calling .js file from datacapture.cfg

Hi,

We have the FormAPI validation to a common file called 'validation.js'. We are calling this 'validation.js' in the DCT code.
using

datacapture.cfg code which includes 'validation.js' below:
-----------------------------------
script language="javascript" location="template-type" src="/iw-mount/default/main/Code/WORKAREA/workarea/common/validation.js"
------------------------------------
We have development TeamSite Server on which this code is working fine . Also the validations are working.

But same code on our Test TeamSite Server is not working.

Then I changes the location="webserver" to location="template-type"
and move the 'validtion.js' file under 'templatedata/category/type' . Its working fine on Test Server also. But i donot want to use 'template-type' in 'location'

Is there some server setting that needs to be made ? Is the 'src' not recognizing 'iw-mount' ?

Can anyone suggest whats the problem with using "webserver" on Test TeamSite Server?

Thanks in advance

location="webserver" indicates that the src attribute is the URL of the target.
To test what's happening log-in into Test TS so that you have your IWAUTH cookie and then open up another browser window.
From it, try to render the following URL: http: //Your_Test_TS_Servers/iw-mount/default/main/Code/WORKAREA/workarea/common/validation.js

Chances are, you'll get 403 (not Authorized) or perhaps even 404.

First, when you are using location="webserver", a better idea is to use iw-home/local/bin or iw-home/httpd/iw for your js but it depends on your view.

Try using src="/default/main/Code/WORKAREA/workarea/common/validation.js". Probably that will work since you are referencing from within teamsite

It's purely matter of Project standards and preferences. All that is required is that src represents valid
URL to available js resource.

Try using src="/default/main/Code/WORKAREA/workarea/common/validation.js". Probably that will work since you are referencing
from within teamsite

That won't work at all in "webserver" mode, it's not a valid URL. That's what will: src="/iw-mount/default/main..."

Hi Boris,

Thanks for ur reply.

But the path src='/iw-mount/default.....' works on my development teamsite server.Same path is not working on Test TeamSite server , though the file exists at that path.

Is there is any server wide configuration that has to be made so that 'scr' recognizes '/iw-mount' ?

Moon, I cannot keep it in /iw-home/local/bin beacuse i want to maintain the version of file.

Regards
Rohit

Have you tried a test I've suggested in my first reply? Eg, render the JS in question in the dedicated Browser window, etc...
If so, what was the result?

Well ... first of all /iw-home/local/bin wouldn't work for mode=webserver anyway since /iw-home/local/bin isn't available that way - it would have to be /iw-home/httpd/iw-bin/

And - if you create an admin branch within TeamSite you could version the file there and then use OD to push it to the local disk ...

However - it sounds like you have a bigger issue (like iwwebd or the customer webserver not being set up correctly) and I'd suggest following ISCBorisB's suggestions first.

Definitely try the test Boris indicated above, then, when you get the 404 error, modify the URL in the browser window by removing the /iw-mount and it will probably work. Check your server where it is working to see if you have a symlink from /iw-mount or something similar which is causing it to work. Then you can either replicate this on your server or, the preferred method, change the url to work in the default configuration.
