[opencms-dev] contact us form not working in online project

[astaffo2 at csc.com.au]

Further to my last email regarding my cache issue:

We're running ocms 5RC2

We are currently extending the CmsXmlTemplate (eg. CmsXmlTemplateX) and 
use it for the frame template and the content template.

The element used for the form extends the CmsXmlTemplateX class.

In the CmsXmlTemplateX I include the following overide to the 
getCacheDirectives:

    public CmsCacheDirectives getCacheDirectives(CmsObject cms,
        String templateFile, String elementName, Hashtable parameters,
        String templateSelector) {
        System.out.println("in getCacheDirectives: " + templateFile);
                return new CmsCacheDirectives(false);
    }

I'm using the System.out to prove the method is being overidden and to 
tell me which template is calling it.

Assuming the element.cache variable is set to true in the 
opencms.properties file (due to the error in my last email); when I hit my 
contact us form from the offline project I get three returns from the 
System.out:

in getCacheDirectives: 
/system/modules/org.opencms.default/frametemplates/myFrame
in getCacheDirectives: 
/system/modules/org.opencms.default/contenttemplates/myContent
in getCacheDirectives: /content/elements/contactUs

Which I would expect given the inheritence.  And from this the form works 
well and sends the emails.

When I access this form from the online version, I get no entries from the 
System out (this is even the case when the element.cache is set to false).

Are there any differences with version 5 RC 2?  I've tried returning the 
CMSCacheDirectives with specific boolean values and I've tried the 
setNoCacheParameters to the parameter "action" which is set when the form 
is submitted.  None of this has made a difference.

Any help is appreciated.

BTW if you missed my last email, the error message produced when I request 
the contact us form from the offline version when elelment,cache is set to 
false is:

com.opencms.core.CmsException: 0 Unknown exception. Detailed error: A

Hi Aaron,
 
  do you have implemented the method "getCacheDirectives"  in your class?

Hi  all 

We've implemented a Contact Us  form using the built-in form handling 
facility of ocms. 

This form utilises the code example set found in the  user's guide and 
works perfectly in the offline project. 

The problem lies in the online project when we publish  this form.  When 
we access the form, it displays fine, but when submitted  it flicks back 
to the form as a basic html form would behave. 

What I'm assuming is that the class isn't  being invoked at this point. 

Other  custom classes we've created are being called happily in the online 
project -  all the classes including the contact us class are in a jar 
file in the  WEB-INF/lib directory. 

Has anyone  experienced this or have any suggestions? 

Regards,
Aaron
