AW: [opencms-dev] calling servlet from jsp

[Frank Wunderlich]

Hi Philipp,

I think, it's just like in any other webapplication:

1. The servlet classes have to be visible in the classpath of the
opencms webapp.
That means they have to be placed somewhere down the
opencms/WEB-INF/classes directory (or WEB-INF/lib for jars).
As far as I know, but I'm not quite sure about that, they are
automatically published to this place, when you store your classes
inside a opencms module (e.g. system/module/mymodule/classes).

2. The next step is to register the servlet class in web.xml 

    <servlet>
      <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
 
<servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
	...
    </servlet>  
        
    <!-- Standard Action Servlet Mapping -->
    <servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>/struts/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping> 

3. Just place a link to your servlet url somewhere in your
opencms-templates / pages / whatever...

As you can see, you can even integrate a MVC-framework like Apache
Struts easily into Opencms. The views/jsps used by Struts can even be
edited inside Opencms.

Greetings,
Frank.
