[opencms-dev] NewsBean.properties file in NewsHack.zip

Tue Oct 21 08:19:01 CEST 2003

hi

Further to the problems i've been having with NewsHack.zip, I've noticed
that tomcat is logging the following:
Unable to connect to database jdbc:mysql://localhost/opencms
Unable to connect to database jdbc:mysql://localhost/opencms

I've modified NewsBean.properties with various combinations of user/password
that is in the cms_users table of opencms as well as logging on as root to
mysql.

If no user/password is required to access db do i omit the dbUser and
dbPassword fields from the NewsBean.properties file?

Is this a bug in the NewsHack jsps?
Has anyone actually got NewsHack to display articles at all?

Thank you in advance.

Cheers
Trevor

Subject: [opencms-dev] NewsHack.zip Help!!!!

Hi,

I have created a file called "my_news.jsp" which is a slightly modified
version of "default_news.jsp" as contained in NewsHack.zip (downloaded from
http://opencms.al-arenal.de/). I am using OpenCms 5.0 with the news 2.0
module on Tomcat4.1.12.

my_news.jsp:
<%@ page session="false" import="java.util.*" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="cms" uri="http://www.opencms.org/taglib/cms" %>
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Translational//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="CONTENT-TYPE" CONTENT="text/html; CHARSET=<cms:property
name="content-encoding" default="ISO-8859-1" />">
</head>
<body>
<!-- Begin Page Content -->
<div id="content">
<cms:include element="body" />
<!-- Test News -->
<h1>News</h1>
<cms:include
file="/system/modules/com.opencms.modules.homepage.news/pages/news.jsp" />
</div>
</body>
</html>

I have followed the instructions in the readme.rtf contained in
NewsHack.zip.

1. how do you use NewsHack's "news.jsp" to view the news articles?
2. What is it that needs to be changed in NewsHack.zip's news.jsp,
news-nav.jsp and NewsItem.jsp? I've modified news.jsp's last line to be:
out.print("<p><a
href=\"/system/modules/com.opencms.modules.homepage.news/pages/NewsItem.jsp?
id="+newsItem.getID()+"\">"+newsItem.getHeadline()+"</a></p>");
Is there anything else that needs to be modified in these 3 files?

I get the following error when I try to run my_news.jsp:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Resource loader error in file
'/myProject/my_news.jsp'

If anyone that has managed to get the NewsHack.zip stuff going please help.
Thank you.
