Templating to generate JSP pages

developer2008

Hi All,

We have a requirement for generating JSP files from a dcr. Can anyone please give me some guidance on what articles to read, how to get started on this. Appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Hello developer2008,

If you ever worked on generating any pages (html, xml etc.,) from a DCR, it's going to be the same for generating JSP pages. All that you need to do is, have the jsp code in your tpl, get the values from the DCR and output the jsp page.

Configure templating.cfg to have JSPs as output files.

Hi

It's very true, a simple and to-the point answer.
As far as docs are concerned read Team-Site Form-Publisher Developer Guide --Setting up Presentation Templates(Topic).

Thanks to both of you for the replies. Yes I did generate html files earlier from the dcrs. I also read the document mentioned but couldnt find much info about the jsp file generation. I was concerned whether there is a need to map the entire jar file structure to the teamsite. Is this true? From your replies it seems to be not the case.

In jsp files we use several libraries to include their functionality,right? In such a case is it necessary to map the entire repository of the libraries and code in any location on teamsite like webapps. Or is it not necessary.

To virtualize your JSP Site you will have to configure an Application Server to render your Pages.

You can do it either in TS Environment (second Tomcat if that's what you want) or some dedicated
Virtualization Environment. In the latter case you'd have to deploy generated components there and use
custom components and iwproxy to transparently redirect contributors' Requests on preview/generate
