JSP from multiple directories [message #231427] Sun, 17 May 2009 09:19 Go to next message

Hi,

I wish to have a web project which I will be able to configure so that
JSPs are picked up from two completly different directories. One will be
in the standard J2EE place, but the other one will be an entirely
different directory.

Is this possible?

Note: the reason for this is that I have a base project and then some
customisation development which I want to keep completly separate during
development time. It just makes things a lot cleaner.

Any tips / help greatly appreciated.

PS
Thanks for help on other posts.

It is supported, but there is no UI that allows to do that.

You have to change the hidden file org.eclipse.wst.common.component (use
Ctrl+Shift+R and type its name) in your project/.settings folder. Add as
many <wb-resource> entries with deploy-path="/" as you need. Example:

<wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/folder-with-JSPs-1"/>
<wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/folder-with-JSPs-2"/>
<wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/folder-with-JSPs-3"/>

Save and that's it.

I suggest to enlist the folder containing your web.xml as the first one.

Then, please add your vote to one or both of the following enhancement
requests:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=133359
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=107039

Hope this helps.

Mauro.

Thanks Mauro. That all worked. Well done. I'm wondering do you know of any
smart way I could write a script to this.

Ideally I like to kick off an ant target which do a lot of eclipse
configuration, including the above.

Any ideas?

I think your Ant task should edit that file by adding the necessary
<wb-resource> elements. However, I can't suggest you anything more
specific (I never tried to accomplish that).

Hi Mauro (or anyone else),
I am using this approach for multiple JSPs WebContent paths. It's good.

However, I get an error when a JSP in one WebContent path needs to reference a taglib in another.

There is no problem in deployment, but in the development time eclipse will show up a validation error.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Do you mean a different path in the same project, or in a different project altogether? Is it a .tld file you're pointing to or referring to a .jar somehow? And with which version of WTP?
