Re: [Hypercontent-users] HyperContent2 workflow problems

[Alex V. <av...@co...>]

Hi Juris,
	Try deleting the directory "/workflow-data/" from your project 
repository, and restart the server.  There were some changes between 
beta1 and beta2 that made the serialization format incompatible.  I 
added serialVersionUID to all classes, so serialized data should be 
forwards compatible from now on!  I have a feeling this is the cause of 
the problem you're seeing.

[Hypercontent-users] HyperContent2 workflow problems

[Juris T. <sd...@la...>]

Hello, Alex!
I've set up some HyperContent1.4 projects. Comparing with HyperContent1.4 working with HyperContent2.0 seems easer. The prewiew function makes development of page more comfortable. Thing I still did not manage to do is build and publish. I copied workflow directory from hypercontent2.0b2 zip file from sample-repository and added to my project. In workflow of the project I see listing of events, but when I click on one of them I get error "Invocation of method 'contains' in class org.hypercontent.util.Arrays threw exception class java.lang.NullPointerException : null". I compiled HyperContent2.0 from CVS but the error still remains.

I have questions to Alex about workflow xml format. Should I provide some specific information about my project and set any atributes? On Monday's post "Re: HC 2 problems" you answered "For Build and Publish, click the "more details"" link once the process". Does "more details" link appear after building using workflow script? I could not see it because of error I mentioned above.

For Build and Publish, click the "more details" link once the process 
is complete to see a report of what has been updated.  Try wiping out 
the contents of the target directory to guarantee a full build.  You 
can also set force="true" in the build and/or publish workflow script 
(under /config/workflow/) to force all files to be output (instead of 
comparing dates).  Preview doesn't exist in the old sense . . . 
previewing is dynamically done through the "View" tab, or by accessing 
the web pages via the built-in web server.  The preview filesystem, if 
carried over in your project definition, is ignored.

You can use the process changes icon in the XML editor to submit the 
form, which refreshes the screen, also causing the dialog to appear.

Once again, the process changes icon will submit the form and refresh 
the screen.

Should we put the "Process Changes" button back to make it more clear?

The error seems to indicate a null XSL parameter value.  On first 
glance, I would suggest you check that you have the "abs-server-base" 
properly set in hypercontent.properties, and check earlier in the log 
for any stack traces that might not appear to be related (but may very 
well be).  Maybe send along the relevant "xml-doc" tag with its outputs 
from your project definition.

I would guess so as well.

>

This is a browser setting; the "View" pane is loading the dtd, and the 
browser doesn't recognize the content type.  To enable a plain text 
view of DTDs in your project, add the following pipeline to 
/config/pipelines.xml in your repository, but make sure the "binding" 
attribute is set to the identical string as your resource-directory 
"path" attribute for DTDs

<pipeline basedir="/d/" binding="/dtd/*" content-type="text/plain"/>

Are you running the beta2 release?  It works for me . . .

This is certainly possible, but not something we'll probably do here 
any time soon.  I'll be happy to give you pointers on adding that as a 
custom screen, though. It's pretty simple to add custom screens, and 
you don't have to change any of the core code.

[Hypercontent-users] HC 2 problems

[Carl B. <C.P...@hu...>]

Hi Alex

I now have time to take more of a look at HyperContent 2.   I have 
migrated a couple of projects from 1.4 without any problem and that 
seems fine.  I have had a few problems initially, all listed bellow.

Build/Publish/Preview just doesn't seems to work. No files are output 
even though the paths are all set correctly.  I am running HC2 locally 
and building onto a file server, I wouldn't have though that would make 
any difference.

When I'm editing content I don't get a save option on xml until I move 
to spell check and back.

When I want to add a new page element, I make the selection from a 
dropdown box but I can't get an editor up until I move to spell check 
and back.

I get an error when I click my imported sitemap.xml  ( full error pasted 
at the end)

Navigation isn't shown in view mode ( I presume because of the sitemap 
error)

I always get a download box when I click to edit a dtd

Advanced meta data doesn't appear when I click the link.

I would have really liked to have seem a collapseable structure as there 
was in HC 1.4

Many Thanks
Carl

Hi Ping,
	The ability to "add" items is controlled by the project =

the site navigation according to the project's information=20
architecture.  Some other HyperContent sites are configured to allow=20

Hi Liying,

Re: [Hypercontent-users] Porting Hyper Content1.4 projects to Hyper Content2.0

[Alex V. <av...@co...>]

Hi Juris,
	I'm not sure why the projects would work in one environment and not 
another, but most likely it is a configuration problem.  Double-check 
the settings in hypercontent.properties and Projects.xml, and make sure 
they are appropriate for the CentOS environment.  Also, check that the 
application server process has appropriate permissions on the 
repositories. I have not tested 2.0 on any Linux variants, but since it 
works on BSD and Solaris, I don't see why it shouldn't work on CentOS!

Cheers,
	Alex

[Hypercontent-users] Porting Hyper Content1.4 projects to Hyper Content2.0

[Juris T. <sd...@la...>]

Hello, Alex!
   I set up few HyperContent1.4 projects to work with HyperContent2.0. Some of them work but for others I got message "No File could be found for...". Theese messages for some projects I get on OS Centos Tomcat 5.0.28. Using WinXP and Tomcat 4.1.24 projects that failed work well. I experimented with one of projects that worked on Centos. I changed repository path to another in filesystem.xml file that resides in bootstrap project directory for that working project. When I changed in back as it was when the project was working fine I got the same message "No File could be found for...". I tried to restart but I didn't help.

[Hypercontent-users] Setting in DocumentFactory.java

[Carl B. <C.P...@hu...>]

Hi All

I've changed DocumentFactory.java so that the editor doesn't strip out 
certain things. Works fine :)

For one page, I need it to keep in  the whole of :

<select name="hullselect" onChange="location = 
this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">


I tried adding:
remover.acceptElement("select",new 
String[]{"disabled","multiple","name","size","onChange"});

The editor leaves name in there but strips out onChange. I presume 
because onChange is a javascript function and not a true attribute. 
Do you know what I need to add to have in leave the onChange in there?

Thanks
Carl

Re: [Hypercontent-users] Is there a sample project for web forms?

[Alex V. <av...@co...>]

Hi Liying,
	There are only very loose integration possibilities between HC2 =
and =20
uPortal at the moment.  HC2 is now a standalone service; you can use it =20=

to host XML or HTML destined for presentation in uPortal, which you can =20=

publish as Generic XSLT or WebProxy channels in uPortal using the URLs =20=

of the content hosted in HyperContent.  You will be able to achieve =20
single sign-on to secure content between uPortal and HC2 using CAS =20
soon.
	We are planning to offer WSRP content publishing and a UDDI =
directory =20
of hosted WSRP portlets in HC2.1.  As of right now I would estimate =20
that to be at least 6 months out, and should support recent uPortal 2.x =20=

releases or 3.0 when all is said and done.
=09
	The forms framework in HC2 is not well documented yet, so I will =
=20
provide a brief overview.  Form screens are configured using pipelines =20=

(see /repositories/bootstrap/config/pipelines.xml).  A pipeline defines =20=

a sequence of operations which are used to generate the HTML form with =20=

the appropriate hooks back to your processing logic. Let's look at a =20
sample pipeline configuration:

	<pipeline name=3D"upload" mode=3D"io-edit" basedir=3D"/" =20
content-type=3D"text/html" permissions=3D"read,write">
		<open-file/>
		<bind-form =20
processor=3D"org.hypercontent.form.upload.UploadFormProcessor" =20
as=3D"upload-form"/>
		<exec =
stage=3D"org.hypercontent.project.engine.stage.VelocityStage">
			<with-param name=3D"source" =
value=3D"/screens/upload.vm"/>
			<with-param name=3D"localize-with" =
value=3D"/l10n/common"/>
		</exec>
		<exec =
stage=3D"org.hypercontent.project.engine.stage.TrimStage"/>
	</pipeline>

Interactive pipelines must always have a unique "mode" parameter; this =20=

mode is then added to the query string of a URL to activate that =20
pipeline.  The optional "name" parameter allows you to bind the form as =20=

a file editor using the "editor" configuration tag in your project =20
definition, or globally from =20
/WEB-INF/classes/properties/ContentTypes.xml.  It will then show up as =20=

a subscreen under "Edit" in the GUI.  If a pipeline is not meant to be =20=

bound as an editor, you can use a "binding" attribute to specify =20
whether it should apply to "files","directories" or "all", or you can =20=

specify a pattern (e.g. binding=3D"/survey/*.xml").

The first pipeline command "open-file" indicates that for the rest of =20=

the pipeline to continue, the active user session must open the =20
underlying file for writing, which will fail if a lock cannot be =20
acquired (e.g. someone else is editing that file).

The second stage binds an implementation of =20
org.hypercontent.form.IFormProcessor to a variable, in this case called =20=

"upload-form".  The form binding is then applied to individual form =20
inputs in order to associate them with that FormProcessor; a pipeline =20=

can have multiple FormProcessors bound to it, and a single HTML form =20
can contain inputs bound to multiple FormProcessors.  You reference the =20=

form binding in a Velocity template like this:

<input name=3D"${upload-form}myinput" ...>

Or slightly different syntax in XSL rendered screens:

<input name=3D"{$upload-form}myinput" ...>

The value of that variable is a unique ID which is bound only to the =20
active Session, and which can then be invalidated in your FormProcessor =20=

logic to prevent form resubmission, e.g.

opener.getSession().unbindForm(input.getBinding());

The next stage calls a Velocity template in the repository with a =20
particular resource bundle for localization (which is always referenced =20=

as $bundle), and the final stage trims excess whitespace from the =20
output.

Every application screen in HyperContent is configured this way, so =20
there are lots of examples in pipelines.xml.  Every project can define =20=

its own pipelines.xml as well for project-specific forms.  HC2 will =20
look for velocity templates, XSL files and resource bundles first in =20
the current project, and failing that will fall back to the bootstrap =20=

project.  In this way a project can override any individual screen.

Good luck,
	Alex

I don't think uPortal 3 is quite ready to integrate with HyperContent, 
or with anything else, without a significant amount of heroics.  uP 3's 
latest release is a "milestone 1", which demonstrates some cool progress 
but isn't really ready to build your portal deployment on.

I'd suggest taking a look at uPortal 2.5.0 if you're looking for a 
"general audience" uPortal build into which to integrate your content, 
such as HyperContent content.

[Hypercontent-users] Is there a sample project for web forms?

[Liying M. <liy...@fa...>]

Hi All,

New to Hypercontent tool, new to uPortal, and I got two questions:
1. Is there any detailed documentation about linking HC2 with uPortal 3.0,
or earlier version. I just downloaded the newest version of both, and trying
to figure out how to use HC2 within uPortal environment.

2. Is there an online form sample that I can look at to figure out how to
deal with transactions within Hypercontent? I went to
C:\UPORTAL\hypercontent2.0b2\hypercontent2\source\org\hypercontent\form
directory, and got completely lost, don't know where to start. 

Any recommendations are highly appreciated!

Re: [Hypercontent-users] Porting Hyper Content1.4 projects to Hyper Content2.0

[Alex V. <av...@co...>]

Hi Juris,
	The "Zip" function does not maintain revisions, but you can keep your 
revisions in the migration to 2.0. At Columbia, we actually have both 
versions 1.4 and 2.0 running simultaneously against the same project 
repositories (just not the same bootstrap repository).  We have our 
repositories on NFS, and we simply point our 2.0 project repository 
definitions to the same directories as in our 1.4 project definitions.  
The underlying structure is 100% compatible between versions 1.4 and 
2.0.
	If you want to make a copy of the repository with all the revisions, 
you can use the command line to copy the entire repository tree to 
another location, or create a tar file which you can easily port 
between machines.

	This reminds me, in the beta distributions the bootstrap project 
itself is not versioning (due to the overhead of storing all the 
additional files in CVS).  Here are the steps to move the bootstrap 
project to a versioning filesystem:

1) Go to
	http://localhost:8080/?mode=interactive&screen=workflow
2) Run the "Download Zip" script.  When the zip is ready, a link to 
download will appear at the right.
3) Go to
	http://localhost:8080/projects/index.xml?mode=interactive
4) Create a new project repository "bootstrap-new" and set it to use 
the "local-editioning" filesystem type, and give it a mount point (e.g. 
"/bootstrap-new/") and a path
5) Go to 
"http://localhost:8080/bootstrap-new/?mode=interactive&screen=workflow"
6) browse to the zip you just downloaded, set "force overwrite" to true 
and upload it
7) Stop server, and change "/WEB-INF/properties/Projects.xml" to point 
to your "bootstrap-new" repository, and change its type to 
"local-editioning".

When you restart the server, your versioning copy of the bootstrap 
project will now be in effect.

Cheers,
Alex

[Hypercontent-users] Porting Hyper Content1.4 projects to Hyper Content2.0

[Juris T. <sd...@la...>]

Hello, Alex!
 I have set up Hyper Content2.0 and begun porting projects. It works with files itself in repository. That is it reads index.xml file not directory named index.xml as in Hyper Content1.4 and I didn't find that revisions are saved. So I am downloading on by one file from Hyper Content 1.4 and placing into Hyper Content2.0 repository. I would be impractical porting large projects:)!
  Will it be possible to keep revisions of files?

Thanks!

I don't want to overshadow what Juris has done, but I also needed FCKEditor for my application which depends on HC.  Part of my presentation
at the conference is on integrating several open source capabilities into any channel including FCKEditor.  There is now a Wiki page on the details
of how to do it.  The example code demonstrates it for HC1.4.

I am initially moving over all the sites from our homegrown CMS to 
Hypercontent,  I went live with Hypercontent 1.4 on our live portal a 
week ago but users have been using it for sometime on a test portal.

A group within Yale ITS is prototyping using HyperContent 1.x to develop 
and manage a site.  Will likely have this site, and its supporting 
Hypercontent infrastructure, in production by this fall.

[Hypercontent-users] Sites built with HyperContent?

[Alex V. <av...@co...>]

Hello everyone,
	In order to be able to discuss the state of HyperContent at the 
upcoming JA-SIG conference, we would ask you to take a few moments to 
answer a few questions.

1) What public web sites are you publishing with HyperContent (please 
list URLS)

2) How many other sites do you have in development or in a protected 
web space which are managed using HyperContent?

3) Any comments about your plans regarding HyperContent rollout, 
adoption, or upgrade to version 2?

Thanks,
	Alex

Yes.  You must globally configure an SMTP server and default sender 
address, but the senders, recipients, subject, content type and message 
bodies  are defined in a workflow script.  A project can have any 
number of workflow scripts, each of which defines one or more kickoff 
event handlers and a set of work queues.  Each queue has its own set of 
event handlers, which can be restricted by groups and permissions.  
Event handlers are configured with a sequence of commands (including 
email, build, publish, etc.) which can incorporate any custom code and 
fire further events.

Every work instance has its own set of attributes which can be set 
automatically and/or populated from user forms, and then be referenced 
as a variable in the subject or content of an e-mail message.  This 
allows you to incorporate users comments and instructions in the email 
notifications, along with links back to specific workflow screens.

Uploading is available for any file, if it is configured as an editor.  
Uploading zips can be done at any subdirectory, but for now, as in 1.4, 
the directory structure of the zip must reflect the hierarchy leading 
up to the selected subdirectory.  Does that answer the question?  Not 
sure I'm reading it right . . .

Juris at U of Latvia integrated fck into version 1.4, and I'm sure it 
will be possible in 2.0 as well.  At Columbia we're planning a major 
re-write of the XML/WYSIWYG editor
using DHTML with a node tree navigator and a new default WYSIWYG (not 
yet determined).  There's a list of other features we're planning as 
well, I'll post to the list in more detail as that work follows the 
release of 2.0.

People might miss this question . . . you might get livelier responses 
if you post a clearly labeled quick survey.

[Hypercontent-users] HyperContent @ JA-SIG conference

[Robert S. <r.s...@hu...>]

Hi

I will be presenting a paper at the upcoming JA-SIG conference on the 
use of HyperContent at the University of Hull.

I have s questions mainly for Alex about v 2 features and a more 
general question for everyone.

In HC 2

- is email notification now included as part of workflow?

- can you upload docs to specific directories within a project not just 
the one folder?

- is it now possible to include an alternate editor? I know there was 
talk of using fck by another university.

Finally, could anyone else using HC either in pilot or production let 
me know. It would be a good way to round the talk off by making 
everyone aware of who was evaluating/using the system.

Thanks for your help.

Re: [Hypercontent-users] Moving Server/Portal

[Alex V. <av...@co...>]

Hi Carl,
	All the groups and permissions are stored in the portal database, so  
you would either have to re-enter them or run some SQL queries to  
extract them from your test database and move them into production.  In  
the UP_PERM table, all the HyperContent permissions have an OWNER that  
starts with "CMS_PROJECT::".  It could get sticky moving the groups  
over, since you need the group keys to match the PRINCIPAL fields in  
the permissions table, but if those groups do not already exist in  
production, those keys may already be taken (they are generated by a  
simple number sequence).
	This is changing in 2.0, where groups and permissions will be stored  
in XML files in your project repository,  making portability much  
easier.  Unfortunately, there's no automated conversion routine for  
groups and permissions from 1.x to 2.0 - for now we're anticipating a  
manual conversion.  2.0 also adds an "approve" permission which is  
required to set the current edition of a file.

Re: [Hypercontent-users] Moving Server/Portal

[Carl B. <C.P...@hu...>]

Hi Alex

Glad to hear you've had a good break!

Thanks, it was just FileSystemConfig.xml that I had missed when moving 
over.  All seems to be working now.  What hasn't been transfered is the 
user access security on each site,  is there a file that I've missed 
here or will I need to set up access for everyone again?

Thanks
Carl

Just to clarify, you waited at least 10 seconds and were still not able=20=

to enter the new project?  And after you restarted, you were able to=20
enter it?

The filesystem.xml template includes an argument at index 1 whose value=20=

is "autocreate" - this tells hypercontent to automatically create the=20
root directory for you.  If that argument is present in your=20
filesystem.xml, you should not have to create the repository directory=20=

yourself, otherwise you would have to.

The "add" menu in version 2.0 does not offer choices to the same level=20=

of depth as versions 1.2 - 1.4.  This changed behavior is open to=20
debate (I am willing to change it back if people feel strongly about=20
it), but you should be able to create "/news/*/index.xml" files by=20
first clicking to the directory "/news/", and "/news/*/details/*" files=20=

by first clicking to a subdirectory of "/news/", etc.

The directory listings are cached against the last modified date of the=20=

directory itself . . . it is possible that Windows does not=20
automatically update the last modified date of a directory after files=20=

or subdirectories have been added, although that would be strange and=20
certainly did not show up in our testing.  Anybody else seeing this=20
problem?  I will do further testing on Windows to see if I can=20
duplicate it.

By the way, is your browser set to "check every time" that pages are=20
up-to-date?  What browser are you using?

Please update the following class from CVS and let me know if it fixes=20=

this problem.  I just checked in the change, so it may take a few hours=20=

to propagate to the sourceforge anonymous CVS.

org.hypercontent.servlet.FileUpload
