Plugins SDK can't use "liferay-util:include"

[Da Re, geändert vor 14 Jahren.]

Plugins SDK can't use "liferay-util:include"

Don't believe me? Just try it. Use the SDK to create a JSP Portlet. Create another file called "test.jsp" in the same directory/folder as the view.jsp. Put some random text in the test.jsp file, and try to use the "liferay-util:include" tag to display the contents of test.jsp in the view.jsp.

Good luck.

hint: the problem is that "liferay-util:include" can't accomodate portlet paths that are outside the root context.

Make sure that you have included following in JSP

<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/aui" prefix="aui" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/portlet" prefix="liferay-portlet" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/security" prefix="liferay-security" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/theme" prefix="liferay-theme" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/ui" prefix="liferay-ui" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/util" prefix="liferay-util" %>

<portlet:defineobjects />

<liferay-theme:defineobjects />

Thanks

Yea it looks like it is only in the liferay context not your plugin (which can be very useful since these jsps aren't accessible otherwise.) Maybe use <%@ include file="/test.jsp" %> instead?

[Da Re, geändert vor 14 Jahren.]

Amos,

Thanks for your response.

That's exactly what I had to do.

Where this complicates things is when you include several separate JSPs (as with using the "liferay-ui:tabs"): Because these are "pre-compile" includes, I can't use the same variable names for the local variables used within the individual JSPs. It's not a big issue, but it does make re-using code snippets a bit more difficult.

Again, thanks for your feedback.

Hi Amos,

I believe that we could use correct tag format like

<liferay-util:include page="/html/portlet/bookmarks/folder_action.jsp" />

Thanks

Hi,

I suppose I duplicated this one here

I though it was a Spring context issue, but obviously this tag is really to be used only in ROOT portal context ? Please talk to me guys... Da Re is right

Is there anything new about this tag ? Considering the fact that ext will be eventually "deprecated"

Got it

<liferay-util:include page="/WEB-INF/jsp/customers/invoicesView.jspf" servletcontext="<%=this.getServletContext() %>"></liferay-util:include>

I think I asked the question right before I noticed the servletContext attribute...

[delang j, geändert vor 10 Jahren.]

hi guys,

still not working on 6.2.

<liferay-util:include page="/html/helpdesk/application_acc_req.jsp" servletContext="<%= this.getServletContext() %>" />

[meera prince, geändert vor 10 Jahren.]

Hi
pass application object as servletContext and this case when we work with plugin portlets.
Use as follows
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/portlet_2_0" prefix="portlet" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://alloy.liferay.com/tld/aui" prefix="aui" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/portlet" prefix="liferay-portlet" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/security" prefix="liferay-security" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/theme" prefix="liferay-theme" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/ui" prefix="liferay-ui" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/util" prefix="liferay-util" %>
<portlet:defineObjects />
<liferay-theme:defineObjects />
<liferay-util:include page="/html/albums/toolbar.jsp" servletContext="<%= application %>" />

i couldn't get it. could you post some example.

thanks

[meera prince, geändert vor 10 Jahren.]

Hi
Simple take the above post code and place in you JSP page it should work.
<liferay-util:include page="/html/albums/toolbar.jsp" servletContext="<%= application %>" />

for page attribute you just pass jsp path and service context use application object siple it should work
if you want some example get the portlet from following location

So many thanks.
It worked for me in 6.2.

[Da Re, geändert vor 14 Jahren.]

Jonas,

I did exactly that. The trouble with the "liferay-util:include" is that it REQUIRES a forward-slash ("/") as the first character. This is what makes the "liferay-util:include" useless for those of us who are using the Plugins SDK, because the portlets created with the SDK are deployed OUTSIDE the root context. Ergo, that small "feature" (dare I say "design flaw") makes it impossible to reference any files packaged with the WAR file.

I heard a rumor that the latest versions of Liferay are encouraging the use of the SDK over the Extension Environment (a very good idea in my NSHMO). If true, then it would behoove the developers of liferay-util to change the include so that it allows for relative pathing.

Thanks for your feedback - I hope I've clarified my situation.

In my reply below, I explain why being forced to use

<%@ include file="./test.jsp" %>

has its own disadvantage.

Hi Da Re,

You may refer to this

<liferay-util:include page="/html/portlet/bookmarks/top_links.jsp" />

Above code is workable in 5.3.

Thanks
