webeditor-development — Generic list for the webEditor developers

[Webeditor-development] Alive and kicking...?

[Kjetil K. <kj...@kj...>]

Hi there!

I'm looking for a good CMS to build on, and webEditor looks like an 
interesting project. In fact, it looks like the most interesting 
project I've found. But how is everything going? I have found that it 
has been a while since the last message to this list, and the CVS 
doesn't seem to see a lot of changes lately either, and I couldn't get 
the Demo site running... So, that is a bit of a concern. I'm not a 
wizard myself, so I'm a quite dependent on a community, though I can 
contribute something. :-)

To tell a bit about my project: I'm going to develop the site of 
Norwegian Skeptics. I've been doing it on my spare time for years. Now, 
I'm doing it full time, but only for a short while.

What I have in mind is a system that allows both to have quite a lot of 
static content, in the form of illustrated articles, and even books, 
but also a more weblog or /.-type system. In the weblog, I imagine 
posting simple posts that only links to a news story elsewhere, but 
also more extensive news articles, and finally, announcements of the 
static content. Comments and discussion is to be available for all 
categories. Configuration options should be available to registered 
users which allows them to decide how the different categories would 
appear.  

I did some work with Postnuke in a previous project (it wasn't my 
choice), and one thing I learnt in the previous project was that the 
logic-content-style separation that Cocoon insists on is a necessity, 
not only "nice". From WPD :-) it seems like you guys have been thinking 
carefully about this too. 

It seems like webEditor has similar goals, so if it is in active 
development, how do you think my needs would fit with webEditor? How 
far have you got to for example support comments appearing with 
stories? 

Best,

Kjetil

[Webeditor-development] (no subject)

[Gustavo F. <gn...@ig...>]

	Hello,

	WebEditor is a very useful tool.Does it allow content managing,I
mean,navigate to all pages created,decide wich is published or not ? I used
the live demo,very cool...But I could not put more than one image per
article.One very interesting thing would the inclusion of Flash and
Streaming video to the page.This is easy to be done,and makes the tool more
powerful!

Best Regards

[Webeditor-development] Re: Problem with images uploading

[<ag...@mu...>]

Hi Guido:

I can see two possible problems:

1.- You have not selected any "Position" for the image in the image 
composition form. Please, check that you have any value in this form 
component. Actually I would like to add an error message for this 
problem.

2.- Uploaded images are moved to the "serverRoot + / + imgDir + 
YYYY/MM/DD" directory, when YYYY/MM/DD are the same than in your docID. 
Does this directory exists onto your system? Has the web server user 
the proper rights to write files and create directories in this path?

I hope that this tips could help you

Regards

Re: [Webeditor-development] Method not supported - When called/servlet/webEditor.wEd

[Guido M. <Gui...@or...>]

Hi, It's finally works, there was a xml parser loaded in adition to the
cocoon xml parser, and I put the xerces parser in the firts line of my
jserv.properties wrapper classpath's. The /webEditor/servlet/wEd servlet
is now working and I'll try to add some user authentication if there is
no one done yet. I want to appreciate all the help that you, guys, gave
to me and I'll hope this application let me setup a home page for news
distribution. Thank you very much. !!!!!

Re: [Webeditor-development] Method not supported - When called/servlet/webEditor.wEd

[Fritz T. <fth...@st...>]

Hi Guido,

same error as I was faced on my first way steps: xerces is loaded after
any other xml parser like jaxp or oracle's xml parser.
check this again in your config where the wrapper classes were loaded or
in the start script which might contain any classpath settings: xerces
needs to be loaded before any other parser to run webEditor or cocoon or
any other framework which is based on xerces.

sounds anoying but necessary

hope it helps

regards Fritz

Re: [Webeditor-development] Method not supported - When called/servlet/webEditor.wEd

[<ag...@mu...>]

Hi Guido:

In addiction to that, it could be useful to check that you have no 
other xml parser into your Jserv configuration. If, for example, you 
have into your Jserv classpath another xerces.jar, or a javax.jar, 
parser.jar, jaxp.jar or whatever, you should comment these lines, as 
webEditor xerces.jar file will be enough.

Hope it will help you

Alfredo

Re: [Webeditor-development] Method not supported - When called/servlet/webEditor.wEd

[Fritz T. <fth...@st...>]

Hi Guido,

normaly you don't have to re-compile anything to get a web-app up and running
(if you mean the core tech stack like apache and jserv). almost only config work
or recompiling the apps.
but in your case it is hard to find the trick. could you please do the following
to find your gremlin:
make a copy of wEd.java (hope you have the source), call it wEd.java.save, vi
the original wEd.java,
find the string "Method not supported", comment it out and add the following
"e.printStackTrace(new PrintWriter(out));" instead of the "out.println("...");",
recompile wEd.java and run it in JServ again,
now you should get a exception stack trace, which might give us a little bit
more light (and please reply to the whole dev list).
to say it with other words or as the oracle support would answer: "check that
you have the latest patch sets applied" ;-)
(beside this, I was working for oracle, six hard years of my life)

regards
Fritz

PS: JServ is not Tomcat. And it works in both plus Resin. But you are right I
never tried it under iAS. Give me few days to get one and I will try it.

Re: [Webeditor-development] Method not supported - When called/servlet/webEditor.wEd

[Fritz T. <fth...@st...>]

Hi Guido,

I'm not a real JServ'er (more tomcat/mod_jk) and your config seems to be
ok, but (only as a thought) why you are calling
/webEditor/servlet/webEditor.wEd not /webEditor/servlet/wEd (as proposed
in the docs ;-)?
or you add a initArgs for webEditor.wEd to point to wEd_root

hope it helps

regards Fritz

PS: I know its hard for the Oracle guys to use tomcat/mod_jk with ias,
but you should try to propose it to your dev guys. And could you give me
a hint, how to change something on ias-apache if they are not giving the
source away. or is there a chance to fit ias into a given apache env?
thanks in advance

[Webeditor-development] Installation on Allaire JRun on Windows 2000

[Marcel v. P. <pi...@dd...>]

Hi,

I managed to install webEditor 0.3 on a Windows 2000 Server with Allaire's
JRun 3.0.
I use JVM 1.3.0 (came with Netscape 6).
1a. Install JRun with default options. Connect to external web server if you
want - I did not investigate this. After installation, JRun administrator is
launched.
1b. Download and unzip the webEditor.war.zip file.
2. Choose "Deploy an application" under JRun Default Server in JRun
administrator, click "Deploy an application" and browse to the .war file.
   select "JRun Default Server"
   Application name: webEditor
   Application URL: /webEditor
   Application Deploy Directory: C:\Program
Files\Allaire\JRun\servers\default\webEditor
(Note: upper and lower case does make a difference!)
3. Edit C:\Program
Files\Allaire\JRun\servers\default\webEditor\WEB-INF\web.xml:
   Change the line with <param-value>[$TOMCAT_HOME] ... etc. to:
   <param-value>C:/Program
Files/Allaire/JRun/servers/default/webEditor/editor_1</param-value>
4. Copy the file xerces.jar from the webEditor lib directory to C:\Program
Files\Allaire\JRun\lib
5. Edit global.properties in the same directory:
   in the line that starts with "java.classpath=" insert
{jrun.rootdir}/lib/xerces.jar as the first entry. Leave the rest as it is.
6. Restart server
7. Start your web browser and go to localhost:8100/webEditor (mind the
uppercase E!!!), open index.html (in JRun administrator you can make this
file the default document for this site).
There you are (at least I hope so)!

Hi Guido,

another hint: check your classpath settings - xerces has to be loaded
before jaxp

Looks like the problem is in the java reflection API. It will be really

[Webeditor-development] Hi to all!

Welcome to the new webEditor mailing list!

It is conceived as a common place where developers can share 
experiences, installation problems, desired features and so on.

Our personal hope is that you could find this list useful, as we really 
appreciate feedback from our users :-)

Enjoy!
