WG: [opencms-dev] element cache & multiple bodies -> NullPointerE xception

Thu Sep 13 11:28:40 CEST 2001

Hello Michael,

I did not receive any response on my email, which I did send last week.
Possibly email in the HTML format cannot be received. Therefore I send the
original message in plain text format to the list again.

xception

Dear Michael,

sorry for bothering you again but it seems that I really need your help to
solve this problem:

Upfront one question: Was the element cache of your system switched on, when
you reconstructed my problem? If 'yes' - then the problem might probably be
larger. Therefore I will exactly descripe the steps which I took: 

- System1: NT4/IIS/Tomcat 3.3-b1/OpenCms 4.4.0 
- System2: Linux/Apache/Tomcat 3.3-b1/OpenCms 4.4.0 
- Elementcache is 'on' (by default in opencms.properties) 
- I created the XML Template named "test" in /content/templates/ 
  in the workspace.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
XML TEMPLATE:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<XMLTEMPLATE>
<TEMPLATE>
    <![CDATA[
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
    <html>
    <head>
        <title>]]><method name="getTitle"/><![CDATA[</title>
    </head>
    <BODY>
         ]]>
         <ELEMENT name="body"/>
         <![CDATA[<P>]]>
         <ELEMENT name="body2"/>
         <![CDATA[
    </BODY>
    </html>
    ]]>
</TEMPLATE>
<ELEMENTDEF name="body2">
     <CLASS>com.opencms.template.CmsXmlTemplate</CLASS>
     <TEMPLATESELECTOR>body2</TEMPLATESELECTOR>
</ELEMENTDEF>
</XMLTEMPLATE>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

- In the root directory I created a page named "test", which uses the 
  test template. 
- Afterwards I edited the page with the WYSIWYG editor, entered this text
  "Defaultbody" in the default body, added a new body (body2) and entered
  this text "Text for Body2" and saved the whole.
- Then I looked into /content/bodys/test.html:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
BODY FILE:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<XMLTEMPLATE>
    <TEMPLATE><![CDATA[<P>Defaultbody</P>]]></TEMPLATE>
    <template name="body2"><![CDATA[Text for Body2]]></template>
</XMLTEMPLATE>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

- Then I looked into the page control file of /test.html:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
PAGE CONTROL FILE:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<PAGE>
    <class>com.opencms.template.CmsXmlTemplate</class>
    <masterTemplate>/content/templates/test</masterTemplate>
    <ELEMENTDEF name="body">
        <CLASS>com.opencms.template.CmsXmlTemplate</CLASS>
        <TEMPLATE>/content/bodys/test.html</TEMPLATE>
    </ELEMENTDEF>
</PAGE>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

- Then i clicked on test.html in the root directory with the following
  result: (see attachment browseroutput.jpg)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SINGLE DUMP IN OPENCMS.LOG

opencms.log lines 3076-3149/3149 (END)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

If I disable the element cache in opencms.properties and restart Tomcat, the
page is correctly displayed(!). The behaviour of OpenCms in this case is
identical on both systems. Therefore I cannot explain myself why the example
on your system operated correctly.

Did I perhaps do wrong somewhere? I studied the OpenCms manual quite exactly
here, but perhaps I did not correctly understood the systematics yet, which
is behind the application of several bodies in one Template. 

Many thanks in Advance,
Oliver
