[opencms-dev] Problems compiling the News Module

[Gabriele Vanni]

Thanks very much. All compiles successfully.
 
Possibly to help other newbies in compiling this module, here's the batch
file I used to compile files individually.
There is probably a better way, but this one worked well enough for me.
Naturally, you will need to change the paths to suit your configuration.
 
To get the directory structure right, unzip the modules zip file which
creates a directory tree.
Download the source from the CVS (details at the bottom of this email) and
place in same directory as the matching .class files
(for MS windows users) place the following batch file into
...\system\classes and call it using> yourbatchfile.bat
com\opencms\modules\homepage\news\NewsTemplate.java
 
The batch file as I have used it.
javac -classpath
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12\webapps\opencms\WEB-INF\oclib\opencms.jar;C:\jakart
a-tomcat-4.1.12\webapps\opencms\WEB-INF\oclib\xerces-1_4_4.jar;C:\jakarta-to
mcat-4.1.12\common\lib\servlet.jar;"C:\Documents and Settings\LONGV\My
Documents\PA Specific\PA Website\modules\newsextract\system\classes" %1
 
Cheers

Search it within the tomcat common/libs directory ... 
Servlet.jar I think.

Hi, 

Thanks for that. It worked a tread.... I should have realised that one. 

Now it's only complaining about not being able to find 
"javax.servlet.http.*", I should be able to find it somewhere. 

Thanks again

Hi, 

you also have to add the directory where your news module's source files 
are located in to the classpath, i.e. the one containig the com 
directory. 

Bye, 
Stephan
