... and good knows what ! ;)

Struts Tips

When selecting the ajax/dojo theme on a page you can specify debug=true to get dojo debug messages.
<s:head theme="ajax" debug=true/>

Struts tags -using the after parameter and custom freemarker templates

<fims:textfieldequipment fieldName="stockManagementQueryCriteria.equipmentNm" template="textequipmentwithpopup"/>

replaced

<fims:textfieldequipment fieldName="stockManagementQueryCriteria.equipmentNm">
<s:param name="after">
<img title="<fmt:message key='equipment.image.title'/>" alt="<fmt:message key='equipment.image.alt'/>"
src='<c:url value="/images/equip_plus.gif"/>' width='21' height='21'
style='vertical-align: top'
onClick='DSopenPopup("popupEditEquipmentSearch.html", "DS_equip", 900,800,30,30);'
/>
</s:param>
</fims:textfieldequipment>

which replaced


<s:textfield label="%{getText('equipmentNm.label')}" name="equipmentSearchQuery.equipmentNm">
<s:param name="after">
<img title="<fmt:message key='equipment.image.title'/>" alt="<fmt:message key='equipment.image.alt'/>"
src='<c:url value="/images/equip_plus.gif"/>' width='21' height='21'
style='vertical-align: top'
onClick='DSopenPopup("popupEditEquipmentSearch.html", "DS_equip", 900,800,30,30);'
/>
</s:param>
</s:textfield>



The custom ftl template used is:

<#include "/${parameters.templateDir}/${parameters.theme}/controlheader.ftl" />
<#include "/${parameters.templateDir}/simple/text.ftl" />
<img
src='<@s.url value="/images/equip_plus.gif"/>'
title='<@s.text name="equipment.image.title"/>'
alt='<@s.text name="equipment.image.alt"/>'
width='21' height='21'
style='vertical-align: top'
onClick='DSopenPopup("popupEditEquipmentSearch.html", "DS_equip", 900,800,30,30);'
/>
<#include "/${parameters.templateDir}/xhtml/controlfooter.ftl" />
