[opencms-dev] Trying to include a file and have template applied

Mon Nov 10 20:00:02 CET 2003

Let me restate the problem - with much more definition.

I'm writing a jsp page and trying to include a file (.html - or whatever) that has a template defined for it (thus allow the user to create a body - but I define the formatting, etc.).  I call "cms.include("myPage.html");".  The results that I get are the BODY of the included file but not the Template stuff (my formatting stuff - tables, etc.)

I've created a very simple example (below) that shows exactly what I mean.

Let's say that I have the following template: (myTemplate.jsp)

<%@ page session="false" 
    import="com.opencms.flex.jsp.*"
    import="com.opencms.flex.util.CmsMessages" 
    import="com.opencms.file.*" 
    import="java.lang.*" 
    import="java.util.*" 
%>
<%

// initialise Cms Action Element
CmsJspActionElement cms = new CmsJspActionElement(pageContext, request, response);

out.println("<h2>This is from the template!!!</h2>");

cms.include(null, "body");

Also - let's say that you have a page (myPage.html) that uses myTemplate.jsp - with the following body content:

<h3>This is the body content</h3>

Good - now - let's say that we have the following JSP file - (myJSP.jsp):

<%@ page session="false" 
    import="com.opencms.flex.jsp.*"
    import="com.opencms.flex.util.CmsMessages" 
    import="com.opencms.file.*" 
    import="java.lang.*" 
    import="java.util.*" 
%>
<%
// initialise Cms Action Element
CmsJspActionElement cms = new CmsJspActionElement(pageContext, request, response);
%>

<html>
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
</head>
<body leftMargin="0" topMargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">
<h1>This is myJSP.jsp</h1>

<%
out.println("<h1>including myPage.html.</h1>");
cms.include("myPage.html");
%>

</body>
</html>

Ok - that's all of the files in this example.  When I open myJSP.jsp, the results are:

<html>
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
</head>
<body leftMargin="0" topMargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">

<h1>This is myJSP.jsp</h1>

<h1>including myPage.html.</h1>

<h3>This is the body content</h3>

</body>
</html>

NOTE:  I DON'T get the Template output -->    <h2>This is from the template!!!</h2>
I don't understand why not - or how I CAN get it.

Any help in this would be appreciated.

I'm not sure what kind of include you're using (and what it is that you need the template to do), but I had a problem where an include of a header 'page' would mess up the remaining includes on the page. In order for that to work I would either have to use a Java URLConnection to actually fetch the result or apply this workaround provided by Brett Beaumont:

Can anyone shed some light on this?
